riot A cheap crab apple jelly-made in
New York, but sold by the trade generally
consists of water, glucose, burned sugar,
cider vinegar, oil of vitriol and vegetable
gelatine. 1t is sold as cheap as five cents a
glass and is said TO cost less than three, the
tumbler included. OF the Turkish fig
paste, Arabian delight and jujube paste,
much of which was once and all of which
is still believed to beimported, nearly every
ounce is made in the great manufacturing
cities of the country. OF 200 brands of
chocolate, plain or confectionery, examined
officially not twenty were pure. Sugar,
starch, glucose, terra alba, barytes, brown
ochre, clay, Venetian brown and other
authorizations are added to it until in
some cases there is not more than Is per

How Mai. Panitza Died.

On arriving at the ground Panitza took
the holy communion from the priest, said
prayer and walked with firm step toward
tree, against which he was told to stand
The whole garrison of the camp-that is,
four regiments of infantry and one of ar
tiliery--were drawn up on the ground, and
Panitza, recognizing several of the officers,
saluted them as he passed. When-he
reached the tree sergeant stepped forward
to blindfold him, but he took the handker-
chief from the mans hands and adjusted it
himself, crying in loud voice as he did so.
Long live Bulgarian
Panitza was then tied around the chest
and waist to the trunk of the tree, and a
firing party Of twenty-one soldiers, com.
manded by a sub-lieutenant, took up it's
position at twenty PAGES from him. The
command was not given by word of mouth,
but Is strokes of the officers sword, and
at the third cut of the sword through the
air the squad fired. Death was instanta-
neous, and the sergeant, who marched up
to examine the body, revolver in hand,
was not required to give the usual coup de
grace. Subsequently it was found that all
the twenty-one bullets had struck.-Lon-

Even a Beggar Has Rights.

In Zurich, Switzerland, one of the law
courts has closed a novel case. A beggar who
opened the garden gate in front of house
where he intended to ask for relief was at
tackled by the watchdog and bitten in the left
arm. Soon afterward he commenced suit
against the owner of the place, calling for
heavy damages, on the ground that the wound
he had received rendered him permanently
unable to earn his living. The defense was
that he could beg just as well as ever and
that the injury in question, far from being q
disadvantage, only increased his chances in
his profession But the court held that the
proprietor of house is responsible for the
security Of the people who come to visit him,
even when the object Of the visit is to nsks
an appeal to his generosity. So the beggar
won his suit.-E1change.
