The Deadly TYrotOxicOn,

IL speaking of the poison "tyrotoxicon,"
discovGed only a few years ago by Pro
fessor Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, DIR. Deucher
states that it is as deadly as strychnine,
and is developed through some chemical
action in milk. 1t appears most frequent
ly in cheese and ice cream. Sometimes the
poison is discovered in cheese having a
good appearance, and it might be devel-
oped after the cheese had passed to the
charge of consumer and had been left in
some unhygienic place.

The Ear.

No oily substance. poultice or IMMINENT
should be put into the ear, because great
injury is liable to be done. Warm water
is the best possible, and about the only
safe, '.wash." Do not scratch the ears
with any metal; pin heads, hairpins or
ear picks should be tabooed. Do not
scream if an insect enters the ear; warm
water will drown it, and wash out the
remains" The ear is not nearly so
liable to injury from the intruder as
from frantic efforts to dislodge it

Rpric Acid.

According to American Analyst, the Ger
man government has forbidden contract
ors to supply the navy with preserved
articles of food containing boric acid. This
order is the result of the trial of new pre-
sentative composed of equal parts of borax
and salt, which has been sold as harmless.
1t was found, it is said, that persons par
taking of meat preserved with this agent
experienced gastric arrangements.

Now is the Time,

Our farmer friends who expect to
get the bounty on their maple sugar
products must obtain license there
for prior to April LIST. To make
sure of this they should, at once,
write to the Commissioner of Inter
nal revenue for necessary papers and
blanks for an application for license.
Now is the time to do this. Do not
wait until the last end when thousands
of applications will be made.

Don't Dispute in Company.

Don't be disputatious. An argument
which goes rapidly from one to another
may be tolerated, but when two people in
company fall into a heated dispute, to the
exclusion of all other topics, the hostess
should arbitrarily interfere and Danish the
theme.

Diversity of Manners.

"Vulgarity lies in manners unsuited to
the condition of life to which you belong.
A lady is vulgar when she has the manners
of kitchen maid, and the kitchen maid is
vulgar when she affects the manner, of a
lady. Neither is vulgar SO long As she Is
contented to be herself"

The New Dresses,

Many of the new dresses have one fiounce
around the hem, which may be taken as a
premonition that the gowns of next sea-
son will be f1ounced to the waist, after the
style of our grandmothers. Thus gently
does fashion insert the wedge of an inno-
walton in mode which presently develops
to exaggeration.

Breeders,


The annual meeting of the Ver-
mont Horse Breeders association
was held at Montpelier on the 18th
with fair attendance of members.
President Hooker calls it the best
meeting the association ever had.
The report of Joseph Battell, treas
urer, showed that the balance of
s3lO6 on hand year ago was re-
duced by $500, and that there were
bills unpaid amounting to s2269.
Of these bills 1854 was contracted
by the general superintendent
Wayne Bailey of Rutland. The re.
ceipts from the Rutland meeting ane
members fees were SS410 and the
expenses already paid amounted tc
S9298. To meet the whole deficiency
would exhaust the surplus and an ap
peal had been made to members anC
others, and several hundred dollars
had been received and more was com.
ing in.
Members of the executive commit.
tee were elected in place of those
whose terms had expired as follows
j. w. Cramton, III. I. Cults, Geo
w. Hooker, F. FL. Harrington, p

The new jackets fit the figure at the
back, and are closely shaped in front. A
really fashionable plain sealskin jacket is
made thus with long basque, high col
lar, with points turning downward at the
throat, higher and squarer than we saw
them last year; outstanding sleeves at the
shoulders, and added cuffs. The salient
points are that the seal jackets are some
three inches or four inches longer in the

higher collars of varied form, and that

are entirely of sealskin; other have the
collar and shoulder pieces of Astrakahn.

Good Sitter Doctrine.

The New York Press, radical

the recent election says: "Such re-

and men who represent clean ele-
ments, as well as men of brains and
independence and force, if they want
Republicans to vote for and elect
them, and the future Of the Republi-
can party as party lies in the heed
