PARIS GREEN FOR COLORADO

VIII you oblige me by publishing
these few lines on Paris Green for po-

variety of other names) is a fine pow
der composed of arsenic, copper and
acetic acid, and contains about half
its weight of arsenic in a semi-soluble
form. Five or six grains of this irrl-
tant metallic poison are sufficient to
cause death i'm an adult, and the least

any quantity and this is the material
that is used on potato plants.
1t is said that this is the only efficient
destroyer of the beetle known and 1t
has been used in the West for this pur-
pose, recognizing injurious effects.
Nevertheless, the danger is much too
CRATE to permit its use by New England
farmers. 1t is not known that the
arsenic or copper is absorbed by the
plants; they may be; but assuming
that they are not, then the dangers

organ was in the monastery Of little
town on the banks of the Danube.
He was then only six years old, and in
company with his father had left his
home in Salisbury and started upon
long course Of travel. All day long
they had been sailing down that ma
jestic river, past crumbling ruins, tow
ering cliffs, frowning castles, cloisters
hidden away among the crags, quiet
villages nestled in sunny valleys, and
here and there deep gorge that open
ed back from the gliding river, its hol-
low distance blue with fathomless shad-
ow, and its loneliness and stiffness
stirring the boys heart like some dim
and vast cathedral.
The company of monks with whom
they had been travelling that day were
at supper in the refectOry Of the clois-
ter, when father Mozart took Wolf
gang into the Chapel to see the organ.
And now as the boy gazed with some
thing Of awe upon the great instru-
ment, looming up in the shadows of
the empty church, his face lit up with
serene satisfaction, and every motion
and attitude of the little figure ex-
pressed wonderful reverence. What
tones must even now be slumbering
in those mighty pipes tones which,
if once awakened, could give utterance
to all the voiceless beauty which the
days scenes had showed him-life and
death, present and past; the quiet
river and the deserted ruin; the sun
shine unfailing and the unfailing shad-
ow at its side.
Father" said the boy, explain tc
me those pedals at the organs feet,
and let me play"
Well pleased, the father complied
Then Wolfgang pushed aside the stool
and when father Mozart had filled the
great bellows, the elfn organist stood
upon the pedals and trod them as
though he had never needed to have
their management explained.
How the deep tones woke the som

We were somewhat surprised and
amused by ''squib" ii. e. harmless
firecracker-vide Webster)that appear
ed in the Garrettsville Journal a few
days ago. The writer, in his efforts
to be facetious and sarcastic, and also
obliging to his prompters, evidently
for a time dismissed his usual good
sense and acuteness in his search for
items. Had he attended even one o t
Mrs. Wilson's seances, after having
such special invitation to do so, he
could, probably, have witnessed for
himself those transparent feats of

ough search by competent and accept

astounding manifestations occurred i'll

made to debar any honest Investigator
in his search after TRUTH; neither was
there one particle of proof discovered
