CHLOROFOkM IN PoIsoNING.-The Roches-
ter Democrat, of the 18th inst, records a case
of accidental poisoning from strichnine, in
which chloroform was successfully applied to
relieve the terrible spasms of the patient
The person took four grains of strychnine in
mistake for another powder, and soon as the
discovery of the mistake was made, an emetic
was given. Two large emetics, taken in quick
succession, failed to produce vomiting. The
patient was convulsed with the severest forms
of tetanic spasms. His jaws were firmly
locked, and it was impossible to open his
mouth to administer remedies. The approach
towards his mouth caused recurrence of the
spasms. Chloroform was applied, which re-
lieved the spasms in about three minutes, and
stopped them completely in ten minutes,
when third powerful emetic was given. If
the chloroform application was RENTED, the
spasms instantly returned in full force so
that it was found necessary to keep the pa
tent constantly under the influence of the
enesthetic. In about ten minutes after the
third emetic was taken, vomiting was pro-
duced. The patient was kept under the in
fiuence of chloroform till the next morning.
During the time that the spasmodic action
was controlled by the chloroform, the system
had opportunity to throw off the poison that
had been taken in by the absorbents, and
when thst was effected, the patient was out
of danger. He had retained his conscious
ness during the whole of the period that he
suffered from the effects of the poison.

FashionabIes at Northern Watering
Places

a correspondent of one of the New York
city exchanges draws quite an interesting
picture of fashionable life at Saratoga. IF be
true that the circumference of fashionabl,
dressed woman there is about seven feet and
half, and of the ten thousand visitors said
to be at that interesting locality, one-half be
longs to the softer sex, Saratoga must be in
a crowded condition. But for the fact that
these hoped petticoats are suspended on a
peg at night, we think it would lie diff
cult task to furnish sleeping accommodations
for the ten thousand souls that are now
drinking Congress water at that delectable
region.
The correspondent alluded to says:
The circumference Of a fashionaby
dressed woman here is about seven feet and
a half, and when two of these bellies get to
waltzing together they look like large bal
loon inverted. The daily occupation of the
fair creature begins with dressing in elabor-
ate morning attire and promenading to the
Springs, where she takes two or three glass
es of the water. Returning, she has sylph-
like bIeakfast-then dresses for the drive
After the drive she takes an anti-prandial
snooze or receives a snob or two. Then
comes the work of dressing for dinner, for
which she appears, like Wilkins in the song,
in gallant array with all sorts of diamonds
and things. Dinner is at three, and fills up
two hours. Next comes riding, and in the
evening the fair flowers of creation dance to
the music of Monks Band or vagabond-
ize bareheaded round about the streets of
the village.
Such is the daily life of the Saratoga
belle. She gets up good many firtations
and she likes it. Look at the splendid crea-
tHre in pink; she has already exhausted three
waltzing men, and is now flirting with a
thin youth in the corner. He Is telling her
that he is off for Newport tomorrow, and
wants bit of her hair before he leaves
She tries to look sorry, but is really thinking
whether he could give her brown stone
front in good street and ten thousand a
year.
" The daily life of the snob at the springs
is about the same as that of the bellies, if lie
is a lady's snob. He is her cavalier serviente,
and revolves around her hoops. He is treat
ed as she treats her lap-dog, and is thrown a
smile with the same air that Fidele receives
a chicken bone. But it is the style among
some snobs to call these women a bore,
you know" These last named snobs play
billiards, smoke awful cigars, drive horses
which are bought, and the buyers sold at the
same time, and otherwise spend their time
in those healthy and invigorating sports
which makes the American snob so valuable
a member of society. The lady's snob is
preferable to the " horse and billiard snob."

Good News for the Parma.

