Impure Food.
The French do not enjoy their food without
uspicion any more than we do, bat they
neem w iaxe tolerably energetio measures
towards securing the pnrity of the artiolen
they consume. A Trench journalist wander
ing auotit what be calls the "nam fair, says
he suddenly became aware of a great tumult
not far from him, and, turning to ascertain
the canse, perceived a cart which appeared to
Deiong 10 Borne empioyos or tne prefect of
ponce, ana which was last tilling with harm,
sausages, and other savory articles, amidst
much laughter and plenty of "chaff." This
operation oame to an end, and the agents of
the prefect were about to retire, when cario
sity prompted the amused spectator to enter
into conversation with one of them respect
ing this strange scene. "Sir," said this in
dividual, with honest pride, "Paris has no
idea of the services we render it. But for
ns(jthe population would be deoimated.
You see, sir, in a town like this, in
which you must satisfy nearly 2,000,000
appetites daily, the supply of the public
need offers facilities for imposition which
would lead to universal fraud, if some mea
sures were not taken. Everything that can
be eaten or drunk tempts the cupidity of
adulterators. It would be well if innocuous
frauds alone were perpetrated. He who
adulterates coffee with chicorv. cheannta
neurit, potato, Beetroot, carrot, turnip.
maize, can give no one gastric fever, but
some will eJ?ly ground bricks ! Oil may
be adulterated in thirty-eight different ways.
As to this, it needs only to be remarked that
Paris consumes more than a million litres of
salad oil; but only 100,000 litres at most of
real olive oil find their way to the capital.
"What Is the rest made of ? Truffles are made
at will with yams, mushrooms, and even cork.
In the lowest class of restaurants you find
tats', horses', and even ruts' flesh, cooked,
Yes, sir, without continual supervision con
tinual mishaps would occur. Thi super
vision is exercised in the most varied forms.
Sixty inspectors incessantly keep watch over
the butchers' meat; wine-tasters are
employed to judge of the beverages
sold in three thousand Parisian public
houses. At' the Halle seventy persons are
employed solely to ascertain by holding eggs
up to a lighted candle whether they are fresh
enough for consumption. As to ourselves,
sir, we form part of the scenting-out brigade.
It is our duty to discover by the smell the
condition, of all sorts of eatables offered for
sale. We begin our work every day at eight
o'elook, generally arranging not to pass over
the ground already reconnoitred by our col
leagues; but this we sometimes have to do,
as those tradesmen whose goods have
been lately overhauled are very apt
to think themselves safe, and take advantage
of their fancied security to make dishonest
profits. In twelve months we visit two thou
sand five hundred establishments, and we
bave to bring about twenty actions a week
against dishonest tradesmen. All comes
under our jurisdiction tainted meat, rotten
fruit, milk adulterated with horses' brains
whiting, etc. This is not all; we have to
examine the state of the kitchen utensils in
the five thousand eight hundred restaurants
eating-houses, and table d'hotes of the capii
tal, otherwise verdigris would claim a yearly
tribute of victims." ' y
An Artiat in Suicide.
Frenchmen who do not believe in a God
and drink sugar and water for intellectual
stimulation have generally been regarded as
unrivalled in the fine and useful art of taking
themselves out of the world for no particular
cause, but an American has, at last, vindi
cated the equal art of his countrymen in this
line, and killed himself causelessly with great
applause. Ilis name was Norris GalapTane,
his age was twenty-three, he had a universe
education, and he shot himself on
his boarding-house at Natrv m sofa in
lady of the boarding-)" .et, When the
flew upstairs to heard the shot and
4' $9 carpet " 'ata room see
found two was Much "mussed," she
cally arn ?r three totters symmetri
beBt nitV' - Ml the dressing-table, a
nJ oi clothes laid out for the burial,
tne deceased boarder lying like one
ainAn One of the letters was addressed to
an editor, and said: "I write to. request the
press of Natchez, through your columns, to
allow no writer to attribute my death to any
particular cause. The idea of suicide did
not originate in Natchez, nor in the sunny
South at all,' consequently no one here can
possibly tell why I kill myself. I doubt
whether any individual in the known world
can even give a shadow of a cause. In
almost every suicide, liquor, love, remorse,
or disappointment of some kind is the sup
posed or actual cause, but in my case none of
these causes prevailed. I have seen the
world and am weary of it is about the truth."
Another letter was to the lady of the boarding-house,
politely apologizing to her for
the awkward necessity of dying on her sofa,
and cheerfully intimating that if the spirits
of the departed are permitted to hover around
places in which they were particularly well
treated in life, a grateful ghost might be ex
pected shortly. In a case like thin, specula
tion at once falls to work in search of some
Bupposable cause. Was the heavy name of
Delaplane, for instance, too muoh a weari
ness to be longer borne ? or did its bearer die
by that delusion of having seen a great deal
of this world which is so apt to infect persons
of the hoary age of twenty-three ? At any
rate, he died as the Frenchman dieth; and
Frenchmen, we all know, frequently commit
suicide for the same reason that makes "the
stars above" shine so brightly in the ancient
ballad of "Molly 13awn "because they've
nothing else to do."

