The success of the recent swlndling
schemes OF Gotham should. In the opin.
ing Of the Chicago Times Herald, check
the smile that rises TO the lips Of the
end of the century man as he reads Of
the gullible fools OF the past. Human
credulity is apparently as great as ever.
Nothing that Law conceived, no land
fraud such as those that were satir-
ICED by Dickens in Martin Chuzzle-
wit sixty years ago could be a greater
affront TO common sense than the pre-
posterous offers made by Miller and his
tribe. Yet crowds jumped at them
frantically. and, alas! the greatest
crowds were furnished by New York
herself. But 1t is the story OF something
self. But it is the story of something
for nothing. which never has lost and
never will lose it's charm for city or
country. 1t is the occasional success
speculation that is the invariable bai
OF the tempter. and Miller appears to
have used It judiciously. On no other
ground can we explain the willingness
even of the guileless Gothamites to
cake chances with him. For 10 per
cent. a week is proof conclusive of
fraud and humbug. 1t makes the
swindle as clear as though the meth
DDS of the syndicate" were fully ex-
posed. Equally certain also is the de-
vious intent Of the gentlemen who
promised to pay back three dollars for

Hindu Girls Like sweetmeats.

Like the American girls, Hindu girls
are passionately fond of sweet things
One of their candies sadu-is very
much like our plain sugar candy. 1t Is
made of sugar and milk and favored
with altar Of roses. BuddhikabaL or
hair of Buddha, is one of their most
popular sweetmeats. 1t is so called be-
cause it is in fine long strings like
vermiceni. This is made of sugar and
cream from buffalo's milk. which is
exceedingly rich. The women pass
most of their time eating candy and
gossiping.

So much has been said about the
prevalence of food adulterati ton In the
United States that many nervous per
sons have become alarmed about tho
integrity Of their stomachs. They ~
beginning to fear they will have to
limit themselves to vegetables and
boiled eggs. 1t viii be a comfort for
these persons to be assured by com
petent authority that they have been
worrying themselves unnecessarily
Prof. Wiley Of the Agricultural De
partnent who has been helping the
Senate Committee on Food Adutcr-
ants In It's investigate rebukes the
alarmists who have asserted that near
ly all food products for sale in the gro
cerles are what they should not be.
lie says: You may select a hundred
samples Of food. bought Mt random in
the public market. and you will find
that hardly per cent. of them are
adulterated." lie says further that
there Is little or no adulteratlon of
our staple articles of food. Take flour.
sugar, meat, and other staples. and
they will not be found to be adulter-
ated." This is n consolation. The Pro-
fessor does not deny that there are
some adulteratlons-not all Injurious to
health. however-and he Is in favor Of
the enactment Of pure food law whic'
shall prohibit the use Of harmful adul-
terants, and which shall give notice to
consumers when harmful ones are
used, so they may know they are buy
Ing oleomargarine. for instance. and
not fancy they are buying butter. An
authoritative assurance that % per
cent Of food products Is beyond re-
proach ought to dispel the fears Of con-
sumers. When they make n purchase
the chances are nineteen to one they
win not be cheated. The odds are not
so much In their favor In the horse
market or at a primary election.
