PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Poisoned by Eating Su.u.ecs-rhe In
creasing Use OF Norphia, Choral. Etc.
Foreign medical journals have reported
several cases of nutmeg poisoning during tho
past summer In four of tns cases whole
nutmeg Was taken, and in the fifth case i've
whole nr.megs.
The following instance is particularly note
worthy. first for the small quantity rather
over half of an ordinary sized nutmeg)
which produced the symptoms, and sec
ondly, for the very marked effect on the
heart and circulation. The patient, q strong,
healthy woman. grated the nutmeg. and
mixed it with glass OF hot ale, which she
drank at bedtime. An hour after she felt
some nausea, but got TO sleep. Awakened
about a. m, feeling very cold and with a
sensation OF pricking in the skin, and with
her heart beating at a racing speed.
When physician, Dr. Pinnock. OF Victoria,
Australia, saw her, two hours later, the sur
face OF the body was everywhere cold and
pale; pupils dilated, respiration signing, and
pulse almost imperceptible and uncountable
The doctor gave her hot brandy and water
Immediately, and mustard applications to
eIigastrium and extremities: also mustard
emetic. As this did not act, he gave her,
a.
tenth grain apomo-phia, which produced
FREQ vomiting in a few minutes. The vom-
tied fluids contained nutmeg unmistakably.
After this the pulse strengthened, became
moro steady, and warmth returned to tho
surface Much drowsiness continued; and,
after taking sorne more hot brandy and
water, she went to sleep Next day she was
much better, and the day after was fully re-
covered, and able to attend to household
duties
DR.. W. 7. Dodge, Of Michigan, reports in
Medical Record that two children, girl
about 4 yes-s OF age, and a boy about s,
who had been left At farm house alone all
day, wcre discovered acting strangely on
the return Of the family in the evening. An
investigation discovered pieces of nutmegs
about the house, and the little girl stated
that she had eaten one, but had vo,nited,
and that the boy had eaten two. He was in
n seni-comatose condition, and in spite Of
all that cocld DO done by the physician the
little fellow died early the next morning.

The Deadly Blizzard.

The terrible storm which has swept over
the Northwest, blockading railroads in five
States, is now over, and the victims of its
fury are being counted. The pitiful list is
growing almost every hour. 1t is not i'm
probable when the record is complete it
will show a hundred lives sacrifed to the
awful fury of the blizzard. Next to this.
the worst blizzard that the Northwest ever
experienced occurred January Z, 5 and g.,
1878. In that storm seventy people were
frozen to death and thousands of dollars
worth of property destroyed. The recent
storm promises 10 be even more terrible in
its results. 1t came without warning.
The mercury fell rapidly, and by 5 o'clock
on Wednesday evening it was fifteen de-
grees below zero, and the next morning 1t
registered thirty degrees below. AL the
while the wind increased in fury, snow fell
thicker, and the large quantity of snow
that was already on the ground was blown
into powder and hurled along by the wind.
The sufferings of the victims were intense
and the death-list was appalling. \ re-
vised list of the fatalities shows ninety
seven dead in Dakota, twelve in Minnesota,
six in Iowa, seventeen in Nebraska and
three in Montara-total one hundred and
thirty-tive besides ffty-tiye reported miss
ing. Additions are constantly being made
to the list. Railroad travel has been blocked

Facts About Rainfall.

The subject of the rainfall is an inter
esting one this winter. The American
Meteorological Journal informs US that
s'the precipitation in the temperate zone
is extremely variable from season to sea.
son. which inspires hope that other
winters may differ little from this one.
The discussion of the weather journal is,
however, chiefly devoted to the rainfall
on the Western plains, which is recogniz.
ed as most important element in esti-
mating the agricultural future Of oul
country by such competent authorities
as General Morrow, Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, Professor S. E. Thompson and
ex-senator Dorsey. In investigating the
clmatology of the United States, allow:
alice has to be made for the difficulty oi
placing rain gauges in exposed localities
so as to obtain accurate results. Snow
drifts and inequalities of exposure play
an important part in upsetting the
measurements by gauges; and much
care is necessary to prevent inezactness
in result in which accuracy is essential.
Mr.. Mark ". Harrington, in the
Meteorological Journal, recommends the
maps of Lorin Blodgett as the best
standard for comparison as basis oi
earlier observation, and those OF DR..
Charles Dennison, of Denver, for the
later dates. With these as standards,
Mr.. Harrington concludes that there is g
slow but gradual gain in the rainfall II
the West, which argues well for the In,
creased fertility of our great developing
agricultural regions.

