ARSENIC IN HOSIERY.
The Cheap Goods Not so Dangerous ms the
Expensive Article.

Wearing colored hosiery developes some
peculiar facts, said dealer recently.
What are they Pr
Well, 1t would seem cheap colored
stockings would he more liable to have poi.
son in their color than the higher priced
ones, but the fact is just the reverse. You
never hear OF poor people being poisoned
by wearing cheap colored hosiery. It is
only those who wear the best material 1t
would scarcely pay to put arsenic in cheap
article. A gentleman bought pair of col
ored silk socks He wore them once and
afterwards complained of an irritation and
soreness in his limbs. An investigation re-
vealed the fact that he had been poisoned
| by the color in the fine silk socks he wore,
They contained arsenic. took them back,
had them dyed deep black and they did
not poison the wearer after that Now this
fact shows that the finest hosiery has more
poison in their color than the very chear
kind. When the weather is warm the cheap
colored hosiery runs and the color gets all
over the feet. At night the color is washed
the weather is warm fine colored hosiery
runs, but very little. However so little,
though, the effect upon the wearer is dele
terious and frequently results in blood poi
soning. cannot say though, that this is
true in every case, but many that / have
known exemplify what have stated. The
poor people have q wonderful immunity, il
seems, from poisoning produced in this
manner. If arsenic was used in cheap hosi
cry as much as in fine, the hospital might
be full OF patients now, all suffering from
poisoning in the feet and limbs. OF course
1t is the aim OF the manufacturers to have
as little arsenic as possible in the colorine
they use, but the faintest trace occasionally
has wonderful effect upon some people
who have impure blood susceptible to any
influence.
Black shades of hosiery seem to b,
free from poisoning. or the colors NOR,
likely to contain it is red. Dark gray, light
straw, deep maroon, and such shades pos.
'ess less Of poisoning than the bright decid.
ed colors like red, blue, orange, green, VIC.
let and garnet. These colors are always
dyed to black il hue and cry is made
against wearing stockings with poisons in
them. Black never Injuries and contains no
arsenic.
! must say that really believe that
small proportion of the colored hosiery used
by the general public perhaps may have
arsenic in them. The greater majority dc
not, and there is little probability that with
all tho means of detecting poisons in color
any manufacturer will be rash enough to
put in enough arsenic as to create panic

Why the Barber Always Talks.

"You hear great deal of talk about be-
ing too talkative," said Pittsburg barber,
" but let me tell you that the barber who
doesn't talk isn't any good. He isn't popu.
lar with the trade and he doesn't make 8
good workman. You see, man comes in
and he gets into the chair and the barber
commences shaving him without saying a
word. The man who is being shaved 8
nothing to think about except himself and
he Immediately begins to kick about the
razor. IT pulls and hurts his face and moth
ing suits him and he goes away dissatisfied
with the shop and the barber. Now one Of
those good-natured, laxative BARRIERS would
take the same man and commence talking
politics and the weather, the police and the
skating Kinks to him and there would never
be the slightest kick. No, sir the barber
could use his oldest, dullest and rustiest
razor and the man would never think of
complaining, and when the barber would
finish combing his hair by telling him he
had hair Just like Abe Lincoln or Charles
Sumner he'd get up and give him o cigar
and go off feeling good-natured and swear
that was the best shop in the city.'-Pitts-

rATrooEp Upon HER ARm.


A name tattooed on woman's arm forms
The turning point in an odd case at Reading,
Pa, before Orphans Court Judge Schwartz.
The pretty widow, Ellen Riegel, is suing
for her share of her late husbands estate,
and her stepchildren are using every legal
means to prevent her from recovering dol
lar, on the ground that she was not only
not legally married to Mr.. Riegel, but that
she was the undivorced wife of man named
Ribble, now living in the West. One Of
the strongest points in the case for the de.
PENDANTS is the allegation that the right arm
Of the widow is tattooed in blue ink with
the word Ribble.n A number of witness.
IS have sworn that the name is Ribble, while
others have testified that they could not tell
whether it was Ribble or Riegel. All had
seen the tattoo marks from distance. Some
witnesses swore that the woman lived with
Ribble rs his wife.
The defendant averred that she was never
married to Bibble, but her only husband
was Riegel; that the pastor who married
them was dead, and that the records and
certificate were lost. Last year Riegel died
suddenly. He was an elderly man, and his
young widow was arrested, together with
one Charles Heisler, on the charge of having
poisoned him. They were subsequently
acquitted. The widow then brought suit to
recover her share of her late husbands es-
tate.
The trial has not yet been concluded, but
up to this time the widows arm has not
been offered in evidence. It is known def
nitely that the tattooed letters read Ribble,
but 1T is asserted that 1T was simply girlish
freak, the tattooing having been done when
'he was girl aged IL, and when Ribble
was her beau and not her husband. 1t il
also asserted that eighteen years ago it was
quite the style for young country girls to
have their arms tattooed with the names of
their beaus that her husband, Riegel, knew
all these facts before they were married
that an attempt was made to tattoo the name
over again so rs to make it read Riepel, but
which attempt failed, and that Mr.. Rieqel
was convinced she had never before been
narrisd.

mbpnnaed to testify as to the custom OF
eighteen years ago. These witnesses who
are now respectable married women, have
tattooed upon their arms the names of their
first beaus, who are not now their husbands.
The witnesses are making an effort to be
excused from testifying Whether they will
succeed remains to be seen, and the inter-
esting question is causing fiutter among
number of families whose wives and mother
have tattooed arms

POETRY.



