How Lard is Adulterated.

John P Squire, in giving history of the increase in the adulteration of lard. said that the business began in very small way about eight years ago
 At that time the price of tallow was
 nearly as high as the price of lard, and there was no profit Tn adulteratiOn, but since that time the price of tallow
 has steadily declined and adulteration
 of lard has been consequently increas-
 ing. Mutton and beef tallow and cot
 ten-seed oil are used for the purpose
 The ruling price for the ,allow is 4
 cents pound and for the oil 49. The
 oil is used to bring the adulterated mixture up to the consistency of hon.
 ess lard The net cost for making the
 mixture is 4 cents pound or deliver
 e,t III Dus,ou cents. The mess pork
 corner of last winter advanced the
 plice oi hogs, and it is fact that man.
 uiacturers of pure lard have been los
 ing 50 a fierce on the actual cost of
 material, for while hogs were higher
 the greases remained at the old prices,
 and the manufacturers oi the adul;e-
 rated mixtures flooded the country
 with their product and cheapened the
 price of lard everywhere. Some of
 this mixture Is branded t'retined lard"
 and while good cotton-seed oil may
 not be injurious, 1t has to be bleached with sulphuric acid for this purpose,
 and the same is true of the tallow.
 IL any of the acid remains in the mix
 ture It must be dangerous, but wheth-
 CT 1t does or not the compound is a
 swindle. The manufacturers of it,
 and there is only one prominent re-
 finer in the country who does not
 make 1t, put better quality in the
 p ills than in the tierces. It is for the
 Interest of the packers to prevent
 adulteration, and the next meeting of
 congress will see them united in ask ing that something be done about it. The effort to have law enacted in
 this state began with the packers, and they ask that the obnoxious compound , be made to carry the label '.adulterat. ed," as oleomargarine is labeled. As
 an example of the profit to refners who make this mixture, let 1t be sup posed that tierce contains 300 lbs dho Ihde 1oO tOuHuc Oi IG IS pure idTu Of the other 15O pounds seventy-fvt } are of cotton seed and seventy-tive O beef fat. Reckoning the price of pure lard at cents and the adulteratet at cents it is seen that on 150 lbs I the refiners start out with clear prof
 of $4.50 over the man who puts up 30( ? pounds of honest lard. The cotton g seed oil comes from the southern , states and the supply of it is controll l ed by corporation that has monop I 'oly. This corporation pays cash t' . the planters for the oil, and in tha l. way gets 1t so cheap, that were tn
 planters to stop and think momen; f they would see that 1t Is better 10 , them tn keep the seed for fcrtitizin I purposes s.-BostOn Globe.

Mrestlins With 2 Bear.

A couple of hunters from the Catskills followed a bear trail for three days. Near Shutdown, charming little nook, entirely shut in by great mountain peaks, the hunters came suddenly upon they prey. There was an old bear and three good sized cubs They all ran for their lives at sight of the hunters, but Levi Small rushed headlong in pursuit of one of the cubs that had made a sense less detour, and, slipping on bit of treacherous ice, he went tobogganing down the side of the mountain. The cub was tripped up by one of Small's cow hide boots, and the shaggy youngster took a funny tumble along with the hunter. Seeing her offspring in danger, the old bear rushed to the scene. but the companion of Small fired shot with such good effect that Bruin fell in her tracks. Another ball finished the game, and then attention was directed to the impromptu tobogganer. who was having a rough and tumble fight with the cub It was quickly dispatched and the other cubs were taken alive. - Philadelphia Times

Beet-SUs r IHd4stfy.

