be in those days of suddenly realized

ADULTERATING SPICES.
II Has Grown to q Science In Spite Of Az
Laws Against 1t.

It Has Grown to Science In Spite Of Az
Laws Against 1t.
IN these days of fierce competition
and fraudulent dealing. says the Con-
feet .oners' Union of London, adaltera-
tiOn has become an art in which a
knowledge OF science and the ingenuity
OF trade are freely exercised for de-
ceptive purposes, Perhaps no ingredi-
ents lend themselves SO readily to the
manipulations OF the 'sophisticaLor"
as spices
People in general know so little
about spice that it can be adulterated
in the most wholesale and barefaced
manner. 1t requires the trained skill
of an expert to fully expose the many
frauds that are perpetrated in the
trade.
1t is not at.all an uncommon thing
to see ground spices sold at less than
half the price OF the unground article.
q fact which sufficiently indicates that
grinding is not the only process which
the spice undergoes.
1t means, OF course, that the ground
spice has been more than doubled in
its bulk by the addition of some cheap
substance. Some firms 90 so far as to
advertise adulterated goods, and evade
the law by calling them compounds.
Ground ginger is adulterated with
meal, lice, Hour, starch, cayenne
pepper, and manila rope.
The true ginger.root has very fine
hair-like fiber running through it, and
this Is found in the ground article.
Many people will not buy ginger I'M
less they see the fiber, and bits OF
ground rope are made to take their
place in the adulIeratcd article.
Cayenne pepper gives the necessary
pungency. Sometimes chrome yellow,
q poisonous article. Is used for color
ing. $751;. .-:,,..
Cloves are adulterated with an ad-
mixture OF the dried and ground
twigs OF the trees from which the
cloves are gathered; also with ground
cocoanut shells and pepper dust
Allspice Is also treated in the same
way.
Considerable clcverness is shown in
the adulteration OF cinnamon and
nutmeg. Stale and broken buiscuits
or damaged and common -four are
baked in the oven, and afterwards
ground up toa tine powder, and this
is freely mixed with the ground Gin
namon and nutmeg.
In adulterating mace, Venetian
red is mixed up with this baked dust
Cayenne pepper is adulterated with
meal, farina, cOcOanut shells, Vene-
tian red and salt, the whole being
then ground up together.
In some cases the essential oils are
even extracted from pure spices prior
to the grinding.

Tyranny of the Table.

The new code of table manners is
a piece Of awful tyranny. 1t forbids
sugar and vinegar on lettuce, sugar
on strawberries and in claret, and
banishes the spoon. Even the elu-
;ive pea must be hunted aud har-
pooned by the fork, ice-cream must
Oe gathered and carried to the mouth
with the same weapon, and the
strawberry, now happily departing.
must also be impaled before it can be
tasted. The knife was made a back
number many years ago, but people
surrendered easily because there was
Danger Of making the mouth larger,
which in most cases was unnecessary.
But to be denied the spoon after so
much outlay for Columbian souvenirs
is, in the language of A. Ward, ''2

Brandt did not waste time upon
speculations as to the cause of his
dogs condition, but quickly bound up
the shoulder in strips of rags which
he had brought for that purpose. The
dog submitted to this operation with
his usual good sense and fortitude,
but when his master attempted to
move him, he resisted with all his
might. Finding resistance in vain,
he struggled to his feet and looking
up into his masters face, with the
well-understood look of intelligence
Brandt had so often seen there, he
pressed his nose down to the spot
upon which he had lain.
Brandt put his lantern down close
| to the ground, and examined it care
fully. In spite of his wounded Shout
der, Ben wriggled about in the
i fashion dogs have of showing their
satisfaction. A smothered ejacula-
tion broke from the young man. He
had put his lantern close down to a
! nugget OF gold as large as his fist.
Ben licked his masters hand, and
wriggled almost out of his skin in his
delight.
Brandt tied up the nugget in the
corner of the blanket and looked
about for more. Every blow of his
pick yielded piece of earth rich with
the precious metal. The young fel
lew, disappointed for so long, and nov
seeing his best hopes more than
realized. felt his brain Keeling, and

THAT LAND DECISION.

Tho Importance OF the Decision Pub
lished Yesterday by the Herald.
The HERALD yesterday published a
verbatim report of an elaborate opinion
by Judge Ross in overruling the demur-
rer in the case of the Southern Pacific
railroad vs.. .Juana O. Araiza, in the
United States court; which involves
over million acres of land and affects
some 1400 settlers in Central and South
ern California.
Many attorneys in Los Angeles, Fres.
no and Visalia took part in the Araiza
case, which was regarded as q test case,
Tor upon Its tate many other cases
hinged.
The Araiza case is looked upon as the
biggest victory ever won by the South
ern Pacific railroad in the courts in this
part of the state.
Joseph D. Redding. Esq, chief solic-
itor for the land department of the
Southern Pacific, had exclusive manage
ment and control of the case for the
railroad; Senator Stephen M. White, j.
H. Call, Del Vale & Munday, Short &
Meserve and Judge Wallace of Visalia,
and many other attorneys represented
Araizs and kindred interests.
The decision has created something OF
a sensation in railroad and legal circles,
and the enterprise of the HERALD was
generally commented upon in publish
ing in full 60 important matter and
one which concerns nearly everyone in
Southern California.

Upon the authority of Brown VS.. jerks,
No. 14,914, opinion filed March 27, 1898,
% Gal. Dec. 112) the Judgment and or
der denying new trial are reversed.
Brown, respondent, vs.. White ct al,

same authority.
Brown, respondent, VS.. Parker ct al,
appellants-Upon the same authority
quoted above, the Judgment herein is
reversed.
The following opinion in the case OF
People VS.. George Monroe was received
Yesterday by Clerk Sesnon for fling in
this city:
The question involved was the sufi-
ciency OF the information, it being con-
tendent by the appellant that the instru-
ment was void upon space, and there
fore not the subject of forgery.
The Instrument was the assignment of
a teachers salary with guaranteed
clause attached and provision that the
teacher should pay interest and attor-
ney's fees. Now the court holds that
the assignment of teachers salary is
null and void, not subject to forgery,
but that the other provisions included
in the instrument constituted binding
contracts and were therefore eubjectto
forgery.
They also hold that the court errsd in
presenting copy of the instrumeht to
ons OF the witnesses with the statement
that it had been proven to be on exact
copy. The court holds that tbfs is i'm
material and not reversible error.
Judgment therefore affirmed. -
