The Dangers of Fox Hunting.

Crowds go hunting" but few ride
70 hounds, so statistics are absolutely
lseless. OF the thrusters-the ones
who come TO grief least-are the
spOrtsmen who keep their eye on the
'eading hound and try to land on his
.ail every time. The golden rule is:
Throw your heart over first, and then
you and your horse and the leading
log and the fox are certain TO be in
he same field. Ii is level money
which of you get killed first.-London

FRAUD IN FOODS.
Enormous Annual Loss from Dishonest
Food Products.


The best authorities estimate the
price paid for dishonesty made or sold
food at 500, 100000 year. 1t is be-
lieyed that ninety-nine per cent. of this
great sum is spent for food which is
fraudulent but not harmful. That
leaves $lO.0OO.OOO paid every year Tor
dishonesty concOcted food preparations
which are either poisonous or distinct
ly hurttul to those who unwittiIgly
use them.
II is monStrous thing that nearly
$4,000 day should be spent for hid
den poisons and noXiOus substitutes for
good food. Red lead is used in max
ing bogus cayenne pepper. Out of for
ty-one samples of that Condiment ex-
amned by the Massachusetts Board of
Health, no less than forty were fraud
ulent, Candy is often cOlored with
deadly lead cromate. of ninety-two
samples tested in Massachusetts, eight
cen were poisoned in that manner.
Marble dust is sometimes found in con-
fectioners' sugar.
Compared with such frauds. the
more commonly known and glaring
food humbugs, such as the sale of
young American herring as French
sardines and the marketing of great
quantities of oleomargarine as butter.
are of little Importance. They do not
tritle with life and health.
That is the best of reasons for the
passage of laws like the purefood bill
which has gone through the House of
Representatives and for the rigid en-
forcement of every such statute
