' ' Jerald and ^dwrtisq. Newnan, Ga., Friday, March 9, 1888. Coffee, Tea, Milk, Sugar. “A cup of cofToo,’’ says Alexandre Dumas, the elder—who, by the way, was •ns groat a gourmand as he was romancist —“a cup of coffee is tin* review of the dinner.” M. Dumas was right. Of all the food adulterations that of coffee is the most palpable. Not only is the roasted and ground article adulterated, hut—incredible as it may sound—the green bean is imitated from common clay, colored with arsenic. If rumor has it correct, there is a green coffee manu factory in Chicago, where nature is “corrected” by machinery. Mechani cal appliances mold, press and dry Cook county clay into coffee beans, as it is said, at a cost of about eight cents a pound. Of course, this artificial coffee cannot 1jc used in its purity, or rather impurity. It is used to mix with the genuine article, and, strange as it may sound, the clay bean assumes the same color in roasting that the natural bean does. ' Coffee roasters all over the land ad mit that they use stale bread in roasting •coffee. The bread is freed from its crust and then cut into small cubes. The Toasters claim that the presence of this bread during the process of the roasting improves the coffee. Of course, if the latter is sold in the U*an it is impossible ito make the customer pay for stale bread, ibut if ground the bread Incomes part of flic coffee. Think of M. Dumas’ glow ing tribute to the after dinner cup, and then imagine a compound made up as follows: Chicory, peas, beans, date stones, biscuits, figs, roasted hominy, burned sugar, acorns, mangel-wurzel, dandelion, turnips, parsnips, carrots, ryo and potato flour. The introduction of chicory into coffee is defended by many roasters on the ground that it really improves the coffee and does no mischief to the drinker. But Dr. Hassell, a German authority, says that chicory in prolonged use is in jurious to health. He claims that the root—belonging to the class of radishes, by the way—produces heartburn, cramp in the stomach, loss of appetite, acidity in the mouth, constipation with intermit tent diarrhoea, weakness of the limbs, trembling, sleeplessness, and a drunken ■cloudiness of the senses. Professor Beer, the famous Vienna oculist, goes so far as ■to claim that chicory in large doses pro duces blindness. The adulteration of teas are even worse than those of coffees. The practice of •using exhausted lea leaves is so well known as scarcely to hear mention. These exhausted leaves are ‘‘faced,” or •colored, and fixed up with plumbago, gum, indigo, Prussian blue, turmeric, China clay, mica, soapstone or French cliallc, sulphate of lime, rose pink, Vene tian red, carbonate of copper, arsenite of copper, chromate and bi-chromate of potash and carbonate of lime and mag nesia. Other substitutes for the genuine article are leaves of the elder, willow, aloe and other plants and trees, lye tea, paddy husk, sweeping of tea house floors, A and. quartz, starch and magnetic oxide of iron. The mast dangerous of all food swind ling practices is that which lowers the nutritive quality of milk. Its direct ef fect is largely upon infants and small children. It is the opinion of the ablest medical observers that half of the infant mortality in cities is due to sophisticated milk. Professor Wiley, of the United States department of agriculture, asserts that “it is doubtful whether 10 per cent, of the milk which reaches the table is pure.” The principal adulterant of milk in those modern times is water. The cream is skimmed and water is added to restore the bulk and weight. The color is restored by coloring matter. Flour or starch, boiled white carrots, milk of al monds, sheeps’ brains, gum tragacantli, •carbonate of soda and chrome yellow also en ter into milk as adulterants. There is practically no limit to the adulteration of sugar. Cane sugar is n mufactured from grape or starch glu cose, wheat and potato flour, tapioca starch, blood, pipe clay, marble dust, gypsum, lione dust, lead, iron, lime and sand. The confectionery sugar consists of glucose, terra alba, chalk, arrowroot, sand, wheat and potato flour, and hy drated sulphate "of lime. These articles are colored, as the case may require, by cochineal, indigo and Prussian blue, car bonates of copper and lead, white lead, vermillion, gamboge, chromates of lead, sap green, arsenite of copper, Indian red, umber, sienna. Vandyke brown, cobalt, smalt, Naples yellow, bisulphate of mer cury. sulphate of arsenieum. bronze •powders or alloys of copper and zinc. Speaking upon the law concerning Adulterants, Manager Robert M. Floyd remarked: “The English have dealt with the question of food adulteration very intelligently, and, as experience has shown, very profitably to the empire. Adulteration of food had grown to enor mous dimensions some years ago in Eng land. A parliamentary commission re ported that scarcely an article that was served on the table was free from fraudu lent admixture or was what it pretended to be. The result was the passage of an act of a simple and comprehensive nature, which required that all manufactured articles of food should be labeled with a statement of all their ingredients, fraud, upon detection, being punished with ex treme severity. If coffee contained chicory the manufacturer and seller must make this fact distinctly known. The proportion of corn starch employed in tempering mustard, and incidentally expanding its bulk, must be stated. And so through the long list of comestibles and condiments the law enforces perfect candor between buyer and selier. i he effect of this legislation was to purify the trade and then to bring it to unprece dented proportions. The reason why Great Britain has a monopoly, or some thing very like it, in the condiment trade of the world, is because her great houses guarantee purity.”