SALARY.
BY PAUL LAMBETH.

LONDON, June 1S.-(Specal Dispatch to
The Bee. )-London is now undergoing a
sensation somewhat similar to that ex-
perienced by the United States at the time
OF the embalmed beef exposure and for
very similar reasons. II all came from
the pure food exhibition in horticultural
hall. Westminster. Articles of common
household use, purchased in the open mar
ket had been analysed and some of the
most amazing authorizations were shown.
One OF the most peculiar and perhaps dis
gusting of them all is the adulteration Of
coffee. Not oaly were beans, peas and
chestnuts used, but scorched liver ground
fine had been added presumably to give
the beverage body.
Samples of Canned Atrocities.
Mortified housewives gathered round
large tables loaded with food receptions
and atrocities" In the center of one
table stood two seven-pound pots of rasp-
berry and currant jam. Round the pots
were arranged the ingredients that were
to be found in the jam. which consisted
OF turnips, mangel-wurzels, seaweed. saw
dust for pips, refuse from the cider press
with red and yellow ochres to color. A
large bottle of pickles about seven pounds
In weight wac made of stumps of cauli
Flower and cabbage picked in acetic aciC
instead of vinegar. Substitutes for bread
were arranged round an ordinary cottage
loaf, and consisted of peas, beans anC
potatoes, instead Of wheat flour, the bloom
being given to the loaf before baking b,
busting with chalk. Milk was shown dyet
TO look like deep cream with an anilin,
dye. s.
An, expert explained some methods b,
which tea is faxed in China. After tn,
tea has been once used the leaves ar,
faced with plumbago and magnetic oxid,
OF iron and dried. Some sausages wer,
shown, dyed to give them an attractiv,
appearance, while cheap fish had beer
dried and dyed yellow to be sold a.
Scotch smoked haddock.
For the Riddles.
One table bore the label What tn
Children Eat" Poisonous looking sweet
are made with glue and size. coal tar bein
used to color. The chief danger lies 4
the flavoring, nitrate of ethyl being use
as pineapple. valerianate OF amyl as an
pie. and a pear flavoring is induced b
treating rotten cheese with sulphuric acI
alnd bichromate of potash The llcoric
sweets so favored in poor quarters ar
colored with lampblack, thickened wit
chalk and starch and stiffened with pater
size. Boot polishes and printers Ink al
made with the same dyes as are used
these cheap sweets" the expert said.
PiIsrImaEes 10 stratford.

Divorce Law Reform.
When the royal commission on Ii
divorce laws reassembled at winchest,
house, after a two months recess son
interesting evidence was given by wi
nesses, and one or two novel suggestion
were made. One of these was that WON,

from applying for dissolution of marriag
and another was that wives should be pa
wages. 1t was also suggested that
