Danger in the Household.

Some fashionable socks and stockings
often contain poisonous colorlng matter,
and cause eruptions of the feet Some
California miners died from the effects
Of wearing boots lined with bright green
flannel, the color in this case being
"Scheele's green" q well-known ar
senical compound. A tradesman suf-
fered from wearing bright maroon
flannel shirt. Paper collars glazed and
stiffened with sized white lead, and con-
tanning arsenic, have produced serious
illness and the same results have fol-
lowedlthe wearing of hats lined with ma
terial containing arsenic, and from
gloves and coat-sleeves similarly treated.
Five or six persons in a household were
rendered suddenly i'll by the matter ex-
hailed from chintz window cur
tains and bed drapery, and green
senical particles. Green gas-shades
in composing-room of a printing office
have produced illness among the CON-
positors. In the kitchen, arsenic has
now and then been met with when used
to impart q green hue to dishes, such
as blanc mango. In one case a gentle
man was poisoned by partaking Of a dish
innocently enough colored by arsenic
preparations which had been mistaken
by the cook for an extract of spinach.
And, even in the exercise of the perfum-
er's art, it behooves us to be on our
guard against using preparations for the
hair colored green by some compound
of this substance. Arsenic also enters
into the coloring Of certain kinds of wall
paper, and, as it readily becomes vola-
tile, We are constantly in danger from
its effects.

ENGLISH WHEAT MARKET.

LONDON, Aug. 3O.-Tho Mark Lane Erp,ess
says: Three weeks Of fine weather has proved
of the utmost value to all grain crops and
greatly forwarded harvest operations. The ab-
sence of bright sunshine, however, has made
this work rather slow in all the later districts,
whilst in the southern and southeastern dis
tricts the bulk of it has been completed Com
plants continue of mildew in wheat. Some
early threshings are not very satisfactory. A
quantity of new English wheat has already
been marketed in London and the country,
and samples show much better quality than last
seasons. Prices ranged from Al shillnes to
As shillinRs for white, AZ shilliugs to As shill-
ings for red. The demand for foreign, although
slightly improved by lighter shipments cabletl
from America, has been mostly inactive and
Mondays decline has not been recovered. 1t
would be unwise to predict that price. have

preaching when imports are at the heaviest, bnt

Travelling in Arabia.

Camels and dromedaries are amazingly
adapted for traversing the dry and
parched deserts of Arabia for they are
so formed that they can throw up the
liquid from their stomachs into their
throats, by which means they can travel
six or eight days without water. The
camels usually carry 800 pounds weight
upon their backs, which Is not taken off
during the whole of the journey; for
they naturally kneel down to rest, and
in due time rise with the load. The
dromedary is small camel, with two
punches on its back, and remarkably
swift. It is an observation among the
Arabs that wherever there are trees tho
water is not far of; and, when they draw
near pool, their camels will smell at q
great distance, and set up their fast trot
until they come to it.

In One Lifetime.

Some one has recently written: Lam

1 am contemporary with the railroad, the
telegraph, the steamship, the photo
graph, the sewing machine, the steam
plow, the triction-match, gaslight, chic
the caloric engine, the California gold
discoveries, the oil-well discoveries,

light, the telephone, etc. These are
some Of the footprints of material prog
ress OF the present generation. Do you
think the moral world will remain the
same as before? That society will re-
main unaffected by these changes? #
you do, let me call your attention to
the fact that tho same generation has
seen the abolition of slavery on a grand
scale, the opening of China and

ter G. J. Bronston, for the State, replied to

he court, 70 such testimony as that has been
introduced in court. I denounce the state
ment as untrue" Bronson, turning to the
senator said, earnestly and emphatically that
there was such Defense and that his statement
was true. The buzz Of voices became louder
and women's faces began to pale. Again the
senator said it was untrue, and again the at
torney asseverated the trnthfulness OF his
statements. A third time the senator said, II
say that it is not true" Then Bronson said in
reply, II say It is true" man named j. T.
Newell, who was sitting on the lower step Of
the Judges stand, friend OF the prisoner,
said nothing Of the kind had been offered In
testimony. At the same time some person ia
the audience came to the bar and shouted it

that came womsn's scream, and then ens,,ed
scene Of confusion and riotous disorder al
most impossible to portray While this was
going on struggle took place inside the bar,
near the jurors. A brother Of the prisoner
had run up to Mr.. Bronson, prosecuting at

now" Before he could fire the pistol. not
having been cooked when presented, some BY

zle aside. Mr.. Bronson backed to the judges
stand and cried, "aive me pistol, give me a
pistol, somebody! Don't you see that man is
trying to shoot me% The rufian was soon
disarmed, and quiet restored. He was subse.
