Arsenic In Cotton Prints.

The very considerable uneasiness
which not long since prevailed in the
public mind from the supposed free
use of arsenic by manufacturers in
the preparation of cotton prints has,
it would seem, been generally quiet
ed, and though it is true that large
proportion of such goods contain ar.
senic the quantity is so small as to
be practically harmless. Many of
the anilines, it is asserted, such as
ceruleine blue, aniline greens, etc.,
and many of the vegetable colors, are
fixed on calico with a salt of alum
ina and a solution of white arsenic
in glycerin or in a borax solution.
The reaction that takes place on
steaning the goods is double COM
pound of arsenic, alumina and color
ing matter, or, briefly, double arseni-
ate of alumina and dye. This com
pound constitutes the insoluhle
flake, which colors the fibers of the
cloth with more or less insoluble and
fast color. This at once removes any
danger in the wearing of the material.
Indeed it is asserted as a matter of
fact that aniline colors contain a con-
siderable excess of alumina, and this
is a preventive against the possible
presence of t1ncombined arsenic. In
extract alizarine colors the soluble
arseniate of alumina is in some in
stances added by manufacturers for
the purpose of giving to the colors a
greater degree of brightness, but on
steaming the insoluble compound is
obtained, as before described. New

Painted Senoritas.

After having heard SO much about
the beauty of the dark eyed, olive
tinted senoras and senoritas of South
America, it is startling to find their
natural charms obscured under
clouds and drifts of paint and pow
der, and that the enamels, cosmetics
and other French devices, which
seem to constitute the most impor-
tant articles of their toilets, have
rendered most of them positively
CHASTITY when seen by 1.-The garish

pearance while yet young in years.
Doubtless this pernicious paint habit
originated in the admiration which
these naturally sallow skinned peo-
pie entertain for the Saxon pink and

logic laws of contrast blends are at
tracted to brunettes as powerfully as
are the latter to their own opposites.

Choosing an Orpban Wifi

At the far end of Naples lies the
little church of Santa Maria Annun-
ziata, which, once q year, on the
Day Of Our Lady" wakes up into a
brief life and excitement. In asilent
row before the high altar kneel 80
girls, all i'll black garments, with fold
ed hands and eyes fixed on the pic
ture Of the madonna before them.
These are orphans from the neigh
boring founding asylum, and once a
year all those who have reached the
age of IS are brought here to the
church and may be chosen in mar
riage by any honest man whose pa
pers are in order and whose charac-
ter is good.
At the door leading to the sacristy
leans gray headed priest, the head
of the asylum. BY and by young
man makes his way from the back
door of the church and hands him a
little packet of papers. These the
priest reads carefully, and being evi-
IDENTIFY satisfied he gives back the
papers and leads the candidate to-
ward the row of girls. All their eyes
are fixed more steadily than ever on
the altar; all their hands are clasped
tighter together; their faces turn a
shade paler; their hearts beat quicker
as the young man walks slowly along
the row. At last he stops. His choice
is made.
The girl rises, casts a long look
half thanks, half entreaty-at the
picture of the madonna, puts her
hand into that of the stranger, and
together they disappear into the sac
risty.-Boston Transcript.

A FRIGHTFUL WRECK.
Not Woman Was Saved. and the Specta.
Gle Was Appalling.

Not Woman Was Saved, and the Specta-
Gle Was Appalling.
Perhaps the most frightful wreck
on the American coast was that of
the White Star steamship Atlantic
at Marr's island, near Halifax. at 2
o'clock in the morning of March 81,
1873. Five hundred and sixty per-
1shed out of total of 979 persons.
The disaster was so tremendous
that the newspapers at first regarded
the news as an attempt to perpetrate
a cruel April fool hoax.
Without the slightest warning the
steamer struck on a rock. The sea
carried away the port boats. Before
the weather boats could be cleared
the ship rolled over. The sounds
that arose from below decks were
soul stirring. Most of the women
and children were down there in the
darkness wailing pitifully.
The captain ordered the passengers
to climb into the rigging and to
crowd forward where the wreck was
highest and out of reach of the
waves. The officers of the ship got
line to rock about 40 yards dis
tant and then managed to get four
other lines across. About 200 people
managed to reach the rock. Be
tween the rock and the shore was a
gulf Of about 300 feet and a rope was
stretched over this. Fifty persons
reached the island and aroused the
inhabitants, who furnished boats
and took the half frozen survivors
from the rock. Those who still chung
to the side of the ship and the rig
ging were also rescued.
Not a woman was saved. The
first officer held one woman in the
rigging until she froze to death
and was left there, half nude, with
protruding eyes and foamy lips, the
CHASTITY spectacle being rendered
more terrible by the splendid jewels
which sparkled on her hands. A boy
who hung onto the icy rigging near
the dying woman was washed away,
but he managed to reach a boat.
The last man in the rigging was the
first officer, who was saved through
the heroic efforts of the Rev. Mr..
Ancient.
Many of the passengers, saloon
and steerage, died in the rigging
from cold and fright. The sea washed
away the women and children, and
the shore of the island was soon
thickly strewn with the dead. The
natives plundered the bodies and
mutilated the hands of the women
in order to get their rings.
One woman was seen in the waves
holding two children while third
had its little arms around her neck.
She went down almost instantly,
and the loud, passionate cry of the
poor mother as she sank with her lit
tie ones could be heard all over the
wreck.-New York Herald.

Siamese Gambling.

A Siamese will stake money on
anything. Licensed gambling houses
exist in the cities and are large
source of income to the government,
which farms out the monopoly. Aroy-
al lottery is extensively patronized
in Bangkok The gambling houses
and the pawnshops, which are their
corollary, and which are stocked
with objects pawned or stolen, are a
disgrace to the capital. In some
streets every other house is a pawn
shop, kept by a Chinaman. Fort
