Roton Commerctal Dulletin, Inralsing adulteration to the dignity of a eclence, the manufacturers of confectionery ave dono their part. Properly, therg aro only three component varts in pure confectionery,— the sugar, or body of tiie matter; the extract, or flavoring quality of the same; and the color- {ng property. To snch a’” degree of ingenuity lave candy-makers nrrived, that some kinds of thefr wares ara put up for the market with only avery slight proportionof the first, and with the coloring nnd flavoring of so cheap a quality that their manufactured articles can be bought at tho samo price per pound as the plain sugar ftself It is not to bo sunposed that there fs no puro confectionery. Those who purchaso at our best and old-establlshed places are morally sute of getting a genutno ardele, But children do not always go to these places, They strike for tho nesrest shop or store, and whers thay ean get the most for their pennfes. The cheaper can- dlcs, of which hundreds of tons are sold every year, vantain somo of tho most deadly poisons known, among them red lead, gamboge, yver- millun, chromate of Jead, Prussian blue, ver- diter or carbonato of copper, arscuite of cupper, Brunswick grecn, the varlous oxides of fron, white lead, ete. ‘Terra albo, & kind of clay or white carth, Is very largely used, In some quall- tiea it lurm|n1 from BU to 60 per ceut of the manufactured article. i ‘Iie argument that the substances named aro used {n guantities so small that polsoning caunot * vesuit from thelr use is founded upon iguorauce, BSome of the polsons named aro known as cumu- lative, from the fact that they sccumulate in the system, and that, no_matter how smsH tho quantity taken in at each time, cach addition remalns, the constantly growiug mass working slowly and silently, producing even moro deadly cffeets than largo doscs accidéntally taken, whoso results may bo neutralized or affected by sntidotes, A distinguished physiclan lately made & deilberate statement at ou annual meet- ing of the society of which he was a wmember, that there was 1o questlon. but hundreds ol children werc slaiu every year by clicap confeee, tloucry,without the real cause of their deathjbe- fng known. Aswe hayve just stated, the articlo which is most uscd by dishonest contectioners is what s known to the trada as terra atba. It is priuci- pally brought froia Ircland, and was hrought {uto use fittecn or twenty years ago, Its firat extenslve use was during tho War, when cream of tartar, bicarbonate ot soda, pepper, ground rice, and other articles of domestic use ruse to double thelr ordinary prices. 'lerra alba wans thicn worth about 810 ar 15perton. Tho demand has brought it up toabout double thoso figures, This compound {8 nothing wmore or lesa than sctual dirt. Iu color it reacmbles dark flour or ground chalk, and {s just as Injurious as so much clay or dirt, It enters mmufi Into the compoaltion of * mixed? candics, though this does not lnply that all candies of this aort.ara adulterated with it, for some of tho choicest candies In rellablo conleetloners’ stores aro ealled ““mixed,” and are the most exponsive. ‘Mauy readers who have bought tue common fruit or wut-candy wHi remember that in letting- tho round pleces contalninge thofruit meltinthetr mouth the result was a_thick, tasteless pasto without sweetncas or flavor. This ias the “white earth,”” which was_ only frosted on thg outeide. The cheaper chocolate crcams of which childron are so fond, sro made of terra alba aod glycerine mixed tozether, the giycering keeping tno earth soft and pasty, making it ad- here 80 1t will not fall apart, and then the balls ara rolled fn tallow, with sufliclont grease to al- low one pound of clhiocolate to go as far as five or aix pound would if properly made. ‘The worst effects of tho usg of terra alba aro, that tho terrible discascs of stone and gnu‘ ara caused by tho introduction of earth fnto the system, ond the ln‘figu fucrcaso of paticnts suf- fering from these disoses Is attributed by high nedleal authoritics to the introduction of i terrible fugredicut into the confectionery nnd shinitor articlea consumed {n this country, Qlucose, or *‘graps sugar,” ls the name of ruother dangerous article extensively. used In the adultcration of candiea, It {s not, asits names would snbly, mode from grapes, but from potatoes, and its effuct Is to_pruduce’ paralysis of yarlous B""“‘"" of the system, espaclally the Kkiduoys, whero tho cifect js uot only to parilyze them, but to turs them Into a sugary substanvo; in other words, to produce Brnghi's Uisenso, a walady for whick physiciaus Lave found as yot no remedy, v V'lio reuson for the use of glucose is'the same that is given for the uso of cvery other adulter- atlon—cheapness. Qum Arable, for which it s used as a subatituto, Is_worth 5) cents u pound, white glucose sells for five or alx, Most of the chicap guin-Urops are madoe from this compound, More disgustivg than sny of the articles named, though perhaps not so huriful, are what coufectloncrs_term tho scraptogs. When & supar ship cumes Into port and {s emptied of her cargo, o good deal of sirup has adnered to tho sides of tho vessel and run down into the bilge water, The first 1s acraped off and the sceund pumped out, mixed together, and boll. @, and of this compound candy 1s made, The coloring of cheup candles, slthongh ft would hardiy como under the head of adulter atlon, Is yet n fraud, aud oftentimes a dangor- ous cue.” Instend of the cochineal fly which tho best confectionera use for tho red In thelr wares, tho unprinvipled manufacturers use aniline, a puwerful and polsoovus color.

