IMPURITIES IN FOOD.
They Are Not as Common as Many Persois
May Suppose.

May Suppose.
Singularly exaggerated ideas concern
ing the adulteration of food are very
generally held, according to DR.. 81. 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 in
the market are almost absolutely pure,
powdered sugar sometimes, though rare
", contains little -four or starch, and
low grade sugars are impure chiefly
through the molassas and water they
are made to absorb in manufacture.
q Not as good a report can be given OF
sirups. There is very little pure maple
strip, most of what is sold as such be-
ing mixture of glucose or cane sirups,
with small proportion Of the product
of the maple, while in an imitation &C.
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 Oh the frame is adulterated hay
ing been proved to be erroneous.
Ground coffee is SO largely adulterat-
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 adul-
terated with starch and sugar, and
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 the use
of adulterated tin, which may contain
as high as 10 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 personalities, such as sail
cylic acid, is not without risk, while an
occasional source of danger is the devel-
opment of heterogeneous bodies called
ptomaines 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.

NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
The Sign Manual of the Child That Doe
Not Change In Life.

The Sign Manual of the Child That Does
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 is no duplicate OF
it among the teeming pillows in the
world. Look at the insides of your
hands and the soles of your feet; closely
examine the ends of your fingers. You
see circles and curves and arches and
whorls, some prominent with deep cor
rugations, others minute and delicate,
but all we'll defined and closely traced
pattern. There is your physiological
signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger nails OH piece of clear
glass. You see all the 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 ex-
cept ACKNOWLEDGMENT can obliterate or
disguise them. Criminals may burn and
scar their hands, but nature, when she
restores the cuticle, invariably brings
back the natal autograph. Louisville

Cinnamon and Cholera.

A decoction Of cinnamon is recon-
mended as drink to be taken freely in
localities where there is typhoid fever
or cholera, for cinnamon has the power
to destroy all infectious microbes. Even
its scent kills them, while it is perfectly
harmless to human beings. 1t is said
that the essence of cinnamon, when ex-
posed in the sickroom, will kill typhoid
bacilli in IL hours and prevent fresh
cases.-Kansas City Times.

THE WRONG MEDICINE
Given and She Died In Great AgOny-A
Case of Local Interest.

The Springfield Republican of Sat
urday contained an account of the
death of Mrs. Lizzie l.. Trench, who
died at the Elm street house in West
field, Mass, the Wednesday previous.
Mrs. Trench is quite well known in
town as the sister of Miss Jennie Eos
kilt, the lady artist at the Dunklee
& Co., studio, and besides visiting
quent visitor with relatives in Putney
and Vernon. Her death was due to
poison, which was administered to
her by her physician, DR.. Cowles, by
mistake. A week ago Sunday she cal
led to see DR.. Cowles at her Office, and
the doctor sent out to drug store for
bottle of boracic acid and another
of bichloride of mercury. The doctor
gave the woman as she supposed an
application of the former and Mrs.
Trench left the office. DIR. Cowles said
that as the woman left the room she
wore troubled expression which gave
the doctor some anxiety. 1t continued
to worry her., and later she went to
the house TO see if everything was all
right. There Mrs. Trench was found
suffering great pam. She says it was
not discovered till this time that the
bichloride of mercury had been given
in place of the boracic acid. The
doctor did everything possible to re
lieve Mrs, Trench and was in constant
attendance night and day up to the
time Of her death. The poison had
been too thoroughly absorbed, how
ever, and death was caused by this
medium. The doctor admitted that
last evening. The question that now
comes up is who is to blame for the
mistake. The doctor claims that it
was made by the clerk in mixing the
labels on the bottle. The funeral was
held Friday at O'Clock in the Metho
dist church. Mrs. Trench leaves two
sisters, Miss Jennie Foskitt of this
place and Mrs Joseph Woodland of Yer
non who attended the funeral.
