DETECTING FOOD ADuLTERANTs.

DETECTING FOOD ADULTERANTS.
 One of the most striking features of the exhibit of the Department of Agri- culture at Buffalo is a collection of silks dyed with food adulterants.
 If you get some blackberry juice, say, .on your clothing and apply am- monia to the stain the spot will change color, but will not come out; the dye will remain in the fabric. On the other hand, if the spot is made by some ami line dye or other artificial substance, such as is commonly employed in coun- terfeiting jellies and wines, and the same treatment is applied, the coloring will pass into the ammonia You may then dip piece of white silk or other cloth into the ammonia, and it will take the dye which has been thus communi- cated
 Now this is precisely the method used by the chemists of the Department of Agriculture for testing foods and drinks to discover whether they contain artificial dyes. If the cloth dipped in the ammonia takes the stain the evi- dence of fraud is conclusive. The col lection of silks shown at Buffalo eX- hibits the results obtained by many such trials and it is surprising to ob- serve how beautifully many of the fa- brics are colored. They are of almost a,yar1, I,,,a of rainhnw
 One piece of silk is a brilliant red from a substance called "rosal1ne, used for coloring meats, such as corn ed beef and sausage. A yard of pink is tinted with dye from preserved cher ries and another yard of salmon hue owes it's beauty to currant jam. Varl- ous kinds of jellies give other colors; there is a fine purple from port wine, a magenta from burgundy, light red from tomato catsup and pretty yellow from soda water flavoring.
 One sample of burgundy yielded three colors-red, orange and blue. The first dyeing gave purple (from red and blue), the second green from the blue that was left, combined with yellow) and the third a delicate yellow.
 All three colors had been put into the wine by the manufacturer, and it was possible for him, by varying the proportions, to get any shade he want ed. Such things are interesting as showing the extent to which food adul- iteration is carried.-Philadelphi Post

tie. Neither can be called quite hap py, but certainly the American is the better.
 Walt Whitman found the question of names for his works most trying one, and, only selected such titles as Leaves of Grass and Specimen Days after long and careful consideration. some times booknames, Intentionally or oth- erwise have been absolutely mislead- ing. Ouida's Moths has been inquired for by entomologists. and Ruskln Treatise on Sheepfolds by farmers Seamen used to ask for Colerldges Ancient Mariner and WoodsWorths Excursion was bought by holiday seekers. Lorna Doone' was sought TOT at the libraries, because the good loyal public, ladies chiefly, thought 1t haa something to do with the marriage ol the Princess Louise and the Marquess of Lorne. The Bible in Spain, though its title Is absolutely correct, proved a staggering surprise to many worthy and pious subscribers to the Bible so- ciety In one of his essays, MT. Blrrell chuckles at the thought of boys being allowed to read this work of BorroW's on Sunday, under the idea that it was quite Sunday book"
 That a title is truly of importance was proved by the fact that tale christened The Champion of Virtue did not attract the public at all; but when it was renamed The Old Engllsh Baron it went off charmingly. Writ CTS of the date of Jane Austen delight ed in moral titles, such as Pride and Prejudice; the public now does not care for such labels. Titles of eplthet or self lf-criticism such as 'Babs the I'm possible or Peg the Rake, are more popular. More than half the criticism poured upon one of MT. Gaines recent novels was directed against it's title
 The wise author is still generally content with the name of his leading character; such titles as John lngle- sant or 'Aylwin' are wholly satlstac- tory. With few exceptions, the great est works of fiction are christened in this manner-books like Guy Manner ing, David Coppertield,' Esmond,' Pere Goriot' Anna Karenina.' There are exceptions, as when Thackeray christened a study of human life van ity Fair, and Hugo, studying a lower phase of the same life, entitled his pie ture of Les Miserables." But these ti- ties in themselves are great inasmuch as they are chief and self f-descriptive. Balzac was actuated with the same broad, philosophic spirit as Thackeray, when he gave his works the general ti- tie of "The Human Comedy. ."-London Standard.

KNOX MAKES CURT REPLY
lcontinued from First Page.)

hla to me. it would be my duty to ob- tain them and furnish them for use in legal proceedings to which you are party. and the nature of which you do not explain, is a question which do not care at this time to discuss.
 If I may regard the letter as ad- dressed to me officially I will say: If this department is under obligation to furnish information to prospective lit1- eants in undisclosed proceedings It's responsibilities and labors are neces- sarily greater than they have ever been imagined from the time of it's for nation. Indeed, as there are generally two parties to every controversy IL would be difficult to discharge such al legged duty to both parties in view Of conflicting interests. This department was not called into being to furnish information to private litigants. It's duty and it's object is to enforce the federal statutes as interpreted by the court wherever there is probable cause for believing that they have been vio- lated.
 Very respectfully,
 P. c. Knox, Attorney General.