Cronus and Rhea were the father and mother of Jupiter, and his grandfathor bore the namo of Uranus. Juplter wrote A book called ©That Urandfather of Mine,” from which :we learn that Uranus, hearing that his last-born sons, Cyelops and Centlmancs, might one day nelze his power, burled them dircctly after their birth, beneath the earth. This, naturall enough, gricyed Mres, Uranus, Butshaedidn’teafl in a policcman and have her husband srreated for infanticide. Notatall, Blie knew well enough that n jury of twélve idiots who never read the newspaners would nequit him on the ground of temporary {nsanity, She thercfore prompted lier ‘suns to consplre agatnst thelr futher, and Cronus, the youngest and bravest, scfzed the old than, mutilated him, and bound him with (chatns, “Jis sous then organized an Elcctoral Commlission, and counted in thelr youngest Lrother, Cronus, whom the Olympus "Sun cver after called the de facto and Fraudulent Sover- elgn. But Crouus’ reign as a_ruler wos not much of. a shower, The chained and mutilated Uranus prophesied that his unfitiat_son would sufler a Jike fato at tho hands of his own sonj and the pwnlu:c{ waa fullllled. In this respect 1t widely differed from the prophesics of Frof. Tice, the 8t, Lionls weather-prophet. 8o anxlous was Cronus Lo avert such a catas- tropho that ho swallowed his succeedivg five children immediately after thelr birth, ‘This was rough on tho children, and mada ‘em fecl **down In the mouth.” Thelr mother was justly shocked at such hearlless and can- nibalistic'conduct, and set her woman’s wit at ‘work to savo the next son, Jupiter. Now mark the subtle ingenuity of the wom- an, Juplter was born, and when Cronus entered his wife's chamber and eavagely demanded of her {o * Hand over that there youngster till 1 awallow him ! she gave him o stonie wrapped In swadaling clothes, which he gulphed down without detecting the fraud, . Then she drow the counterpane over her head to smother o laugh, white Cronus suffered from a severs ate tack of Indigestion for two weoks afterwards, Jupiter was then accreted In a firo(l.o, where he waa reared by nymphs, nurscd by a she-goat, and furnished Honey by bees. Years passed on, s ycars still bave a havit of dolug, und Juplter becano a powerful gud. Ile attacked and over- threw his father, Cronus, as prophesied by Ura- nus, and slso compeliea Cron. to bring forth ho children he hiad swallowed. (Incidents Jike this almost force tho conclusfon that mythol- ogy is not founded on fact, but we shouldn't bs Loo skeptical.) Thus Zeus, or Juplter, became the chief of the celestial defties, ‘The Titans found much fault with Jupfter’s Bouthorn policy, and fiually declared war agalnst him, A1l the! newspaper editors who bad been erylng alond for “Berlood,” *Uore,” and such crimson stufl, either bought substitutes, or skedaddied to Canada as soon as denfted. The rebelllon lasted ten years, and victory perched on the banuer of Juplter. The over- thrown Titans asked to have their political dis- abilities removed, but Zeus pulled down tho cornet of his left eyelld and wished to know It thoy observed anything of a verdant hue. ‘Then he ‘cast them juto Tartarus snd locked tho brazen wate. Jupliter's grandmother, Rhea, becoming dis- usted with, fustead of proud of, tho success of ier powerful grandson, sent her lomely ofl- spring, the glant Typhoeus, 8 monster with a hundred fire-breathing dragon’s heads, to over- throw the dominfon of Zeus. (The number of * family jars” that houso turned out almost nakes one’s head swim to contemptate! And no mother-In-taw In t, cither! 7Tbey ought to have been ashamed of themsclvesl) Notwithstauding his many heads the disgust- ing Typ. couldn’t get auead of Jupiter, Not any. Mr. Typheus was defeated, and thrown Into Tartarus, whence, we are told, ho still breathes out fire ond flame towards heaven, But this is extremnely doubtful. It hasan Eli- Perkine alr atiout it. Juplter controlled the clouds, the llamnlmfu, and thunder, and sent down ran,—especlally when_a clrcus visited tho town, or a Sundoy- school pickuicked In o grove.

