1.-THE world is full of people who think
they know it all" said John A. Starr,
"and in no subject is there so much su-
periuous knowledge rolling around as
that which relates to food adulteration
and substitution. What little money !
have has been made out Of sugar, and ]
profess to know something about that
Indispensable and very popular article.
But | learned something the other day
which neither l nor any one else ever
knew before. l was eating breakfast
with a chance acquaintance Ihad picked
up on the cars, and he called for some
crushed sugar, Directing to white lump
because, ms he assured me confidential
ly, it was all made from glucose. which
was nothing else but animal refuse.
II explained to him that he was quite
right in his ideas excepting in two re-
spects, one of which was that white
lump was not made from glucose and
the other that glucose was a product of
corn and not of animal refuse. He
seemed rather to resent the llformation
at first, and as he proceeded to destroy
the flavor Of his coffee by the use Of
some very dark sugar which was little
more or less than glucose itself he told
me that he had the information from an
authentic source, and that he could not
be persuaded to ruin his internal organs
at the request Of the first stranger he
happened to meet."-St. Louis Globe

A BONA FIDE SEA SERPENT
The Pilot of Steamer Edith Sights 1t
Off Marrowstone Point.

SEATTLE, June 1.-The sea serpent
that has been occasionally appearing
to certain individuals around the
Sound has at last made its existence
certain. No longer can it be doubted
that it is thing of reality and not the
Imagination of whiskey soaked brain.
The crew and passengers on board the
steamer Edith saw it this morning, and
watched its gambols in the water for
nearly half an hour.
As the boat was rounding Marrow
stone point the man at the wheel
noticed the head of a queer-looking
monster raised above the water off the
port bow He called the attention of
the others on board to it, and with
wonder and fear they watched the
dreadful sea monster. Only its head
and neck were in sight, SO that its
length could not be estimated. Its head
was like that of an immense snake, and
was about the size of a mans body ;
the neck was of equal size.
When first seen it had about five
feet of its anatomy in sight 1t was
motionless except that it was turning
its head from side to side and opening
and closing its immense mouth. AS
the steamer drew quite close to it it
sank out of sight for a moment and
came up on the other side of the boat
1t appeared to be gazing with amaze
ment upon the Edith and her passen-
gers. 1t swan along with the boat for
several minutes and then turning sud
denly started in the opposite direction
at great rate of speed. 1t churned
the water into foam with its tail and
continued to do SO until it passed out
of sight in the direction of WILDLY
island. There were about twenty peo-
pie on board the Edith at the time and
they all tell the same story, so it must
be fact.
