1t will doubtless surprise many to learn
that in nutmegs we find n powerful
poison, generally believed to DO Of the
narcotic order. 1t is only comparatively
recently that cases of poisoning by it
have been recorded in this country, prob
ably for the reason that, being so uni
versally considered harmless, when dam
gerous or fatal consequences have fol-
lowed its use the cause has been oyer
looked. Tho quantity of nutmeg which
1t is necessary to take to produce serious
symptoms has never been estimated. In
one case, however, one and q half nut
megs, 1t Is said, caused in a woman
stupor, followed by excitement, with
signs of collapse.
Dr.. Waugh has recently reported the
case of n woman whowas advised by her
neighbors to eat nutmegs for the relief
of dyspepsia due to constipation. One
forenoon she ate five of medium size.
No unpleasant symptoms followed until
some nino or ten hours afterward. Then
she became sick to her stomach, giddy,
and had n chill, accompanied by vomit-
ing, headache, dryness of the mouth and
throat, and q sore, strained sensation in
the eyes. Her sight became affected,
and she complained that everything APP
peared misty. When the chill passed
off, slight fever and sweating followed,
with intense, throbbing headache. der
proper treatment this woman reco red.
In her case no narcotic symptoms appear

THOSE wRINKLEp HANDS.

Those wrinkled hands that DER a woman's breast
Alasl how cold and stu; but God Knows best:
His time will choose, while we 10 silence weep,
Who had by those dear hands been often blest
But now shall miss the love that flowed so deep,
No more shall we enjoy their soft caress,
Nor feel again their clinging tenderness
In those lines where the pillow OF Time has run,
And heaped with burrows deep the trace OF years
The marks Of toll the change OF shade and sun.
Tho record of a heightened life appears;
Many n tale they tell of Joys begun,
And hopes soon ended in q dash OF tearS
Those veins Of blue her sunny skies uRron,
That skin 50 fair the whlteness OF her soul
But loi as W. read on what sight Is thlsf
A cherub form with dimpled hands and small
Bright golden locks, and lips that tempt n kiss
Like paintings seen on old cathedral wall;
Some angel sent from distant worlds Of bliss,
That sunbeams bring to this dim earthly ball
Again We look, a laughing girl is seen
To schools she skips or romps In orchards green
In these oddly fashioned lines next we trace
The vision Of q maiden sweet and fair;
By garden gate she waits; upon her face
Rests lights rosy tinge, as II gathered there
The crimson blush of thousand mornings grace;
Or Is that glow OF bliss beyond compare,
Aught else than lovo's warm thrill, rs there she
stands,
Holding in her own another's tender handsY
Lies busy noon unfolds; and what befeII
In sober age, how hands now pale and cold
Were moved 10 kindly acts, oft strove to quen
neighbours grief, and wipe the gathering mold
or death from aching brows. Sick beds can tell;
And poor their sanity deeds confess with old;
Then rest sweet hands, with scars Of battle won.
Like folded banners when the day Is done

CONSLDER ~ WELL

Without the least difficulty IA committee
of the board of trade succeeded in a few
hours Tuesday in raising a bonus of So
OOO which. under certain conditions, Is to
be given outright to a gentleman who
proposes to establish a stove foundry in
this city. The readiness with which pco-
pic contributed is evidence of the fact
that much of the old timc spirit is left
and people are prepared to give a mighty
lift whenever they find themselves on the
right road. In regard to this subject We
have only one suggestion to make and
that is that subscriptions of the size men
toned cannot be raised every day in the
week and therefore the money should go
toward the establishment Of some indus
try which contributes the very most to
the general good. Is this industry the
building OF a stove foundry? This is a
question deserving the most careful con-
sidcTation.
Suppose we should have a stove foun-
dry here, where would the goods be mar
kcted? Could any more favorable rates
be secured from the railroads than are
now furnished to other struggling indus
tries or industries which have ceased to
struggle because of EXCESSIVE railroad
tariffs? We have no desire to throw cold
water on any project which promises re.
lief. Ga the contrary we are profoundly
conscious of the urgent Immediate neces-
sity Tor some such step as is now being
taken. The question in our mind is
whether the big bonus could not be used
to better advantage in other directions.
In this connection the subject of a
smciter comes forward with extraordinary
force. When the wheel foundry Is built
here a ready home market will be found
Tor the portion Of product of a
smcltcr. Colorado now imports immense
quantities of pig iron from the east and
if satisfactory railroad rates could be
secured would willingly use the Wyoming
pig. A market could therefore be more
readily secured han for the product of. a
stove foundry, with the additional ad
vantage that the rich lion ore beds close
to hand, which must ultimately prove one
of our greatest sources of revenue,
would receive immediate development.
The establishment of manufactures
here Is 40 urgent present necessity, but
we should get the very best that's going
for the money.

