Anti-CoIor Law and Trade Journals.

<tht oAo ~" - ~ OooAh
Rural New Yorker: Some of the city
papers are very much concerned over
the fact that the state of Illinois has
prohibited manufacturers Of butterine
from coloring their stuff in imitation
of butter. Bradstreet's, of New York
City, wound up a long editorial on the
subject as follows:
Politics in other states-for that is
about all there is in it-has induced
legislatures to prohibit the production
Of a cheap, heaithful, commercial ar
ticle, when restrictive laws as to it's
sale should have been ample to prevent
fraud, and thus throw the excess de-
mand into the hands of dairy butter
makers. The latter are we'll meaning
people, but are as susceptible to desires
TO acquire dollars as anyone else. 1t
would be interesting to hear them,
their periodicals or attorneys, tell why
the manufacture or sale of pure hog
and beef-fat butter, colored or uncol-
name of its own, not as butter. This is
even worse than burning down the
house to roast the pig"
OF course, every nan has a right to
his own opinion as to the value and
healthfulness of bogus butter. We do
not believe the editor OF Bradstreet's
would eat the stuff himself in any
event. His paper is a high-priced sheet
with a specially for trade and market
reports. 1t has a characteristic form
and appearance Of its own. Suppose
thu PIrol Maui Vnrlyar uynra tn oat out
a paper with cheap and stale market
news, and copy Bradstreet's name and
appearance as closely as possible. With
in an hour, every force of the law would
be operated to stop such work. For
many years, farmers have been max
ing butter with a characteristic yellow
color. This color has distin guished
butter from tallow, lard and other
grease. Manufacturers undertake to
color the cheaper fats in imitation oil
butter, and then sell them at butter
prices. At first 1t was a clear case OF
counterfeiting. At last, in an effort to
prevent fraud, avs for regulating the
manufacture and sale of this bogus but
ter were passed. They have not been
entirely satisfactory, and will not be
81 iouS DIS udnuldclureT cdn coior the
cheap fats in imitation of butter. We
cannot object to the sale of hog OF
beef fat uncolored and under a name
Of its own. This would be the best
possible thing for those who desire
cheap food for the poor, for the uncol-
ored fat would be several cents pei
pound cheaper, and just exactly as val
liable as food. Permission to use the
yellow color Is an injustice to the poor
since 1t makes them pay more for thu
food.

Hotels and Oleo.-Michigan has a
law for the protection of butter makers
which imposes a penalty for coloring
butterine in imitation of pure butter.

enforced, and it Is said that he has been

state that his zeal in the matter will
arouse the wrath of more than a thou

not for him. 1t is very safe to infer
that any hotel man who makes a fight
on that ground will lose enough paying
customers to meet many times the diff
ference between the cost of butterine
and butter. Every state should have
laws preventing any vendors of food
from substituting limitations, whether
sold across a counter or on the table

Metallic Cheese.-Metallic cheese is a
discovery of the public analyst at Shelf
field. 1t is a compound literally forth
fed with crystallized sulphate of zinc,
which enables a round of cheese to
preserve for a long period a fresh and
youthful complexion, no unsightly
cracks and swellings appearing on its
surface to excite the suspicious of timid
buyers. The zinc preparation is known
in the trade as cheese spice-a title as
little warranted as it would be to call
a handful of tin lacks shrimp sauce or
salad dressing. 1t appears that in Can

should prove especially interesting to

Spanish Proverbs.

It is interesting 10 note the Eng
lish equivalents for Spanish proverbs.
When we say, "He is not worth his
salt, they zay, "He is not worth his
ears full Of water" essentially the
proyerb Of thirsty nation.
When we cay, lyon want the earth,
their equivalent is, "That is to expect
the wolf TO leave meat at your door.
"One mans meat is another mans
poison" is rendered in Spanish, "What
cured Sancho made Martha sick.
"Out of the frying pan into the
FIRE" with them is, Escaping the bull
be fell into the brook.
When we are i'll we allude to our
condition in the words, "As sIck as a
dog" where the spaniard says. "As
ack az Jew on Saturday" proyerb
used in the days when the Hebrew had
to feign illness to avoid the transac.
tion Of business on his Sabbath.

How Spain Lost Gibraltar.