The simple and inexpensive methods adopted in the German factories have made the beet-sugar manufacture one of the most profitable of industries, and the work goes on day and night, at a prime cost of conversion of $2 per ton of beets, or l cent per pound or sugar, not estimating the cost of the beet root, but including labor and all materials used, like coal, coke, lime, charcoal, wear and tear, and interest on the invested capital. The monthly disbursements of such an establish ment exceed $60,O00 anu give employ ment to thousands of wage earners in . cssss sse@-o4--es-4.teral industries. One sugar corpofation Ill France reported d net profit derived from the manufac- ture of .beet-sugar few years ago of 2,O00, ,00o, and the season did not ex tend beyond l20 days Under these sugar in continental Europe has doubled in the last decade; anl, after the home populations are supplied the surplus Is exported to Great Britain reducing the price of sugar in the mar kets of the world more than 50 per cent.
 The sugar refineries of this country use the beet and sugarcane sugar in discriminatory in the manufacture of | the block sugar of commerce, and the family grocer sells the imported refin- ed beet sugar at a price from D to 50 per cent above the price of the cane sugar.
 Before our late war Louisiana pro- duced more sugar than Germany, and although the beet-sugar in lustry in the latter country was greatly stimu- lated by the high prices of sugar pro I vailing, incident to the entire destrut ton of the cane-sugar industry of tie
 United States, yet as late as 1875 the empire produced only 2,500 tons, while for the year 1888 production of 1900, 0)0 tons of sugar and saccharine re
 sultants is recorded.-A. H. Amy, il

TIE old question of the exercise of corporal punishment in schools as a means of discipline is being agitated by the pedagogues of Arizona and,
 incidentally by the press. Good argu- ment has been advanced on both sides but a rational conclusion seems as far off as ever. There is no question of the usefulness of the rod in the hands of calm, dispassionate and just teacher possessing the rare power of reading human character and the ability to adjust his methods of discipline to each individual pcculiarity; but un- fortunately these qualifications are not always found among teachers and therefore a wholesome discretion has so frequently been abused that the ex- pertinent of it's entire denial has been found expe,lient. Any one acquaint ed with the cosmopolitan character of our public schools can readily re- cognize the fact that no rigid set of inn peratiye rules can prove effective in maintaining discipline without mani fest injury to the proper development The rod that possesses no terrors for one child is dagger in the heart of another, and very often a kind reprov- al of an involuntary offense is emi- nently effective where any degree of corporal punishment is of no avail. Even the juvenile mind possesses the elements of a reasoning power, and proper appeal thereto seldom fails to awaken a remorseful sting of budd- ing conscience for errors committed
 or course there are exceptional cases of natural depravity that require a l special course of treatment, but if the parents and guardians would cooper ate with the teachers and apply the proper corrective at home for all willful misdemeanors at school, il would go long way towards solving the question at issue. We do not be lieve in the principle of inficting pain and suffering upon children excepting for the most inexcusable and malicious ofienses, and we are prone to believe that many dark path in life has been entered upon in the school room or in the unhappy home where abso lute cruelty has been meted out in the name of justice. Lay the rod aside and try the power of reason for awhil, and permit the little ones to indulge in the conceit that they are part o the human race, with ambitions, feel ing and hopes beyond those of mer, brutes, and they will not disappoint the expectations of their friends.

OUR SANITARY LAWS.
It Is Not That We Are Without Them,
 But They Are Not Enforced.

It IS Not That We Are Without Thens
 But They Are Not Enforced.
 As population increases in density the need for the enactment, supervision and enforcement of laws pertaining to com municable diseases increases. The gen. eral sanitary condition of the United States. in respect to density of population, is very different to-day from what it was one hundred or even fifty years ago. A single city with it's surroundings now contains nearly as many souls as did the whole United States a century back.
 Far greater alertness on the part of legislatures. city governments, courts and officials is consequently now required than was ever required before, and. 60 far as appears. the need will continue to grow with our advance in settlement. Our average national death rate has so far been comparatively low, but many of the large cities of England, notably Lon don. Liverpool and Manchester. surPass us in their management of sanitary mat ters. and, if the immunity is to continue, we must take additional steps to secure it. The trouble is not so much that we do not possess sufficient number of laws as that we are lax in enforcing those we have. It appears for example that the yellow fever. the outbreak of which has i been so disastrous in Florida, was intro duced there from Cuba through the agency of smuggled goods; and yet there exists law against smuggling. If 1t had been effectually enforced, there would have been no epidemic. The in- tention of this law. it is true, Is not san- itary. But when we find statutes the l object of which is to secure money al lowed to fall into abeyance. we may be, priori. sure the enforcement of the san itary laws will be so much the more neg lecteI.
 It must be the aim of the city state and national legislators that communi ties obtain the laws they require for ths prevention, restriction and abolition oi disease, wholly uninfiuenced by political partisan or mercenary considerations The control Of legislation by corporations monopolies and money kings should cease And in the enforcement of eani tary statutes. greater impartiality is de manded. The man of wealth and inf1u ence should be, indeed. in all respects equal to the eye of the law" with tn poorest. and it should be put beyond tn power of any of those financial dictator with whom our age and country hav
 been afflicted to push their graspsnl schemes, as they so often do at present to the detriment of the lives or healtl of their fellow men-Boston Herald.

