these bees. but were invariably driven

Within four years, the bees have added
not less than fifteen feet OF depth to

POISONING FROM GREEN WALL PAPER.
a lady in Western Massachusetts,, last
summer. was taken sick. suffering from
pirostration and general nausea. The
physician, failing to discover any cause,
finally suspected that it might be from
the green wall paper OF her room. She
was removed to another room, and i'm.
mediately recovered, which led to an
analysis by the State chemist, at Hare
ford. OF the wall paper, which resulted
IN the discovery thnt every square foot
OF tEis Inuocent-looking pnper contained
IN amount of tho poison equivalent to
live grnins of tue arsenioua ncid, or
double the fatal dose for an adult person.
This, in the moist warm weather of last
July and August, was amply sufficient to
keep the air Of room constantly i'm
pregnateI with the poison, aud a1y per-
son occupying such room would be as
certainly poisoned as though tue arsenic
had been taken into the stomach.

A QUESTION FOR GRAAdMARfANs.- The
Hudson Register deals humorously with

a QUESTION FOR GRAMA1ARfANs.-Th
Hudson Register deals humorously with
question OF grammar as follows:
A searoher after truths writes TO ask ns
which is grammatically correct, to saw
''the house is building" or 'sthe house
is being built, l" ''the street is paving. u
or "the street is being paved?" There
is wide diversity of opinion upon this
subject; but We incline to favor ''is being
built" for the following reasons: Sup,
pose you wish to express another kind Of
an idea, would you say, for instance,
Johnny is spanking" or ''Johnny is
being spanked?" The difference to you
may seem immaterial, but it be matter
OF considerable Importance to johnny;
and it is probable that. if any choice
we're given him, he would suddenly select
the former alternative. You soy again
that the missionary is eating" Ger
talnly this Expresses very different and
muoh pieasantcr idea than the form
s'Tho missionary is being eaten;" and
the sensation is very different for the
missionary, too. We have consulted
several missionaries about it, md thew
all seem to think that the two things are
somehow not the same, no matter what
the grammarians say.
But it is to be confessed that thero are
occasions when tho difference in the
form is not 30 marked. You assert, we
say, that "Hannah is hugging'-which,
by the way. would be very improper
thing for Hannah to do; it would be
positively scandalous. indeed. Precisely
similar idea is conveyed if you say,
Hannah is being hugged." because it is
popularity OF the act that it is hardly
ever one.sided; there is no selfshness
about it. And it is the same with kiss
ing. "Jane is kissing her mother
ought to know it, if she isis just ex-
acsIy as if we should say. "Jano is being
klssed;" aud the sensation is the same,
although none Of the grammars, by a
singular inadvertcnce, mention the fact.
1t will not be necessary, however, for our
correspondent to attompt to prove these
last mentioned facts by practice. He
must take our word for them. Unless
he does 30. We shall answer no more
questions in syntax for him or any one
else. Our duty is to conserve the morals
OF the community, not to start people to
playing private games of Copenhagen.

with swindling leading dry goods firms
of New York to the amount of $500, 600.
For one year he operated ut tho expense
OF these firms without exciting their sus-
picion, and was thus enabled to amass
the vast amount mentioned, or it's value
in goods. Lagrave has been twice mar

New York, and both his wivos obtained

Provide Against Danger.-At THIS season
all the great lines Of travel begin to swarm
with human beings intent on business or pleas
ure. Are these moving multitudes aware oil
the danger which cnsuos from drinking differ
cnt varieties Of water and breathing atmos-
phcrcs to which their lungs are unaccustomedI
Do they realize how important it is to be pre-
armed with an antidote that will defend their
systems from the evil consequences of such
changes and from all ailments and disturb
snces which arise from the miasma so plenti-
fully evolved from the soil at this period Of the
year? Such an antidote-certain in its pro-
tective operation and free from everything OBJ
jectionable in its composition and havor-has
been for twenty years before the world. No
instance can be adduced. during that period.
in which Hostettor's Stomach Bitters has failed
as an acclimating medicine, or as preventive
of the bodily lila TO which the undefended
system is liable in unhealthy localities. A
good appetite. perfect digestion, vigorous
condition of tho nervous system, functional
regularity. and pure and active circulation,
are the elements of health, and these signal
blessings may be secured and perpetuated by
the use of this powerful, yet harmless, vegeta-
bic tonic. Such is the experience Of all who
have ever taken tas a safeguard against the
diseases which debility. irregularity and a
morbid condition of the solids and fluids of
the body are sure to invite.
