IMPURITIES IN FOOD.
They Are Not as Common as Many Persons
NAV Suppose.


Singularly exaggerated ideas concern.
ing the adultcration of food are very
generally held, according TO DR. II. w
Wiley, chemist Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. Sand, for in
stance, is not sold with sugar-at least
In the United States.
The granulated and lump sugars I'm
the market are almost absolutely pure,
powdered sugar sometimes, though rare.
ly, contains little flour or starch, and
low grade sugars are impure chiefly
through the molasscs and water they
nre made To absorb i'm manufacture.
Not as good n report can be given Of
Girups. There is very little pure maple
sirup, most Of what il sold as such be.
ing mixture Of glucose or cane sirups,
with n small proportion of the product
of the maple while in AN imitation nc.
tually protected by patent the maple
flavor is given by an extract of hickory
bark. Liquid honey is largely adulter-
ated with glucose. OF comb honey,
however, only that in bottles and Jars
is impure, the old impression that comb
honey ON the frame Is adultorated hav-
ing boon proved 10 be erroneous
Ground coffee is so largely adulterat.
cd with chicory, peas, beans, etc, that
it Is rarely found pure, and even the
unground berry Is initiated. Tea Ia rare
ly mixed with foreign leaves, but fre-
quently has its weight increased by the
addition of salts Of iron and copper
materials quite prcjudicial TO health.
Cocoa and chocolate are largely adul-
teratcd with starch and sugar, ana
products claimed to be greatly improved
as TO digestibility may have little of the
virtues OF the original cocoa bean left
in them.
A danger in canned goods Is tho use
of adultorated tin, which may contain
as high as ~ per cent of lead, the or
ganic 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 prcservatives, such as sail
cylic acid, is not without risk, while an
occasional source Of danger Is the devcl-
opment of heterogeneous bodies called
ptomaines in preserved meats. The
above are illustrations of the principal
food adulterations, 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

Tho Jlenr md the Umbrella.

How much danger is there to the
pound In wild black bear when you
meet him in his haunts accidentally and
at close quartcrs2 Mrs. G. II. Latham,
wife Of mine host at Oak Lodge, on tho
Indian river peninsula (Brevard county,
Fla. y was returning from tho beach
alono and armed only with an umbrella.
When just quarter D n mile from this
very porch, she heard the rustling Of
some animal coming toward her through
the saw palmottos.
Thinking IL must be raccoon, sho
quickly picked up chunk of palmetto
wood and held it ready to wbaclk Mr..
Coon over the head the instant he
emerged. All at once, with mighty
rustling, out stepped big black bear
within six feet of herl The surprise was
mutual and profound. Naturally Mrs.
Latham was scared, but not ont Of her
wits, and she decided that to run would
bc TO invite pursuit and possibly attack.
She stood her ground and said nothing,
and the bear rose on his hind legs TO get
a better look ut her, making two or
three feints in her direction with his
paws.
Feeling that she must do something,
Mrs. Latham pointed her umbrella at
the bear and quickly opened and closed
IL two or three times. "Woofw said
the bear. Turning about, no plunged
into the palmcttos and went crashing
away, while the lady ran homeward as
fast as she could 90. So much for the

NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
The Sign Manual Of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.


Not Change In Life.
There is born with every one of us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable mark
or marks, which absolutely distinguish
each one of us from every other fellow
being. These physical marks never
change from the cradle to the grave
This born autograph is impossible to
counterfeit, and there IL no duplicate of
it among the tecming billows in the
world. Look at the insidos of your
hands aud the soles of your feet; closely
examine the ends Of your fingers. You
SEQ circles and curves and arches and
whorls, some prominent with deep cor.
rugations, others minute and delicate,
but all well defined and closely traced
pattern, There is your physiological
signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger nails on piece of clear
glass. You see all tho delicate tracing
transferred-not two fingers alike; even
"the left hand knoweth not what the
right hand doeth. They are distinctly
different. Even twins may be so little
different in size, features and general
physical condition as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, yet their finger autographs
are radically different.
In fact, in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers and
his wrinkled hand Of decrepit old age
the identical curves, arches and circles
that were born with him Nothing sx
cept dismemberment can 3bliterate "
disguise them. Criminals may burn and
scar their hands, but nature, when she
restores the cutiole, invariably bring.

