The exfensire nse intn y

The extensive use into which
bromide of potassium has come renders
the assertioH of Herr Maschke of great
importance. He finds that this brom-
ide, of remarkable sedative properties,
is largely contaminated with lead. The
samples he tested were only reduced to
a clear liquid after the addition of an
acid. Hydrosulphuric acid is the best
agent to use in making the test, with
the exception of sulphide of ammoni-
um, perhaps. Lead poisoning is a dire
alternative for nervousness and sleep
lessness.

ties are reckoned as equivalent to the gallon.
NOTE.-It has been estimated that ten pei
cent of the spirits and malt liquors produced
IN the country escape taxation. If this estf
mate is correct, the above amounts of product
represent only about ninety per cent. of the
actual consumption Of these articles. 1t has
also been estimated that about one third of the
spirltuous liquors consumed in the country if
used IN the arts. This fact must be noted in
any computation of the cost to the country Of
splrltuous liquors used as a beverage.

A Boys Composition.

A boy is not so skittish as GIRL
He takes a mouse, which would scare
his sister half to death, and ties a
string to its tail and swings it over his
head. Then he Is in his glory and
laughs at his sister, who is looking for
a knot hole to hide in. He wears no
lace bibs or corsets, petticoats or skirts.
A boy possesses ten times more cheek
than a girl, but if he ever does any
mischief he owns up to it with bright
smiling face. Girls are great deal of
trouble to their parents, who have to
keep them until some one falls in love
with them and marries them. Not so
with the boy-he takes care of the
horses, works in the mine and raises a
cabin. All that girls do for exercise is
to make dolls, chemises and crochet
work, while the boy, the spark Of man
kind, is putting up some job to play on
his teacher, or playing the glorious
game of base ball. Hurrah then, for
the boys. They are the standard
bearers of the world.

P0isons,

We all have great horror OF being
poisoned, without exactly understand
ing what il is. Poison is a disorgani-
cation of flesh and blood, or both. -
Poisons are Of two kinds one, the re-
the suit Of medicinal agents taken into
stomach or circulation, the other the
result Of bites or stings Of living crca-
lures. | will now state two ideas,
which, if generally known and re-
membered, would save thousands OF
lives every year. II you have swal-
lowed poison, whether hudanum,
arsenic, or any other thing poisonous,
put tablespoonful of ground mus
,ard in n glass Of Vater, cold or warm,
stir and swallow quickly, and insian-
taneously the contents of the stomach
will be thrown up, not allowing the
poisonous substance time to be alb, orb
ed and taken into the blood and. as
soon as vomiting ceases, swallow the
white Of one or two new eggs, for the
purpose of antagonizing any small por-
ton Of the poison which may have been
left behind. Let the reader remember
the principle, which is, to get the
poison ont Of you as soon as possible I;
there are other things which will have
speedy emetic effect, but the advant-
age of mustard is, it is always at hand,
it acts instantaneously, without any
after medicinal effects. The use Of the
white of an egg is that, although it
does not nullify all poisons, it antagon-
ICES larger number than any other
agent so readily attainable. But while
taking the mustard or egg, send for a
these are in order to save
time, as the difference of twenty min
utes is often death.

30 C0ntented.

A good many people spend all their
life hunting for II place in this world
that they were never intended to ILL.,
They never settle down to any thing
with any sort Of restful or contented
feeling. What they are doing now is
not by any means the work that is
suited to their abilities. They have n
sunny ideal Of n very noble life which
they would like to reach, in which their
powers would have free scope, and
where they could make a very bright
record. But in their present position
they cannot do much Of anything and
there is little use to try. Their life is
a humdrum and prosy outline, and they
can accomplish nothing really worthy
and beautiful. So they 60 on, discon-
tented with their own lot and signing
for another; and while they sigh The
years glide away, and soon they will
come to the end, to find that they have
missed every opportunity of doing any
thing worthy Of a rational being on the
passage to eternity. The truth is, ones
vocation is never some far-of impossi-
bility. 1t is always the simple round
of duties that the passing hour brings.
No day is commonplace if we only
have eyes to see its splendor. There
is no duty that comes to our hand but
brings us the possibility of kingly SER
vice.

west there will be q cold rainstorm on
the morrow if it be summer, if it be
winter it will be snowstorm. s.

and when il blows from the north
the heaviest rain is east of you; from
the south the heaviest rain is
south, from the west the heaviest rain
is north of you. 8. The wind never
blows unless rain or snow is falling
within 1000 miles Of you. 10. When
ever a heavy white frost occurs, a
storm is forming within 1000 miles
north or northwest of you.

''My Brethren" said Western
clergyman, "the preaching of the gospel
to some people is like pouring water
over 2 sponge-it soaks in and stays.
To others it is like the wind blowing
thro' chicken coop. My experience
of this congregation is that it contains
many more chicken coops than
sponges."
