EXAMINE YOUR COFFEE.

| Chicago Dealers Are Selling Coffee" That
Is 20 Per Cent. Clay.
| Certain of the largest retail grocers of
the city have been selling coffee at con-
siderably less than wholesale prices, and
the retail trade in the cheaper grades of
coffees has been we'll nigh demoralized
because of the fact. That any of the
leading merchants of Chicago could be
imposed upon by coffee of a fraudulent
character never occurred to any one, yet
some of these dealers have been hand
ling ''coffee" of which 90 per cent. is
bogus.
1t came to the notice of The DasSy
News that coffee was being sold by Ger
tain dealers at the rate of five pounds for
81, while the wholesale price of the low
est grades of coffee ranges from 22g cents
to 22B cents a pound. AS it is an every
day occurrence for Chicago merchants to
sell at about cost some item in the gen.
eral line of goods, the cheap coffee failed
for time to attract attention. Other
retailers could not buy coffee at such
prices that they could compete with the
concerns selling the cheap coffee, and
they were losing trade Curiosity was
excited, and the result was that sample
purchases, now in the office of The Daily
News, were made. In each instance the
coffee was closely examined. Soon the
cheapness of the coffee was explained.
Mixed in with the inferior coffee is an
admirable imitation in appearance of the
genuine coffee. The shape is not always
good, but the texture, size and color are
perfect limitations. When ground in a
mill it appears exactly the same as ground
coffee, and when mixed with real coffee
it is impossible to detect the bogus article
AS every coffee dealer grinds free the
coffee bought of him it made the swindle
still more difficult of detestion. The clay
coffee is absolutely tasteless.
One sample of two and half pounds
bought on State street for fifty cents
contained so per cent. real coffee and 20
per cent. imitation A sample of the
same size and price bought on Wabash
avenue contains from 10 to 12 per cent.
of the bogus coffee.
The purchaser of this cheap coffee on
State street was paying 81 for four
pounds of coffee and one pound of clay.
AS the four pounds of coffee cost no
more that S93 cents there was a margin
of 103 cents for the one pound of clay.
As II cents should pay for the clay, the
dealer could sell five pounds of coffee"
for 81 and make 10 per cent. profit in
addition to the advertising such cheap
price would bring him.
The bogus coffee may be best detected
by laying sample out upon table so
it is only one berry deep. The mud
coffee may then be plainly seen and
separated from the real.
Just how much of the stuff has been
emptied into this market is unknown.
Where it is manufactured is not known
positively, but recent trade circulars re-
port that it being manufactured at
Philadelphia and at Newark.
As poor classes are generally the pur-
chasers of the cheapest grades of coffee,
those who can least afford it are the
greatest sufferers from the swindle, but
readers of The Daily News at least need
be no further imposed upon by clay cof-
fee.-Chicago News.

The growth of the penny provident
fund of the Charity Organization society
is remarkable. Its deposits are received
in the shape of stamps, which the depos-
itor purchases at one of the stations OF
the fund and afiixes to cards provided
for the purpose, Although it has been
in operation but two winters it has sixty
one stations scattered over the city,
where its stamps are sold and redeemed
On March /, 1890, it had 1874 de-
positors, with deposits amounting to S6,-

Hewitt, Charles G. Beaman and Il. w.
De Forest are among the trustees of the
fund, Many of the depositors are from
families that have heretofore been appli-
cants for charity, and now find that with
care and prudence they can become
capitalists in a small way. More than
four hundred and seventy "savers" from
one station have become regular deposit
ors in one of the savings banks of this
city. This is one of the means employed
by the Charity Organization society to
stop the flow of useless almsgiving.-

HANDLING A RAT.

The Fat Gentleman Knew All About 1t and
Acted Accordingly.
A boy employed in Sixth avenue gro
Gerry store appeared ON the curb the other
morning with a rat trap in his hand, and
within the trap was a gray headed rodent
of good size, who evidently realized that
q crisis in his life was close at hand.
Twenty pedestrians had their attention
arrested at once, and three dogs came
running up and began barking and leap
ing around, anxious for the moment when
the prisoner should be turned loose.
''Get out in the streetr' shouted voice.
"Give that rat a shown added a second.
"Hold on till 1 git my dogT piped a
| '.fSay, bub,'' remarked a fat man with
a cane, as he pushed his way into the
crowd, "have you had much experience
with rats? There's only one way of hand
| ling 'em rightly. Let me take the trap"
The boy surrendered it with very bad
grace, and the fat man handed his cane
to some one and held the trap high over
the street, There were six or seven dogs
when the spring door was opened and
the rat didn't like the looks Of things.
He ran down to the door, made spring
and twist, and for about two seconds
was seen on top of the trap. Then he
jumped to the fat mans right shoulder.
AS he did so there was yell and fall
ing back of the crowd; the dogs rushed
forward, and next instant dogs, fat man
and rat were all in a heap in the gutter.
One dog got the rat and the others began
free fight, and as they circled away
from the spot the fat man got up, hold
| ing ruined silk hat in his hand. He was
in hurry to go, but before he could
leave boy counted four dog bites on
his legs and recommended nitric acid and
a hot poker.
My cane2" queried the fat man, as he
looked about, but cane and holder had
gone.
Rats shouted three or four of the
crowd, followed by a general laugh.
''Rats-yes-um!' responded the fat
man. There's only one way to handle
rats. Sorry l can't be with you always,
but-yes-um!'
And he broke loose and steamed away
down the avenue.-New York Sun.

A SISTERS LOVE.

A sisters lovei a love that knows
No earthly stain, no selfish part,
A love pure as the love that giows
In heaven within an angels heart:
For you in early morning light,
For you in silence of the night,
Its prayers go up to heaven above
This is sisters love-
A love that if you faint and fall
Beneath the burden of your crosl
Will share your griefs and sorrows all,
And help you to retrieve the loss;
A love all patient to endure,
A love forever strong and sure,
Yet meek and gentle as dove
This is a sisters love.
A love that as the years go by,
And age and day of pain draw near.
Still like a star that shines ON high
Will shine upon you pure and clear:
love no absence can estrange,
A love no time can chill or change.
