Prusslc Acid Not From Peach Stones.

The statement was made recently that
prussic acid was made from peach stones,
saws the st. Louis Globe Democrat. This
is altogether a mistake, for, although
under certain conditions trace OF tho
main principle OF the deadly poison can
be found in peach stones there is not
sufficient to produce the acid without
other essential ingredients. Indeed,
without the process Of fermentation,
there is no evidence at all Of prussic acid
in the stones. Prussic acid is composed
Of such things as animal refuse aud
blood solids, with large quantities of oil
of vitrol. Even the smell Of the acid
produces pain in the throat and in the
region of the heart, and there are few
poisons for which there is such little op-
portunity for an antidote. II there is
time, and there seldom Is, for the poison
is almost instantaneous IN its action,
ammonia inhaled very freely may give
relief and reduce the absolute certainty
OF death to a grave probability.

Deafness Often Csmsed by Neglect.

Deaf and dumb asylums, according II
DR.. A. NJ. Tanning, are filled with per-
sons who in early childhood completely
lost their hearing, and consequently their
ability to talk, through neglect OF their
ears during an attack of measles, scarlet
fever or diphtheris. Tue great majority
of all forms Of deafness result from al.
fections of the nose and throat, ana
many cases reach an advanced stage be-
fore being noticed. AmoDg long resi-
dents in the vicinity of New York it is a
rarity to fad a perfectly healthy nose
and throat, aud in recent experiment
in large eye aud ear hospital not more
than 6ye out Of twenty-five patients were
found to have perfect hearing. Care was
taken to select only those who had never
suffered from any defect OF hearing, yet
four ffths OF these patients were partially
deaf without suspectiug it. Boston Cul-
tiyator.

A MiSer'S Last Wish.

The Vienna correspondent OF toe Lon
don News tells the following story Of a
Rumanian miser: IA Greek died IN the
snail town OF Caracai, having always
lived on the aims of bis compatriot;.
Before dying he made his wife swear
that shc would bury him in the dirty OLD
overcoat which no wore every day. The
poor woman had to ask the Greeks OF
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
of the funeral. A good-hearted Greek
went to see her in her aitiiction, aud
pointing to the body said he would give
her better coat to bury the man in.
Then she told him of the dead mans
last wish. The Greek, whose suspi.
cions were awakened, told her that she
should certainly not part with the body
before she had well examined the coat,
Tor there must be some particular reason
for the request. The widow unpicked
the lining of the overcoat and found
$1,000 in bank notes which the miser
wished to take to the grave with him.
