Food Adulteration.

tits very reassuring to learn, through
DR.. Wiley, chemist of the United
States department of agriculture, that
sugar is not, as generally supposed,
aduterated with sand. Granulated
and lump sugars are almost absolute
ly pure, Powdered sugars sometimes
contain flour or starch, and low grade
sugars are impure simply through the
molasses and matter they are made
to absorb in manufacture. With
sirups there is danger. There is very
little pure maple sirup, most of what
is sold as such being mixture of
glucose or cane sirups with small
proportion of the product of the
maple, while in an imitation actually
protected by a patent the maple
flavor is given by an extract Of hickory
bark. Liquid honey is largely adulter-
ated with glucose. Comb honey in
bottles and jars is impure. The old
impression that comb honey on the
frame is adulterated was proved to be
erroneous. Ground coffee is so largely
adulterated with chicory, peas, beans,
etc, that it is rarely fosnd pure, and
even the lnground berry is initiated.
Tea is rarely mixed with foreign
leaves, bat frequently has its weight
increased by the addition of salts of
iron and copper-materials quite pre-
judicial to health. Cocoa and choco-
late are largely adulterated 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.

UNABLE TO GET MARRIED.
THEY WERE COUSINS AND COULD NOT
FIND A WILLING CLERGYMAN.

Ludwig Henry Vean Josqueen,
who came all the way from Crefeld,
Germany, with his intended bride
Mrs. Julia Starr, hoping that he might
be allowed to marry her here, has
been disappointed again, and must
go back to Germany, under the order
of immigration Commissioner Rogers.
Josqueen and Mrs. Starr are first
cousins, and after clergymen in Ger.
many, Switzerland, Belgium and
Holland had refused to marry them,
they came here on the American
Line steamer Pennsylvania to make
another attempt at marriage. They
spent all their money travelling about
Europe in their endeavors to get
welded, and when they landed here
they had only IS cents The immi-
grafton authorities considered this too
small capital for them to start married
life with and they will have to 60
back to Europe.

The Sale of Horse Flesh,

The State of Indiana is the first
State in the Union which attempts to
legislate against the sale of horse flesh
as an article of food. A bill has been
introduced in the legislature, which,
if passed, will impose fine of $500
on any persons so offending. 1t is
doubtful if any such enactment is
constitutional, for citizens can eat
pretty much what they like, so long
as it is not poisonous or adulterated.
What is requisite in the case of
horse flesh is that the industry "
should come under the jurisdiction Of
the Bureau of Animal Industry. 1t
does not pay to slaughter young horses
for human food !; therefore horses
which are cut up are old and decrepit
and in many cases diseased with
glanders, complaint which can be
conveyed to mankind.
Persons operating in this business,
when taken to task, invariably say
that their products are for export, but
there is shrewd suspicion that they
are worked off on the home market
occasionally. Indiana has shown a
good example by taking the subject
by the forelock. National Pro-
UiSiOner.

A POPULAR FALLAOY.
No Foundation for the Belief That the Hair
Grows After Death.

What seems to belong to gross and
sheer credulity is the belief entertain,
ed to-day that hair will grow after
death. In recent English magazine
of good standing, an account is given
of a photograph, showing the head of
ga young Roman lady," supposedly
of the time OF Constantine. The
whole body, so the magazine printed
it, had been incased in plaster Of paris,
and the reader was requested to be.
leve that the hair of that "young
Roman lady" had grown right through
the plaster of paris. An encyclopedia
of comparatively recent date makes
the same statement, that hair "will
grow after DEATH This is sheer
nonsense. If the hair grows on a
corpse, why not then the finger nails,
the teeth? Is it not self-evident that
when the particular nutriment brought
to the roots of the hair by the blood
ceases through death, all growth is
forever arrested? ? This growth of
hair is another of those popular errors
which is SO hard to kill. 1t arises un-
doubtedly from the indestructible
character of the hair, because under
favorable circumstances the hair of a
mummy is fairly sound to-day, after
its wearer has been dead some thou
sands of years. The idea that hair
will grow on corpse is not found In
any book on anatomy.

