that the Bible. properly understood. does not
teach anything miraculous. In fact II does

extraordinary nature that common sense his

Food AduIteration in England.

In the golden age our forefathers were
content to use water for the purpose OF
strengthening the milk; now It Is adul-
terated with rice -four and pounded bull
locks and calves brains, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, and slightly sweetcned
with a saccharine substance. Used as a
substitute for butter, even margarine is
often adulterated and is simply some
fatty substance colored with carrot Juice
and favored with essence OF nuts. and
having only the appearance of sound
margarine. Not only Is chiccory usually
mixed with ground coffee, but there is
an artificial berry manufactured and
sold as coffee to great extent. Frozen
meat Is taking the place of fresh meat,
and any quantity OF wine is sent into
the market as claret and burgundy
which has not a single drop OF grape

to dispense with barley, and several

PROSPECT OF UNION.

The conventions Of the anti-Tammany
organizations are acting wisely In ad-
journing and appointing committees OF
conference on the selection OF a combi-
nation local ticket against the Tam
many nominations.
The Committee of Seventy, which
rather startled the community by the
announcement that It had decided on
a ticket OF it's own. to be Endorsed by
the rest. now asserts that 1t has done
nothing decisive, but only In the way OF
suggestion. The Republicans still in
sist on naming the Mayor, although
their Convention adjourned last night.
The Independent County organization
meets at Cooper Union tonight.
The outlook for a single union ticket
Is now better than It was.

EFFECT OF EXCLUSION.

The Evening World told the Demo
cratic State Convention in advance Of
Its meeting that an important step in
the direction of success was the opening
of Its doors and the admission to the
Convention OF all Democratic organiza-
lions formed In opposition to the regu-
lar organization, through a variety OF
causes.
OF course II Is necessary In n political
party to enforce regularity as n rule.
Without that, organization would be use
less and boiling on any slight pretense
would be encouraged. But this year
the situation was peculiar. The De
mocracy had been routed in the State
because of the blunders and misdoings
of the regular machine. Public disap-
proval OF the MANAGEMENT of the party
had been 80 strong that the leaders
were compelled to retire and the State
Committee was practically broken up
by the retreat of its Hartman.
1t was felt to be necessary to unite
the party. This could not be more eff
fectually done than by admitting the
boiling organizations to seats in the
Convention thus removing the reasons.
real or pretended for the continuance
OF their existence.
This was not done. The doors were
shut In the faces OF the Grace delegates
and the Shepard delegates. The result
will be that while the followers OF those
factions will doubtless vote the Demo-
cratic State ticket. the leaders will re
tain their organizations and seek to de-
feat the Democratic candidates. either
by voting for the Republican machine
and Doodle candidates or by not voting
at all.
1t Is not likely that the Grace or
Shepard faction will put an Independent
Democratic ticket in nomination to show
their strength. But their treatment Mt
Saratoga will make them more anxious
for a combination against Tammany In
this city. and hence will add to the
chances of an overthrow OF the present
local administration and the reform OF
the methods exposed by the Lexow
Committee.
1t Is an Ill wind that blows nobody
good.

Oranges Her Steady Diet.

In order to be healthy and beautiful,
women should make their habitual bev-
erage OF water. into which a lemon Juice

plenty of fruit in all seasons. Oranges

forty years OF her life almost exclusive

Making Red Lips.

Colorless, blue, purple or swollen lips
indicate feeble circulation, weakened
constitution or an anaemic condition of
the system. Shower-baths, spoon foods,
outdoor exercise and the tonic in sea or
country air are the best remedies for
the debilities. Cures for the tintless
lips are numerous enough. though tenn
porary. 1t is bad to bite or suck the
lips, as 1t makes them thick, coarse and
sensitive. There is no harm in rouging
the lips If 1t is done properly too much
or too deep red makes the face vulgar.
The best rouge is the vegetable red OBJ
tanned from cherries, berries, grapes
and beets, although carmine is moro
lasting. Pure carmine and alkanet may
be bought in liquid form, and a rodge
paste made by putting a drop into a bit
of cold cream.

There is nothing choicer than apricots
in the line OF dried fruits. This Callfor-
MIA product is not appreciated at It's real
value. One has to go West to know
how daintily apricots and chops may be
served. Along the Pacific they clean the
fruit with a table brush, stew II in
enough water to cover 1t, and when ten-
der add cup of sugar to a quart of the
sauce. The whole is then boiled until
rich syrup forms. This is delicious with
sweet or whipped cream for dessert:
with beef, mutton, hash or chicken. ana

nice tart, pie or short-cake.

.HOWGATE ARRAIGNEO
The Alleged Embezzler Consents

and entertainments aggregatins about
$3.50 CO., and who was arrested yester-
day after evadlng the authorities since
1881. was this morning taken from
Ludlow Street Jail before United States
District Judge Benedict in the Federal
Building.
Howgate seemed to have recovered
some what from the shock of his arrest.
when arraigned before Commissioner
Alexander yesterday, he looked all shriV-
eled, as II his capture had shrunken him
to about half his normal size. To-day he
appeared to have regained his balance
somewhat, and the change in his appear
ance was quite marked.
He was, however. just as reserved as
yesterday, and declined quietly but posi-
lively to say anything about himself.
When Judge Benedict entered the
Chambers, Howgate looked at him rath-
or curiously. Assistant District Attor-
ney Mott presented the warrants for
Howgate's removal to Washington Tor

He wished to give the prisoner all facili-

Detective Drummond, whose untiring
efforts secured Howgate's arrest, felt
much contented this morning. He said
the Government reward for Howgate's
capture was S, 900 when he escaped In
1851. and the reward had never been re-

Whether he will be recompensed for
