OUR pADDIEs HAD JUNGLEs.

Present Scandals Not First Of the
Kind, as History Shows.
The present revolt of the people
against adulterated food is by no means
the first uprising of the kind. In the
first half of the last century there was
just such another outbreak, and war
against the tainted meats, "doctored"
fish, and fake" foods was waged by
books. papers, and magazines. England
and France were the centers of the
storm at that time; but America did
not escape and an old newspaper Of the
time asserts that "two-thirds of the Ca
tawba wine manufactured in Cincin-
natl is composed of sulphuric acid and
water, with just enough of the real
juice Of the grape added to give it
flavor" The Upton Sinclair Of that
time was Frederick Accum, and his
book was called There's Death in the
Pot"
Here is bit of testimony before
commission appointed to inquire into
the sale Of tainted meat in London in
1850, which reads as if it were culled
from the minutes Of the hearing before
the Congress committee on the inspec-
ton bill:
Diseased meat is brought to London
in great quantities, and is purchased by
the soup shops, sausage makers, beef
a-la-mode and meat-pie shops, etc.
There is one firm selling $500 worth of
diseased meat a week. This firm has
very large foreign trade. The trade
in diseased meat is very alarming.
am certain that if 100 carcasses of
cows were lying dead in the neighbor-
hood of London, could get them all
sold within twenty-four hours, it does
not matter what they died Of"
There was any amount Of testimony
Of this sort given before the commits
sion. 1t was ascertained that there
were in London three large insurance
companies which made a speciality Of
insuring cattle against disease. When
cattleman reported some of his ami
mails sick the insurance company which
had taken the risk paid the insurance,
took the diseased animal, and sent it
to the large slaughter houses which the
companies maintained in the country,
where it was killed and prepared for
the London market. The great slaugh-
ter-houses of the three insurance COM
panies were employed entirely in the
killing and preparing for the market Of
diseased cattle. The officials and stock
holders of these insurance companies
were all ''eminently respectable people"
moving in the highest social circles"
Some Of thespecimens Of food purchased
at random in the markets were found
to have been treated thus: A fish was
found to have been painted with arsen-
lite of copper. A pigeon was colored
with chromate of lead; a fowl with
chromate Of lead, gamboge, vermilion,
and three other active poisons; an or.
ange with red lead; an apple with a
dangerous dose of chromate of lead.
Tennyson took up the cry, and in his
MAUD" excoriated the adulterators of
food and drink. This revolt of the poi
soned lasted until about 1856, when 1t
died down, passed away, and was for
gotten. How long will it be before the
present war for pure food passes into
history, and is likewise forgotten p

CHAPTER XIX.

1t was not until daybreak on the fol-
lowing morning that we reached the track
of ocean-bound ships; but our voyage was
altogether in favor of Black. for the sun
had scarce risen when Doctor Osbart got
me from my bed to see what he called my

he was, and stepped on to the gallery.
All eyes were turned to the north. where,
now almost abreast of us, there was the
long and magnificent hull of the great
liner. She went at a tremendous pace
and was rapidly leaving Us. when the
great gun forward sent shell ploughing

The effect Of the call was seen upon the

The Chemistry Of Life.

There is a new idea in developing
pictures. It is that heat accelerates
chemical action, and that a hot devel-
oping fluid makes a better negative.
This is also true in the chemistry OF
life. Selfishness and carnality are
burned out Of the heart by the hot de-
veloper Of affection. And as the purest
ore comes from the hottest fires, tribu-
lation, affection and oppression are the
alchemists by whom the dross Is ether
called, the carnal spiritualized, and
the baser metal is transmitted into pure
godfrey. A. C. Welch.

CHAPTER XVIII.

1t was on the next afternoon, near to
the setting of the sun, that Doctor Osbart
came to my room with great news for me.
This business with the men has COM
pletely upset our Plans" said he. "Black
hoped to winter here; and to let the hub
bub in Europe quite subside before he
put to sea again. Now he can't do that.
There's only one thing that will keep the
hands quiet, and that's excitement. He
has determined to sail tonight; but, be-
fore we talk of that, we must have the
conditions"
What have you to ask?" said I.
"Simply this" he answered. "You
shall give your word, as a man of honor,
that you will make no attempt to leave
the ship without permission
Il accept"
Then slowly the great engines began
their work, and we swept out to the open
sea. We dned that night in the saloon
upon the deck, a commodious place light
ed by electricity, and in every way luxuri-
ously fitted. The walls of it were paneled
in white and gold, and were covered with
curious designs, old heroes fighting, old
gods drawn by lions at their chariots !;
Jason seeking the fleece in golden
barque; Orestes fleeing the Furies. The
long seats were covered in leather of a
deep crimson, and there was a small
piano. The dinner itself was admirably
served, and was partaken of by the deaf
and dumb engineer, by the doctor, the
Scotsman and myself. Black talked with
out reserve before me, knowing we'll that
l could do him no injury. He relied
mostly on the doctor for advice, and dis
cussed everything with him in the best of
tempers.
"My plan is this" he said "we're short
of oil, and Karl here is beginning to get
uneasy. 1 shall knock over a couple of
whalers in these seas and fill the tanks.
Then, as they're looking for us in mid
Atlantic, we'll get south of Madeira, and
run against two or three of the big ones
making for Rio or Buenos Ayres. We
shall pick up a good bit of money; and
it'll be month before they get on our
course that way, for I mean to let 'em
down light when it's not a case of saving
our own skim"
We passed the Danish settlement of
Godthaab early on the next morning,
though so far out at sea that l could
make nothing of it; while we lost the
coast of Greenland altogether before the
day had passed. q hazy shower of dust
like snow greeting our coming to the
Atlantic and to perceptibly warmer lat
itude. During this day, and until we
sighted the Shetlands, the small screw
tender kept our course, and we exchanged
signals with her every morning.
Finally we sighted the coast Of ireland,
and l know not if I have ever had a
greater pleasure than that distant view.
1t was as though l had passed from q
dead land to the land of man. from the
| silent ways of night to the first break
| ing of the day.

The obese citizen who was headed to-
ward the depot six blocks away paused
to look at his watch.
"Haye I time to catch the next train

policeman on the corner.
"You have the time" replied the Off
Ger, "but you don't seem to have the
