COlonist SleeperS.

The Union Pacific railway, also known
as The Overland Route, has lately added
to it's service number of new cars
(Which by the way are built by the World
famous Pullman Company entitled Colo
mist Slannnrs and which fa" convenience
and comfort are but little behind the
handsome Pullman Palace Car The cars
are designed for the use and comfort of
the Colonist, who with his family intend
moving west to grow up with the coun-
try.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular tirst-class Pullman is that
the Co]onist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing head boards and heavy damask cur
tains, as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular first-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and good supply Of
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of the
passengers, and no smoking is allowed.
1t certainly seems that for cheap and
commodious sleeping accommodations,
while travelling, these cars cannot be eX
celled. O12.

Poison i'm NIushrooms.

1t is generally supposed that edible
mushrooms are, under all circumstances
safe article of diet, but some recent
cases of poisoning in Switzerland show
that there may be danger in at least one
species If preserved in the dry state--the
helvella (or morchells) esculenta. The
theory is that the highly heterogeneous
mushroom substance is capable, un-
der special circumstances, of un-
dergoing certain putrefactive changes
which lead to the formation OF
products of poisonous character bear
ing a close analogy to those formed dur
ing the putrefaction of animal bodies.
Consequently there is double source of
danger in eating mushrooms, viz! the
chance of admixture Of poisonous species
and the possibility of the existence OF
ptomaine-like bodies arising from partial
decomposition having setin. II Lancet
