Poisonous Clothing.

It is not long since several cases of
arsenical poisoning were traced to the
wearing of scarlet and blue stockings.
Next came case in which the mischief
was traced to highly colored hat lining.
More recently English and German pa
pers have called attention to DANCE rous
gloves. In the London Times writer
describes the poisonous effect OF pair
of the fashionable "broDze green silk
gloves when worn by q member Of his
family. A German medical journal re-
ports case of serious poisoning by d
pair of navy-blue kids. Dress goods OF
wooden, silk and cotton have been found
to contain arsenic in dangerous guam
titles; 30 also gentleman's s underclothing,
socks, hat lining and the Innings of boots
and shoes. Professor Nichlos, of the
Massachusetts, Institude of Technology,
reports the examination OF lady's dress
which contained eight grains of arsenic
to the square foot. IN Troy,N.Y, lately,
the death of child was attributed to
arsenic sucked from a vail, which had
been thrown over the child crib to keep
off flies. CAT this rate" says the
scientsfcA american, it will soon be-
come necessary to test for arsenic all
goods purchased before venturing to
wear them ; or else the label-'warranted
to contain no poisonous dye-will have
to be adopted by all honest makers. Evi-
dently something should be done to put
stop to the rapidly increasing evil. If
the obnoxious tints cannot be secured
safely as we'll as cheaply, then they
ought to be prohibited, and another
process of dyeing made imperative. Our
young chemists will find fruitful field
for the exercise of their inventive powers
in the production Of the needed dyes.

Words of Wisdom.

Necessity never made good bargain.
Man lives only to shiver and perspire.
Mems judgments sway on that side
fortune leans.
Many are willing to wound who are
yet afraid to strike.
Misery leads to despair, aggrandize-
ment to presumption.
Give full measure, when you measure,
and weigh with a just balauce. Expend
not but according to the measure OF your
goods.
The slanderer Injuries three persons at
once he of whom he speaks i'll, him to
whom he says it, and most OF all himself
in saying it.
Imitation is always unhappy, for all
which is counterfeit displeases by the
very things which charm us when they
are original.
Great souls are not those who have
fewer passions and more virtues than
the common, but those only who have
greater designs.
The desire of talking about ourselves,
and of putting our faults in the light we
wish them to be seen, forms great part
of our sincerity.
The same pride which makes us blame
faults from which we believe ourselves
free, causes MS to despise the good quail
ties We have not.
Happiness is in the taste, and notinp
the things themselves; we are happy in
possessing what We like, not from pos
sessing what others like.
So scanty is our present allowance Of
happiness, that in many situations life
could scarcely be supported if hope were
not allowed to relieve the present hour
by pleasure borrowed from the future.

An Attempt TO Make It Rain.

Saws the american Monthly: "a
gentleman who resides near Boydton,
Va, has sspired to a new science-that
of controlling the clouds in order to
cause it to rain at will. With the view
of attaining this end he built Z" rain
tower" which, novel structure is said to
be thirty feet in diameter at the base.
which size it retains to the height OF
forty feet. To this height it contains
four fines, each seven feet in diameter.
The number of fues is then reduced to
two, which run up twenty feet higher,
the top OF the structure reaching an
altitude of sixty feet. The whole con-
Germ was erected at cost OF about
81 900. The method of causing rain to
fall is as follows: The fues ara filled
with dry pine wood, which is set on fire,
and which is kept up until the desired
effect is produced on the elements. His
theory is, that the great heat produced
in the air above the "tower" will cause
the clouds to concentrate over it, when
plenty of rain will fall in that vicinity.
The originator OF this novel idea is said
to be firm believer in the practicability
and utility of his. invention, notwith'
standing the fact that after repeated
trials, during which he consumed hun
dreds Of cords of wood, his tower faile6

propitious heavens, he having been {

entire spring and summer.

Cincinnati Breakfast Table Diet,

Most women have need to whisper

It is said that the left foot of a left.

always sends the right foot, and in most
cases it is long enough.

