How an Actress showed Her Lo

How many women of today would be
clever enough to show in their costumes
exactly their political feelings? Mile Rau-
court, the great French actress, remained
loyal to the Bourbon as long as she lived,
and her costume was material protest
against those who were in power
1t is said that on her spencer were
eighteen buttons, as evincing her loyalty
to Louis XVIII. Her fan when folded
showed the outline of the face of Marie
Antoinette, and when open formed the

curious shawl, in which could be traced
portraits of Louis, the queen and the

Authorizations in Food.

Many States have stringent laws
against food adulteratiou, but they
fail to check the evil. 1t is on the
increase. The last report Of the
Dairy Commissioner of New Jersey
shows that 1895 per cent, or nearly
half, Of all the food preparations
submitted to him for examination
were adulterated. Sometimes the
adulterations were harmless and in
these cases the purchaser would be
only swindled, but in many in
stances rank poisons were found in
articles of every day consumption.
A large percentage of canned vege-
tables, such as peas and string beans,
were found to contain copperas, used
to give a green color, and a number
of baking powders had been ''doc-
tored'' with ammonia to give an ar
tifcial leavening strength and to
permit of their carrying more waste
matter. In these cases there is not
only fraud but danger to the public
health. *-N. Y. Tribune.

her talking of various men &C.
