PoIsonine bv Tinned Food.

Some light is thrown by The Lancet
upon the mysterious cases of poisoning
by timed food which from time TO time
are reported. They are believed to be
due to neglect Of the caution against
eating timed foods that have been ex-
posed TO the air for some time after be-
ing opened The exact manner in which
poisonous substances, technically known
as "ptomaines, are generated so rapid
" is not known with certainty, but the
fact that they are produced in sufficient
quantity TO cause very grave symptoms
of poisoning have been brought out in q
multitude of instances. IN one we'll
known case the first half Of thecontents
of tin Of lobster was consumed with
no III effect, nut the rest few days aft
erward proved extremely poisonous. 1t
is suggested that rs safeguard manu-
facturers might label the tins with some
such notice rs "The contents of this tin
are perfectly wholesome when eaten
fresh from the tin and afford good
food, but the public is advised not to
expose the contents for any length of
time to the injurious influences Of the
atmosphere. {" The Lancet writer even
goes so far as to suggest that some such
warning might be insisted on by the
legislature London News.

fourth year, but she still enjoys clear,
strong mind and fairly vigorous body
and is almost as fond of literary labor
as she was three. quarters Of a century
ago. She was born in Kent, England,
and belongs to family famous for an
thorship Her sisters Agnes and Eliza
beth Strickland were the authors of that
famous work, "The Lives Of the Queens
of England, and at the death Of Agnes
the copyright Of the book passed into
her possession.
The Stricklands were also people OF
note in the north Of England for cen
turtles. and Catharine Parr, the sixth
and last wife of Henry VIII, was
member of the family, it is said. Cath
arine Parr Strickland Trail was named
after this queen. She lived for some
time at Region Hall, fine old Eliza
bethan mansion near Wangford, the title
deed of which dates back to Edward VI
The hall was ivy clad and had numerous
secret passageways and several alleged
ghosts. Her father knew many of the
prominent authors and scientists OF the
day, and Catharine's literary tendencies
became apparent at very early age
Her father died in 1918, and she was
cared for by her sisters Elizabeth and
Agnes and later by a guardian, who
happened one day to read manuscript
she had written. 1t was called 1.-THE
Blind Highland Piper and Other Tales. !"
The stories pleased him so well that he
showed them to a London publisher,
who gave her guineas for them and
brought them out in book form in 1919.
Book followed book. and one Of her
early productions, Little Downy, the
! Field Mouse, published in 1922, still
has sale. In 1882 she married Thorn
as Trail, a British officer, and the
young couple removed to Canada and
settled at Peterborough, near Lakefield,
the authors present home. In 1886 Mrs.
Trail published "The Backwoods OF
Canada, . a book that did much to slim

business until the beginning of the war.

army and saw a great deal Of active
service. Gallant conduct ON the field
won for him the epaulets of a briga-

Thomas attempted to resume sugar
planting ON a profitable scale, bat the
war had dealt the business such blow
that his venture was failure.
He then became professor IN the
University Of Louisiana at Baton Rouge
and during President Cleveland's first
administration was appointed a eoiner
at the mint at New Orleans. He held
this position for time after the inau-
guration of President Harrison and then
