PEACH Poison ~ ritz STONE The
Scientific American says; "a fatal case
OF poisoning by peach stones, which is
noted in the French papers az having
recently occurred In Paris, should serve
asa warning to families in which children
are allowed TO look after themselves for
hours ut time. Probably worry few
adults themselves know how poisonous
peach stones nre. The victim OF the re.
cent accident in Paris sccreted the
stones OF number Of peaches, and oh.
tanning a hammer. when left alone broke
them open industriously and ate them I:
the result being that he was fatally poi.
soned by hydtocynic (prussic) acid.
Since Che peach season IL now upon us
it IL we'll 10 explain what quantity Of
poison the peach stone possesses. Wri.
ters on texicoIogy state that one ounce
OF the kernels contain about one grain
Of pure prussic acid, and this quantity.
II is we'll known. Is sufficient TO kill any
adult person. Even two-thlrds Of
grain has very often proved fatal, and
indeed may we'll he regarded a. a fatal
dose for any child"

married, but Jane Cunningham charmed
him, and led him by degrees to an in.
fatustion which caused tue unfortunate
man to murder his wife, in the woods
near Cresaptown. for which he was az
forwards hanged in this CITY. Jane
Cunningham lived for some time in the
South the life OF a depravea woman,

name and opened saloon on North
Gay street, which was for. sny years
the resort Of depraved. characters Her
health finally gave way, and over TWEEN
tyyears ago she was adm}tted to an in.