JAMES H. MERCER, P. M
FLAYED, THEN BURNED.
HORRIBLE STORY OF CRIME AND PUNISH
MENT OF THE PERPETRATORS.

ELLAvILLE, Fla, May 2o.-Miss
Name Armstrong, the daughter of a
prominent farmer, left her home six
davs ago to spend the night with a
neighbor, who lived about two miles
distant. The next day Miss Arm
strong's father went to the house oi
the neighbor to bring his daughter
home, and was surprised and alarmed
to hear that nothing had been seen ol
her. Mr. Armstrong alarmed the
neighbors and searched for the missing
girl.
The searchers found the corpse OF
Miss Armstrong in clump of bushes
in the woods. The body of the girl
was in a horrible condition. Every
shred of clothing had been torn off,
and she had been assaulted.
The lower limbs had been torn
apart, her head crushed and her
throat cut. 1t was evident that the
girl had made a desperate fight, for
under her nails were found pieces of
black cuticle, which she had torn from
her assailants.
After caring for the mangled corpse,
the enraged whites began search for
the perpetrators of the deed. AS
they approached the home of Sam
Echols, the negro ran out and started
for the woods, but was stopped with a
bullet, which wounded him slightly
The negro was examined and his face
found to be scratched. Threatened
with instant death, he confessed that
he, with Sim Crowley and John Brooks,
committed the crime. Echols said
that they kept the girl twenty four
hours before killing her. Most of the
time Miss Armstrong was unconscious.
Having secured the negroes imph-
Gated by Echols, the white men took
them to a dense swamp on the
Suwanee river, where they were
tortured. Just what manner Of death
was meted out to the negroes is not
positively known, but it is reported
they were flayed alive and then burn
ed.
The scene Of the crime and triple
lynchings is near large phosphate
mines, in which are employed many
negroes of the worst class. Assaults
on white women have been frequent,
and within six months, twelve negroes
have been lynched in that vicinity.

A GOOD INDICATION.

Medical practitioners of promin
ence are prescribing for the cure o.
diseases springing from arrangement
of the digestive organs, Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. This
professional endorsement is justified
by the fact that no other preparation
has been found so efficacious in that
class of disorders even in the most
advanced and severe cases. 1t has
cured gravel in the kidneys, stone in
the bladder and inflammation of the
kidneys, where all other medicines
had failed. 1t can be purchased OF
any druggist. A book is wrapped
about each bottle, explaining its use.

Dunkirk, N. Y, May 1s-Frost
ruined the entire grape crop of the
Chautauqua grape belt. The loss is
at least $1,000, 900, and one leading
grape grower says it is $4,000, 600.
The former is the value of last years
crop, and by reason of new acreage
coming into bearing the crop this year
would have been much larger.
The Chautauqua grape belt extends
from Erie County southwark to Lake
Erie. The vines were loaded down
with blossom buds last evening. To-
day, from one end of the belt to the
other, the vineyards are nothing but
blackened ruins, and have the appear
ance of having been visited by fire.
Three thousand, six hundred freight
car loads of grapes were shipped from
the belt last season. The total num-
Der OF baskets reached 10000, 900. To
this number 5,ooo,o 900 might be safely
added for increased acreage this year.
Other fruit suffered nearly as much.
There will be no cherries.
Gerry Ryckman, the millionaire
grape owner and wine manufacturer,
says the loss in the belt by reason of
the destruction done to the grapes
will reach at least S., 900, 600. His
own loss he estimates at $25o, 900.
Ice formed last night three eighths
of an inch thick on still water, and
vegetation was frozen stiff.
Lockport, N. Y, May I3.-The
thermometer registered as low as aS
last night. Fruit and vegetables suffer-
ed In Niagara County, and the damage
will reach thousands of dollars. Grape
vines were stripped of their leaves.
Fruit trees in blossom were damaged,
and it is feared that crops will be
small. Cabbage, tomatoes and other
garden plants will have to be set over
again.
