LEAD POISONING IN DREssmAxERs.

Lead poisoning is often produced in
an unsuspected manner. The occupation
of dressmakiDg might be regarded as one
likely 10 be exempt from it, yet a dress
maker just admitted into the Leeds Dis
pensary. EpgtaUd, was found to have a
distinct blue line on her g ms. with sim
ultaueous symptoms, such as furred
tongue ind mnaiion OF the lips, and gen
eral. deb iity-all siens pointing to The
probability of poisoning by lead. TIE
physicians in attendance Tor some tine
failed to discover toe source of lead poi
soning, and was beginning to think the
blue line had been caused ia some other
way, when he accidentally learned from
merchant that silken thread, being sold
by weight, and not by length, is some
tunes adulterathd with sugar Of lead He
then questioned the patient, and size in
formed him that il had been a common
practice with her, when at work, 10 bold
silk as well as other kinds of thread IN
her mouth, and that she had done this tbe
more readily with silk, inasmuch as 1t
often had sweet taste. This is sure
indication of the presence of lead, and all
thread possessing it should either be re
iected or used with caution 1t will be
found that the silk thread OF the best
makers is tasteless, whereas some inferior
threads are sweet.-4m 91icGn Medical

Railroad Inventions,

The Aye of Steeleehoes wha! inventors
OF railroad improvements often com
plain of, and that is that railway oili-
cials do not seem to want anything new.
No matter how good an invention may
be no railway man wants to see the m
vention or t8e inventor. nor does he even
care to talk about it. The inventor may
propose to haul train Of ears from
New York to ashin2ton. not only
without expense, but to make money by
sel.iug water from the water tanks TO
people along the line. SO rs 10 make
running the trains double source OF
economy, vet the railway man consigns
the ir yentor TO the iireboy OF eternity,
and proposes to see him well on his way
In that direction. The poor inventor
feels that he does not deserve any such
treatment. complains. and wonders why
It is such hard work to deal with rail-
way men. II hH does succeed in max.
ing really valuable invention. why il
Il that he must put it on to trains HIM
self, watch it nj every step OF tae way
and do this all at bis own expense!
That il is SO. every inventor ana every
railroad man knows perfectly we'll.
II would seem as If enough wheat
might be found among the chaH 70
