A curious case Of arsenic poison
ing has just occurred in Paris. A
rich lady residing in the Faubourg
st. Honore found herself growing
very i'll, and the doctor pronounced
her to be suffering from some slow
poison. Madame X. rejected this
idea as absurd, but on rising one
morning a glass of water which
was usually placed by her bedside,
was found to be discolored by a
white, himsy powder. On showing
this to the doctor, he at once de-
olared it to be arsenic. All inquiries
failed to detect the oulprit, and the
next night madame filed the glass
herself and kept careful watch
that no one meddled with it, New
ertheless, in the morning the white
powder again made its appearance,
and the doctor was fairly at his
wits end to find the cause. Final
", he discovered that his patient
was in the habit of reading in bed,
and for that reason candles were
kept burning all night in her room

weight Of lho Human Body.

O AS4N
Boston Transcript
There are few people but like to
be weighed occasionally; some do it
regularly at certain hours, before
and after meals, or taking a bath,
etc. Yet there are few things 50
changeable as the weight Of the
body; indeed, it is rarely the same
for a few minutes together /; and
if a man were to sit on one Of the
plates for a whole day, the other
plate would be constantly o%scillatlng
within certain limits. The state of
the weather and time of the year
influence our weight. In summer
we grow fatter than we are in win
ter; such is the general rule, yet
most people believe that hot weather
makes us leaner.. 1t is true we eat
less and prespire more; these are
certainly two causes of loss; but,
on the other hand, we expend less
to keep up the temperature of the
body, and moreover we drink more,
and our beverages possess the
curious property Of increasing our
fat. Beer, and even pure water,
are great f%attening agents. Cattle
reared for slaughter get a great deal
to drink, which increases their bulk
considerably; the tissues are gorged
with liquid, and SO the weight in
creases, but the system is weakened.
In winter, the organism has to be
provided with heat; we eat more,
but also expend more to keep up
the temperature of the bJdy then
also we drink less, so that, on the
whole, the loss is greater than the
gain, and we grow lean. In short,
we fatten when, under ordinary
circumstances, we burn more Of
the food we have taken, and we,
therefore, in breathing, exhale car
bonic acid in proportion. We be.
gin to emit less of the latter in
April; its amount diminishes con-
siderably in July, August and
September, and attains its minimum
about the autumnal equinox. j
then goes on increasing from 0cto.
Der, and we begin to lose the sub
stance gained during the summer
From December to March we re,
main nearly stationary. TO con
clude, as we consume less in sum
mer than in winter, all other cir
c%umstances remaing the same, w
are heavier in hot weather than WI
are in winter.

Captain James S. Wise, have noti-
fled Mayor Johnston that they viii

Goodwin Ensign was young man of rare char acter. He was endowed with all those qualities and graces which endear men to their fellows. From boyhood, those refined traits which made him 20 lovable to all with whom he came in con. tact, ''grew with hie growth and strengthened with his strength" until he became a model of uprightness in the community in which he resid- ed. As son, he wae ever dutiful and affection just at that time when he was opening into the promise of a useful manhood, they have little to cause pain in their recollections or his life He was devotedly attached to his brothers and eis- ed forward to his periodical home vieite, and the enthusiasm with which he was welcomed there, spoke of the depths of affection which filled his heart and theirs. As a echool-boy, Goodwin was habits, and avoidance of the evil ways of many boys. Beloved by the friends and neighbors of his boyhood years. as has been attested by the tears of strong men dropped upon his coffn to-
 day beloved by the entire community where he has spent his later boyhood and early manhood, he has gone down to his grave with the heartfelt sorrow of a wide circle of mourning friends. His employer gave to the writer glowing account of his many excellent qualities, and remarked, that in the course of the i've years he was in his em- ploy he never knew, or heard from him, solitary act or word which was not correct. He bore strong testimony to his integrity and faithfulness in the discharge of his duties. His perfect self control, amiable disposition, graceful and win invaluable in a business capacity.

SICKNESS AND NEGLECTED CELLARs-It is not probable that the amount of sickness bred ln cellars can ever be accurately esti- mated, but there is no doubt that many mysterious cases of typhoid and scarlet fe- vers, rheumatism or ague, may be correct ly traced to the malarious tffluvia emanat- ing from these neglected corners. Old boxes, bins and barrels, which have con- tanned vegetable matter, meat, fish, etc., need thorough overhaulng, because when standing in a dark corner they look empty, and there may be enough poison left stick ing on the sides and bottom to affect the health of the household. This work of cleansing IS often left 10 the women and boys of the family. A man had much bet ter leave his work day to make thor ough examination and publication of the cellar, than to be unduly anxious about get ting in his crop in extra season. After all garbage is carried out, let the ceilings and walls be faithfully brushed with an old broom; and if this be done once month the atmosphere will be all the sweeter. Use plenty of lime, and in dry weather keep the doors and windows open part of every day. Old tin and wooden ware should not be allowed to stand year after year upon the cellar shelve. If not fit to be used, throw it away.
