Boston is so pure in many ways that
it would be decidedly homogeneous if
the milk she takes into herself were
not pure An inquiry has been made,
| and Boston is pleased to find that the
milk she uses is pure, as it ought to
be. While discoveries of the more or
less extensive use Of formaldehyde have
been reported in many cities through
out the country, in Boston only eight
samples, out of 1850 analysed during
the year, were found to have been
treated with the preserving compound
Only the small number of thirteen SAM
pies contained foreign substances, four
having annatte and one caramel, and
in each of the thirteen cases conviction
was secured, Samples of butter to the
number Of 1868 were also examined
during the year. A comparatively small
number of these were found to be oleo-
margarine, and these had not been Of
fered openly for sale. The number of
restaurants serving oleomargarine with
out notice has still further diminished
and the Illegal use of the substance is
confined chiefly to the dlning-rooms Of
the smaller boarding houses where
transient guests are accommodated.
During the year attention was directed
to certain brands of Neufchatel and
cream cheese which possessed unusual
keeping qualities ana 1t was found that
borax and boracic acid had been en-
ployed with a generous hand in their
manufacture. One hundred and fifty
three samples were collected and ex-
amined and in each case in which the
preservatives were detected a letter
was addressed by the retailer warning
him to discontinue the sale. Within a
comparatively short time it was discoy- |
cred that it was impossible to obtain |
any more of the chemically preserved |
cheese.

BUBBING TT IN.

The exhibitions of race prejudice
which have recently been made in New
York city and Akron Ohio, have been
noticed in the South, whose exhibitions
of race prejudice have heretofore been
noticed in the North. The people of
the South "deplore" the performances
of the white people of the North just
as solemnly and sincerely as the people
of the North have deplored the per-
formances of the white people of the
South Mass-meetings are being held
in the South to protest against the
treatment of the negro by the white
people of the North. At such meet
ing held at Knoxville, Tennessee, it
was resolved, among other things, that
I'VE warn our brethren of the North of
the evil of yielding to race prejudice,
and suggest to them in all kindness the
inexpediency and the possible injustice
of judging others harshly."
This is fair hit. 1t will be wise for
the white people Of the North to clean
out their own eyes before they do much
more in the direction of cleaning out
the eyes of the white people of the
South. Race prejudice alone is bad. but
race prejudice and hypocrisy together
are worse.

Whole body to the last pitch of tension.
The great arteries in my neck seemed

nothing like stroke of lightning or the

that l had been shocked by high-pow-

Then, as nearly as / can describe it,
my overstrained tissues appeared to
give way, something exploded In my

RIBBONS FOR A MARRIAGE.

II do not know how the thing orlgina-
ted, or where it came from" observed
an old resident to a reporter, "but l do
know of a custom in my boyhood
| days in Washington, say fifty years
ago, that, as far as I can learn. does
not exist now. 1t was Of draping street
door knobs with purple of gold-colored
ribbons the day a wedding was to be
| celebrated in house. 1t was the Gus
| tom certainly in the old First ward-all
of the city lying between Fifteenth
| street and Rock Creek-and I am sure
in some other sections, if not all over
the city I was told once that the Gus
tom prevailed in Europe many years
ago, but had fallen into disuse there.
Very often, if the occupants of the
house. the parents of the bride, or 9TH
ers did not provide the outside decora-
ton, friends furnished 1t. The mark
was hung like the ordinary funeral
Grape from the outside doorknob. In
the great majority of the cases a purple
colored ribbon used. The ends hung
long always. reaching to the level of
the bottom of the door.
II have known of this decoration be-
ing placed on doors even without the
consent of the parties who We're to be
married, and understood that it was
done by instruction of the clergyman
who was to perform the marriage, and
who did 1t for his own protection in
cases where the marriage banns had not
been regularly made public in the
church. The custom of reading out
marriage banns was almost universal
In the early days Of Washington, all
denominations Joining in 1t. In some
churches they We're read on three sue
cessive Sundays, in others on Two Sun
days, and in others one Sunday. In
cases where the people who were to be
married were not church gocrs or who
did not desire that their banns should
be published in the churches, some
should be given of the wedding by the
door knob decora ton, which was hung
at early breakfast time and remained
on the knob until after the wedding
was celebrated In cases where there
were to be weddings at churches I have
known of a similar sign being given.
Some ministers objected very seriously
to the CUSTOM though others were as
in its favor. l have not seen
talk even of the custom for at least |
fifty years. but it was very generally |
half century ago here, and, |
for all | know, in other cities. Wash |

address in which he said: Before the

than they are now, and the people, then
ready to demand an American financial
policy for the American people, will join
with us in the immediate restoration Of

The conversio1 of one native Chinese

Edgar Mels in an article on 1.-The Mis-

work on the part Of the Protestant
churches has resulted in the conversion
Of about sixty thousand Chinese, at an
annual outlay of 100000 900 necessary to
maintain the thousand missionaries so
employed. The Roman Catholics lay
claim to nearly 100000 converts, but this
number seems a trifle large. This pre-

The second malarial expedition Of the

has lust sent news of most important
discovery from Bonny, in Nigeria. 1t
appears that the parasite which causes
elephantiasis, as well as that which
causes malaria, has been found in the
proboscis of the mosquito. A similar
discovery has been made simultaneous
ly by DR.. Low in England in mosquitoes
brought from Australia and by Captain
James in India. Elephantiass is a dis
ease which causes hideous deformity in
thousands. or rather millions of natives
in tropical countries, and sometimes in
the case of Europeans. 1t is due to a
small worm which lives in the Iymphat-
ic vessels. The fact that this worm can
live also in the mosquito has long been
known, but the discovery of it in the |
Insects proboscis shows that it enters |
the human body through the bites of |
