POISONOUS WALL PAPER.

Effects OF the Use OF Arsenical Colors In
.xt-Ai Paper Hangings.
The question Of the poisonous effects
produced by the use Of arsenic In wall
paper has come before the public OF
late frequently. During the past week
investigation by the Health Board has
proved that arsenic Is used in the man.
ufacture Of wall paper in large enough
quantities to produce disease.
The Medical Record Of recent date,
commenting on the use Of arsenic, says:
"From inquiry we have made there can
be no doubt that, with one exception,
all grades of colored wall papers manu-
factured in the United States contain
more or less arsenic. This practice Of
Introducing poisonous substance into
a covering for walls is the more repre-
hensible from the fact Of its being to-
tally unnecessary. One firm in London,
England, and one in New York produce
wall papers having the most varied and
brilliant coloring, which have not even
a trace Of arsenic in their composition.
and there appears to be no reason for
other manufacturers using poisonous
colors, except that by doing so thoy
make higher profit on their manu-
features. Arsenical colors are strong,
and about half the price Of non-arseni-
cal colors, and herein lies the secret Of
their persistent use by wallpaper man
ufacturers; and it appears TO us that
the action Of the Legislature is called
for TO put a stop 10 the practice. The
public appear under the impression that
arsenical poisoning from wall papers Is
due to portions Of arsenic in powder
being busted of the walls. Such Is not
the case; the chief danger lies in the
fact that in damp weather the arsenic
undergoes decomposition, and forms,
in combination with other substances
present, arseniuretted hydrogen, which
diffuses In the room, and, being dead
ly poison, causes sickness TO the IN
mates. This form OF arsenical poison
ing Is more TO be dreaded than that
from the particles removed by attri-
ton; the latter, however, being also a
source Of danger 10 health"
Chemistry affords ready test as to
the presence OF arsenic. Place the
suspected green material in Q solution
OF ammonia (dqud dmmonio). The
chemical substance that produces the
green tint Is arsenite Of copper, and the
liquid will acquire blue tint from the
disengagement Of >tbe oxide Of copper
from It's combination with the arsenic.
II further test be desired, few drops
of the oolored ammoniacal solution
poured upon crystals Of nitrate Of silver
will leave on the crystals deposit Of
yellow arsenite OF silver This Is .
simple test, that can be applied to any
material suspected oflcontaining -

You hold me shrined apart from common
things,
And that my step, my voice, can bring to you
A gladness that no other presence brings.
And yet, dear love, through all the weary

You never speak one word OF tenderness.
Nor stroke my hair, nor softly clasp my hand
Within your own, in loving, mute caress.
You think. perhaps, should be all content
To know so well the sacred place hold

How much long to hear the story told.
You can not know, when we two sit alone,
And tranquil thoughts within your mind
My heart is crying like tired child
For one fond look, one gentle, loving word
1t may be, when your eyes look into mime,

How radiant this plain old world would bel

found piece Of bread and a cold pota-
to by The kitchen door.
Benny was too hungry to be very
particular, but he couldn't help think
inc of the nice bread and milk Mrs.
Grey gave him.
The snow was beginning to fly and it
was growing so cold Benny thought
that he must find place to sleep, early.
How cold he was, how tired he was ano
how hungry he was. He wondered how
much farther he would have to 60 to
reach "down South"
The barn at which he stopped that
night was old and dilapidated. The
snow sifted through wide crevices over
the hay NOV. &.
DR.. Grey's horses were very gentle.
and he had often gone up In the stall
beside them and laid down. 1t would
have been much warmer than on the
NOW that night, but those were strange
horses and one Of them kicked at him
that night as he passed through the
stable, so Benny dared not attempt to
get very near.
He came down from the NOW all
covered with snow the next morning
A pail of milk was standing on the barn
floor, where the farmer had left it for =
few minutes while he gave the cattle
some fodder.
Benny stole drink, and hurried
away. ~
He was much discouraged; he was so
hungry, he was just starving, he
thonght; he had frozen one ear the night
before and he didn't seem to get down
South," where 1t was "always warm;'
il had grown colder ever since he started
from the doctors.
The result Of his meditations you will
see when I tell you that just one week
from the time he ran away he was seen
TO walk up the gravel path leading to
DR.. Grey's sitting-room door.
He was ashamed to 60 in. What
would Charlie say; he looked worse
than he ever did beforep
He sat on the step for a minute or
two and then began to cry piteously.
The doctor himself opened the door.
"Oh! hor' was all he said as Benny
walked past him into the house. Charlie
jumped up from the hearth.rug. and
hugged him, calling: "Why, Benny,
where have you beenP / thought l had
lost you" and then hugged him again.
His mother came running TO meet him
and commenced purring loudly, and
walked up to DIR. Grey, who stopped
and patted her, then she sat down by
the stove and called Benny and began
to wash his face, just as she did week
before, and Benny submitted without
any fuss this time. Soon Mrs. Grey
came in. She petted him and then
brought him . saucer Of milk. Oh!
how good it tasted, and he was SO glad
70 get back There wasn't happier
kitten in the world than Benny that
day.-Ioledo Blade.

