Pll take it for ten years in advance.”
Eight more visitors had the same ex-

“ What d’ye mean by publishing fashion

she asked. “ I made a bonnet accord

quality. In Chicago it has been com
monly reported that it is the almost-
general practice there to mix stearins
with commercial lard for the purpose of
hardening it. Spices also are largely
adulterated; their character easily per
mitting unscrupulous manufacture and
handling. Of twenty-seven samples of
mustard, carefully selected in New York
from responsible dealers, Dr. Smart
found that only six were entirely pure.
It is consoling, however, to be told that
adulterations in this country “ seldom
take a form that is dangerous to health. ” j
However this may be, there are possibil
ities of such a peril wherever adultera
tions are resorted to. A purchaser who |
pays for a pure article and does not get:
what it is guaranteed to be should have
some stringent power of redress, and
this is what the English law and what
the law just passed in New York unde?-.
take to give, besides affording inciden
tal protection to the publio by author-;
izing a rigid system of inspection.—Bak*

Thus the great man, heeding the edi

his most serviceable act to the republic,

the tube, looking at your hand with the
left while your right eye is fixed on
something through the tube. If you hit
the right position, which you can do,
putting the edge of the hand against,
not over, the lower end of the tube, you
will be surprised to see very clearly, tho
things beyond. It is a very easy, but
most surprising little experiment, and
will please old as well as young people.
You will, of course, wish to know why
this is so, why there seems to be a holo
where there is none. Tiio scientific
journals are talking about this, but their
explanations would hardly suit young
sters. We usually look at the same
thing with two eyes, and the two images
make one in our mind. Her© we sep
arate the two eyes in an unusual man
ner, and the mind brings together the
circle made by the tube for one eye and
the hand seen by the other, and makes
one of them. You can vary this in sev.
eral ways. If, when looking through
the hole in the hand, you stretch out
tho left thumb so that it will be seen by
the right eye through the tube, the
thumb will appear to be directly across
the hole in your hand. Instead of look
ing at your hand, use a card; make a
black spot on the card as big as a half- I
dime, and look at it as before; the black j
spot will appear to be floating in the I
center of the hole, with nothing to hold |
it there. Another variation is to make j
a round hole in the card of the size of the I
half-dime ; look at this hole with the left I
eye, so that the real hole will be in the j
imaginary hole ; the hole will appear ex-
eeedingly bright, and surrounded by a
ling of shadow.

silver, the water is supplied by a dol

the water to come out hot and on the
other cold, while the movement of the
tongue allows the bath to empty -itself
