Labela hare boen found that were once affix od to ?? jar of pure olive oil." We may yonder what testa were employed and what wouiy happen to the man whoa# oil was found to be not pure. Prob ably something unpleasant, for there was no 8upre:->e court in those day* We knew what happened in tho mid dle ages to the enterprising tradesman who adulterated his goods. In 144*4 * Nuremberg merchant waa burned alive for mating foreign material with bis saffron and the saffron Itself was qjst'u for fuel. Probably that artistic touch Impressed the matter upon his toewory. Some Augsburg bukera who used false weights and bad flour were ducked In a muddy P90I, and through a faulty knowledge of the human r* epJratory system, or sheer careless ness, they came to the surface dead. la 1482 a wine merchant was or dered to drink six quarts of hia own adulterated wine, and as ho died soon after It is evident that the adulter* tion must have been serious. It is true that ho had to finish the draft in a given number of minutes/ and a small number at that, but in thoa? days they had a pleasant way ol weighing the scales a$d loading the dice upon the side of*jliBtice.

V Bruce and the Spider, I Apparently the little flrenide story about Bruce and the spider is in the category of fables. So eminent an uu thority as air Herbert Maxwell says Jc "Robert the Bruce:" "What Is the evldenco to be found In support of It? Not In the writing! 1 of Barbour, Fordun or Wyntoun, thos?] most nearly contemporary with truest and east likely to suppress a circum- , stance so picturesque and illustrating so aptly the perRoveranco , and par, tlence ot tho national hero 'under des-l perate difficulties, "No: nothing 4a heard of this adven ture till long after Bruce and his comradeo had passod away, and then it makes Its appearance in company with such trash as tho miraculous ap-| pearanco of the arm bone of St. Fll ian on tho evo of Uannockburn, and worthy of Just about as much consid eration." So goes another of the venerated legends of childhood. lij.fi ? !*Y. vm sensi tive < i>: social v/el fare o. ? ? ? ? ?' ?'??*.<1 dally !> ? ? ? ? r. Infant it,<. ? v ? t ?
