Be Burden's sore for the best of men, hut few can dream what a doctor bears; For here I sit at the close of a day, whilst oth- ers have counted their pront and gain; And I've tried as much as a man can do, in my humble way, to soften pain: I've warned them all In a learned way of care- ful diet, and talked of tone, And when I have preached of regular meals, I've scarcely had time to swallow my own. I was waked last nljrht in my first long sleep, when 1 crawled to bed from my rounds, dead beat: Ah, the doctor's called!' and they turned and snored, as my trap went rattling down the street." M Upon my honor, we'ro not too hard on those who ean not afford to pay: For nothing: I cured the widow and child; for nothing I've watched till the night turned day: I've earned the pray era of the poor, thank God! and I've borne the sneers of the pampered beast; I've beard confessions and kept them safe-a- a sacred trust, like a righteous priest; To my duty I never have sworn, as these must do In this world of woo. But I've found my way to the bed of pain, through days of rain and through nights Of snow." London Punch. A SWEET SUBJECT. Bat It Is Badly DlsUgnrod by liberal Adulteration of Glucose and Earth The Cheap Candy of the Present Day, and What It la Mado Of. ' Sweets for the sweet," it is written. Sugar is generally regarded as the sweetest thing that thero is, and candy is supposedly made of sugar. Little children, when given a penny by the fond parent, generally run to the near- est candy store "to "buy something." That "something" is generally a stick, or a little mixed candy, .so-call- or a paper of lozenges. "Do you know," said a gentlemau well known in the medical profession to a reporter for the Times a few days ago, "that there are a great many more children suffering from diseases of the stomach and bowels than there ought to be?" The reporter replied that he had no personal knowledge of the fact. "Well," said the gentleman, "within the last few days I nave attended sev- eral little children whose diseases were caused by and traceable to nothing else than the eating of adulterated candy. The cheap candies sold at the little toy and confectionery stores in every part of the-cit- are largely adul-terat- ea with white eartn, or terra alba, which is also known as Fullers-eart- h. This stuff irritates the coatings and membranes of the stomachs and in- testines of the children, and produces early decay, nervous diseases and often death. It is this sort of stuff that should be prohibited from being sold." A retail confectioner !?aid: "There is no doubt about the adulteration of can- dies. When sugar costs eight and three-quart- er cents a pound you can't expect a retailer to sell good candy at thirteen cents a pound, or even at eighteen. There is mixed candy sold in some places at retail as low as twelve cents a pound, and then there is some sold a little higher. "Plain candies can be sold at retail at a profit at twenty-fiv- e cents a pound, but no sort of line, fancy candy can be made for much less than that sum per pound. I regard the dealing in the adulterated stuff as not only demoraliz- ing to the business, but decidely injuri- ous." A well-knew- n wholesale manufacturer said: "Every man who buys candy at wholesale knows what he is buying. There is no deceit practiced in the wholesale trade. It wouldn't pay the manufacturer to act otherwise than square with his customers. I doubt if there is a wholesale confectioner in the United States who would not like to see adulteration stopped. It is a bare-face- d fraud on the consumer, and the worst of it Is the injury falls upon innocent little victims who are mainly the children of the poor. Let me see: There is invested in wholesale candy-makin-g- in Chicago somewhere about $800,000, and some- thing like 83,000,000 worth of goods arc sold by the manufacturers every year. There are at least two concerns, who have upward of from $115,000 to $135.- - 000 in the business, and there are sever- al who run from $75,000 to $90,000 each. Of course, a good many pounds of good candy is made, but there is also a large amount of villainous stuff put on the market and consumed." " Can't this adulteration be stopped?" "It could by united action, but it can't be prevented so long a there is more money in making- the slush and frothy stuff than in makiug pure goods. 1 am satisfied that it is u Avrong that ought to be remedied." "What enters into the adulteration?" "Terra alba. I am bming sugar to- day for nine cents, and I am selling mixed candy at the same price. 1 ask you: What must the caudy be? Do you suppose that I want to sell that stuff? But what can 1 do? Here comes a man, and he .says: 'I want a car-loa- d of candy, and I don't want to pay more than eight and one-ha- lf cents a pound for it?p What can I say to him? I know what he wants. He; says: 'Make it as mean as you like, only mak'e it look nice.' I don't cheat" him. 'We only put in a greater percentage of terre alba, that's all: and lie knows it. If I refuse to sell him the stuff my com- petitor next door or over the way will sell him all he wants, aud I must see my trade go. While he buys a big bill of poor stuff, that class of customer always buys a moderate amount of good goods." "How great is the percentage of adulteration?" "There is a sort of graded stuff. It runs from ten to thirty per cent., but there is more than thirty per cent, adulterated candy sold. To seventy part of sugar there are thirty parts of earth, and some candy is even meaner than that. But don't make this mis- take and say that there is no pure candy made in Chicago. As much, and more pure candy is made here as in any other city in the United States. You must pav a good price for pure goods. As I said before, there is more money for the manufacturer in the adulterated goods than in the pure stuff, and that is why the-marke- t is koptstockedwithit" "Where does the adulterated stock mostly go to?" "Therejis some sold here, but not so much as some people would think, bnt a great,deal.pf it goes tqtte, Southwest, among' theJnegroes ana'NeV Mexicans, the latter seem to take kindly to earth-adulterat- ed candies, for the greater it' is adulterated the readier sale it seems to have there. Up in the Northwest, where there are lots of Yankees, Irish, Norwegians and Germans, they won't have the adulterated stuff. The Ger- mans are great for rock candy, and that has to De pure. The Norwegians take more kindly to taffy or darker candies, but these are nearly always pare. 