It nay or may net be a matter of In-
3,1 terest te the community te nole that
;i?'; S-VOIH5 Republican faction has tumbled out
jMr the ether at the county prinen. There
lb . i j ,,
M iucii a constant lumieu Detwcen incse
people, and the county efllcen are se
steadily snatched by them from ench
ethr, that probably most people would
tie, aurprlMd if there should be peace
among the politicians when the feast is
spread. Upen this occasion, however,
there docs happen (e he something
afforded for comment In the fact that
an old underkecper of the prison was
supplanted by a fresh country hayseed,
who had ventured up te apply for seme
'petty piece of the spoils and te And ene
of the biggest places Hung nt him.
The countryman may find himself equal
te tbe dituatlen, but as these who
elected Jilm te it did net have
any previous acquaintance with hi in, it
will be a sheer piece of luck if the new
underkeeper proves efficient. It docs
net Impress the public with a high idea
of the intelligence of the majority of the
new prison beard that .they should
undertake te put out nn efficient man
with one nbeut v horn they knew noth
ing; nor should mc think that the
political associates of these men would
be very much pleased with the stupidity
of their performance. The matter illus
trates very clearly hew very stupidly
peeple may act, when they surrender
the guidance of their reason and permit
themselves te be animated only by party
feeling. The majority faction in the
present beard, having a pull Dick and
pull Devil tlme,ln selecting their friends
for office illustrated their headless help
lessness by appointing a man whom
none of them knew and nobody wanted.
In the het fights of the factions, ha
tred of each ether seems te be the con
trolling feeling. It is safe te say that
the heat of each side toward the olher
is greater than it Is toward the Demo
crat, who Is here In se steady n mi
nority, that he does net afford any ex
citement te the Republican politician.
It is his brother who grabs his position ;
and It is a lighting family as naturally
as sparks fly upwards.
It has the happy result at least of ex-"
posing te the public the misdeeds of
their officers, which these who nre nut
out are net slew te tell. We hear te-day
'that Inspector Xissley sold two. barrels
of cider te the prison, whlle the law
clearly says that no Insitocler shall sell
anything te It without the order of the
beard first being had. That was a for
bidden act, clearly ; and we would net
have heard of It, If the Ins Had net been
put out ; but we must say that it is net
a very big disclosure, if inspector
Nissley sold nothing mere than two
barrels of vinegar te the prison without
ma approval or me imam, his ease Is net
s- Tteyeud forgiveness,
Help for the Housekeeper.
A Philadelphia builder, Mr. Hancock,
proposes te erect houses en the four
sides of a square with a kitchen and
laundry in the centre te de the cooking
and washing for the surreuuding dwell
ings ; and It will be a very geed piau of
building In the outskirts of a city where
vacant squares remain te be built up.
It is net, however, essential te
the plau that the houses shall
be newly built around a cen
tral kitchen. The snme Idea
may be carried out nearly us cen-A-enlently
iu the built-up sections of a
city by locating cook and wash houses
within convenient rauge of the dwell
ings they seek te serve. Mr. Hancock's
plan mey have the advantage of com
pelling the houses te use the central
cookhouse, but it is doubtful whether
this is an advantage. People nre of e
many minds nbeut housekeeping that it
may be very difficult te find a colony
occupying the houses en four sides of a
city square, who will be unanimous In
their desire te use a central coakheus;
and laundry,
One would thluk that this would be n
been te housekeepers, in these days when
the scarcity of geed cooks and servants
is se great os te make housekeeping into
a real terror. Ail manner of ways hive
been tried te overcome the ditllculty,
and in greet cities apartment houses
have measurably solved It. But in the
smaller cities, where people want their
own separate houses, there Is no relief
from the need te each of nrevldlncr
their own meals. The Eurejean sys
tem.whlch furnishes at reasonable prices
meals wrved by a cook heu and car
ried te the customer in heat preserving
cates at any hour at which they may
be asked, has net liecu Introduced" te any
extent here, though It furnishes the pre
cise remedy needed for the complaint.
Why this accommodation is net eil'ered
can only be explained by the belief that
it would net be profitable te ellerlt. The
customers who would thus order their
meals are supposed net te be sufllclently
numerous te enable it te be started upon
a scale and with an equipment that
would make it profitable te maintain.
Probably this is the case ; the evil Is net
yet great enough te demand the radical
remedy that will meet it.
The people who are without cooks
struggle along while looking for them
by raaklug shift te get their meals at
hotels or bearding houses; or they order
from the club the hashed and decorated
things with flowing names tbnt ,een
satiate with their cetly sameness.
when our housekeepers nre ready for it
there Is a full remedy for their troubles
in the patronage of a neighborhood
cookhouse. The washing nuisance is
already tulseii care of by the neighbor
hood laundry.

