dollars per year to the taxpayers of the
county. A systematic canvass was in

Adulterated Food

To read the list of adulterants that
are frequently used in our common ar
tieles OF daily food, il isenCugh to make
every consumers hair rise in righteous
horror. To know that our bread is an
Ola pOdrida of bean, potato and chest
nut flour, bone dust, clay, plaster of pa
ris, alum and sulphate Of copper that
our butter, even without microbes, re-
solves itself into the factors water, salt,
silicate of sodium, chloride Of calcium,
starch, mashed potatoes, flour, cheese
stuff, ragpulp, gelatine, beef and mutt
ton Suet, aud various other fats, both
animal and vegetable that even the
work Of the busy bee is supplemented
by man with chalk, -four, gelatine,
Mocha" derives its aroma from ehicOry,
roast wheat, peas, beans, acOrns, mang-
elwurzeI, baked liver, sawdust, tan, We
netian red, etc, and our milk confesses
on examination to a large per cent. Of
water, starch and chalk, makes Us feel
that we are suffering under an embar-
rassment Of riches not reekoned on.
The remedy for this wholesale adul-
teration must of necessity lie largely
with the consumers, for as long as they
are willing to accept these unhOly CON-
binations without raising the voice Of
protest, so long they doubtless may.
While every hOusekeepcr cannot keep
a laboratory in running order for daily
analysis Of her food, some simple de-
teetive measures lie within her reach.
Bread made Of wheat flour should be
white, with no acid taste the crumb
should show small, regular cavities,
the walls of which should be tender
no streaks or patches Of heaviness
should be discernible, and at least an
eighth of the loaf should be crust.
For butter, the easiest test Is its melting
point. Pure butter shows signs Of
melting at u degrees beef suet remains
adamant until 3} degrees, and mutton
suet shows no signs of relenting until
s. degrees. The other adulteratiOns
require the aid Of a microscope.
Coffee reveals its true character by
being mOistened and squeezed in the
hand. The pure coffee will not hold
AMI on pressure being remOv-
ed, falls at once into powder. An adul-
terated article may be rolled into CO.
hesive ball. A simple test for the
presence of water in milk is the INNER
sion Of a knitting needle in the liquid.
II the milk elings to the needle, and
drops slowly from the end, it j. pure ;
but if it runs of quickly it has been
mixed with water.

Essence Of Wisdom.

to them al without the least hesita-
ton and with the utmost precision.
What Is the oldest of ali things?
God, because He has always existed.
What Is the most beautiful? The
world, because il i the work Jf God.
What Is the greatest Of all things?
Space, because it contains all that has
been created.
What l. the most constant of all
things? Hope, because it still remains
with man after he has lost everything

What is the best Of all things? Viz

good.
What is the quickes. of all things?

ment it can H. 10 the end Of the uni
verse.
What is the strongest? Necessity,
which makes men face all the dangers
of life.
What is the easiest? To give advice.
What is the most difficult? To know
yourself.
What Is the wisest: Time, for it dis
covers all things.

Her Gala Lily.

y Buffalo woman went 10 California
so spend d winttr She is great lover
of flowers. She has her yard full of
them in the summer and her house
full of them in the winter. Her parti-
cular pride is big Gala. When she
was making up her list of things TO
take to California, she included the
Gala. She read the list to her hus-
band. When she came to the Gala, he
said, "NOw, / wouldn't take that cal
Ia"
"Why nOt?' she asked, with some
asperity. IL never thought so much
Of plant in my life as | do of that
ealla, aud | just know it will be full of
blossoms this winter, aud / wouldn't
miss seeing them and smelling them
for the world
The first letter home contained this
paragraph:
IL must tell you abou. that Gala. 1t
was the greatest bother you ever saw.
| almost wore myself TO a shadow TAX
ing care of il. But / carried it along,
thinking of the lovely blossoms it
would surely have this winter. By the
time | got into California | was sick
and tired Of it and nervous and worried
and all that. But | remembered the
comfort the blossoms would be 20 me
when they came. When / got up on
the morning of the last day, looked
out of the car window, and may |
never see Buffalo again if the train
wasn't running through field of callas
so big that / couldn't sse its limits.
Just sat down and had good cry. To
think that an ordinarily sensible wO-
man should cart % pound pot and
lily 5000 miles just because she wanted
to see it in blossoms, and then find
millions of the same lilies growing
wild in the fields. Ii was enough 10
make an angel weep. Then | took the
calla and threw it Or.t of the ear win

Three Blessings.