ProfiHall bas looked for athira star with the Washington twenty-slz-inch equatorial, and I lave made o careful search with the Dearborn telescope, but nothing near enough to make any feal cun- nection probable has yet Lecn secn or suse vected.

We saw the hodies of Balgarian peasante with terrible wounds in the lead aud ueck, somo- times mutilated and disfigured; women and in- fante, children and olil inen, hoth Turkish and Bulgaefan, fallen in the ficlds by the roadside, half burled in the snow, or Iying fu the pools of water, It seems Lo have been one long battle between the peasants of both races, In which the dead wero counted equally for oach; but, while , mnany of the buwitles hore tnrks ol violence ' and showed chastly wounds, the great proportfon of the worien and ebiliren wera avidently frozen to death, for they Iay on the snow as if ssleep, with the Mush of 14 still on their faces, amd the pink skin of thelr feet and hands still unblanched, Etde by side with thiese, many carnses of uld men, full of dignity even In death, lay stark by the roadside, their white bearda clofted with Dlowl, and thelr help- less hands fallen upon thelr breasts. Frow the muddy water of the ditches tiny hands and feet stretched out, and baby faces haif covered with snuw looked out fnnocently and peacetully, with scarcely o sign of suffering on thelr features, Frozen at their mothers' bicasts they were thrown down Into the snow to lighten the hur. don of the poor crentures who were sleuggling alynic In mortal terror. I say the mystification Incrensed as we ad- vanced, because [t was lm‘mulhlo to ree why Bulgarlan aod Turk sbould ba Sruzen side by slde, or why there had been such slaughiter of hoth races.” That the peasants should Lis frozen to death was no more than could ba expected in the severe weather, tfor they were traveliog in miscrable arabas without food or shelter and with haif-starved oxen. Miles of these araba tralns we dvnucd on the road, human beings and houschold effects jumbled In promlleuusl,y. Upon the d|ulv,|nw carts bedding and utensifs were piled. Women and cehlldren up- on donkcys and cattle follawed slong- slle, an behind © for miles was long trall of wretched, weary, hall-dead at glors: old men sud women ticnt double, cf ng nlonz with the atd of crutches or sticks mothers with {nfants at thelr breasts, scarcely moving one foot before the other,—all this after long months of flight, constant exposure, con- tinuous dread of marauders and tue hated Mus- covites, Noveratd [ feel soutterly helplessasin the presencoof this supreme misery. 1 watched a mother leading along a sick chilil of perhaps 10 years, a mile or more bebind ovue of these tralua. The poor piel could with ditReulty balance hersell on her naked, hall-frozen feet. Night was coming o, and the cold wind that chilled us in our warm clothing blew about the rags from the suffering cresture, disclosing emacintod limbs and skele- ton hody. The mother wak in quite as pitiable a condition, Her face and head aloue were well wrapped up. Tle araba train wvas moviny slosw- lr out of sight ou the distant hills, A night on tho road meant death to both these unfortu- nates, and thelr strageling friends could glve them no nsslstance, because they were for the most part in o similar state of misery. The maothier dragged het little one alons, fast losing patience ns tho darkness came on, aud fluall oushed the sick child into the snow by the ruad- side, and hurrled on without looking behind her, This was one of aserfes of slmbiar scencs that were enncted beforc oureyes. . . . ‘Tho noxt morning, just as we were going “ni' the head of a long traln of returnfug Turkish refagee familics appeared in the maln street of the viilage, Then followed n scene which {s patutul fu the last degroe to describe, Tho Bulparians zathered ou the side of the atreet In knots of three or four, and waited calmly untit the miserable tealn had got welt into the village, when from every direction the Inhabitauts pounced upon tho exhausted, de- fensclees Turks, and began to carry off their houseliold effects, and even the cattlo from tho carts.
