The Fiery Pepper.
----
“What do yoa do with your cocoannt .
eh- ?” asked a U'-cord reporter of ft
prominent candy manufacturer. “.Sell
them to be m ado into pepper,” said he,
sod the aroused curiosity of the reporter
was not quieted b.V the further statement
that the shells were really ground and
o«>(i by spice men to adulterate pepper
and other of th sir wares. Further in
▼mitigation sho wed that a factory where
the shells arc ground up is situated at
the corner of Line street, and the rail
road in Camden, capacity and is a of one-story the mill
brick building, the
being about two tons of brought ground shells the
per day. The shells are to
factory in bags ami deposited they in the
routing department,. Here are
carefully scraped and put in great revolv
lag ovens, which are constantly turned
over beds of blazing coals. Some of
th<- hells are roasted a light, brown,
while others come out crisp and black,
After bein" carefully sortdft, the dark
shells are put in reduced hoppers in the grinding powder
department and to fine
like pepper. The brown shells are not
ground so fine, and come from the mill
looking exactly like ground coffee. The
Camden factory is said to have been in
operation fora about, a month. The
nunlls cost very little, and the milling is
done at an expense of about 2 or 24
A representative ot a leiumg spice
house, in said sneaking of this novel prepa
ration, that while his house had not
used it, lie supposed it was a harmless
adulteration for spices. “We have our
own methods of adulteration,” said he,
“and soil to the trade probably more
