British Government Threatens to Selie th Port to Collect Interest on Bond. Great Britain Is adding to her complica tions in Central America by prepnrlng t take aggressive measures for the collection of tbe Interest on bonds negotiated by Honduras 20 years ago for the construction of a nilroad from Puerto Corteit to the bay of Ponseca, a distance of 240 miles. The bonds amounted to 30,01)0,000, and were mostly sold In Eng land. The Interest now amounts to nearly 30,000, and tbe proposition of the British government la to seize the Ilouduranenn ports and collect the customs revenue un'.tl t bo claim is satisfied. Oaiy CO miles of the rond was ever completed aud they art now operated by W. B. Valentine, ol New York. anew'state. The Mosquito Reservation Annexed to Nicaragua, The Nlcaraguan government has recontly done away with Mosquito reservation, which has been the cause ol tbe tecent trouble., and has incorporated It as a state of Nicaragua, with the name of "Department of Zolny,'' named after the president of the republic. This action bus been olllcially commiiuicHted to the state department. Tbe eigullicnnce of the movement has attracted little publio at tention, but It Is stated by ofllciiils that it in volves greater considerations than the armed occupation of Corinto. Now that tbe latter crisis Is past, officials are turning tbeir at tention to what Ureat Britten will do toward Nicaragua's oourse in creating tbe new state and thus Indirectly terminating all British authority or Intlueuoe in the Mosquito country. "Tbe importance of the creation ot the new state arises from tbe political struggles sinos 1860 over th Mosquito country. In that year England and Nicaragua mad s ' treaty by which Nicaragua was given sover eignity over th Mosquito territroy, but tbt latter retained the right ot sell-government. This latter right was as broadly constructed as to Inolude coining money, collecting duties etc Ho much trouble resulted that Franoit Joseph of Austria was called In as arbitrator in 18H1. Ills decirlon was largely aenilmeu. lal. It allowed tb Ntearaguan flag to Ik raised In the country and also allowed the Mosquito people their own flag, Tbe con tention a to who governs i th country con tinued until lost year, when Nicaragua took loroibl possession aud expelled British Con sul Hatch, who was accused ot encouragiug a rebellion agulnet the Nlcaraguan control ol the territory. This expulsion ol Hatch and other British subjects has been th cause ol the trouble Just settled. Bat while th settlement has been pending Nicaragua has permanently intrenched bur elf In tb disputed territory and has estab lished a complete International system ol government. It Is an execution of the plan gainst whtoh tbe British consul was accus ed of exciting rebellion, and for this reason there Is much apprehension as to whether Great Britain will assent to the obliteration of the old Mosquito country whloh was the seat of all British Influence in Nicaragua. Tha new state extends along almost tbe en tire Atiantio coast line of Nicaragua. Th southerly portion Is near Oreyiown, tb east ern tnrmiuns of tbe Nloamguau canal, and this fact has given the country Its chief im portanue. Now that it Is Nlcaraguan state Consul Hatch will have to be accredited di rect to tbe Nlcaraguan government and not to the Mosquito authorities. Tb return ul Hatch was on ot th terms Insulted on by (treat Britain. X crease in Immigration.

L'ndoctorcd flour Is uot perfectly white, nud house keepers would send a purer brend to the table if they were willing to forego the whiteness uud take a flour of nat ural color. Alum Is likely to cause dyspepsia and n general disorder of the stomach. Carbonate of soda Is largely used to doctor a low grade of flour. Vbvlously, the fewer chemical elements administered to our stomachs the better lienlth we nre likely to have, nnd certainly the stuff of life should not be overdosed with acids for the sake of a little difference In color. The microscopic examination of sam ples of spices shows as great a per centage of sophistication as almost any other product, tiuless It be certain drugs. Every conceivable substitute Is used to make up a comixiund of spice, ostensibly pure, but alas! In reul Ity scarce a third pure, the rest any thing from ground sawdust to pulver ised brown breud. Here tbe only re sort for outwitting such practices Is to supply the kitchen with n spice mill, purchase the whole berries or beans, and refuse to feed the family on Indi gestible chips or busks. An authority assures us that sugar Is generally pure. Itlgld Insjiectlon prevents frauds for merly practiced. The canning of goods bas been vastly Improved of lute years through the en ergy of the chemists of the Department of Agriculture, under Dr. Wiley. 8o much adulteration anil preserving were used that every bulletin showed almost universal sophistication. Poison from lead tops Is now almost wholly avoided, while a purer tlu Is used for the cutis. The sulphurous and salicylic acids fot Insuring preservation are more care fully used, at least, ou this side of the. Atlantic, France bclug the greatest offender for uiauy years. The niagtiltudo of tbe canning trade makes It Imperative that housekeepers should examine all such foods before being consumed. No can should hold Its contents after lielng opened. Tbe air Immediately begins the chemical nctlou upon the tin, and fermentation nnd putrefaction set iu immediately. A good, pure fla vor should alone be noticed upon open ing. The cntis should not look dull nnd leady. This would show a cheap arti cle, more lead thau the law allows. Well cooked brands aro safest, as the more cooking is given u fruit or vegeta bio the less likely salicylic acid litis been employed us a preservative.

It Is said that the expression, "There Is a skeleton In every closet," nroso from the following Incident: A young Italian student, II tiding he was dying, , fearing to break the news to his mot h er, ndopted the following device: llo Informed her that he wits III, nud It bud been foretold be would not recov er until he lind worn n shirt mnde by ft woman who had no trouble. Tho widow soon discovered that It wns no ensy tnsk to find such n person, but tit length was referred to a lady who seemed surrounded with every com fort and happiness nud possessing u husband who seemed devoted to her. The widow mnde known her request, nud for an nnswer was shown it closet where n skeleton hung stipcndcd from It Ileum. Khe wns told It was the re mains of the lady's former lover, who from motives of Jealousy had been slain by her husband, and that lie com pelled her to visit It every day.
