THINGS DOCTORS 90 NOT KNOW.
Their Ignorance Illustrated In the Robin
son Poisoning Cases.

Their IEunrnuFe Illustrates IN the h004u-
son Poisoning Cases
There was a connotion snong the doc
tors at a recent meeting OF the Hassachu-
setts MedicoIegal Society, when IL was
found that reporters for secular newspar
pers were taxing notes Papers bearing
specially on the notorious Robinson ar
senicaI poisoning cases had been an
nounced.
DR.. Holt declared that there was general
ignorance OF the symptoms Of ~arsenical
poisoning. and claimed tina. because Of this
ignorance the Robinson poisoning cases
had gone on without arursing suspicious on
the part OF mesiical men There were, he
said, at least eight cases OF criminal poison
ing; seven occurred within five years, and
in one family, and tho other was that Of .
relative
The cases were all treated by physicians
Of large practice, prominent in the profess
sion, and yet no suspicion Of arsenical
poisoning was aroused until an organizz-
ton in which the victims were insured
tired 70 determine by investigation why 20
many persons died suddenly in this family
In support Of his statement ~ 70 the ig-
rorance Of medical men OF the symptoms Of
arsenical poisoning, the doctor remarked
that certificates OF death were given in i've
OF the Robinson cases rs follows: pneu-
monia. typhoid fever, meningitis, bowel dis
ease and Bright's disease.
The startling disclosure OF the stupid ig-
norance shown in the treatment OF those
cases Is quite in keeping with the usual in
discretion manifested by the profession In
the treatment Of persons who are sufferers
from the slow ms subtle poison which il
generated in the system from . diseased
state OF the kidneys
The afflicted are treated for consumption,
l~Doplexy, for brain and various nervous
disorders, when in most instances, it u
shown, when too late, that the patient wa
wrougfuily and ignorantly treated for .
supposed disease winch was, in reality, but
q symptom OF kidney disease, and should
have been timely treated As such by the
use Of Warmers Safe Cure. which Is the
only remedy known that can be success
fully relied on IN tie treatment Of such
disease.
Such exhibitions OF stupidity by those
who profess great intelligence in sush mat.

and il can well De said that q remedy hks

agricultural Notes.

THE best tool a farmer has is his brain.
lake time to read and study about
your work and you Will accomplish
more.
ONE advantage in keeping careful
farm accounts is that they enable you to
determine what products of the farm
| are profitable and which are not.
CROP of colts, "A crop of early lambs,
| plenty of the best butter from each COW,
and lots of pigs to sell is good foun-
dation for successful farming.
NEVER too old to learn" is very ap-
| plicable to the farmer, for in no other call
! ing does a man have such opportunity
to learn from nature, the best educat or
| of all.
FARMER fathers, give your boys and
| girls such instruction that they will be
| leaders and bulwarks against evil in all
| its forms, whether they go into the city
or stay on the farm.
AN exchange tells us farmer of Ian
| caster County, Nebraska, has an ear of
corn which weighs one pound nine and
| one half ounces, but does not give the
weight of the cob. Some very large
| cobs have very little corn on them.
THERE are farmers in almost every
| community who do not seem to realize
| that this is an age of progress, and that
| if they are to hold their places or go
| forward, they must be alive, and keeenly
| alive, to the times in which they live.
WANT Of forethought among mapy
| farmers, is the main reason for their
failure to acquire competency. They
| buy more land than they can use, often
| times with borrowed capital, and can lily
| afford to pay interest and taxes on that
| which brings no income.
THERE are questions of general inter-
| est occurring every day on the farm, in
| the solution of which most farmers will
| secure some aid, if they Will attend the
| Institutes held in their county or dis
trict. If there are none to be held,
| agitate the matter till you get one.
ALL farming is in one sense a con-
| tinuous. never ending round of sowing,
| cultlvatlng, reaplng, Just as the year is
| ever spring, summer, fall and winter.
| And yet who ever saw two seasons alike,
| or the cultiyating of the soil that ought
| to have been the same? We must study
| our work if we are going to max a sue
| cess of it.
| LUTHER BURBANK, the originator of
| the Burbank seeding potato. once said,
| When | was in Massachusetts / made
| money raising sweet corn and cabbages."
! In regard to the latter he remarked,
| My nei9hbors in the fall hunted for
| market for their cabbages Mt one half
| cent per pound, and the marketmen ran
| after me III the following May and June
| to buy mine at conts per pound" Do
| you see the point?
! If You are going to build any new
| buildings on the farm, first think well
| over the object for which they are to be
used before You decide upon their loca-
| ton. A new ice-h house should be located
in the shade of tree, if possible, and
in a northern exposure, while the cow
| house or hen house should have just the
| opposite position. Especially should
the hen-house be located on a sunny
| exposure. Always consider these things
in locating building, on the farm, giving
| preference to the most important, but
| neglectIng none.

