Poisonous Wall Paner

DIR. Holm communicates TO an
Cpsala paper upward of twenty
cases of arsenic poisoning from
wall paper, lamp screens, aud cur.
tains of dwelling houses. In these
cases the etiolOgy was evident, and
the symptoms were distinct and
characteristics. The latter were
chiefly the following: Headache,
with a sensation as of a ligaturo
tightly embracing the head giddi-
ness and fainting; occasionally q
faltering gait and fog before the
eyes-the latter were often red and
painful; nausea, occasionally vom.
iting, especially in the morning.
Frequently the appetite is bad, the
tongue furred, and there was con-
stipation. The sleep was often dis
turbed by dreams. There was gen.
eral sinking of the corporal and
mental strength; dizziness of the
memory and of the power of
thought. The appearance was each
etc, and there were occasionally
tremors and nervous weakness. 1t
happened pretty constantly that the
symptoms rapidly disappeared when
the poisoned room was vacated for
while or tho arsenical substances
we're removed; they rapidly return
ed, however, when the patient re-
occupied the room. Poisoning also
occurred where arsenical paper had
been covered over with paper that
was free from this substance, or
where the arsenic was present in oil
colors. The author is of the opin-
ion that arsenic is preaent in the air
of such rooms in the form of arsen-
iuretted hydrogen, and that it lie
more probably absorbed into the
human body by way of the skin
than by the respiratory organs

STATE RELIEF SOCIETY.
The Meeting of Last Week
0md Results.

The State Central Relief Com
mittee held its last session, but one,
last week. The next meeting will
be for formal dissolution and the
submission of their printed report
to the people. The reports submit
ted of the doings of the committee
show that there has been received
in cash the sum of S46,0I6.7S, oil
which there has been expended
$34, 55S So, leaving on hand a bal
ance of Sll,454.93. The supplies
raised aggregate boxes, barrels and
parcels, the estimated value OF
which is, in round numbers, 5000
600.
The committee expected 10 have
made a last appeal for seed, but aft
er fully discussing the action OF the
| legislature, and its utter failure IN
do anything worthy of the name of
relief, together with the effect that
its non action would have upon our
sister states, left the members of
the committee without the effront-
cry or hardihood TO make another
appeal. The committee expects
another liberal contribution from
California, which, added 10 what ii
now has on hand, will make some
thing like $4,000 or $4,000. This
will be expended in seed corn, oats,
potatoes, etc and the $1,000 voted
by the legislature will be taken to
fpay the freights. The seed thus
! purchased will be distributed in the
most destitute counties.
The following resolution was
passed:
BE IL TeSOlred, That The executive
committee are hereby directed TO
apply such monies as they may
hereafter receive in the purchase OF
grain for seed and food for supplies
| for the destitute COUNTIES. in such
quantities as they may in their wis
dom find necessary, and that they
publish a card reminding persons
contemplating donations of grain
for seed that the time for the deliy-
cry of the same is short, and that
the need lie great and pressing.
The committee will remain in the
field until about the 1st of May, do
ing all in its power towards sup

How We Throw Ourselves
Away.
The Spirit of kansni

The spirit of hanSaS.
The world is full of men who are
throwing themselves away. We do
not allude merely to those whose
ruin is brought on by the common
forms Of vice, such as drunkenness,
gambling and other forms of sensu-
ality, but to men who throw them
selves away by less fragrant errors.
One fancles, for instance, that he
ought to be in a public office, and,
negleciing his business, runs after
the will-o-wisp of politics, till fin
ally he ends in bankruptcy and dis
grace. Another, dissatisfied with
slow returns of legitimate trade,
embarks in speculation, and not on
ly ruins himself, but helps to bring
on a financial crisis which drags
down hundreds of innocent people.
A third, neglectful of the adage
that ga rolling stone gathers no
moss" shifts his quarters continu-
ally, locating now in one place and
now in another.
Others throw themselves away
by being ready to attend to every
body's affairs but their own. They
make money at first by strict atten-
ton to business f; begin then to as
pire after what they call position -
get elected bank director, neglect
their own business, and find, when
the crisis like the one now upon us
comes, that their affairs are hone
lessly involved. Others, from the
very beginning, are at the beck and
call of any one who is willing to
impose on their good nature. They
never, in consequence, acquire
means of their own. Some men
ruin themselves by having too
much hope. Like Nicawber, they
arc always waiting for something
to turn up; they do not, therefore,
labor and save as they should, and
they are, as might have been ex-
pected, beggars all their lives. An
other class is too ready to despair
a breath of wind knocks them oyer,
and when down, they have not the
pluck to get mp and try again, but
lie in the highway bemoaning and
lamenting like children, waiting for
somebody to pick them up.
The methods, in fact, are infinite,
by which men throw themselves
away. Hundreds do it by indoors
ing for friend; and they endorse,
not because they are ignorant of its
folly, but because they cannot say
"no.' Hundreds of others throw
themselves. away by aspiring TO
have fashionable acquaintance; to
live i'll fine houses to give costly
entertainments; and of the hun
dreds who thus ruin themselves,
quite One-half have no taste for
such things, but fall victims to a
miserable vanity. One man throws
himself away by yielding TO the ex-
travagant fancies of silly wife.
Another throws himself away by
not marrying at all.
In all times the shore of life Is
strewn with shattered wrecks. How
many of these have gone ashore
without any fault of their own
How many have thrown themselves
/ away? If we could know the his.
tory of each voyage, we should find
that the number of the latter far
exceeded the former; for ever in
hurricanes it is only those close to
the lee shore who canno t claw off.
Our own bad seamanship 1t is that
makes MS too often cast-aways.

The star of the young Aiphonso,

of brightness, is already on the

raised by his coming have been
woefully disappointed. Instead OF
annihilating Carlism and restoring
peace 10 the country, his accession

new reverses TO the national armies

that his popularity is no longer

The above years include five
years of destructive war,
which increased the deaths
largely over what they would have
been under more favorable circum-
stances. Yet it shows an annual
death rate of but nine and four
fifths out of every 1000 members.
In Kansas, the actual average death
rate was ~ per 1000 members. and
insurance has cost here SS.25 per
year, including all persons, from 81
to "a years of age.
Experience has shown that a
mans estate does not amount 10
much for his family, after the adj
ministrator let's go his hold on it.
A man may die reputed to be very
wealthy; yet 8 shower of claims
will suddenly come in against the
estate, and the next move will be a
petition for authority to sell his
real estate to pay debts. When
they are paid, little or nothing is
left. Insurance money cannot be
touched for any purpose by any but

ance is coming 10 be looked to as

is. the cheapest known-that it costs
only ebout-oRe-Seeeath as much as
the regular insurance companies
charge, and that it is paid in trifling
installments, scattered through the
year, that are scarcely felt. Every
Odd Fellow should avail himself of
this opportunity, without delay, and
