POISONOUS DYES.
A Case of Poisoning from
Wearing Beads.

Numerous cases of the poisonous
action of various coIored fabrics have
been reported in the medical and sci
entific journals of late years. But as
the people do not generally read these
journals they should be made aware
of the danger there is in many of the
most gsudily colored articles offered
for their admiration and use, through
the newspapers of the country.
The analine colors are those which
most frequently produce this poison
GUS effect. Arsenic enters, more or
less largely into their composition,
which is sufficient to account for their
poisonous influence. Those bright,
red, blue and green colors that are so
attractive to the eye are most dan
gerous, especially those to be worn
next to the skin, such as colored paper
collars, cravats, colored hose, beads
&C., &.
A case came under my treatment
this week which resulted from wear
ing a string of beads which were va
riously cOlored: red green, blue and
black. The perspiration dissolved
part of the red, blue and green col
ors. and this coloring matter coming
in contact with the neck, caused irri-
tation, followed by much redness and
tumefaction of the skin, with little
blisters and thick papulas eruption
resembling measles but rather more
prominent. The eruption was attend
ed with an itching, singing or burning
sensation, according to the severity of
the inflammation, There first came a
complete ring around the whole neck
and face and downwards over the
shoulders and arms. 1t is probable
that many cases that are attributed
to the poisonous action of the Rhui
Radicuus, or poison vine are due Il
these. poisonous dyes or paints.
DR.. Joseph Richardson, of Phila
delphia, reported a case in Phil. Med
times, for March, which was the re
suit of wearing a crimson cravat
DIR. Alfred Carroll, of the University
of New York, has reported two cases
one from using red flannel around th'
knee for rheumatic pains, and the
other from wearing gloves with I
wristbaRd dyed with analine purple
Other instances might be cited, bu
these are thought sufficient to mak'
people more cautious about wearing
colored fabrics next to the skin. I
is not expected that the use of thes'
articles viii be abandoned, but thi
may serve to indicate the cause whel
mischief is being produced.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARRNTs.-We
become what we are, not by nature,
but by growth. The tree grows; all
plants grow. The brute grows; he al
ways grows a brute, as tree grows
tree. Trees are much alike; so is the
brute, each of its kind. Something
can be done by educating a brute,
but not much With man it is differ
ent: as you make him so he is-but
YOU must begin with his first breath.
Then he viii grow with his education,
and that from the start. You may de-
pend upon Il, the foundation must be
laid Alright, or the whole life VIII be
NJ cross ends. There VIII he two
influences; the effect of early training,
and the after education. The two
must harmonize to make a life of har-
mony and to do the most work in it.
The essence of all wisdom has been
eulled and put into the Bible. That
tells us the truth of what we say. But
we need not this; we can see for our
selves. A training TO vice from youth
up. leads to the workhouse and the
gailows. 1t is in this way that our
criminals are made. There are hard
" exceptions to this. On the other
hand, a childhood spent under the
influence of a true mother, secures
the man against the dangers of the
other class. 1t does this in most of
the cases.
"Give me the first three years of a
child" says VOltaire, ''and you may
have the rest; 1 have secured my man.
II is on this principle that the Roman
Catholic church has made such firm
adherents. They begin with the first
dawRing of reason to teach the Cath
olic religion. Others are following:
Sunday schools are getting to be the
order Of the day.
Now, here is a chance chance TO
make what we wish of our child. Is
not this privalege? 1t is much more:
it is an awful responsibility. We
have given to our hands the making
of a man who IS TO help control the
world, and is in turn to direct others
for that purpose. If our man is but
started wrong, what will be the con-
sequence? 1t viii be setting wrong

The DEATH OF A DRUNKARD.-If
there is one spectacle on earth more
melancholy than another, it is the
death of a drunkard. Friends turn
away from such a scene in despair,
not wishing to linger to catch the
last whispers of the dying wretch,
whose scarcely perceptible breath
is impregnated with the fumes Of
poison, that has destroyed 10th
soul and body. When the last
spark expires, and the soul has Ia
ken its flight from rotten carcass,
and a few friends, out of daty to
kindred humanity, carry the cold,
polluted body to its silent hiding
place, . voice seems to proclaim, IN
accents fresh from the eternal
world, lest! lost: No ho2e-no
hopeI
Notwithstanding the awful truth
Of the above, there are those dear
to many who read this, now rush
ing on TO perform a part in this
melancholy tragedy. Some of the
most promising of friends a few
years ago, had written, while 9th
ers ara now writing their names
upon this pass-book of hell, and it
would appear from their acts as
though each were striving to be
first ola the list of victims. How
needless they rush on to ruinl We
would snatch them from the blood
dripping wheels of this idol, but
they will not be saved. If not

tions from such a fate:

