There is light at last on subject of vast
Importance TO all vegetable eaters. 1t seems
that green vegetable is as surely Injurious
to health as green fruit. But cooking will
generally render a fruit harmless. while it
will not do SO for vegetable. A recent case
OF wholesale poisoning OF French soldiers
was traced to the solanine in unripe potatoes
This esculent is poisonous moro often than q
supposed. If dug before maturity the tuber
is by no means safe. But far worse is it to use
potato for food that has, after being dug,
been exposed to the light for any length Of
time. They should be stored in the dark as
soon as dug. If bitter they should never be
eaten. Tho moro discoveries are made as to
our health and to our sanitary needs the less
we seem near to true knowledge Of the best
conditions for sustaining health and life

In various parts Of China there Is a belief
that the souls Of very atrocious criminals
who have either been executed or died in
prison are sent back from hades by Yenlo,
the judge there, to undergo a further term
Of imprisonment, one death not being enough
to expiate their crimes. When the second
term Of Imprisonment is adjudged to have

Clothing FROM Ills own Hair.

There is a farmer living in Fulton county
who has the most useful head Of hair on
record. His hair is more like the wool Of o
sheep than anything else. 1t is soft and long
and curls but little. 1t is about the color OF
tho wool on tho back Of a brown sheep, and
is as thick as the wool Of a sheep. The
gentleman prizes his peculiar hair very
highly, and he also makes good use Of it, for
he has several pairs Of socks and a nice warm
pair Of gloves made from hair cut from his
own head.-Atlanta Journal.