THE DAIRYMAN.

A DAIRYMAN says he invariably cures
caked udder by thoroughly aud carefully
rubbing it with mixture comp osed of
two ounces of pulverized iodide of po-
tassa and two ounces of lard.
To SELL the milk of jersey or Guern-
sey to milk buying cheese factory would
be financial suicide, or to keep n
cheese-cow to send half pound of
butter fats per day to a cream buyir p
factory is another folly.
EVERY COW has limit beyond whi9h it
is not safe to try to force her, and in
finding out where this limit lies is OPP
portunity for the use of the feeder s
best powers of observation and good
judgment. In general the high bred
COW will stand more forcing than those
of common stock.
IN England the Shorthorns are re-
garded as excellent dairy cattle, followed
by the Ayrshires. In Ireland the Kerry
COW is the favorite, while in this countrv
the Holstein is considered the heaviest
mixer. The Jersey and Guernsey cattle
are regarded as superior. butter pro-
ducers in America and Europe, the
Devons make the best oxen, and the
Herfords, Shorthorns, Angus, and Gal
loways the best and greatest proportion
of beef,
If the buttermilk would thoroughly
please his patrons and secure from
them the highest prices going, his but
ter must not only be of good quality but
uniformly good. 1t will not do to fur
nish poor article one month out of the
twelve, or even one week out of the
fiftytwo. When butter is so evenly SUI
perior that customers are able to detect
no appreciable variation in it the max er
should be getting fine price.

TILE BITTER AND THE SWEET.
4 Tale of Two Continents.
BY MRS. NINA LAWSON.
CHAPTER XXIII-CONTINUED.

CHAPTER ANIIl-CONTINUED
The great old clock in the hall had
just struck eleven, when the door of
jcannctte's room was opened, and
tail, slender figure glided out and
crossed the corridor to Lenora's room.
ANY one would have thought that
Mrs. Bristol had been paying Jean
nette late visit, but it was not she,
bat the wicked girl herself on her way
To the sick chamber to carry out her
murderous plan. Fortunately for
Jeannette, the door was not locked ;
she noiselesslv opened it and glided
INTO the room like a shadow. Lenora's
eyes were closed.
Thank heavens, she is asleep! Now
I hope the nurse Is also. for then the
coast Will he perfectly clear and then
it won't be but moment or two until
that sleeping beauty will sleep for ever. +"
With murderous GOODNESS and quiet
ness Of nerve, she ghded along by the
ice Of tie bed until she came in front
OF her beautiful victim Quick as a
flash She drew large handkerchief
from the DO ON of her dress and Gov
cled Lenora's face. She then placed
her large, strong hand over LenOra's
mouth and nose in such manner that
not particle OF air could reach the
lungs
Jeannetta's poor little victim strug-
@led violently in her weakness to extri-
cate hers. If from that death grip, but
all seemed in vain.
All. You miserable, cursed little
witch. | have you this time, and you
Bat before her scorched, maddened
Iias could finish the sentence she felt
some one grasp her arm and give it
such jerk as to almost wrench it out
Of place
You contemplate, wicked thing !!
Now | know that it was you who gave
hat poor, innocent child that poison
shall report you to the mistress of
this house, and YOU shall be punished
according to your crime"
Let so my arm, or [ will kill you
instantly with this knifel"
As she spoke, she flashed o long,
tWoeigcd knife in the face of the
nurse.
Is Jeanette entered the room and
advanced toward the bed, her shadow
rejected on the wall In such manner
hat t attracted the nurses attention
and as she was curious to know what it
meant, also careful and watchful of her
.ltte patient, she slipped from her bed
nd went nosn Iessly to Lenora's.
she instantly saw what was the mat
+. and sTrang to the murderess' side,
10 save har patient, 5 life, if possible.
Jeanette had forgotten nothing.
he handkerchief that was spread
over Lenora's face smelt strongly of
aroform, and in a few moments the
p =, weak girl was partially under its
H.sU nee. so much so that she made no
npt 70 remove it, and lay perfectly
sits. When Jeanette removed it,
-eaora looked rs if she were dead.
!most before the nurse could turn
und to call FIR help. a handkerchief
a lratcl wifi chloroform was pressed
o.er her mouth, and in a few moments
he faH back into Jeannette's arms.
Not until then did the cunning, wick
e woman remove the handkerchief
rom lenoras face.
Thank heavensl / have succeeded
a5 last, for she is dead-yes, dead, at
asst.
