He Had the Receipt.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution tells
this story: A country merchant stepped
into an Alabama street bank several
weeks ago, and stated that he wanted to
buy exchange on New York for certain
amount, naming the firm it was to be
sent to.
The money passed over the counter,
AID the rustic walked away happy.
The other day he came rushing back
into the bank and dsJnsndzds angrily:
"Wky didn't you send them New
York men that money I left here some
time ago?"
"You didn't leave any money here to
be sent off," answered the polite
cashier.
"Durned if 1 didn't. though" " madly
yelled the merchant, "an' they've been
dunnin' me like thunder for it..
"My friend, you must be mistaken, p"
firmly answered the official.
"Mistaken, thunder I've got your
receipt for it" and he threw down the
bill of exchange.
He cooled down and apologized when
informed that the receipt he had
should have been sent to the house that
WAS dunning him.

What we Call Our Dr0nes.

One of the upper ten thousand, who
was visiting America, accepted the hos
pitality of a gentleman in New York.
When taking farewell of his host, the
latter asked him what he thought OF the
American people. "Well," answered
the nobleman, 81 like them immensely,
but I miss something" "Wnat is that p
asked the Yankee. 81 miss the aristoc-
racy," replied the Englishnan. "What
are they ?" naively asked his host. ''The
aristocracy r. said the nobleman, in a
somewhat surprised tone of voice, "why,
they are people who do nothing, you
know; whose fathers did nothing, you
know; whose grandfathers did nothing,
you known fact, the aristocracy. >
Here he was interrupted by the Ameri-
can, who chimed in with, "Oh, we've
plenty of them over here; but we don't
call them aristocracy-we call them
trsmps,"

Who Will Pay the Wager?
THE WINNER OF IT SIRENS TO BE ABOUT
5000 OUT OF POCKET.

MIR. Reynolds, Republican, and j.
Frank Wright, Democrat, both we'll
known citizens of Mount Vernon, West
chester County, N. Y, some time before
election made wager of 5000 each that
their respective Presidential candidates
would carry the State of New York. The
money was put in the hands of joseph
Roe, who, not caring to carry $1,000
about in his trowsers pocket, deposited 1t
in Masterton's banking house at Mount
Vernon, which is now badly insolvent
Mr.. Roe took the certified check OF
the bank as security for his deposit.
After election day Mr.. Wright. the
Democrat, regarded himself as $500 In
pocket. But the bank burst, and Mr..
Wright now regards himself as 5000
out of pocket. Mr.. Reynolds feels
about the same way. The certified
check for 81, 200 which Mr.. Roe holds
g said not to be worth the paper it is
written on.
A funny feature OF the affair is that
two votes we're lost. Mr.. Reynolds did
not put in an appearance at the polls,
and MIR. Wright was challenged and did
NOT vote. A Mount Vernon lawyer says
that Mr.. Roe is plainly responsible fol
the loss of 81, 200, and it could be recog
cred from him by law,

THE HOMESICK SOLDIER.
"Efs the Regiment! We're Mt Hame!
We're n Mt Hame.o

Near one OF our large cities there is
small asylum for aged blind men. 1t is
quiet, airy house, and stands inside of
an orchard and old-fashioned garden.
Under the trees and in the shaded alleys
you may see the gray old pensioners sit
ting together, telling the same stories
for the thousandth time, feeding the
poultry, playing with the janitor's little
child. They have found rest and friendly
quiet in which to wait until death, that
silent, kindest friend of all, comes to
lead them home.
Among these old men was one Sandy
McFarquhar, an old ffer who had be-
longed to a Highland regiment, and had
strayed in his old age to this country to
join his son. The son had died, his
wife married again, and poor old Sandy,
nearly eighty, crippled and blind, had
been placed by some kind souls in this
asylum. As he grew more feeble and
nearer the end, old memories woke
within him.
. '1f l could only once see the house
where my mither lived /" he would COM
plain perpetually. eff I could throw
my line in the Tay again !''
As time passed, this homesickness
grew intolerable. He babbled all day
Of his home, and woke from his sleep
crying out familiar names.
'If it were possible for him to bear
the voyage, " said the superintendent to
some visitors one day, SIT would only be
right to send him and let him die in his
native village"
One OF the visitors was gay young
fellow of the town, with kind heart un-
der his folly. He listened with dim
eyes while old Sandy talked of the glory
of his regiment.
'They'll be going hame soon. You'll
hear the bands play as they march down
the street a the old tunes: 'Roy's Wife,
an The Cammels Are COMM an the
girls'l rim out, an the bonnie children,
an they'll a. be there but me p
The young man asked a question as
they left the room.
"He will hardly last till midnight"
was the answer of the physician.
At dusk that evening one of the best
orchestras of stringed instruments in the
city quietly entered the garden of the
asylum, took their places beneath the
windows and began to play. The dying
old man raised himself in bed.
''Whats that? Young Lochinvar?'
Harkl Be still THE Cammels Are
Comm It's the regiment comm hame
the regiment-to Scotland p
The music rose higher. It was an old
martial strain of triumph, to which he
had marched many day. He threw
off the clothes and stood on the floor
trembling, his arms raised high.
''It's the regiment We're at hame
vvo're ~ at hnrne 20
They caught him as he fell. Sandy
was at home.

