fractional currency The proposition of
Senator Hale to that end will meet with
almost universal appreciation. The pres

unwieldy. There would practically be no
difference in the matter of safety in send

lin Escape for sehooi buildings.

A novel system Of are escape for school
buildings has been suggested by Capt Rea-
gan, assistant chief of the Boston fire depart
ment. which upon its face looks a. il IL might
prove OF considerable practical value His
idea Is 10 utilize the large yard AREA to be
found about nearly every school house in
Boston and erect an ornamental iron tower a
short distance frum the building
This tower would contain a broad iron
staircase leading from the top 70 the ground
From each aoor OF the school house a COW
erred bridge would lead into the tower. and
the door leading from the school room 10 the
bridge would be kept unlocked during school
hours. The rooms on each floor would con-
meet with each other. and in case of fire the
scholars could have unobSfructed access to
the bridge. by such an arrangement, when
ever fire broke ouf there would always be
an egress open. and even II matters became
serious. the iron tower and bridges would
remain unhAr4lsssi. The plan appears TO bs
perfectly feasible, and the expense would, 1t
Is said, not be much mora than what l. laid
out ON ths present fire escapes. And we
should think the same plan might be adopted
for factories and other buildings where num-
bers Of persons are employed on tho differena
doors of the building. Fire and Water.

We boldly assert that all American
china and glazed crockery ware is en-
ameled with preparation consisting
largely OF the red oxide of lead, or as /. is
commonly known, litharge. This salt Of
lead is very soluble in the fat acids, es-
pecially in butyric acid. All fatty foods
contain this acid, and when, from the
frequent alternate expansion and contrac-
tion of the enamel or glazing on the vsss.-
ous dishes and plates we use ON the table,
cracks have formed, the butyric acid in
sinuates itself under the enamel, takes up
the lead, and with the food on the plate Is
taken into the stomach, where, being a
cumulative poison, 1t insidiously poisons
the system. Do not let us deceive our
selves by thinking that the quantity OF
the lead is small, but remember that the
quantity of lead set free by carbonic acid
in the water running through lead pipe
is still less, and yet no less authority than
Professor Chandler has proven that much
lead poisoning is due 10 othis.-American

Ohhand, we should say that washing

Woe betide the person that dares to wash
