POISONOUS POTATOES.
An Alkaloid Called Solanine Does Great
Damage Sometimes.

An Alkaloid Called Solanine Does Great
Damage Sometimes.
1t is not very rare to see serious &C.
cidents happen by poisoning from the
use of potatoes in places where food is
supplied by contract, as in schools, pris-
ons and barracks, and establishment is
expressed that this precious and highly
estimated food stuff should be capable
of doing so much damage. 1t is we'll to
know that the potato, even when abso-
lutely sound, contains certain amount
of vegetable alkaloid called solanine.
The remarkable point is that this SOL
anime is much more abundant i'll sum-
mer than in winter; whereas it amounts
to .044 per kilogram from November
to February, it reaches the figure of 236
in July and August. This evil would
not be very great if the production of
the alkaloid were not still further in
creased by the process of termination
and putrefaction of the potato. The use
of potatoes deteriorated in this way may
give rise to cases of poisoning character
lied by vomiting, diarrhea, fever, di-
lated pupils, commissions and profuse
sweating.
1t is usually in the months of June
and July that these accidents occur, at
the moment when the potatoes of the
preceding year have begun to terminate
and rot. The contractors of the above
mentioned establishments send these po-
tatoes there, since they have no longer
any marketable value, because the new
potatoes are already large and reduced
in price.
1t is therefore necessary to watch
these supplies i'll most careful manner
and to refuse potatoes that show any
black or softened spots or that have be-
gun to terminate. As a general thing
potatoes used in eating should be as
fresh as possible. Paris Herald.

Birds as Seed Carriers.

Two centuries ago the Dutch destroy
ed every nutmeg tree in the Moluccas
in order to enjoy monopoly of the
business, having planted the trees in
their own possessions. In spite Of their
most earnest efforts, however, the ISL
ands were constantly being restocked.
For long time the thing was a mys-
terry, but at length 1t was solved.
The doves of that quarter of the
world are Of large size, and readily
swallow the seeds of the nutmeg.
They traversed wide stretches of sea
and land In q few hours, and deposit
the seeds not only unlnjured, but better
fitted for termination by the heat and
moisture of the birds system.
BY a similar process thousands of
acres of land have been covered with
trees of different kinds, the birds act
ing as natures agents in the dissent
nation of plants.
Darwin found in six grains of earth
adhering to the feet of plover three
different kinds of seeds, and in mud
sticking to the feet of ducks and geese
shot in England he found the seeds OF
plants peculiar to the Victoria Nyanza,
In Central Africa, thus proving not only
the extent Of migration, but also the
possibility of plants appearing in
strange localities through the agency OF
these birds.
In the mud sticking to the feet of O
Texas steer the seeds of five different
kinds Of weeds and grasses common tC
Texas were found by microscopes
after the arrival Of the animal In New
York.

A Fatal Omelet.

Ignorance of cooking is not often the
direct cause Of a mans death, but such
an instance is related by Miss Edith
Lichel in recent volume entitled,
"The Story of Two Salons. In the
time of the French revolution one M.
Oondoroet, upon whose head as an aris-
tocrat price was set, sought refuge
with a friend, NJ Suard, who babe him
return at nightfall, when means of es.
cape would be provided.
Unhappily Condorcet, being unable
to exist without tobacco, went into q
tavern to buy some, Still PROSTATE from
fatigue, he thought he would take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to get some
dinner and ordered an omelet
"How many eggs do you wish to be
used?" inquired the landlord, who had
been eying him suspiciously. The inno-
cent Condorcet was at his wits end. He
reflected on the size of the ordinary
omelet
Twelve" he boldly replied.
His fate was sealed. None but an
aristocrat could be so ignorant or SO ex-
travagant. He was arrested and led
away to prison, from which he never
emerged.

TAKING CARE OF BANK BILLS.
soiIed Notes Not AZ Common &c Sew
eral Years Ago.


eraI Years Ago.
Bank notes are cleaner than they used
to be. 1t Is the policy Of the New York
banks to send their soiled notes to the
United States treasury to be destroyed
as soon as a sufficient number accumu-
lates to justify 1t. Banks in the West
send on whole patches of sOiled New
York notes TO their correspondents in
this city, and the bank that receives
them sorts them out and sends round
each little batch to the banks by which
they were issued. These sorted notes
are then sent to the treasury to be de-
stroyed and others issued in their place.
New York is thus a sort OF depot for
solled and damaged notes of its own Is
sue. The printing process for bank
notes has been so developed of late
years that the government has adopted
this policy of frequently destroying
soiled notes and reissuing good ones.
The Bank of England never let's
note go out a second time. Its lowest
notes are for IS, so that the loss per
pound Is comparatively small In thus
destroying little-used notes. Some, In
deed, come into the bank as fresh in
appearance as when they were issued.
A note coming in Is marked for de-
struction and laid away for a time.
Meanwhile the name and address of
the presenter are taken, along with
the number Of the note, In order that
there may be some clew in case such
a note is reported as stolen.
1t is not suspected how important an
element In a banks profit on circula-
ton Is the destruction and loss of notes
in the hands of holders. This was
much larger in days when reissues
were less frequent than now. The
larger the amount a bank may Issue
the greater the loss In the hands of the
people. A bank of this city that aban-
doned its circulation before the open
ing Of the civil war yet has many thou
sands Of its old notes out They were
outlawed years ago, though $4,000 OF
them presented about ten years age
were fully identified and redeemed
The whole issue of the bank was only
about $250,0O0.
Although the average life of Banl
of England note is said to be but five
days-and one seldom encounters a
soiled Bank of England note in Lon
don-those notes circulate for years
in the colonies, for they are takeI
abroad by travellers and are curren
almost everywhere. They circulate
along with our notes, in the regions
bordering British Guiana. There ar
Scotch and Irish banks Of issue emit
ting small notes, and these notes ar
often greasy and worn, since they ar
not regularly destroyed when the.
reach the home bank. Canadian banl
notes are current along our northern
border, and they are sufficiently Xix
our own, being In dollar denomina
lions, to deceive those not accustome,
to make the distinction. They ar
often kept long In circulation on tn
border, and are occasionally worke

Honorable Chinese.

Captain Younghusband, in his book,
1.-THE Heart of Continent" bears a
striking testimony to the honorable
spirit manifested by the Chinese colo
nists In Manchuria. He and his CON-
panions were travelling through
dense forest, where nothing could be
seen, and where life was made almost
uncomfortable by swarms of midgets,
mosquitoes and gadf1ies. At night, be-
cause there was no living out-of-doors,
they would put up at the hut of Chinese
sable-hunters.
Some Of the Chinese, whose huts
were found every twelve or fifteen
miles, were trapping sables, while 9th
ers were In search of the ginseng root,
which is greatly priced by the Chinese
for its supposed medicinal virtues. To
the Englishmen their life seemed a
hard one. The sable-trapping furnish
ed a measure of excitement, but as for
the ginseng hunters they would wan
der through the forest day after day,
and all day long, and were content If
they found one plant In the whole sea-
son. IL would be worth, perhaps, fif-
teen pounds.
At one point Captain Younghusband
noticed a clearing in the underground
near the trail, with small plant stand
ing by itself In the middle of 1t; and on
turning aside to investigate he found
the plant ginseng. One Of the Chinese
had discovered 1t, but as 1t was not
fully grown had cleared space about
1t and left 1t to mature. 1t was valu-
able enough to reward a hunter for a
full seasons labor, and it could have
been carried off with perfect ease, but
such is the honor Of the men that none
of them would think of touching 1t.
