PARIS GREEN.
The Importance of Great and Constant
Carefulness In Using This Deadly
Poison.

The Importance of Great and Constant
Carefulness In Using This Deadly
Poison.
Paris green is so deadly poison that
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 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 vegetable
garden caused some of 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 I'M
harmed, for the poison, being insoluble
can not enter them. and there is enough
iron. the antdote, in all soils to neu-
tralize any portion which may reach
the earth The chief danger is tina.
when people become familiar with any
thing they grow careless in its use. 1t
is important. therefore. to continue the
constant caution which is commonly
used at first, but too often relaxed after
ward. - Country Gentleman.

"A case occurred in Belfast Me-,
which shows how the little birds under

containing two young birds had been
in some way destroyed, and the little
birds had fallen upon the ground.
They were picked up by a kind-hearted
gentleman, who was holding them ten
derby in the palm of his hand when the
parent bird came and, alighting upon
his sleeve, commenced feeding the little
ones. The birdlings were placed in q
cage. which was hung up outside the
house, and now the parent bird makes
regular trips to the place, supplies her
babies with food, and then retires to a
little distance. She shows no fear of

of the children In whose care they have

THE THREE GREAT LANGUAGES.

Comparative Importance Of the English
Over the French and German Tongues.
The language in which Shakespeare
and Milton wrote was the language Of
but five or six millions of people in their
day, and as late as one hundred years
ago English was spoken by not more
than fifteen or sixteen million people,
says the Paris american Register. At
the same period French was the mother
tongue of at least thirty million people,
and German, in one or other of It's
forms, was the language of from thirty
to forty million people This state Of
affairs is now completely reversed Be-
tween forty and fifty years ago the En-
glish language equaled the German in
the number Of those who spoke it, and
now the latter is left far behind in the
race. German Is spoken by 10000. 900
persons in theAustria- Hungarian empire
46, 0e0, 900 in the German empire, 10000
in Belgium, z, 900, 600 in Switzerland. and
the native tongue of some 1000, DOC
in the United States and Canada. Thir
gives total of ab6nt sixty million per
sons who may speak German
With French the case Is much tbs
same, but the gain during the past cen
fury has been smaller than that of Ger
man. French is now spoken by the
SO, 00O,0 900 people of France. by 1885,
600 in Belgium, 100000 in Alsace-Lor-
raine, 100000 in Switzerland, 1900. DOC
in Canada and the United States. 600.-
600 in Hayti. and by 1,500.030 in Al
giers, India. tho West Indies, and Afri-
ca; in all about forty-five million.
English is now spoken by all but some
500. 900 of the 81. 900. 600 persons in the
British Islands. by 50. 600, 600 out of the
56.OO0.OO0 inhabitants of the United
States, by 1000, 900 persons in Canada,
5000, 900 in Australasia. LOO, 900 per-
sons in the West Indies. and perhaps by
1000. 600 in India and the other British
colonies. This brings up the total to
100. 000. 900. which can not be very far

will not retail them for less than twenty
eight cents, because that gives us little

Are all that are sold for twenty-five
cents bogusp'
They are not the true imported
brand, as rule OF course, there are
occasional big hotels and restaurants
that are content to handle them at q
margin of two and half cents. The
fraud is effected in this way: Clerks or
boys In the hotels or restaurants where
the genuine brand is sold keep the
boxes when they become empty and
supply them at a fair cost-say fifty
cents apiece-to the small dealers. A
domestic cigar is manufactured of the
exact shape and color of the imported
brand, and the box is filled with these
domestic cigars. The box is genuine,
and the cigars very much like the real
thing. The dealer, by this little game,
clears about thirteen cents on cigar
a pretty tidy profit, and well worth the
ruse even If it is State Prison offense.
How con one detect the spurious
one?"
"Only an expert can tell the differ
ence in the make of the cigar at a glance,
but if you look carefully at the date on
the box it might give you clew. For
instance, l saw some cigars that were
not over week old the other day that
were In box labeled October IL. The
manufacturers on the other side are en-
deavoring to throw difficulties in the
way of these fraudulent dealers by put
ting peculiar glaze on their boxes.

POISON IN CANNED GOODS.

Chloride Of Zinc. Freely Used by Gamers.
ms Deadly as Arsenic.
So many cases of poisoning have
saken place by reason of the use OF
canned goods that we. seeking for a
definite cause, find it arises from chlor-
tide of zinc. This is poison almost as
ieadly 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-
zion, and besides. though not cheaper in
itself. it could be applied to a cheaper
quality of tin plate, of which the cans
we're 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 a 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
toms OF its malady were similar TO those
attending all the cases of poisoning by
reason OF the use of canned goods. The
Gamer uses the dangerous material
freely. applying it with large brush.
working so rapidly as to cap ten cans
minute, 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 vigor,
and laws that fail to consider this i'm
portant feature of the question fail in
an important particular. Brooklyn
