Tes for Lard Authorizations.

The Uitcd States Agricultural d.
partmenihas discovered a simple test
Ly which any shop keeper can detc ct
adulteraion in lard. The experiment
is as follows: AS much lard as can be
taken up on the point of a pocket knife
is placed in a tea cup About quarter
of an ounce of sulphuric acid is placed
upon it, and the two substances mixed.
If the lard is pure it will coagulate, and
there will be little difficulty in uniting
it with the acid. If it is adulterated
with cottonseed oil or stearine, the mix :
ture will take place imme diateIy and
easily. The substance is then poured
into common test tube. Tle acid,
somewhat colored, will sink to th9
bottom, while the fatty matter will re-
main on top. If the lard thus tested
was pure, its color will be light sponge,
changing slowly to a dark cinnamon
tint. II it has been adulterated with
cottOnsecd oil the color at first will be
darker, changing Immediately to a
deep brown. The differences in the
hues are so marked that a mistake can
not be made ia the analysis. Il New
York Press.

Purity.
Like a shy startled thing she stood
In th Wild tanglc of the wood;
Her violet eyes in sweet surprise
Seemed ONE fair shadowing of the skies;
In her white han Is some bluebells spent
Their dying breath in soft c intent
Her parted lips their white pearls showing,
Her checks like rose hues paling, glowing,
And all her child like innocence.
Guide, guard, protector and defense.
What started herr heavy tread
Through the dim aisles, arched overhead
By sun-Aecked leaves and vibrant boughs,
And what Of heaven such shade allows.
All day sweet soun Is had been a-stir-
The soft, far-Ieaching orchestra
OF birds, bees, whispering Withstand oVel
The nearer fields Of grass and clover
Came tinkling cow-bells sitting through
As violets tint the dusk and dew.
A tramp comes chi the pine leaves sweet
Shudder beneath his naked feet;
He stops, wild, hungry, outlawed, herce'
His haggard eyes the glrls eyes plerce'
But something in their tend r light
Checks his half-savage mood, despite
The lawless, desperate soul within
That seldom stops at soil or sin:
He moves aside---she passes by,
Saved by the power Of purity

known as the bear grass, the leaves be-
ing from eighteen inches to two feet in
length, and the edges have hooked
horn. The leaves put out from or
crown bulb, like pineapple or kohl
rabi, which is on or above the ground,
and Is from one foot 10 two and one
half feet In diameter. The bulb is the
part that til, stock eat, and is very nu-
trltious, containing largo amount Of
saccharinc matter. The Mcxicans make
an alcoholic liquor from it, known as
mescal de sotal, and is one of the most
fiery Of the many fiery beverages Of that
country. To feed it to sheep, a man
starts out ahead of the fl ,ck and with
an ak splits open these bulbs, and the
sheep follow and gnaw out the centre.
In three or four months sheep will get
hog fat on sotal, which is as good in
winter when there is no grass, as in
summer, and possibly better. Cattle
are fed in the same manner. OF course,
there is a great waste, for when once
cut open the plant is killed, in which
respect it differs from the cactus plant,
which propagates from a leaf dropped
on the ground. But for Thousands of
square miles tho sotal literally covers
the ground, and will fed hundreds of
thousands of sheep and cattle, and will
last into the incalculablo future. Sotal
and cactu, only few years ago were
considered incumbercr, of the land,
and now they arc important factors in
successful stock raising and feeding in
southwest Texas. i Fresno (Cal.) Ex-

We were out among the mich cows, speak

with patronizing air;
"Snes as plump as any pigeon, and her coat
as soft as silk,
But the slickest looking heiier amt the ON

OFT meath clumsy outward learing beats e
heart both true and brave,
And the smooth and winning manners ma!
conceal the vilest knave
So the lean horse does the pulling and is no
afraid of work,
While the fat and lazy pony is contrivlnt
how to shirk.
Would you b1ck city dandy to engageii il

Send the short horn to the butcher, she VII

The Name Of Gladstone.

II saw Mr. Gladstone once at gar
den party, where he was lionized to an
extent that i, unknown in Ameri a, !"
writes Bakoly Hall in the New York
Sun. Everywhere he went, droves of
people followed him. When he began
a conversation with any ono, all the sur
rounding crowd stretched forward as if
their lives depended upon hearing every
word he uttered. In power or out, up
or down, successful or unsuccessful,
Gladstone is the one prominent and
majestic figure among his countrymen
to-day. To say that he is the foremost
man in England is to put it very mildly.
He is Of so much importance that the
mention of GIadstono's name among a
group of sombre Britons in a railroad
carriage, smoking room, or club in any
part of the kingdom, will set the crowd
agog IN a fashion wonderful to behold.
The name is flaming menace and
terror to stupidity and silence. l have
often amused myself, when travelling
through England, by simply utteTing
his name and observing the results, 1t
was enough to set the most taciturn of
fellow travellers in transport of vOlu-
bility; and the result was always long
lecture on political events brought to
close by violent attacks on the grand
old man, stismatizing him as every
thing that was vile and treacherous, or
else long culogy of the most glowing
and exalted nature"
