Dangers of Choral Hydrate.

WE have before alluded in these col
umns to the dangerous but growing prac-
tiCe in the community of using the hy-
drate of chloral independent Of the advice
and supervision of the physician. Yet, in
spite of repeated warnings from the mcdi-
cal press and elsewhere, its employment,
like alcohol and opium, as Il narcotic lux
ury, is daily increasing, and frequent
deaths from il are the consequence. The
same is true in English communities,
where its indiscriminate use has become
81 common that DR.. B. W Richardson, F..
Il. s, the man who first introduced the
compound to the profession, and who,
from long and careful observation and eX-
pertinent, has become better acquainted
with its properties than any one else, has
felt compelled to utter solemn public
warming against the abuse. He states
that the habitue to this influence becomes
diseased person, and in not few cases
already the habitual dose has been the
last-involuntary, or rather unintentiOnal
suicide being the result. In this respect
il is different from either alcohol or OPT
um for with these, an increase, or what
comes to the same thing, frequent rep
ctition of the dose is the source Of dan
ger, while with the chloral thcaccustomcd
dose may be the fatal one. In cases where
chloral hydrate is producing dangerous
symptoms threatening to bc fatal, Dr.
Richardson recommends warmth food,
and artificial respiration ms the great rem
edies for the emergency Galaxy.

more startling facts but were it other
wise, were our fires the most destructive

use in whining over them. The finest part
of every great city is that built on the site
of great conflagration. There is, how
ever, one point Of view in which the Chi
cago fire is distinguished above all others,

fire, indeed, no calamity of any lind--has
created so noble and universal an outburst
of substantial sympathy. This is one fact
which the American historian of the

as an example to the good and generous OF

Honor TIE ScIssoRs.-Some people il
norant of what good editing is, imagine the
getting up of selected matter to be the ca
siest work that is done on paper. If they
find the editor with scissors in hand, they
are sure to say, "Eh! that's the way you
get up original matter, eh !" accompanying
their new and witty questions with an idi.

interest, the morality, the variety and use,

ROAST Pro 100 YEARS OLp.-One
house in Pompeii had evidently been in q
state of repair when the volcano storm
buried it. Painters and decorators and
cleaners were masters Of the situation. The
house hold gods were all in disorder, and the
family, if not out of town, must have been
undergoing that condition Of misery which,
spring cleanings and other like infections
inevitably entail. Painters pots and
brushes and workmen's tools were scattered
about. Tell-tale pots of whitewash starred
wall and floor. Such domestic implements
as pots and kettle had been bundled up in
a corner all by themselves, and the cook
was nowhere. Dinner, however, had not
been forgotten. A solitary pot stood SIM
mering (if it ever did simmer) on the
stove. And (start not, for it is true)
there was bronze dish is waiting before
the oven, and on the dish sucking pig
all ready to be baked. But the oven was
already engaged with its full complement
of bread. So the sucking pig had to wait.
