The wakulla Smoke of Florida

Tallahassee abounds in objects of local
interest. 1 will not rehearse from the land
circulars the glowing descriptions of hard
wood forests, crystal lakes, baroniaI old
mansions, and arched streets; but two
things here are indeed worthy special
mention; The old home and tomb of
Prince Murat, and the noted WakulIa
smoke, whiGS is occasionally visible over
a swamp between here and the gulf 1t
has been seen at times for fifty years, and
every conceivable theory projected to &C
count for it. The swamp is almost impas-
sable, but men have penetrated very near
to where the smoke ought to be. There,
however, they could see no sign of it. 1t
is even claimed that some have gone di-
rectly through it without knowing it, and
Judge White, an aged citizen, is positive
he was once within five or six miles of it,
when it was perfectly plain. So the weight
of scientific opinion is that it is vapOr,
collected by peculiar conditions in the
great swamp, invisible, of course, to one
in it, but quite Opaque to those few miles
away. We all love mystery, however,
and so the common voice runs that an
opening in the swamp discharges a blue
smoke from some underground source

A St. Louis Drummer Hard UP.

"Times are pretty hard with the ST.
Louis drummers," said Chicago & Alton
conductor Il noticed one the other day
smoking cigar. He smoked great deal
and appeared to enjoy it, but something
about the cigar attracted my attention
and watched him pretty close. 1t wasn't
long before1 got on to his little game. He
had piece of briarwOod painted up to
look exactly like cigar, and there was
deep hole in the end of it. In this he had
packed long smoking tobacco and was
putting away in great style. He had the
thing jointed, too, so that he could reduce
the length of his cigar One-half when no
body was looking. When he had finished
his smoke he pretended to throw the
stump out the window, but in reality held
it in the palm of his hand and finally
slipped it into his pocket. You see he was
too proud to smoke a pipe and probably
too poor to smoke cigars. Chicago

THE CAUSES OF -sELF-PolsoNINe. =
How yiruIent Poisons Arc Sometimes
Dexeloped Within the Human System.

How viruIent Poisons Are Sometimes
Developed Within the Human System.
Our readers are familiar with the fact
that in Brights disease, the kidneys are
unable fully to remove their allotted pOr-
ton OF the waste matter Of the system.
Hence this accumulates in the blood as
hurtful and often as a fatal poison, the
heart, lungs or brain at length giving way
under its influence.
Still more familiar are they with that
uncomfortable and depressed condition,
popularity known as biiiousness, due to
partial failure in the normal action of the
stomach, liver and bowels In both these
cases the body is, TO greater or less ex-
tent, self poisoned
Thirty years ago it was discovered that
decomposing animal substance develops a
violent poison. Twenty years later the
poisonous principle was isolated, crystal
HZed, and a name given it-ptOmaine. In
1870 Gautier discovered somewhat sim
liar poison in the muscular juice of
healthy animals. and also in their urine.
Later 1t has been extracted from fRcal
matter.
Ali these are poisonous in high de
gree. Some resemble the venom of the
most poisonous serpents. >That obtained
from healthy muscle, when injected in
produced stupor, trembling, universal
spasms, slow respiration, and death i'll
fOrty-five minutes
In 1881 Dr. Gautier found that such
pOisons constantly appear in the excre-
lions of living and healthy animals and
even in the saliva. The term leucOmaine
was adopted as the name of such as are
developed in the living body. They are
believed TO be normal products of bod.
lily waste, as much so as carbOnic
acid, urea, etc. According TO Gautier,
they accumulate in the blood when
for various reasons the skin, the kidneys,
and the digestive tract fail TO eliminate
them
In state of health we resist incessant
sef-poisoning, not only by elimination Of
the poisonous principle, but especially by
its combustion in the body. Says the Bos-
ton Medical and Surgical Journal:
"The greater part of these pOisOns are
very oXidiZable, and it is by the vivifying
influence of constantly renewed supplies
of oxygen in the normal state that they
are burned in the blood, perhaps also in
the tissues, and disappear. But let any
cause whatever diminish the access of all
to the blood, or let the quantity OF
hRmoglobin"-(tha portion of the red
blood corpuscle which has such an affinity
for ~diminish-as in chlOrOsis'
(green sickness) "and an8mia, and there
will soon be an accumulation of azotised
substances of the nature of ptOmaines and
leucOmaines.
Hence the benefit to be obtained from
whatever can excite the functions of the
skin, the kidneys, and the intestines, and
especially from whatever energies res

millionaire who Cot. Fat on Work.

"A good many people wonder" said an
employee Of Armour & Co, why Mr. Ar
, mouT works 30 hard They can't under
stand it, because they do not know the
man Every morning he gets here at
ESQ or 6:+5-never later that the latter
hour. He begins work Immediately and
keeps il up until o'clock in the evening
Some OF the men come at o'clock or half
past. They work until 9, and are willing
to do 50. The hours are long for Office
work, but the men are well paid and well
treated. Armour priIes himself in having
about one OF the finest lot of lieutenants
TO be found in business circles in this
country. There is a head for every de-
partmeut-for the city sales, the foreign
trade, the dressed beef, canned goods, this
glue factory, the butterine, the car service,
the travelling men, etc. Armour works
early and late, but he is never hurried.
He takes plenty of time for everything
he Is never worried, and, therefore, enjoys
his work and thrives on it.
Why, l heard him remark one day, 4
could not live if didn't have my work TO
attend to. People may wonder why get
here SO early IN the morning and stay so
late at night. am not compelled to do
so, nor is it pride l work because l love
work. l never felt so good as when I get
here in the morning and start it. Pm like
a horse-I eat ike horse and am just as
study as an old horse at my work. l feel
SO good some mornings when 1 come
down TO the Office that the buttons pretty
nearly burst off my vest
That's the way the old man. as he
calls himself, feels on the work question.
And l really believe he is better off than
the men who work shorter hours and are
worried and hurried in trying to rush
things through in short time.-Chicago

Near-sichtedness Rapidlv Inoreasing.

That near-sightedness is rapidly increas,
ing is a well-established fact. In fifteen
years the proportion in the Polytechnic
school OF France has risen from 80 to 50
per cent, and 80 per cent. of the students
have to wear glasses. In the ancient am
phitheatres, ss NJ. Sarcey recalls, 10000
spectators sat and viewed the games with
out glass. Contrast modern audience
with this, and consider how much of the
present defective vision is due to ignor-
ance or neglect of proper care and atten-
ton to these delicate Organs.-Chicag1
