How to Overcome the Dangers OF
Exposure.

Francis O'Reilly, the well-known livery
man of No. Is Prince street, New York,
says of ALLcoCK's Porous PLAsrERs:
"For the last forty two years have been
engaged in the livery and hacking bust
ness am greatly aided by my four boys
We arc much exposed TO the weather, and
we have found ALLcocK's PLAsTERs OF
very great service. We use them as chest
protectors, placing one on the chest and
one on the pit of the stomach. They not
only ward of the cold, but act as tonic
We are frequently affected with rheuma,
tism, kinks in the back, and pains in the
side; but one or two of ALLcoCK's PLAs-
TERs quickly cure us. My wife and daugh-
ter have been using ALLcoCK's PLAsTERs
for weak back and think the world of them
/ have now been using them for twenty
years, and always have a box in the house. y

ADuLTERATED SPICES.

An Expert Describes the Method of Cheap
ening Expensive Articles.
sRice -four and white meal can be
mingled with white pepper in reasona-
ole quantities and experts in spices can
not detect it, said a leading grocer to
a reporter. ssIn fact. there is nc trade
in which adulteration for pecuniary
profit can be carried on more profitably
and with less chance of detection than
in spices. Terra alba, fine marble
dust, is exported from Italy to this
country in considerable quantities to
mingle with white pepper. Mustard
mixes with sago -four, rice -four, and a
bit of aniline coloring without detri-
ment to the appearance of the mustard.
Treat the mixture with iodine and you
expose the adulteration; but the average
consumer of mustard is not apt to APP
ply that test. The German and French
mustards are an interesting mixture.
They are compounded of cracker dust,
mustard. cayenne pepper, white vim
egar, oil and sugar favoring. Old
crackers are sometimes baked brown,
then ground into dust and mixed with
ground cinnamon and nutmeg, and the
whole is sold for nutmeg at a price
that drives pure nutmegs out OF the
market.
"Ground pepper is frequently sold
for less money than the unground ar
ticle, which makes the naturally sus-
picious suspect at once that the ground
goods are loaded with pepper dust,
which is made from cocoanut shells
or buckwheat hulIs, charcoal. white
meal and mustard bran. Lack OF taste
is as desirable, in an adulteration Of
spices as adaptability Of color. For
that reason the cocoanut shell, ground
up very fine. is desirable. Venetian
red, salt and white meal can be ground
together and made into valuable ad-
dition to cayenne pepper. A dull, red
pepper, exported from Africa, is often
heavily adulterated with that mixture.
It is worth only about 10 cents apound
when pure, but when well adulterated
it can be sold to green dealer and a
green trade for genuine Natal pepper,
worth from 25 to 35 cents pound.
You can buy ground ginger at almost
any store for z cents pound, when
the unground article commands IL
cents for the same quantity. Thai
means that the goods offered for
cents pound is mixture OF white
meal, starch. cayenne pepper and ma

THE POLITICAL CANCER.
About Which the Republican Doctors Arr
Disagreeing.

Republican
Disagreeing.
The Republican doctors held con-
sultation in 1891, and their platform
declared that surplus is a disease
cancerous in character, dangerous to
the health OF the patient, and if not
removed, perilous to his life. 1t Is
the part of patriotism, they said, to
cut out the dangerous growth and by
skillful medicament prevent its recur-
renee The people accepted this
sensible and wise diagnosis and urged
an immediate application Of the knife.
The Democratic doctors also con-
vened, examined the case carefully and
reached precisely the same conclusion.
There was unanimity for once. In
their pronunciamento you will find
that they substantially agreed with
the Republican doctors both as to the
nature of the disease and as to the i'm
perative duty to take it in hand and at
once operate.
No matter why just now, but in that
year 1884 the Democratic doctors were
appointed by popular vote to take
charge of the sufferer and restore him
to health if possible. They went to
work. Mills, of Texas, and his COM
mittee presented a detailed plan of
action. This, that and the other thing
were to be done in this, that and the
other way. With free wool and other
raw materials, the duty on lumber and
other necessaries of life removed or
decreased the patient could have a
house to live in, good woolen shirt,
not shoddy, and cheaper groceries.
He could have steady work, fair
wages, a prosperous home and a happy
and contented family.
] What is the result? Why, the Re-
publican doctors are having a pretty
dy-do-snarling, growing, snap
ping. Some of them have gone so far
as to say that the patient has no cancer
there is no surplus-that he is SIM
ply suffering from general debility and
will come out all right if literally sup

