THE EARL OF FIFE,
TO MARRY THE PRINCESS LOUISE,
ELDEST DAUGHTER OF THE
PRINCE OF WALES.

The Earl of Fife, whom it is the
fashion to call "Madcuff,n will marry
the Princess Louise, granddaughter
of Queen Victoria, on the - of July.
He has an ancient lineage. Ten years
ago, when he was about twenty-nine
years old, he succeeded to the Earl
dom. In 1855 he was created an Earl
of the Unified Kingdom. He was for
some time captain of the corps of gen.
tlemen-at-arms, and in 1882 he went
on a special mission to the king of
SaXOny. In 1875 he visited New
York, giving the city great attention
and delighting every body he met
with his manly characteristics.
When the Earl sat in the house OF
Lords as NiscOunt Madcuff, he was a
supporter of Mr.. Gladstone. who had
not then allied himself with Mr.. Par
nell. Lord Fife is now q UnionIst,
and as such in 1886 addressed great
meeting at her Majesty's Theatre,
London. He was ohspicuous figure
in the me 4tings of the Social Science
Congress held at Aberdeen a few
years ago. His country seat is Old
Mar Lodge, few miles from Queen
Victoria's place at Balmoral. Anoth-
er of his estates is in Morayshire, but
that he let's to tenant. OF course he
has London residence. In Loudon
he is busy Banker; in Scotland the
lord of great estates and the sports
man. His rent role is said to be from
three hundred thousand to four hun
dred thousand dollars a year. He
has an income from personal prop
erty, chiefly from the banking bust
mesa, in which he invested two million
dollars ten years ago. The earl is a
fine-looking fellow. He has blue
eyes and brown hair; his eyes are
kindly, his face and features strong
and intelligent; his manner perhaps
little shy, but sympathetic. The
earl is of good stature, broad Shout
dered, powerfully built and athletic.
He will be a royal-looking bride
groom.

THE City of Mexico IS agitating the
temperance question and finds mat
tiers mixed. Some advocate holding
the sellers of pulque responsible for
the disorders committed under the
influence OF the spirit sold by them,
but the practical majority deem this
impossible and a feeling in favor of
high license and police regulation is
developing. The objection to this
remedy arises from the fear of de-
creased sales, every gallon coming
into the city paying so much revenue.
All the same the high license move
ment grows and in time will be &C
cepted as the sole solution of the evil
complained of.

AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
TUESDAY JULY, 20 1889,
WHAT ARE WE EATING e?

The Pennsylvania board of health,
in its late meeting at Pittsburg, took
a considerable interest in the subject
of food and medicine authorizations
and devoted much time to their dis
cussion. The conclusions of the board
seem to be that the European adulter-
ations are most to be dreaded, as the
stringent regulations and penalties
prescribed for authorizations of food
for home consumption do not apply to
adulterations of food for export. Par
tcularly is this true of France, the
wine expectations Of that country
being without any safeguard under
French laws and food expectations
being equally unprotected. Among
the most dangerous compounds the
board of health denominated what
they term "sick cheese a doctored
article which is quite poisonous. This
is not the article manufactured from
cotton seed oil, about which so much
fuss was made in England recently.
Cotton seed oil cheese is not I'M
healthy, it is only not real cheese
and consequently a cheat when sold
tor the genuine article. Prof. Vaughn
of Ann ArbOr university says that
any cheese that reddens blue litmus
paper instantly and intensely should
not be eaten. The board of health
also denounced the groceries as are
usually sffered for sale in connection
with prizes and cautioned the public
to beware of them. Some very per-
tinent statistics of authorizations were
presented showing adulterationsto be
general in the most common articles
of food, and to range from two per
cent up to siXty-eight. OF ten speci-
mems of ground mustard submitted
none were pure; of twenty samples of
cloves only two were pure: of cayenne
pepper one out of eight was unadul-
terated. The rule rather than the
exception was stated to be-ground
coffee is adulterated 45 per cent:
spices, So per cent; teas, IS per cent;
syrup, 80 per cent; cream tartar and
baking powders, II per cent; low
grade sugars, 20 per cent; bread per

outlook for those who purchase
foods in this country, particularly as
the practice appears to be on the in
crease and the authorizations are more
recklessly made as the years go by.
1t may be that the Pennsylvania
board of health had hit upon bad
lot of samples, but it is undenia BILE
that food adulterations in teas, coffees,
sirups and spices is carried to an i'm
moderate extent, and that only the
most stringent general and local leg
islatiOn, followed and enforced by
severe penalties can root out the
growing evil. Add TO this danger

stale meats, aud poultry, game and
