the simple result of the rusting away of the sbuckles of the past. An incipient and short-sighted materialism, whether merely practical or the outcome of theoretical con- sidorations, is almost sure to faster the military spirit, and herein lies the rock of China's tumbling. As we pointed out last week, the moment military glory and military prowess become ends in themselves the fate of China, like that of the first Napoleon, is sealed, but if military glory and prowess are the outcome and not the end of national reform there could be no surer proof of China's thorough regenera- tion and of her right to stand side by side with the World Powers.—Shangħat Mercury. -

HOW TO 78LL PURE OLIVE OIL.

The adulteration of dil is a secret to no one, and that this practice is in vogus in pain is proven by the fact that the provincial depart. ment of Seville has addressed a communication to the minister of finance proposing the means of avoiding such practice, so as not to prejudice iqe good name enjoyed everywhere by the oil. The oleaginous plants used by merchants to obtajn greater gains are very zumerous They mix the poppy, colewort or wild cabbage, benne seed, peanut and cottonseed, oils with the light, clear and transparent off of the olive. The oil *mostly used in Spain for such falsification in that extracted from cottoniced. Pautet's reactive and Lefebre and Lauret's oleometers are gen. erally used for detecting adulterations, but ss. them jority of the people do not possees those apparatuses it is opportuns to give a few prac- tical rules for discovering the fraud.

Oil coming from Seville may be accepted without scrapie for being as represanted, : Alj the_business firms dealing to this commo- dity have such competent exparts that they are able to tell whether the oil is adul. terated or not by its colour and odour. Those who are not able to detect adulterations by these practical means should shake the oil, whereupon a small crown of bubbles will he formed immediately. If the mixture contains contorised oil these will disappear very slowly. Should the mixture be made with poppy oil more or less foam will appear, according to the greater or smaller quantity of the adulterative matter it contains. If the means are inspffi. cient to discover the fraud, then congelation or fretting abould be tried, which is the, surest method, owing to the exclusive property of olive all to freeze at three or four degrees above (aere, whereas other olfs 'need a temperature of
