ADULTERA ATIONS.

Tennsyson says that chalk and alum
and plaster are sold to the poor for
bread, and that the vitriol madness
flashes up in the ruflian's brain till thc
lthy highway rings with the yell of
rampled wife, and he might have gone
further and told of numerous adultera-
tions both in food and drink. Mustard
is adulterated with sulphate of lime,
naphthaline yellow, and dark -four.
Black pepper is reduced with
charcoal, buckwheat chaff, mustard
bean, ground cocoanut, and dried po-
tatoes; cayenne pepper with corn meal
colored with Venetian red allspice or
pimento with cocoa shells; cloves with
Glove stems and cocoa shells ; mace with
corn meal; cinnamon and cassia with
ground crackers, stale bread, and bis
cults baked and ground; ginger with
corn meal, cayenne pepper, and turmeric
cream tartar is adulterated with terra
albe and corn flour. 70 know that
cream tartar is pure take half teaspoon
ful of it and put it in tumbler with hot
water. If pure, it will all dissolve with
out sediment.
To detect adulterations i'll milk, IL re-
cent lecturer says that the lactometer Is
useless, and plays into the hands rather
of the fraudulent dairyman than of the
consumer. Fat being lighter than water,
a rich milk might appear watered by
test and tricks of the milk trade might
thus be fostered by its Use. The i'm
portance of purity i'll milk could not be
overestimated, but the only method
known by which it could be satisfactori-
ly tested was complete analysis. The
testing of butter is also somewhat COM
plicated. A simple yet infalliDle test for
alum in the flour is as follows: On a
portion of adulterated flour being placed
III u small quantity of chloroform, the
flour floats, while the alum or other
mineral matter sinks 60 the bottom. In
a similar way alum i'll bread may be in
stantly detected by placing small piece
of the suspected loaf III solution of
logwood and carbonate of ammonia if
alum be present the bread will turn
