spIcEs-PuRE AND OTHERWISE.

BY A. s. Atkinson, M. ID.
Spices properly used have their
value in helping digestion and stimu-
lating the flow Of the gastric and pan.
create juices, and at the same time
they tempt the jaded appetite to bet.
ter relish of good, wholesome foods.
But spices are not always what they
are sold for: neither are they always
as wholesome and harmless as they
should be.
Naturally dealers and manufacturers
in adulterated foods try to select harm
less articles to mix with their adul-
terated goods. Whatever the nature
OF the material used for adulterating,
it is always cheaper than the genuine
goods. 1t is usually some woody sub
stance, which when ground fine
enough will pass muster without be-
ing easily detected. Thus in such
spices as cloves, cinnamon, mace all
spice, nutmeg, mustard, and ginger,
there are many such materials as
ground cornmeal, parched wheat, peas,
beans, and coffee beans, which can
easily be mixed with them without
changing the general appearance or
even taste beyond lessening the
strength.
adulterated with pepper, mustard
hulls, and turmeric. These give near
ly as sharp a taste to the mixture as
pure ginger would, and the effect is
that the adulterated spice frequently
passes unchallenged. Cinnamon has
quite variety of materials used for
cheapening its retail cost Cassia,
arrowroot, mustard hulls, charcoal,
burnt shells and cracker dust are all
frequently ground to swell the bulk of
the spice. Then in cloves we have
some of these same materials, and
| such other articles as Glove stems and
hulls ground up, allspice, peas, wheat
and even mineral colors. Nutmegs,
since the days of the first Yankee nut
megs made in Connecticut of white
birch colored to resemble the natural
ones, have been susceptible to con-
| siderable adulteration, and starch,
| cereals, mustard, peas and other
| roasted articles go to make up ground
| nutmegs. OF course, whole nutmegs
are hard to initiate, but even these
| are sometimes sold as genuine when
| they are nothing but wild, flavorless
| nutmegs.
Pepper has its weight increased
with the addition of such cheap and
harmless substances as bran, peas,
rice, corn, charcoal, mustard hulls,
sage, arrowroot, and cocoanut shells.
| None of these add any spicy flavor to
the combination but they serve to en-
nance the profits of the maker

Pretty Hard to Believe.

Talking of dogs" said a British
army officer recently, "a friend Of
mine had a Gordon setter. She's the
most sympathetic dog l ever heard Of.
She has the maternal instinct so
strong that she has brought up litter
not her own" I've known of such
cases." said a listener There was
a hen that had a chicken" continued
the colonel. The hen died and the
chicken was in sore distress. This
dog took pity on it and brought up the
chicken" Yes" said another listener,

mon" And now" continued the colo
mel, solemnly, that chicken barks."

The National League Teams.


A New York paper has polled the
men who cover baseball for the news
papers In the leading baseball cities
in the country as to the probable
standing Of the National league clubs
at the end Of the season.
Naturally, Pittsburg was selected by
the greatest number to win the cham
pionship for the third time. There
seems to be a notion that the Pitts
burgs have not been weakened to such
an extent that their chances are ma
terially changed. twenty-five picked
Pittsburg to win the pennant
again, and this is not a prejudiced Sc
lection, since every Pittsburg news
paper man but one side stepped"
There seems to be more uncertainty
in Pittsburg than anywhere else.
Eight men think Cincinnati good
enough to win the pennant, and almost
universally Cincinnati is picked to run
second to Pittsburg, whore the Pirates
are selected to win.
A Brooklyn man, with the courage
of his convictions, declares Boston
who has an evident admiration for
young blood and Hanlon, declares
for Brooklyn.
Local enthusiasts of course are more
or less interested in what the news
paper men think of New York and
Brooklyn. From a careful survey Of
the opinions sent in third and fourth
places are pretty well divided between
the teams representing Greater New
York.
Seven think New York will stop in
fifth place, while eight put Brooklyn
there. Two only rate the Giants in
sixth place and three pick out that
stopping place for Brooklyn.
Two favor Brooklyn the same way.
No one puts Brooklyn at the tail end
of the procession, but there are three
who can see no better finish for the
New York team.
II seems to be a fact, outside of
placing Pittsburg and Cincinnati, the
critics are little at sea as to where
to drop In the other mines. Some seem
to think the New York pitchers will
carry the Giants along handsomely;
others look to the Cardinals in st.
Louis to make great race Of it;
many see fine qualities in Hanlon's
young blood, not few like the Bos-
ton batters, and there are many who
favor Selee's Cubs in Chicago.
