community Of Tristan d.Acunha, where
they have no law, no property, no
crime, no immortality. In his care for
the motley people under his charge he
must for the moment set aside every
religious, social and moral progresses
sion. Himself Christian, he must
Tor the time be the guardian OF Budd-
has tooth. In one of his territories he
Is ex-officlo a prohibitionist; in another
he depends for his income on gin alone.
At Malta he runs Italian opera, at
Heligoland, till the Germans got 1t, he
used to run opera bouffe. The duties
OF a colonial minister are not too techi-
cal, and their variety Is their charm.
They are Just the duties which the cum
ming tory prime minister would select
to distract from burning controversies
as far as possible the alert, combative,
ambitious and powerful leader of the
liberal unionists in the lower house.
Mr.. Chamberlain likes them. He Is
for the time the most conspicuous fig
ure in the colonial empire, its very
heart and center. All colonial roads
lead to or through London. There are
more colonists in London every day Of
the year than in Montreal and Mel
bourne. 1t would never do to appoint
to the office man with a turn for
sociology. There Is no telling what
eccentricities of evolution he might
wish 10 transplant to England. But
Mr.. Chamberlain Is not troubled by
special scientific ties. and he will prove
a colonial minister who will not attract
to himself the enmity Of any section Of
the British colonies, but on the con-
tary, will prove strong centralizing
and federating force.
The colonial Office cannot, however,
mOnopolize his attention. With him
politics Is not only the supreme object.
but the one dominating aim of exist
ence. To that aim everything else Is
subordinated. He makes no secret Of
the fact that he cares little for society,
though his American wife continues to
keep him in 1t. The ambition of his
life Is to be prime minister Of England.
In the inevitable reorganization Of par
ties which the next decade will witness
he may attain his desire. He has all
the qualifications for high Office, and
as much will, courage and persistency
as the younger Pitt. The cartoonists
love to portray him with his monoc-
ular eyeglass and buttonhole cluster Of
orchids, but they recognize in him an
English statesman after the most ap-
proved pattern Of the last quarter Of
the Nineteenth century-flrst rate as q
man OF business, prompt, inQuisitive.
resourceful, appreciative Of humor and
light in hand.
into such a sketch Of the colonial Sec
retary Of state an Irish nationalist
would throw number Of less attrac-
tive traits. But neither Mr. Chamber
lain nor the Irish nationalist is to be
accepted as an authority concerning
the other.

SCARCITY OF PURE FOOD.

Thomas Martindale, the Phuadel-
phia grocer. says, apropos of the new
pure food law" lately enacted at Har-
risburg: "No first-class grocer wants
to handle goods that are injurious to the
health of the public. II the goods are
adulterated even with harmless mix
lures, and the customer buys them
knowingly, and the price Is in accord
ance with the quality OF the article
sold, no harm could come of 1t. Take.
for instance. Coleman's mustard. which
is the standard mustard used In this
country. 1t IL an adulterated article
under the new law. inasmuch as 1t con-
tains -four; otherwise 1t would not keep.
II label is placed In the package stat
ing that the article Is a compound and
contains so many parts of pure mustard
and so many parts of -four, the public
will buy it, just the same, and they VIII
know exactly what they are purchas-
ing. This same thing holds good In
many other cases which are too num-
erous to mention. 1t Is impossible to
sell strictly pure goods. They do not
necessarily need to be adulterated with
injurious compounds; but a harmless
adulteration Is necessary, inasmuch as
poor people could not afford to buy
strictly straight goods. All cheap
coffees contain q fair percentage of
chicory. This Is not Injurious II not
used to excess.
-:ll:-
Pepper is another Of the many class
Of goods which are adulterated. Pure
spices are very high in price, and a
large number of housekeepers will not
buy the pure article on this account.
Pepper Is frequently adulterated with
bread roasted brown and ground, and
also with some kinds of flour also
Drowned. This Is not Injurious; but In
the future the purchaser will know
what he Is getting. i have no doubt
INSCRIPTIONS dealers sell adulterated
articles of this kind for pure, and In
the future 1t will be misdemeanOr pun
ishable by law. Catsups, pickles and a
great number of canned goods contain
salicylic acid to keep them from spoil
ing. This acid Is dangerous to the
health and our firm in the future will
not handle goods In which salicyllc or
like acids are used. Other grocers will
do likewise, and in this way as in many
other cases the public will be benefited.
A large catsup manufacturer Informed
us the other day that they had
method OF making catsup without acids
by German process which IL q secret,
but In which sterilization plays prom
inent part.

Of currant Juice and sugar. It may be
called 'currant jelly.s II the article con-
tains, e. all cheap jelilss do. . mixture

THE MISSIONS PROBLEM.
Eugene Field. In Chicago Record.

Eugene Field, In Chicago Record.
The derision now expressed by the
Chinese toward Christian missionaries
and their work reminds us of what We
have heard II. l.. Garner tell OF his OBJ
servation of missionary work in Africa.
Garner visited the western coast Of
Africa for the purpose of pursuing GER
| tain scientific researches; his work
brought him necessarily In contact with
the natives. SO he had an excellent op-
portunity to learn from the heather
themselves their views of the actual
| condition of missionary work in the
midst of them.
"Undoubtedly," says Mr.. Garner,
"there are conversions which are gen.
uine. but the number of these Is alb
surdly small when compared with the
number of those conversions which are
professed simply for the purpose OF
temporal profit. Let me give you an
Illustration of the way in which those
Africans play the missionary folk. A
rative lad has been taken In hand by \
missionary, who treats him kindly and
by degrees educates him. as he fondly
imagines. up TO II point where he IL
capable of understanding certain fun
damental religious truths. The mis-
sionary then suggests that he be bap-
tized, to which proposition the lad ad-
mits he would gladly accede Were 1t not
for a certain sense of shame he feels
when he thinks Of appearing at the
ceremony in the wretched rags which
serve as his only wearing apparel. The
missionary respects this feeling and
provides against 1t by giving the fellow
some decent clothing, strip of linen,
suit of panjamas or bolt of print
calico. as the case may be. His mental
reservations having been overcome in
this way, the lad Is baptized
and his case Is recorded among chose
other conversions which will duly be
reported to the missionary society
across the ocean.
