Blngle hydrant and four streams were
turned on. One hundred and lxty
pound pressure were brought to bear
on four sta-amu at once, and the water
was thrown near 200 feet, and over the
tallrat building. One stream at the
chool house wa turned on with a
premure of lfJOpoonds and the water wa
thrown clear over the flag-staff. The
test wa quite satisfactory, and the
council has signed the contract for three

ha ten hydrant and BSOfeet of hose,
and a splendid system of water works.

Home vlewa expressed were quite con

that In order not to be ft "violator of

The slow absorption of many poison
change In tome more or Ice modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about a
quickly a any. The popular belief
that arsenic clear the complexion ha
led many (Illy women to kill them
selves with It lu small, continued doses.
It produceaa waxy, ivory-like appear
ance of the skin during a certain stage
of the poisoning, but It terrible after
effect have become to well known to
make It of common use a a cosmetic,
The effect of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite to
that of arsenic The first symptom of
ammonia poisoning which appear
among those who work In ammonia
factories, Is a discoloration of the skin
of the nose and forhead. This gradu
ally extends over the face until the
complex loo ha ft stained, blotched, and
unsightly appearance. . Wltb people
who take ammonia into tlielr systems
in smaller doses, a with tlielr water or
food, th-so striking symptom do not
appear ao soon, The only effect of the
poison that I visible for a time Is a gen
eral unwholeftometiene and sallow
ness of the complexion, , '
Many people are tlowly absorbing
ammonia poison without kuowlng It.
The use of nmniouta in the manufac
ture ha greatly increased of late, aud
It Is unquestionably used a an adulter
ant in certain food preparation. Offi
clal analysis have plainly shown It use
even In such cheap urtlclcs of every day
consumption as baklug powders. Tlie
continued absorption of ammonia In
even minute quantities a an adulter
ant in food 1 Injurious not merely
from It effect upon the complexion,
but because It destroy the coating of
the stomach and causes dyspepsia aud
kindred evils.
