Poisons in Toy Candies.

The following letter on arsenical poi
soning through green candles was con-
.ributed to The Times in March. 1888,
by Major Leadbetter. chief constable Of
Denbighshire:
A curious case came under my notice
lately which. think. is of public value.
A chiIdren's party and Christmas tree
resulted in most Of the little people and
many of the older ones being seized
with symptoms Of mineral poisoning.
The fact of several who were present
who had not partaken of food or liquid
of any kind beng in the number Of those
affected directed my attention to the col
ored candles on the tree.
These | had examined by the county
analyst. Mr. Lowe, of Chester. whose
report is to the effect that the green can
dies were colored with arsenical green
to the extent that every eight candles
would contain one grain of arsenious
anhydrite. He further reports that the
red candles were colored with vermilion.
There is no doubt, therefore, that We
have not further to seek for an explana-
ton of the sympt ums-a crowded room
with the atmosphere charged with ar
senical and mercurial fumes sufficiently
accounting for it. 1t is only fair to state
that learn the candles were not Of Eng
lish manufacture and were bought with
the TOYS

Great CONSERVATION, followed by Wild
laughter. vas an innovation of the chapel
exercises at the penitentiary not long
ago. 1t was occasioned by possum
prayer from old Nose Allen. a South
Carolina negro with one leg, who was
dreaming of Thanksgiving day. Chap
lain Dudley opened the prayer meeting
as usual, and prisoners followed briefly
When all heads7were bowed in reverence
old Nose j1.lnped at the opportunity and
delivered the following prayer:
Dear beloved brudderin and sister'n,

ter rchu Il. dis yer beautiful Sabbot morn

Chaplain Dudley stood ashast at the
conclusion of the prayer. a moment
afterward the chapel re-echoed the wild
and wicked shouts of the prisoners. For
about FIVE minutes CONSERVATION reigned.

Physical Culture in women's Colleges.

Physical Culture in Women's Colleges.
The whole answer to the question, Is
the health of the average young woman
equal to the successful prosecution Of
the work of a college course? may be
given in the briefest terms as follows:
The first duty of the college authorities
is to give just as careful physical ex-
animation for original entrance as their
examination into the applicants scholar
ly proficiency, and their next duty, the
applicant having been admitted, is to see
that her advapcement is symmetrical,
and that she is led across the threshold
of mature womanhood as well equipped
by reason of bodily strength and devel-
opment as by that of intellectual and
moral development for the full enjoy
ment of life's pleasures, tasks and varl-
Gus wholesome activities.
In the future the question whether or
not a young woman's health is quite
safe at college will be absurd upon its
face. It will be absurd because one of
the definitions of a womans college w''l
be: a place where the health of young
women is sedulously and scientifically
guarded. and where her physical strength
and well being are Systematically devel-
oped. Tangible progress toward this
ideal has been made within very few.
years, but as yet we have only a begin
ring.-Review of Reviews.

Feminine Perfection.

The people Of Montana seem to have
precipitatcd an unexpected discussion as
to feminine perfection. Dir. Sargent. of
the Harvard gymnasium. has measured
nearly 10000 women who were perfect
as to health, strength and general devel-
opnent. but his reSul.s were NOT such
that he IS willing to affirm that there is
snch,a thing as a perfect feminine hs-
ure." He took as his standard the aver.
ags of each of the measurements made
for the whole 10000, and then compared
the lines Of each with that Each was
found to-vary in some ways. some more
than others. but al in marked degree.
1t was Pennsylvania young woman
who carried away the prize which was
offered for coming the nearest to phys
ical perfection.-Boston Journal.