JULIETTE.
A Misehisyous Colt which Could Do Many
Remarkable Things.

Remarkable Things.
Did you ever own nice horse, who
was full of fun and mischief, and whose
eye seemed to have laugh in itP Let
me tell you about such q one. She was
as black as jet; she had white star in
her face, and white stocking on her
left hind foot. She was round and
plump, and very quick in her motions.
She could trot, rack, pace and run, and
under the saddle was a charmer. Her
name vas Juliette. As colt she took
the lead In mischief.
She could unite a bow-knot, even
when the end of the strap was put
through the bough and drawn up
tightly. But she was not so foolish as
to do this when there was no occasion.
But omit feeding her when the other
horses were fed, and then step out oi
the barn for few moments; suddenly
return, and she would be found united,
and in stall with another horse, help.
ing herself to his grain. She had three
associates, whom she led into mischief
in the night. She would open the barn
door, which was fastened with a hook
and staple; open the barn-yard gate by
drawing out the pin that held It. She
would LET down the bars with her teeth,
and lead her three trusting companions
into the grain field. There they would
be found in toe morning. while she had
returned to the barn before the boys
were up She had such an innocent
look when she had been on these excur.
sions that 1t would call forth ones ad.
miration. When rode her to bring
back the colts she seemed to know what
we were after She would 60 quite di.
rect to where those wicked colts could
be found, and we would chase them
home in a hurry. ......
One night a mysterious noise was
heard Mt the barn. Horse.thicves were
not unknown, and, as we had the best
horses in the neighborhood, great
anxiety was felt. Father drew himself
softly out Of his warm bed. Revolver
in hand, he went carefully and quietly
out OF the house, followed by courage.

You can imagine his astonishment
when, instead of finding horse-thieves,
he found Juliette, standing with the
raised pump-handle in her mouth trying
to pump water; while the three colts,
with unbounded confidence in her abil-
ity, stood at the trough watching her
with expectant eyes. Our Little 0rss.

