PoIsoNs OF THE KITCHEN.
Some Things That Should Be Closely
Watched by All Housewives.

In face of the frequent accounts of acci-
dental poisoning the following facts may
prove both interesting and useful. in tho
first place, all copper vessels should be
retinned directly the surface shows signs
of being worn. Neither acid, salt nor fatty
bodies will attack we'll cleaned copper vess
sells. Vinegar may be even boiled in them
with safety, but should 1t be allowed to
cool in-the vessels twill dissolve enough
copper to become dangerous. The advan-
tage in copper poisoning is that one of the
first symptoms Is vomiting-that is to say,
: the poison is rejected from the system. e
Zinc, though it conoeafs itself SO often
under the;name of galvanized iron, - is
still b orc dangerous than copper. No acid
foods or liquids should ever be allowed to
remain in galvanized vessels Lead from
culinary point of view, is the least to be
recommended of all the metals, as it pol
sons slowly without producing vomiting
while tin; iron, steel and nickel arc, prao-
tically harmless.
But it is not only these vessels used in
preparing food which are dangerous. Many
foodsstH them selves are legitimate objects
of suspicion. For instance, the potato be-
comes unfit for food when it has COM
menced to germinate or when 1t is green
air while growing The green parts and
the eyes contain an undoubted poison,
which has sharp taste and is capable of
producing paralysis or even death. At
the end of the winter many pigs are I'M
healthy through having been fed on these
green potatoes or on potatoes from which
the eyes containing the germs have not
been carefully cut
Mushrooms should always be carefully
verified by person thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their peculiarties Some cooks
put silver coin with them when cooking
If the coin turns black, they reject the
mushrooms. This Is really no test at all,
as many of the poisonous fungi will not
blacken silver. All animal food in an adj
vanced state of decomposition is more or
less poisonous. For this reason timed
fish is never to be trusted, as the fish are
often stale when timed. Smokers espe-
cially should be careful, as their taste is
often not SO fine as that of a nonsmoker,
and they are consequently less likely to de-
tect tin of doubtful fish. Mussels, again,
are always poisonous, although the seat
and nature of the poison have never been
discovered. -Philadelphia Press.

Telegraphing with Steam whistle.

While Edison, then boy, was living in
Port Huron he found ono of those oppor-
tunities to distinguish himself that seem
to DO always falling in the way of some
men. The anecdote is related in 1.-The
Life and Inventions of Edison, recently
published.
1t was near the end of an exceptionally
severe winter, and the leo had formed in
such masses as to sever the cable between
Port Huron and tho Canadian city of
Sarnia. The river mile and a half wide,
was impossible, and multitudes of people
were greatly Inconvenience.
Edison, who had just learned to tele-
graph, saw way out of the difficulty.
Jumping upon q railway engine, he began
to whistle in the rhythmic cadences of the
Morse alphabet:
"Hullo, Sarnial Sarnia do you get
what says"
No answer.
Again and again the short and the long
toots shaped themselves into the dots and
dashes of telegraphy, and finally some one
ON the other side became alive to their
meaning. The answer came back, clear
and CHEEKY, and communication between
the two cities was resumed.

FANEUlL HALL.
The Old Cradle of Liberty, the Pride of the
Club

~t.- "Hub."
Faneuil hall, the old Cradle of LIB
erty," was presented to the town of Bos-
ton by Peter Faneuil for the free use of
the people. 1t was completed in Septem-
Der, 1742, and was 100 feet long and 40
feet WIDE only half its present width, but
large for those days. Three days after its
completion 1t was formally accepted in
public meeting and a vote of thanks
passed to tho donor. 1t was also voted
that the hall should 90 called Faneuil hall
forever Peter Faneuil died six months
after, and his funeral eulogy was, the first,
public oration delivered in the hall.
MAY liberty always spread her joyful
wings over this place, said Master Lowell
of the Latin school in his grafton. 1t was
a prophecy; but, sad to say, the prophet
afterward turned Tory and left Boston
when it was evacuated by the British.
The interior of tho hail was destroyed by
fro In 1868, but the town Immediately
voted to repair the damage. The first
gathering on tho day of the Boston tea
party was held here, but the hall was too
adjourned to the Old South church.
During tho siege of Boston the hall was
turned into a theater by the British. The
merchants CT the city gave Lafayette
dinner here in 1854. In 1906 the hall was
enlarged from 40 to 50 feet in width, and
a third story was added. The hall is still
used for public meetings and is also used
as the rendezvous of the Ancient and Hon
orable Artillery company, whose history
dates back to 673.-Boston Traveller

iSpeclsI Correspondence
BOSTON. May eff I were asked To
put into words the impression Boston pro
duces on my mind, 80 said "a shrewd, soft
hated western man, with whom 1 dined
here yesterday, Il should say that, as COM
pared with New York, Chicago or even
Washington, Boston appears to me like a
toy city. OF the four towns have men
toned, each OF which certainly represents
u distinct phase of American life, / should
say that Chicago gives me the strongest
impression OF size. and that regardless of
the fact that Chicago i. in fact, very big
place. / do Dut caro- 4 straw about the
claims of New YORK urd Chicago concern
ing their population. Everybody knows
that there are more people clustered about
the mouth of the Hudson than anywhere
else on this continent. but all the same
Chicago always seems "a much larger city
TO my eyes than New York, and I suppose
that il is the broad and long streets stretch
ing away with interruption or deviation
for miles and furnishing the eye with
seemingly endless vistas that produces
that impression. In New York you see
long streets running north and south, but
in many cases the inequalities Of the sur
face Of the ground break the view, and
when you look east or west in nearly every
part Of the town the streets are seen 70
come to abrupt examinations at the banks
Of the rivers.
Now, Of course l know that Boston i
much larger than Washington, but Wash
ington has the long street reaches. It's dis
tances are indeed apparently magnificent,
and so the city appears much larger 10 me
than it really * Boston streets are mar
row and crooked, and il is the latter more
than the former that makes the town look
like toy city. 1t is impossible for the eye
10 roam far without bringing up against
a brick or stone wall. The narrowncss OF
the streets makes il necessary that the side
walks should be narrow adding TO the i'm
preston Of lttlencSS, and, curiouSly
enough, the stone blocks with which the
streets are paved are, a rule, smaller in
Boston than any have seen in other cities.
/ had about made up my mind as to the
tOylike appearance OF the town on my first
visit here. - the westerner continued.
when 1 ran up against that curious little
old structure, the old statehouse, with its
central spiral staircase. think that is
the most exquisite bit of dignified toy
impression of the stranger who has already
come To consider the town in the light of a
municipal plaything.
Il want to qualify all this the west
ern man concluded, by saying that who
ever allows any such mental impression as
have described to make him consider
Boston people in the light of lilliputians,
in any sense, makes n very great mistake.
Boston is big town, a busy town and n
town OF serious purpose, and its inhabit
ants broad minded and pleasant to know.
There i another point upon which Bos-
