The Serious Mistake Accidentally Made
'vs- by a Isavarian Drug Clerk.
A lady entered one of the prominent
drug stores, the other day, desiring a
cure for a cold. The clerk, a man of
long experience, reached into one of
the chests for a popular remedy for
colds, and handed it to the woman, who
went on her way rejoicing. A few
minutes later he opened the chest
again, and, to his horror, found it filled
with poison which had been placed
there temporarily owing to the lack of
labels. The police were Immediately
notified, but failed to find the lady in
question. Criers were sent out, who
ran about the city proclaiming the
incident and telling all who had pur-
chased the popular remedy to proceed
to the station to have it examined.
Red placards were placed upon the bill
boards. Extras were thrown about
the city, with sensational headings
"A Life Endangered" "a Case OF
Poison" and the like-until the whole
town was excited, and the majority of
the inhabitants seemed hunting the
woman with the popular remedy"
The station was overcrowded with
people and invalids of all kinds, who
had come to have their medicines ex,
amined. There was moaning and
crashing of teeth, and historical won
en- declaring, despite rudy cheeks
that they were at the point of death
others ready to take farewell of theil

ENCAUSTlC PROCESSES.

Those Practiced by the Egyptians in the
Time OF the Roman Emperors.
In the older Egyptian mummies the
face of the outer casing is usually
modelled in relief, in purely conven-
tional way, but in this latest form of
burial under the Roman empire a por-
trait of the deceased was painted on a
very thin piece of wood and then fixed
over the dead face. 1t is very re-
marlzable to find such fine coloring
and slillful drawing in work of this
late date, which must have been
turned out of an ordinary undertaker's
workshop. The portraits, both male
and female, are most vivid and life
like; the ladies are mostly dressed in
purple garment and the men in
white, with red orphrey. The model
ing of the flesh is very skillful, and in
some cases the coloring reminds
one of the Venetian school
from it's rich depth of tone. A
special point of interest about these
paintings is their technical execution
in the hot wax. or encaustic process,
as it was called. The pigments were
mixed with melted wax, and then fixed
in their places by holding charcoal
brazier near the surface of the paint
ing, as is described by Vitruvius. The
somewhat lumpy impasto of tho sur
face is due to the hardening of the
melted wax when the brush touched
the cold surface of the panel, and, ow
ing to the non-absorbent nature of the
wood, the subsequent application of
heat was not able to drive the wax be-
low the surface, as was the case with
encaustic painting upon stucco. One
OF these portraits is noticeable from
it's ornamental framing with flowing
pattern, formed by pressing wooden
stamps upon soft stucco, which was
afterward gilt. a process exactly like
that which was so often used to deco
rate medieval pictures on panel, es-
pecially retables, Or ancone, as the
Venetians called them. Saturday Re-

The Thrilling Story of n Danish Explorers
Snow-Sh0e Trip.
Since DR.. Nansen's return to Den
mark he has added very interesting
details to the story of his trip across
Greenland. The fact that his party,
after leaving the ship within twelve
miles of Umivik, where they expected
to begin their land journey, drifted
many miles south in the ice and were
over three weeks reaching their desti-
nation on the coast, shows the i'm
mense difficulty of penetrating the ice
barrier that the prevailing winds keep
constantly packed against the eastern
shores of Greenland.
Some of the isolated natives unac-
customed to the sight of white men,
fed in terror, though Captain Holm's
sojourn among them during one winter
should have taught them better.
Probably no tribe were so thoroughly
introduced to the public by means OF
the camera as these natives, of whom
numerous photographs appear in Cap
tain Holm's recent book.

ton were spectacle worth seeing as

The Crocooile's Rich Feast.

Better far to bear the ills you know
than fly to those you know not of. If
the seventy five Kaffirs at the cape who
bolted from the May Queen reef to rid
themselves of daily toll had borne the
old adage in mind the bulk of them
would have been in the land of the liv-
ing to-day. Instead of that some of
them are in the land of the leal-per-
haps--and others in much warmer
place. This is how it all happened:
When said natives bolted pursuit was
hot. Black men jumped into river,
but only four out of the lot reached the
other side. 1t was case of crocodile
first, and natives next to nowhere.
The crocodiles had a high old time OF
it with seventy-fve plump Kaffirs to
feed upon. In race for liberty q