Gibraltar was taken by the English
in l7O4, during the war Of the Span
ish succession, war which was pro-
voked' by the aggressive policy of
France in endeavoring to place mon
arch of the French family upon the
Spanish throne and thus consolidate
the two kingdoms into one. The fort
ress was then captured, almost by sur
prise, though the Spaniards and
French, approaching the strategic val
ue of the place, made desperate efforts
to recover it, hut were repulsed at
every point. Between the date of its
capture and 1879, repeated efforts
were made by Spain to recover the
fortress, and in the latter year the
greatest armament that was ever
brought to bear upon besieged place
lay before Gibraltar. The siege lasted,
off and on, for many months. The
investing force comprisedl2, 900 troops
of France, over twice as many Of the
best infantry of Spain, and the fleet
consisted of Al ships, all three-deck-
ers, 10 great floating batteries, es-
teemed invincible, carrying 2l2 guns
innumerable frigates, bomb-ketches,
cutters, gun and mortar boats. For
weeks together over 5000 shells day
were thrown into the town and repeat
ed attempts were made to storm the
works, but the little garrison Of only
1000 men repelled every assault and
finally succeeded in beating off the
allied fleet. The blockade began June
q, I779, and lasted until February,
1898, when the garrison was finally
relieved by the arrival Of British
feet and army. Since that time the
Notifications of Gibraltar have been so
improved and increased that it is re-
garded the strongest fortress in the
world. The British government main
tains there a garrison Of from 5000 to
10000 men, with provisions for six
months, and it is said the supply of
military material is sufficient to enable
the fortress to stand siege of indef-
mite length.

Baptized In a Stolen Suit.

A dispatch from sylvanis, Ga, says:
A negro man named Jim Brown was
arrested last week and is now in jail
here on a very unique charge II seems
that at some revival services held in
the county recently Jim got religion,
joined the church and had the day APP
pointed for his baptism. As the time
drew near he found that he had no
clothes good enough for such an occa-
sion, and not being able to buy any,
he solved the difficulty by relieving
one Of bis neighbors Of good suit
without the latter's knowledge or con-
sent. Thus arrayed, he sought the APP
pointed place, where the preacher and
large congregation were assembled,
and was led down into the water. In
the meantime, however, the other fell
low who had lost the clothes hastened
10 get out warrant, and be and the
officer appeared upon the scene just as
jim and the preacher were coming out
Of the water The fellow swore TO the
clothes and 80 jim was arrested on the
spot and brought to Jail. His Chris
tian career was Of short duration, but
he at least succeeded in making a good
appearance in the water, and no doubt
thinks it hard that a fellow should
have to suffer for stealing a suit 70 be
used in such good cause.

CUBA-AN IMPROMPTU.
I BY D. W. BORDER.

= BY d. W. BORDER.
For centuries past, fair Cuba's Isle,
By cruel Spain oppressed,
Has suffered much, though patient, while
Her sister isles were blessed.
From time to time she drew her sword
And fought with courage true
To drive away the fendish horde
That nought but carnage knew.
She struggled hard 'gainst fearful odds
Her liberty to gain,
Her foes like zealots of heathen gods
Did lawful rights restrain.
Two years She fought like heroes brave
Mid storm and death and fever's blight,
Her blessed land she could not save
Nor Spanish butchers put to flight.
All through the time of months and years
Old and young were dying for bread,
Homes dishonored for virtue no tears,
By demons who by fends were led.
The cry for food goes up on high,
Appeal for life brings no relief
Virtue stands with plying eye,
But all is horror, crime and grief.
GreatGod how long shall such things be
Is there no friend to stem the food?
Is Christ so far He cannot face
His dusky children bathed in blood?
Have faith, sweet isle, there Cometh One,
Fight on and wait, thy help is near,
Soor the words, servant we'll done,
I'll deliver thee, have no fear.
God alone hath heard thy groans,
Thy prayers have reached the golden
throne,
40 longer mercy shall hear thy means
Nor Spanish hate in Cuba known.
III send thee her, whose name love,
To strip the shacklcs from thy feet,
To give food ard peace, like the dove,
And freedom too, thy soul shall greet.
Fair Columbia is her name,
She lives close by, is brave ard strong,
Thy chosen vessel, foes to tame,
The distance short, the time not long.
Sampson and Schley are OH their way,
And Shafter coming with his braves,
Their fleets will turn your night to day
And bring her armies DER the waves.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him We Cubans high and low,
Garcia, Gomez and all the van,
Give God the glory, every man.
Cuba free Port Rico too!
The Spaniard sent on to his doom,
Dewey at Cavitc true,
The proud Castillian sinks i'll gloom.
Manila ours the I.adroncs in fine
The naughty Don sent to the main,
Hawaii proud, and the Caroline,
All for glory and humanity's gain.
Wave Oh, proud flag, our God doth give
Honors, duties to Columbia's domain,
Swing to breezes where tyranny doth live,
Make men free for the Lamb that was
slain.
l charge thee halt not In the strife
Til freedom lives in every cline,
Till Christ, the way, the truth, the life,
Overthrows error, makes men sublime.
The time is near when He must come
TO claim His own and make things
right,
At every hearth, in every home,
The good to claim, the bad 10 blight.
May we, dear Lord, on lions tower,
Be on our guard like soldiers true,
With love and zeal and Heavens power,
DO what our hands find H050 to do.
SO shall Thy advent a people see,
Ready to live and to die for Thee,
Ready to battle for the right,
With steady purpose, fearless might.

