If you discover that a per-
son has swallowed poison by
design or accident, give him
water to drink, cold or warm as
fast as possible, a gallon or more
at a time, and as fast as vomi-
ted drink more; tepid water is
the best, as it opens the pores
Of the skin and promotes vom-
iting, and thus gives the speedi-
est cure to the poisonous arti-
Gle. If pains begin to be felt
in the bowels, it shows that d
part, at least, Of the poison has
passed downward; then, large
and repeated elections Of tepid
water should be given, the OBJ
ject in both cases being to di-
lutte the poison as quickly as
possible. Don wais for warm
water, for every moment of
time saved is Of immense i'm
portmce, at the same time send
instantly for a physician, and as
soon as he comes turn the case
into his hands, telling him what
you have done. The simple
fact cannot be too widely pub
lished. 1t is not meant to say
that drinking a gallon or two
Of simple water will cure every
case of poisoning, but it will
cure many, and benefit all by its
rapidly diluting quality.

Age Of Apple Trees.

A writer in the Country Gen
ttemaje says: at seems to be
the common belief that there is
no limit to the natural age Of ap-
pie trees. But this is certainly a
mistake. We all know that the
peach tree usually fails TO be
profitable at II to Is years of
age, and that the cherry and
plcm average only 20 to 80 years;
the pear, in favorable circum-
stances, 40 to so years,-in rare
eases much longer time. So,
also, the apple tree has its natu.
raj limit, and although, like mans
life, the duration of the period
of health and vlgor varies great
ly, according to constitution, nur-
ture, climate, etc, its approach
ing termination is clearly indica-
ted by signs of debility and dis
ease. On very deep and favora-
bic soils, and where the trees are
not damaged by severity of eli
mate, apple orchards are occa-
sionally found bearing fair crops
of fruit at 80 to 100 years of age,
but these are nearly as rare as
for their owners to live SO long.
Very few farms have soil CT the
best kind for an orchard, and ev.
erywhere our climate is either
too warm, or at times too cold, for
the best health of the trees. In
jury by severe cold, blackening
all the wood, except as new
growth is formed, | am convinced
is very common cause OF the
premature failure of orchards;
but starvation, in consequence of
exhaustion Of the soil, is still
more common, and this is more
difficult matter to remedy than
most people suppose, especially
when trees have attained full
bearing size.

REX CARNIvALLI-A Increment Oh
Foot Tor the Observance Of MorG GrdS.-
"Fill the bright goblet, spread the festive
board,
summon the gay, the noble and the fair;
Thro' the loud hall, in Joyous concert
poured,
Let mirth and music sound the dirge OF
care.
Long live Rex Carnivalli! And SO
should it be. We were informed last
night that g movement was now on
foot among the young gentlemen of this
CITY to organize the ~. l.. A. o.
, Society, and thus perprtuate the obser-
vance of Mardl Gras in this city.
The festival Of Mardi Gras day is of
ancient origin, being traced back beyond
the Jubilee of the Hebrews, and is OBJ
served more punCtuslly in France and
Italy than in other countries, and has
been designated as the "Dsy of Misrale, "
in consequence OF the license allowed in
the way of merry-making. Some years
ago it was charged by Europeans that
Americans, and more particularly those
O! the South. were without amusements,
and the charge was not without fOunds-
ton, though Mardi Gra. has been ceIe-
brated from time immrmoriai in New
Orleans and other large Southern cities,
Mardi Gras. or a the English term it,
Fat or Shrovc Tuesday, is the day pre-
cedng Lent, and is the last day upon
which amusementS are tolerated before
entering on the austeritirs of the LcnteH
season IN countries where the Catholic
religion prevails, and Is gwen IT, mirtb,
music and mummery. The ceremonies
in the country of its origin bear strong
resemblance to the SaturnslIa, and are
easily traceable to the usages of heather
Rome Being of foreign origin and so
long the exclusive property OF the Latin
races. it was thought that Mardi Gras
would never become popular holiday
with the sturdy AEglo-SaXons, but like
many more important: prciudlces. that
opinion has had 20 give place 10 sober
fact, and the carnival with all It's license,
fun and frolic. and much Of its eNtraya-
gance has been Americanized, and every
town in the South of any pretentioAs has
its procession. ball and ceremonies. The
North, too, is gradually falling into line,
and the day Is fast becoming legal
holiday.
The first Observance of Mardi Grss in
this city, took place this year, and was
celebrated with due pomp and splendor.
Among the gentlemen who conceived the
idea of introducing the custom here.
were Messrs. Ed. Anshutz, Frank John
son, &. &. johnson, Fred. Huseman, VIM.
Wilkinson, Will Rose. Ed. Mendel. and
others to whom is due the credit Of the
fete held in this city. For next year, how
ever. larger number OF persons
have taken the matter in hand,
and We understand are making earnest
endeavers 20 eclipse the effort OF this
year, which was indeed creditsb!e. Let
those having the matter in chvrge receive
all due encouragement from our citizenE,
that it may eventually eliminate IN
grand success The ladies', too, should
preach the Observance of the day into
the ears of their sweethesrts and spur
them on 10 action. In short
Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee
Jest and youthful JOllity-
Quips and cranks and wanton wiles,
Mods and becks and wreathed smiles.
