Excepting possibly the bichloride of
mercury, few toxic substances are so
common as arsenic, for the arsenates
and arsenites are not only much used
In medicine, but are likely to be en
countered In commercial substances,
wallpaper, dyestuffs, etc. Arsenic has
been known since ancient times. The
word means masculine or powerful. In
the sixteenth century It was used for
homicidal purposes in the form of aqua
tofana and in literature has been the
most celebrated of poisons. Although
considered one of the most powerful
poisons, it is less so in its ordinary
forms than potassium cyanide and the
alkaloids, though in combination with
hydrogen it becomes one of the dead
liest substances known, the slightest
whiff of the gas being sufficient to in
sure death. In the common form, the
trioxide or “white arsenic." one or two
grains enuse death.—Boston Herald.
Great Poets and a Little Girl.
James Russell Lowell used to walk,
along the gravel paths of his beautiful
garden In Cambridge. Mass., band in
hand with a bright little girl, who was
his neighbor, and discoursed with her
upon fairies, paper dolls, roses and oth
er Important subjects. Henry Wads
worth Longfellow, a neighbor of Low
ell’s and of the little girl’s, who wore a
velvet coat and a big tie. was also her
intimate friend. He used to tell her
wonderful stories of ancient heroes and
many other marvelous things. It was
natural that the little girl should re
solve even then to become a writer,
and first of all a poet for it was as a
poet that the novelist, Eleanor Hallo
well Abbott first achieved recognition.
