WINES AND BEER.

A drop of artificially colored wine let
fall into a tumbIer of cold water will
rapidly impart it's color to the water;
genuine wine does not do this so rapid
ly. Another test is to mOisten the fin
gers with wine and rub them briskIy
together, if the wine is artificiaIIy
cOlored, the fingers will be stained, if
genuine they will not. The bitter taste
of beer is often initiated in authorizations
by an infusion of picric acid. To detect
this, heat a cup of beer, made acid by
adding a few drops of vinegar. While
it is still warm, immerse in it a few
strands of white wool yarn, and if pic
rio acid is present the wool will be
dyed yellow

MILK TESTS.

\ quick test of milk is to mix it we'll,
and then pour it from a glass. Pure,
unadultered milk will leave a thick
coating on the inside of the glass, while
watered or skinned milk will run out
cleanly. Good milk should contain u
to 10 per cent. of cream, and the per-
centage of cream can be estimated in
this way: Take a long, narrow bottle,
with capacity of six or eight ounces.
Paste on the outside a strip of paper
half an inch wide, running from the
neck to the bottom of the bottle; divide
this trip by pencil marks into 10 equal
parts; fill the bottle to the five mark
with milk, and then to the top of the
paper with water at heat which will
just allow the hand to be inserted with
out causing pain, and to which as much
soda has been added as would cover
the end of a penknife Shake well to
mix thoroughly, and place in an ice
box. In half an hour observe how
much cream has risen, and measure
this off on piece of paper; double this
distance and then see what part of the
total length of the paper strip on the
bottle this is. If it is one-twentieth,
the milk only contains per cent. of
cream, if one-tenth, then it contains 10
per cent, if one-fifth, then it contains
20 per cent, and so on.
TESTING WATER.
A sure safeguard against i'll effects
from contaminated water, and especi-
ally useful in the country or at sum-
mer resorts, is the addition of five
drops of peroxide of hydrogen to the
water a few minutes before drinking
it. The liquid is obtainable at any
drug store, is absolutely harmless,
tasteless and cOlOrless. It's addition to
the water only breaks it up into active
oxygen and water, the former killing
whatever germs of disease may be pre-
sent in the water. This method is
equally efficaciOus and much more con-
venient than the ordinary way of boil
ing suspected water to destroy possible
germs. If u few drops of solution of
sugar are placed in a glass of suspect
ed water and the glass is covered and
put in a warm place, the water, if it
is contaminated, will become cloudy
and deposit sediment after a few
hours.

PURE SUGAR.

The chief foreign ingredient in aduI-
terated sugar, nowadays, is starch; to
detect it's presence a drop of tincture
Of iodine in a teaspoonful Of water ap-
piled to the suspected sugar will cause
blue color to appear if starch or -four
is mixed with the sugar. This test can
be successfully used with any sub
stance in which starch appears as an
adulterant. To detect sand or other
adulterant that is not soluble, dissolve
a tablespoonful of sugar in a bottle
containing four or six ounces of water.
Allow it to stand "a hours, and the sed-
iment, if any, which falls to the bot
tom Of the bottle, will show the char
acter of the adulterant. If there is
sand the sediment will feel gritty to
the touch; if there is carbonate of lime
it will give off bubbles Of gas when
a few drops Of vinegar are added, and
the sediment is moved.
