Philadelphia is perp'ex-d with a cu rious problem with reference to ac:om- modations forher puhlie-school children.

ItvmarkablA Conlrnut In the KHc of Two 1'oIkoiih on the Complexion. The slow absorption of many poisons changes in some more or less modified form the complexion, but arsenic and ammonia show their effect about as quickly as any. The popular belief tlfat arsenic clears the complexion haB ied many silly women to kill themselves with it in small, continued doses. , It produces a waxy, ivory-line appear ance of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become too well known to make it ol common UBe as a cosmetic. The effects of ammonia upon the com plexion are directly the opposite to tLat of arsenic. The first symptom of am monia poisoning which appears auioni: those who work in ammonia factories is. a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. ThiB gradually extends over the face until the complexion bm a Btained, blotched and unsightly appear ance. With people who take ammonia into their systems in Bma'ler doses, as with their water or food, these striking symptoms do not appear bo booh. The only effect of the poison that is vieible for a time is a general nnwholesomeness and Eallowness of the complexion. , Many people are slowly absorbing am monia poison without knowing it. The use of ammonia in the manufactures has greatly increased of late, and it ie un questionably UBed aa an adulteration in certain fowl preparations. Official anal ysis has plainly shown its use even in such cheap aiticles of every-day con sumption as baking powders. The con tinued absorption of ammonia in even minute quantities as an adulterant in food is injuiious not merely from its ef fect upon the complexion, but because it destroys ihe coating of the stomach nnd causes dyspepsia and kindred evils. Prof. Long of Chicago id authority for the statement that, if to fifty million parts of water there is one part of am monia, the water is dangerous. Exorcising a Ghost with Holy Water. For Fomo time thero has been a great deal of talk regarding a haunted housa which stands on tho Oregoniu and Har veysburg pike, about eight miles from Morrow, O. The house is the property of Dan Gallagher, who is ono of the noted characters of Warren county. The fame of the ghost rapping in the house spread far and near, and investi gating parties were organized, which sat up to meet the ghost. The rappings in variably occurred shortly before mid night, and continued several minutes. Some of the boldest of the investigators rushed out to the window, but could see nothing. The tapping, however, would at once cease on their approach. Finally Gallagher declared that he would fix the ghost. Ho secured a ves sel containing holy water from the church at Oregonia, and the ghost was exorcised in the presence of many curi ous spectators, several of whom had come from u distance. The scene was a most dramatic one. Dan approached tho window and re moved Ii hat, which was the signal for the others to uncover. Sprinkling the window profusely with tho holy water Dan in tragic tones thus addressed the invisible visitor: 'If you are a bad spirit depart Jieuce and never return. If you are a good spirit como forth and show yourself." Several minutes of profound silence elapsed, but there was no response. Dan again sprinkled the window and repeated his invocation. Still no ghost appeared, and it is said that no more tappings have disturbed the rest of the Fries family, and the ghost or mischievous neighbor has certainly stopped rapping. Cor. Philadelphia Press. Not to Hv Kndured. If the Federal government desires to stamp out the lottery evil, there will be little opposition on theoartof thetieoulc- and the press; but, if it gives irrespon sible underlings the power to stamp out the press when it exercises its right to diBcuss the law, the result will he not only opp sition, but indignation and trouble all along the line. Just now the papers are havincr a aaad deal to say about the arreBt of a Wiscon sin editor because he published a clip ping from an exchange questioning the validity of the anti-lottery law. If the arrest was made for nothing more than this, then it is putting it inildlv to sav that our government has become Rus sianized, so far as its treatment of the press is concerned. this policy will not work. If lotteries cannot be destroyed without also de stroying the freedom of the press,. the people will be in favor of letting the lot-. teries alone. We cannot afford to vield ' our right to Bjpeak and publish fair criti cisms of public measures. If we yield the right in one instance, wo may expect to be forced to keep silence whenever it uits me government to demand it. Fortunately it is no easy matter to bulldoze the newspapers of America. The menace of fine and imprisonment will intimidate very few. No matter what Federal officials may hold, the newspaper men of the country will not change their conviction that an honest criticism or discussion of tho provisions contained in the anti-lottery law cannot with any show of justice be held to be a violation of that law. If they are mis taken in this belief, then the law will have to be repealed or modified. In this Republic the government cannot arrav itself against the press and have the upport of the people.
