that season. As she devoted herself to her
aged mother, she was unable to leave Hol-
land Patent to pursue her work continuous
ly until after her mothers death In the
summer of 1882.
After this sad event her brothers and sis

POISON IN CANNED GOODS.

Chloride of Zinc, Freely Used by Gamers,
80 as Deadly as Arsenic.
So many cases of poisoning have
taken place by reason of the use OF
canned goods that VIC. seeking for a
definite cause, find it arises from chlor-
ide of zinc. This is a poison almost as
deadly as arsenic, and has place in
the closing Of cans once occupied by
arsenic. Its adoption grew out of the
ease with which it can be used, skilled
labor not being required for its applica-
tion,, and besides, though not cheaper in
itself, it could be applied to a cheaper
quality of tin plate, of which the cans
were. then made. 1t was not until it
was used for this purpose that cases of
poisoning from the use of canned fruits
and vegetables were known, although
its effects as poison in foreign coun-
tries. particularly in Germany, England
and France, were subject of medical
and chemical investigation long ago. A
child was fatally poisoned by It in Lon
don, and was unsuccessfully treated by
the faculty of the medical school of
London hospital, and the general symp-
toms Of its malady were similar TO those
attending all the cases of poisoning by
reason OF the use of canned goods. The
canner uses the dangerous material
freely, applying il with large brush.

minnie, and by the very reason Of the
haste and carelessness of the method
employed admitting greater or less
amount of the poison into every can.
The consumption of these canned goods,
amounting to ten cans for every person
in the United States every year, gives
an appreciable idea of the vastness OF
the attack made upon the human stom-
ach in this country. Gamers must stop
using this deadly poison, which attacks
the vital organs with resistless yigor,
and laws that fail to consider this'im-
portant feature of the question fail in
an important particular. Brooklyn

1t makes one feel folish enough to

scared look overspreading his features;
then he looks silly, and laughs an in
sipid little little laugh, as he reflects
that everybody is looking at him; and
it doesn't help the matter when some
body observes, as somebody inevitably
does, that. the horse was deceived by his
greenness, and took him for grass. The
only reason why he doesn't commit .

PARIS GREEN.

The Importance of Great and Constant
Carefuiness In Using This Deadly
Poison.
Paris green is so deadly poison tn at
some persons think it should never be
used to kill insects on growing crops.
Some go as far as to refuse eating po-
tatoes altogether, since it is so COM
monty employed. A few prominent
journals favor its prohibition by law.
1t can not be questioned that serious
injury. and sometimes fatal results.
have occurred from employing it.
Those who apply it are often careless.
and allow the wind to blow the dust
into their nostrils, or they breathe the
minute portions which rise in the air in
mixing it. In one case poor fence
between a pasture and potato patch
allowed herd of cows to break in, and
several died from eating the poison.
Animals have been poisoned from the
vessels containing the arsenic, carelessly
used for feeding. A field of potatoes
on the windward side of a vegetable
garden caused some of a family to be-
come poisoned by eating the vegetables
which had received some of the Paris
green from the wind.
Such accidents, although few and far
between, show the Importance of great
caution. The same care is required in
the use of powerful appliances or ma
chinery of any kind. Steam engines
sometimes destroy life. but men con-
tinue to make and use them. Fatal
accidents occur on railroads, but we are
hardly willing to abolish them. Barbed-
wire fences injure cattle and horses, but
they have proved too useful and efficient
for farmers to give them up. There is
no necessity for accidents from Paris
green with proper care. Millions Of
persons eat the tubers of potatoes un-
| harmed. for the poison, being insoluble,
can not enter them, and there is enough
iron, the antidote. in all soils to neu-
tralize any portion which may reach
the earth. The chief danger is that
when people become familiar with any
thing they grow careless in its use. II
is important, therefore. to continue the
constant caution which is commonly
used at first. but too often relaxed after
