Terrible Results from q Thief Trap.

NEWS has Just reached this city of a
horrible and fatal case of wholesale
poisoning at Elk Garden, Russell Coun-
ty, in the southern part of the State.
1t appears that Mrs. Martha Micalitor,
a well-known farmers wife, had been
much annoyed of late by thieves steal
ing large quantities of butter. She be-
thought herself of plan to stop the
repeated thefts, and it was this: She
put strychnine into all the rolls of a
certain firkin, and placed the firkin in
a convenient place for the robbers night
before last.
The firkin was promptly stolen, and
Mrs. Micalitor was satisfied that the
thieves would die. But oh, horror! in
stead of the thieves eating the butter
they sold it! 1t went broadcast through
the country. Mr.. Jackson, a promi-
nent planter, purchased several pounds
of it yesterday, and supposing it all
right, the servant placed it on the sup
per table, where there were twelve per-
sons at the repast, of whom four died
in few hours after eating the butter.
They were Andrew, Joseph and James
Jackson, three brothers, and Miss Alice
Gatewood, who happened to be guest
of the Misses Jackson; beside, three
other persons at the table were taken
dangerously i'll, among them a young
lawyer, who was paying attention to
Miss Gatewood.
The greatest excitement prevails in
the county. Neither the thieves who
stole and sold the poisoned butter, nor
the lady who used such dangerous
trick, have been arrested, but doubtless
exertions will be made to lynch the men
who sold it.-Rictmo'sd Fa.) Cor. Gin
cinsaat Enquirer.

hats In q Name.

SEVERAL stories are told which ex-
hibit the autocratic character of Lord
Leitrim, who was murdered, the other
day, in Ireland. Here is one of them.
Lord Leitrim ruled matters with such
an iron hand that his name alone was
sufficient to awe all those who lived
round him, and even to cause a railway
train to put back into station it had
actually left, as my tale will prove.
One day a respectable-looking man,
dressed like cattle-dealer, or sOmc-
thing of that sort, was seen hurrying
along the road toward a line of railway
which passed near the Earls house. A
train was Just about to start from the
station, and, the time being up, the
official had given the signal to proceed;
the whistle had sounded, and the engine
began to move on. Then the stranger,
still hurrying, waving his hat. and
shouting, called out loudly, lord
Leitrim! Lord Leitrimr' The station
master, in a great state of excitement,
Immediately signalcd the train to stop.
It pulled up, and then backed till it was
once more level with the platform.
Seeing this the man began to walk more
leisurely; reached the spot at last and
calmly took his seat in secOnd-class
carriage. "Where is Lord Leitrim?''
asked the statiOn-master, looking anx-
iously toward the road. Haven't
the faintest idea,'' replied the ingenious
cattle-dealer, with a grin that plainly
told the official he had been hOaxed;
and the train made q start this time in
real good earnest. London Cor. San

ARAINY afternoon kept six young

their tongues ran ut rate that sue

suicide out of sheer envy. A phOno-
graph was loafing in the room during
the conversation, and the next day
when its crank was turned it spoke
verbatimically as follows:

A WRITER in the Journal of Science
warns spectators on the population
question that they must hencefOrth
cease to regard war as one of their
positive checks" GunpOwder con-
tains on an average IS per cent. of
saltpeter or nitrate of potash, equiva-
lent to 1912 per cent. Of combined or
available nitrogen. Of this 1912 per
cent, 9.98 per cent, or practically the
whole, escapes in the form of free
nitrogen, and is consequently rendered
useless. Assuming the total produc-
ton Of gunpowder to be at least 1OO,-
DOC, 600 pounds annually, this is shown
to mean the destruction in advance of
SOC, O0O, 900 pounds of bread q wear.
Every ounce of powder used in war,
celebrations. etc., means the absolute
unrecovcrable loss to the world of u
certain quantity of food; diminishes the
fertility of the earth, and makes the
struggle for existence steadily more
difficult. There is here furnished an
additional argument against Fourth of
July combustion of gunpowder, and
arbitration advocates may also fairly
cite it against war. A great war not
only extinguishes large numbers of use
full lives, but does 50 at the cost of DO
tential life. II people buried every
year SOC, OOO, 900 pounds of bread in the
earth, they would be guilty of frightful
prodigality; but, then, the nitrogen
would still be available for the future.
When they burn 100, 000, 900 pounds of
gunpowder, however. they perform an
Infinitely more wasteful act, q they
permanently diminish the amount Of
lood the ssSth II capable Of yielding.

Kept for Himself.

FARMER Downs kept buying farms
till his last sickness. Then he had to
stop. for his time had come. The hard
working, close-saving, debt-paying.
debt-collecting, land-buying old man,
sent for his lawyer and told him to
"draw his will" 1t was a long dOcu-
ment, for there was much to devise.
Item after item was put down. The
home place to the wife; this to one
child; that to another. At last he
paused with n sigh of relief that his UNI
welcome task was done.
The best farm-that lying between
two beautiful riverside had not men,
toned. He had owned il long, and it
was his pride. 1t had never failed
him.. 1t did not overflow, and it with
stood all droughts. Presently the law
YER asked: Esquire Downs, what arc
You going to do with the farm in the
fork?'' The sick man started, look ed
ut his lawyer, closed his eyes a moment,
looked at his lawyer again, and said
(liere follows literal history this is
not filling in rs part of this article may
be, it is what a dying farmer in Georgia
really did say thought I s0ouM keep
that for myself" And he presently
died, and never put it down in his will.