Faint in the lace OF some controlling far
tyrant shadow with cold, sneering ewes.
Which at an honest laugh would disappear
we ciothe ourselves in plausible disguise
Ana wrong our nature with laborious lies.
Fear OF the scorn which rightly understood
Is honor paid to genius unaware;
Fear OF the venomed fangs OF that vile brood
VINO fawn on Fortune while the skies are fat
And bark about the footsteps OF Despair.
Fear to be loyal TO ourselves through all.
mistaken, unshamed in all mems sight:
Fear like the Apostles in the high priests hall
Who, shrinking from the martyrs glorious
right,
DisOwned the Master and forswore him quite
Fear TO be mere human, simply man.
Richer than kings in that plain dignity
Grandly imperfect after Gods own plan;
Finding in our own faults full charity
And general pardon for humanity
All, no, we lack the courage to be real:
Each in his various folly tolls and tries
TO mould his nature TO some false ideal,
And walks a-tiptoe to increase his size.
Decked out In borrowed plumage, jackdas
wise.
Who dare say: have neither gold nor land.
High heritage OF ancient blood or name.
Labor hath set its seal upon my hands;
Son OF the sons OF toll unknown to fame
am, and thereunto take no shame?
Who dare say to the worlds conflicting ereeds
Solace sought In We and was denied;
leaned on ye and found We hollow reeds;
Old, dying dungeoners OF truth We hide
The face OF God with dust OF human pride.
Alas how few yet dared we rise above
The common curse of insincerty,
Frank, just and fearless strong In truth and love
A law unto ourselves, that were to be
First of the sons OF time, wise, great and free.

AYELLowsroNE PARK LAKE.


There are number Of wonderful gorpes
among the mountains in the western part of
the Park and just across the boundary line
in Idaho, is Lake Henry (named in honor
Of the late Professor Joseph Henry, which
possibly has no equal ON the face of the
earth, according to its size, for the immense
number of fish therein contained. This
lake is on the southwestern slope of the
main divide of the Rocky Mountains and is
the source of the Henry's Fork of the Snake
river, one of the tributaries of the Columbia,
Lake Henry is remarkable body of water.
1t is simply loaded down with trout and is
the breeding ground of the famous salmon
trout, which are plentiful in Snake river
and its tributaries The fish in this lake are
in schools-thiee, four and even five LAYERS
deep-and are packed SO closely together
that there is neither fun nor trouble in
catching them.
The Times correspondent visited the spot
late last fall, while going from the Uppe,
Geyser Basin in the Pork, over the govern
ment road, to Virginia City, and found on
the banks Of the lake, hidden by tall pine
and fir trees, rude log cabin occupied by
an individual who was there as A speculator
The money.making fellow had foreseen that
many Park tourists, after visiting the geyser
basins, would return to civilization via vir-
ginia City, SO he had built his cabin on the
road and near the lake, also hewed out of n
solid pine log small dug.out boat for the
accommodation of sight-seers, and provided
himself with scores of spears for the use of
customers who desired to try their hand NJ
disappearing.
There had been terrible destruction b,
green-horn spearsmen who last year wound
ed and mutilated a vast deal more of tn.
piscatory tribe than they caught. The pro-
prietor of the log cabin also kept seine to
amuse his patrons with, which consisted in
casting the net and making a haul and then
throwing the fish back in the water if not
wanted. strongly suspected him of EN-.
ploying dynamite or giant powder as one
Of his pastimes, for the shores of the lake
were lined with dead trout that bore tho
appearance of having been killed in some
unaccountable manner by sudden shock.
There is some talk of capitalists building
canning factory on the banks of Lake
Henry for the purpose of canning this de-
lightful fish for the market, but as the lake
is the spawning ground which supplies
Snake river and ultimately the Columbia
with its salmon yield the scheme should he
nipped in the bud and the young fish pro
tected.

Unnecessary Trnuble.

Type-writing machines are coming into
general use among business men who have
an extensive correspondence. An amusing
incident growing out Of their use was related
to us recently by gentleman of this
borough. He received business letter
from man in neighboring county, and
the reply was written on type writer. In
few days the correspondent wrote again
to our friend, prefacing his letter with this :
