CURED FOODS SAFER
Less Liability of Germs Than in
ld-Treated Articles.
Medical Authorities Find Tendency
Toward Mild PreservstiVe Treat
ment Not Without Danger In
Ham, Bacon and Butter.

New York.-For some time past tho
public taste has been gradually grow
ing in favor of mild-oured articles,
with the result that at the present
moment strong salted or smoked
foods are not in evidence as they used
to be and are rarely called for The
ham and the bacon must be mild
cured. and even butter must be fresh
and absolutely without salt flavor
This preference for the so-called
mild cured article has undoubtedly
furnished an excuse on the part of the
caterers for the use of stronger an
tiseptics, salt and smoke, and antis'
optics which are, comparatively speak
ing. tasteless, or at any rate which
add no special flavor to the food. The
old.fashioned antiseptics. salt and
smoke. are thus sharply distin-
guished from modern antiseptics, in
asmuch as the former not only pre-
| served food but also served as con
! diments. In the case, however. of Ger
tain preserved fooo although the
! salt may be left out, the food loses
! its individuality. The kipper, for ex-
ample, is inseparable from the smoky
flavor. as is also dried haddock or
dried salmon.
We have heard that a smoke es-
sence" is employed to impart the kind
of palatablity associated with prop
erly smoked food, but such practice.

The sextant. whose service in polar
trips has been reported by the ex-
plorers. is an instrument small enough
to be conveniently held in the hand,
and is equally well adapted for meas
uring the altitude of celestial objects,
in order to obtain the latitude and
local time, or for measuring the an
gle between the moon and sun, or the
moon and fixed star, to ascertain
the longitude.
II is called sextant because the
measure is recorded on an arc of GO
degrees, one-sixth of circle, says
the New York World. II consists of a
frame. usually of metal, stiffened by
cross braces. The arc at the bot
tom of the frame is marked off with
double the number of degrees actual
ly measured.
This is done because the fixed and
movable glasses attached to the in
strument give a double reflection OF
the objects observed and thus form
an angle with reference to each other
equal to only half the angular dis
tance between such objects, one oi
which is seen directly and the other
by reflection. The arc of 100 degrees
thus records the actual angle.

Alberti's divorced wife recently mar
ried Professor Bendix, with whom she
was married prior to marrying Albert.
She was first married to prominent
farmer who died a few years after
wards, leaving her a considerable for
tune. Then she married her present
husband, Professor Bendix, but was d.
vorced from him and then married AL
berti. AS soon as Albert had been
placed under arrest for wholesale
swindleries she secured divorce from
him and remarked her formed hus-
band She, is therefore, very much
married woman.
J. G. Christensen continues to be
very unpopular in all sections of the
country. His return to the cabinet
was resented by the people at large,
because his connection with the AL
berti scandal has not been definitely
ettled. The sentiment became so
strong that more than $4,000 people
took part in an christensen dem
onstration in Copenhagen. They are
still clamoring to have him ousted, but
as yet the king has not signified his
intention of so doing.
The Nordenskiold Greenland expedi-
ton returned to Copenhagen last
month. The program of the expedi-
ton was carried through to the slight
est detail, and there have been some
splendid results. Some very fine col
lections were procured and much data
was gathered by the members of the
expedition regarding the natives and
their customs.
There are not many Scandinavians
who are aware of the fact that Count
Holstein-Ledroberg is a Catholic. It
is singular thing that this is the first
time since the reformation that a
Catholic has occupied such an exalted
position in so strongly Lutheran a
country as Denmark.

But this immigration League is not a bad
thing. In fact it should be encouraged in its prn
cipal efforts. In its literature It points out
that although the congested eastern cities are
overrun with thousands of sturdy laborers with
out employment and often without bread, need
for these same laborers is felt in other parts Of
the country. There is a bureau of information
in Washington which can furnish to almost every
one of the unemployed the names of several firms
which would give them work. But the unem-
ployed lack the means with which to pay travel
ing expenses, and generally suspicious of
offers of employers to advance these expenses
on their wages
Now the League proposes that the Bureau Of
Information be placed>in a position so that
employed aborers may be given transportation
TO the places where their labor is needed.
Thousands of them would be saved from want
and the country would be benefited.
The Argentine Republic furnishes immigrants
with one weeks hospitality and with free rail-
road transportation 70 any part of that country.
Other South American Republics offer similar
inducements.
What such Republics, with their scanty means
are doing, our country says the League, the
richest in the world, can certainly accomplish
The burden which such provision would entail
upon the Federal Treasury would be more than
compensated by the benefit which it would bring
about, says the League.
We are not so sure about that. IF the gov
ernment started in the business of transporting
unemployed throughout the country a profess
iona crowd of those who wished to be continually
transported would develop. We think that il 4
man refuses to go to place of employment when
the intended employer offers to pay his trans
portation, something must be wrong with the
man. He surely ought to be wiling to take
chance.
