Thompson being the active workers i'll

ANY Time Now,

LONDON. Feb, 27.-Thc subject OF Clad

some foundation in the report. The Pail
Mall Gazette, the st. James Gazette and
the Westminster Gazet te published arti-
clcs almost Identical in substance indi-
dicating that Gladstone will resign at an
early day. The reason given in each
case is that the Premicr's eyesight is fail.
ing so fast that his vision will become
wholly obscured il he does not immedi-
atcly retire from active political duty. 1t
is also stated that it was the intention
Of Gladstone to alludc to his approach,

mons yesterday. but was dissuadcd by
his colleagues from doing so.

SHERWOOD YOUTH BAND.
A Creditable Entertainment Last
Evening.

The concert by the Sherwood Youth
band at the Young Mems institute last
evening was we'll attended, and the
audience showed its appreciation OF the
efforts Of the colorcd boys with hearty
recalls for all the numbers in which the
band appeared. 1t was given by mu
sicians in miniature, and the music was
the melody Of skilled performers.
The program included a clarinet solo
and a cornct and trombone duct that
were specially pleasing, as were Sousa's
High School Cadet March and the Col

Meat Eating and Temper.

Scientific american.
Mrs. Ernest Hart, who accompanied
her husband in his recent trip around
the world, appears to come to the con-
clusiOn that meat eating is bad for the
temper. In the Hospital she says that
in no country is home rendered so I'M
happy and life made so miserable by
the ill-temper of those who are obliged
to live together as in England. If we
compare domestic lie and manners in
England with those of other countries
where meat does not form such an in
tegral of diet, notable improvement
will be remarked. In less meat-eatlng

IMPURITIES IN FOOD,
They are Not as Common as Many
Persons Suppose.

| Selected
Singularly exaggerated ideas concern
ing the adulteration Of food are very
generally held, according to Dr. H. 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 granulated and lump sugars in
the market are almost absolutely pure,
powdered sugar sometimes. though
rarely, contains little -four or starch
and low grade sugars are impure chiet-
ly through the molasses and water they
are made to absorb in manufacture.
Not as good report can be given Of
syrups. There is very little of the pure
maple syrup, most of what is sold as
such being a mixture of glucose or
cane syrups, with small proportion of
the product of the maple, while in an
imitation actually protected by a pat
ent the maple flavor is given by an ex-
tract of hickory bark. Liquid honey
is largely adulterated with glucose OF
comb honey, however, only that in bot
ties and jars is impure, the old impress
sion that comb honey on the frame is
adu1terated having been proved to be
erroneous.
Ground coffee is so largely adultera-
ted with chicory, peas, beans, etc, that
1t 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 cop
quite prejudlcial to
health. Cocoa and chocolate are large
" adulterated with starch and sugar,
and products claimed to be greatly i'm
proved as to indigestlbility may have
little of the virtues of the original CO.
Goa bean left in them
A danger in canned goods is the use
of adulterated tin, which may contain
as high as IL per cent. of lead, the Or
ganic salts formed by the corrosion Of
the lead being always poisonous. The
common practice of coloring canned
peas with copper is very Objectionable.
The use of preservatlves, such as sail
cvlic acid, is not without risk, while
an occasional source of danger is the
of nitrogenous bodies call
ed ptomaines in preserved meats. The
above are illustrations of the principle |
food adulterations, which, though bad
enough, are insignificant in compari-
son with the startling reports that have
been published. Much the greater
part of foods we eat Is pure and whole
some.

Mr.. Dixon Calls Both Hill and Cleve-
land Peanut Politicians"
Nem Iork. Herald.