'Now, "there are the Mormons. Do you know that they won't touch" any- thing that is'adulterated- - if they" know itP They want bang-u- p jjoods, and they are willing-J- o pay theprice. ' Cali- fornia is also good on that point" "How afcoat ike stick-cand-y, so much issrred by;cifldreB?'' "That ii adulterattd, too. It oetts five-eight- hs of a cent to make this) candy, and eight and three-quarte- r' cents for the sugar, and we sell the pure for nine and three-quart- er cents. Where is our profit in that, I ask youP But an adulterated candy is made "and sold at nine cents a pound, and on that we make one cent a pound." What does Fullers-eart- h cost?" "Oh, that's cheap. It only costs a cent a pound, and we can afford to be liberal with it in putting it in candy. Some candy-make- rs aon't care if they put "in three to ten nor cent, more of earth. I have heard it stated that some candies havo as high as fifty per cent, of adulteration in them. I never have made any as bad as that myself, but I know that the best of it is bad enough." "How about chocolates and the cream?" "They are not, adulterated. They are made from the pure sugar exclu- sively, chocolate and cream. Corn- starch and flour and eggs are used in some candies, but these are in no sense an adulteration, but are used in the finest and purest goods as a necessity in making them up." "What do good candies cost to make?" "The highest-price- d goods that are made are the sugared almonds. They sell to jobbers at from thirty-fiv- e to forty cents a pound, according to the quality of the nut-mea- ts used, and the retailer pays an average of forty cents a pound for them at wholesale." That kind of stuff has to be made fresh con- stantly, and old stock soon deteriorates. The average wholesale price of pure goods runs from eighteen to twenty-fiv- e cents a pound In large lots, and there is not a very large margin in it at that price. Good candy must be made cleanly and in a cleau place, aud good labor commands fair wages. The wholesale buyer knows full well what he is buying, and when he buys the adulterated stuff he does it with a clear intent to deceive the custo- mer who is the consumer. If the adult- erations could be thrown from the mar- ket it would leave the trade in a better condition. There would be a market for standard goods, and there would be a standard price for them. I don't think that there is any body in the West who wants to continue the making of adulterated goods. When Chicago com menced to go extensively into the candy-makin-g business it sold pure goods at a fair price. Then St. Louis came in to compete, and she commenced the use .of adulterations. The big Eastern makers saw their trade slipping away from them, and they put on the market their decoctions, which were far mean- er than any we are making here to-da- y. We had to meet that devilish sort of trade composition or close up shop. A man don't like to sacrifice $100,000 in cash which he puts in a business, and we met those .Eastern fellows and laid them out, and held and increased "our trade. We drove Philadelphia prac- tically out of tliis market, and left little or nothing for New York." "In regard to candy-colorin- g, which color is regarded as the most injuri- ous?'" "Since you ask me that, I will an- swer the question in this way: The re- tailer who makes, or professes to make, his own candy gcuerally only makes a portion. He "must buy some kinds, and there will be in some places more or less stale stock on hand. But that is neither here nor there. The retailer is the man for colors. He depends large- ly upon the pislache nut for green, but some use almost an actual poison. I always advise against using or selling green colored candy, and we don't make it unless we have to upon special orders. The; red color is made from the nasty little cochineal bugs, and it is about the onlv safe color. Blue, yellow and other colors I regard as bad. of necessity, and I believe in usiDg simply plain candy. My children use the can dy which we make, but it is good, pure and wholeome. and pure candy will never dcoav a child's teeth or hurt its dijrcst'on, I can tell vou that. It is wholesome." " How alxnit gum and licorice drop??" "They are all right. They are main- ly composed of glucose, gum arabic and sugar." Then you use glucose?" " We do use it largely." "Isn't that an adulteration?" "No. Glucose is used in perfectly straight goods. To be sure it is not as sweet as cane sugar, and it only costs four cents a pound, but it is used be- cause it is wholesome, and it makes the candies better. It is used largely in the lady's favorite the caramel. Glu- cose is "put into them because they keep much better after, and they don't grain off. We use glucose in all nice goods whore we formerly used cream of tartar. It is so much better, and it contains a sufficiency of acid to cut the grain of the cane sugar. No caramel would keep twenty-fou- r hours without glucose in it. I have now told you all that I know about the adulteration of candies and the secrets of the trade. T want to say this to you: If there could be some way devised by which all this adulteration can be prevented, I will join the movement gladly. All it would require would be for candy-make- rs to join hands and do the square thing. It would help us all, and leave the tradp, in a short time, in a better condition, and there would be as much, if not more, candy consumed." Chicago Times. A Droll Trial of Memory. Memory was a favorite subject with Macklin. He asserted that, by his s'S-te- m, he could learn anything by rote at once hearing it. This was enough for Foote, who, at the close of the lecture (Macklin was lecturing at the Great Pi- azza Room, now the Tavistock Hotel), handed up the following sentences to Macklin, desiring that he would be good enough to read them, and after- wards to repeat them from memory. Here is