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.

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. Atlanla (fin. i
