FOOD ApuL1ERArloNs.
a Subject OF the Gravest and Most Far
Reaching Importance.

a Subject OF the Gravest and Most Far.
Reaching Importance
Throughout the entire list of food
products, aside, possibly, from such
leading articles OF diet as flour and
the different varieties of animal food.
where adulteration without detection
would be practically impossible, every
article used for food has been tam
pered with, and made to yield an un-
righteous profit to some rascally firm
or company organized for fraud, and
entirely careless of the harm they do,
so that the " business" is made profit
able.
In the article of butter. by putting
the selfish interests of the producers
of the genuine article over against the
greed of the manufacturers of the
fraudulent product it has become pos
sible to secure legislation which pro-
tects the consumer from the filthy and
unwholesome refuse OF the soap facto-
~ labeled butterine" or - oleomar-
garine." In some other directions
there seems to be manifested recently
a disposition to place more severe re-
straints of law upon the greed of men
who are engaged in the adulteration of
articles of every day diet
The subject is one of the gravest and
most far-reaching Importance. His
torically considered, the scientific pois-
oning of the race through the adulter-
alton of food is comparatively new
system of villainy. In the older forms
of human civilization men were MUIR
dered by wars and carried off by con-
tagious diseases and cataclysms trace
able to natural forces; but it has been
left to civilization of the nineteenth
century to endow colleges and uni
versities and equip them to train the
young men of each succeeding genera
ton for the scientific poisoning of their
fellows, for filthy lncre.
The coming crusade against impure
food should be led by the medical fra
ternity of the country. If the two
great schools of medicine would unite
in efforts for the suppression of the
manufacture and sale of deleterous
articles of food they might accomplish
marvels for the general health. To
the unprofessional mind it would seem
that in this field no less than in that of
the proper sanitation of cities the ply
sicians of America might discover one
of the roblest provinces of active use
fulness- The work can not be accom-
plished. however, solely by learned
articles in medical journals. or schol-
arly addresses on the technicalities of
the subject before professional bodies;
but it requires popular discussion,
petitions to State legislative bodies and
the National Congress, sermons from
clergymen, and instruction in the
school-room. 1t is a good field for q
modicum of intelligent fanaticism,
large quantities of which are now CO.
ing to waste in other directions. Nib

BREAKING A VASE.
A Priceless Heirloom Whose Counterpart
Was Obtained for q Trife.

"A Priceless HEIRLOOM whose counterpart
Was Obtained for . Trifie.
Apropos of the widely prevalent
craze for antiquated bric-a-brac and
old family heirlooms that ragged in So
ciety few years ago. an eloquent lit
tie episode of serio-comic nature is
still fresh in the minds of those who
were let into the secret. Some three
or four years ago there was a young
couple living on the island who. from
the humble surroundings necessitated
by straitened circumstances, suddenly
blossomed out into full-fledged society
votaries. One evening the wife gave
a small, but what she was pleased to
call a very select, company. Her hus-
band was out of the city at the time.
and she gave her friends full swing.
Prominent among her various articles
of household bric-a-brac was tall and
stately vase of antiquated pattern.
standing nicely balanced on small
stand in one corner of the room where
the dancing was going on. In the
midst of a rollicking set of lanciers,
along toward the middle of the even
ing. frOlicsome young married man
of the city. now widOwer, proprietor
of fashionable jewelry store on Nicol-
let avenue, struck against the stand
and down went the vase and shiv-
cred into score of pieces. The
hostess saw the wreck and was
distracted. She dropped on to tho
sofa in abject despair. and. wringing
her hands with anguish. exclaimed
bitterly between her sobs: what
will the doctor say: This will break
his heart; the vase is nm heirloom that
has come down to him from his ances-
tors in England. know it will break
his heart" The unfortunate gentle
man who had caused the rumpus by
his awawardness almost got on his
knees to the sorrowing hostess and
offered at once to get her . new vase.
but it was no use; she refused to be
comforted. and soon after the COM
pany broke up and dispersed. leaving
the hostess alone with her tears. A
few days after this the author of the
catastrophe. mindful Of his resolve to
make up for his break and pacify the
lady. called in at . store to see what
he could find to compensate her for
the loss of her precious vase. There
he spied an exact sac simile of the one
he broke. Much surprised. he asked
the price. The clerk said that he could
sell him that vace for two dollars; the
mate to it hs casually remarked. hs
had sold short time previously to
Mrs. DR.. -. over On the island. The
inquirer was naturally somewhat A.
tonished at this strange revelation.
but saw out Of his scraps in splendid
shape Inasmuch - he had been inn
posed upon by his hostess he felt that
he had . RICH. to even up matters; so
he bought the vase and sent Il to hEr

From Memphis (Tenn) says the
New York Commercial Advertiser,
comes the news of one Of those ro-
mances of heroism that redeem hui
mainly.
Years and years ago in that city
a gay, free liver, one Joseph Dutton,
fell under the influence Of Il Christ
ian minister and was persuaded to
renounce the errors of his WAYS.
More than TINT, he resolved to
atone for past i'll deeds by life of
future strict pi'ty among the Trap
pist monks OF Kentucky.
Before embracing it, however, he
paid all his debts with compound
interest, and confessed to the men
and women who were his friends
that instead of being single, as they
had always supposed, he was mar
rled to a woman he had iondly
loved, thinking her pure and good,
but had left on finding her an ad-
ventures; how he got a divorce, but
sought out the poor creature in her
shame and never rested until he
won her promise to turn away from
it and live peaceably in a place he
provided for her
Then the monastery's doors shut
upon him for years, till there came
a call for a volunteer to fill the place
of the man who had died at his post
among the lepers of the Sandwich
Island, and Joseph Dutton answered
it, and went calmly to slow but GER
tain death. For two years he has
faced and escaped it; but the end
will come after a while. In the
meantime he stays there, binding
up the sores Of poor sick creatures,
and now and then writing cheerily
to old friends in the Tennessee city.

LIFE at best is short. Every day
that man goes forth may be his last.
The swift messenger, Death, may
trip him, and his days are ended.
To die naturally is sad, but to be
killed, cut off almost without mo-
ment Of warning, is something too
terrible to contemplate. Men place
themselves in danger unawares, and
death follows. Each being has an
allotted time, and when life is ended
that time has expired. The Hand
that formed the universe and gov
erns nature marks out the destinies
of men. His will must be submit
ted. His ways are irrevokable, and
we must bow and yield. 1t is best,
therefore, to he prepared.
