Cases of poison due TO meat which
seemed thoroughly wholesome hay,
sometimes occurred and have remained
unexplained. In the Revue div.
agiene Nj. bourreier, inspector of meal
lor tue town OF Paris. makes a valu
aDle suggestion. He describes his ex.
peTments with meat impregnated with
tobacco smoke. Some thin slices oil
beef were exposed for considerable
l%pe to the fumes of tobacco. and af.
terward offered to a dog which had
been deprived of food for twelve
hours. The dog, after smellino tbe
meat refused to eat it. Some of the
meat was then cut into small pieces
ana concealed within bread. This the
dog ate with avidity but in twenty
minutes commenced to display the
most distressing symptoms, and soon
died IN great agony.
All sorts of meat, both raw and
cooked, some grilled, roasted and boil
ed, We're exposed to tobacco smoke and
then given to animals, and in all cases
produced symptoms of acute poison
ing. Even the process of boiling could
not extract from, the meat the nicotine
poisoning.
Grease and similar substances have
facilities of absorption in proportion
With their fineness and fuidity. Thus
the FATS most readily influenced by
tobacco are, in their respective order
the fat of horsefesh. of pork, of veal
OF beef and finally of mutton. flashed
meat IS, of course, more readily affect
ed than large pieces thus, few puffs
OF smoke directly projected on to sau-
sage meat will give it a characteristic
ana unpleasant taste. The juices of
meat are equally dangerous. The Juice
squeezed out of some veal perfectly
saturated with tobacco smoke was in
Jected into rabbit, and death resulted
IN few moments. Fresh killed meat
Is more readily impregnated, and
stands IN order of susceptibility as fol-
lows: Pork, veal, rabbit, poultry.
beef, mutton, horse The effect also
varies considerably according to the
quality of the tobacco. and the end of
cigar or pipe has the most iniuri-
Gus effect on any meat that may be
exposed close to the smoker. A few
lets OF smoke from Belgian tobacco on
a dish OF raspberries will suffice to de
stroy the delicate flavor of the fruit,
and to render it UNBEATABLE. All these
experiments would seem to denote
that great care should be taken not to
allow smoking where foods, especially
moist foods, such as meats, fats and
certain fruits, are exposed. Lancet.

Ancient Egyptian Flora.

The national museum of Egyptian
antiquities at Bulak contains a very
interesting collection of plants which
have been found in the catacombs and
Sepulchral monuments of the country.
Dr. Schwelnfurth was the first to study
this ancient flora, which contains no
example Of plant that does not grow
today in the Nile valley. Nor does the
most minute exarlination show the
least difference between the vereta-
ton that flourished fifty centuries ago
and that of the present time. In some
cases the color of the flowers can be
clearly distinguished, as, for instance.
tae purple lackspur, the red poppy,
the reddish brown saffron and the blue

The leaves of the watermelon con-
tam grains of chlorophyll perfectly
visible in the microscope All these
were found in great numbers in the
burial places Of the fifteenth dynasty
5000 years B. O., and in one tomb of
the same time some ears of barley. In
later monuments were discovered
mustard, flax, cucumbers lentils, pine
cones, juniper berries, dates. hollv-
hooks, chrysanthemums, figs. olives
onions and grapes. Around the necks
and upon the breasts of the mummies
of HOO B. Q. were garlands of celery
leaves and blue lotus flowers. In re-
gard to the various specimens Of grain
discovered, it may be added that no at

succeeded, the plants having been sub
Jected to great heat at the time of
embalming and burial, which, while
