Impure Food.

Exceeding caution should be exercised
in the purchase of new article of
food Many cases of serious illness
have been reported from the use of the
new patent food for infants, f.om IN
tested baking powders, and cheap
flavoring extracts. The desire for
rapid wealth induces unscrupulous man
ufacturers to place anything before the
public that will sell at large profit,
without regard to It's usefulness or
healthfulness. At present there is a
great raid upon The baking powder
market and SO many impure and adul-
terated articles of this kind have been
peddled abort the counry that the
authorities IN several of the States have
taken the necessary action to expose
them. The report Of the Ohio State
Food Commission has shown that a
large number of the brands sold here
are made from alum, phosphates, or Il
cheap and. adultrated cream of tartar
The dan ger to the public is made still
Create by the unblushing eflrontry
with which the proprietors of these i'm
pure powders advertise them as perfect,
claiming for them all kinds of false and
inn possible endorsements.
Che official report of the Ohio State

number of these impure powders, and
the amount Of impurity and inert mat

The Original state of Man.

In the cycle phenomena presented
by the life of man, the animal, no
more moral end is discernablc than
in that presented by tho lives Of the
wolf and of the deer, However ini-
perfect the relics % prehistoric men
may be, the evidence which they afford
clearly tends TO the conclusion that,
for thousands Of years. before the
origin q the oldest known civilizations,
men we're savages Of a very low type.
They stroye with their enemies ana
their competitors; they prayed upon
things weaker or less cunning than
themselves; they we're born, multiplied
without stint, and died, Tor thousands
of generations, alongside the mann
moth. the urus. the lion, and thc
hyena, whose lives were spent in the
same way; and they were no more 70
be praised or blamed, on moral
grounds, than their less erect and more
hairy compatriots.
As among these, so among primitive
men, the weakest and stupdest went
10 the wall, while the toughest
and shrewdest, those who were best
fitted 10 cope with their circumstances
but not the best in any other sense,
survived. Life was q continual free
fight. and beyond the limited and tenn
porary relations OF tie family, the
Hobbesian war Of each against all was
the normal state Of existence. Tho
human species. like others, FLASHED
and fonndered amid the general
stream of evolution, keeping is head
above water as il best might, thinking
neither Of whence nor whittier. Prot

A Rare Confederate Coin.

One of the best jokes of the season
is current in the Gate City Bank build
ing. Ali the lawyers are laughing
nhoui i. The victims are Mr.. Frank
Walker. Col. John b. Redwine. and q
negro boy, whose name is Jerry John
son. A few days ago this boy was
standing near Il trash pile and was en-
gagged in running his toes through the
debris. He noticed something bright
in the pile. and hen he picked it up
found 1t to be small yellow coin. At
first he thought it was copper, but as
he fingered it his native sense told
him it was too heavy for copper, so he
at once conjectured that it was made Of
gold. He had some business with Mr..
Walker, and while in his office showed
him the piece of money. He asked
the lawyer how much he would give
him for it. Woolfolks attorney, after
cycling it closely. thought it was gold
dollar, and as he was particularly anX-
ious to get such a coin TO wear on his
watch chain he offered the boy 81 for
It, which he gleefully accepted.
Mr.. Walker gave the coin a careful
examination and became convinced
that be had paid too much for it. He
was in Col Redwine's office, and took
the coin out and exhibited it TO the
great iinancier. "What will you give
me for it?" he asked. "l'll give you
ST." was the reply. "And I'll give
you $l.25, interrupted man who
had come in to renew note. Done, p"
exclaimed Mr.. Walker. Heres your
money! was the uuick answer The
buyer left the Office with his coin, and
the lawyer thought he had made a
good bargain.
Hurrying of to a man that buys
coins, the pure aser exhibited tho
piece. The dealer scrutinized it close
ly and said: What will you take for
it?' What will YOU give2" After q
little consideration the dealer said:
''Will you take S25 for itP" The an
swer was: mo, but I'll take $50 for
it," ats 90; here's your money"
and the happy man walked out of the
office.
The coin which figured in these
transactions is q Confederate gold dol
lar. A gentleman while talking yes
terday to reporter said: 1.-The worst
sold man of the four was he who sold
the coin for $50 II it be true that it
is, as represented, a genuine Confed-
crate gold dollar. it is worth 500.

General b. +. Butler, says a Wash
ington correspondent, is here for the
present in his big stone house oppo-
site the southern end of the Capitol.
/ called there few days ago, and
found the rooms large and luxuriously
furnished. the walls hung with fine
paintings. One room contains an ele-
CANT billiard table. The General is
suffering from succession of colds
in the head, from which he can get no
relief. lie is a hard worker every
day, and has so much business on
hand that he is slave to his pen. He
says the dinner hour is the only leisure
he has, and he has made it an inilexi-
BILE rule that no matter who calls to
see him while he is at dinner he will
not be disturbed. 81 cannot and will
not see the dinner fiend," he says.
After dinner he goes back to his work,
remaining until 11;20 p. m. Then he
is hungry and calls for something to
eat. He goes to his sleeping-room,
lights all the jets each side Of his bed,
and piling in reads until he falls
asleep. If he wakes up during the
night. as he often does, he resumes his
reading. He is tic first one up in the
morning, when he at once goes TO his
desk. Such is the daily routine life of
one who has acquired wealth and is
well on in years, but who is not able
to stop business aud take rest That
will come with the end OF life.

james, dear, sill YOU bring me up
hod of coal from the cellar?' said 4
busy wife.
That's just the way with you, " said
James. with black frown, as he put
down his book and rose up from the
lounge.
Just the way with nc?"
Yes, he snapped ''As soon as you
see me enjoying myself you have some
chore or another for me to do. Didn't
you see that l was absorbed in my
readingP'
"Well, dear, | will do it myself"
YES, and tell everybody, your
mother especially. that you have to
carry your own coal up from the cell
larr No, I'll do it. Let me mark my
place.
So he marked his place in the book
at which he had ceased reading, and
when he went down to the cellar,
grumbling all the way, she picked up
the volume and found it was a love
story, and that the passage he had
been absorbed in was as follows: my
darling, when you are my wife | will
shield and protect you from every care
the winds of heaven shall not visit
your face too roughly. those pretty
hands shall never be soiled by mental
tasks. your wish shall be my law, your
happiness
just then he reappeared, and dump
ing the nod on the floor said: There:
your darnea coal. Give me my book.

of them noted for such barbarous
