The Lancet calls attention to the
wholesale manner in which the ma
terials which keep us warm during
the day and the blankets which COW
er us at night are adulterated. The
silk dress of the lady of hundred
years ago rustled as she moved on
account of the goodness Of the silk
now it Fustles with the SO per cent
Of salts of tin used to sophisticate
it. The lady Of the period in her
silk dress is indeed a sort Of "wom-
an in armor." EPSON salts, instead
Of being used for medicinal purposes,
as formerly, are now employed, it
would appear, for loading flannel.

Singular or Plural?

a discussion starts up somewhere
every now and then as to whether
the United States" as a nomina-
tive requires a singular or plural
verb. The late David Dudley Field,
one Of the ablest scholars and con-
stitutional lawyers of his time, said
that the use of singular verb with
United States not only violates a
rndimentary rule of Syntax, but mis-
represents the fundamental princi-
pie on which our national system
is founded. The Union is one, and
the United States government is
one, but the United States are sew
eral. Therefore we should say,
"rhe United States are not at war
with any nation" not SIS not at
war" The distinction may seem a
fine one, but most of the best schol-
ars say that it should be made.

cocHINEAL DYE.
Pho Way the Insects Are Gathered and
Prepared For Use.

Prepared FOR Use.
The history of the eochineal in.
sect was for long time very OBJ
icure, and at one time the species
employed in commerce was consid-
cred kind of grain. 1t was not un-
til near the close of the seventeenth
century that it was discovered to be
OF insect origin. The insect is a ma
tive of Mexico, where it was raised
by the Mexican Indians long before
the country was discovered by the
Spanlards. 1t is now cultivated in
some Of the West Indian islands
and in few of our western states,
but it is in Mexico only that it is
raised in sufficient quantities to
form IAN article of commerce. The
insect Is raised on the cochineaI
tree, or Indian fig or nopal, which
is a species of cactus.
The cochineal is first collected
about the middle of December. The
insects are removed from the tree
with a knife, the edge of which has
been blunted, or are carefully brush
ed off with squirrel tail. This labor
is performed by the women. The
insects are usually killed by the APP
plication of heat, by baking in ovens
or BY the beat of the sun.
When the cochineal arrives in the
market it is In the form of small
grain, having a convex and con-
cave side, but with very little re-
semblance to the body of an insect. |
Ii is used for dyeing crimson and
scarlet and for making carmine.
Cochineal alone yields a purple col
or, which, when mixed with a solu.
ton Of tin in nitromuriatic acid.
may be changed to most beautiful
scarlet. The discovery is said to
have been made in this wise:
A man who was making a Their
mometer placed in his window an
extract of cochineal made with boil
ing water, and in some way a vial
containing nitromuriatic acid was
broken over it. This acid changed
he purple dye into a most beautiful
lark red, and by experiments this
nan soon found that the tin dissolv-
d in the acid caused the change of
.olor. An ingenious dyer at Leyden,
Holland, brought the discovery to {
perfection. The secret afterward
'ecame known, and a large dyeing d
was erected in Paris. {
This accident occurred 300 years

they carry to a stream that deepenS

ginning from the end Of their tails,
they advance till the whole body,

rapid haste to the dry parts and
finally to the moss, and the fox,

quietly opens his mouth. The moss
floats off down the stream with its
burden of fleas, and when it is out
