A NEW AND DANGEROUS ADULrERAr1oN

The Journal Of Chemistry says: Atten-
ton has recently been called to a new risk
of chronic poisoning by the old enemy,
lead What we call tin vessels are in daily
use in every household IN the land. They
are cheap, durable and convenient, and
have been considered perfectly safe for the
thousand ordinary purposes to which they
are devoted. They are safe if the tin plate
is honestly made But, unfortunately, this
is not always to be counted upon. Tin is
comparatively cheap, but lead is cheaper,
and an alloy of the two metals may be
used in place of the dearer one, with profit
to the manufacturer. The alloy is readily
acted upon by acids, and salts of
lead are thus introduced into food.
The Michigan State Board of Health has
lataly been investigating this subject hav-
ing been led to do so by a letter from a
physician, who found that certain cases of
what had been taken for chorea were really
paralysis agtans, which could be traced to
this kind of lead poison. Other cases were
brought to light in which children had died
OF meningitis, fits and paralytic affections
caused by milk kept in such vessels, the
acid in the fluid having dissolved the
lead. Malic, citric and other fruit acids
are, of course, quicker and more energetic
in their action on the pernicious alloy.
The danger is the greater because the
lead salts are cumulative poisons. The
effect of one or two small doses may
not be perceptible, but infinitesimal
doses, continually repeated, will in the
end prove injurious, ii not fatal Analysis
of large number of specimens of the tin
plate used in culinary articles showed the
presence of an alloy with lead in almost
every instance, and often in large quanti-
ties. 1t is safe to assert that a large pro-
portion of the tin wares in the market are
unfit for use on this account. This cheap
tin has opened field of speculation to the
packers of canned fruits, meats and yegeta-
bles, which, if taken advantage of, must
necessarily result most disastrously to pub
lie health Too much caution cannot be
exercised in purchasing canned goods to see
that an attractive label does not cover a
dangerous lead covered can.

DUNDREARY.

Lord Dundreary is gone. There will be
actors who will represent him, and initiate
his tones and his looks and his movements,
there will be laughter and applause, but
Lord Dundreary is gone. How many
thousands of friends he had who cannot
recall him without smile, who remember
the evenings that he cheered, the vapors
that he conjured away, the irresistible
drollery of his aspect, the subtle satire of
his whole impression 1t was the same
everywhere We have seen him in a
wretched playhouse in a small city,
crowded and overlooking, and we laughed
all the evening long. There was no respite.
1t was continuous hysteric. The stage
was small, the scenery ludicrous, every
thing at skies and sevens, and his lordship
took it all in and used it. 1t was only fuel
to his fire. We all agreed, in the faint
ness of universal and prolonged laughter,
that there was never anything so laugha-
BILE. The roaring old farces, " Raising the
Wind" and others, good as they are and
were (does the kind reader, does Mr..
Congdon, remember Browne as Jeremy
Diddler at the old National p, seemed in
the comparison of the moment a little
inadequate. For how could a cup be fuller
than full How could we possibly do
more than laugh every moment? Suisse
quently it appeared that none of us re.
called any play, we only remembered
Lord Dundreary. He filed the scene. If
he had said nothing, If he had done moth
ing, it would have been the same We
should have sat shaking and aching, and
while we giggled and snickered we should
have wondered how anybody could posi-
bly, be so foolish. The jokes seem little
fat as they are recalled. Man made to
walk upright and to strike his head against
the stars may be little ashamed to have
found an extravaganza SO irresisibly comic,
but could Lord Dundreary come again, the
hatness of the jokes would vanish, and the
star-striking head would culver with glee,
as the heart now beats with grateful pleas
ure and with sorrowful regret - Harper's.

DIVORCE IN NEW ENGLAND.

The organization of the New England
Divorce Reform League in this city, with
membership including distinguished citi.
indicates more energetic warfare upon
growing evil of our social system than
has yet been waged. 1t is very evident
that some influence must be exerted, either
moral or legal, If the sanctity of the family
relation, on which our society is based,
is to be maintained. For the increase in
the frequency of divorce has been so rapid
as to attract the attention of the most care.
less observer. Mr.. Dixie, in his Monday
lecture, presented some very striking and
interesting statistics on this subject. In
Vermont in 1860 there were "a divorces.
In the same State in 1878 there were l67.
In New Hampshire the rate had increased
from l59 in 1870 TO 240 in 1875. In Mas
sachusetts the number had increased from
449 in 1870 to GOO in 1878. In Massachu.
sets in 1878 there was one divorce for
every 2l.S marriages, as against one di-
vorce to every Al marriages in 1850. In
1878 2,072 divorces were granted in New
England of which 437 were in Name, 24l
in New Hampshire, 1877 in Vermont, 600
III DlGSSdCHuSctlS, tV1 III SOuISCSiCut, anu
1876 In Rhode Island.
The population of Massachusetts, being
larger than that of any other New England
State, the relative proportion OF divorces is
not so great with us. On the basis OF pop.
ulation by the present census there was one
divorce to every $40 inhabitants in Maine /;
one to every l, 443 in New Hampshire one
to every l,6S7 in Vermont one to every
., 973 in Massachusetts, one to every 1853
in Connecticut, and one to every l, All in
Rhode Island. But the Catholic marriages
are, in four States, p per cent. of the
whole. Assuming what is very nearly
true, that there are no divorces among
these, the ratio of divorces to marriages
among the Protestants is one to IL. 7 for
the four States together it being l to 10
in Massachusetts,, l to Is in Vermont, l to
8 in Rhode Island, and in less than S in
Connecticut. 1t is, however, the increase
which gives cause for alarm, and if the Di-
vorce Reform Association can devise means
to check this great berefi will be con-
ferred upon society. And it may here be
stated that not alone in revision of the
laws of divorce can remedy be found, but
in such an education of the youth as shall
lead to greater deliberation and consider
alton in the matter of marriages. - Boston