the wondrous nonsense: "So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage leaf to make an apple pic, and, at the same time, a great she bear coming up the street pops his head into the shop. What! no soap?' So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber; and there were present the Pic-ninni- es and the Joblillies, and the Gar-yuli- es and the Grand Panjandrum him- self, with the little round button at top; and they all fell to playing the game of catch as catch can, until the gunpowder ran out of the heels of their boots." The laugh turned strong against old Macklin; and, thejaugh has been echoed from the Great Piazza Room by thou- sands during the""' century that has elapsed since Foote's drollery put out Mt&klin's monstrous memory with thrisfc straws of ridicule. .Y. I". Graphic Sulphuric acid diluted with water is said to be an excellent disinfectant for use. in ponltry-yard- s tfbioh have been visited with cholera. -- tt Y. Timss. fSreealaai, Bnt the truth is that Greenland, though scarcely an eligible place of resi- dence, has long been known to be not merely a great field for hunting and fuhing, but also a locality by no means unsuited to the miner, were it not for its inhospitable climate and the extreme difficulty of approaching the east coast, or at least the most southerly part of it. Jutting, as the country does, far out in- to the Atlantic (Cape Farewell is in the same latitude as the center of the Shet- land group), and curving, as it does at the same time toward tho east, it catch- es the ice-dri- ft from the polar seas, and retains it all along its southeastern coast. It therefore presents the specta-cle.singul- ar in theNorthern hemisphere, of ice-bou- nd shores to the south and free water northward. In addition to these drawbacks it ma be doubted whether even the pressure of population in civil- ized countries will soon induce many Europeans to colonize Greenland. And without European colonization the de- velopment of such mineral wealth as it may possess is impossible. Either the climate of these regions, as is certainly the case with Iceland, has positively grown worse during historic memory, or the human frame has become less en- during, or-- which is more probable the habits of advancing civilization have made the human will less tolerant ex- cept for purposes of sport or scientific investigation, of the sordid discom- forts of an Arctic winter. We sav Arctic for convenience sake, though in. fact Greenland stretches for hundreds of miles south of the Arctic circle. We should be the last to deny the value of Arctic exploration, both as what may be called national gym- nastics and as enlarging the sphere of knowledge; but it may be doubted whether any practical result of market- able value is likely to come of it now. Baron Nordenskjold's own most famous achievement that voyage of the Vega which has really opened up a prospect of trade on the north Asiatic coast may seem to.be an exception to this. But the value of this discovery depends on the existence of three great river highways from the Siberian Sea, and if the often talked-o- f trans-Siberi- an Rail- way, which would tap and connect these highways at their head instead of at their foot, be "ever carried out, it may be questioned whether there would then be any temptation to ships to follow in the tracks of tho Vega. The Macken- zie in America and the Petchora in Europe by no means supply the place of the three Siberian rivers, and such a windfall as the fossil ivory of New Si- beria, though it might recur, can not be counted upon. Greenland, indeed, has the advantage over these distant and still more inhospitable coasts that when its shores are once cleared the distance to the great markets of the Atlantic seaboaruis trifling and the way perfectly open. It has some trade as it is, and it may probably have more, though both geographical and political considerations are rather against any great development. London Daily Newt. Decay of the Dude Artemus Ward, returning to the "buzzum ov his family, at Baldwins-vill- e. Injeanny," found his daughter seated atthe piano singing " Why Do the Summer Roses Fade?" and he hazarded the opinion "bekoz it's thare little biz let 'em fade." Whether this is the correct answer to the conundrum or not, it is certain that all fresh, tender young things must wilt away and vanish. So we are now notified that the Dude must go. Just as we have really learned to know him, to become familiar with his simple little ways and his harmless idiocies of manner and costume, we are informed that fashion has decreed his extinction. He has had. his little day of bud and blossom, and is now fading into the sere and yellow leaf. Already the major part of the true Dudes have abandoned most of the dis- tinctive garb and uniform of the order. The rolled-bri- m hat, the white gaiters, the tooth-pic- k shoes, and the abbrevi- ated "top-coat,- " are no longer signs whereby we may know with any de- gree of" certainty the youth of between twenty and twenty-seve- n, whose in- heritance of money and brains is clear- ly out of proportion. The impecunious dry-goo- ds clerk, and even the low-salarie- d elevator-bo- y has "caught on" to these peculiarities of personal attire, and now appear arrayed as erstwhile were the listless and languid young drones, whose daily bread and fine raiment were provided for them by their fathers' frugality and thrift. "This is sufficient. The Dude's com- placency was never ruffled in the least by the merciless flood of ridicule ponred out upon him, but he fades like morn- ing frost at the first sun, when he finds his little peculiarities successfully imi- tated by " cads" who commit the crime of earning their own living. Not that we are rid of the young man himself. We shall always have him, as long as rich men go on doing as they have done since the beginning of time that is, expending all their brains in getting wealth, ami having none left to communicate to their offspring. The only difference will be that next year they will not be called Dudes, but be designated by some other bit of slang, just as they will be distinguished by some other extravagances of dress and deportment.

