W itnesS-No, sir; it would utterly ruin it.
The Chairman-If it has been done it would
change your views about the wholesomeneSs
OF this product?
Witness-It could not be done without de-
lection
The Chairman-Then it.has been detected
because it has been done The evidence is
conclusive on that point. The parties who
transported it have sworn it before the inter-
state commerce commission The chair knows
exactly what ii is talking about.

it annihilates our leading industries. If the
bill becomes law there is nothing left our
people to do but fish.
I'm my opinion there is no chance for The bill
to pass as it stands. The hill | regard as po-
Htieal and not an economic measure, and it is
plain to see that it was framed with special
reference to controlling the electoral votes of
certain states this fall
MIR. RANDALL TALKS.
Mr.. Randall told the correspondent TINT he
had not yet read the bill, and therefore de
clined to pass an opinion upon its merits.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Randall's brief remarks
on the floor of the house yesterday it may as
well be understood now as in the future that
MIR Randall has no. idea of standing with the
members of the ways and means committee,
and supporting the present tariff bill or any
thing like it. Mr.. Randall's idea of tariff re-
form is to take off about SG0,00o,O0o
OF the internal revenue taxes
and place about S10000Q00 ON
dutable articles in the free list. To do this he
would abolish the tobacco tax and reduce the
tax on whisky to 80 cents
Senators Beck, Blackburn, Kenna, Voorhees,
and Turpie said they had not had time to go
through the entire BILL but that from what
they had read they regarded it as very wise
and exceedingly conservative document, and
they believed if the bill passed the house it
had good show to get through the senate.

WASHINGTON, March 2.--Abram s. jewell,
commission merchant Of New York, and a
member Of the New York produce exchange
appeared before the house committee on agri-
culture this morning. Up to 1887, he said he
had been in the lard business and has dealt
largely in lard. His firm had been probab Y
the first i'll the country to manufacture refined
lard. Before the hog packing business was
brought to its present state Of excellence and
when hogs were cured in small establish
NESTS, it was almost impossible to get a thou
sand tierces OF lard of any uniformity and
his firm had conceived the idea Of rendering
lard so as to make it uniform. II put no out
side substances into tho lard, but into lard
which was exported to Soath America
countries it mixed stearine in
order to harden the lard aud enable it to stand
warm weather. Competition had grown so
rapidly that manufacturers sought something
to cheaper the product, and used water. II
nally so much water was pat i'll lard that
buyers rejected it. AS much as thirty-live per
cent of water was put in. Today steam lard
contained two or three per cent Of water;
scarcely any has less than one per cent Ket-
tie rendered lard was absolutely free from wa
ter. When buyers refused lard Oh account Of
the large amount OF water in IT, the manufac-
turer looked about for some cheap article 10
take its place and fixed upon cotton seed oil.
1t was found that 1t combined with lard With
out damaging IT, while it cheapeaed its cost.
The adding OF oil 10 lard ncCc6sitated the use
Of a hardening substance like steann 10 coun-
teract it. About the time cotton seed oil be-
gan TO be used, oieomargcrne steariue came
into the market. 10 was made from the fat Of
bullocks. There was nothing impure that could
come from an animals fat and II was
used IN hardening the lard. lie did not know
exactly what proportion Of cotton seed oil
went into lard, but he should think tho pro-
portion to be about sixty pounds Of lard TO
about twenty-five pounds Of oil and fifteen
pounds Of stcarine,
This product he considered to DO wholesome
and just as good as pure lard, as far rs cooking
was concerned There were standard quail
ties Of cotton seed oil, but he did not know
that they differed except as 70 color.

CARLISLE,S OPINION

CHICAGO, March "a Times special
from Wichita, Kansas, says:
Hon. John G. Carlisle, who is in the city
attending the bedside of his sick son, said to-
ay:"The Mills tariff bill is n very conserva-
tive measure and ought to be passed, the III
naneial and industrial situation would have
justified much more radical measure, but
there are always so many differences of
opinion about details that it is impossible to
do exactly what ought to be done.
The bill has been prepared with
great care, and know that it has been the
purpose of its fran rs To deal fairly and liber-
ally with any interest affected by it. There
has been no feeling of hostility TO the capital
or labor employed in the manufacturing indus
tries, and the bill, ifpassed, will not hurt them
Wool, lax, hemp, jute, dyestu9s and many
other raw materials are placed upon the free
list and this will largely reduce the cost of
production without reducing the wages of la
Dor. The consumer will thus be enabled to
get cheaper goods while the manufacturer will
realize ample profits, and the former will con-
unue to receive the same or higher wages.
think the bill will pass substantially as report
ed. If it be defeated, the democratic party
will appeal to the people on this question at
the next election, ana congress will be chosen
that will reduce the revenue much more than
is now proposed"

Three Enormous Giants.

