Has Nor Walled FOE FORTY YEARs.-Mrs.
Sarah Barnett living near the town of Lafayette,
Montgomery county, in this State. gave birth to
her second and last child just forty years ago
since then she has never walked, but has been
constantly confined to the bed. She sits up in
the bed more or leas every day, and looks very
we'll for one having been confined to the bed for
SO long time. Her appetite is good. as we'll as
her general health It has never been known for
certain what caused her to lose her powers Of To-
comotion, but in all probability the nerves radi-
ating from the spinal cord were injured in some
way or other The case is likely to be brought
to the attention of the Stats medical board shortly

San inspection of ths iat," continues the
report, "shows that the great majority of
substances used for adulterents are not inju
rious to health the public is cheated, but
not poisoned They consist for the most
part in the wiliul and fraudulent addition
of substances which do not exist in the nor
NAL product, or are oGly found there in an
appropriately lower proportion. Another
large class consists OF simple alterations by
the wilful and fraudulent subtraction OF
some substance that is normally present in
the product, and which is not found IN the
abnormal product, or only in an appreca-
bly, lower proportion The number Of sub
stances used that are positively Injurious to
health is small, and they generally make
their presence felt by tho prompt manner in
which dangerous symptoms manifest them
selves in the consumer.
Suoh are the arsenic, copper, lead, and
other metallic poisonous salts that are some-
TINES used for artificial colors in candies,
pickles, &c. The use Of antiseptics, such as
salicyiic acids. sulphite Of soda, bora1, &C.,
for the prevention of fermentation in inn
properly prepared foods, is daily becoming
more frequent. These deserve mention as
being additions to foods of class of snb-
stances used to cloak carelessness In manu-.
tactpre, and producing, in many cases, dele
terious effects on the human economy. The
addition of such antiseptics as salicylic acid
to food products is prohibited in France and
Germany, though 10 the latter country such
use is allowed when the food product ID e1.
ported to countries where such addition is
not prohibited.

A VENERABLE ToAD.-Local antiquarians and
biologists arc enchanted at present with live
toad found in the course of railway excavations at
Greenock, Scotland. The toad is from 10000 to
10000 years old, as the stratum of clay in which
it was found certainly dates from the glacial pc
riod. rs mouth Ia sealed up. 1t breathes slight

FIRE ON ANDERSON STREET.
Flames Damage the Bakery Owned
by j. c. Preston.

Last evening fire was discovered 10 the
two and a half story wooden building No. 46
Anderson street. An alarm was pulled from
box IA before the flames had gained much
Roadway, and the department responded
promptly. When the firemen arrived they
found dense smoke rolling out OF the win
dows in the attic and struggling from under
the ewes on the north side of the house. In
short time couple of streams of water
were turned upon the fire which proved TO be
difficult one to reach In twenty minutes
time the flames brokel out under the caves
on the north side the house, and then they
came through the roof. The fire was appar-
emily promptly extinglished, but in mo-
ment 1t broke out again in the same place
and it was fully an hour before the "all out"
bell could be sounded. The building was
formerly occupied by Hepburn, the Ander
son street baker, but for the last two months
it has been uloccupied. 1t is owned by John
c. Preston, the Washington street baker,
who lives at 14a Washington street. The
cause of the fire is unknown. Mr.. Preston
said he visited the building in the afternoon
and everything was all right then. The
damage by fire is confined to the upper story
AMI will not amount to very much. Consid-
cradle damage was done by water and the
total damage to the building caused by the
fire will probably not be far from 5000. 1t
is insured with J. II. Webster in the Hart
ford Fire Insurance Company for $1,000. and
in the Germania of New York for $500, the
loss therefore, being fully covered by insu
rance
