Poisonous Paper Collars.
London Lancet.

1t Is. doubtless, in the first instance,
as the cause of a local skin disease, that
paper collars prepared with arsenic in
some form are deleterious; but when
once the cuticule has been removed
taxic effects may become general, be-
cause absorption is then very likely to
take place, and the whole system may
be poisoned. We make no specific al
legation on the subject of these collars
but the information which has reached
us, and is still being volunteered, is of a
nature to render it indispensable to eau
ton the public. No one desires, and
nothing we have said or may say on the
subject should be held, to reflect on the
sellers of articles of dress obtained from
the manufacturers, and distributed, with
out the retail tradesman being aware
OF their pernicious properties. Mean
while it is incumbent on all who manu-
facture goods for general use to take
care that nothing calculated TO injure
the health of wearer is contained in
them. 1t is impossible that arsenious
acid can be used unwittingly. It's mat
terof fact, we believe, that white paper
is often prepared with poison, and if 1t
is brought into contac. with any absorb
tive surface, evil consequen ces may en-
sue. 1t is certainly time that the pro-
cess of manufacture should be placed
under official inspection, if, for the sake
Of cheapness,o or to given artificial lustre
to their goods, makers will use danger

everything but their own commercial

possible, the fulfilment of his own proph-
| ecy, he banished the inventor and tor
babe the manufacture, but this early
attempt to MI the liquor traffic in the
bud failed; the secret of the manufact-
ure was preserved, and the Chinese are
still in the enjoyment of their venerable
rice beer. The rulers Of the Celestial
Empire would seem to have had more
success in the suppression of wine
drinking, several Emperors having gone
TO the root Of the matter by ordering
the extirpation of the vines. The strong
drink of the Japanese, known as sack,,
is also prepared from rice, and so IS the
bTOnl OF the Javanese, which Is not con-
sidered ripe until it has been buried in
an earthen vessel for several months
in the ground. The numerous tribes of
Central Africa prepare malt liquors
from maize and millet, while the KAN
schatkans have succeeded in extracting
spirit from one of their native grasses.
Among the agricultural races, cereals
were not the only materials from which
alcoholic liquors were prepared; the
fruits OF various trees were pressed into
the service. Thus, in vine-growing coun-
tries, "dull drafts Of barley wine' gave
place, at least among the wellto-do
classes, to the more generous juice of
the grape, while palm wine or tttri, from
which our word toddy is said to be de-
rived, became the favorite liauor
wherever the palm-tree tlourished In
countries too cold for vine culture, but
where honey abounded, the latter seems
to have been preferred to cereals for
fermenting purposes. Mead, the liquor
thus produced, was the favorite drink
OF our ADglo-Saxon forefathers, and OF
the people of northern Europe general
ly, and 1t is still much used III Russia.
1t is possibly owing to the abundance of
honey in South Africa, that the drink
reappears among the Hottentots, the
katira and the natives of Madagascar.
Honey is not. however, the only animal
substance from which termented bev-
erage is obtained. Among the purely
pastoral races, whose wealth consists
wholly Of their flocks and herds, milk
has been turned to account for this pur-
pose. The Mongols and the 1artars
have from time immemorial prepared
an alcoholic drink known rs koumiss,
from mares milk. This is placed in
bo:,!e-necked vessels made of skins, and
sour milk of the COW is added rs a fer
ment. AS fermentation sets in the con-
tents of the skins are violently stirred,
and in few days the liquor is ready.
Koumiss has long enjoyed the reputa-
ton Of being a remedy for consump-
ton, the tribes using it being, it is said,
remarkably free from pulmonary dis
eases, and, with view to its applica-
ton incidentally for this purpose, the
manufacture OF the Scythian beverage
has recently been started in England.

Trembling Lake.

A letter from Trembling Lake. in
the province of Quebec, Can, says:
The ground around Trembling Lake
does most certainly tremole and viorate
at intervals, and We have been endeav-
oring to ascertain the cause. think ii
is partly due to underground currents
of water from some reservoir lake, IN
the mountains, and partly to the dis
charge OF the lake in thirty-feet fall at
the outlet. In camping here distinct
tremor is pereeptible when lying with
the ear TO the ground every night, but
this is more perceptible when the wind
is from the southwest, or in the direc-
ton OF the fall. The mountain sum-
NIT stands LIS feet above the level of

Narrow Escape at the Falls.
Niagara Falls Gazette, July Is.


A gentleman, accompanied by his
wife, arrived at this place last night on
the midnight Erie train from the east.
They were on their way from New Lon
don, Conn, to their home in the state
of Minnesota, and deviated little from
their direct route in order to visit the
great falls. Arriving so late. they con-
Guided that they would not 60 to q
hotel and waited in the Erie depot
until after o'clock, when they started
down town to see the sights. They
strayed first down to the bank of the
river Just below Winners mill. Here
the gentleman attempted to battle his
face, when he suddenly became dizzy
and fell helplessly into the boiling
rapids. The screams of the stranger
! wife attracted the attention of William
Oman, who was watering his horses
near by. Oman tied his horses to a tree
and rushed after the woman, who was
running toward the Cataract house.
Oman says he could just distinguish
the form of man in the rapids, and he
told the terrible woman that it was of
no use to attempt his rescue, that he
would certainly go over the falls. The
woman ran through the gate leading to
the little park between the Cataract
house and the old River hotel, and hur-
ried down the bank to the raceway
below Dnan followed moment later,
and his establishment can hardly be
imagined when he saw the dripping
stranger sitting on the steps III the
embrace of his weeping wife. After
! falling into the water the gentleman
said that he hardly realized where he
was for moment. He could not
swim, but he struggled as best he could
to reach the shore. This, of course,
was an utter mpossibility to accomplish,
bot, as good luck would have 1t, the
drowning man was hurled against the
bulk-head Of the pier inclosing the
raceway back OF the Cataract house,
and was carried into the quiet water,
where he managed to secure a hold ON
the masonry, and climbed out upon
terra tirma. The mans escape from
death was little less than miraculous.
He hardly realized al first the magni-
tudc OF the danger he had escaped. He
had not seen the falls, and he question
ed Mr.. Oman as to whether he would
| lave been killed to certainty if he had
! been carried over the cataract.

Poor Girls.

Unlike many foolish Christians the
Jews teach their children, girls as well

may earn living. An exchange IN,

The WalwOrlhs. Mother and Son.

Frank Walworth, the youth who, in
order to protect his mothers life, slew
his father, is here at the old Walworth
home in Broadway. He has not sim
gle feature or trait of character that
would indicate that he ~ a parricide.
His health is poor, but he is reading
law. He is tall, fair and manly in his
bearing; but he has an expressibly sad.
preoccupied expression. He is, of
course, isolated from society. On his
exit from prison his former friends cut
him, and his proud spirit felt 1t keenly.
His mother has been very busy with
her literary work on art and science.
She has been very successful on her lee
turing tour. She has the respect and
sympathy Of the entire community
here all Of whom are acquainted with
the terrible trials she had to endure at
the hands of an erratic husband, and
her struggles to care for her five child
rem previous to and since his awful
death. She is beautiful woman, on
the brink of fifty but, despite her sor-
rows, she looks ten years younger. 1t
is presumed that the old homestead
will be sold, and she will with this I'M
happy son, sail for the old world and
Join her children now there, hoping TO
find anchor in some spot where her