PEOPLE WHO FORGET Trey HAVE
MONEY.

One would hardly believe that there
are m1ny people who forget that they have
money OF that there is money or interest
due them, and yet it is fact. There lies
In the Treasury Department to-day ST.
400 900 of unclaimed interest On Govern
ment bonds The sum is getting larger
every day. This seems strange, but it is
true. This vast sum of money, or much
of it, can be drawn by simply applying for
1t by whoever is entitled to It and has the
registered bond on which the interest is
due and not paid. There are thousands of
persons who have bought bonds, and not
knowing how TO get the interest on them,
prefer to lose the same rather than to ex.
pose the fact that they have the bonds.
Others have interest due them, and actually
forget the fact, and it lies IN the treasury
vaults waiting for them to apply for it.
Should one OF the clerks Of the bond di-
vision inform a person to whom interest Is
due Of the fact, aud the same be discOv-
cred, he would be instantly discharged.
Our Government is like that of other c0un-
tries. dishonest IN matters of this kind,
and is always willing to keep that which
belongs TO others if it is not called for.
Should one OF It's clerks be honest enough
to give cut hint he is discharged on the
ground that it is not probable he would be
engaged "a volunteering information unless
he recc d a certain percentage for his
service and this he has no right to do.
The Ge Enment takes the ground that
the per- to whom the interest is due
should net be required to pay for the in
formation st the same time the same
Government VIII not itself volunteer the
information.

Herbert Montraverse was a handsome
but profigate young man on whom dissi-
patton had set its hideous seal. His deep
black eyes could beam with melting ten
dern ess when looking INTO those of a trust
ing maiden or glitter with the cold, cruel
glare of tiger as it watches its prey. He
had seen Beatrice as she emerged from the
hotel one evening, leaning on her husband S
arm, and fallen violently in love with her
Sangamon county grace. He had his
moustache freshly dyed, andEfrom that mo-
ment was changed man. The next night
he again watched at the hotel entrance,
and threw the CLEAN of his breastpin in
her off eye as she scored down from the
ladies parlor. She shrank back instinct
lively, and broke the check hook of her
back hair. Then she saw Herbert, and
blushed slightly. Rupert did not notice
this, but engaged in falling over trunk
which the porter had apparently left there
for that purpose.
Herb looks ike he might be first
choice there, said one of his companions,
who was standing near By. i must get
a pool or two on him.
The next afternoon Beatrice went out
alone. She had logged perhaps half a mile
and was getting well into her stride, when
she perceived a figure near by. Looking
behind she saw Herbert about two lengths
in the rear and going steadily. By the
time she reached the three-quarter pole he
was on her wheel. She carried him out
pretty well at the next corner, but he was
soon head andhead with her, and under
strong pull just then Beatrice hit her
near ankle and went to break, In her
confusion she murmured something about
having left her scalping boots at home,
This remark opened the way for a conver.
sation, and before they returned to the
hotel Herbert had told his love. But let
us summarize:

CHEESE MADE FROM PoTAToEs. "A for
eign paper says that cheese is made from po-
tatoes in Tnuringia and Saxony. After
having collected a quantity of potatoes Of
good quality, giving the preference to large
white kiud, they are boiled in caldron, and
after becoming cool, they are reduced to a
pulp, either by means of crater or mortar
To five pounds of this pulp, which ought to
be as equal SIS possible, is added one pound
Of sour milk and the necessary quantity of
salt. The whole is kneaded together
and the mixture covered up and allowed
to lie for three or four days, according to
the season At the end of this time it is
kneaded anew, and the cheeses are placed ia
little baskets. when the superfinous moisture
escapes. They are then allowed to dry in the
shade, and placed in layers in large vessels,
where they must remain for fifteen days.
The older these cheeses are the more their
qnality improves, Three kinds are made.
The first and most common is made as de-
tailed above; the second, with four parts of
potatoes and two parts of curded milk; the
third with two parts of potatoes aud four
parts of COW or eve milk. These cheeses
have this advantage over other kind--they
do not engender worms and they keep fresh
for number of years, provided they are
placed in a dry situation and in well-closed
vessels.
