In looking over the e sets of Mrs. Mooney a letter was found addressed to Thomas Mooney. hearing date 1847. and written by a man in New Orleans. convey- ing the intelligence that Peter Mooney. his father. died in a hospital in New Orleans about the time the letter waswritten. How this letter came into Mrs. Mooney's pos- session is a mystery. but still more strange is the fact that the news of her husband's death escaped her notice altogether. and the solution of the mystery of her lile had lain lor thirty-five years in a package of letters within reach of her hand.

But the nitro-glycerine easily drains ofi from the powder and oozes from any crevice in the vessel in which the compound is kept. Drops of it thus bsdewing the edges of a box may very easily be mistaken for oil escaping, and if workmen ignorantly endeavor to nail the box tighter or to open it for examination there will be a disastrous explosion. Several have occurred in past years in this way. The victims knew. no doubt, that nitro-glycerine (or the compounds) may be exploded by a blow (contact with fire is not needful). but they did not suspect that the innocent-looking oil was nitro-glycerine. Why should not youth be taught in the schools somewhat of the practical dangers of these substances which are coming into such common use? They would pursue the study with interest, especially if there were judicious experi- ments. A Missouri story is that a teacher confiscated a small metal box which a pupil was playing with in school hours.and think- ‘ing it contained chewing gum, tried to break it open with a hammer. It was a dynamite torpedo of the kind used on the railroad track as a danger-signal. and large bits of it had to be cut out of the lady's cheek. Wouldit not have been well if she had known somewhat of the aspect of tor- pedoes? Was it not more important to the journeyman plumber who threw the lighted match into the pan of camphene, mistaking it for water, by which the great printing establishment of Franklin Square was burned some twenty-eight years ago, to know camphene by sight than to have memorized many of the matters prominent in a public school course. Surely workmen. especially " raw hands " in establishments where these things are used. should be sys- tematically instructed in advance, and the courts are now enforcing this principle.â€" Popular Science Monthly.

One cannot judge from the brief account: given what are the precise causes of such isaetere, but there is reason to believe that ignorance is prolific; that many per- sons have only a vague knowledge of the qualities of nitro-glycerine, cannot recog- nize it when they see it, and are not acquainted with the various forms in which it is compounded or with the peculiar dan- gers of handling it carelessly.

A case of what seems like a very narrow escape from serious consequences resulting from taking a small piece of the lead u in automatic pencils into the mouth came under our observation yesterday. A gentle- man, a tobacco-ohewer, and who sometimes carries a small quantity of the weed in his vest pocket, took a chew yesterday after- noon. and immediately discovered a pecu- liar taste and noticed that his saliva was 1 much discoloredâ€"not with the tinge ro- duced by tobacco. but of a deep]. purp ish blue. He immediately rinsed is mouth, as be supposed thoroughly, but did not succeed in removing the discoloration. This occurred about 6 cclook in the afternoon. He went home to tea, and with the first food he attempted to swallow he was taken with violent retching and vomiting. and this continued without intermission until about 9 o'clock. That the bit of lead taken into his mouth caused this there can hardly be a doubt.
