ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.To
Remarkable Contrast in the Effect
of Two POisons on the Complex

Remarkable Contrast in the Effect
q of Two Poisons on the Complex
ion.
The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief
that arsenic clears the complexion has
led many silly women TO kill themselves
with it in small. continued doses.
1t produces a waXy, ivOry-like appear
ance of the skin during certain stage
of the poisoning, but its terrible after
effects have become too we'll known to
make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite to
that of arsenic. The first symptom of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia fac
tories is discoloration of the skin of
the nose and forehead. This gradually
extends over the face until the complex
ion has stained, blOtched and I'M
slightly appearance. With people who
take ammonia into their systems in
smaller doses, as with their water or
food, those striking SYMPTOMS do not
poison that is visible for a time is a
general EMBELLISHMENTS and sallow-
ness of the complexion.
asMany people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it..
The use of ammonia insthe manufact-
ureS has greatly increased of late, and
it is unquestionably used as an adulter-
ant in certain food preparations. Of
fetal analyses haveiplainly showed its
use even in such cheap articles of every
day consumption as baking powders.
The continued absorption of ammonia
in even minute quantities as an adulter-
ant in food is injurious, not merely from
its effect upon the complexion, but be-
cause it destroys the coating of the
stomach and causes dyspepsia and kin
dred evils.
Prof. Long, of Chicago, is authority
for the statement that, if to 50,000.000
parts of water there is one part of am
monia, the water is dangerous.

DENVER, Col, May 17.-For years it has
been nc secret that the municipal admins
tratiOn of this city has been the most cor
rupt on earth. The affairs of every depart
ment, with possibly one exception. to-
gether with both houses of the city govern
ment, have been under the control of gang
OF men whose only object in life was
personal profit. Should any electric light,
water or railway corporation desire to
secure a valuable franchise the first cues
ton asked them was, ''how much money
can you put up?' and it is needless to add
that the franchise was always granted 1t
has been charged, and as yet never denied,
that the price of an alderman or council
man before the present board was sworn in
was only $1,000 upon any subject. Efforts
were made on several occasions to change
this state OF affairs, but the gang had so
tight hold upon the police and water
forces and the ward primaries that all at
tempts to depose them We're futile.
Last April, however, revo-
luton visited the CITY. and
the result OF the municipal election was
the election of a new set of officials from
the mayor down to the constables
An investigation was at once commenced,
and the financial affairs of the city found 10
be in a deplorable condition.
1t has been discovered that between jan
uary and April IA of this year there is a
deficiency of over Sl9, 600 in collected liquor
licenses; it has also been discovered that
hundreds of saloons and houses of i'll fame
have been permitted to run all night with
out licenses, they having paid certain
amount which has never been accounted
for and doubtlessly distributed among the
members Of the '.r1ng." Thirty of these
houses have already stated that they We're
assessed $1,000 per annum.
The books of the city treasurer's Office
have been kept in a most Indifferent man
ner, III many instances the check and re-
ceipt books being wrongly numbered and
no record whatever kept Of the receipts or
dis bursements.
The committee now examining into the
matter are of the opinion that $4,000 has
been stolen from the city in this manner.

Il go a-fishing," cried Simon Peter to his

hands hard from fishing tackle. The fisher
les of the world have always attracted at
tentiOn. In the third century the queen of
Egypt had for pin money 5000 received
from the fisheries of Lake MOeris. And if
the time should ever come when the immen-
sity of the worlds population could not be
fed by the vegetables and meats of the
land, the sea has an amount Of animal life
that would feed all the populations of the
earth and fatten them with food that by
its phosphorus would make a generation
brainE and intellectual beyond anything
thar the world has ever imagined. My text
takes us among the Galilean fishermen.
One day Walter Scott. while hunting in an
old drawer, found among some old fishing
tackle the manuscript of his immortal book,
''Waverly,'' which he had put away there
as of no worth. and who knows but that to-
day we may lind some unknown wealth OF
thought while looking at the fishing tackle
in the text
1t is not good day for fishing and three
men are in the boat repairing the broken
fishing nets. If you are fishing with a hook
and line and the fish will not bite, it is a
good time 20 put the anglers apparatus into
better condition. Perhaps the last fish you
hauled in was so large that something
snapped. Or if you We're fishing with a net
there was mighty tlounderine of the
scales or an exposed nail on the side of the
boat which broke some of the threads and
let part or all of the captives of the deep
escape into their natural element And
hardly anything is more provoking than to
nearly land score or a hundred of trophies
from the deep and when you are in the full
glce of hauling in the spotted treasures
through some imperfection of the net they
splash back into the wave. That is too
much of