outpost for very shame. He could not
bring himself to report his adventures
to anybody in command = wounded
vanity will know why, out of sympathy
- and the mischief was done now,
whatever it might be. So he must even
make the best, orrather least worst, of
the hour, after his own manner, and
trust to the rising OF luck with the sun.
He led his stumbling horse some little
way up the water-course, covered him
over with his own cloak, and left him,
loosely tethered, to crop and lie down.
With his saddle for a pillow, he next
laid himself down for good sleep, such
as he needed in every limb, and which
had never yet failed to come. Tonight,
however, weary as he was, it would not
come. II may be that he was over
weary; and then the strangeness of the
situation oppressed him, and, do what
he would, his adventure worried him.
And then he could not help thinking of
home, as worried man will. 1t was
queer to think that the same stars were
looking down upon him, out there in
Spain, and on the quiet farmhouse in
quiet England where his father and Pa
tience lay sleeping. He could see every
brick in the house, well-nigh every
straw in the yard. Well, it was no use.
There the house would stand, while he
must 90 rolling on. .,..
So the hours Of darkness passed. No
doubt he had slept a little, though he
would have sworn he had not been able
to close his eyes. After all, he thought,
as the darkness changed into cold
gray, and clear thin light stole over
the hills, the best thing he could dc
would be to make for the Spanish lines.
He did not care to make for the British,
where he might tumble into his old reg
iment-an adventure which might give
trouble II would be no great achieve
ment in lying to say that he had lost his
way. He would probably nave TO trans
fer his allegiance from Portugal tC
Spain, but that would be no matter at all.
So he arose and looked around. He
was still close by the right bank of the
Alperche. But, well within sight, he
could see where it joined broader
stream; and where stood a town, witt
walls and towers, all white and fair. il
was thither he mu : ride.
He saddled his b horse and rode little
way up the water-ceurse, for he did moi
care TO fall In with his comrades of last
night & second time. Then he put him
self at the rather steep bank that took
him once more into the open, where he
could see and be seen, meaning to fol.
low the river to the town, taking his
chance OF what might befall him by the
way. But no sooner had he come into
sight than he iodS seen.
But not by his last nights comrades.
In that gray dawn, as far as his eye
could reach, the bank of the river was
alive with men, marching swiftly, and
as silently as hundreds may. He needed
not to look twice-the rawest recruit
would have known what had happened
and what to do. The French were
crossing the river. He fired his car
bine to warn the outpost, and galloped
back as hard as he could go.
The first shot of Talavera de la Reyna
had been fired from Dick Blackthorn' {

FABLE THE FIFTH.
SOMETIMES LooKERs-oN SEE LEAST OF THE
GAME.

This is no history; though there was
many household, besides the Black
thorns of Legs Croft, whom that shot
and what followed it concerned. Those
who can not care for lesser fortunes care
all the more, II is to be hoped, for the
greater fortune of England; and these
will remember that England was hard
beset on that twenty-seyenth Of July.
To the north, Fastening upon General
Wellesley's left flank, were two armies,
under Mortier, from Valladolid, and
Ney, from Astorga. Soult, from Sala-
manca, was rapidly advancing on
Placencia, to take them on the rear
fifty thousand men in all. And in front,
betwixt Talavera and Madrid, under
Victor and Sebastian, were fifty thou
sand more. A hundred thousand
French, under five great and famous
commanders, against some twenty
thousand British, hampered and weak
ened by about as many Spanish allies.
And these twenty thousand were half
starved besides.
But these things. and the falling back
upon the defensible ground Of Talavera,
with It's rivers and its neighboring
height, were matters Of high general
ship. They had no concern beyond
that Of mere life, death and duty, with
one who who was known, in his Degi-
ment Of the line, as Sergeant Black
thorn; to himself as Stephen Harlow.
For TO that rank he had risen, or, as he
would have put 1t, had fallen.
Men had gone mad for less cause.
He was ambitious; and while still
young had become man Of mark in a
great town, and had reached q place
whence he could already sea vista Of
further rise and honor reaching before
him without end. He was proud; and
had achieved the better part Of fortune
with his own hand and his own brain.
He believed in peace and progress, de-
testing war and all other barbarism
with all his soul; and nothing was more
congenial TO him than the life he was
making. He was in love, as man can
love only once for all; and he had
bought his sweetheart her wedding
ring. He was grateful; and the debt
he owed his friend and patron was be-
ing moro than repaid. Never on NOR
tai head had the sun Of life shone more
unclouded and full Glad in his life, In

A. careful estimate based on the best
information obtainable places the
number Of people who settled on the
farming lands in Dakota in July at
5000. It is still aquestion whether
the Democratic congress will consent
to admit this magnificent territory to
statehood. With the promptest OF
favorable action on the part of all the
authorities Dakota will contain about
100000 people before she can possess
the benefits Of statehood. In popula.
ton, value Of products, intelligence OF
her people, wealth and general pros
perity she is far ahead of many of the
old states; but she is Republican and we
have Democratic congress.
