no idea that such was the case. She had
been unusually cheerful during the day,
but in the evening was not feeling very
well. About o'clock she ate some ovS-
tiers, but they did not agree with her.
When, at latter hour, she was found to
be very i'll, her mother inquired whether
she had eaten or drank anything to make
her sick, and she replied that she had not,
except that she had taken :" a little of
stuff that makes me white" This led to
further inquiry, and it was ascertained that
that she had for some time, unknown to
her mother, been using a preparation of
arsenic for her complexion. Members of
the family have no knowledge Of any reason
why she should be depressed in spirits or
inclined to take her life, and believe that
heaccidentally took an overdose ofthe prep
aration referred to. A physician, who was
summoned as soon as it was believed that
she was in danger, did all that could be done
for relief, but found that he had arrived too
late to be successful. Deceased leaves a
