But the using of artiâ€" ficial coloring has brought forward two serious possibilities; first, that poisonâ€" ous ingredients will be used for the purâ€" pose; second, that second grade or even spoiled foods may be made by this means to appoar better than they are, and so deceive the purchaser. By the use of mineral coloring, peas, beans and other vegetables are sometimes greened before canning by ‘being boiled in a very dilute solution of copper sulphate. The practice has never been common in this country, and coppered vegetables are now exeludâ€" ed from our markets by law. The leadâ€" ing brands of butter color as examined by chemists, are made of coal tar. These colors are also used extensively to give the desired tint to beverages, as sodu water, and to restore the color to fruit and vegetables that have lost it in the process if cooking. Most important of all, these colors are the great meliance of the manufacturer who puts up a very 'chea.p grade of jam, jelly and catsup, ’sn'nce tomato and apple skin and core are not up to the mark in flavor or color.

Mrs, Abel says: 4 ] In the recent campaign, for the first time in the history of English electionâ€" ecring, some women had to be forcibly removed from a meeting. They were earnest woman‘s suffragists and as the speaker of the occasion, who was no less than Sir Henry Campbellâ€"Bannerman, would not stop to pay any attention to them, they proceeded to hoist a banner (upside down, as it happened), and to address the audience in competition with the Prime Minister. After five minutes of uproarious confusion the police and some of the officials of the meeting gently but firmly half carried and hali pushed them out of the hall.â€"Harper‘s weekly, ‘ English Political Audiences Cherish Right to Heckle,.

In a company of six you have only to show an American that five are against him to convince him that he is wrong. That is just when an English workingman would become finally convinced that he was the only sane person in the room. If you have never watched an English workingman heckling Mr. Balfour on the subject of Chinese labor, you have yet to learn of what a political meeting is capâ€" able. These contests are followed by the audience with supreme zest and good humor.

The track man succeeded in reaching the station before relief arrived. For several days the telegraph wire was burdened only with routine despatches. ‘Then another epi« sode was proclaimed in the following shape; ‘To guard the driver of Down Train: ‘Carriage of secretary is on siding, where he shot a lion just now, and others are roarâ€" ing on Makindu side.

He told the train hands every day that he could pot sleep nights and his nerves wore badly shaken. There was nothing, however, for several weeks after the great day when three lions had been laid low within a few rods of the station. ‘Then came another nervoue telegram , uw an t 2 C THnZ CR the body with their paws, and at last began to drag it away, perhaps with the idea of awakening her.

It is not quite certain whether the babu was chiefly solicitous for the safety of the guard or whether he thought that the lion might take advantage of the open door to come into the office. However this may be, the distress signal from Simba had the imâ€" mediate result of starting a British sportsâ€" man in that direction. He took the next train for Simba, and under the water tank he and the railway men erected a platform about ten feet above the ground, where the Ninnrod spent several days waiting for tha visitors. His patience was at length rewardâ€" ed. The first animal he saw was a lioness, that came walking out of the scrub, very likely for the purpose of quenching hber thirst at the little stream that was leaking from the tank. When she was within about a hundred and fifty feet of the platform the hunter put a cordit bulet into her and stretched her on the ground. ‘The hunter did not leave his perch, for he thought someâ€" thing more would be doing. He was not misâ€" taken. A little later two lions came out of the high grass, and were soon in great menâ€" tal distress over the dead attitude of the dead female.

Whether the lion desired to by a ticket or whether a fellow feeling for the lonesome babu induced him to try to cultivate his acquaintance is not known, but it is quite certain that blank cartridges wore not appropriate ammunition, and that ball cartridges were in demand. It is to be supâ€" posed that they were promptly supplied, but if so, they did not make a deep impression upon the lions, for in August another bairâ€" raising telegram reached the triffic manager, as follows ‘A lion has been bothering me for three nights.

It was described as being a tall, wellâ€"defined shaft or column of bright light, standing vertically erect, its base resting upon the llofllzn, and its capital reaching high up in the skies. It was stated to have oo:tinucd shining for half an hour or more, but before night had closed in had disappeared from view.
