Arsenic, SO deadly in acute poisoning,
is also greatly dangerous to those who
use it i'll their daily work. Much cheap
wall paper is colored with arsenic
Chronic poisoning by 1t in its earlier
stages is particularly disagreeable. The
eyes, nose and throat are inflamed SO
that tho patient continually complains
of having cold In his head. A cold in
the head was not one Of the ten plagues
inflicted upon the Egyptians-probably
because they had done nothing to de.
serve such terrible infiction.
As arsenical poisoning progresses The
person suffering with it is salivated. He
shows nervous symptoms; his limbs may
be numb, or, on the other hand, painfully
awake to the slightest sensation. He
faints, he has commissions, he dies of e1-
haustion.-New York World.

What the Interpreter Found Out.

A strange looking man was placed in
the dock charged with being drunk and in
capable. When addressed by the magis-
trates he mumbled some incoherent moth
ings and stared vaeantly about the court
One Of the justices, suggesting that the
man was a foreigner, spoke to him in Ger
man, but this the accused did not seem to
understand.
1t was then decided, as no interpreter
was present, to send to another court for u
well known warrant officer who speaks five
European tongues. On his arrival this
officer endeavored to make the prisoner
understand his position, trying him with
sentences in several different languages,
but all to no purpose, until he finally came
to the conclusion that the man must be
English. He then put the simple question,
Are you an Englishman" and amid a
| roar Of laughter came the answer, Yes"
The accused, it afterward transpired, had
a slight impeachment in his speech, and was
| also a trllle deaf.-London Tit-Bita

Long engagements are calling, like any
other chain. There may be circumstances
which justify them, but they are eAcep-
tioual circumstances, and we are only deal
ing with things as they generally exist.
The woman almost always is the chief
sufferer. Her wrong il immeasurably
greater. She struggles along the weary
years of waitin: in IL false position, and by
and by her bloom fades and her temper
sours, and then Tom secs somebody younger
and frcsher and more attractive, and he is
weary of Mary, and the engagement is
broken and he marries his new love, and
Mary either marrirs out of pique some one
old enough to be her grandfather or else
she subsidies into nm old raaid, and so her
life is wrecked, and all because of n long
engagement.-Ludgate Weekly,
