Why AyuSSelS Poison,

Tho sad case of mussel- poisoning in
tho family of Mr.. James OConnor will
turn attention to a subject still under
dispute among authorities on poison. In
1887 M. Dutortre published in tho
French medical press series of obser-
yatinns on this question. lie came to
the conciusiCn that there is no class of
srusscl which is always poisonous. Tho
venomo1s properties of these sholl-fish
axe dependent on accidental circum-
stances. The poisonous quality is not
due to any influence hitherto advanced
as its cause, such as seaweed, the copper
sheathing of a ships hull, the spawn, or
some particular part of the mussel itself,
poisonous food taken by tho mussel. or
decomposition. The poison is due, in NJ.
Dutertro's opinion, to q true disease at
lacking tho liver Of the mollusc An
allsaloid, mytilotoxine, which was alb
stractcd by this observer, from the dis
cased organ was found to act in the samo
way as curarc.--British Medical Jour
nal.

Simple notes of invitation written in an

whom you wish to invite 20 a christening
party, says The Art Interchange. The
guests are invited to come at q certain
hour, and when all are assembled the cere-
mony takes place. A table must be ar
ranged with a christening bowl and some
white flowers at any convenient part of
the room. Christenings of very young
children usually take place about midday,
after which a collation. (which is in fact a
luncheon is served. This may be an elab-

not necessary to have favors, and menus
are rarely used except for formal dinners.