It must be too small by at least $18,000 in the first item, for one thing, for salaries paid to base-ba- ll players must average $1,500. One gets $1,500 or $2,500. Some of them get $3,000 a season. Some of the best editorial writers in New York do not command more. The time has been when even a higher figure would have expressed that average, bnt the law of demand and supply appears to be gradually equalizing things, even in base-bal- l. Our correspondent proba- bly underestimates the aggregate expen- diture for the Leagae; the truth, very likely, would be $200,000 instead of 155,700. But even that 200,000 represents only one association. There are others. In the association of which the Phila- delphia Athletic are "members, that club is said to have expended or, which is for our purpose practically the same thing, its backers have expended for it the sum of $31,000 this year, and yet it is said the club has cleared a profit of $70,000. This surprising statement be- comes possible in the light of such crowds as that famous club has drawn in its encounters with other noted clubs in some of the cities, 18,000 being in at- tendance, for example, to see one game at St. Louis, representing $9,000 for that one game, while gatherings of 10,-0- 00 have been noted in that and other cities. Probably $250,000 would be an underestimate of the total expenditures by the association and individuals that back np the various professional nines in the three associations ot loou. But that large expenditure represents only one side of the question. On the other side are the unknown suras that have been paid out by the base-ba-ll lov- ing public for the privilege of witnessing the 370 games. That base-ba- ll "pays" financially is indicated by the continua- tion of the clubs and the widespread public interest in the subject. If a quarter of a million has been paid out in keeping up the.clubs of 1883, a con- siderable larger sum. has been paid by the spectators of the games. Six hun- dred thousand dollars would perhaps not be an overestimate of the total ex- penditures for base-ba- ll this year. Be- sides the 392 League games, at fifty cents admission, the clubs wind up the season with a series of half-pric- e "exhi- bition" games. The total expenditure no doubt exceeds $600,000. Hartford Conn.') Times. Measuring the Age of Trees. The counting of the rings added by exogenous trees every year to their cir- cumferences can only, without risk of great error, be. applied to trees cut down in their prime, and hence is useless for the older trees which are hollow and decayed. Trees, moreover, often de- velop themselves so unequally from their center that, as in the ca- - of a specimen in the museum at Kow, thero may be about two hundred and fifty rings on one side to fifty on the other. Perhaps the largest number of rings that has ever been counted was in the case of an oak felled in 1812. where they amounted to seven hundred and ten; but De Candolle, who mentions this, adds that three hundred years were added to this number as probably covering the remaining rings which it was no longer possible to count. This instance may be taken to illustrate how unsatisfactory this mode of reckoning really is for all but trees of comparative- ly youthful age. The external girth measurement is tor these re isons tho best we can have, being especially applicable where the date of a tree's introduction into a coun- try or of its planting is definitely fixed, since it enables us to argue from the individual specimen or from a number of specimens, not with certainty, but within certain limits of variability, to the rate of growth of that tree as a species. In these measurements of trees of a century or more in age, such as are given abundantly in Loudon's "Arboretum," lies our best guide, though even thenltlie growth in subse- quent ages must remain matter of con- jecture. The difficulty is to reduce this conjectural quantity to the limits .f probability; for, given the ascertained growth of the lirst century, how shall we estimate the diminished growth of later centuries? The best way would seem to be, to take the ascertained growth of the first century, and then to make, say, the third of it the average growth of every century. Thus, if we were to take twelve feet as the ascer- tained growth of an oak in its first century, four feet would he its constant average rate, and we might conjecture that an oak of forty feet was about a thousand years old. But clearly it might be much less; for the reason for taking the third is not so inuuh that; it is a more prohablu average than the half, as that it is obviously less likely to err on the side of excess of rapidity. J. A. Farrar, in Popular Science Monthly. Experiments with Bats. " If you ever waut to study a hibernat- ing animal, by all means take a bat," said the naturalist, as they are most easily handled. I have made some ex- - with veryJnteTCSting results, ast winter I placed one in a vacuum receiver and kept it there for half an hour, the creature not waking up and showing that suspension of the faculties was almost absolute, and the mo-- t care- ful use of the stethoscope barely showed life, even that sometimes failing. The same bat. suspended in a vacuum glass, was afterwards surrounded by gas that if the animal was in its normal condition would be immediately fatal, but so sound was this remarkable sleep that it had no effect upon it; even pure air that had surrounded it for hours when care- fully examined and analyzed did not show that it had even been breathed by the animal. An instrument has been invented, however, that shows the respi- ration, each delicate movement being marked by an index," " About how much oxygen does a bat consume in this state?" "Individuals differ greatly," was the reply. "One which I examined con- sumed ninety-si- x cubic inches in twenty-f- our hours, while others use much less. "The numbers of bats that hibernate together," continued the speaker, "13 marvelous, and not many miles from Philadelphia, a most remarkable in- stance was shown not a longtime since. A gentleman connected with the Diplo- matic Corps at Washington purchased a house that had not been occupied for many years. On. the first night in the house," upon lighting the lamp, thej-wer- e deluged with a swarm of bats, that seemed to dart from every crack and crevice of the room, to the terror of the entire household. The assem- blage increased as the night wore on, ultimately driving the inmates out of doors. The next day a determined at- tack was commenced upon them. The roof of an L of. the building was broken in, disclosing a scene almost incredible. The remains and guano of bats were upon the floor of the garret to a epth of four feet, and out of the orifice rushed a throng of bats composed of thousands. In fact, in his. report to the Smithsonian, the gentleman expressed the opinion that there were at least half a million. Philadelphia Times. The late Dr. William Miller, of New York, deeded his real estate to his second wife and bequeathed to her all bis personal property, the entire amount being $30,000.

