TIE CONDITION IMPROVING.
Poisonous Articles Of Food.

Several members Of 2 family in this city
were poisoned couple of days ago from
eating berries unfit for food. This IS not
an unusual event in Chicago nor elsewhere.
Poisonous food gets on the market and Is
sold and eaten. and il makes the victims
very sick or kills them. In thus case, the
most recent in Chicago, the keeper OF u
hoarding-house purchased several boxes OF
berries from a street-peddleT. Evidently
but one box in the lot was at the exact
stage of decay where poison Is developed.
as only those persons who ate berries from
a particular part OF the dish were affected.
But there appears TO be no reason To doubt
that the berries, or "a portion OF them, were
the cause Of the disaster.
A few years ago families in village some
distance from Chicago showed symptoms
of poison, and on investigation II was
found that only those who had eaten pOr-
lions of a certain piece OF smoked or dried
beet. sold az the village market, had been
affected. Canned vegetable and animal
foo,ls have proved to be poisonous. Cheese
sometimes produces the effects OF poison.
Ice-cream, fruits, aud berries have the
same eftects
The poisons produced by the decay Of
animal and vegetable substances have been
so recently discovered and treated that
their names appear only IN the latest CLOS
these poisons are developed AT a particular
stage OF decomposition. II the process of
decay goes further the poison disappears,
probably undergoing a change that makes
Ii irnoxious. 1t Is not certain that abso-
iutely rotten animal or vegetable substances
are poisonous; at any rate, they are so
offensive that they are not source OF dan
ger. There appears TO be a point in the pro-
9ress of food products towards putrescence
At which the flavor or taste Of the article IS
not changed. unless fermentation has gwen
il a slight and not unpleasant pungency.
but at which poison Is generated which
NAV be very fatal in its effects. Whether
any care or wntchfulness or even scientific
analysis can fix the degree of decomposi-
ton at which the article becomes poison
Gus is very uncertain. In the case Of the
berries at the city clearinghouse in ques-
ton there appeared 10 be no difference
between those in the different boxes either
TO the eye or taste, yet part Of the lot
was wholesome and O part poisonous
In berries, fruit, aud table vegetables
probably the eye is the best judge 70 detect
articles that may DO harmful Nothing
should be consumed as food that isdccsyed

Many stories have been told on the plains
as illustrating the verdancy and eastern
innocence Of pilgrims" and - tender
feet One of tho best which the Ne1os
now recalls is related in regard to the man
ner in which one Of the old plains ranch
men up near the South Pass got new
wagon. He had Al old one, which
was practically worthless, and he had
made many efforts TO trade it OF
TO passing trains and travellers, but
without success. He was getting consid-
erably discouraged VIXEN long pilgrim"
appeared at the ranch and camped for the
night The pilgrim was very green, and as
he was bound over the mountains, had
many questions 10 ask about the mountain
pass, how wide il was, and whether wagons
experienced much difficulty in getting
through. He had a brand-new wagon,
which struck the ranchman's eye, and he
determined to play bold game to get it.
The next morning the pilgrim saw the
ranchman very carefully measuring his
wagon, and very naturally his curiosity was
excited, andrhis inquiries were answered by
the very solemn assurance from the nanch-
