pOISONS^-AICOHOLi SALT,
T, Jtra
Salt haa from time immemorial
been generally couaiderad ft neces
sary article of food. It hi eaid, that
criminals in olden iimea were con
demned to die by enforced abstin
ence from Halt. Prescott in hi»
HifltorX’of Mfekieq relates how the
Jpauitg ,‘shorUy, after the Conquest,
discovered "some pf the inland tribes
who did not know what salt was.
.They had no conception of salt as a
*dtfftilictive artfala -of^fobrl or diet.
The Scientifically inclined Fathers,
Prescott tells myaet. tp work to a»«
certain if it were possible that these
people could -live’’ without salt, By
analyzing the soil and its products
it wus discovered thkt both , were
impregnated- with* salt, so much so
•that the fond^of the people, which*
was chiefly Vegetable, contained the
deffired* quantum <Jobtained,
in the natural process of growth,
from the soil. Mojlern scientists
assert that salt in small doses is a
Stimulant and toliib fin larger doses
is a purgative atid ’ emetic. In ex*,
cess it'is allege^ to Be a 'poison just
as much as alcohol /pr * ftny\other;
necessary .food ingredient. From
this it would seem that ouf ffurupta-
ary reformers Ifave ^‘m'i^hty heap”
of work ahead of them if they would
carry .out their creed of prohibiting
the sale and use of everything which
is poisonous if tftkei\ to excess. Al
cohol, tea, tobaccq, coffee and salt
are poiBonousif taken to excess. A-
crusade has’for Some linre been wag
ed against alcohol,rit* being urged
that as. it is a poison, the, sale of it
Other than for medicinal purposes
is pernicious ° and should be pro*
liibited. ’ With such success lias

If Lord Cofaridge is to be accept*

though the population has within
the last forty or fifty years increas

number of qriminah is now seme*
what lesji than it was then, not
withstanding all the palaver about
the doings of “drink.”
The taste lor snails as fowl m-
growing in France. Tjje ancient
Romans cultivated these*g^ter<ipod8
on a very extensive jscalo. The
Romans liked snails because they
provoked thirst, aifal gave an excuse

■ Arning many curious devices the
Washington Patent’ .Office -contains.
an instrument styled,a-cphygmo-
graph,’ intended to be uaed by the
medical profession. It can be fas-
t’fefied on the vest near tire' armhole
and is so delicate in construction
that it wi,ll^faithfully perform, i.ts
work of registering tlie various ef
feats of alcohol upon the system
without interfering with tlfe move-
’’ments^Qf the "pffrsonW
disarrangement of the clothing.' The
. action* of tlie heart is .conveyed by
the auxiliary artery to the Rpliygmo-
graphj and from that to the indica
tor by a set of delicate springs.
The chief virtue claimed (dr the
.invention is that it-will faithfully
.indicate the point at .which- liquor
ceases to be -a-mere stimulant, and.
becomes positively injurious. The
-inventor is a Pennsylvanian, »nd ’al*