under Arabl Pasha, but the stronger
motive In that case was the securing of
the Suez canal route te India, nnd Brit

The candle of te-day nre made of flve
main Ingredients, uane sugar, glucose,
gum and coloring nnd flavoring mutters.
Other substances are often added, ns staicb
which, though ofteu considered ns nn ndul ndul ndul
toratlen, should be looked upon as a lcult-
lmate ingredient. If nit the substances
nre pure nnd geed, the confection
manufactured therefrem cannot be
otherwise, than wholesome and nutri
tious. The sugar, glucose aud tnrch
are fat forming, and he.it producing
principles nre nrosent In many of our diet
nry staples. This fact should net be lest
sight of by consumers of candy, Doing
feeds, the various caudles should nevcr be
eaten netween meals, a they nre equlva
lent te a-liiiicli, and overyone-4-nwaro of

American conglomeration niiuce ple.
Geed, pure candy, eaten In moderate
quantity ns a dossert te a meal, even te
every meal, nevnr hurt anyone; aud such
certainly Is the logical, rational wav te eat
it. lint children must hive something te
keep them quiet, and ladles with nothing
te de must have something te amuse them
Reives; nnd further, blunted tatttcs must
have something oxccedlngly sweet te
tickle Jaded palates for theso reasons
It Is HUely that candy consumers
will go en eating their dozen nnd ene
lunches n dny, in spltoef nil their physi
cian may say te tiie ceutrarv. Yet It is an
Indlsnutable fact that no ordinary stomach
can de its work quietly nnd well if re
quired te digest mere than thiee meals per
dny, or if it receives within it anything
umiT mini v.tiur uuiween inose lliroe
meals. True, thore nre peeple who are
always eating and lunching, consuming
candles nnd cakes by the pound, who vet
scorn healthy and well; but It Is doubtful
if these poeplo evor eat a meal with relish ;
and it is certain that sooner or later dvs dvs
pepsla will overtake theui and induce n
dira repentance.
Practically, the best wav te give confec
tionery te children is te allow thorn, nfter
each meal, such a quantity of candy as
they will be likely te eat within a half-
hour or less. Then they should li.ive no
mera until nflorlhe next iue.il j nnd they
will net usually want It, If they get it thus
regularlv.
As te the kind, It should be such ns will
net readily dlssolve or " melt dewu." Seft
ercreamv candles are apt te be consumed
before the palateis Batlslled; whereas the
harder, less seluble kinds remain longer in
the mouth, yieldlng their SHcetness fera
mere' protracted period, thus Inducing
satiety, with a far less consumption of
candy.
Per the snme reason, teach your children
te dlsiohe the candy slew I v in their
mouths net te chew it. Partaken of in
this way, and at theso tlmes, the harder
candles, Ifpure, nre net only net Injurious,
but nre Indeed often decidedly bonetlclal,
and for Uicmj reasens: They are easily
digested feeds rich Iu nutriments they are
an Inducement te tane the meal short of
satiety, nnd they assist digestion. The
latter assertion may be questioned by
some, but it la n demonstrable fact that
anything which promotes the Hew of
saliva, nt the same time, through the sym
pathetic, nervous system, promotes the
Mew of thepstrlc digestive Juices. The
saliva, tee, that is swallowed with the dis
solved candy may aid digestion semew hat
?l?ei;.,t.ha,ir,0'1el.'e,1 ,no Ktemneli, though In
the light of latoinvestlgatlens this Is some
what doubtful long held opinion te the
contrary notwithstanding.
Persons inelined te adlpose nnd w he nre
opposed te it, had better let candy alone
as, for tliem, nothing is se fattening. ior ier
sUtently slender people, howevor, need
notgergo themsehes with candy in the
hepe of getting stout, for in thorn, hoiiio heiiio hoiiie
thing mere than fat-fermlug feed is noces neces
wry fur an Increase in weight.
Children under two years of ege are
hotter off without any candy whatever, ,
because their nutritious apparatus Is, net
equal te the task of properly asstmltaUBf
cane-sugar and glucose. If net dlcestM
both these substances are exceedingly apt
te fertntnt ) and It is formentatlen .of In
gest that Is the Kcmesls of baby's second
summer. '
In order te ascertain the parity of we
candy new manufactured, the writer ex
amlned SI samples of the product, taken
rrom'lhe goners! market. In general, it
may be staled that these examinations
showed as clearly as anything could that It
Is felly te expect te get something for
nothing. When the price or tbe candy was
se low as te preclude the possibility of pay
ing for thn making and the sugar with a
profit ben I de, there was added seme cheap
foreign substnuce, usually pipe clay, te
bring the thing up te a paying basis. Es
pecially was this the case with the very
cheap imitations of fine goods. It was In
this class of products, tee, that the most in
jurious coloring matters were detected.
AOUI.TKRATIOXS IN CANDY. ,
Here Is a list of the Impurities and adul
terations found in ID of the CI samples of
candy examined :
Chalk In five samples. ,
I'lp clay (term alba) In ten Hnmplcs.
Pronte (copper and line alley) In one umple,
I'rntslnn blue In one sample.
Vermilion In one sample,
Fuchtln (aniline red) fn three tuimples.
Chrorae j-ellevr (eliminate of lead) In one
sample.
It Is preM)r te slate here that these SI
specimens of candy were net fair average
samples, but were such as seemed by their
appearance and price te merit suspicion.
Heme kinds of confectionery are wrapped
in brilliantly colored pnpetit. As children
frequently put theso In their mouths and
even chew them, the writer analyxed 15 of
such wrappers for poisonous coloring mat
ters, Willi the result of finding arsenlc iu
four, nnd chremate of lead In two,
With regard te the probable effects of the
Impurities found, It may be stated that
chalk, when pure (and it usually does net
contain harmful impurities), Is net especi
ally Injurious, though possibly it might
form concretions In the intostlnes If large
quantities were taken. Pipe clay Is analo
gous te nlosterof parls,but does net harden
or set llke the Intter when mixed with
water. Llke chalk, it also may form con
cretions In the feed tract, though It could
net be called poisonous. Nevertheless it is
an adulteration and u fraud ; It is net an
essential ingredlent of geed candy, but is
added for the sole purpose of gain,
llronze coloring mattrir, an alley of zinc
and copper, It is need less te say, Is n dan
gerous compound te swallow repeatedly,
be the amount ever se small, for llke ether
metnls, theso tend te accumnlate In the
system, se that small doses repoated may
seen exert n combined lufluonce. Prussian
blue Is furre cynulde of Iren, n salt net
poisonous, but certalnly objectionable.
Vermillion found in ene sample, is a bl bl
snlphuret of mercury a salt of n metal
that ought never te go Inte the human
stomach. It. tee. Is cumulative In Its ac
tien. Anlllne red Is net poisonous If pure,
yet, llke ether nulline colors. It is objection'
able en account or Its liability te contain
arsenlc nt times. It dees net soeui foaslble
for confectioners te have eacli package an
alyzed for the mineral, but manufacturers
of theso dyes might easily put them up free
from it for such purposes as confectlonory.
Ne arsenlc was found, howevor, In the
samples containing the anlllne red.
Chrome yellow, or canary yellow chro chre chre
maeo of lead, found In une sample of candy
nnd in two of the wrappers, is of ceurse a
cumulative .poison, though the quantity
present, is the candy nt least, was small.
That in the candy was mixed with Prus
sian blue te make n groom
Most of the foregoing poisonous coloring
matters were nainted en the surface or the
candlos,theugu in seme Instances they were
liitimately mixed with the entire mass.
New the remedy for this ntate of things
is net in letting candy alene. The writer
lias recolved many letters stating in effect
that: "If the advice given in the adultorn adultern adultorn
tlen nrtlcles recantly publlshed in the
Vhpalch were followed, one's dally die
tary would be narrewed down te air. and
It Is questionable Ifoven that Is pure." Ne
such ndi ice has, howevor, been given in
theso columns; what has been urged Is te
pay reasonable prlces ler things, or de
without thorn. This is doubly true of
candy. If yen want te get pure goods of
this kind don't oxpect te get thorn for less
than glucese is worth; if you de you will
get nlpe clay nnd werse. Ifyourmenoy

