Arsenic in Hosiery.

Wearing colored hosiery develops
some peculiar facts" said dealer on
Broadway to a New York Neil and En-
press reporter.
"What are they 2"
"Well, it would seem cheap colored
stockings would be more liable to have
poison in their color than the higher
priced ones, but the fact is just the re-
verse. You never hear of poor people
being poisoned by wearing cheap colored
hosiery. 1t is only those who wear the
best material 1t would scarcely pay to
put arsenic in cheap article. A gentle
man bought pair of colored silk socks.
He wore them once and afterward COM
planned of an irritation and soreness in
his limbs. An investigation revealed
the fact that he had been poisoned by
the color in the fine silk socks he wore.
They contained arsenic. l took them
back, had them dyed deep black and
they did not poison the wearer after
that. Now this fact shows that the fin
est hosiery has more poison in their color
than the very cheap kind. When the
weather is warm the cheap colored ho-
siery runs and the color gets all over
the feet. At night the color is washed
off and no harmful effects are felt. When
the weather is warm fine colored hosiery
runs, but very little. However so little,
though, the effect upon the wearer is de-
leterious and frequently results in blood
poisoning.
Icannot say, though. that this is true in
every case, but many that l have known
eXemplify what | have stated. The poor
people have a wonderful immunity, it
seems, from poisoning produced in this
manner. If arsenic was used in cheap
hosiery as much as in fine, the hospitals
might be full of patients now, all suffer
ing from poisoning in the feet and
limbs. OF course it is the aim of the
manufacturers to have as little arsenic as
possible in the coloring they use, but the
faintest trace occasionally has a wonder
full effect upon some people who have
impure blood susceptible to any influ-
ence.
'Black shades of hosiery seem to.be free
/ from poisoning. OF the colors more like
| ly to contain it is red. Dark gray, light
straw, deep maroon and such shades
possess less of poisoning than the bright,
decided colors like red, blue, orarge,
green. violet and garnet. These colors
are always dyed to black if hue and
cry is made against wearing stockings
with poisons in them. Black never in.
jures and contains no arsenic.
II must say that really believe that
a small proportion of the colored hosiery
used by the general public perhaps may
have arsenic in them. The greater ma
iority do not, and there is little probab
ility that with all the means of detect
ing poisons in color any manufacture
will be rash enough to put in enough ar
senic to create panic in hosiery.

WISE WORDS

It is not what we earn, but what We
save, that makes us rich.
30 graceful il you can; but II you
can't be graceful be true.
A man needs strong, genial COM
panion, and not q shadow.
AS every thread of gold is invaluable
so is every minute of time.
Too great refinement is delicacy, and
true delicacy is solid refinement.
Do not say "It does not pay to begin
what we will probably never finish. "
The beginning may be the part assigned
10 you.
Many people take no care of their
money till they have come nearly to the
end of it, and Others do the same with
their time.
Money will make us work, but money
will not make us give our hearts to the
work-nothing but love for our work
or real good principle can make us do
that.
Death is the liberator of him whom
freedom cannot release, the physician of
him whom medicine cannot cure, and
the comforter of him whom time cannot
console.
No article of furniture should be put
into q room that will not stand sunlight,
for every room in dwelling should have
the windows so arranged that some
time during the day flood of sunlight
will force itself into the apartments.
For every life there is a summit.
Happy are they who gain it, and sad the
lot of those who faint and fall in the
struggle. Short or long to the top, it
can only be scaled by persistent climb
ing. There must be ambition to do and
dare or the prize will not be secured.
What vast deal of time and ease that
man gains who is not troubled with the
spirit of impertinent curiosity about
others; who let's his neighbours behavior
and thoughts alone; who confines his in
spection to himself, and cares chiefly for
his own duty and conscience.

Currants.

The dried fruit which bears this appel.
lation is commonly believed to have
stolen the name from the well-known
fruit growing on bush, the same from
which our currant wine is made. But,
on the contrary, the latter, as growing
in our gardens, has no original right to
the name, it was borne by the Grecian
currant or grape before the other was
known by our ancestors. The fruit
which constitutes the dried currants of
commerce is really grape-smalI, round,
sweet and thin-skinned. The grape
vine which supplies it tourishes in
Greece and the ad jacent islands, especi-
ally Zante, whence the best currants
come. Greece looks to the currant as
one of its first, if not the very best,
articles of export. And Great Britain,
more than any other country, would de.
plore a season of scarcity in Greece,
with damage to the currant crop. since
the British housekeepeTs and bakers
make great account of this dried grape
for cakes, puddings, etc What is
plum pudding but pudding with these
little raisins mixed in it? The grape
vine is singular in having so many names
for its fruit, according to its condition.
It is called grapes when fresh; raisins
when large and dried; currants when
small and dried, and plums when in
cake and pudding. Currants are named
from Corinih, the famous city on The
Grecian islhmus. This little grape
when fresh, is rarely used for the manu-
facture of wine, though sometimes it il
brought to the press, and produces ,
sweet, oily wine. philadelphia Groeers

The Physiology Of PerspIratIOn.

There are probably $500, 900 sweat
glands belonging to each human being,
the object of the existence of this per
spiratory system being to remove the ex-
cess of water and noXiOus gases and to
regulate the temperature Of the body.
Perspiration is always going on, and
under normal conditions It amounts to
about two pints a day for each person.
If this perspiration is checked in any
way grave results are apt to ensue. The
blood would rush to the lungs and cause
congestion, or to the throat, or to the
stomach, or other parts, which would
become at once affected. The first prin-
ciple of health is 10 keep the skin in good
condition, and the way to keep the skin
in good condition is to use proper food
TO bathe often in cold OF tepid water,
and dress properly. - Chicago Tribune.
