POISONING.
Cases of Considerable Rarity In the Ills
tory of the Healing Art.

Cases Of Considerable Rarity In the His
tory of the Healing Art.
The husband and two children of the
poisoned family in Highlands are better.
1t is a case of ptomaine poisoning, and
the fact hat that kind Of poisoning is
exceedingly rare makes it most interest
ing. 1t comes from putrid meats and
vegetables, and also exists in cheese. 1t
Is a poisonous salt developed in the proc
ess of putrefaction, and a case OF this
kind of poisoning is rarely seen so marked
as this case, because it is seldom that
people eat meats that are pronouncedly
tainted.
In this case the meat was in the most
dangerous stage, and all that ate it were
very sick. An evidence which shows
that this was a case Of ptomaine poison
ing resulting from the meat is that the
family upstairs ate some of the same
meat, which was cooked, and were very
sick for two days, but recovered. Symp-
toms of this kind of poisoning, accord
ing to DR.. Lutze's statement, are violent
vomiting and purging and a pinched ex-
preston of the face. This is often mis-
taken by the best physicians for other
troubles, and such a mistake is not sur
prising when the best chemists do not
thoroughly understand the nature of
these cases and the poison.
1t is a blood poison by absorption, and
its effect is first upon the blood, pro-
dueing tissues of the capillary circula-
ton. In reality death commences at the
surface and continues inwardly until the
heart is reached. Its secondary effect is
on the vasomotor nerves which regulate
the circulation. DR.. Lutte called DIR.
Sewers in consultation on the case, and
both are satisfied that this is a clear case
of ptomaine poisoning.
Regarding the rarity of such cases DIR.
Lutte says he has in his practice never
seen but one, and that was the case Of a
man in New Jersey. In that instance
the cause was putrid fish. A whole fam
lily was stricken down and five died. DR..
Sewers says he never saw a case with
fatal results before. In giving the pc
culiar effects of the poison he cited a
medical work which is compiled from
the best authorities over the world:
mo characteristic post-mortem ap-
pearances are recognizable. The body
is emaciated and the skin bleached and
parchment-like. Rigor morris begins
early and continues longer than usual,
and putrefaction is delayed in some cases,
but very rapid in others. The mucous
membrane of the mouth and pharynx is
often white, dry and par~chment-like or
horny. The mucous membrane is fire.
,,ua+1,, ,o-,o.4ol ,.J o-.a+,~o .,lx
matte. The spleen is sometimes en-
larged, congested and extremely soft and
friable. The blood, as a rule, is dark
and contains no foreign organisms or
elements. The corpuscles are unaltered.
The lungs are frequently ~congested and
odematous."
'Often," says DR.. Lutte, 'the symp-
toms are the same as in the case of ar
senic poisoning, but this is not always
so."-Denver News.

MISTAKES 1NIRRIGAr1oN.

People sometimes jump 20 the conclusion
that irrigation will not pay on account OF
tests made by themselves with incorrect
methods. The Farmers Home Journal says
such thing is very common with cultiva-
tors who are in the practice Of watering
plants and young trees IN time Of drouth.
The main mistake lies in the quantity OF
water given. They imagine that they have
given the whole ground a thorough soaking
when they have only wet the surface down
an inch or two, and rendered it ready to
harden into stih crust as soon as it can
dry.
In paper to Colman's Rural World
Judge Samuel Miller alludes to this charac-
ter of mistake and adds that IN watering
he applies the contents of a three-sailon
watering-can to every square yard, which
most persons would think copious drench-
ing. Yet, figures would show that the 696
cubic inches of water in the can, when
spread out over the 1895 square inches in
square yard constitutes stratum of water
only half an inch thick. which absorbed by
Sc Veral inches OF parched soil would not
u0ht lpgCSSiui VIZ llo W. iiSSo.
Persons well-informed with reference to
this matter are fully agreed that it takes
six gallons of water to thoroughly irrigate
one square yard OF surface soil or enough
to cover it to the depth of one inch, and
that this much water should be given once
a week in a case where there is no rain.
If such gardeners as sprinkle their soil
would only measure the water which they
apply, and measure the surface which they
have wet with it, the simple figuring would
astonish them and show that they were not
really watering their plants, but only
forming crust about them.
Instead of carrying water in cans or pals,
or even running it through hose for sprink-
ling purposes, continues the writer, the
only efficient mode OF irrigation IS to run
water through bitches between the plant
beds, to be soaked from the sides OF said
bitches to the roots Of the plants, and the
water for a thorough irrigation must be IN
quantity sufficient to have covered the en-
tire surface to the depth Of one inch IL so
put on.
OF course there are other methods than
the one referred to by the Home Journal,
as flooding level surface for grass or
small grain, and as 'sub-irrigation, so
called. The latter consists in running wa
ter under the beds through porous conduits,
TO be taken up into the soil by capillary at
attraction. 1t is said to work very well,
but the great cost of getting land ready for
it renders it rather impracticsble for opera
tons on any very considerable scale,

TEXAS HONEY PEACHES.

In our special study of Texas Seeding
peaches, made in the present season, We
| have found in considerable representation a
very peculiar kind that for want of better
name might be called the ''honey peach of
Texas 1t exhibits many characteristics
Of the celebrated honey peach now extern
sively cultivated in Florida. The tree APP
pears 10 be Of comparatively small growth,
the fruit has very little down." being al
most as smooth on the surface as q nectar
inc, and its seed is small and shaped pre-
cisely the same rs the seed Of the Florida
honey" In point of size the fruit is TO be
classed as small-it seldom attains to more
than three-fourths of an inch in diameter.
In flavor it is almost as sweet as honey or
sugar. We have found it as both free
stone End cling-about equally divided in
representation between the TWO. The
greatest variation from the Florida honey
peach lies in its time Of ripening, the Florida
''honey" is an early peach, while this
Texas ''honey peach'' ripens. in North
Texas, sbou: the first week in September.
On account of its small size this peculiar
Texas peach seems TO receive very little at
tcntion. It is usually found along fences or
in out of the way places on the farm, where
it has CHANGED TO spring up volunteer.
The thought of improving it does not seem
to have occurred to any one.
OF the origin of this peach we know moth
ing and we can find no one who seems to
know any more about it than we do. 1t is
Of Nc oil
and on account of its strange peculiarities
aud excellence of flavor we cannot help re-
garding it as peach that might be made to
work wonders in peach culture for Texas. 1t
is SO very hardy and so much at home at
any place where chance happens to establish
it that one often hears it called "the wild
peach"
Doubtless this little peach might be vastly
improved in size lit needs no improvement
in favor, by cultivation and selection. The
very little variation that we have found In
il leads Us 10 regard it as q peach that could
be safely depended upon 10 come true from
seed. While we have never studied it in
blossom, not having had our attention at
tracted to it until we saw it in fruit this
season, we are inclined TO the opinion that
it does not blossom simultaneously with
the other kinds, and hence is not exposed
70 variation from crosses.
Old Texans 10 whom we have referred
the little peach under consideration, say
lit has been here always" and has always
managed to come of itself, as no one has
ever thought of planting its seeds. They
have considered it merely larger peach
run OUT but in this they have been mis-
maken. True, it may have gone down ez-
tensively from lis original quality, on ac-
count of neglect, but il is not from the
ordinary larger peaches. Il is a strain all
TO itself, and as such should receive our at
teation with q view TO building upon it an
important acquisition for Texas il the
peach line.