A ftorth Carolina Straight Drink.
Some years since, when they were buildin'
the locks on Coal Kiver. I was over t.
Pevtona. and I stopped in at Dr. Kfillnm'a
who physicked people in that quarter at that
time. mar was a famine just then, and
great sufferin' among men, women, and chil
dren for want of the neoesoaries of life.
Leastwise, it was about the same thing. Thar
was plenty of meat, an abundancn nf nr.
and no scarcity of chicken; but the rivers
were dry, an' whisky ran entirelv short. Srm
prudent people laid in a sufficient Rtnnlr hnt.
the moat had not. How to lirinrr nn n
family 'thout red-eye was a puzzler, and
the fiufferincr was enormous. T)r Kiinm
was in trouble too; he sympathized with Viifl
neighbors, but he had a half barrel of ninety
five per cent, alcohol in his office, and as far
as he was concerned, he managed to fix up,
with sugar an' water, 'an cum. an' other. m'
Bich truck, until he made a purty fair drink.
Soein I was a friend of his, he invited me to
sr-aple it. Well, it kinder filled the room
with smell, an' just then a man from the Mud
IUver Country oame in, on his way to Raleigh
Cote House. He smelt the smoll, and says:
"I've been nigh two days from home, an' I'm
almost starvin'." "Oh," says Kelluin, point
ing to the cask, "that's it. Help yourself."
The chap brightened up, an' he drawed a
level tumbler full of the alcohol' an' afore you
could say, "Scat, you beast!" down it went.
Kellum he turned pale. Says the man, "I'm
much obliged to you. That's sarching!" an'
he turned' an' walked out. Kellum sat as if
he'd been shot, an' then jumped up. "That
won't do," said he. "That's enough to pizen
a crowd. I'll call him back and give him an
emetic." We both went to the door. He j
wasn't in sight. I run up to the creek, and
acuuiii no ran aown to tue road: but it wasn t
no use. "I shouldn't wonder," said Kellum,
"ef that chap hasn't gone and died somewhar
by himself. Thar'll be a corpse found di
rectly, and a krawner's inkwhich, an' lots of
trouble." Well, we set thar for about an
hour, talking about the poor kuss'a melan
choly fate, when all to wonst in walked the
chaPj himself, as peerfc as a wildcat. "Doc
tor, Bays he, "I'm gwine a long way np the

The Fur Trade of Alaska.
A measure having the very desirable ob'flct

and departing ' -ursery, coming in April,
So far - n aitor the middle of September.
' oM our Knowledge extends, the destruc
tion of the fur-seals upon these islands would
involve the entire extinction of the race, and
the operation could be easily effected, as
these animals have but . imperfect means of
escape or defense on shore. The bill pro
vides that the islands shall constitute a mili
tary district, with suitable officials and under
proper restrictions. The exclusion of
spirituous liquors is compulsory. There
shall be only one harbor for the trade
in skins, "to be continued as a military
reservation; ' vessels are not allowed to
cruise or anchor elsewhere within five miles
of the shore, or any person to effeet a laud
ing at anyother point on the islands. The
trade thence shall only be with San Francisco,
where two dollars per skin shall be collected
in lien of all other Government dues. The
number of seals to be killed, and the season
when killing is permitted, shall be made the
subject of rules and regulations by the Secre
tary of tho Treasury. It shall be unlawful to
kill female seals, or male "pups" less than a
year old. The use of firearms against seals
will not be permitted, nor snail anybody do
anything to drive them away. The privilege
of hunting is only allowed to natives or one
year residents. The War and Navy Depart
ments will assist in enforcing the regulations,
and the penalties for violation of the provi
sions of the act are $500 fine and six months'
imprisonment for each offense. Aside from
economical and humane considerations, there
may be family reasons for preserving these
amphibians. Some disciple of Darwin may
yet find among tnem tne ancestor of Hu
manity.
Larse Heads.
A general idea holds ground that large
heads mean large intellects, that weight of
brain indicates mental strength. But this
notion is a false one; one fact will disprove
it. Man is inferior to some apes in the pro
portion which his brain bears to his body.
When we come to animals the differences are
very striking. A continental physiologist
has been gauging the skulls of different
quadrupeds and weighing their contents.
There are beasts whose instinct approaches
to reason, and we style such intelligent; their
high instinct is not, however, commensurable
with their cerebral developments. To range
a few of the commonest animals in the order
of brain weights we have tho following de
clining scales: Cat, dog, rabbit, sheep, ass,
pig, horse, and ox. The two last have the
same weight of nerve centre in proportion to
the capacity of their bodies, but they have
only a sixth part of that of the first on the
libt; that is to say, the cat has six times as
much brain in proportion to her size as the
horse has in proportion to his size. The pig
has more than the horse, the sheep more than
the pig. Who would have thoy.ght it ? Evi
dently there are brains and brains. The
facts almost set us wondering wneiuer tue
bruin has anything to do with the intellect
at all.
