A Charade.

Never had earnest seeker
More zest in his employ,
Or right in his Eureka
To voice a purer JOY
Than had Champollion when
The hieroglyphic FIRST
My SECONDS mystery revealed
And with the clouds dispersed
Disclosed the store OF hidden lore
The buried rocks OF Egypt bore.
NV WHOLE cements the castle walls
Without its aid the structure falls
And from its proud. o'erarching height
Looks down in consciousness Of might
on either side the rocks upon
IL holds in firm embrace as one.

POISONS OF THE KITCHEN.

In the face of the frequent accounts Of
accidental poisoning, the following facts
may prove both interesting and useful. In
the first place, all copper vessels should be
retinued directly the surface shows signs of
being worn. Neither acid, salt nor fatty
bodies will attack well cleaned copper
vessels; vinegar may even be boiled in
them with safety, but should it be allowed
to cool in the vessels it will dissolve enough
copper to become dangerous The advant-
age i'll copper poisoning is that one of the
first symptoms is vomiting, that is to
say, the poison is rejected from the
system.
Zinc, though it conceals itself so often
under the name of galvanized ir0n,n is
still more dangerous than copper. No
acid foods or liquids should ever be allow
ed to remain in galvanized vessels. Lead
from culinary point of view, is the least
to be recommended of all the metals, as it
poisons slowly without vomiting, while tin
iron, steel and nickel ale practically harm
less.
But it is not only these vessels used in
preparing food which are dangerous, many
foods in themselves are legitimate objects
of suspicion. For instance the potato
becomes unfit for food when it has COM
menccd to terminate, or when it is green
from having been partially exposed to the
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 unhealthy
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 he carefully
verified by person thoroughly acquainted
with their peculiarities. Some cooks put
silver coin with them when cooking:
Ii the coin turns black they reject the
mushrooms. This is really no test, as
many of the poisonous fungi will not
blacken silver. All animal food in an
advanced 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 especially
should be careful. as their taste is often not
so fine as that of non smoker and they are
consequently less likely to detect a tin of
doubtful fish Mussels, again, are always
poisonous, although the seat and nature
of the poison have never been discovered.