it was a strange life. Here I was living,
eating, sleeping, under the same roof with
family who evidently paid for all en-
joyed, and yet was as distant from them,
as far removed, as though had dwelt at
the farthest corner Of the globe. seldom
saw the children; never spoke to Mr.. or
Mrs. Clayton; they never addressed me in
any manner. What explanation they made
to their friends for my appearance l know
not Twas simply passed over as though
they never even dreamed Of my cS:s..eace.
But when had been at the Heights nearly
two years, was one day nearly upset by
Maggie bursting into my room in great
hurry, and crying:
', miss, the mistress sent me to fetch
ye down to the parlor at once. That old
witch, Miss Armund, is just come, and no
body looking for her Put on your pesI
frock and come down this minute
Wondering what could have happened 10
work such wondrous change, did as Mag
gle commanded, and soon found myself IN
the parlor, welcomed by Miss Armund, VINO
looked many years older than when had
last seen her. She welcomed me kindly,
however; made me sit by her, and asked me
a multitude of questions about my health,
my studies, ETC., all Of which answered as
well as could. I was astonished at the
friendliness shown me by Mrs. Clayton and
Ema, who treated me in every way as 8
member Of the family. Ibegan to think my
troubles were ended; but, alas for human
expectationsl
Miss Armund stayed two days, during

but it cost me over $4,000, and then my

In a far-of famous land. in days long sonea
Before the wise, good Rabbi Simeon
A cbildless couple sorrowfully came;
And, neither on the other casting blame,
R-gged that the rabbi grant them 0ecree
Divorcing them forthwith, perpetually;
Since seven unfruitful years had come ana
fed,
And found childless home, barren bed.
The heen-eyed rabbi read in each pale face
The wish to save the other from disgrace;
Then barred his head, and sail in accents
.Sad is the house wherein no voice Of child :,
Makes glad the two-fold heart with pride ana
Yet that malicious tongues may not annoy
With whispered evil motive, secret s!n,
Invite your friends, from greatest to the
least,
And be your supper as marriage feast.
To show you part as friends, and part IN sor-
Then viii I grant your wish upon the NOR
row."
Well pleased, they take his counsel and pre-
A parting feast and call their friends to
Then spake the husband to his childless wife:
I'VE part not now in anger, hate or strife;
And, IS pledge that this is really So,
Take what you like best with you wnen you
She smiled, and promised him choice to
make,
And ever treasure it FOR old-times' sake.
The guests were gone, save only six at most
By toe good cheer vsnQuished, when at last
the host
Himself succumbed. The willy wife then bade
That he be to her fathers house conveyed.
The morning came, and from his stupor free,
He woke, and gazed around him wondering!y.
Then said his wife, who stopped and touched
his breast
"Of all your household have chosen the
best;
Tsn death divorces never shall we part"
Aud, rising up, he pressed her to his heart

yillISSS be a Year of War!

The present year is the fifth year of
modern times in which the aggregate of the
figures is twenty-five. and there will he but
five more years in which such q conblna-
nation is possible prior to the year 2o99:
Probably few have ever heard OF the Old
prophecy, which runs as follows:
In every future year of our Lord,
some warike k.n9uom Will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years to
which it applied.
In 1899, Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden which
inaugurated the great war that ended in the
disastrous defeat Of Charles MI. at Pull
iowa.
The wear 11S9 will ever be memorable on
account of the breaking out Of The French
Revolution.
The year 1893 witnessed the campaign
of Bonapartc in Egypt and the formation
of the second European coalition against
France.
In 1879 war broke out between England
and !echanistan, followed by the invasion
of til. liter country by British troops.
what manner the prediction IS to be
verified in 1888 remains set to be seen, but
the present condition of Europe seems to
promise an abundant fulflmcnt OF the
prophecy.
