Poisonous Peas.

The Massachusetts Board of Health recent
ly had analyses made of number of samples
of French peas, and all were discovered to
be colored with sulphate of copper. This
pigment it is claimed by the Board is injur-
ious to health, and the sale of goods colored
with it has been forbidden. Dealers in French
vegetables have been warned to discontinue
the sale of all goods containing the objection
able ingredient, upon penalty of prosecution
according to the State law. The trade have
received the intimation with indignation and,
in some cases, derision, claiming that the
small quantity of sulphate of copper contain
ed in French vegetables is not injurious to
health, and point to the large sale of such
goods, and the absence of any ill effects trace
able to their consumption, as proofs Of their
wholesomeness. The dealers are in a cleft
stick as it were. If the goods are uncolored
, the people will not buy them, as they have
become used TO the bright green tint produc-
ed by the sulphate and will take no others.
Thus the dealers stand to Jose the money in
vested in the goods, or run the risk of i'm
prisonment or fine if they continue selling
them. To the best of our recollection, most
of the laws prohibiting the use of poisonous
substances as coloring matter for food prod
ucts are and have long been dead letter, so
far as the use of infinitesimal quantities OF
sulphate of copper is concerned. Once in 3
great while some jealous health official deems
it his duty to attempt to enforce the law
against colored French vegetables, but it
| generally ends in a fizzle, as will most likely
terminate the action of the Massachusetts
Board of Health just noted.

How People Disguise Themselves

Most ofus hide behind DISCUSSES.
Some do it innocently, from shyness. They
shrink from standing in naked personality
before the world. So they cloak themselves
in mannerisms. Usually there are lonely souls
which brood over themselves. Thus in isol-
ated farm-houses, whittier the poets send us
for the simplicities of nature, one is likely to
find more affectations and tricks of manner
than in our city dwellings.
The affectation of quality, of an accom-
plishment, is covert roguery. The overt
rogue picks your pocket in his game of hide
and-seek with society. But the man who
would win your esteem, admiration, affection,
confidence, by'appearing to be what he is not,
is rogue so subtle that he often ends in de.
ceiving himself.
There is the sweet infantile creature who
shippers and writhes, and drops her chin to
look up from nnder her lashes, and uses all
manner of guile to show you how guileless
she is. There is the strong minded woman
who talks in chest tones, is always positive,
and holds advanced opinions on all points
borrowed opinions, since the strength of her
mind is not In the direction of originating
any. There are the ignorant people who af
feet culture.
This sort of dishonesty gulls only the dull
ard. Such Alterations are open advertise
ments of poverty, since no one affects what
he possesses.

espied little plant growing by the waters

human liver. Ifyou should look at 1t under

could hardly tell it from mans liver, with
its little veins and all, quite correct. Now

A Defunct Profession.

An elderly man, rather shabby as to attire
and real red as to nose, somewhat watery as
to eyes and berry as TO breath, stood near the
Tombs the other day, and lifting up his voice
bemoaned his lot.
Business" he said, in mournful accents,
lis gone to the dogs. The city is gone TO the
dogs, the courts is gone to the dogs and the
judges is gone to the dogs. Everything is
goin' to the dogs.
Having thus settled the ultimate canine
tendency of everything, the elderly one re-
lapsed into silence, but only for moment.
When he spoke again it was with an air of
bitterness.
"Nice judges they're maxim nowaday," he
said "reg'ler pretty judges, that's what they
are.
"Why, l had case on hand to-day. First
| one I had for weeks. Friend of mine got
pulled in. Detective said he stole watch.
My friend said he didn't. Who was to be-
lieve? Friend, of course. Friend sent for
me to go to court an swear to his character.
l went. When my friend was arraigned
went up TO testify.
"'What do you want?" says the judge.

laughs.
"Then the judge went on to say that he
guessed that sort of thing was played out, an
so was done out of three dollars was to
get for testifying. tell you things is goin'
to the dogs"
Then he drifted away in the direction of a
wet goods establishment near by.
Upon inquiry it was found that in sort of
way the ancient pesslmist spoke truly &C
cording to his lights He was in former
years one of class all too numerous about
police courts. He was professional witness
as to good character in the case of prisoners
who had to prove the existence of such in
connection with themselves.
incidentally, too, his class found bondsmen
now and then for persons charged with var
ious offenses, or they acted as go-betweens in
other matters of similar character. They
fattened on prisoners brought into the small
er courts in more ways than can be readily
described.
The witness TO character had always to
maintain an air of outward responsibility.
He was dignifed and pompous in manner.
And he was usually gifted with lively imag-
ination. This was necessary when he was
called upon, day after day, to supply nickle-
plated characters to men whom he had new
er seen twice in his life. So his fees were
good and he prospered. He lasted longer
than the professional straw-bail men. In
fact, it is but of late years that he has fallen
upon evil times.
When the newspapers got after the police
courts and showed up the loose and corrupt
manner in which they were conducted, judges
became more careful in accepting the testi-
mony of hired witnesses. And then the pro-
fessional witness as TO character found life
full of trouble.
The one referred to is about the last of his
kind. He hangs about the police court, picks
up odd jobs of one kind and another, and
rails at all things especially the newspapers
And SO he lags superluous on the stage, and
there seems to be no sorrow abroad because
of this.-N. Y. Mail and Erpress.

