Pure fOQd IuWS not quit# to
modern in invention iui wo may bo
liovo. Dr. ReUner haa made aiscor
eriea 1b Palestine that ??em to In
dicate some aort of supervision of the
food supplies delivered to the palaee
nearly 8000 year# ago. 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.
Civilization has changed all that
Nowadays wo shiver' with apprehend

over there would dare fillip a coin uu

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.
