Peril in n Pill-B0x.
To the Editor of the Cincinnati inquirer:

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Inquirer.
Ii is really terrible to find out almost
every day some new danger to which
we are exposed. If there is one thing
which people have hitherto contided in
it is IL pill-hox; no one has been afraid
to carry it in his pocket. Ihave no de
sire to create a pauic among my friends
who have thei, portable pill-boxes, but
for their benefit | wish to inform them
what recently hotel lady in England
with whom | have been many years ac-
quainted. A physician had prescribed
for her twentytour pills, each contain
ing two grains Of the oxide Of silver, n
twenty-fourlh of IL grain of murate of
morphia, and sutiiciency of extract of
gentian, the pills being coated with sill
yer In the usual manner, The pills
were delivered to the lady in an ordin-
airy pill-box, but, being in her nursery
and having no pocket i'll her dress, size
placed the box in her bosom, most prob
ably next the skin. The unfortunate
lady did not suspect the deadly peril
which awaited her. In less than an
hour severe explosion occurred, her
underclothes were reduced to IL finder,
and in few days she died, after suffer-
ing the most cxcruciating agony.
1t ought to be known that oxide of
silver, being reduced by contact with
vegetable extracts, is in the habit of ex-
ploding. 1t is really as well that peo-
pie should be made aware of the dan
ger they run, in order that they may
have iron rooms built for their pill
boxes. 1t would be interesting to sci
entiiic students to know if pills of tins
nature are liable to explode after they
are swallowed. am not able to give
any information on this point, but |
can state that explosions have frequent
~ occurred in compromising pills made
with the extract of colocynth, the oxide
Of silver, and creosote, or oil of cloves.
In fact, there are some pills which are
nothing more or less than internal ma
chimes, and people with volcanic tenn
peraments and undermined eonstitu.
tons, for whom they are prescribed,
should be careful to take them in Sc
cluded spots, where no one but them
selves can be injured in the event of
the explosion.

A Singular Cat Story.


A queer cat story comes FROM Pres
ton. A farmer mad been troubled with
rats for some time, and finally pur-
chased cat that was recommended as
IL good mouser. The cat sustained its
reputation, and the rats were soon an
unknown quantity in the house, and the
farmer congratulated himself greatly.
His dreams of freedom from rats were
dspelled one day, however, by the cries
Of the servant girl who stated that on
going down cellar where the cat was
lndulging in its MONDAY repast, she
saw large rat eating at the same dish
with the cat, and solemnly averred
that when she went toward them the
rat chased her, and made her run up
stairs. The cat, she said, seemed TO en-
Joy the company of his ratship, and APP
peared as if charmed by the rat, the
same as a snake charms bird. The
girl who was snperstitious, declared
the rat was possessed Of a devil The
farmer would not credit the story until
he saw the same thing day or two
afterward. He allowed the strange
friendship TO exist for several DAYS.
the rat coming regularly to partske OF
meals with the cat. Finally the farm
er decided to put an end to the singular
friendship which existed, and taking a
gun went for the rat, but his attempts
to shoot proved futile, he having missed
the rat. No sooner had he fired at, and
missed it, than the eat jumped upon
the rat and killed it. Now the farmer
wants TO know why the cat didn't kill
the rat before.