Nem York Herald
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, in the pre-
lude to his sermon Yesterday at Asso-
citation Hall, Twenty-third street and
Fourth avenue, took occasion to crit
else the United States Senate in un-
measured tones. After briefly sketch
ing its origin he said -
"It Is an evil to-day, IN that its use
fulness has ceased, and it has deterio-
rated from the high but aristocratic
plane upon which it was built 20 a tool
that is used by selfish and unscrupu-
lous politicians for corrupt purposes
The class of men chosen are in many
WAYS unqualified to hold 80 high an
Office. Wealth and strong political
faith in machine politics constitute the
elements necessary to gain admission
nowadays to that high and stilted body.
"The Senate has indulged in great
deal of peanut politics of late" contin-
ued Dr. Dixon, ito the utter disregard
of the most important interests OF the
country at large, which alone has suf-
fered from the obstructionist policy
lately resorted to.
"Hill and Cleveland are the best
examples of peanut politicians, for while
the country at large is in the throes of
commercial bankruptcy they haggle
and dispute over trivial collateral issues.
ut is the prerogatiye OF the Senate
to obstruct only suc:. legislation as will
work irreparable in Justice or injury to
the country, but it is the duty of that
body to relieve all crises by prompt
and immediate action that will relieve
the situation until such time as better
measures may be passed
"The sugar scandal is proof positive
that Senators are not beneath degrading
themselves for their own political and
pecuniary ends. They are not beneath
room for their pecunlary good
Mr. Dixon closed by saying that until
the Senate was elected by the people so
long would the corruptions of its mem
bers be the rule, not the exception.

The Camphor Tree.
Scientific american.

Scientific Americon.
While camphor was formerly pro-
duced in Sumatra, BOrneO, and other
parts of the East Indies all now known
to the trade comes from Japan and
Formosa. The camphor tree is large
evergreen of symmetrical proportions,
somewhat resembling linden. 1t bears
a white flower, which ripens into a red
berry. Some OF the trees are fifteen
feet in diameter and live to a great age.
A group of trees in the province OF
Toosa, about a century old, are esti-
mated to be equivalent to about forty
thousand pounds of crude camphor.
The camphor is extracted from chips
taken from the roots or from the stem
near tie root, the wood yielding about
5 per cent. OF camphor, and the root a
larger proportion. The annual export
of Japan camphor averages about
5,OOO0OOpounds The forests in Japan
owned by the people are now almost
denuded of timber, but the government
still possesses large woods of camphor
trees, which, 1t is estimated, will main
tain a full average supply OF the gum
for the next twenty-five years. Plan
tations of young trees are also making
and are we'll taken care of, and, although
camphor has not hitherto been extract
ed from trees less than seventy or eighty
years old, it is expected that under the
present intelligent management equally
good results may be realized in twenty
five or thirty years. The japanese
Department of Forests, which has the
control Of these woods, is under good
management.

A Mothers influence.
Youths Companion.

Youths C0uDaniOn.
NJ Casimir-Pcrier, the new President
of the French Republic, had shown
himself. IN his public career, very little
cOvetOuls Of official hOnors More than
once he had sought to avoid public
employment but his character, his
ability, his discretion and the mOdera-
ton of his opinions marked him out
for the succession to NJ CarnOt in the
emergency in which the late President s
assassination left the republic.
But the friends of several other men
were pressing them for the great place,
and were to forward their chances,
making personal attacks upon NJ. Cast
mir-Perier. He declared, therefore,
when the chiefs of the various Repub-
lican groups waited upon him and
asked him to accept the presidency at
the hands OF the National Assembly,
that he was not candidate, and could
not accept the honor.
He was pressed to change his deter
mination but remained steadfast.
The leaders of the party did not know
what to do They were unable to unite
upon any other man, and they believed
that Ca-imer- -Perler was emphatically
the man for the emergency.
In this case they did what perhaps
none but Frenchmen, among the best
Of whom fillal obedience is one of the
strongest motives, would have done.
They went to Casimir-Perier' mother,
induced her to come IN. and begged
her to intercede with her son to change
his determination.
She listened patiently to their argu-
ments. and also to her sons objections.
Then she turned to him and said
History is in my mind, and lnsplr-
ed by my affection for you, declare
that YOUR grandfather, If he were here,
would tell YOU that, in the clrcumstan-
ces. it was your duty to stand and to
accent the mission which may be con-
fided to YOU by the Congress.
Then NJ. Casimir-Perler gave way,
and was chosen to the presidency. One
cannot but admire the spirit OF the
mother: for although the presidency
of France is a great honor, 1t involves
at the present epoch OF dynamite
bombs a great personal risk, which the
new President deems it beneath his
dignity to regard.