—Chicago Herald. Celluloid for Sheathing Ships. In experiments during tlie past year, celluloid has proven an excellent slieath- €|ng for ships, in place of copper, over which it has some advantages. Another application of a valuable material is the use of the lately cheapened aluminum for dental plates, which are better than rub ber, and cheaper and stronger than gold. Winter in Dakota. “I was at the house of an old Scotch man a year or two ago,” said an old Da kotan. “Several of us young people were sitting at the table in the living room playing cards. Outside a blizzard was howling. The old man said: “ ‘I think I will go out to the sheds and see how the stock are.’ “ ‘Don’t you go,’ I replied. “ *1 guess I will.’ “Ilooked over my shoulder and said: ‘See here, old mail, don't you try that; you stay right here.’ You may think this was considerable fuss to make, as the sheds were not over four rods from the house; hut 1 had become acquainted with winter weather on the prairies. We went on with our game and nothing more was saiil. About ten minutes later I looked up and the old man was gone. ‘Did your father go out?’ I asked one of the girls. ‘Yes,’ site replied, ‘anil I don't see what keeps him. I wish you would go out and find him.’ “I wrapped up and started out, first taking tlie precaution to take one end of a rope, which I trailed after me. About half way between the sheds and the house 1 found the old man on his hands and knees in the snow, which was seven feet deep, crawling about, trying to find the house. He was then nearly dead, and ten minutes more would have fin ished him. I picked him up, and car ried him to the house, where with snow, ice water, and whisky, supplemented with an hour or two of hard work, we managed to save his life.” “How do people manage to live in such a climate?” “Live? Why, they prepare for it. The early comers generally put up sod houses, and there is nothing in the world so warm as a sod house. You can walk around barefoot on the lloor of one, if properly constructed, in the coidest weather. After they have been there long enough settlers generally build log houses, hauling logs thirty or forty miles for the purpo-e. These, houses are warm a:%d comfortable. Ko long as you don’t have to go out you don't know what winter is. But the sod house is not to be treated with disdain, I assure you.” “How are they built?” “In the first place a frame of boards, the size the house is to be, is put up so as to give the house a nice appearance in side; the roof also is boarded over. Then the sod is cut with a plow, and a bank three or four feet thick is raised all around this frame. Every sod is laid as carefully as a mason lays a brick, the roots up, and all openings are filled in with fine dirt. Openings are made for the windows and doors, whidii have frames extending from inside to outside. These will contain sometimes three win dows for winter—always two. When the sod rampart is raised to the height of the roof, poles are laid on and tlie»; sod put over those. The roots hold every thing firm. Y’ou would he surprised to see the roots. Some of those grass roots are as thick as my finger, and extend down from from ten to fourteen feet.” “What?” “It's a fact, I assure you. I have fol lowed them down myself when digging wells in that blue joint grass land. Why, a man in plowing lias to stop and sharpen his plow every eighty rods if he cares anything for his team. The blacksmith <. aws out the point, but that and the edge both have to lie filed down as sharp as possible, and then, as I say, sharpened every eighty rods. But to return to the sod house. After the outside is com pleted the inside is finished up to suit the taste and pocket of the proprietor. Some have only the earthen floor, and others have a board floor, and are divided up into two or three rooms. And, I tell you, for winter comfort in Dakota a sod house beats them all. Besides these, there are dugouts on the side of a hill, and occasionally you will meet one on the prairie. The class of settlors that come in there as a rule have to put up with al most everything the first year or two.”