narshal McMahon,s memoirs.

Marshal McMahon is still on his estate,
La Forest, completing his much discussed
memoirs. He will not return to Paris
till the work is done from title to fms.
A few of Marshal McMahon's most init
mate friends have enjoyed the privilege
of listening to his reading of many OF
the latest pages of his book. For the
rest of the curious world the marshal
has made no provision. Only six copies
of the memoirs will be printed-one for
each of his four children, one fer himself
and one for his wife.-Paris Letter.

Underground Treasure in Indian Territory

Underground Treasure in Indian Territory.
Rich veins of gold, silver and copper
are said to have been known to the In
dams of Indian territory for many gen
erations, but to reveal the secret of these
to the white man was made capital
crime by the tribal law. Two expert
enced miners who had heard rumors OF
this wealth lately set out to investigate
for themselves, and succeeded beyond
their widest expectations. A company
of nine white capitalists and thirteen
Indians has been formed, and the devel-
opment of the new Ell Dorado will begin
at once.-Kate Fields Washington.

the memory of Charles Cough, who in

Deadly Ammonia Fumes.

TIE Lancaster (Ohio) Republican
gives the details of terrible cxpio-
sion of an ammonia tank in local
brewery. Four persons were over
come by the ammonia fumes and were
restored with great difficulty. One Of
them was 3-year-old child playing
some distance away. As soon as the
ammonia fumes struck 1t. it dropped
as though hit by a bullet. A woman
who ran to its assistance was also
overcome and fell senseless. The
engineer was blown distance of
twenty feet. and. although not seri-
ously injured. was prostrated so by
the poisonous fumes that he did not
recover for several days. Still an
other man. a distance away. was rem
dered insensible.
The use of ammonia in various manu-
factures has greatly increased Of late,
and accidents are OF frequent occur
renee. owing to ignorance Of its quali-
ties. There is Danger not only from
such accidents as that at Lancaster,
but the effects OF its daily absorption
into the system are very injurious.
Meu VINO WOTk lu lis mauuIactuTt
suffer from this slow ammonia poison
ing. Its effect is first noticed in their
compilations, which assume an un-
healthy. blotched appearance.
In this connection Professor Blyth.
Health Officer OF the Marylebone dis
trict in London. cites the cases Of men
who work Ia guano factories where
ammonia is given of freely. There Is
noticed among them peculiar dis
coloration OF the skin Of the nose and
forehead. A daily absorption Of am
moaia. in very minute quantities. will
cause tho complexion to lose some-
thing of its natural freshness. Pro-
fessor Clifford Mitchell In his chemistry
says ammonia poisoning may be so
prolonged that death will not occur for
several months. The length OF time
he gives for an Immediately fatal dose
TO kill Is four minutes.
The uso OF ammonia In the manu-
factures aud its abuse as q food adul-
tcrant especially in baking powders is
so rapidly increasing that its danger

FOOD ADULTERATlONS.
ThIrty.Two Per Cent OF Common Articles
Impure.

In list OF twenty of the most COM
mon articles OF food ia use in every
family the state board OF health finds
that there is 80 per cent Of aduteration,
says the Boston Herald.
This exhibit would be most alarming
II the list included all that was used in
the household economy for the supply
of the table for adults and children.
Fortunately. however, there are cer-
tain staple products. such rs sugar
flour aud other cereal products, which
are rarely adulterated, and therefore
need little inspection.
The May report Of the board, which
has just been issued. shows an examin-
alton of 434 specimens, gathered ut
random. and subjected to analytical
examination. or these. 295 were
found to be of good quality while l39
were adulterated, varying from the
legal standard.
The most alarming exhibit reported
from the examinations was in the mat
ter Of canned goods. where only one
seventh of all the specimens were found
to be of such quality rs to warrant the
seal of approval.
Milk is food for children aud inva-
lids particularly, rs well as delightful
article Of consumption for adults.
More cases charging violation OF the
law in regard to the adulteration Of
milk are brought before the courts
than in regard TO any other article of
food. This is because its purity is so
important in every household of the
rich and poor. Convictions on charge
of adulteration are almost as frequent
as the complaints. Because of the fire.
quency of complaints and convictions
the public has seemed to gather the
idea that milk is the only important
article adulterated. But the record
shows that only one-seventh of the
samples examined are below the stand
ard This Is bad enough 1t is far
worse than the exhibit on canned
goods. because everybody nses milk.
and only the very few use canned
goods on their tables. Besides. infants
aud children use milk. while. in geu-
eraI seuse. only adults use canued
fruits. meats, and fish.
1t may surprise some to know that
eight out Of eleven samples of coffee
were found to be reasonably pure. and
that In a majority OF the samples
tested spices cream OF tartar molasses
aud drugs were found to be all right.
Cheese. maple-sugar, tea. aud con-
fectionery obtained clean record. no
adulteration being found.
Twenty-three complaints were en-
tered in the courts during the month
for violation of the laws relative to the
inspection Of food aud drugs. Convic-
tions were obtained in all cases but
two, and in these the parties had left
the state.
