ADULrERArED LIQuoRs.-Dr. Hiram (


 ADULrERArED LIQUORS Hiram Cox, the Cincinnati inspector, has published many deeply interesting facts of his experience in testing liquors sold in that city. In 100 in spections of stores aud lots of liquors of er- cry variety, he found that 90 per cent were impregnated with the most pcrnicious and poisonous ingredients. Nineteen young men. all sons of respectable citizens, were killed outright by only three months drink ing of these poisoned liquors. Many older men, who were ouly moderate drinkers, died within the same period of deIirium tremens, brought on in one quarter of the time usual, even with confirmed drunkards, by drinking this same poison Of 400 insane patients, he found that two-thirds had lost their req. son from that cause Many of them were boys under age. One boy of IT was made insane by the poison from being drunk only once. Seeing two men drinking in grog shop, and that the whiskey was so strong that it actually caused tears to flow from the eyes of one of them, the doctor obtained some of it and applied his tests He found it to contain only 1! per cent of alcohol, when it should have contained 4C, and that the difference was supplied by sulphuric acid, red pepper, caustic, potassa and strych. nine. A pint of this liquor contained ei, ough poison to kill the strongest man. The man who had manufactured it had growr wealthy by producing it.

me of his reasons for not pur.basi,v tha body of Robert S----.
 "The fact is" said he, T bought that poor fellows carcass once before. He was hunr for burglary two years ago in the next conn. ty, and was carried to my house after exc. cution. He frightened Mrs. Ma good deal that night by the noise he made with his returning animation It wa. annoying of course, but my trade being to cure, and not to kill I was obliged to do what could for him, and he was we'll in fortnight; and yet that lesson, severe as it was, had, you see, no effect upon him, and he has now been hung in real earnest. He did not know that l was to be the doctor sent for, and was taken terribly aback when he saw me. The rascal had never returned me my ten pounds, you see, and was not going to pay for the same thing twice over. I should have declined any further dealings with him, be- sides, since his manner assured me that he had some device in his head of escaping the hangman yet. have found out what that was TOW, for, between ourselves, l did get the body after all He did not trust to chance, which through the mismanagement of the rope saved him on the former occa- sion, but had provided himself with silver tube-a thing not of the slightest use, poor fellow, but which many of his class put an implicit trust in-which he managed to keep about him, and to place unobserved in his throat on the fatal morning. found it there myself"
 Thus even in the case which had judged to be an exception to the general rule, the one cause of apparent fortitude in the per- son irrevocably doomed to Death, was the secret hope of escaping it

WHY so MUCH BEAUTY IN POLAND r. Because, says Bayarj Taylor, there girls do not jump from infancy to young ladyhood They are not sent from the cradle te the parlor, to sit still and look pretty. No, they are treated as they should be. Dur iug childhood, which extends through pe- riod of years, they are plainly and loosely dressed, and allowed to run, romp and play in the open air They take in sunshine as the flower. They are not loaded down, girded about. and oppressed with countless frills, and superabundant founces, so as to be admired for their much clothing. Nor are they rendered delicate and dyspeptic by continual stufing with candies and swee, cakes, as are the majority of American chil dren Plain, simple fofSf free and various exercise. and abunds SV.
