The opinion OF the court was sga!nss her
admission, slthough Chief Justice Chase
di5sented, and Mrs. BradRell gave up her

Poisons of Java

THAT she is {

Java and the Archipelago generally
are the centre of polsons, animal and
vegetable. The poison of the sumpitan,
or bloW-tube dart, is very real. The
Bataks, that singular race inhabiting
central Sumatra. and the only known
people who combine cannlbalism with
civilization enough for a written alpha
betical language, are very skillful in
its use. They obtain it from two
sources-on the upas tree and the other
an allied species called the ''TinguS

and burns the skin like boiling oil. L
have many a time seen coolies brought
i'll bowling dIsmally, with heads and
faces swollen to pantomimic SIZE from
having lncautiously struck an axe into
the "ringCs." The only way to attack
il is for the woodmen tc give them
selves thorough coating of grease,
and even then the risk to tie eyes is SO
great that it is generally allowed to
stand. The upas poison, however,
requires to be used quite fresh, as
few hours exposure to the air converts
1t to a crumbly black rosin, quite
harmless. Another poison is obtained
from a species OF vine. bearing clusters

of this are very rapid. 1 have seen the

where a troop of gibbons were yelling
their noisy chorus from a lofty tree top,
and scarcely half minute elapsed be-
tween the dispatch of the missile and
the crashing fall of the struck ape.
Even the gigantic and formidable spe
cies of the ourang-outang, which haunts
the forests of the east coast, falls para
lyZed by two or three of these tiny
darts. One of the most famous poisons
of Java IS obtained from the bamboo.
The young shoots of the cane, when
they first appear, are covered with fine,
brownish hair; this, under powerful
microscope, appears as bayonet-like
spikes of silex, infinitely sharp. and 1
think hollow, though 1 could not be
quite sure. This hair, administered

action must be of mechanical, rather
than chemical, nature, just as with the
terrible effect on the eyes of the spores

me that scores of deaths among Euro.

current rate of fair, stipulates for his
transportation to New York, together
with full supply of wholesome pro-

MERCANTILE MANINiS.
Pieces or Advice Wisely Given to
Those in Business.

A thoroughly honest clerk can al
ways command better salary than
one of equivocal habits.
He who has traded out his neighbours
good opinion is pretty sure to die
poor man, however high the price for
which he sold IT.
When business is attended with min
uteness of detail. strict punctuality, 1t
runs evenly. without jar or friction,
and ensures success
1t is statistical truth that no single
cause leads to more disasters than the
use of liquors, not necessarily through
drunkenness, but the enfeeblIng of the
judgment.
In dress be neat and unobtrusiye.
The perfection of dress is to be so per-
fectly in keeping with your occupation
that the attention of an observer is not
directed to it at all.
Vainly shall a man hope to live and
thrive by buying and selling after his
neighOor; his customers have learned
by sad experience that his word is not
reliable, that his representations of the
cost or quality OF his wares are not to
be trusted
Fuming and fretting in and around
store, finding fault with clerks and
employees, denotes a lack of order and
business tact and exposes the merchant
to ridicule and unpleasant comments
from those from whom he should have
respect and confidence.
Never do business for the sake of do
ing it.
Do not be in a hurry to get rich.
Gradual gains are the only natural
gains.
1t is not the business that elevates
the man, but the man who elevates the
business.
Never take great hazards, for they
are seldom well balanced by the pros
poets of profit.
The man who has not one-half of his
stock paid for IS an unsafe customer,
provided he has no other available
means.
Stick to your business. Let specula-
tors make their thousands in day.
Your increase may be slow, but 1t is
sure and safe.
The honorable merchant who in.
fuses energy, ability, honesty and good
sense in his business, with moderate
capital, invariably succeeds.
When trade Is dull use every legiti'
mate means to improve it. Some mer-
chants stop advertising when trade is
slow. This is just tue time it IS most
| needed.

A brlght-faced, cleanly dressed boy
kept himself busy for nearly two hours

paper to the pedestrians who passed up
the street. They were curious bits of
paper, a great deal smaller than the
average advertising dodger, ard the
closest scrutiny failed TO reveal any
thing on them. Young ladies would
accept them, and after looking at them
with puzzled expressions put them in
their pocketbooks. Old men took out
their speetacles and stopped 70 examine
them closely. Small boys and young men
stood in groups holding them to the
light and looking through them, AMI
finally put them in their pockets for d
future examination. A subsequent i'll

amusement, had paid the boy II DIS

Qualities of Cork.

The density of cork varies with its
quality and age. Thin corks are usu-
ally heavier than those of the SAINT
volume that have grown more rapidly
and i'll cOrks of the same Class the den
sity increases with age. NJ. Brisson
gives 0.240 as an average maximum,
and the ordinary density of a ten year
old cork may be taken at OF. With
extreme lightnesS are associated other
valuable qualities. that of being poor
conductor of heat and sound; imper-
meability to liquid imperfect combusti-
bility, and non liability to decay, by
reason of which 1t is susceptible of
very numerous applications in industry.
The most important use of the sub
stance is for bottle corks. The bark
which is intended to be used in this
form Is kept in a damp cellar. When
taken to the shop 1t IS cut by the first
workman into strips, the width of
which correspond with the length of
the future cork. A second workman
cuts these strips into squares suited in
size to its diameter. The squares
strung are plunged into boiling water
to make them swell out. They are
then stored in a cool place, and kept in
a cool place, and kept constantly moist
by sprinkling, till they pass into the
hands of the cork maker. He applies
them in succession, giving them rot
airy motion to the edge of a wlde-bla-
ded knife, drawing them at the same
time slowly along its length, and by
skilful manipulation transforms the
square into round cork. This Is the
method usually practiced in France.
Workmen in other countries handle the
knife in different manners. 1t is essen
tial, to obtain a good and solid cork,
to take care that its axis, as it Is cut
from the barb, be parallel with the axis
of the tree on which the bark grew;
but the broad fat cork have to be cut
perpendicular to the axis of the tree.
Only the finest corks are now made by
hand. A good workman can turn out
in the method described, about one
thousand corks day.