How He Rescued British Officer at
RisE nj

How He Rescued a British Officer at tho
Risk OF His Own Life.
Death has just removed an aged man
in North Shields, England, who, though
he bore upon his breast the coveted
emblem of the Victoria Cross, was get
ting his living by sweeping the road-
ways as u servant of the Tyne corpora
tion. Edward Jennings was the name
of this distinguished scavenger, who
was seventy-four years old. An Irish
man BY birth, he entered the service
of the John Company" at the age of
sixteen, and was with the British army
that entered Cabul in 1889. The first
engagement in which he fought was
that of Ghuznif, where he received q
medal. He also took part in the capt
ure OF Delhi, during the great mutiny,
and in the relief of Lucknow, and the
saving of Agra from the mutineers, as
well as in severe engagement at
Cawnpore under Sir Colin Campbell.
According to report, it was during the
siege of Lucknow that Jennings, ac-
companied by half a dozen of his
troops, was one day intrusted with the
conveyance of dispatch to a Captain
Remington. On the return journey the
attention OF the party was arrested by
the cries OF q European. Jennings at
once volunteered to go in quest, the
others remaining on the lookout. A
high wall had to be surmounted; then
the horseman galloped along a narrow
street, at the end of which he discov-
cred British officer standing with his
back against wall, bayonet in hand.
endeavoring to keep at bay small
host of excited natives, armed with
short swords. The trooper shouted in
the yernacular. They are coming"
on hearing which the horde broke and
scattered, not before, however, the
Irish private had cut down at least
half q dozen. The ground thus
cleared, Jennings dismounted, and at
tended to the wants of his superior,
whom he found bleeding freely from
several saber wounds, and gunshot
wound, the most serious, on the hip.
The trooper had with him some rum,
which he administered, and then put
the well-nigh exhausted Lieutenant on
his own beast, and, safely emerging,
deposited his charge at the general
hospital. 1t is stated that it was in
return for this act that Sir Colin
Campbell recommended him for the
Victoria Cross. Unfortunately, the
fact that Jennings could neither read
nor write was fatal bar to his obtain
ing commission. -London Tele-

drifts impeded the progress of tho
travellers.
At last they reached the eastern
slope of the frozen sea- and. hosting
their sails, they found that nuch OF
the time it was no longer necessary to
haul on the sledge ropes. Often they
travelled behind their sledges to hold
them back and ratified down the long
slope at splendid rate. Now and
then, however, they were face to face
with the most startling dangers, as
once, when they paused on the edge OF
great crevice which seemed like the
mouth of bottomless abyss. They
had other hairbreadth escapes, and
once nearly lost their lives through
the breaking of snow-bridge.
Earlier travellers on the inland ice OF
Greenland have found that the need OF
making long detours to get around
crevices was one of the greatest OBJ
stacles in their way.
At last the fords of the. western coast
were reached In forty days the little
party had travelled three hundred
miles, from sea to sea. We do not yet
know what scientific value attaches to
this expedition; but it is likely to add
interesting facts to our knowledge Of
this stupendous ice mass, which, NOV
ing very slowly toward the coasts. finds
some outlet for it's accumulations
through the fords. Contemplating
this tremendous ice movement, it is
not difficult to believe that we see in
the Greenland of to-day the conditions
that. in a past geological age, tore
great powders of trap from the Pail
sades, and huge granite and other rock
masses from far northern regions, and
strewed them along the shores of Long
Island.-N. Y. Sun.

he neglects that work, in the hope OF
finding something better suited to his

which he is practically a failure-tho
work to which God has set him, and
the work which he has picked out for

straightens up again at night or during
the cloudy weather, but within few
days dies down and burns up. This
generally happens on hot days. show
ing that the fungus in its needs and
mode of propagation resembles the
black-rot fungus of the grape-7a re-
semblance giving us the clew to the
means of fighting it.
The disease has often been confound-
ed with the work OF a squash borer OR
other insects. The most superficial
examination of the root could hardly
fail to reveal the cause when the borer
is destroying the plant, aud the evil
consequences in that case may often be
averted by covering the first joints Of
the running vines with soil in order to
induce them to strike root there, and
make the plant independent of tns
original root. The fungus attacks the
leaves first, and kills the part above
ground while leaving the root intact,
Some one now comes with an infal-
lible remedy; covering the vines with
elderberry leaves or twigs. The elder
berry as such would not harm a flea.
And yet it is not at all unlikely that
the discoverers this new preventive
measure has been entirely successful
in saving his plants. not especially by
any thing characteristic to the elder
berry, but by the mechanical protec-
ton of providing a cover. 1t will be
remembered that grape vines growing
under a coping are exempt from rot
attacks, and that even the slight
est covering Or protection above
greatly prevents all danger, or
at least lessons the amount OF
injury. We are quite sure that the
melon disease presents an analogous
case, for we have never learned of a
single case of vines under glass having
been attacked by the fungus. Any
covering no doubt, will prove pre-
ventive, elderberry leaves or boards,
cloth, etc. t
Our own experience with remedies
and preventives has given us results
upon which definite and final conclu-
sions might be based. 1t has seemed
to us, however, that the free applica-
ton OF copperas and saltpeter water to
the soil around the plants has lessened
the attacks without giving us entire
exemption. We have found, also that
sulphate of copper in any form
is not u remedy, but il
effectual, must be used as preventive,
in the same way as it is used for mil
dew and rot of grapes. The specialist
of. the Department of Agriculture,
who, during the past season has visited
the localities along the Atlantic coast,
where the disease seems to be most
epidemic, we believe, has come to sim
liar conclusions. We hope that our
readers living where the disease is a
common annual occurrence, will give
the copper remedies, especially the
bordeaux mixture, thorough trial,
and report results. But this is "a. pre-.
ventive only, and should be applied
before the vines are attacked. -Popu.
