Philadelphia is perplexed with a cu

obligod to be satisfied with half time,
and thousands more are on the streets

child out from a school even if he lives
across the street from it and the schools
in his own ward are crowded to over
flowing. MISCELLANEOUS.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
KrmarkitM Contrant In th Kflrt of
Two PiiUnn) on tht Coinpllon.
The slow absorption of many poisons
change in some more or less modified
form the complexion, br.t arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief that
arsenic clears the complexion has led
many silly women to kill themselves
with it in small, continued doses.
It produces a waxy, ivory-like 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 of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the com
plexion are directly the opposite to that
of arsenic. The first symptoms of am
monia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is
a discoloration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
over the face until the complexion has a
stained, blotched and unsightly appear
ance. With people who take ammonia
into their systems in smaller doses, as
with their water and food, these striking
symptoms do not oppear so soon. The
only effect of the poison that is visible
for u time is a general nnwholesomeness
and sallowness of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing am
Hionia poison without knowing it. The
use of ammonia in the manufactures has
greatly increased of late, and it is un
questionably used as an adulterant in
certain food preparations. Official anal
ysis has plainly shown its use even in
such cheap articles of every-day con
sumption as baking powders. The con
tinued absorption of ammonia in even
minute quantities as an adulterant in
food is injurious not merely from its ef
fect upon the complexion, but because it
destroys the coating of the stomach and
causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Prof. Long of Chicago is authority for
the statement that, if to fifty million
parts of water there is one part of am-
monia, the water is dangerous.
It Payi to Grumble Jndlcloaily.
Tlie utility of grumbling Is something
to be considered. Perbitps the follow
ing tale may set forth some of its ad
vantages. There is a woman over in
Brooklyn who has tlie Lad taste not to
prefer tobacco smoke to fresh air. And
as sho is thrown among business men
only when she is outride her home, she
doesn't appreciate the fact that the
brains of business men go by smoke
power in these days, and that to BnuS '
out the cisar of the ordinary man would
be to snnfif out his intellect altogether.
And so a while ago, when she went to
her bank and had to sUnd in line to get :
to the cashier's desk and found a man ,
close in front of her holding his lighted
cigar behind him and a man close behind '
her holding his lighted cigar in front of '
him, she reached the cashier's desk in a
state of unstable equilibrinm as to her
mind.
And the first words that passed her
lips were addressed to the cashier thus.
"Mr. Jones, for years I have transacted
my business with this bank, and I've
been annoyed all these years by men
smoking in my face. Now I ask you
is there no remedy for this annoyance?
Can nothing be done?" And the cashier
answered sadty: . "I'm afraid not, Mrs.
Smith. Men will smoke, you know."
And she went away. But the next week
when she went back, over all the win
dows were little signs, and they all read
alike: "Smoking is not allowed in this
place."
And she went away triumphant All
of which teaches that if you don't like
a thing growl about it once in awhile.
But growl with discretion and don't '
growl on principle. New York Evening !

Not to be Kndared. ,
If the Federal government desires to
stamp out the lottery evil, there will be ,
little opposition on the part of the peo-
pie and the press ; but, if it gives irre
sponsible underlings the power to stamp
out the preBS when it exercises its right
to discusa the law, the result will be not
only opposition, but indignation and
trouble all along the tine.
Juat now the papers are having a good
deal to say about t he arrest 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 mildly to say
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 Ireedom of the press, the
people will be in favor of letting the lot
teries alone. We cannot afford to yield
our right to speak and publish fair criti- .
wains oi puuiic measures, xi we yieiu
the right in one instance, we may expect
to be forced to keep silence, whenever it
suits the government to demand it.
fortunately it is no easy matter to.,,
bulldoze the newspapers of America.
The menace of fine and imprisonment
win intimidate very few. No matter
what Federal officfals may hold, the
newspaper men of the country will not
change their conviction that an honest
: i : .-- J; r a i
criMciNin or uiacusBion oi vne 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 array
itself against the press and have the
support of( the people. Allanta (Gn ) .