— Milwaukee Cor. Chicago Times. Truth of Weather Lore. The persistent survival of weather lore in these days of intellectual emancipation is not at all remarkable when we con sider the extent to which the vulgar say ings embody real truths. A few years ago Messrs. Abercromby and Marriott embarked on an extremely interesting inquiry with a view to determine, by actual comparison, how far the popular proverbs express relations, or sequences, which the results of meteorological science show to be real. The investiga tion proved that something like a hundred of the more popular sayings are, under ordinary conditions, trustworthy. Such being the case, we need not be surprised that simple country folk prefer familiar couplets to all the “isobars.” “cyclones’ and “synchronous charts” in the world. If “hills clear, rain near,” means the same as • ‘the presence of a wedge shaped area of high pressure, accompanied by great atmospheric visibility, is likely to be followed by the advance of a disturb ance with rain and southerly winds,” which for all practical purposes it does, the preference is justified on the mere ground of breath economy. The thirty- one words demanded by science stand no chance against four. But it is unfortunate that, along with the limited number of folksayings founded on truth, there has survived a very large number founded on the grossest error. These latter have borrowed cre dence and respect from the proved credi bility of the others, and apparently they are all destined to sink or swim together. Hammer as we will at certain favorite proverbs which we know to be based upon error, it is all in vain. The rever ence for tradition is too much for U3. And of all the superstitions, pure and simple, which defy our attempts at de struction, the most invulnerable are those ascribing certain effects to the influence of the moon.—John Westwood Oliver in Popular Science Monthly. The Contribution Boxes. There need be no fear but that those | who want to “pay for their religion,” as some like to put it. will he given op portunity to do so. The man who wants ; to help pay for the preaching of the gos- | pel doesn’t need to have a pesky contii- | Inition box slid gracefully along under his nose every time lie attends service. I Nor is there any reason why the amount of money—usually so small—which is taken every Sabbath, in the morning and evening collections, may not be con tributed in some other and less awk wardly conspicuous manner. There are many ways in which people can be led to understand that if they wish to con tribute they can do so in a quiet and un ostentatious way. and there is no doubt whatever but that those who want to give will find a way.—American Maga zine. Electric Eight Buoys. The lighthouse board is a Unit to under take experiments which will have an im portant bearing on the lighting of dan gerous points in our rivers ;uid harbors. It is nothing less than the lighting of buoys by electricity. The method at present in use for illuminating buoys con sists in supplying them with oil or gas. "With both of these it is necessary to re plenish the source of illumination peri odically. and this means additional trouble and expense. Besides, in most cases, tlie buoy is allowed to remain con stantly lighted, as it is not visited daily. Hence it appears that the electric light is especially adapted to this purpose, as it requires no attention whatever and is under control at all times.—New Orleans Pioavune. South Pacific Island Products. Both New Britain and New Ireland are exceedingly fertile. Every tropical prod uct can be raised here with success. The inhabitants have abundance of provisions in the shape of bananas, taro, yams, sweet potatoes, bread fruit and cocoa- nuts, but very little fruit, although the latter is being introduced by the mission aries and traders. Unlike most other volcanic islands in the Pacific, there is no rocky soil to be found hex-e; everywhere it is a deep, rich vegetable loam. In most tropical countries the soil has to be cleared of a thick growth of jungle be fore cultivation becomes possible; here nothing but long grass obstructs the efforts of the agriculturist. Cotton, cof fee, sugar cane and tea could be raised with little trouble, yet there are probably not 100 acres of these products in culti vation in the entire group, the great drawback to commerce here being the scarcity of cheap labor, for no native will work for another for any length of time unless well paid with the highly prized divara.—San Francisco Chronicle. Cranks at tlie German Capital. The number of deranged people trying to gain access to the emperor of Germany is remarkable. Hardly a day passes without such an occurrence. The other day two such unfortunates entered the palace simultaneously. It was a man and a woman. The latter was the wife of a poor boatsman, asserting that she was a near relative of the emperor’s and had to see him after years of absence. The man was well dressed, with a look of distinction about him, and a flow of white hair on his head and long whiskers, altogether a venerable looking, sympa- thel»; figure. He said he had engaged to marry the daughter of the king of Italy, and being a German and a subject of the emperor he had to obtain his majesty’s permission before perfecting the mar riage. Both persons were taken to the insane ward of the Hospital of the Charite at Berlin.