The Streets Of Paris.

The streets of Paris are a marvel of
cleanliness. We have had to-day sew
eral heavy showers of rain. No sooner
had the rain ceased falling than men
appeared upon all the b0ulevards to
sweep off the water and dry them up as
quick as possible. On those laid with
asphaltum they were armed with a spe-
cies of gutta percha scraper. which en-
abled them to remove the water to the
cutters. When the roadway was of
Belgian blocks they had horse brushes
at work, and where they were macad-
smized they used rattan brushes. In an
hour they were all dry, as the sun came
out warm after every shower. Neither
dust nor water is allowed to remain on
the streets, and such thing as mud is
never to be found in any part of Paris.
There are no letter-boxes on the streets
of Paris except in the windows of the
stores where cigars and stamps are
sold. Cigars are Government mo-
nOpoly and are sold, as are postage
stamps, by regularly-appointed agents,
they receiving q small commission.
The Government cigars are sold in
bundles of twenty-five, put up in en-
velopes and stamped at the Govern
ment factories. Havana cigars which
have paid the regular duty are sold in
all the cafes, but domestic cigars are
only sold by Government agents. Paris
excels all other cities in the world in
the management of its municipal af-
fairs. 1t is far better lighted, better
cleaned, better supplied with sewers,
markets, parks and everything tending
to make life pleasant, agreeable, con-
venient and safer than any American,
or, indeed, any other large European
city. The idea which was so generally
entertained that the superb ordering Of
Paris was due to the unlimited power
which Napoleon and Baron Haussman
possessed has been exploded. The inn
provements are just as numerous, and
the magnificence quite as thoroughly
kept up under the Republican regime.
The people are soundly taxed, but they
know that the money is well laid out;
that none of it is manipulated by cor
rupt rings, and they do not grumble.-

Insurance on the Tiber.

"MARCUs CELIUs," Cicero said to
his legal friend, meeting him one morn
ing on the other side of q screen under
the capitol, "what shall it be?''
CDlius said he would take little spir-
st'Is t'sn'enG optinsus, straight, and the
orator remarking that that was about
the size of his, went on:
81 wish you could get out the neces-
sary papers some time to-day, and bring
suit for me against the Yellow Tiber
Fire & Marine Insurance Company, for
the amount of its policies on my villa ut
Tusculum and my town house."
nj. CNlius looked up in amazement.
"Why," he exclaimed, "when did
they burn down? And what was it?
Accident? Mob? Some Of Clodius'
people?''
NO." Cicero said, "there are intact
as yet, and in fact, haven't insured
them, yet, but am going to do so to-
morrow, and l want to bring suit
against the company now, SO that if
they ever should happen to burn, 1
won't have quite SO long to wait for
the money"
CHlius saw. that the orators head was
level, and brought suit that afternoon.
Eleven years afterward the villa at Tus-
culum and the town house were both
destroyed by fire. The suit had by that
time been in five different courts. and
had been confirmed, and reversed and
remanded, and referred to the Master
to take proof, and stricken from the
docket, and amended, and rebutted, and
sur-rebutted, and implicated, and re-
jOindered, and filed, and 9uashed, and
continued until nobody knew what it
was about, and Cicero was notified,
three weeks after the fire that he would
have to prove willful and long
absence and neglect, as he could not
get decree simply on grounds of in
Compatibility of temperament. And
when he went to the Secretary of tho
company, that official told him the
company didn't know anything about
the fire and had no time to attend to
such things. The cOmpany's business,
the Secretary said, was to insure houses,
not to run around to fires, asking about
the insurance. If he wanted any in
formation on those points, he would
have TO ask the firemen or the newspaper
reporters.
The more man reads i'm these old
histories, the more he is convinced that
the insurance business in the days Of
the pr:ctOrs was great deal more like
it is to-day.-Burlington HaUk-Eye.

Bashful People.
AVOID debt and idleness.

Or those wastes and burdens of life
which we call minor miseries, bashful-
ness is conspicuous evil. The BASH
full man forever runs gauntlet of in
geniOus public torture. He is endued
with q sixth sense of suffering. Ar
rows of sarcasm never aimed at him
find every joint in his harness. Blows
of criticism meant for some antipo-
dean fall on his defenseless head. Fires
of condemnation lighted for far-away
offenders scorch him to the quick.
For it is true, as the witty "AutO-
Graf" declares, that bashialness is van
ity turned wrong side out. 1t is not a
lack of sufficient self-conceit, but of due
self-estecm. 1t is not an under-valua-
ton of ones quality, but an uneasy fear
of others under-valuation. The BASH
