How Savages Poison Their
Arrows,

Where do these savages get this
atrocious poison and what does it
consist Of? They getit from their own
flesh and blood, and it consists q
nothing but the fluids of the human
body. When they want a supply o.
poisoned weapons they take mum.
Der of corpses after u battle, or they
kill number Of prisoners expressly,
and, having left the bodies to putrefy
in the burning equatorial sun tor
some days, they stick them full OF
spears and arrow heads, which they
leave there for weeks or months, OF
until the bodies are entirely dried up
That is the whole process. When
those spears and arrows are drawn
out, they are imperishably stepped
in poison as deadly as that OF Echyf
carinata or wourali-a poison which
is absolutely destructive of the life O
every creature whose blood it touch

A Man with a Lariat.

A man was found nearly buried in
the sand near San Francisco. Two
deputy coroners could not pull him
out. A horseman was sighted. This
is what happened: He rode up to
them, and when the situation wasex-
planned. calmly alighted, united II
long lariat which was coiled at the
back OF his saddle, and without a
word began to make one end of it
fast about the upper portion of the
dead mans body. The rope was
passed under the arms and tied in q
knot at the shoulders. Having ac-
complished this the stranger paused,
and looked up at the astOnished
morgue officials rs much rs to say:

it will only take one horse such as
this u.s."
AS he said this he pointed to his

A Unique Newspaper.

Lying on the desk of Mr.. w. B.
Somerville, in his cozy Office in the
big Western Union building, report
er espied very strange newspaper.
At first it looked like n large piece OF
foolscap closely written, but upon
closer examination it proved to be a
real live newspaper written by hand.
This unique newspaper is published
at Prince Albert, small hamlet in
the center OF the Canadian northwest
territory, and is called the The Prince
Albert Critic. 1t size is four pages,
four columns to thepage.
The paper has circulation of sew
eral hundred copies and is a specimen
of what can be done by an enterprise
ing journalist with font of type.
The mode of issuing it is rather pc.
culiar. The matter, instead of being
set in type, is written in ink with an
electric pen on prepared paper, the
rest of the issue being imprints of the
original sheet. The paper is newsy
for it's size, contains quite number
of advertisements and is the official
paper OF the hnmlet.-New York

Other Worlds,

BY means Of the spectroscope n
very wonderful discovery has been
made respecting Sirius. Astronom-
ers had noticed that this star was
in rapid motion through space, and
it was found that year by year it
was changing it's position in the
heavens, traversing in about fifteen
hundred years q space equal to the
apparent diameter of the moon, at Il
velocity of no less than twenty miles
per second. OF course, by actual OBJ
servation the only motion capable
of being detected would be that
which was square to the line ofsight,
so that although Sirius appears to
us to move across the heavens. he
may really be travelling in slanting
direction, either toward or from us.
No one would ever have expected to
be able to tell whether q star was
approaching to or receding from
US, yet even this seemingly
insolvahle problem has of late years
been accomplished by the spectre
scope. DR.. Higgins, our greatest
authority on this subject, having,
identified certain lines in the spec
trum of Sirius as those of hydrogen,
found on comparison that these were
displaced in such manner as to in
dictate that the star was receding
from us. 1t has been estimated that
this recession, combined with the
thwart motion of twenty miles per
second, gives as the actual move
ment of Sirius in space II speed OF
about thirty three miles per second.
These. then, constitute some Of the
chief items Conformation about Sri

There seems to be no reason to doubt
that, in common with other suns, he
has his system of planets circling
round him after the manner o
our own sun; and what a sys

dwarfed into insigniticance compared
with a system whose ruling orb is
5000 times larger than that which
does duty for us. There seems, also
no reason to doubt that these planets
are intended to be the abode of lite
it may be that at the present mo
menu none of them present any signs
of life, but think we may safely in
fer without improbability, that eacl
one OF those worlds has n destined
period in it's development during
which life, similar to that which nov
prevails on our planet, would be il

would be, in size perhaps not inferio
to that of our sun, himself a million
times large than our earth; and i

Col. Dudley Had Enough.

Col. W. W. Dudley has for years
taken great interest in phrenology.
and his library at his home here is
filled with books on that subject. A
short time ago he read that new
and wonderful book had been pub
lished giving diagrams of the noted
men of the day. Col. Dudley at once
sent tor the work, and on it's arrival
eagerly opened it. On the first page
was a head which seemed strangely
familiar. Every bump was dag
nosed, and some very peculiar char
acteristics were given to the ow ner
Of the bumps. He was treated I'm.
sparingly, and the trend of the idea
throughout was that man with
such a head would have hard time
reaching the other world. Col. bud

quiet, turned tho page to finish and
saw there in small capitals: This
