It has been found that iodoform is dangerous drug to use on large open surfaces and wounds. Several cases of amputations were dressed with large amounts of iodoform, and later the patients developed delirium and died. The deaths were attributed to shock, although they did not occur for from five to six days after the opera tions. It has recently been discovered that the iodoform dressings were the cause of death.

A number of deaths have recently occurred in Rochester, N. r., from ptomaine poisoning from canned oys- ters. "Ptomaines" are the poisons generated by germs of bacteria.

London Christian.

The movement for Sunday closing
OF public houses in England is assum-
ing a busness-like aspect. One Of the
clfief obstacles has been the compara-
tive Indifference of members of the An
glican Church to the reform. This
should now be greatly modified by
the warm advocacy Of many Of the
leading bishops, as well as Of the
Archbishop Of Canterbury.
The working classes are enormously
supposed to be hostile to the move.
nent. About a million hOuseholders
have already been canvassed, the re-
suit showing a majority Of seven to
one in favor of Sunday closing. Even
more striking is the result Of canvass
OF fifty-siX workshops, containing over
1000 men. OF these, 10000 declared
themselves In favor of Sunday closing,
with 100 against and 514 neutral. A
majority even of publicans have de-
clared against the present CUSTOM"

Red is the nuptial color in China.
The coolies that carry the bride in
her litter are dressed in red, and they
bear a dwarf orange tree loaded with
fruit and coin. The brides cOmpart'
ments are finished in red trimmings,
presents are carried on red trays, the
banners borne in the procession are
originally crimson, which are bright
ened by the rosy glow of the Ian
terms. The canopy itself is decorated
according to the wealth and the taste
of the brides family. A poor woman
is carried to her wedding feast in a
plain chair painted red. If the family
has wealth or rank the palanquin is
very ornate, decorated with dragon
heads. The Chinese skill in working
silk or gold cord is displayed in an
artistic manner. When the bride ap-
pears she wears u red veil, and the
letters to her ancestors, whose bless
ing is invoked, are written on red
paper. The bride generally wears a
crown adorned with tinSel and mock
jewels-an idea which is much more
prevalent in Sweden.-Woman's Home

A Geographical Recess Game.


There must be leader, some one
who is "prety good in geography and

seated, and the leader takes his place
in front of them and tells them that he
is going to give them ths name of a
state and letter of the alphabet, and
is then going to count five slowly
While he is counting five, all the
players must be trying to think of a
city or town in the state he called,
whose name begins with the given let
ter. For example: Suppose he gives
Maine as the state, and T as the letter,
then the players must all try to think
of city or town in Maine the name ce
which begins with the letter F. 1t is
necessary for them all to do the think
ing. for he has right to ask any one
of them for the answer, and they
never know which one of them it is 60
ing to be.
When he has received a correct an
swer he may ask another player to
name some other town beginning with
the same letter, or he may change the
letter two or three times. Then he
names some other state, and continues
the game as long as it interests the
players.
If the game is played at home, or by
a little company of boys and girls, a
prize should be offered for the most
correct answers.-New York Herald.

songs are rather weird and mournful
though always harmonious. At night
the voices rise in sharp, nasal tones

One Cow Skin. 7

An instance Of military thrift and
of a red-tape system which is not pc
culiar to Germany comes from the
Prussian war Office. In 1866 the
guards were breakfasting hurriedly.
They had, on the previous day, fought
the battle of Soor, and had accom-
pllshed, altogether, nine days
march. This was not the era Of can
ned meats, and to each regiment had
been allotted certain number OF cat
tie, which had been killed, skinned
and cooked; but while the men were
still eating, scouts came in with the
news that the Austrians were near at
hand.
The men got into marching order,
and in a few minutes were in rapid
advance toward the enemy. The
Grenadier Guards, conspicuous a.
ways for their dispatch, hurried to
such purpose that they failed to Sc
cure the skin of cow which had
been made over to- them for rations.
When the official who was respon.
sible for the value Of the hide came
to ask for it, it had to be reported
missing. Inquiries were set on foot,
evidence was collected, and vol
luminous correspondence lasting four
teen or fifteen months failed to &C.
count for the skin.
There had been cow. She had
been made over to the guards. She
had a hide. The hide was govern
ment property, representing a sum
fixed by official tariff. The govern
ment must be credited with that sum.
The hide was not forthcoming. Who
should be responsible for Its cash
value?
It was at last decided that the col
onel of the regiment should be held
accountable, and a year and a hall
after the conclusion OF the Seven
Weeks War he was requested by the
war office to remit the sum OF three
thalers, the price of one cow skin lost
bv the Grenadier Guards. When the
sum was paid, the subject was at last
officially dropped.