THE DOCTOR.

Be Burden's sore for the best of men, hutfew can dream what a doctor bears;

For here I sit at the close of a day, whilst oth-ers have counted their pront and gain;

And I've tried as much as a man can do, in myhumble way, to soften pain:

I've warned them all In a learned way of care-ful diet, and talked of tone,

And when I have preached of regular meals,I've scarcely had time to swallow myown.

I was waked last nljrht in my first long sleep,when 1 crawled to bed from my rounds,dead beat:

Ah, the doctor's called!' and they turnedand snored, as my trap went rattlingdown the street."

M Upon my honor, we'ro not too hard on thosewho ean not afford to pay:

For nothing: I cured the widow and child; fornothing I've watched till the night turnedday:

I've earned the pray era of the poor, thankGod! and I've borne the sneers of thepampered beast;

I've beard confessions and kept them safe-a-

a sacred trust, like a righteous priest;To my duty I never have sworn, as these must

do In this world of woo.But I've found my way to the bed of pain,

through days of rain and through nightsOf snow."

A SWEET SUBJECT.

Bat It Is Badly DlsUgnrod by liberalAdulteration of Glucose and EarthThe Cheap Candy of the Present Day,and What It la Mado Of.

' Sweets for the sweet," it is written.Sugar is generally regarded as thesweetest thing that thero is, and candyis supposedly made of sugar. Littlechildren, when given a penny by thefond parent, generally run to the near-est candy store "to "buy something."That "something" is generally a stick,or a little mixed candy, .so-call- or apaper of lozenges. "Do you know,"said a gentlemau well known in themedical profession to a reporter for theTimes a few days ago, "that there area great many more children sufferingfrom diseases of the stomach andbowels than there ought to be?"

The reporter replied that he had nopersonal knowledge of the fact."Well," said the gentleman, "withinthe last few days I nave attended sev-eral little children whose diseases werecaused by and traceable to nothingelse than the eating of adulteratedcandy. The cheap candies sold at thelittle toy and confectionery stores inevery part of the-cit- are largely adul-terat- ea

with white eartn, or terra alba,which is also known as Fullers-eart- h.

This stuff irritates the coatings andmembranes of the stomachs and in-

testines of the children, and producesearly decay, nervous diseases and oftendeath. It is this sort of stuff thatshould be prohibited from being sold."

A retail confectioner !?aid: "There isno doubt about the adulteration of can-dies. When sugar costs eight and three-quart- er

cents a pound you can't expecta retailer to sell good candy at thirteencents a pound, or even at eighteen.There is mixed candy sold in someplaces at retail as low as twelve cents apound, and then there is some sold alittle higher.

"Plain candies can be sold at retailat a profit at twenty-fiv-e cents a pound,but no sort of line, fancy candy can bemade for much less than that sum perpound. I regard the dealing in theadulterated stuff as not only demoraliz-ing to the business, but decidely injuri-ous."

A well-knew- n wholesale manufacturersaid: "Every man who buys candy atwholesale knows what he is buying.There is no deceit practiced in thewholesale trade. It wouldn't pay themanufacturer to act otherwise thansquare with his customers. I doubt ifthere is a wholesale confectioner in theUnited States who would not like to seeadulteration stopped. It is a bare-face-d

fraud on the consumer, and the worst ofit Is the injury falls upon innocent littlevictims who are mainly the children ofthe poor. Let me see: There is investedin wholesale candy-makin-g- in Chicagosomewhere about $800,000, and some-thing like 83,000,000 worth of goods arcsold by the manufacturers every year.There are at least two concerns, whohave upward of from $115,000 to $135.- -000 in the business, and there are sever-al who run from $75,000 to $90,000each. Of course, a good many poundsof good candy is made, but there is alsoa large amount of villainous stuff put onthe market and consumed."

" Can't this adulteration be stopped?""It could by united action, but it

can't be prevented so long a there ismore money in making- the slush andfrothy stuff than in makiug pure goods.1 am satisfied that it is u Avrong thatought to be remedied."

"What enters into the adulteration?""Terra alba. I am bming sugar to-

day for nine cents, and I am sellingmixed candy at the same price. 1 askyou: What must the caudy be? Doyou suppose that I want to sell thatstuff? But what can 1 do? Here comesa man, and he .says: 'I want a car-loa- d

of candy, and I don't want to pay morethan eight and one-ha- lf cents a poundfor it?p What can I say to him? Iknow what he wants. He; says: 'Makeit as mean as you like, only mak'e itlook nice.' I don't cheat" him. 'Weonly put in a greater percentage ofterre alba, that's all: and lie knows it.If I refuse to sell him the stuff my com-petitor next door or over the way willsell him all he wants, aud I must seemy trade go. While he buys a big billof poor stuff, that class of customeralways buys a moderate amount ofgood goods."

"How great is the percentage ofadulteration?"

"There is a sort of graded stuff. Itruns from ten to thirty per cent., butthere is more than thirty per cent,adulterated candy sold. To seventypart of sugar there are thirty parts ofearth, and some candy is even meanerthan that. But don't make this mis-take and say that there is no purecandy made in Chicago. As much, andmore pure candy is made here as in anyother city in the United States. Youmust pav a good price for pure goods.As I said before, there is more moneyfor the manufacturer in the adulteratedgoods than in the pure stuff, and that iswhy the-marke- t is koptstockedwithit"

"Where does the adulterated stockmostly go to?"

"Therejis some sold here, but not somuch as some people would think, bnt agreat,deal.pf itgoes tqtte,Southwest,among' theJnegroes ana'NeV Mexicans,the latter seem to take kindly to earth-adulterat- ed

candies, for the greater it' isadulterated the readier sale it seems tohave there. Up in the Northwest,where there are lots of Yankees, Irish,Norwegians and Germans, they won'thave the adulterated stuff. The Ger-mans are great for rock candy, andthat has to De pure. The Norwegianstake more kindly to taffy or darkercandies, but these are nearly alwayspare. 'Now, "there are the Mormons.Do you know that they won't touch" any-thing that is'adulterated- - if they" knowitP They want bang-u- p jjoods, andthey are willing-J- o pay theprice. ' Cali-fornia is also good on that point"

"How afcoat ike stick-cand-y, so muchissrred by;cifldreB?''

"That ii adulterattd, too. It oetts

five-eight- hs of a cent to make this)candy, and eight and three-quarte- r'

cents for the sugar, and we sell thepure for nine and three-quart- er cents.Where is our profit in that, I ask youPBut an adulterated candy is made "andsold at nine cents a pound, and on thatwe make one cent a pound."

