The Use of Sacrkarin0.

The use Of saccharine as substitute for
sugar is not considered safe from a medical
point of view. DR.. Worms, in a communi-
catien to the French academy Of medicine,
states that of several patients who made use
Of saccharine by his advice, all bur one were
compelled TO give it up on account Of the oc-
currence Of dyspeptic symptoms, nausea,
loss of appetite, etc. 1t Is usually not until
after the substance has been taken from ten
to fifteen days that it manifesss its evil infu-
ence. 1t then appears to accumulate in the
system.-Scientifie American.

Mclean, of The ENQUIRER.

As an evidence of his business sense NAV
say that he foresaw the tight times of 1873
nearly year before the banks suspended
specie payments and prepared for them by
boarding every dollar of currency that he
could get hold of. he kept this currency in
his tin boxes in the vaults of a safe deposit
company, and when the suspension came he
had $4,000 in cash on hand. The advan-
tages this gave him were great. On one oc-
casion a prominent paper manufacturer
came to him and wanted to sell him some
paper at very low figures
What are your best rates for million
pounds!' said Mclean.
"A million poundsr queried the msnufac-
turer. Let me see.
Then after a mental calculation he an
Bwered: Mr. Mclean, as times are hard and
money is tight and the amount You want is
Z large one, viii let you have it for six
cents pound"
"What time Will you give met" was the
young mans next question.
"Wen, two or three months" was the
reply.
''Oh, that isn't enough" said Mclean.
money is scarce and hard TO get. / must
have six months at Ieastn
This was finally acceded to and contract
was made Immediately. Hardly was it
sgued when Mclean turned 10 the manu-
Iacrurer and asked: "Sow, what discount
win you allow HE for cash on the delivery Of
the papers" This took the other all aback,
but the result was that Mclean paid cash for
his paper as it was delivered 10 him and got
t for five and one-half cents O pound, and
this at a time when some Of his business
rivals had to pay over a cent pound more
for the same grade of paper, besides the in
terest on the money they had to borrow to
settle their bills.-New York Cor. Phiiadei-

Leg islatiOn Wanted Against the
Importation OF Players.
WASHINGTON, December ia Com
mittee, representing the Actors Order OF
Friendship, appeared before the Ford
Committee on Investigation of Immigra-
ton to-day and asked that the contract
labor law be amended so as to include
professional actors and musicians among
the classes prohibited from entering the
United States under labor contract. I'm
der exemption the Committee said a large
number of foreign actors were annually
brought to this country for the sole rea-
son that they would work cheaper than
American actors. They did not object
to the presence of stars, but to the hos!
of minor actors they brought with them
and to the cheap grade of foreign actors
whom American managers import,
solely because of their cheapness. Their
profession was already evercrowded
and they thought themselves fairly Ell
titled to protection against the wholesale
importation Of cheap foreign actors who
were under no obligation to the United
States, and left it when their engage
ment was at an end. The committee also
complained that wardrobes, stage prop
critics and scenery were all imported con
trary to law, without the payment oi
customs duties, and to the detriment oi
Americans. This was done through bal
let girls and others falsely swearing that
the wardrobes and other properties were
their personal effects.

Ing in Great Numbers.
New YORK, December 13.-A romantic
story was recently sent from Ebinburg
about the discovery of the heirs of Thos.
II. Blythe, the California millionaire.
Now comes another story which appears
to as strongly establish the rights of an
other lot of claimants. According to this
new story the rich Californian originally
came from London, where his nephews,
Thomas and James Savage, and his
cousin, Michael Savage, had been en-
gagged as chimney sweeps for thirty
years. The real name of Thomas 81 i.
Blythe is eaid to have been Thomas II.
Savage.
When lad of II he was q chimney
sweep in London, but was transported
to Australia for stealing a silver cruet
stand. There he got ticket Of leave
and assumed the name of Blythe, which
beloned to an aunt. From Australia he
went to California, where he amassed
the fortune now in litigation. Testimony
to establish these facts has been sent to
the Probate Court OF San Francisco by
the Savages in London, who in the mean
time are following the chimney sweeping
business.
There is still another feature of the
case which brings in third claimant. 1t
is said Blythe went to London in 1873
and fell in with woman named Julia
Perry. This woman became the mother
of a child named Flora, OF which she told
Blythe he was the father. When he
went back to San Francisco he acknow-
ledged Flora as his child. Even though
she be illegitimate, under the laws of
California, Flora can inherit Blythe's
millions, if she can prove he is her
father. Flora has taken steps to establish
her claims.
