The Trade I'm Adnlterntions.

OF all the dishonest trades, the most
interesting is that which supplies the ma
terials used in adulterating or initiating
legitimate articles of commerce. l
dropped into one not far from Chatham
Square, and was astonished to see the
ingenuity and scientific skill displayed,
as well as the large amount of business
done. 1t destroyed many romances to
have the proprietor pour upon piece of
tissue paper few drops of "Havana Ex-
tract" and produce cigarette worthy of
Honradez, or mixed raw spirits, burnt
sugar and oil of otard and have very
palatable brandy.
l asked the proprietor who were his
chief customers. He said;
GAN and every sort of people. Candy
makers are large buyers. They want
imitation flavors for their cheap, so-called
French confectionery. Cigarmakers use
immense quantities of Havana Extract
while tobacconists that article and Turk
lsh oil. Liquor dealers-both wholesale
and retail-are the heaviest purchasers,
using vast quantities of preparations to
age, blend and improve their goods.
Spice meR who grind cocoanut shells
into black pepper and cigar boxes into
cinnamon, consume the extracts of these
genuine articles or else limitations of them.
OF course we ask no questions, and
generally we want cash down or else sell

Carl Hess, the German naturalist, has
proved by minute mfefoscopical investi-
CATION that the eye of the mole is per-
fectly capable of seeing, and that it is
not short-sighted, as another naturalist
would have us believe. Hess maintains
that, in spite of Its minute dimensions
1 millimeter by 90 millimeter--the eye
of this little creature possesses all the
necessary properties for seeing that the
most highly developed eyes does, that it
is, indeed, as well suited for seeing as
the eyes of any other mammal, and that
in the matter of refraction it does not
differ from the normal eye. In order to
bear out the theory of short-sightedness,
the physiological reason was adduced
that in its subterranean runs the mole is
accustomed to see things at close dis
tances, and that its eye had become
gradually suited to near objects. But to
this Hess objects that the mole when
under ground most probably makes no
use of his eyes at all, as it would be inn
possible to see anything, owing to the
absence of light, but that when he comes
to the surface, and especially when he
is swimming, he does use his eyes. In
order to accomplish this, he only has to
alter the erect position of the hairs which
surround and cover his eyes, and which
prevent the entry of dirt when he is under
ground, and at the same time to protrude
his eyes forward. .-Ndture.

A MEMORY.

My heart is far away tonight
Beyond the blue of the southern seas,
Where the world lies wrapped in mystic
light,
And the red rose sighs in the hush OF night
To her ardent lover, the breeze.
Where the pale acacia trembles and show
ers
Its petals Of perfumed snow on the stream
That hurries over its rock-bound bed;
Where the jasmine lifts its golden head
And the poppies nod and dream.
Where the purple fox-glove hides the bee
That drowsily, heavily drones and huns;
Where the silvery waves break on the sand,
And the sea nymphs dance on the coral
strand
When the hour of midnight comes.
And see his face--and hear his voice;
Ny prince, with the shining, soul-lit eyes;
And feel his arms about me twine,
And the warmth of his perfect lips on mine
Meath the dusk of the southern skies.
And oh, am sad and lone Tonight,
And my heart is full of lingering pain,
And list where the lilies breathe and move.
For the tender, passionate whisper of love
shall never hear again.

ONLY A PAuPER

Only the face of pauper:
Eagerly pressing the window pane;
Needless alike Of the snow and the rain;
Watching the rich sit down 70 dine,
To their smoking meat and sparkling wine,
Hungrily cycling the tempting fare,
With look that bcspcals the hearts de
spair;
Then turned again TO the dismal street.
To the piercing wind and the singing sleet-
Only the face Of pauper.
Only the hands Of pauper:
Tremblingly clutching the tattered shawl;
Bloodless and numb are the fingers small.
Once they were rosy and plump and fair,
A babys fingers, untouched by care;
Little more than an infants now
Are the slim hands pressed to the throbbing
brow,
AS with feeble steps she totters on,
To be jostled and pushed by the beartless
throng-
Only the hands of pauper.
Only the feet of pauper:
Bleeding and bruised by the icy stone,
Shoes and stockings are all unknown,
Senseless now to the freezing air,
As she hurries on, she knows not where;
On through the streets unshod they roam,
Sheltered no more by the warmth of home;
While the fierce wind roars, and the storm
beats wild
On the ill-clad form Of the shrinking child
Only the feet Of a pauper
Only the cry of pauper:
Wrung from the lips by the hearts deep
woe,
As the frail form sinks in the drifting snow.
Drowned at once by the shrieking gale,
All unheard is that feeble wall.
Yet He who rules from His throne on high,
Who heareth even the ravens cry,
Think ye not He hath caught the note
That rose from the dying wanderers
throat
Only the cry of pauper.
Only the soul of pauper:
Freed at last from its earthly thrall,
Rising up at its Makers call,
Leaving forever the want and woe,
The pain ana tache it knew below,
Borne aloft - blissful shore,
Where cold and hunger shall pinch no more;
Through the white gates of the city Of love,
Into the presence of God above,
Floateth the soul of pauper.

