Selling Adulterated Cream of Tartar.

A. B. Ryan was fined $25 by Judge Adams
in the Boston police court for selling impure
cream of tartar. The stuff was put up in
packages and marked "pure." State An
alyst Lythgoe found that it contained cal
cium sulphate, calcium acid phosphate, and
other matter. The analyst stated that while
calcium acid phosphate mixed with soda
would give off some leavening gas, and
thereby mslead the user, the other in.
gradients were simply makeweights. Cal
cium sulphate is ground gypsum, which is
plaster of Paris. Ryan had been disposing
of this mixture for cream of tartar long
while, and had been fined once before fol-
the same otfenSe.
A great deal of this kind of material is
sold throughout New England under the
name of cream of tartar, which it resembles
so closely in appearance as to deceive any
one who cannot analyze it. HouSekeepers
use it with soda to raise biscuit, cake, etc
in ignorance of the fact that it carries tC
the food substance unfit for the stomach
plaster of Paris, and that its leavenine
property is very slight.
We are told that there is but little pure
cream of tartar sold at the shops. 1t is
safer, as well as more economical, for the
housewife to procure reputable cream OF
of tartar baking powder for raising her bis
cult and cake, as the official analyses show
that the ingredients used in them are chemi
cally pure.

Must the Hen "Go?"

Seems as though there were more
substitutes now than during the civil
war. A corporation with capital of
$6,5OO,OOO is making eggs, warranted
strictly fresh," out of casein, which is
made out of milk. Thus the COW lays
eggs, so to speak. AS yet, however,
she does not displace the hen. Casein
eggs won't hatch. Will star-eyed science
yet make them hatchable and consign
the hen to the museum?-"With the

SCHOONER WILLIAM SLATER
Towed Into Boston in Sinking Condition
Mrs. Grace Pattershall. Wife of tho Cap
tain, Praised by the Life-Saving Crew.

BosToN, May 81. A life-saving crew in
full dress for a life-saving trip is an I'M
usual sight on the water front of the city,
and the crew of the Pamet river station at
Truro attracted much attention while they
waited on Long wharf TOR the return of
their captain from the federal building this
morning.
The crew came up with the three-masted
schooner William Slater of Belfast, Maine.
Thursday evening about the lookout at
the Pamet River station sighted the schoon-
er off Truro with her flag set union down.
Capt. Darius Weeks, with his crew, Richard
T. Honey, Isaiah T. Hatch. Hernaldo H.
Kelley, John Adams and Stephen Ryder,
put ont to the schooner, which lay about
two miles off shore.
They found the Slater leaking badly. The
captain and crew were tired out from work
ing the pumps, and were about to give up
the task keeping their vessel atloat when
the ite-saving crew came on board. From
Capt Pattershall of the Slater Capt. Weeks
learned that the schooner was loaded with
1888 tons OF coal and was bound to Belfast,
Maine, from New York. Everything went
off Nantucket shoals, when she ran into a
| heavy sea which parted her seams and she
began leaking badly.
More than once the men would have
given up if they had not been cheered on
by Mrs. Grace Pattershall, the captain
After consulting with Capt. Weeks, Capt.
Pattershall decided that the Slater would
stand the run across the bay and she was
continued on to Boston, where she arrived
this morning. The lifeSavers took the
place of the Slater's crew at the pumps
They were obliged to work every minute of
the time until they reached the South Bos-
ton flats. They were most enthusiastic in
their praise of Mrs. Pattershall and her work
while the Slater was in danger of sinking.
Never for moment did she lose confidence
in her husbands ability to bring his vessel
into port, and by her cheerfulness and ap-
parent disregard of danger kept up the
courage of the crew for whose comfort she
looked out while they We're working the
pumps.
The lfe-saving station at Tamet river is
one of the original Is of the Atlantic coast,
and has done much hard work in the past
1t was from this station that the crew went
out to save those OH the ship Jason in 1892,
when that vessel with "a of the % persons
on board was lost. The sole survivor on
that occasion was Samuel Evans.
Capt. Weeks has been in charge of the
station for short time only, having been
transferred there from Cuttyhunk, when
Capt. Bowley of Pamet river was made
deputy superintendent of the stations.
Capt Weeks is looked upon as one of the
most competent officers in the life-saving
service.
The Slater was formerly owned by the
Pendieton Bros but was recently bought
by Capt. Arthur Pattershall of this city,
whose wife is Belfast woman, the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Monroe of Poor S
Mills. The Slater was bound for Hurricane
Island, not Belfast, as above stated.

public wishes to know about, and it
 usually has the right to know what he seeks. Moreover, as a rule, it is best for the public that it should have the information which the reporter seeks. We are not going into a defence of the publication of the news of crime and of vice simply because that is not our present subject, but we may be per- mitted to say, in passing, that much of the news of crime and vice which is scorned by persons whose fastidious- ness is mainly due to ignorance or. folly Is for the moral health of the cOmmun- ity. But we will confine our observa- ton to those who resent the so-called intrusion of reporters into what they are pleased to call their private affairs, affairs, as we have intimated, that are
 likely to be public.
 It is also true of such aggressive, and sometimes Obstreperous, ignorers of the press that when they want fa-
 vors of the public none ask so eagerly as they for the notice of the press. Then they seek out the editor, the re- porter and the correspondent. They may fepulse the reporter who asks them for their temporary information for the public good, but many of them fall on their knees before him when they want him to advance their private interests. Then the editor and the reporter become their friend, and they again prove their unworthiness by
 their inadvertent sycophancy. It may be said that, as rule, only those who deserve very little of the press, and who pretend to look down upon much that it does, including the work of the reporter, beg humbly and persistently for its favors, and they may rest as- sured that no one understands them better and values them more justly than the keen eyed, observant, thought reporter.-Boston Herald.