What does Fullers-eart- h cost?""Oh, that's cheap. It only costs a

cent a pound, and we can afford to beliberal with it in putting it in candy.Some candy-make- rs aon't care ifthey put "in three to ten norcent, more of earth. I have heard itstated that some candies havo as highas fifty per cent, of adulteration in them.I never have made any as bad as thatmyself, but I know that the best of it isbad enough."

"How about chocolates and thecream?"

"They are not, adulterated. Theyare made from the pure sugar exclu-sively, chocolate and cream. Corn-starch and flour and eggs are used insome candies, but these are in no sensean adulteration, but are used in thefinest and purest goods as a necessity inmaking them up."

"What do good candies cost tomake?"

"The highest-price- d goods that aremade are the sugared almonds. Theysell to jobbers at from thirty-fiv- e toforty cents a pound, according to thequality of the nut-mea- ts used, and theretailer pays an average of forty centsa pound for them at wholesale." Thatkind of stuff has to be made fresh con-

stantly, and old stock soon deteriorates.The average wholesale price of puregoods runs from eighteen totwenty-fiv-e cents a pound In largelots, and there is not a verylarge margin in it at that price. Goodcandy must be made cleanly and in acleau place, aud good labor commandsfair wages. The wholesale buyer knowsfull well what he is buying, and whenhe buys the adulterated stuff he does itwith a clear intent to deceive the custo-mer who is the consumer. If the adult-erations could be thrown from the mar-ket it would leave the trade in a bettercondition. There would be a marketfor standard goods, and there would bea standard price for them. I don'tthink that there is any body in the Westwho wants to continue the making ofadulterated goods. When Chicago commenced to go extensively into the candy-makin-g

business it sold pure goods at afair price. Then St. Louis came in tocompete, and she commenced the use.of adulterations. The big Easternmakers saw their trade slipping awayfrom them, and they put on the markettheir decoctions, which were far mean-er than any we are making here to-da- y.

We had to meet that devilish sort oftrade composition or close up shop. Aman don't like to sacrifice $100,000 incash which he puts in a business, andwe met those .Eastern fellows andlaid them out, and held and increased"our trade. We drove Philadelphia prac-tically out of tliis market, and left littleor nothing for New York."

"In regard to candy-colorin- g, whichcolor is regarded as the most injuri-ous?'"

"Since you ask me that, I will an-

swer the question in this way: The re-

tailer who makes, or professes to make,his own candy gcuerally only makes aportion. He "must buy some kinds, andthere will be in some places more orless stale stock on hand. But that isneither here nor there. The retailer isthe man for colors. He depends large-ly upon the pislache nut for green, butsome use almost an actual poison. Ialways advise against using or sellinggreen colored candy, and we don'tmake it unless we have to upon specialorders. The; red color is made fromthe nasty little cochineal bugs, and it isabout the onlv safe color. Blue, yellowand other colors I regard as bad. ofnecessity, and I believe in usiDg simplyplain candy. My children use the candy which we make, but it is good, pureand wholeome. and pure candy willnever dcoav a child's teeth or hurt itsdijrcst'on, I can tell vou that. It iswholesome."

" How alxnit gum and licoricedrop??"

"They are all right. They are main-ly composed of glucose, gum arabic andsugar."

Then you use glucose?"" We do use it largely.""Isn't that an adulteration?""No. Glucose is used in perfectly

straight goods. To be sure it is not assweet as cane sugar, and it only costsfour cents a pound, but it is used be-

cause it is wholesome, and it makes thecandies better. It is used largely inthe lady's favorite the caramel. Glu-cose is "put into them because they keepmuch better after, and they don't grainoff. We use glucose in all nice goodswhore we formerly used cream oftartar. It is so much better, and itcontains a sufficiency of acid to cut thegrain of the cane sugar. No caramelwould keep twenty-fou- r hours withoutglucose in it. I have now told you allthat I know about the adulteration ofcandies and the secrets of the trade. T

want to say this to you: If there couldbe some way devised by which all thisadulteration can be prevented, I willjoin the movement gladly. All it wouldrequire would be for candy-make- rs tojoin hands and do the square thing. Itwould help us all, and leave the tradp,in a short time, in a better condition,and there would be as much, if notmore, candy consumed." ChicagoTimes.

A Droll Trial of Memory.

Memory was a favorite subject withMacklin. He asserted that, by his s'S-te- m,

he could learn anything by rote atonce hearing it. This was enough forFoote, who, at the close of the lecture(Macklin was lecturing at the Great Pi-

azza Room, now the Tavistock Hotel),handed up the following sentences toMacklin, desiring that he would begood enough to read them, and after-wards to repeat them from memory.Here is the wondrous nonsense:

"So she went into the garden to cuta cabbage leaf to make an apple pic,and, at the same time, a great she bearcoming up the street pops his head intothe shop. What! no soap?' So he died,and she very imprudently married thebarber; and there were present the Pic-ninni- es

and the Joblillies, and the Gar-yuli- es

and the Grand Panjandrum him-self, with the little round button at top;and they all fell to playing the game ofcatch as catch can, until the gunpowderran out of the heels of their boots."

