Poison in Book Covers.

Albany Press.
The use of poisonous dying to color
the covers of books is happily not a
common practice. Yet book publishers
are occasionally careless about the ma
terials used in coloring their books.
Lately in Troy child, while playing
with some water-color paints, look I'd
about for palette. and seized a small
book, attracted by the bright green
color on the cover. He mixed the
paint on the cover of the book for some
time. Then he was suddenly taken
with commissions. Physicians, who
were hastily summoned, declared that
he had been poisoned. They administered
antidotes, but the child again went into
convulsions,and it was only after three
days incessant labor that the physicians
saved his life. The child's wealthy
parents afterwards had the physicians
investigate the manner of its being
poisoned. They discovered that the
dye with which the brightly colored
book was covered contained the poison.
In wetting the paints on the book cover
the child had innocently wet the dye
also, and soon transferred some of the
poison to its lips. There was a conf
cal side to the investigation, although
1t was no consolation to the parents
the book was found to be a report of
the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children.

instant mob OF citizens visited the jail where
they were locked ny, and entered with very
little opposition from the sheriff. They secured
the three prisoners, took them to a tree, hung
them up hoping to extort confessions. But the
prisoners proclaimed their innocence, and re-
fused to confess. When nearly dead they were

prevails that, guilty or not, they are entitled to