TIE Missouri sheriff who superin- tended the recent strangling of three Bald Knobbers at Ozark, ought to be given little taste of his inhumanity. The ropes were too long and the knots so insecure that one of the victims was required to twice pass through the ter rible ordeal, and all of them were sim ply strangled to death because the drop was not sufficient to dislocate their necks.

IN the distribution of the govern ment appropriation of $400,000 to the National Guard of the several states and territories, Arizona receives no share. New Mexico gets $3501 and the other territories receive various sums, ranging from $2S47 to twice that amount. Even far away Alaska gets $350l. There is no good reason why the militia of Arizona should not be thoroughly reorganized and be made to form a part of the National Guard and participate in the favors oi the general government. The effort is worthy the attention of Adjutant General O'Neill.

TIE robbery of Paymaster Wham at Cedar Springs by gang of high waymen, is one of those unfortunate circumstances liable to occur in any country where large sum of money can tempt human cupidity, and it will be freely used by the eastern press to demonstrate state of frontier law lessness that has no equal on the con tinent. In common with all good cit izens we greatly deplore the perpetra- tion of such a great crime, and partic- ularly so because of the loss of life at tending it. Just such crimes have been committed in other portions of our country and we do not hesitate to express our belief that not Q single citizen of Arizona was connected with its perpetratiOn. Some of them were undoubtedly familiar with the topo- graphy of that portion of the country and were cognizant of the movements of the paymaster, but we believe time will demonstrate the fact that none oi them are other than adventurers of nc settled place of abode-the outcasts oI eastern cities in hiding from pursuit and plying their nefarious vocation whenever a favorable opportunity pre- senis itself. They probably rob bank in one state; hold up railroad train in another; stop a stage coach anC commit any and all sorts of crimes when opportunity is presented witl tle most exact inpartiality as to geo graphical locality. They are birds o prey and if the are not caught in tn, stern chase that is now in progress they will Ait away and be lost to pub lic view for time, only to reappea unexpectedly in other portions of tn country to pluck whomsoever the, find with money in his possession.

JUDGE PORTER reached his decision in the Smith-Foster treasury case, last Wednesday, and awarded the office to Mir. Smith upon the ground that its tenure is not fixed by law The Judge likewise decided that the legislative session legally ended upon March 21st, and all measures passed after that date are void. Under this decision the appointments made by Governor Zulick, which the council neither confirmed nor rejected prior to March 21st, will be entitled to re- tain their positions, to the exclusion of Gov. Wolhey's appointees. The appropriation bill is among the acts that aie declared void and Judge Por- ter's decision has the effect of de priving himself of its liberal appro- priation of twelve hundred dollars per year which was adroitly placed there in at the last moment with the evi- dent design of securing a favorable interpretation of the law in the ques- tions that were plainly foreshadowed to arise. His action in sacrificing his personal interests to the principles in. volved in the question at issue is in. deed creditable to his high sense ot honor and official integrity, and what ever disappointments his ruling may produce no one can for single mo. ment question it's honesty or impugr its motives.