llavored preparations should bonveldud for
the reason that they contain large quanti
ties of ossential oils or artificial OHSonces,
both of which nre objectionable. The oils
are irritating te the stomach, and the arti
ficial ossencos nre made iu most instances
from fusel oil, nn nuld, and oil of vitriol.
Tew if any of the " pure fruit ossencos''

On roidlnglhe foregoing list of Impuri
ties and ndultcrntlens found, the skeptical
wlllask: "if theso things be, why de we
net hear of seme ene belng poisoned overy
day?" In the first pluee the quantity of
oisen is usually small, se that immcxllate
effects ure net produced, and ultimate
effects nre overlookod or attributed te
something olse. A short time nge n Phila
delphia baker was coin Icted of poisoning
n number of peeple by chremate of lead,
which he had put Inte rolls te glve thorn
a somblasce of eggs, which were nbsent.
The s.uue poison had been used
before, but it was only when used
In cempirntlvely larger quantity than

said or the man w he puts plpe clay iu his

A prominent confectioner told the writer
recently that If n geed adulteration law
were passed in this state and enforced,
quite a number of confectleiiorv nuimrm
would have te gc out of business, u3 thelr
only trade was in goods .vhich, by reason
of adulteration, were placed en the market
at a low or prlce than gouulue goods could be
produced for. The writer's analyses cer
tainly confirm the candy man's opinion.