FROM the Philadelphia Record.
The officers of the bark Abyssnia, which
has just arrived at this port from the Philippine
Islands, tell remarkable story of the visit to the
vessel during the voyage ola party of sayages of
immense size and curious characteristics. When
the Abyssinia was sailing along near the island of
Xula Bessey, in latitude 14o e. SOUTH longitude 1862
80 east white object was discovered fastened to
mast in small boat The little craft
was permitted to come alongside, when it
WIS found that it was manned by
three enormous savage giants of all unknown
race, who endeayered to talk to the people on the
bark by signs, but failed to make their obiec
known. The three savages were very tall, and Their
arms were as thick ordinary mans leg, upon
which the muscles stood out like great cords. Thei
boat was a dug-out cance and their garments con
sisted Of short tar-stained shirts that only reached
to their waists Their bodies and mouths were
painted deep brown. No one on board the bark
could make out what they wanted, and after some
time spent in fruitess efforts to find out their mis-
sion, the vessel went on her course

AstrnIncrrs' Ma ICDi Rir Is.

The ring among astrologcrs wcS favor
tie means of divining the future. 1t was
suspended by hair in the middle Of a
cup known as the draining cup, CUES
tons were asked and the ring tai ed the
sides of the goblet in answer, b.. as the
hand of the astrOloger held III" hair to
which the ring was fastened, perhaps
there was not so much divining in this
as the credulous supposed. AL astrol-
ogers, however. had ct least seven magic
rings; one for the sun. diamond set in
gold; another for the moon, a crystal in
silver; a third for NJ rcury, a To- dstone
in silver; fourth for Venus, IN al lethyst

tin; a seventh for Saturn, turq ::oise in
lead. Many astrologers had zodiac ring,
or ring exhibiting in its setting all the
signs of the zodiac, the general eff 2ct be-
ing that of a calendar or old fashioned
almanac. Charm rings are also very
common even in later times. Henry VIII
had so much confidence in a ring which
belonged TO Thomas Beckett that he
had it set as a thumb ring and wore it

A New Pre.ersativs Art.

II. Truy, the French consul at this
port, has in his parlor huge decorative
piece, seemingly of roses, rosobuds. vio-
lets, smilax and other flowers and foliage,
apparently carved with most exquisite
delicacy in bronze. The most minute
curves and veinings Of the smallest petals
and leaves are preserved with infinite
cxactitude, so that IL would seem as IL
the piece represented years Of patient APP
plication of the highest skill in this diff
cult branch of art. In point Of fact,
however, the whole thing was produced
in few hours, and at small expense, by
the new process Of plating, the invention
Of Frenchman. Each bronze flower
and leaf incloses the real original, upon
which the metal has been deposited by
electric action, and IL is affirmed that the
roses SO encased retain indefinitely their
perfume, and, even in their deepest
interiors, their natural colors The
same process is applied il the making Of
silver flies, beetles and otter insects, and
even in the coating OF lizards and small
snakes for the enumeration Of parasol
handles ard cane heads. The dead insect
or reDtile is Theoretically sealed up in its
metal coat, and, it is said, will never de-
cay, at least until the metal is worn
through, and, as the deposit may be put
on as thick as is deemed advisable, they
may be made to last as long as peoples
liking for. them as novelty endures.
The fidelity to nature in these reproduc-
tons Is wonderful.
Heretofore something Las been done in
the direction Of plating non-conducting
surfaces by giving them primary coat
ing Of plumbago, but that always was
necessary imperfect process. The French
electrician substitutes for that bath
the composition of which is o secret
into which the objects to be plated arc
plunged for few seconds. When they
are withdrawn they dry off almost i'm
mcdiately and seem to have upon them o
family discernable coating like the bloom
upon plum. They are then plunged
into an electric bath, and any metal de-
sired is deposited upon them.--New York