TOMMY ATKINS LIP"

An Englishman connected with the mule shipments from this port to South Africa told an odd story a few days ago which has a slightly horse-marine flavor. but there 1t is. The topic of conversation was the little pancake hat which Is the distinguishing char acteristic of the British soldier and which, plastered on the extreme pos terior proturberance of his head, Is held in place by leathern band gird- ling the face and hooked beneath what is universally known as Tommy At kins' Lip" From constant exercise of the inferior labial muscle a remark able development has been produced, and in due course of time the prehensile quality of the British lower lip may be expected to transform itself into some thing as generally useful in the trunk of the tapir
 But that has nothing to do with the Englishmans story, which concerns only the origin of the lip band. Like many another fashion, it was the re- suit. it appears, of accident and vanity. Time was when the Britisher, in &C., cord with common sense and the rest of the universe, held his hat on by strap beneath the chin. So it was until one of the early Indian campaigns when the Atkinses of the day were having high times skinning Begums, and no common soldier felt comfortable un- less he was toting 9. Kokinoor around in his pocket. It was not always com fortable campaigning, however. and sometimes money was more plentiful than food.

CHURCH COLLECTIONS IN HOL-
 LAND.


 A Sunday among the staid burglars of Holland gave Clifton Johnson an opportunity to see three church collec- tions taken up in rapid succession. He had asked to be directed to char acteristc country church in an outly- ing village As a result he went by train from Leyden to little place, where there was a church as severe in it's simplicity as the meeting house Of colonial New England. It resembles them too, in it's chilliness, for there was no attempt at warming it, and the people were dependent upon foot stoves of the old-fashioned type that was beginning to go out Of vogue III America a hundred years ago. Several scores of these little boxes stood in the church entry, neatly piled against the wall, ready to be aled With smoldering peat and supplied to the Worshippers as they came in.
 When the time for the collection ar rived a man started out from the railed off space before the pulpit, which space was occupied by the elders, and with black pocket at the end of an eight
  this accessory he could reach clear to the end of a pew, only he had to be careful not to hit some worshipper with the butt end while making his short reaches.
 Everybody in the congregation put in something, and the collector made little bow every time a coin jingled Tn the pocket. He had gone about half way round when another elder started out with another bag and pole. hTe writer wondered he had not started be- fore His purpose however, was not to help his fellow-collector finish the work. Indeed. he started just where the other had begun and passed the bag to the same people, and every one dropped in a coin as faithfully as he had done the first time.
 Nor was this the end, for the sec ond colond collector had no sooner got a good start than a third stepped out from the pulpit front with a bag anr pole and went as inlustriously over the ground as the two others had done. He was just as successful as his prede- cessors.
 InlngS were gelNlilS Scll AAtO stranger had put silver in the first bag but fearing that the collection might continue indefinitely, he dropped copper coins in the second and third bags and was not a little relieved wwhen he saw that the rest of the men in the elders seats kept their places.
 Later he learned the secret of the process. The first man collected for the minister, the second for the church, and the third for the poor. As each member of the congregation contribu- ted one Holland cent to each bag, it seemed as if little calculation might have saved much collecting. The sum of the three deposits would, in our money, be about one and one-fifth cents for each person.
 At the moment when the bags began to pass the minister gave out hymn but the congregation finished singing it long before the collection was over There did not, however, ensue one of those silences during which you can hear pins drop and flies buzz, for the minister ignored the collectors, who were still making their halting progress through the aisles, and promptly began his sermon.-Youth's Companion.

Funeral Turned Back to See IT Ll1e
 Was Extinct in the Body.
 Derby Aug. 2O.-The funeral of Mrs. William H. Hummer was turned back yesterday, the casket reopened and the body examined to see if life was really extinct During the funeral services the friends were startled to see pink glow in the cheeks of the dead woman as she lay in the casket and this caus- ed some to believe she was alive
 When the coffin was again carried into the Hummer home it was opened and the two daughters made pathetic efforts to restore their mother to life.
 Dr. George L. Beardsley was sum noned, To satisfy the family and friends he applied all the known tests to ascertain the presence of life. When the physician announced emphatically that the woman was dead and could not possibly be in a trance, it was some time before the nervous strain of the family and friends had subsided suf-

COASTING CHAMOIS.

Nearly all animals are fond of play, and sometimes their play is almost a systematic game. If you should come across a lot of goats playing football, with chosen sides, captains and all that sort of thing, you would be speech less with amazement, and yet a tourist saw something on the Alps that IS scarcely less astonishing.
 It was in summer, and a flock of chamois had climbed up to where the snow never melts, evidently to play on it. Their movements were so peculiar that he watched them carefully They had found a steep, snoW-coVered lh- cline, to the upper end of which they went in body, just like party of boys intent on coasting
 And that is precisely what the cha mois intended, for two or three of them at time would crouch down at the beginning of the descent, work all four legs to get a start and slide over the surface of the snow to the bottom. When they reached the bottom they would rise, shake themselves ana chmp up the incline again, only to repeat their trip down. Ths they did time ana again, their comrades at the upper end watching them with great interest un- til it came their turn to coast. The coasting ground was about one hundred and fifty yards from top to bot tom, and the chamois would shoot down 1t with the speed of sleds, the snow rising about them in a powderly cloud.
 There could be no doubt whatever that they did it for sport, and they seemed to enjoy it as much as boys en- joy coasting down a well-packed hill.- Takoma Ledger