Russian Soldiers Returning Home.

A st. Petersburg letter, describing
the return of q regiment of Russian
soldiers from the campaign against
Turkey, says: The Russian peasant is
an undemonstrative fellow. He pos
sesses the quality of self.control in a
very high degree. Those who were
looking at the soldiers surveyed them
as calmly as if they had not been the
heroes of that winter passage of the Bal.
kans. 1t was only by tho vet eyes and
eager, strained look Of attention on the
faces that their pride in these victorious
soldiers and sorrow for those that
were not here were exhibited. AS for
the soldiers themselves, they were very
quiet but as they marched by their
ranks we're broken. aud women and
children we're mixed up with the rows
of bayonets. Here I saw an old woman
who had found her son. She was hold
ing on to his coat-sleeve and crying
very quietly. Then came young girl
who had to run to keep up with the
long-legged soldier beside her. She
was crying, too, and he was winking
hard and looking straight ahead OF him:
There were many little children, ell
eager, most of them in tears, but no
one excited nor talking. As they passed
through the gate an officer attempted TO
put these intruders out of the ranks
but the czarovitch forbade it, 80 the
mothers and sisters and wives kept their
places, and marched the three miles
with the soldiers through the mud, re-
ceiving fresh installments by the way, By
that at last there was quite a crowd OF
families. As they passed down the
street flowers began to rain upon them:
Each of the commanders was crowned
by the grand duchesses, and almost
every bayonet had wreaths or bouquets
upon it. Sobs mingled with hurrahs
which sweled forth. for many poor fel-
lows had been buried in the trench
nameless, and it was only by seeing
their places filled by others that their
families knew they had gone on their
last, long journey. It was the same al!
along the line OF march. Showers OF
cigarettes and flowers and shouts of Joy,
until the regiment disappeared.

Cannihal Caves In Sonth Africa.

We left Thaba- Bosigo early one morn
ing, writes a traveller in South Africa,
and passing along the Beria heights,
reached the deserted mission station of
Cana. Having obtained some natives
as guides, we again set off for the cannl-
bal cavern, which was about two miles
distant. Upon our arrival at the noun
tain above the cavern, We left our horses
in charge of q native, and descended
steep and rugged foot.path, or rather,
I should say, o and-endfoot path, for
the hands had quite as much to do in
traversing it as the feet; and by dint of
holding on to tufts of grass, projecting
rocks, etc., and by slipping, sliding and
scrambling, we at length arrived upon
grassy ledge, in the face of the cliff,
where we could stand without the me-
cessity of holding on. On turning to
the right of this ledge, the scene opened
out in all it's grandeur and certainly, in
all my life and wanderings, I never be.
held a more savage-looking place. The
cavern is formed by the overhanging
cliff, and it's entrance, long, rugged,
natural arch, extends along the whole
face of the cave, which is in length
about one hundred and thirty yards, and
in breadth about one hundred yards
The roof of the place, which is lofty and
arched, is blackened with the smoke and
SCOT of the fires of savages who formerly
inhabited it. Its floor, strewn with the
remains of what they had left there,
consisted of heaps of human bones piled
up together, or scattered at random in
tie cavern and thence down the sloping
face of the rock as far as the eye could
reach, the clefts and small level spots
were white with the bones and skulls Of
human beings. Skulls, especially, were
very numerous, and consisted chiefly OF
those of children and young persons.
These remains told too true tale Of the
purpose for which they had been used,
for they we're out and hacked to pieces
with what appeared to have been blunt
axes or sharpened stones the marrow
bones we're split into small pieces, the
rounded Joints alone being leftunbroken.
Only few of these bones were charred
by fire, showing that the prevailing taste
had been for boiled rather than for
roasted meat.
Their mode OF living was to
send out hunting parties, who con-
oealed themselves among the rocks and
bushes, and lay in ambush near roads,
drifts, gardens, and watering places, for