The most famous blind man in this
country, says the Baltimore American,
is being cured. A reporter who saw
John F. Martin, the substitute for
Charles Broadway Rouss, stone blind
a year ago, saw him again today and
applied tests which leave no possibil-
ity of doubt as to the ability of Mar
tin to see many things, and, more than
that, to his growing ability to see more
things.
The cure is made possible by the
discovery of a system of medication by
inhalation. The system of which
George II. Cassidy is discoverer, has
been in use several years in the treat
ment of various diseases, but it has
only recently been used in cases Of
blindness.
DR.. Mittendorf said to Martin
"Any treatment that will cure you
willie Mr.. Rouss, but neither you
nor Rouss will ever be cured. Other
experts said the same. Both were suf-
fering from the same disease-white
atrophy of the optic nerve.
Martin made an agreement by which
he was to be "the dog" on which the
remedies were to be tried. Mr.. Rouss
paid all the medical bills and gave
Martin $50 month for personal ex-
penses.
Five months ago Cassidy sought out
Mr.. Martin and offered to treat him on
the condition that no reports Of the
case were to be made to anybody, not
excepting Mr.. Rouss.
Together they went to DR.. Mitten-
dorf, who, as Mr.. Cassidy says, made
another examination Of Martin and
pronounced him absolutely blind.
The treatment began. Martins
stomach had been nearly destroyed by
the use Of medicines, and he was great
ly emaciated. Ten weeks were used
up in building up his system prepara-
tory to the treatment.
After rine weeks of actual treat
ment Martin appeared today for the
first semi-pubhc test. Those who were
present saw him walk down the hall
of Mr.. Cassidys home, and into the
room.
Every person in the audience was
asked to make tests. Martin stood
near window when the Light was
thrown well upon each observer. He
described the dress, tie, collar, shoes
and appearances Of the reporter who
stood before him.

Hope for Mr.. Rouss.

All will rejoice to learn that the lib
eral-hearted Charles Broadway Rouss
may yet have his sight restored to him
and see the monuments to his gener-
osity in Winchester, CharlestOwn and
other places. Noted medical men are
deeply interested in a new cure for
the peculiar disease which has result
ed in his blindness, and thousands Of
others will await the result Of expert
ments for his cure with anxiety.
George H. Cassidy, the head Of the
system of medication by inhalation, de-
clares in certain cases blindness can be
cured. In proof of his assertion he
presents the case of John F. Martin,
long known to the public as the Sub
stitute" Of Charles Broadway Rouss.
Martin is suffering from white
atrophe, or congestion Of the optic
nerve, caused by blood clot Pro-
fessor Mittendorf and other well-known
practitioners say that the Affections Of
Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Rouss are identi-
cal, and that what will benefit one will
aid the other, although Mr.. Martin
would have the advantage by reason
of his youth.
At the testimony there were pres
ent DR.. W. H. Morse, DR.. Robert Far
ries, DR.. Francis Michals, oculist at
the State Hospital at Binghamton; DR..
P. Davis Schulz and others.
Mr.. Cassidy, the originator of the
treatment, suffers from an organic dis
ease Of the heart. He sought relief
here and in Europe and finally studied
the matter for himself. He decided
finally to use ozone, from which the
irritable properties had been elimina-
ted, by inhalation. 1t benefited him,
and he decided to attempt its use in
the cure of other diseases. Mr.. Cassi
dy says he has found gas, the prop
critics of which he declines to disclose,
which will carry medicine by inhala-
ton into the lungs and from there
through the entire system.
In cases like Martins the patient
has to undergo daily treatment. The
eyes are sprayed with a solution of
Belladonna and other drugs, while in
the bowl of the inhaling tube, through
which the gas passes, is sponge con-
tanning idodide of potassium.
The physicians present were firm in
the belief that a cure can be effected
in Martin S case. Martin put on glasses
provided by DR.. Michaels and shouted
with JOY because of the relief they af
forded him.
Mr.. Rouss, Mr.. Smith said, was be-
ing treated by Philadelphia special
ist, but had given up all hope Of re-
gaining his sight. He had heard Of
Martin $ improyementand would prob
ably try the Cassidy cure if the Phila-
delphia cure did not prove beneficial.
