IMPURITIES IN FOOD.
They Are Not - Common ~ Many Persons
May Suppose.

May Suppose.
Singularly exaggerated ideas con.
cerning the adulteration of food are
very generally held, according to DIR.
II. w. Wiley. chemist of the United
States department of agriculture. Sand,
for instance. is not sold with sugar-at
least in the United States. The granu.
lated and lump sugars in the market
are almost absolutely pure. powdered
sugar sometimes, though rarely. con.
tains q little -four or starch. and low
grade sugars are impure chiefly
through the molasses and water they
are made to absorb in manufacture.
Not as good report can be
given of sirups. There is very little
pure maple sirup, most of what is
sold IS such being a mixture of glucose
or cane sirups with a small proportion
of the product of the maple. while in
an imitation actually protected by a
patent. the maple flavor is given by an
abstract of hichory bark. Liquid honey
is largely adulterated with glucose.
OF comb honey. however. only that in
bottles and jars is impure, the old i'm.
preston that comb honey on the frame
is adulterated having been proven tc
be erroneous. Ground coffee is SO
largely adulterated with chickory,
peas. beans, etc. that it is rarely found
pure. and even the unground berry is
initiated. Tea is rarely mixed with
foreign leaves, but frequently has It's
weight increased by the addition Of
salts of IRON and copper-materials
quite prejudicial to health. Cocoa and
chocolate are largely adulterate6
with starch and sugar, and products
claimed to be greatly improved as to
digestibility may have little of tho
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 as twelve per cent. Of
lead. the organic salts formed by tho
corrosion of the lead being always
poisonous. The common practice of
coloring canned peas with copper is
very Objectionable. The use of preserva-
tives, such rs salicylic acid, is not with.
out risk, while an occasional source Of
danger is the development of nitro
genous bodies called ptomaines IN
preserved meats. The above are Illus.
trations of the principal food adul.era-
tions, which. though bad enough. arc
insignificant in comparison with the
startling reports that have been pnh-
lished. Much the greater part of fcois
we eat is pure and wholesome. DE.

He remained there for some time, but APP
peared to be in dazed and somewhat de-
lirious condition. and was taken to his
home. DR.. Benedict was called in, and
upon examination he found that the skull
was badly fractured. Seifke soon became
unconscious, and remained in that condi-
ton until he passed away at the time

SHOWERS on THE COAST

San Francisco, Cal, April 26.-General
showers throughout Sacramento valley
today, following yesterdays rain, insure
good yields of grain, and have done
much TO improve the situation in the
San Joaquin valley. where the long
drought was very severely felt.
Barley districts, of southern California,
however, are still in need of rain to Sc
cure a fair yield. So far that division
of the state has received no part of the
benefit bestowed upon the farmers north
of Tehachapi. Where there have been
showers, the orchards and vineyards
have been benefited, as well as the
grain fields. In the foothills, a downpour
was particularly grateful as the trees
and vines there were most in need of
moisture. Flowing for summer fallow
can also be resumed.
Improved crop prospects caused a break
in the local call board this morning.
December wheat opened at 1.1514, but
dropped to I12A, closing at lbs.
May wheat dropped to 1.05 from 1.0Sh
at opening, but closed at 1055s
December barley opened at LIS, but
dropped to 11012 closing at LIP.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.


Chicago, April 26.-Whsat, at the close
of the days market, showed very little
change from its value at the correspond

was, was in the way of Improvement.
The fine growing weather which is bring
ing favorable crop bulletins from the
country, caused weakness at the start.

Fresh trading was for the most part
done in July. Late in the session the
market became matter only of how
wheat could be transferred from May TO
July for the final arbitramsnt of the 1856
- season
Corn was weak and closed one-guarter

tied up for May, did not get into an active
state of nertousness. The crowd watched
anxiously but did very little business.

AN ANECDOTE.
Charles o. Stickney narrates the fol-
lowing anecdote of DIR. Holmes: eve
were talking" said he, ''of Jim Jay,
get a simple little incident connected
with Jim and myself at the time 1 was
studying medicine at Harvard. 1t was
one Of those trifies that cling to a
mans memory down to old ages when
events OF far greater moment fade
from his mind. 1 was studying medi-
cine, and boarded at my fathers One
day the professor made me gratefully
happy by the present of the skull OF a
subject we had just dissected. To get
it well bleached, l placed it carefully
in the little brook that flowed through
our estate. There l let it stay until I
thought it sufficiently cleansed, but
when l went to take it away it was
gone. 1 searched down the stream for
1t. and after a while met Jim Jay COM
ing across the field carrying my pre-
cious skull over his shoulder on a stick
which he had punched through it. 1
took him to do for playing such a
mean trick, and demanded back my
property. Jim quietly heard me
through, then swung his trophy above
his head and ran off like a, deer, CIV
ing vent to series of warhoops that
would have done honor to Comanche,
q nd h a f11e 114- e
skull with the natural eye.''
DR.. Holmes is supposed to be leisurely
writing his own biography. He de-
votes about an hour a day to compost
ton, and the result of his mature mind
and undisturbed memory must be
charming and instructive resume of a
happy. Wholesome and benefcent life
that continues on into an age of pes
simism and doubt without losing its
faith in the benefcence of the univer-
sal scheme or having its hopes destroy
ed by the tumult of a new era.