With voiee ansi nlsin Of stern control
lie stood smsng tn. great and proud,
And words Of fre burst from his soul
Like lightninEs frSm tempest cloud:
His high and deathless themes were crown
ed
With glory Of his genius born,
And gloom and ruin darkly frOwned
Where fell his bolts Of wrath and scorn.
But he is goRe-the free the bold
The champion Of his eountry's right;
His burning eye is dim and cold,
And mute his voice OF conscious might;
Oh no, not mUte-his stirring call
Can startle tyrants on their thrones,
And on the hearts Of nations fall
More awful than his living tones.
The impulse that spirit gave
To human thoughts wild stormy sea,
VIII heave and thrill through every wave
OF that great deep eternAlly.
And the a1-eirclihg atmosphere
With which Is blent his breath Of fame
Will sound with cadence, deep and clear.
In storm and calm, his voice and name.
His words that, like a bugle blast,
Erst rang along the Grseian shore
And e'er the hoary Andes past
VIII still ring on for evermore.
Great Liberty will catch the sound
And start to newer, brighter life,
And summons from Earth's utmost bound
Her children to the glorious strife.
Unnumbered pilgrims Ger the wave,
In the far ages yet to be,
Will come to kneel beside his grave,
And hail him prophet of the free.
.Tis holier ground. that lowly bed
In which his mouldering form is laid
Than fields where Liberty has bled
Beside her broken battle blade.
Who now, in dangers fearful hour,
When all around is wild and dark,
Shall guard with voice and arm of power,
Our freedoms eonsecrated arkl
With stricken hearts-oh God, to those,
Beneath whose feet the stars are dust,
We bow, and ask that thou wilt be
Through every i'll our stay and trust.

WLsoS lad a theory that there
was nothing in the idea thst a bun
would become enraged at the sight of
a red rag, but he firmly believed that
the widest kind of animal could be
frightened by opening an umbrella IN
their faces. He determined to prove
the truth of this doctrine when he was
at Darby the other day, and selecting
a red flannel shirt and umbrella, he
climed over into a field and advanced,
waving the shirt at the bull. Since
then Wilson has said that he had no
idea bull could run at the rate of a
mile minute, bat anyhow this one
did not consume much time in ap-
preaching Wilson and he consequent
" dropped the shirt and tried to raise
his umbrella. Somehow the catch
wouldn't work and as the bull was
not aware of the necessity for the de-
lay. II became uncommonly sociable
on the spot, and the next moment Mr.
Wilson was performing a fantasy on
two horns, at the end of which he lit
on the other side of the fence, firmly
convinced that an earthquake or some
other extraordinary natural convul-
sion had Just occurred. He is a con-
vert now, and he carries a gun in
place Of an umbrella when he goes
out to skirmish with bulls.

The sanitary influence OfLight

The sanitary influence of light
can scarely be over-estimated. 1t

of the influence of light, become

their tissues is arrested 4 modica-
ton OF the coloring principles takes
place and they appear white instead
Of green. This is termed etiola-
ton, or blanchiRg, and is applied
by the gardner and hOrticulturists
In the case of certain kinds of veg
etables, to improve their edible
qualities. Childhood being pecu-
liarly a period of growth and de-
velopment, it is especially impor-
tant that children should have the
fullest possible benefit Of exposure
to direct sunlight. Many of the
diseases OF weak and emReiated
children who are reared IN the mar

pressure Of poverty are compelled
to dwell In localities and habita-
tions where the solar rays vainly
strive to enter. Ia many elegant
mansions, whose occupants can
command every luxury within the
reach of wealth, we see the most
ingenious means adopted for effee-
tually excluding light, with the in
evitable result of seriously impair
ing the health of the inmates. The
nursery, where children necessarily
spend so large a portion of their
time, particularly during the colder
of the year, should be plen-
tifully supplied with windows, and
shoufl be selected with special re-

structel so as to secure the greatest
supply Of light, and children re-
quire as much light as plants.

Of health, but is equal

eases. There are a large number
of disorders which may be greatly
benefited, if not cured, by free ex-
posure to the light of the sun, while
it certainly exerts an influence on
the mind favorable to recovery,
which cannot be wholly explained
by the mere cheerfulness and calm
ness it produces.-JowRal Of Hy-

lasting and real than that for which
it was fighting ten years ago.
GeOrgia's farmers are proving that
the South can be independent of
the West by raising its own corn,
aud the profits of Georgia and Ala
