procedure which has grown aa the de
mand for purity has Increased. The
work la cloauly Identified with . that of
tho ruttomit dlvlalun of the Treuaury de
partment in the classification of goods
whether food or not, when presented for
entry, must he covered by an Invoice
settling forth the amount and value of
the goods, vlgned by the American con
sul of the country from which the goods
are shipped. Wlieu the goods arrive at
the port of entry this consular Invoice,
together with the bill of lading, la pre
sented to tho customs depurtment, and
from It la approximated the duty. The
filing of theso pupera Is culled an "en
try." Tho Invoice, together with repre
sentative portions of the goods, la de
livered to the appralaer of luerckandlae,
who cluaalflea the.aame and fixes the
valuation thereof. The major part ot
the shipment In tho meantime Is released
to the conaiguee under proper bond for
It return If needed, a special form of
bond being required fur food product.
It Is during the time that the Invoice
and merchandise are In the possession
of the appraiser that tho rood and drug
producta are Inspected by a representa
tive of the department of Agriculture.
If the Inspection of an Invoice reveals
no product from which a sample la de
sired, the officer stump the Invoice "No
sample desired by I'nlud states Depart
ment of Agriculture. Aa invoice so
lamped may be returned to the collector
or passed to another examiner without
further detention. On the other hand, if
an Invoice reveals a product from which
a sample Is desired for analysis, the off!
cer attaches a "Bample requested tag to
the Invoice. On thle tag Is designated
the particular Item from which a sam
ple I daulred, and the amount. It then
becomes the duty of the examiner hav
ing the Invoice In charge to procure the
sample aud forward the same to the
laboratory at once, and la addition to
notify the t-onslgnee of the goods that a
sample baa been taken for analysis, and
that be must hold the shipment Intact
until the analysis Is completed and he
has received further notice from the Ie
parlment of Agriculture.
In some eases It I Impossible, from
the Invoke alone, to determine whether
or not a sample ahould be requested. In
such cases a ' detention" tug Is attacnoo
to the Invoice, which retains the Invoice
in the possession of the examiner until
the aoods covered by tt are received and
can be Innpected by the officer to find out
whether or not analytical examination
will 1e nocesrary. Following- this Inspec
tion the same course Is followed as In
the first Instance.
The goods when they are "entered" are
all oiwiied on the examining floor for
classification by the examiners, and at
this time are inspected by the officer of
the Iepartment of Agriculture. Many
times the examination of labels, condition
ot products, etc., 1 all that la neces
sary for Ms purpose, and can be done as
well on the examiner's floor as elsewhere.
Frequent analysis ot brands r lines pf a
manufacturer's product acquaints the
examiner with the character of the prod
uct, and an Inspection to determine the
presence or absence ot declaration ot
added material may be all that Is nec
essary. Thua trie inspection u greaujr
facilitated, and the work ot analysing
aamplea lu the laboratory lessened.
Analysis of any sample requested Is
made with aJI haste possible, as the vast
amount of matter entering dally must not
be allowed to congent. If possible. When
the analysis Is complete the importer Is
notified that no further action will be
taken by the lpartmaut ot Agriculture,
provided, of course, that the analysis has
shown nothing Which violates the lew.
That is termed a release for the ship
ment. But If. In the opinion of the chief
of the laboratory, the results ot the anal
yses or Inspection show violations ot the
law the collector ot customs Is requested
to obtain actual possession or me con
signment, and the importer 1 notified as
to the findings. He Is then told on what
day he may. either In person or In writ
ing, show why, the shipment ahould not
be excluded from entry Into this coun
try by reason of Its violating the food
and drugs law.
Uooda thus found to be In violation ot
the law are required to be reshlpped be
yond the Jurisdiction ot the United
States. If not reshlpped within three
months they are destroyed by the col
lector of customs. In cases where the
violation Is misbranding permission Is
sometimes granted to relabel the articles.
under the supervision of the customs au-
thorttlcs.
To those not familiar with the import
trade the amount of food and drugs stuff
entering this country is enormous. It
Is the general opinion, too, that those
products Imported constitute for the great
part only luxuries. Hut this Is an error,
as, for example, all our tea, coffee,
cocoa, spices and the greater portion of
our sugar and olive oil are imported.
Fresh and dried fruits, dried and saltd
flsli, canned vegetables and other every
day necessltlea all' appear In the list ot
Importations. I hiring one year there
were entered and passed at the port of
New York 93,000 Invoices covering ship
ments of food products, with a total
value ot more than Vl.WO.000, while the
value ot the drug importations for the
same length of time was nearly SS.&OO.OOU.
About 75 per cent of the food and drug
products Imported Into this country are
entered at the port ot New York.
