A Dangerous PlaythInE.


 The toy pistol causes the death of more people than anyone not familiar with the facts would believe The public should be
 warned against it if they would save the lives of their children. A physician writing to the
 Boston Globe gives the following facts. which
 should be read carefully by every parent: The toy pistol is an innocent looking affair enough, the principle being the release of a spring by pulling the trigger, thus bringing down the hammer on a wafer charged with a powerful illuminate. The wafer is however, quite unprotected, and the process is not | entirely unlike the amusement of the children thirty years ago, who used to swell the re- ceipts of the oculists by pounding percussion caps with hammer or a fiat stone. When this illuminate explodes it's force may be l ly the thumb, forefnger and sometimes the 1 palm of the hand suffer injury. Like results, though more serious, would ensue in case of an accident with a cartridge having copper | shell. The wound thus caused is one of the | very best to serve as 8 predisposing agent to tetanus, for it is 8 lacerated and very often, as part of the wafer shell is thrown into the
 wound, punctured and poisoned wound not uncombined with burn. The wound is not l very great nor very horrible, particularly I painful, and does not attract much attention | after the momentary pain is over, and 8 wet | rag or ''kiss to make 1t well'' is about all | the treatment it receives; but later there
 comes sudden change in temperature, or
 the lad runs about, gets heated, goes in swim
 ming, or in some other way cold comes as l the exciting cause, and there comes in suc-
 cession the series of tetanic symptoms, lead l ing to fatal result. There is little stiff
 ness of the neck, slight levers, the wound
 true lockjaw, supervenes, and spasms of the l other muscles follow,

Robbing Graves.

Vandalism is not extinct, as is seen by re- cent depredations at Evergreen cemetery in the robbing of graves of floral tributes placed there by the hands of loving friends. Of late these depredations have been frequent, and the indignation of many families has been excited on visiting tue graves of loved ones and finding that the beautiful tributes they had often left upon the mounds, at the outlay of money and effort had been taken. The visitation of the cemetery at this season of the year by our citizens, and especially by ! the ladies, is very large, and seldom, If ever ! MT. Dorman, the superintendent, states, have more flowers been taken to the cemetery I than this season. The depredations commit | ted have caused special efforts on the part of | the police, and it is very probable that be 1 fore the week is out some of the guilty par
 ties will be apprehended, brought to justice ! and their cases will receive very little of the