The laugh turned strong against oldMacklin; and, thejaugh has been echoedfrom the Great Piazza Room by thou-sands during the""' century that haselapsed since Foote's drollery put outMt&klin's monstrous memory withthrisfc straws of ridicule. .Y. I". Graphic

fSreealaai,

Bnt the truth is that Greenland,though scarcely an eligible place of resi-dence, has long been known to be notmerely a great field for hunting andfuhing, but also a locality by no meansunsuited to the miner, were it not forits inhospitable climate and the extremedifficulty of approaching the east coast,or at least the most southerly part of it.Jutting, as the country does, far out in-

to the Atlantic (Cape Farewell is in thesame latitude as the center of the Shet-land group), and curving, as it does atthe same time toward tho east, it catch-es the ice-dri- ft from the polar seas, andretains it all along its southeasterncoast. It therefore presents the specta-cle.singul- ar

in theNorthern hemisphere,of ice-bou- nd shores to the south and freewater northward. In addition to thesedrawbacks it ma be doubted whethereven the pressure of population in civil-ized countries will soon induce manyEuropeans to colonize Greenland. Andwithout European colonization the de-

velopment of such mineral wealth as itmay possess is impossible. Either theclimate of these regions, as is certainlythe case with Iceland, has positivelygrown worse during historic memory,or the human frame has become less en-

during, or-- which is more probablethe habits of advancing civilization havemade the human will less tolerant ex-

cept for purposes of sport or scientificinvestigation, of the sordid discom-forts of an Arctic winter. We savArctic for convenience sake, thoughin. fact Greenland stretches forhundreds of miles south of the Arcticcircle. We should be the last to denythe value of Arctic exploration, bothas what may be called national gym-nastics and as enlarging the sphere ofknowledge; but it may be doubtedwhether any practical result of market-able value is likely to come of it now.Baron Nordenskjold's own most famousachievement that voyage of the Vegawhich has really opened up a prospectof trade on the north Asiatic coastmay seem to.be an exception to this.But the value of this discovery dependson the existence of three great riverhighways from the Siberian Sea, and ifthe often talked-o- f trans-Siberi- an Rail-way, which would tap and connectthese highways at their head instead ofat their foot, be "ever carried out, it maybe questioned whether there would thenbe any temptation to ships to follow inthe tracks of tho Vega. The Macken-zie in America and the Petchora inEurope by no means supply the placeof the three Siberian rivers, and such awindfall as the fossil ivory of New Si-

beria, though it might recur, can notbe counted upon. Greenland, indeed,has the advantage over these distantand still more inhospitable coasts thatwhen its shores are once cleared thedistance to the great markets of theAtlantic seaboaruis trifling and the wayperfectly open. It has some trade as itis, and it may probably have more,though both geographical and politicalconsiderations are rather against anygreat development. London DailyNewt.

Decay of the Dude

Artemus Ward, returning to the"buzzum ov his family, at Baldwins-vill- e.

Injeanny," found his daughterseated atthe piano singing " Why Dothe Summer Roses Fade?" and hehazarded the opinion "bekoz it'sthare little biz let 'em fade."

Whether this is the correct answerto the conundrum or not, it is certainthat all fresh, tender young things mustwilt away and vanish.

So we are now notified that the Dudemust go.

Just as we have really learned toknow him, to become familiar with hissimple little ways and his harmlessidiocies of manner and costume, weare informed that fashion has decreedhis extinction. He has had. his littleday of bud and blossom, and is nowfading into the sere and yellow leaf.

Already the major part of the trueDudes have abandoned most of the dis-

tinctive garb and uniform of the order.The rolled-bri- m hat, the white gaiters,the tooth-pic-k shoes, and the abbrevi-ated "top-coat,- " are no longer signswhereby we may know with any de-

gree of" certainty the youth of betweentwenty and twenty-seve- n, whose in-

heritance of money and brains is clear-ly out of proportion.

The impecunious dry-goo- ds clerk, andeven the low-salarie- d elevator-bo- y has"caught on" to these peculiarities ofpersonal attire, and now appear arrayedas erstwhile were the listless and languidyoung drones, whose daily bread andfine raiment were provided for themby their fathers' frugality and thrift."This is sufficient. The Dude's com-

placency was never ruffled in the leastby the merciless flood of ridicule ponredout upon him, but he fades like morn-ing frost at the first sun, when he findshis little peculiarities successfully imi-

tated by " cads" who commit the crimeof earning their own living.

Not that we are rid of the young manhimself. We shall always have him, aslong as rich men go on doing as theyhave done since the beginning of timethat is, expending all their brains ingetting wealth, ami having none left tocommunicate to their offspring. Theonly difference will be that next yearthey will not be called Dudes, but bedesignated by some other bit of slang,just as they will be distinguished bysome other extravagances of dress anddeportment.

Money for Base-Bal- l.

A correspondent has made the following rough estimate of the expenses at-

tending the eight professional ball clubsin the country.Salaries of tirhty men (average) In-

cluding substitutes 90.00i)

"tr iuiC((,v ifAAjHotel expense while traveling 12,000Salary iu:na!eis 10.00JSalary umpires 5,000Traveling expenses of umpires and

managers 3.0C0Rental of grounds ,00oPrinting 7,000Scorers' pay 1.5l)Hats, uniform ami ball 2.500Hoard thilc clubs are home playing... 5.IJU0Expense of "busses, etc TWIncidentals IIUJO

This calculation, which has to dowith only one association, or eightclubs (called the League), is evidentlytoo small. It must be too small by atleast $18,000 in the first item, for onething, for salaries paid to base-ba- ll

players must average $1,500. One gets$1,500 or $2,500. Someof them get $3,000 a season. Some ofthe best editorial writers in New Yorkdo not command more. The time hasbeen when even a higher figure wouldhave expressed that average, bnt thelaw of demand and supply appears to begradually equalizing things, even inbase-bal- l. Our correspondent proba-bly underestimates the aggregate expen-diture for the Leagae; the truth, verylikely, would be $200,000 instead of