There were three or four ~unoCcupied
seats in the car, but he stood for n mo-
ment, grip in hand, near the door, and
then walked to n seat in which n young
lady sat alone and sat down beside her
with m impudence that astounded all
other passengers. The girl looked up at
him and around the car, and evidently
realized the situation, for she took pen
Gil and tablet from her reticule and made
ready for him. After about five minutes
the man turned to her and observed:
"Beg pardon If | am mistaken, but
don't you live Mt Utica?"
She looked up in n furtive way, and
then wrote on the tablet and handed him:
81 am leaf and dumb"
"Ah! BY George! he sighed as he read

girl to have such n misfortune. Well,

He nodded his head to her to signify
that he understood, and he would have
been glad to change seats if he could
have donc so without loss of dignity. As
the train Numbered on he perused the
contents of n couple of newspapers,
yawned awhile, and her bought and
finished n novel; and finally, after a ride
of four mortal hours, the whistle blew,
and he reached for his grip with the re-
mark:
"TIl be hanged if I amt glad this
stupid ride has come to an end at last"
"DittoI' quietly replied the girl, as she
turned on him.
"You-you"- he gasped, as he stood
there looking down upon her with twelve
kinds of emotion galloping over his
countenance.
'Good-by," she said, and he backed
out and dropped to the platform like a
man retreating from a mules hind legs.

Photographing the Aurora Borealis.

DIR. Kayser has succeeded in obtaining
n photograph of the aurora borealis from
the summit of Mount Rigiin Switzerland.
This is ar interesting fact, it having
hitherto been regarded as impossible to
photograph the aurora for want of a plate
sufficiently sensitive to be impressed by its
rays. Gunther, in his well known physi-
cal geography, declares it to be utterly
impossible to photograph the aurora, the
most carefully prepared plate remaining
neutral when exposed to the aurora's
rays. DR.. Kayser resorted to special
precautions and employed a colored dry
plate-the azalin trocken-platte. New

THE PIANO WILL STAY.

1t May he Improved. but 1t Is Too Strong
Iy Intrenched to BE Routed.
With the attainment of perfect piano
playing, thinks n contemporary German
writer, musical arc will seek a now IN
strument from which greater delight
may be evolved. The same writer sug-
gests that such new instrument will COM
bine wind power with strings-the or
chestra reduced to a keyboard. We will
not, at this time, attempt to c%ontrovert
the German writer's speculation as to the
instrument of the future. We will, how
ever, venture to disagree with his insinu-
ton that the sun of the piano is setting.
In its very nature that noble instrument
ia enduring.
1t is the latest of n series of develop
monts that began many generations ago.
Possibly it Is destined to still higher devel-
opments. 1t, however, has n distinctive
power of answering to and illustrating
every emotion of grief, joy, pleasure or
pain that agitates the bosom of the com
poser, and, moreover, of arousing the
same emotions in all sympathetic listen
crs. This alone will cause the piano to
survive, at least until the nature of man
is changed.
This power is the result of tho strug-
CLING efforts of mon toward an ideal; ef-
forts akin to those that have been put
forth by Eoble natures in the develop
ment of other arts. Brooklyn bridge is
n perfect development of the rude tree
trunk whereby primeval man was en-
ablcd to cross n creek. The cornet, the
saxhorn, the trombone, the euphonium,
are but improved-vastly improved
forms of the ancient rams horn by
whose fearful simplicity of sound the
wandering sons of Israel were reminded
that the time to perform certain religious
duties had arrived. The crude, barbaric
Asiatic lutte, with body of snakeskin and
a couple of coarse strings, is seer in
moro artistic form in the guitar, the vio-
lin, the mandolin.
Most musical instruments have arrived
at a satisfaction giving stage, tho coming
of which has been more or less uncon-
sciously yearned for through hundreds
and perhaps thousands of years. Each
may be susceptible of further develop
mcnts, but the distinctive, generic idea
attaching to each will, by development,
he still more clearly defined.
1t is not in human nature or art to
abolish the piano. Too much brain and
Drawn and heart effort have been sue
cessfully spent upon it for us to abandon
it now; and, as we ~havosaid, its abolition
would leave ian aching void" in human
life. Even when We fly across space In
air ships and succeed in colonizing Mars

ISOLATION and the stimulation OF the piano,

when you wish to know what the