wAsTEFUL ECONOMY IN THE KITCHEN.
"Many a young wife," said a motherly
woman the other day, "would find the
wheels of her household moving much
more smoothly if she would spend little
less money on the furnishing of her
drawing-room and devote it, instead, to
supplying her kitchen with labor-saving
appliances and plenty of utensils. Econ
omy in kitchen utensils may easily be
pushed too far, and if there is another
place where woman may be more read
ily excused than another for extravaganza
it is just there.
"To have to stop in the middle OF
making dessert in order to clean
saucepan or kettle in which the soup
had been prepared, because you have not
another, is folly when soup kettles can
be had for twenty-five cents each. To
have your kitchen knives of such poor
metal that they will not stay sharp, or to
let a good knife remain dull because you
think you cannot afford to spend ten
cents to have it sharpened, is real waste
of strength out of all proportion to the
saving. To have nothing by which you
can measure your ingredients accurately,
because it costs more to buy a set of
weights or graduated glass measure
than to trust to guess-work and an old
tea cup, has spoiled many II good dish
that cost Just as much and has brought
humiliation on many good cook. To
scrape your porridge pot with spoon
because you will not buy patent pot
scraper for twelve cents wears out ten
spoons to one pot-scraper, and the hired
girl invariably selects your best spoon for
that purpose. Siftlng the coal ashes is
such dirty business as it is usually per-
formed and the servant kicks against it
so vigorously that the most economical
housekeeper soon abandons it in despair.
A patent ash-sifter that allows no dust to
escape and preserves all the half burned
coal will pay for itself in one winter and
last five. A cheap refrigerator can be
had for one third the cost of good one
of the same size, but if you buy it your
ice-bill will be twice as large.
"There is hardly anything in the
kitchen of which there are not two varie-
ties, the cheap and the dear, and the re-
suit of the use of either is generally its
exact opposite in actual cash. But in
comfort to ones self and to ones husband
and children, saving of time, temper,
brain-worry, and back-ache, they repay
their own cost many times over every
week. ."-Ne,o York Tribune.

They MysteriOusIy Died.

Three or four years ago young Adam
Forepaugh, the son of the late Snowman,
was over in London. He had spent
about $40, 200, and didn't dare ask for
any more money so he wired over to his
father that he had great chance to get
some new attractions for the show. He
said that he could get two monkeys that
were larger than horses for $4,000. The
Snowman congratulated himself on
having such smart boy, and cabled him
the money. He was telling every one
about his new attractions, and if any one
doubted the reality of the alleged big
monkeys he would answer anRrily.
'Pshaw What do you know about the
interior of Africal OF course they have
monks there as big as horses. Next
day came a oablegram saying: 'Aioney
received monks dead; much Obliged.
pap" The old Snowman never could
stand joke about monkeys after that.-

A Remedy for Burns.

The celebrated German remedy for
burns consists of fifteen ounces of the
best white glue, broken into small pieces,
in two pints of water, and allowed to
become soft; then dissolve it by means
of a water bath and add two ounces of
glycerine and six drains of carbolic acid I;
continue the heat until thoroughly dis
solved. On cooling this hardens to an
elastic mass, covered with a shining,
parchment-like skin, aad may be kept
for any length of time. When required
for use it is placed for few minutes in
a water bath until sufficiently liquid and
applied by means of broad brush; il
forms in about two minutes shining,
smooth, flexible and nearly transparent
skin,

The white population of the Congo, in
West Africa, is increasing at quite a
rapid rate. Five years ago, after Stanley
had founded his statiors, there were only
about 200 white men engaged in the
various enterprises along the river. The
number has now increased to nearly 500,
some of whom have lived on the river
nine or ten years. The gratifying thing
about it is that fair average of health is
maintained among these colonists. The
fact would attract worldwide attention
if these pioneers were having the sx-
perience which, it is said, was formerly
the fate Of the Governors-of Sierra Leone,

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
MARKING CLOTHES.

Il is of essential importance that
clothes should be marked and numbered.
This is often done with ink; but as some
persons like to mark with silk, we shall
describe the stitch. Two threads are to
be taken each way of the cloth, and the
needle must be passed three ways in or
der that the stitch may be complete. The
first is aslant from the person toward the
right hand the second is downward to-
ward you, and the third is the reverse of
the first-that is, aslant from you toward
the left hand. The needle is to be
brought out at the corner of the stitch
nearest to that you are about to make.
The shapes of the letters or figures can be
learned from an inspection of any COM
mon examples. - Observer.

Statement to the Public.

Under The head of IAN Apology" yester-

Now we desire to give plain statement OF
the facts The Bee proprietors have long since
announced their antaconism TO trades unions;
that is organized labor, and have. on more
than one occasion, boosted tina they would, on
the first favorable opportunity. commit some act

its rules and regulations. Mr. McCiatchy then
advertised in San Francisco and various country
papers for non-union hands. and commenced to
make preparations. as he sale, 'in time OF peace

On Friday afternoon, October 10Th, Mr.. Nc

office and discharged him. No complaint had
been made against Mr. McMnlan's workman

Now this is refreshing. Here we have
leading Democratic paper, the Nashville
american, true to the instinct of obstruc-
ton in its party, exclaiming against the
anti-lottery law and saying:
So far as the United States Government is
concerned the Louisiana lottery stands pre-
cisely on the same footing with any other COM
pany, firm or business. If the United states
Government may deny citizen engaged in a
lawful Business the use Of the mails because
the United States Government doesn't fancy the
business he is engaged in, then we may well be
in awe of the tremendous power for tyranny
and oppression which may be exercised through
the Postoffice Department.
That is the keynote of the defense the
lottery people will make in the Courts.
But it will be noted that the Nashville
paper speaks of the Government interior
ing with "lawful" business. The fact is
that the lottery is an unlawful concern,
according to the Federal decree and the
statutes of every State in the Union ex-
cept three. Suppose State should license
houses of prostitution, as an American city
did few years ago, would our contempor-
airy insist that such houses would have a
constitutional right to use the United
States mails for carriage of the circular
advertisements of the "business" The
exercise of judgment on the part of Off
cials of the Postal Department as to what
is and what is not matter falling within
the prohibitive clauses in the postal regu-
lations, has not endangered, but conserved
the liberties and blessings of the people,
and is guard to human rights, rather
than an assault upon them.