An old clergyman who formerly liv-
ed in New Hampshire town was re-
markable for his eccentric modes of
speech. His way of asking blessing
was so peculiar as to sometimes affect
the risib.es Of his guests, although he
apparently was entirely unconscious of
this fact.
When he seated himself ct the break
fast table and saw spread upon il a
meal greatly to his liking, he said,
Word, we thank thee for this exeell-
ent breakfast of which We are TO par
take"
a more simple meal, but one which
he still regarded as comparatively sat
isfac;ory, would cause him to say,
"Lord, we thank thee for this good
breakfast set before u.s."
But when the minister's eye roamed
over the table and saw there nothing
which was especially to his taste, al
though the tone in which he uttered
his petition was not lacking in fervor,
his sentiments were clearly to be dis
covered.
Lord" he invariably said on these
occasions, "fill our hearts with thank
,ulness, we beseech thee, for this meal
set before us; for with thee all things
are possible"

Diseases OF Fowls.

One teaspOonful of liquid earbolie
acid given in two quarts Of water is an
excellent preventive of most diseases
among fowls. One tablespoonful Of
ehlorate of potash in one quart of water
for roup; for little chicks that are weak
in the legs, one teaspOonful of sulpha,e
of soda in one quart of water. For
worms, give ten drops Of alOes or spirits
of turpentine in pint Of water Fer
gapes, add q few drops Ofspirits of cam
phor or turpentine to the drinking
water. For cold OF catarrh, put ten
drops of aconite in a pint of water For
sneexing or running at the nostrils, put
about one tablespoonful of kerosene OH
in one quart of water. Asafoetida tied
up in a rag and placed in the drinking
water for the fowls will be a good rem
dy for rOup, also preventive of most
diseases.

A Family Doctor Says

That the hot pastry and iced drinks
of this country have much 10 do with
the thinness OF its people.
That disordered digestion in adults
is often the outcome of being compelled
OF allowed to eat rich food in childhood.
That the time to pay strict atteRtian
TO bodily health is during the vigorous
portion of life.
That up To- middle life most people
arecareless regarding their physical con
dition, and thus people who ought to
live lcng lives have their days eurtsil-
ed.
That it is great mistake 10 follow
the common practice of dosing infants
with teas, oils and swoetened waters
when any real or imaginary i'll is upon
them.
That for those who hurry to and from
their meals soup is recommended as a
preparatory agent for the reception Of
solid food. For man to rush hurried
ly to his meals and gulp down meat,
vegetables and pie without short in-
terval of rest for the stomach Is nearly
akin to suicide.
That toasting bread destroys the yeast
germs and converts the starch intoa a
soluble substance which is incapable of
fermentation; that dry toast is more
healthful, will not sour the stomach,
nor produce any discomfort, and is,
therefore, more agreeable to weak dt.
gestion than any other bread.
That tCoihoehe caused by cold in
the facial nerves may often be relieved
by wringing sOft cloth out of cold
water aud sprink!ing it with strong
vinegar. This should be laid on the
face like poultiee, and will often be
followed by refreshing sleep.

Tired Locomotives.

"Half the western locomotive engi-
neers have had a heap Of experiences
with tired and spuEky engines Now,
you may laugh at that, but IL is a fact.
I have never had an engine yet that
did not get tired and have 10 goand rest
in tie round house for q day or tao,
when ii would start of just like a
rested coyote" said H. @. Tinsiey, an
old engineer, To II correspondent Of the
Denver Field and Farm. II used to
have an engine on the Iron Mountain
railroad that would get tired just Ike
a child once in a few months, and DO
what we might, coax and tease as best
we could, il would not make time.
Give it a lay-oT in the round house for
two or three days, and how it would
take the bit in its teeth aud just 90.
Once when my engine was getting a
tired spell and / lad been losing time
FOR week, was called up 10 the su-
perinteEdent's office in Little Rock,
Ark.
" How does it come that you are 90
ing so poorly with the loccmotive?'
said be. IT'S the best We have down
this way, and fine one, too'
It's tired, said +, and needs a rest
''Well, yea ought 10 have seen how
that man haw-hawed at me He
thought it one of my jokes. offered
to bet him a suit Of clothes that no one
could get better time cut Of her than J.,
and lie took the bet. He put cid Roger
Adams, a great engineer, by the way,
on in my place one day, and the en-
zine came in half an hour late with
the express train that night. Then 1
begged him TO give TIE machine a SIM
pie rest for three days The superin-
tendent rode in tie cab out Of Little
Rock with me after the rest, and / shall
never forget how surprised he looked
when he saw how the engine slid over
the rails that morning. 4 Eeyer would
have believed it, said he.
II noticed that ne gave lots Of other
engines rests after that. BARRIERS tell
me that their razors get tired the same
way sometimes, and that a rest Of n
few weeks makes them a. good a new.
As rule, the locomotive engineers out
here in the far western States and terri
tories think a good sight more Of their
engines than the eastern engineers DO
o. theirs"