155,700.But even that 200,000 represents

only one association. There are others.In the association of which the Phila-delphia Athletic are "members, that clubis said to have expended or, which isfor our purpose practically the samething, its backers have expended for itthe sum of $31,000 this year, and yet itis said the club has cleared a profit of$70,000. This surprising statement be-

comes possible in the light of suchcrowds as that famous club has drawnin its encounters with other noted clubsin some of the cities, 18,000 being in at-

tendance, for example, to see one gameat St. Louis, representing $9,000 forthat one game, while gatherings of 10,-0- 00

have been noted in that and othercities. Probably $250,000 would be anunderestimate of the total expendituresby the association and individuals thatback np the various professional ninesin the three associations ot loou.

But that large expenditure representsonly one side of the question. On theother side are the unknown suras thathave been paid out by the base-ba-ll lov-ing public for the privilege of witnessingthe 370 games. That base-ba- ll "pays"financially is indicated by the continua-tion of the clubs and the widespreadpublic interest in the subject. If aquarter of a million has been paid outin keeping up the.clubs of 1883, a con-siderable larger sum. has been paid bythe spectators of the games. Six hun-dred thousand dollars would perhapsnot be an overestimate of the total ex-

penditures for base-ba- ll this year. Be-

sides the 392 League games, at fiftycents admission, the clubs wind up theseason with a series of half-pric- e "exhi-bition" games. The total expenditureno doubt exceeds $600,000. Hartford

Measuring the Age of Trees.

The counting of the rings added byexogenous trees every year to their cir-cumferences can only, without risk ofgreat error, be. applied to trees cut downin their prime, and hence is uselessfor the older trees which are hollow anddecayed. Trees, moreover, often de-

velop themselves so unequally fromtheir center that, as in the ca- - of aspecimen in the museum at Kow, theromay be about two hundred and fiftyrings on one side to fifty on the other.Perhaps the largest number of ringsthat has ever been counted was in thecase of an oak felled in 1812. wherethey amounted to seven hundred andten; but De Candolle, who mentionsthis, adds that three hundred yearswere added to this number as probablycovering the remaining rings which itwas no longer possible to count. Thisinstance may be taken to illustrate howunsatisfactory this mode of reckoningreally is for all but trees of comparative-ly youthful age.

The external girth measurement is torthese re isons tho best we can have,being especially applicable where thedate of a tree's introduction into a coun-try or of its planting is definitely fixed,since it enables us to argue from theindividual specimen or from a numberof specimens, not with certainty, butwithin certain limits of variability, tothe rate of growth of that tree as aspecies. In these measurements oftrees of a century or more in age, suchas are given abundantly in Loudon's"Arboretum," lies our best guide,though even thenltlie growth in subse-quent ages must remain matter of con-jecture. The difficulty is to reduce thisconjectural quantity to the limits .fprobability; for, given the ascertainedgrowth of the lirst century, how shallwe estimate the diminished growth oflater centuries? The best way wouldseem to be, to take the ascertainedgrowth of the first century, and then tomake, say, the third of it the averagegrowth of every century. Thus, if wewere to take twelve feet as the ascer-tained growth of an oak in its firstcentury, four feet would he its constantaverage rate, and we might conjecturethat an oak of forty feet was about athousand years old. But clearly itmight be much less; for the reason fortaking the third is not so inuuh that; itis a more prohablu average than thehalf, as that it is obviously less likely toerr on the side of excess of rapidity.J. A. Farrar, in Popular ScienceMonthly.

Experiments with Bats.

" If you ever waut to study a hibernat-ing animal, by all means take a bat,"said the naturalist, as they are mosteasily handled. I have made some ex--

with veryJnteTCSting results,ast winter I placed one in a vacuum

receiver and kept it there for half anhour, the creature not waking up andshowing that suspension of the facultieswas almost absolute, and the mo-- t care-ful use of the stethoscope barely showedlife, even that sometimes failing. Thesame bat. suspended in a vacuum glass,was afterwards surrounded by gas thatif the animal was in its normal conditionwould be immediately fatal, but sosound was this remarkable sleep that ithad no effect upon it; even pure air thathad surrounded it for hours when care-fully examined and analyzed did notshow that it had even been breathed bythe animal. An instrument has beeninvented, however, that shows the respi-ration, each delicate movement beingmarked by an index,"

" About how much oxygen does a batconsume in this state?"

"Individuals differ greatly," was thereply. "One which I examined con-sumed ninety-si- x cubic inches in twenty-f-

our hours, while others use muchless.

"The numbers of bats that hibernatetogether," continued the speaker, "13marvelous, and not many miles fromPhiladelphia, a most remarkable in-

stance was shown not a longtime since.A gentleman connected with the Diplo-matic Corps at Washington purchased ahouse that had not been occupied formany years. On. the first night in thehouse," upon lighting the lamp, thej-wer-e

deluged with a swarm of bats,that seemed to dart from every crackand crevice of the room, to the terrorof the entire household. The assem-blage increased as the night wore on,ultimately driving the inmates out ofdoors. The next day a determined at-

tack was commenced upon them. Theroof of an L of. the building was brokenin, disclosing a scene almost incredible.The remains and guano of bats were

upon the floor of the garret to aepth of four feet, and out of the orifice

rushed a throng of bats composed ofthousands. In fact, in his. report to theSmithsonian, the gentleman expressedthe opinion that there were at least halfa million. Philadelphia Times.
