The Dangerous Nutmeg. • Cases are infrequently reported is which children and sometimes grown persons are poisoned by the free use of nutmegs, it: not being generally known that this made of common household use is really a deadly poison, says the Albany Express. This is true, in fact, of most common condiments; but when misused, these articles, such as pepper, capsicum, eto., are so obnoxious to Ole taste, excepting when taken in very minute quantities, that the consumer is warned in a very positive manner before he has had an opportunity to do himself serious injury. This is not the case, how- ever, with the nutmeg. This nut, which contains a poisOuoue principle of a very deadly character, may be consumed with- out inconvenience in quantities sufficient to produce fatal consequences ; and it is surprising not that death occasionally occurs from its 080, but that deaths are not more frequent. A fatal 0E180 has been recently reported in which a boy ef 8 years fell into a comatose oondition after eating two nutmegs and died within 12 hours. The Gough of a Locomotive.

' !Model City to Ile Built. A "City of the Future," such as Bellamy dreamed of, will be shown ab the World's Fair, of Paris, which is planned for the year 1900. The Inventions Nouvelles proposes v. de- parture from the usual toy arrangement of miniature models, Eiffel towers, etc., and advocates the erection of a city on a site sufficiently large to illustrate practically all the most prominent new inventions, as well as.)ahe fruit i of modern eiectro technique. The cost of erecting this futtzre model city is to be covered by renting out the houses, hotels etc., as well as all the stores to the exhibitors.

The French Chamber has passed a meas- ure laying a tax on all liveries -that le to say, any gentleman or lady who claps what we call " livery " upon a servant shall pay a tax of 20 francs a year for every livery worn. The opponents in the bill in France are en- deavoring to bring it into ridicule by in- sisting that the chef in his cap and the nurse in her white apron shall also come under its provisions, but this will COO Win. The spirit of the bill is all right. It is put- ting as tax on ilankylem,and this has beams so conspicuous of late years in what we call American society thet the subject recom- mends itself to the attention of our lew givers.