FARM AND FIREslDE.
MANY farmers who have pla


orchards on hill-sides have spent much
time resetting and doctoring. Able
writers say that hillside where the
water runs off quickly is the very
place for the worms to hatch their
young.
"A garden trowel, or a round stick
about one and a half inches in dame
ter, and about one foot long, and a
cross-piece fastened on top and the
other end well sharpened, is a very
convenient implement for making the
holes in which to set the plants.
TO secure good seed corn for next
year the farmer should begin while the
corn is growing to make observations.
He should note and mark all promi-
nent stalks, as the early maturity,
vigor and prolificacy are as important
as the termination of the seed.
1t is Southern fashion to cook
green corn in the husk, and l have
never eaten any more delicious. Re-
move only the course outer husks,
leaving on the inner ones. Strip these
down so as to to remove the silk, then
tie them in place again and boil.
Serve with d bowl of melted butter and
season well with salt and pepper.
do not be tempted to grow two
plants on the space that should only
be occupied by one. An extra unde-
sirable plant becomes weed, and
when the two are OF the same kind
they iniure each other more than If of
different species, as they demand the
same food from the soil and must strug-
gle with each other.
--Vaseline makes very clean. odor-
less application for light harness, rid
ing brides, saddles, etc. After giving
it chance to dry in, go all over the
surface with rag dipped in the white
of an egg. This gives it waterproof
coating that will last for some time and
prevents the oil from staining the
hands or clothing. Have the leather
perfectly clean before oiling.
The digestive organs soon get out
of order when grain is fed to the ex-
clusion of grass or bulky food. This is
true of all classes of stock and also of
poultry. 1t is better to feed hay alone
| than allow a surfeit of grain. especially
in summer. A variety of food promotes
digestion and prevents disease. 1t is
also more economical to give a variety,
as less food is then required.
-Caramels: One and half pounds
sugar, one cup cream, one tablespoon

lemon. Pour into a buttered dish,
and before it gets perfectly cold, cut
into squares by running knife up and

when cold.

case of bowel troubles. Roast it to

Of friends he returned, determined TO stand

Give us a Sweeper.

In addition to all the men now employed
in the street cleaning force OF the health de-
partment the city should have a street-sweep-
ing machine. To do without 1t and keep the
streets in neat order Is next to impossible.
As Il is, not one single street IN Richmond
Is kept as neatly a. IL should be. Main,
Broad, and Cary streets are often shOckingly
dirty.
As often before said the Board Of Health
is not to blame They have asked the City
Council for more men aud for a street
sweeping machine, too. but no attention has
aS yet been paid to the rsatter. A machine
would probably cost $1,000, and with il, and
the present force Of workmen, it might be
possible to ut least keep Broad and Main
streets In tip-tOp order.
1t Is very seldom indeed that matter dele
FERROUS TO the public health is found In our
streets; but it Is, on the other hand, very
seldom that business street is found free
from pieces Of wrapping and newspapers,
old tin cans, ashes, manure, debris from

residences are better order prevails, for
there the busy housewife sees TO II that the
broom IS frequently put to the sidewalks and

THIRTY ELECTRIC CARS.
Grand Display Made by the Union
Line YesterdaY.

Ten OF the beautiful summer cars which
have Just been fitted up with electrical APP
planes at the Union Passenger. Railway
Company's sheds. on Church Hill, were put
on the electric line yesterday afternoon for
trial trip. They were all manned by the EN-.
ployees Of the Sprngue Motor Company,
and ran without the slightest hitch. No
fares were collected, but all Of them carried
sbout average loads OF passengers, many OF
whom were specially invited to make the
trial trip. Among these were several princi-
pals Of the public schools.
This was the first time that as many as
thirty cars have ever Deen on the line at one
time. and the ease and niceness with which
all OF them moved was highly gratifying.
The Dispatch was unable to learn last night
whether these cars will be operated to-day,
but perhaps they will be, as heretofore tweE-
ty nave proved utterly inadequate to meet
the demands Of the Sunday travel.
IL was hoped that By to-day the entire line
to the New reservoir would be IN operation.
but such Is not to be the case. Cars will
probably run there by next Sunday.
The electric cars are death on dogs. Seye-
raj have been killed BY them. Another was
added 10 the list yesterday, baylHg been
killed by Fiith-street car running over II.
