IMPURITIES IN FOOD.
They Arc Not as Common rs Many Persons
May suppose.

Singularly eXag2 eratod ideas concern
ing the adulteration Of food are very
generally held, according 70 Dir. II. "
Wiley, chemist OF Ia vi: L States de-
p.rt..oat Of a.,-ic..,:u., sand, FOG III

in the United States
The graduated and lump sugars in
the market are almost absolutely pure,
powdered sugar sometimes, though rare

low grade sugars are impure chiefly
through the molasses and water they
are made t. absorb in manufacture.

with small proportion Of the product

tually protected by patent the maple
flavor is given by an extract of hickory
bark. Liquid honey is largely adulter-
however, only that in bottles and jars
is impure, the old impression that comb
honey on the frame is adulterated hay
ing been proved to be erroneous.
Ground coffee is SO largely adultcrat-
ed with chicory, peas, beans, ETC., that
it is rarely found pure. and even the
unground berry is initiated. Tea is rare
" mixed with foreign leaves, but fire.
quently has its weight increased by the
addition Of salts of iron and copper
materials quite prejudicial to health.
Cocoa and chocolate are largely atlul-
terated with starch and sugar, and
products claimed to be greatly improved
as to digostibility may have little Of the
virtues Of the original cocoa bean left
in them.
A danger in canned goods is the use
of adulterated tin. which may contain
as high rs IL per cent of lead, the Or
ganic salts formed by the corrosion of
the lead being always poisonous. The
common practice Of color;ng canned
peas with copper is very Objectionable
The use Of prescryatives, such rs sail
cylic acid, is not without risk, while au
occasional source Of danger is the devcl-
opment Of nitrogcnous bodies called
ptomaiues in preserved meats. The
above are illustrations Of the principal
food authorizations, which, though bad
enough, are insignificant in comparison
with the startling reports that have
been published. Much the greater part
Of foods we eat is pure and wholesome

Thanksgfyfnp SOng.

A few late roses linger and smilingly deck
the sod.
And the world is like picture where the
harvests smile to God.
There's greater joy In living, for no
blessing he denies,
And the souls divine thanksgiving drifts
in incense to the skies!
Through the darkness and the danger,
through the peril of the past,
To the starred and stormless haven he
has led our ships at last,
And with richest treasures laden we
have furled the flags above
For the garlands of his glory and the BAN
ners of his love!
Sing sweet thy sweet thanksgiving, O
soul! And ring, We bells,
Till the world shall catch the chorus and
the anthem heavenward swells!
For his love and for his mercy, for his
cross and chastening rod,
For his tender benedictions, let the whole
world thank its God

Dearucs. C.,mot he cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure d,afness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an infiamcd condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cahnot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

The death of Mrs. John o. Wait,

The death of Mrs. John o. Wait,
that has been inevitable for some
time, occurred last Friday evening at
the residence Of her father, L. A..
Dryden, where she and her husband
have resided for several months.
Maria Z. Dryden was born in New
Brunswick twenty-one years ago come
the Sd of December. She was mar
ried to John O. Wait in the town of
Peru Aug. 8, 1892. She was a mem
Der OF the NJ. E. church and passed
to the other side comforted by this
belief embraced in her early life.
Funeral services were held on Sun
day at the M. E. church, the pastor
speaking from the text, "Her sun
has gone down while 1t is yet day" "
The body was inferred in the Peru
cemetery.
The deceased was an estimable
young lady whose life bid fair to be
one of Joy to her family circle and
of usefulness to her community
and her early death is mourned by
many friends and acquaintances, who
with reluctance bow to the inexolable
law that takes her hence, but satisfied
that their loss is her eternal gain.
She was the victim Of a complica-
tion of diseases the most pronounced
of which was spinal difficulty, and
was great but patient sufferer. She
leaves no children, but husband,
father, mother and brothers and sis
tiers to mourn her loss.

A DESPERATE OFFER
by Man Who Despaired of Gaining a
support for His Family.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A most extraordinary incident Indicative
no doubt. of the desperate state of mind to
vailing hard times occurred at Emergency
Hospital yesterday. A man about forty
five years of age called al the hospital and
asked to see the superintendent or physician
in charge. When that functionary was
called and inquired the strangers business
the man said:
My name is Albert Stoner / am a
painter by trade and have a family depend
ent on me at Flint. | have been out of
work for a long time, though 1 have sought
il constantly and done anything and every
thing that was offered me. which was very
little. My family are now reduced to very
straitened circumstances. and l want to sell
you my body for SO for dissecting pur-
poses"
The doctor was astonished at the novelty
of the proposition and said. facetiously that
the hospital might have to wait a good
while before the goods We're delivered.
Not at ALL replied Mr.. Stoner. Just as
soon as ! find that the money has reached
my family | will commit suicide and leave
an order that my body be given to YOU
If the doctor had been astonished before
he was much more so at the last remark of
Mr.. Stoner, and began to suspect that he
was dealing with a lunatic. But, though he
applied the usual tests in the long CONVEX
sation which followed, he was unable to
detect the slightest alteration of mind. ex-