The Man the Printer L0Yes.

There is man the printer loves, an he is
wondrous wise; whene'er he writes the prin-
ter man he dotteth all his is. And when
he's dotted all of them with carefulness and
ease, he punctuates each paragraph, and
crosses all his rs. Upon one side alone he
writes, and never rolls his leaves and from
the man OF ink smile and mark "insert" re.
ceives. And when question he doth ask
taught wisely he hath been-he doth the
goodly penny stamp, for postage back, put in.
He gives the place from which he writes--his
address the printer needs-and plainly writes
his honored name, so he that runneth reads.
He writes, revises, reads, corrects, and re.
writes all again, and keeps one copy safe, and
sends one to the printer man. And thus by
taking little pains, at triding ease and cost,
assures himself his manuscript will not be
burned or lost. And so he speaks through
all the land, and thousands hear his word, and
in the coming day shall know how much he
served the Lord.
So let all those who long to write, take pat.
tern by this man, with jet black ink and paper
white, do just the best they can /; and then
the printer man shall know and bless
them as his friends, all through life's Journey
as they 60, until that journey ends.

Fruit Without Seeds.

1t is well known that high cultivation tends
to produce fruit containing fewer seeds, until
at last all the powers of the tree or plant are
directed to the perfecting of the pulp. In
some cases no seed appears. The finest vsri-
cites of plantains and bananas, pineapples and
bread-fruit have no seeds. OF course, all such
trees and plants have 10 be propagated from
shoots or cuttings. 1t has been common be-
lief that the life of such plants could not be
prolonged indefinitely. In the case of the
apple and the orange this is true. The trees
have to be raised from seeds, and the seedless
varieties ere grated upon these. Such vari-
cites of fruit could not arise in state of ma
ture. They are the result of selection by the
early race of mankind. 1t must have been
the case that the fruit was abundant, SO that
people were content only with the beat. 1t
must also have been favorite, if not s'ne-
cessary article of food, or man would never
have improved it by careful selection.
Humboldt thought that some species of
the plantain were native to America, but the
early discoveries made no mention of finding
it here. Is we could prove it to be native,
it would raise our estimation of the civiliza-
ton of the people. AS the case stands, the
probability is that these seedless fruits were
first produced in the East Indies, and from
that point have been carried around the
world. The name of the banana indicates
that it was given in the east, and that the
fruit was leading one in the ancient mar
kate

Robin Adair.

The hero of the popular song OF "Robin
Adair," which is attributed to Lady Caroline
Keppel, was Robert Adair, surgeon Q71O(?)
1901 we'll known to the London fashionable
circles of the eighteenth century as the For
tunate Irshman."
His detection in an early amour drove him
from Dublin to London. On his way he fetl
in with lady OF fashion who had been slight
ly hurt in runaway accident He Travelled
with her in her carriage TO London as surgi-
cal attendant, and on their arrival was pre-
sented with fee of 100 guineas and a general
invi alton to her house. There he met Lady
Caroline Keppel, daughter of the second Earl
of Albemarle, who, forgetting her high line
age, fell desperately in love with the
Irish surgeon at sight.
The Albemare family. dismayed at tina
project of such mesalliance, took Lady Car
olne from London to Bath, and tried every
means to make her forget her lover, but in
vain. At last their opposition was with
drawn, and the couple were united.
1t was at Bath that Lady Caroline is said
| to have composed the words of "Robin Adair,
setting them to the plaintiye Irish tune OF
Eileen Aroon," which she had heard heI
lover sing.
The original song of EILEEN Aroon" Is at
tributed to one Carol O'Daly, an early Irish
bard who hourished apparently before the
tenth century. A Munster poet ofthe seven
teenth century rewrote the words, and in this
form it was translated by John Anster and
| paraphrased by Gerald Griffin. 1t is il
Griffins paraphrase that the song is known
to this generation.

"And what come next? ?"

The inquiry was pursued still further, but
along towards the end of the alphabet, the
