hid himself in a cleft in a rock near at

but in some way found himself caught

In such way that he was unable to
extricate himself or help himself in
any way. 1t was not until he was

Typhoid From Milk.
The recent typhoid fever epidemic
at Ithaca, N. Y, shows how the wat
er supply Of a whole city may be pol.
lated. Now suppose that milk cans
are rinsed out in this water, and you
have an idea how the typhoid fever
germs might be transmitted to the
customer Of milk route. Nor is this
illustration without precedent. Sew
eral cases have been cited by author
tiles on the subject, in which milk
was thus contaminated.
Auto-intoxication is a condition
with which many persons are af-
fiicted without knowing its precise ma
ture.
Some folks are taken violently i'll
after the ingestion of Strawberries,
butter, peas, beans, crabs, or canned
asparagus. That is to say, they can
not eat any of these articles of diet
without experiencing very unpleasant
consequences, although they may con-
sumo every other kind of food with
impunity. Apples although generally
regarded as most wholesome, do not
agree with everybody.
But the dangers arising from auto
intoxication and idiosyncrasies are
not the only ones that threaten the
epicure. There is always q possibil-
ity OF mistaking poisonous fungi for
mushrooms. 1t is an old saying that
the best way to tell the difference be-
tween q poisonous fungus and 4 mush-
room is to eat tiff one lives II Is a
mushroom, II one dies it must have
been . to4dstool
1t is strange yet that some animals
develop immunity with reference to
certain poisons. For instance. It Is a
well known fact that hares and rabbits
feed upon the leaves Of the deadly
nightshade with impunity. In the
course Of time, however, a suf1cient
quantity of atropine is deposited in
their muscular tissues to poison any
this reason, 1t is advisable not to dine
upon rabbits in regions in which the
belladonna plant abounds.
Dodoinp Ptomaines.
The dangers Of eating tainted meat
are well illustrated by an occurrence
at Middleburg. Holland, where 25s
soldiers and thirty-six citizens were
prostrated after eating meat from q
COW that had been killed while amict-
ed with puerperal fever. Ballard, to
whom we owe this report, also refers
to fifteen cases of ptomaine poisoning,

the ingestion of baked pork. Ptomaines
are found in many articles Of food
besides fish and shellfish. and their
presence cannot be easily ascertained.

soned by eating fish, and yet the fish
did not give forth any perceptible
odor. Ptomaines are formed in Sdi.
bles through chemical changes. and
are not due to the uncleanliness OF
the receptacle in which the food was
kept or carelessness in serving it.
According to statistics. sausage pol
soning is a rather common occur
renee. By psychologists it is COM
monty ascribed to the presence Of an
anaerobic bacillus. The toxemia
partly involves the digestive tract
and partly the nervous system. Ker-
ner reported 1855 cases OF sausage pol
soning. with eighty-four deaths. Most
OF these occurred in Wuertemburg and
Baden, Germany. where the methucs
OF curing sausage favored putrefac-
tion. Mueller recently reported l24
cases Of sausage poisoning, and stated
that six died within twenty-four hours
out OF forty-eight cases that proved
| fatal.
Rye Bread Sometimes Poisons.
Rye. while in the ear. is very sub
| ject to a disease by which the grain
becomes soft and black, a condition
| equivalent to modification. When
eaten in this state, the corn produces
the most serious consequences in
those who partake of 1t. Pellagra,
very foul condition of the skin, in
which the cuticle loses its natural
character and becomes sQuamous or
scaly. and dry. discolored, and thick
ened, has been traced to this source.
Gangrene also not infrequently fol-
lows Its ingestiOn. In Austria-Hun-
gary whole villages have been AFFLICTED
in this way. and it is no uncommon
sight In those countries to meet men
and women who have lost part Of
their anatomy by eating bread pre-
pared from diseased rye

to say nothing OF the long list that
might be compiled from the sanitary
records Of other commonweaiths.
From the Incidents mentioned It
will be clear that dining Is not the in
nocent occupation 1t was supposed to
be, that it is. in fact, attended by
some risk. Possibly the reader may
feel as did Wolsey when Henry VIII.
said to him according to Shake

greater than those of perishine in a

DINNER TABLE DANGERS
Serious Risks We All Run from Adu1terated Food
and Tainted Meat

The dinner table is not generally
thought of as a place where danger
Turks, yet statistics show that we run
certain risks when We sit down to
eat. Some Of US, especially those
chase all their food supplies, may con-
sumo food that is seriously adulterat-
ed and thus inimical to health, hut
even though there is nothing on the
table that is not homegrown or home
raised there is a possibility of the
food producing what is known as
''auto-intoxication,"o or, in the case Of
meat. of its being little too high"
and giving rise to ptomaine poison
ing. Some of these dangers OF din
ing are described by Hugo Erichsen
entific American.
Green tea, says Mr.. Erichsen, is
often adulterated with soapstone. gyp-
sum, China clay, indigo, turmeric or
graphite. The bulk and weight of cof-
fee are increased by the admixture
OF numerous roasted grains; and some
years ago letters patent were issued
for the manufacture Of pressed cof-
fee bean containing absolutely no
coffee at all. Sugar and the various
starches are commonly employed in
the preparation Of the lowest grades
of cocoa and chocolate Imitation but
ter consists mainly Of lard, and, as
might be expected. this material also
enters largely into the composition
of certain compounds dignifed by
the name Of cheese. Two barrels OF
-four are made out Of one by the addi-
tion of potato starch. The grocers
OF yore considered themselves shrewd
when they added 4 liberal quantity
of sand to their supply Of sugar. But
the methods Of their successors are
far more subtle. And for the unso-
phisticated layman, it is indeed al
most impossible to detect the adul-
teration of sugar with glucose. unless
he has recourse to q chemist Most
of Us have seen pickles that appeared
to be preternaturally green, and pre-
sumably many a housewife has been
filled with despair at being unable to
obtain this beautiful color in putting
up" vegetables. The greening Of
these pickles is effected by the addi.
ton Of sulphate Of copper to the wat
er in which they are boiled, pro
ceeding that is strongly condemned
by sanitary authorities.
When sulphate Of copper is indicat-
ed incidentally. however, the eating
of these pickles might be good way
to introduce it into the system.