—Foreign Letter. Knicknacks in Wood. Early in the present year the mania for knicknacks i:i pale shaded and painted woods took a firm hold of Paris ians, in whose gay city the idea origi nated. At first these productions were very crude, but that these things were fancied was sufficient to lead to many improvements in the various colors and varnishes used in this method, which is known as the “vernis Martin process,” until now the work accomplished is really artistic. It is not likely, either, that it will ever become very common. The work requires great care and pa tience, and if these be not exercised it will be sure to result in failure. Great skill is not called for. Any one fairly clever with the brush may undertake the work without fear.—Philadelphia Even ing Telegram. Discarding: Rubbers. Tlie fashion of discarding rubbers in wet weather and having the shoes oiled instead was set by the police, letter car- j riers and car drivers, and is now being I followed by thousands, whose feet are in- ' j ured by wearing rubbers. Those who j have to face a winter out of doors and i who complain that rubbers pain or ’ cripple them, unite in declaring that to j keep the feet warm and dry it is only j necessary to wear shoes a size or two too I large, oil them and put in a felt or cork j insole under a woolen stocking.—New Y'ork Sun. Endurance of an Eskiiuo. A medicine man of the tribe, in order to prepare for himself a drum or drum head to accompany his peculiar religious rites, has been known to take a reindeer skin, soak it in the water until the hair was loose, aud when it was frozen as stiff as a board place the pleasant thing against the bare skin of his body until it was thav^J out and then hold it there an hour or two until it was dry as a bone. There is little wonder that such people need no seal or walrus oil to warm their habitations of snow. Tiie only singular thing is that they do not sleep out of doors all winter to prevent being over come by the heat in the snow houses.— Frederick Schwatka. Study of the Scriptures. Tlie study of the Scriptures as a literary j fad which was begun by some seekers after new tilings has not developed the | special interest that was expected: but ' one person is spoken of who, having : taken to the study of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures from the merest cu riosity. has developed a new interest in the Christian religion.—Boston Tran- j script. Large Flock of Blackbirds. , A flock of blackbirds that must have been nearly two miles in length was seen by the passengers on a Pennsylvania railroad train recently. The birds were so numerous that they darkened the sky for a lev.- minutes and presented a most novel spectacle.—New York Evening World A debt of gratitude is too often cons promised at about ten cents on a dollar. The Religious Portion. “What is the most religious portion of the body?” asked Maudie the other day. i And, no one guessing the answer, she told it: “The head, because it ik between j two temples.”—Jewish Messenger. [ What is this Disease that is Coming Among Us? Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The patients have pains above the chest and sides, and some times in the back. Thev feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, es pecially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is. poor. There is a feel ing like heavy lead on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does j not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clam my. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish-colored ex pectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he be comes nervous, irritable and gloomy, andlias evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation i in the head when rising up suddenly. ; The bowels become costive; the skin is j dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de positing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population lias this disease in some of its varied forms. It lias been found that physicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver com plaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treat ment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspep sia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Seigel’s Cu rative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON. Mr. John C. Hemptinstall, of Chula- firmee, Cleburn county, Ala., writes: “Wy wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel’s Syrup that she says she would rather be without food than without the med icine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medicines put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any sufferer if he can get it in no other way. I be lieve it will soon sell in this State bet ter than cotton.” TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS. Mrs. S. E. Barton, of Varner, Ripley county, Mo., writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail. SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD. I was so low with dyspepsia that there was not a physician to be found who could do anything with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I road your pamphlet called “Life Among the Shak ers,” which described my disease bet-! ter than myself. I tried the Shaker j i Extract of Roots and kept on with it [ until to-day I rejoice in good health, i Mrs. M. E. Tinsley, Bevier, Huhlen- burg county, Ky.
