Dangerous Foods.

The suggestion has been recently made that the alarming prevalence of the disease known as appendicitis is due to the common use of certain danger ous preparations of flour ,s&ais directs attention to the prevalence of adulter- ations in our food products, and the work which has recently been done in different states by local food commits sions. According to a report of the Ohio food commission mentioned iR the Outlook, crusade was instituted against the grocers of the state for sell ing fraudulent articles It was found that they were commonly selling vim egar that was chemical compound, jellies and jams with but small per centage of fruit in them, lemonade made without any lemons, but with tartaric acid, and so on. They then moved on the druggists, who were sell ing tonics that were mere connections of alcohol; 'predigested" foods that were dangerous to the system, and tab lets purporting to contain certain med icines, when only the merest trace of such drugs could be found in them. There are hundreds of articles of house. hold use which are now prepared in this fraudu lent way. A few vigorous commi ssions to look into them and prosecute the makers and sellers would be of lasting benefit to the race.

THE death of Czar Alexander has, ac- cording to report from the capital, brought the Russian minister and the members of the Washington legation into unusual prominence of late. Many stories are told of the peculiari- ties of Prince Cantacuzene, who, since coming to this country, has led very quiet life. His wife, it seems, died at the birth of their only child, eighteen years ago. Since that time no one has been allowed to take her place at the table. On state occasions no plate is laid opposite the host, and in everyday life, although the plate and chair are there, no one is suffered to use them. The daughter, Princess Mary Cantacu- gene, is very much devoted to the study of art, at which she works diligently every day at the Corcoran school.

The Cracker-BarreI solomon.

The oracle of the village grocery is a familiar figure in rural fiction, If not in actual rural life. He has his city counterpart, but not in the grocery. The oracle of the neighborhood, in one city at least, keeps his tripod in the drug store. Everybody knows that drug store Is incomplete without its
 telephone and its directory, although not everybody has the grace to be thankful to the drug stores for the free and ungrudging courtesy with which the public at large is allowed to s.helpl itself' to these commodities. The oracle is not exactly as necessary to the completeness of the drug store as these two time-savers, neither is he pro- vided by the proprietor. He provides himself for the benefit of those who1 find the drug store a pleasant loung- ing place, and his function is to kill time, not to save 1t. But his rarest and most precious use is to indicate to those who happen in during the prog ress of his discourse the drift of local popular thought at the time.

 A Strange Legal Tang1c.

It may be safely said that the case of the state o{ North Carolina against Hall, in an opinion of the supreme court, has had no parallel, says a re- cent Raleigh dispatch. Deputy Sheriff Hall, standing just on this side of the state line, fired and killed Andrew Brison, prisoner who was escaping into Tennessee. Hall was tried and con vieted of murder in North Carolina. On appeal this was reversed on the ground that, s.in contemplation of the law" Hall was in Tennessee when the kill ing was done. He was then arrested and held as a fugitive from justice. The governor of Tennessee sent for Hall on acquisition. Hall applied for discharge, but Judge Below refused to discharge him. He then applied to the supreme court, and the court, by majority of one, decided he must be discharged, because not having been in Tennessee at the time of the kill ing he cannot be fugitive from jus tice Justice McRae joins in the dis sent on the ground that if, in contem- plation of law, Hall was in Tennessee at the time of the killing, so that he cannot be tried in North Carolina, in the same contemplation of law he must be fugitive from justice, for he ean- not now be found in Tennessee, but In North Carolina.

OREGON has long been celebrated as the land of big red apples and red- checked children, and the supply of both is pretty well maintained. Some do more in keeping up the record than others, says Portland paper, but Q couple on the east side, Jarrett by name, have, it is believed, broken the record for Oregon and are probably world beaters. They have five living children born to them within period of one year. The triplets, two. boys and girl, are about three years of age, and the twins, boy and girl, are less than a year younger. MT. and Mrs. Jarrett came from Missouri to this state.

ONE of the dirtiest trades followed in this country, we are informed, is that of the weaver of rush chair bot toms. A we1l-made rush bottom will last long time, and the demand is not great for such chairs, though their use is reyiving. The rushes come to the weaver still soiled with some of their native ooze, dry and dirty. The preparation for the work requires the wetting and twisting of the rushes, and In this process muddy streams are wrung out, which triclsle over the hands of the worker, and make dirty puddles on the floor It is just possi- ble that malaria germs turk In the rushes.

Hoo ISLAND, on the Virginia coast. was once bought for three thousand dollars by New Yorker who expected to send the cedar timber of the island to New York for use in ship building, but found the venture unprofitable be- cause of the cost of transportation. The timber in question was laid bare by the encroachment of the sea upon sand dunes that had buried old wood- lands. The wood thus resurrected was far more valuable than growing tim Der.
