Wall Paper.

Formerly suspicion tell on green wall
paper only, and there was certain reason
for this, because there is really not the
slightest. excuse for using arsenic in even
the brilliant colors of any other shade tina"
green. Paper stainers, however, have.
found that IS such an unusually profta-
ble practice that now they are not content
to use arsenic in green wall paper only,
but are introducing into even the palest
white drawing room papers, and especial
IL into those which have an enamelled
ground. Some recent analsses have re-
suited in the startling disclosure that many
Of the pale-coIored wall papers contain
from fifteen to twenty-five grains of arsenic
per square foot, or a quantity in excess Of
that whichis contained III most Of the bril-
liant green papers. By attempting to make
the color of the pattern as dead as posi-
bic, the evil is increased, for the arsenical
coloring matter is puton in such d loose
| and poWdery form that the mere fEetloh
Of a coat or a dress against the paper is