ARE CANNED GUODs POISONOUS f!
The Doctors by no Means Satisfied Tint
such is the Case.

A paper read before the Medico-Legal
Society, of New York city, some weeks
ago by DR.. johnson of Brooklyn, upon
Poisoning by Canned Goods" attracted
the attention of DR.. Thomas Stevenson,
of London, Government Analyst, and he
wrote short monograph on the same
subject and sent it to the society. 1t
was read at a meeting of the society by
DIR. j. A. Irwin. DR.. Stevenson SAYS
that no positive case of acute metal
poisoning by canned goods is known in
London. 1t is reasonably certain that
where persons have been poisoned by
eating canned meats, the meat itself
was tainted before canned.
In February last, the doctor continues,
there were in Glasgow several cases of
poisoning from timed provisions. The
symptoms were those of gastro-enetritis.
An analysis showed salts of tin present,
but it could not be proved that the i'll
ness was due to the tin. That canned
goods usually contained traces of tin has
been shown by several British chemists,
and it is well established fact. That
such provisions do not usually produce
any serious results is a matter cf COM
mon experience.
IL am not prepared to say" remarked
DIR. Stevenson in closing, "that tin COM
pounds are inert, but evidence is want
ing to show that the daily injections of
fractions of grain of tin compounds is
man1festly injurious to health"
DIR. Irwin followed with short paper
of bis own on the same subject. 1t ap-
peared to him, he said, that before the
question of the danger to health from
using canned goods could be determined
it was necessary to settle two questions:
Flrst-Are the canned goods now in
the market contaminated at all by tin
If so, is the contamination of a nature
likely to endanger the public health
The first question must be settled by
the analytical chemist. DR.. Stevenson's
paper showed that, while foods in tin
usually take up salts of tin, they are
not usually injurious. An eminent au-
thority has said the public had not the
faintest cause for alarm on the subject
Certain salts of tin are never used ex-
cept for artistic and commercial pur-
poses. Chloride of zinc is highly poi
sonous substance, and never given inter
nally. Salts of tir a-e unquestionably
corrosive irritant poisons. Yet not a
case of fatal poisoning from meats in
which they had been detected had been
recorded.
DIR. Irwin agreed with DIR. Stevenson
that meat of an inferior quality or taint-
ed is often canned. AS to the length of
time which provisions can be kept in
tin there WAS no exact knowledge. He
had eaten canned fruits in Patagonia
which had crossed the equator twice and
which had 1,artail11v haar1 II, <,a,,s So O
year. Personally he had never suffered
from such food. He believed, however.
that food long canned becomes detri-
mental, and could see no objection to a
law compelling manufacturers to stamp
cans with the date of sealing.

TOO MUCH WHEAT

''Too much wheat r' So the dealers say,
Millions of bushels left unsold
OF last years crop; and now, to-day,
Ripe and heavy and yellow as gold,
This summers crop counts full and fair;
And murmurs, not thanks, are in the air,
And storehouse doors are locked, to wait,
And men are plotting, early and late.
''What shall save the farmers from loss
If wheat too plenty makes wheat dross?"
''Too much wheat?' Good God, what word !
blasphemy in our borders heard
''Too much wheat p' And our hearts we're
stirred,
Bat yesterday, and our cheeks like flame,
For vengeance the Lord his loins doth grid,
When nation reads such tale of shame.
Hundreds of men lie dying, dead,
Brothers of ours, though their skins are red:
Men we promised to teach and feed.
Oh, bastard nation bastard deed
They starve like beasts in pen and fold
While we hoard wheat to sell for gold
.''TOo much wheat r' Mems lives are dross
rsiHow shall the farmers be saved from loss ?"
'FToo much wheat T' Do the figures lie?
What wondrous yields Put the ledgers by
''Too much wheat p'
Oh, summer rain,
And sun, and sky, and wind from west,
Fall not, nor shine, nor blow again
Let fields be deserts, famine guest
Within our gates who hoard for gold
Millions of bushels of wheat unsold,
With men and women and children dead
AID daily dying for lack of bread
"Too much wheat!" Good God, what word
A blesphemy in our borders heard.