Stanford's Retort.

Once Senator Stanford was travelling
through California in his private car
The train had stopped at q small town,
and the senator was leisurely strolling
back and forth ON the platform at the

trunks, and in doing so carelessly pitched
one onto the platform. and it burst
open. The senator looked at it and re.

FAMILY HANDWRITING.
Experts Say All of n Generation Have the
Same Characteristics.

Experts Say All of Generation Have the
Same Chsracte eristics.
Experts in handwriting say that all
the people of q single generation write
alike, and it is well known that most
French handwriting has strong family
likeness to tho eyes of others than
Frenchmen. Nearly all Cinnamon of
the washhouse class look alike to super.
fetal observers, and persons unaccus-
toned to colored persons find difficulty
in distinguishing one from another.
II needs, however, comparison of
two or three family photograph albums
of 90 or 30 years ago to convince men
and women of today that there are strik-
ing superficial likenesses running
through Americans of given genera
tion. All these old albums show curious
resemblances, chiefly perhaps of dress
and face, but sufficiently striking for
one family album at first glance to be
taken for another. As page after page
of each is turned over there is the same
succession of men, women and children
in full figure, sitting, standing, posed
i'll groups of two or three, with hats,
without hats, draped in shawls, and
manifestly dressed in their best for the
occasion.
The photographers of those days
chose, for reasons of their own, to make
full length pictures, and as they were
unusually small costume counted for II
great deal and helped to intensity the
general likeness running the whole gen

HE New York Sun, the leading Dem
ocratic paper of the east, is not pleased
with the Democratic tariff. IL saws
that the new tariff will cause readjust.
ment OF prices in many departments OF
trade, and usually as it tends to lower
them 1t will tend also to lower wages.
with the result that laborers will be dis
satisfied and rebellious. Even If thew
can buy the same amount OF goods with
the less money, they will be no better
content. They are afraid OF the prece.
dent OF lowering the scale OF wages: but

necessity, though only after strong resist
ance to it. Obviously, if goods hitherto
produced IN this country can be imported
at less cost, the cost OF their home pro-
duction must be decreased, and general
iy by the reduction OF the price Of labor.
Moreover, the disturbance in the labor
market caused by this tariff will be the
more unfortunate because Of the inequal-
lty OF the protection afforded by so III.
Democratic measure. 1t protects some
departments OF trade fully, and it leaves
others insutficiently protected or unpro-

| The lot Of the Democratic orator in the
present campaign is most unhappy one
the st. Louis Globe Democrat thinks.
He finds himself confronted by the ugly
fact that his party il divided against it.
self, and that it il practically impossible
for him to talk without doing it rs much
harm as good. He can not defend the
new tariff Law without blaming Cieys-
land for not signing it, and he can not
condemn it without blaming congress
for passing it. In either case, it will be
observed, he is sure to throw stones that
must hit democratic heads. Ii the law
is to be regarded as . good one, then
strong democratic testimony to the con.
trary is to DO scornfuily rejected; and if
it is to be considered bad, in whole or in
part, then it should have been defeated
or properly amended by the party hay
ing the power to do so. There is no es-
cape from this dilemma. 1t viii not do
to charge that treason prevented the
fuifilment Of definite pledges, and at
the same time insist that the party con-
tanning the traitors is deserving OF ap-
prevail and confidence. Neither will it
answer to claim that the traitors are
alone responsible for the obnoxious
features OF the measure when it is well |
known that every one Of those features |
was carried in the senate by . democrat
ic majority, and accepted in the house
by a nearly unanimous democratic vote.
1t thus comes to pass that the average
democratic stump speech reads as il |
there were two democratic parties en-
gagged IN the contest, and no other. The
republican party can not be denounced
