TESTING CANNED MEATS.
Experts Can Tell Their Condition BY
Tappinc Cpon tho Lids


Tapping Upon the Lids
Among the most incomprehensible
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area of Woolwich reserve depot
are the doings Of small party Of OFF,
cials, one of whom appears 70 do moth
ing all day lcng but sit at table and
tap on the top Of tin canisters with
couple Of bits Of stick something after
the manner Of child beating on the
upturned end of his drum. The tins
are passed before him about as fast as
he can tap them and absolutely moth
ing seems to come Of the game. To
the unenlightened onlooker 1t is quite
unintelligible. The tins contain meat
and before they are passed into store
1t is, Of course, important to examine
the condition Of what Is inclosed, and
this, in fact, is the way it Is done. Tho
trained ear of the expert examiner can
tell whether the meat is in a whole
some or a putrid condition by the
sound emitted when raped with the
stick just as the examiner of railway
carriage wheels is supposed to be able
to tell whether the wheel he taps with
his hammer is cracked or not The
rapidity with which the business Is
eoLe through and the seeming mat
tention OF the performer with the
sticks and his total Indifference to all
sor:.3 Of noises about him render the
procedure very curious one to watch.
The test is said to be practically in
fallible.-Londcn News.

ture experience which he had in 1T
tie place in the far west. There was
a blizzard on the night when he held

Artemus, 81 ventured to suggest to
the chairman of the committee that

that evening l might repeat my talk
later on in the season. After confer

the chairman came back and said to
me: We haven't any objection at all
to your repeating your lecture. but
the feeling is that you had better re-
peat it in some other town."

When preparation has an advertised rep
utation that Is world-wid 1t means that
preparation is meritorious. II you go into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel 1t has the
endorsement OF the world. The judgment
OF the people is infalib!e because 1t is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to sell
you something else" In place OF the ar
ticle you ask for has an ak to grind. Don't
1t stand to reason? He's trying to sell
something that Is not what he represents 1t
to be. Why? Because he expects to de-
rive an extra profit out OF your creduilty.
Are you easy? Don't you see through his
little game? The man who will try and sell
you a substitute for Cascarets Is fraud.
Beware OF him! he Is trying to steal the
honestly earned benefits OF reputation
which another business man has paid for,
and II his conscience will allow him to go
so far, he will go farther. II he cheats
his customer In one way, he will In an
other and 1t Is not safe to do business with
him. Beware OF the Cascaret substitutor!
Remember Cascarets are never sold In
bulk but In metal boxes with the long
tailed &c" on every box and each tablet

From the beggar colonies, where the