Olive and peanut oils, because of sus
pected adulteration, are among the most
thoroughly Inspected Importations. In
one year the value of these producta en
tered aft the port ot New York wa? 13.300.
000. Another class ot product closely
inspected are meats and meat fuou prod
ucts. The; consist principally of hams,
bacon, sausage, etc., and mutton and
beef. The total value of these entered
at the port et New York during M year
was more than j00.0ou. of the varieties
ot fish laiparted, the sardine has been
most subject to adulteration, while the
total value of the fish importations for,
one year at the port of New York reached
nearly ft.000,000.
The coffee Imported exceeds In value
any other one product, as one year's en
try amounted to more than fi2,QOO,0X
The principal Inspection In connection
with this product Is an examination for
damaged geods. "Black Jack," a trade
name liven to berries which because of
damage have turned black. Is prohibited.
The value of tho spices entered at New
York is placed at J.0O0,ui)O, while tho
value of the wine aud liquor importation
is placed at tS.O00,0iM in one year. In
connection with the wlnea and liquors Is
found one of the principal classes of in
spection, as cases of misrepresentations
as to kind, quality and place ot produc

LOOK IN ON GIPSY WEDDING
II re, kl nor the "Good Lack" IIovtI,
the Endurance Dance and
Other Ceremonies,
There was feasting In the autumn camp
ot the Zudiik gypsies on tb bonks of the
canal near Summit, III., for last Thurs
day night Luba Mitchell, the 1$ year old
daughter of Lew Mitchell, the tribal
head man, was married to John F.mmil,
the best horse trader In the tribe. It
is even said by many that when Lews
Mitchell dies, John F.mmil will succeed
as heud man; and this, too, despite the
tact that John Is now only 21 years old.
Besldo John and Luba when they
listened to the reading ot the Bey Hat
erer, the gypsies' creed, were Nina Bimbo,
IS years old. who la a rousln of Luba,
and Frank Miguel, IS years old, who is
a nephew of John Emmll. Above their
heads, too, was broke the Taarabar Tear,
or good luck bowl, and until , Its pieces
shall, of themaelvea, come together again,
Nina and Frank, as woll aa their rela
tives, are man and wife, according to
the age-old laws of the Egyptians, the
Hungarian gypsies, aud the 10.0W scat
tered members of the Zudaa tribe. Thus
said Lews Mitchell as ha finished the
reading of the Key UaUrer, which l
written In strange script, and for cen
turies has descended from head man to
head man of the tribe.
The two newly married couples were
whirled by their . friends Into a dance
which lasted Intermittently for twenty-
four hours. Around the broad wagon
circled strip of prairie, where the 125
members of tho Bimbo family are camped
the irvDalea danced until they could
hardly stand. Night became morning;
day grew Into twilight; a drlxxle set In
and turned Into a bait-rain; but the gyp
sies danced on. It was not until late
last night that the newly married ones
were allowed to retire to their wedding
tents.
It was a grand celebration, a rejoicing
such aa the Bimbo caravan ha not seen
since Lews Mitchell took unto himself
his third wife. Frank Miguel and Nina
Bimbo had been betrothed for a year, but
they had waited for the decision ot their
ot unin to make it a double weddlnK.
The wedding preparation altogether
cost about a thousand dollars, for the
Bimbo caravan is one of the richest and
does not need to da these things modestly.
It is said that tho silk scarves and hand
kerchiefs which Luba gave tho wedding
guests cost her father more than wo.
Each woman who gave the bride a pres
ent was provided with one or, ins nana-
kerchlefs, and each man with a scarf
and a red rose.
Tho necklace which Luba wore about
her neck was made of twenty-five 110
and three JiO gold pieces. Her wedding
scarf, which has descended to her from
her great-grandmother, a gypele queen,
was trimmed with beaten silver spangles.
Luba says that collectors have offered
her aa high as $100 for it. but In her
own words. "I 'Would not sell It for free
t'ouaand." This latter statement, though
may be taken with seasoning, as. be
ing offered a thousand. Luba promptly
started to remove the scarf.
The Bey Haterer, from which Lews
Mitchell read the ceremony, U said to
be 2,000 years old. It Is never opened by
any one except the head man Into whoso
hands It descends, and only he, accord--Ing
to tradition. Is gifted with tha power
to translate its mysterious script.
It sounded mysterious enough, as tha
head man, dressed In white, pajama-llka
robes, read its first to his daughter and,
son-in-law; then to the other couple.
"What does It mean 7" Luba was asked.
"O," she made reply, "it meant ha
wish us good luck, plenty ot money, fln
horses, an' " she blushed "lota of chil
dren." Then John held the Taarabar Taar
above the Jiead of the bride and broke
it with a hammer. It fell In nine pieces,
which Is considered a sit'n of extraordi
nary good fortune.
