charcoal-the last to represent the
black hull of the pepper grain: then
add fifteen pounds of ground cayenne

"It's the same way with mustard"
the grocer continued. "Fifteen to
twenty pounds of cayenne pepper,
the balance of cheap wheat -four col

which aren't otter retailed, contain as
much as one.half of the real mustard

What passes for cinnamon Is the bark
of the csssia tree. This is adulterated
with still cOarser bark, known as
cassia versa. The article is also mixed
with peas and roast bran. need not
tell you about roast coffee; everybody
knows about that. It's just the same
way through the whole list Of spices.

tedious debate of the tariff question, but
there is little evidence upon which to
base an assumption that anything will
be accomplished toward actual revision.
The Democratic leaders in the House,
however, are understood to be deter
mined to consider the Morrison bill and
place the members on record by their
votes. Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, has
introduced an important bill for old SOL
diers amendatory of the pension laws.
He proposes TO increase the pension for
loss of an eye 10 $50 per month, and for
partial loss of sight to a proportionate
amount; to increase the pension for loss
of one hand or foot, or for total disabil-
ity of the same TO SS5 per month; for loss
of an arm within five inches of or above
the elbow joint, or loss Of leg within
six inches of or above the knee joint, or
total disability of the same, to $40 per
month; and for loss of an arm within six
inches of the shoulder joint, or a leg
within eight inches of the hip, to $45 per
month. Also, providing that the pen
slons of all persons now on the pension
rolls and all persons hereafter granted
pensions by special act of congress shall
commence from the date of discharge
from the service of the United States;
provided that the disability was con-
tracted III line of duty in the service OF
the United States.
Several amendments to the National
bank act of July 18th, 1852, have been
presented, the main points of which are
TO reduce the amount of deposits of such
banks now required to be placed with
the treaeurer as security for circulation.
Congressman Parker, of New York,
has introduced bill TO amend the cleo
margarine act which proposes to fix the
tax on that commodity at six cents per