II is not month since we congratulated
the country on the result of another glorious
grain harvest throughout the Union. 1t was
then predicted that France and England
would again have extensive recourse to our
overlooking graneries, as in 1855, although
their own harvest might promise fair. The SO
counts received by the Persia yesterday bring
the evidences of this demand much earlier
than we had anticipated, and, although fair
allowance should still be made for the sudden
and frequent changes in the English harvest
weather, which in the end may prove favor
able to an average yield, there is scarcely q
remaining doubt that the general supply
throughout Europe will fall short of the
wants and ability of the people to consume
good bread, unless the United States be large
ly drawn upon. This remark applies more
particularly to wheat and -four. D..
There is another feature in the present
news of the highest importance to the Amer
lean farmer, and to our railroad lines employ
ed in the transportation of breadstuffs. The
potato disease has re-appeared in Ireland and
in some districts Of England, and, the fact
having been made known in Liverpool, an
immediate rise occurred in Indian corn, of
which the United States enjoy almost the ex-
exclusive supply to the British ports. As a
substitute for the potato it was found of the
utmost importance during the Irish famine of
1047, and, since then, has not only grown in
favor for bread, but in England for cattle feed
also. AS this is the first news of the injury
to the potato, it will, of course, be acted up
on with some degree Of caution until further
accounts of the arrest or progress of the dis
ease. The chances are, however, that in
England, where the Sensitiveness on the food
supply is extreme, the present advance on
Indian corn will be well supported until all
apprehensions shall have been completely
removed. And this will give our farmers a
good price for an important staple, and our
railroads at the West large addition to their
freight traffic, in an article which can only
pay the charges for transportation by rail-
road when prices are well up-Nes0 Korl
Times.

MAGNETIC IRoN.-A correspondents of the
New York Scientific American, writing from
Bloomfield, N. j., says that on a railway
near that town, there is an uphill grade,
running northwest, of eighty or ninety feet
to the mile, on which each of the individual
rails is magnet, the upper end being a
South pole, and the lower end North pole.
He presumes that on all inclined railway
grades the case is the same, no matter what
is the direction, or from what mine the iron
came, as there is law Of magnetism, that
all bars of iron become magnets the moment
you raise them from horizontal position.
This magnetic law, he thinks, has not been
considered enough on board Of vessels, in
relation to local attraction, and he adds, that
it has doubtless been the cause Of their run
ming on shore sometimes. s. t.

ENGLISH vs.. AMERICAN GIRLS. - The
English girl spends more than one-half Of
her waking hours in physical amusements,
which tend to invigorate, and develop, and
ripen the bodily powers. She drives, walks,
rides, rows upon the water, runs, dances,
sings, plays, jumps the rope, throws the ball,
hurls the quoit draws the bow, keeps up
the shuttlelock-and all this, without hav-
ing forever pressed upon her mind that she
is thereby wasting her time. She does this
every day, until it becomes habit which
she will follow up through life. Her frame,
as natural consequence, is larger, her mus
cular system better developed, her nervous
system in better subordination, her strength
more enduring and the whole tone Of her
mind healthier. .l

DISCOVERIES OF THE PRESENT CENTURY
Some of the most wonderful results OF hu-
man intellect has been witnessed in the last
fifty years. 1t is remarkable how the mind
of the world has run into scientific investi-
CATION and what achievements it has effected
in that short period
Fulton launched the first steamer in 1907
now there are three thousand steamboats, ira
versing the waters of America only.
In 1926 the first railroad was put in opera
ton in Massachusetts, In 1900 there was moi
a single railroad in the world. In the Uni
ted States alone there are now 1877 miles
OF railroad, costing S2S5, 100000 to build
and about $4,000 miles Of railroad in Europe
The electric telegraph had its beginning il
1S45. The electric magnet was discovered
ia 1912, and elec.rotyping is still later in
venton.
Hoes printing press, capable of printing
10000 copies an hour, is very recent dis,
covery.
Gas light was unknown in 1900; now
every city and town of any pretense is lighted
with gas, and we have the announcement oil
a still greater discovery, by which light, heat
motive power, may all be produced from
water, with scarcely any cost.
Daguerre communicated to the world hi
beautiful invention in 1889.
Gun cotton and chloroform are discoveries
but few years old.
Astronomy has added a number of new
planets to the solar system.
What will the next half century accom-
plish? We may look for still greater discov
cries for the intellect of man is awake, ex
ploring every mine of knowledge and search
ing for useful information in every depart
ment of art and industry.
