Poison in Oriental Runa.

must be understood that these flounces
and rutfles are never ON the skirt, but
under the gown itself, or else on the
underskirt always so arranged as TO
hold out the skirt but not as part Of

are, as has been the fashion for some
years, most costly and elaborate in
material and trimming. but there are
several new styles says Harpers Ba-

TOY PISTOLS ARE FATAL.
Some Reasons Why This Favorite
Plaything Of the Fourth Is
Dangerous to Life.

The mortality from the toy pistol is
appalling. and the death from 1t. which
is by lockjaw, is horrible. In Chicago
in one July those dying from this
cause numbered so and in another "a.
In New York city three consecutive
fourth Of Julys yielded SO such deaths.
That the tetanus bacillus which
causes lockjaw is not present in the
powder o. wad of the toy pistol cart
ridge has been shown by Wells Of Chi
cago, who examined 200 Of them; the
Boston health officers, WAC examined
$50; and army officers, who tested SIS.
Therefore the microbes Of the disease
are on the skin and are driven into the
wound made by the pistol.
That they are on the hands of the
jollifying boy is not surprising, for
their sports abound in many soils and
especially about stables. This germ is
harmless while exposed to the air, but
nlultiplies and rapidly produces its
virulent poison when given warmth
and moisture where air is excluded.
On this account all accidents from ex-
ploding powder should be disinfected
by a doctor and should not be wrapped
