at what had occurred lie became
measurably an insane man, to use

not the least idea of Booth's plan
to assassinate tin: President. This
plan was known to only one man,
and to him Booth revealed it only
an hour before the assassination.

A QUEER NORTH CAROLINA
RACE.
Are These Descendarts of Members
of the Lost Colony of Roanoke?
There live in the swamps of Kobe-son
county, North Carolina, a
strange race of people. Their man-ners,
customs and personal appear-ance
are unlike those of any other |
race on the American continent. )
They live within themselves, and

and Sir Richard Granville the
colony planted on Hoanoke Island
uonths before had totally
disappeared. Years afterward,
when the country had become
sparsely settled by the English, and
when the Tuscorora Indian- were
the dominant tribe, it was a tradi-tion
among them that in the in-terior
there were white men who
were members ol % smaller tribe of
Indians, and that these men pos-sessed
many of the gifts of the
English. It is generally thought
that when the English vessels sail-ed
to England for supplies for the
i.ifant colony those left on Roanoke i
Island were too weak to defend
themselves against the Croatnn
Indians, their nearest neighbors,
and that in an incursion the men
were killed and the women and
children carried away into cap
tivity.
Whatever may be the supposi
tion, the fact, nevertheless, remains,
thai in this remote county of the
old North State, there exists to-day
a strange and peculiar people.
Their associations have, in the
main, beer, with those who. previ-ous
to the war were known in the

They inter-married with these free
lea and the majority of them
an- more or less tinctured with Af-rican
blood. This admixture, how-ever,
does not change their charac-teristics.
There are among them
certain families who have held
aloof from such alliances, and these
occupy a position of superiority.

wrong, waylaid and murdered n
persons suffering from disorders of
the stomach." With this strong
recommendation in its favor chic-ory
is not much to be feared as an
adulterant of coffee. If chicory
were the only adulterant used in
American coffee there would he
small reason to complain on the
6Core of the Nation's health. But
when decoctions of bran, Hour,
molasses, and even sawdust are
served on our tables, there is reason
to believe that much injury may
arise from the fraud practiced. It
is not alono in cheap restaurants
that fraudulent coffee is found. It
may be served on the tables of rich
and poor alike.
The careful housewife once had
great faith in the coffee which she
roasted and ground for herself.
For many years this was undoubt-edly
a protection against fraud.
All of the imitation coffees at first
were sold in ground condition for
mixture with the ground coffees
with which every little grocery was
supplied. Now the fraud has gone
further. The imitation ground
coffee is still made, and it furnishes
the largest contribution to fraud.
But there is also a fraudulent
coffee berry, imitating not only the
roasted but the green coffee. One
concern makes a green colfee berry
of wheat or rye Hour and corn, and.
an imitation of roasted coffee ber-ries
of the same ingredients. An-other
imitation of the green berry
is made of ground coffee and wheat
flour mixed and moulded. Other
imitation coll'ec berries are made
of wheat Hour, colfee and chicory.
Of imitation ground coffees, some
arc made of bran and molasses,
some of pease and molasses, and
some of pea hulls and bran. The
imitations of colfee ar" so cleverly
made that it requires an expert
examination t> detect the fraud.
One fairly good test of roasted
coffees, which can be applied by
any one, is the water test. Boasted
colfee, as a rule, will float, toffee
which has been over-roasted will
sometimes sink. On the other hand,
almost all imitation collies will
sink in water. Chicory in ground
imitation colfee will discolor the
water into which it is thrown,
while ci reals in the mixture will
sink quickly to the bottom. An-other
test for the imitation coffee
berry is ocular examination. In
the cleft of the genuine berry there
i-. almost invariably a small part
of the membrane which originally
surrounded It; in the artificial ber-ry,
of course, this is lacking. The
artificial berry, too, is of very reg-formation.

We may not conclude that
the myriads of scintillating eur.s in
space—the 500,000,000 of orbs that
the great Lick telescope dit
in the milky way alone—are only
celestial lanterns hung cut to illu-minate
terrestrial night. A wider
knowledge sustains the conclusion
that other worlds long preceded ours
and shall long continue when the
fretted fabric that we call our globe
shall have passed away. We may
dismiss some of our early concep-tions
and grasp the fact that ter-restrial
creation, instead of ranking
as the event in the economy of the
universe, was only one in the eter-nal
train of minor incidents. What
else may be the meaning of that
illimitable and infinite field of space
where glow diffusing light and heat,
the countless hosts of colossal suns,
which, we are compelled to ac-knowledge,
must radiate their light
and heat and must diffuse these into
systems that must evoke them?
And when the great Chicago tele-scope
is completed, when we may
explore the added area and possess
the added intensity and the stellar
revelations come nearer to us and
when, beyond that telescopic
achievement, come others in the
coming century with still further
and keener sight, we may be able to
grasp but a little of the great sig-nificance
that may be unfolded.
The world is yet young in stellar
science. It is nol old in any kind
of science. It is only on the dawn
of the significance of knowledge
and of making its practical appli-cation.
We are before the sunrise,
only in the twilight, and just be-hind
us is the night. We are still
so near our congeneric savagery
that the barbarous imprints con-front
us everywhere. The civiliz-ing
telescope, even with ourselves,
i- almost as nothing to the interest
bestowed on some new death deal-ing
device, and our greatest honors
we bestow on those who are most
conspicuous in the destruction of
their fellows.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Wonderful Gold Finds.
Marvelous stories are told of the
incredible finds of gold recently
made in the new Australian dig-irings
at (oolgurdie. A late visitor
to the mines -ay-: "Less than
three tons had been broken when 1
saw it. and $150,000 worth of gold
was taken from that quantity. One
shot dislodged a ton and a half,
worth $40,000." The large-t piece
of quartz has been christened "Big
Ben." It weighs :M:1 pounds and
is estimated to contain $15,000 in
gold. The other pieces weigh 10s
pounds, 56 pounds and Iii pounds,

These people are legal citizens

They take no interest in either local

an investigation into the adulter-ation
of coffees some time ago, and
reported that very little pure
ground cutl'i e was put on the mar-
■ '. Ninety per cent, of the samples
of ".'round coffee" bought at re-ail
-•or,- in Washington were fouud
to be adulterated. Only three out
of sixty Bampies of whole n asted
coffee were found to be in any de
gree spurious; but the Department
chemist believes that much of the
package coffee sold in small town-.
especially in Kansas, is spurious
in whole" or in part. No preen
Coffees in open market were lound
to be adulterated. It has been
suggested that some law be enacted
requiring dealers to label imitation
coffees, imitations of coffee are
often what are known abroad as
"coffee substitutes." They are not
necessarily unwholesome. In Ura-zil,
where it would be supposed
every one could drink coffee freely
and"be sure of obtaining a pure
article, the poor use a substitute
made from the fruit of the wax-palm,
which is declared by autii ir
ities to be nutritious. Chicory and
Ii2s aro declared by some authori-ses
tobe very desirable substitutes
for coffee. There are now some
substitute coffees sold as such in
this country, but the great demand
for coffee, and the consequent
temptation to adulterate, has led
to widespread fraud on the coffee-consumers
of the United States.—
