Adulterated Rice.

It seems almost incredible that so
cheap and common an article Of food
as rice chould be adulterated. Yet it
is true that rice is sold on the market
which has undergone process for Civ
ing it color. The articles used are oil
and paraAin. The parafin is made
from petroleum and is used for many
purposes besides making candles-for
instance, to give fine laundry work a
polish.
The objection to the use Of these
oily substances to polish rice is the
fact that they soak into the grain and
make it hard. It requires more time
to cook through, and even then it will
be hard. The reason they are used is
because people buy things that look
nice, and rice looks nice when it has
been oiled.
There is law IN Germany requiring
those who treat rice in this improper
manner to label it coil fnish," or
"parafin finish. But rice that is ex-
ported is not marked.
The Legislature, on the initiative Of
Mr.. Dymond, enacted by unanimous
vote law, which goes into effect to-
morrow, which makes the use of par
afin in the cleaning of rice or prepar-
ing it for market illegal. The punish
ment for such adulteration is fine or
imprisonment, in the discretion Of
the Court.
The use Of legislation for the repres-
sion Of food adulteration is both legiti-
mate and popular. 1t is extending be-
cause in our days science is continually
discovering new ways of initiating or
adulterating natural products.
The treatment Of rice with oil or
parafin is dishonest, because it in
creases the weight Of the grain, and
you are paying for oil when you think
you are buying rice. Itis also deleteri-
Gus to health, because in the cooking
the grain becomes hard and less
digestible.
In making this particular form Of
food adulteration a misdemeanor, the
Legislature has taken step in the
right direction.-Ne,0 Orleans Times

Lawyer and Expert.

Judah Philip Benjamin, who was at
torney general of the Southern coz
federacy, and afterwards member Of
the English bar, is said by his biogra
piers to have had great power in ap-
plying "the theory Of the law to daily
practice" !" The Fortnightly Review
lately reported an instance Of his
shrewdness and convincing logic:
He was counsel for plaintiff who
owned cargo of cotton, and claimed
damages against a Liverpool ware
houseman, who had accepted it to be
warehoused at stipulated rent. The
warehouse, it was said was old, and
the walls and roof gave way, in conse-
quence of which the cotton was dam
aged.
The defendant spared no expenses in
procuring witnesses of the class known
as "experts, upon whose evidence,
rightly or wrongly, SO many cuasstic
remarks have been made by judges
and others.
One after another these men came
into the box, with the full confidence
Of vast experience-architects build
ers, engineers, warehousemen, and all
who could assist in demonstrating to
the jury that no stronger or more per-
feet warehouse had ever been con-
structed.
At last, by way Of climax, came a
gentleman whose great prestige and
combined experience as both architect
and engineer eclipsed that Of all who
had preceded him. He gave his evi-
dence in that calm and measured tone
which demands acquiesence from all
who hear it. and explained the impos-
sibility Of the accident having occurred
in consequence Of any improper con-
struction or want Of repair.
'While this was going on, Mr.. Ben
jamin sat taking a note in solemn
gravity; then he rose to cross-exam-
inc the Witness
I think, sir, you said you had had
great experience in the building Of
warehouses;"
eyes"
And that you have carefully con-
sidered the causes which lead to their
weakness?"
Certainly"
"And you have applied those con-
siderations to the present case?''
II have done So.
"Then you will kindly answer me
one more question? Why did that
warehouse fall?'
The witness paused, and Benjamin,
with pleasant twinkle in his eye, sat
down with almost bump on his seat.
The pause continued, and the effect
Of it was so striking that jurymen,
bystanders and all could not resist a
hearty laugh, which terribly diminish
ed the effect Of a long and reasoned
reply which the expert finally went on
to give.
"Thank you" said Benjamin. "I
have no more questions with which to
trouble you.'
The result was irresistible, and no
ingenuity on the part Of the learned
counsel for the defendant could re-
trieve the lost ground. The verdict
was for the plaintiff.-Ne,o Yorh;

Animals, it is known, recover from
wounds more easily than men do. Yet
Lord Ebrington states that on Exmoor
deer bitten by one of the large
hounds almost never RECEIVERS. The
wound is almost invariably mortal,
and the animal wastes and dies. But
when large dog loses self-control the
injuries inflicted are fearful. Chill
dren are the usual victims Of these
brutes. Every year sees one or two
accounts of children crippled for life
BY such attacks. Quite recently q
case was reported in which savage
dog had been handed over to another
person for sale. This creature bit a
child so badly as to MAIN her for life.
Thirty-six bites were inflicted on its
poor little body. In cases which have
come under the writer's notice the
bites were always in the leg. -Four
deep holes into which pencil might
be pushed and bad bruise were the
immediate result, followed by intense
Inflammation, supporation and pain.

of poisoning from the bite Of non

at the Zoo. 1t is well known that
