PURE FOOD LAWS.

c INCE the publication in The Call OF the story
= OF the Two Republics concerning the seizure
- in Mexico OF large quantity OF California
wine found to be adultcrated with sacyc acid there
has been renewed activity in the direction OF pro-
yiding better enforcement of pure food laws
and OF obtaining from the Legislature further
statutes the subject where such needed. To
that extent good has resulted from the event, and
the incident cannot be regarded as unmxed evil.
When the reports get abroad of what is being done
in California to protect the purity of its food products
the effect upon the general public will be highly bene-
fcial and if these efforts result in completely elm
mating frauds from the trade, there will be sure
market for California goods in countries where our
products are now regarded with suspicion and dis
trust.
The benefits of the proposed inspection will be
particularly felt in wine industry. Abundant
reasons exist for believing that the long struggle for
entrance to the worlds wine market has about
succeeded, and that California winenlakers are to
have better times than has been their lot in the past
Moreover the demand for our wine in some parts Of
our country is rapidly increasing. The New
York Sun, in commenting upon the extent to which
the use OF wine is suppanting the OF beer in some
parts of the Union, recently stated:
"a New Orleans brewer asserts that in Louisiana
while the quantity of beer sold during the FIVE months
was, during the corresponding five months of ISo8
only 82,736 barrels For the same two periods the
sales OF California wine in Louisiana increased from
Alb barrels in 1897 to 1890 barrels in 1893 1t is
sold in pitchers and cans, thus avoiding the botting
tax, and is retaied at the of cents per quart
with chunk OF ice thrown in"
The Sun adds it has been noted that the French,
Spanish, Italian and South German peoples in that
city consuming less beer than formerly because of
the increasing consumption OF California wine 1t
seems, therefore, that the industry is rising ground
at last and has the prospect OF enlarged home
market, the best in the world before it. Whatever
is done at this time, therefore, to keep the product
pure and wholesome will be highly profitable in the
long
In the meantime it should be remembered that no
matter what may be accomplished in California for
the enforcement Of pure food laws, the subject can
be effectually dealt with by any authority less
comprehensive than that of the United States AS
long as Eastern adulterators mark their fraudtl-
lent output with California labels, long will our
producers be handicapped in the market The pro-
moters OF such laws, therefore, should push the fight
at Washington. Every effort should be made to pro-
the enactment OF statute the subject either
at this session at the next

GEORGE
DU MAURlER
AND THE
GOLD FISH.


which he tells at the expense Of the
famous novelist, George du Maurier: The
gentleman in question was a close COM
panion of the author of "Trilby'' when
the latter was student in Paris. Du
Maurier had rooms In house kept by an
elderly maiden lady, who possessed a Jar
of gold fish. These small fish were the
JOY and pride Of the old lady's life. and
she was accustomed to place them every
day on a ledge just outside of her win
dow. Du Maurier occupied the room
directly above that of his landlady One
pleasant spring day as he sat by his
window he noticed the Jar of gold fish
Now Du Maurier loved a practical Joke
and it suddenly occurred to him that
these same gold fish offered an excellent
chance for him to have some fun at the
expense of his landlady, so he waited un-
til she had left the house, and then get
ting a bucket of hot water he secretly
stole into her room and treated the gold
fish to a hot bath.
When the old lady returned all of her
pets were dead, floating in the Jar with
their stomachs turned upward. The hot
bath had been too much for them. Up
stairs Du Maurier was laughing to nm
self. In some way the landlady found
out that her boarder was the perpetrator
of the joke and her wrath knew no
bounds. The future novelist with all of
his earthly belongings was merclessly
piled out into the street and Du MauNier
had to seek lodgings elsewhere. Years
after, however, when his fame had en-
crcled the globe, he made his peace with
the old lady by presenting her with a
mammoth bowl of gold fish.

EVILS OF STRIKES.
Cooperation Scheme Proposed TO Pre-
vent Them In Future.


Washington. June S.-A report on a
has been made by Commercial Agent
Griffin. stationed at Limoges, 90 the
state department He-says:
THE untold evils wrought by the en-
gineers' strike In 1897, by which hum
dreds OF thousands OF innocent people
suffered, several manufacturers were
ruined. many millions sterling in the
form OF wages and profits were driven
from their natural currents, and some
industries were transplanted in foreign
lands, especially In Belgium, Germany
and the United States; the distressing
coal strike in South Wales, which re-
suited in disaster TO all concerned
these and other troubles have empha-
sized the question which has been be-
fore the public for so long time, viz:
Is therel not some means OF co-opera-
tion by which the interests of the EN-
ployer and the employees may be united
by which these disastrous strikes. so
fatal not only to individual comfort,
interest and happiness, but to industry
and commercial success. may be pre-
vented?

this combination movement. has been

years in Birmingham; he has held the
different positions Of employe, traveller

trade and has gained knowledge from
