Alone in a small, tumble down shan,y
on Sixteenth avenue near Thirteenth
street, lives an old woman who has not
relative near to lend helping hand Her
name is Mrs. Jahns Bergiund Ten years
ago she lived happily with her husband
| in Davenport. At that time she was
| fine looking woman, but a circumstance
occurred that completely broke her down
! in mind and health. Without any cause
her husband deserted her. Leaving her
alone at home he went out, and siuce
| that time she has been unable to obtain
any information as 10 his whereabouts.
She remained at her Davenport home
and waited for his return for weeks and
months, but in vain, for he never re-
turned.
The anxiety at the abs nce of her hus>
band caused her 10 lose her mind To an
extent. aud she finally decided TO move
away from the home where she had had
so much happiness and misery. She had
a little money and came over to Moline,
but was unable to find any friend who
would give her shelter. aud the old
house where she NOW is was offered her
for the small sum of 50 a month. and
she moved what furniture she had Into
| it, and has lived there ever since
| Living alone, with nothing 10 occupy
her attention, her mind of course was al
ways wandering to her past life. and she
became so desponient by brooding over
this that she almost became a raving
maniac.
Finally her money was all gone, and
nothing but an insane asylum stared her
in the face. However. through the kind ,
ness of nrighbors, she has been cared for
the past six months. but of course the
neichbOrs could not afford to keep the
woman. who was at times unable To do
anything for herself. When the spells of

dreadful manner, talking of the many
farms she owns, of her husband. whom

Yesterday as we passed little red de-

against the building and crying. AS we
moved along l saw plain black coffin,

even a squaw, weeping before, and SO
the picture remained with me a long

come. / had always read that the In
dian never wept, but have proved that
to be wrong. Possibly, however, civil
cation has affected the noble red man so
that the women do the working and
weeping while the men do the drinking

Anyway, the common language of
grief made all the passengers at once

little common sense moccasins, all di-
sheveled and down at the heel, and
leaned her dark head against the old

of blue berries would easily buy, her

he asfrst to locate in this country he
did not develop the lead or do assessment
work even, so the thing was open to re-
location. The white man has gone on
and found mineral in places, made big

night shifts, while the Indian is shiftless
day and night, so far as have observed.
But when we see the poor devils buy

they may go very hungry for days after

think solemnly of their melancholy end
And, along with all this, we are led
to ask, Why We're we endowed with
powers and capabilities which enabled
us to put the red man to sleep in two
rounds! Why was the red brother left
to study the trail of the bear and neglect
his soul, while we are enabled with light
ming rapidity to calculate the movements
OF the planets and throw salt on the tail
of the most restless comet?

There Is Nothing Wonderful In Conuec-
tion With Their Origin,
Electricians use many odd terms in
their technical conversations, which are
but component parts Of dead language
to most listeners. Thus, we hear them
speak OF ''farad," ''ohms," ''joules, 4"
'amperes, watts" eic. Tho unit of
capacity is ono farad, the unit OF resist
ancc, one ohm; the unit OF work, one
joulc; the unit of activity, one watt, the
unity OF quantity, one coulomb; the unit
Of current, one ampcre; the unit OF mag
netic field, one gauss; the unit OF press
ure, one volt, and the unit OF force, ono
dyne. Odd ss those names may sound
to the ear, there Is really moth
ing wonderful in connection with
their origin, thoy all having been
derived from the name OF some
man famous in bis Specialized OF elcc-

IhE DEATH PLANI.

u DistIlls . Deadly Perfume Which
Kills Insects and Small birds.
A magnificent kali mujah. or death
plant of Java. has been recently received
here by Mrs Madison Black. The spec
linen, which is the only living one that
has ever been brought to this country.
was sent Mrs Black by her brother.
Jerome Hendricks, who went out as a
missionary to the island. The kali
mujah is found only in the volcanic dis
tricts Of Java and Sumatra, and then
but rarely. 1t grows from two TO three
and a half feet in height with long,
slender stems armed with thorns nearly
an inch long, and covered with broad,
satin-smooth leaves q. q heart. sbare
and of delicate emerald on one side,
and blood red, strealSed with cream, on
the other
The flowers Of the death plant are
large. milk-white and oup-like, being
about the size and depth of a large cof-
fec cup and having the rim guarded by
fine, brier-like thorns. The peculiarity
OF the plant lies in these flowers. which,
beautiful as they are, distill continually
q deadly perfume so powerful as to over
come, If inhaled any length of time,
full-grown man, and killing all forms of
insect life approaching it. The per-
fume, though moro pungent, is as sick
ingly sweet as cbloroform, which 1t
greatly resembles in effect, producing
insensibility, but conyulsing at the
uar th.. 81 Aa
pecially those about the mouth and
eyes. drawing the former up into grin.
An inhalation is followed by violent
headache and ringing in the ears,
which gives way to a temporary deaf
ness. often total while 1t lasts.
Other plants seem To siiun tho kali
mujah, which might be termed the .lsh'
mael of tho vegetable kingdom, for IL
grows isolated from every other form OF
though tho soil may be for
tile. All insects and birds instinctively
seem to avoid all contact with 1t. but
when accidentally approaching it have
been observed to drop to tho earth. even
when as far from 1t as three feet, and.
unless at once removed soon died, evinc-
ing the same symptoms as when ether
zed.
Mr.. Hendricks. who writes describing |
how he secured the specimen sent his I
sister, says he discovered 1t first by see
ing bind of paradise he was endeavor-
ing TO capture alive fall, stunned by the
deadly ordor OF the kali mujal, and on
examining the plant, though warned by
the natives to let II alone, himself OK

A MIXED DOLLAR.
why Can wo Not Have a scrvlcca, ie Coin
of Gold aud Silver.


The silver dollar is too largo. The
gold dollar was too small. Is there any
reason we should not have coin OF
mixed gold and silver something smaller
In size than the twenty-hve-cent piece?
IL would be u value; the dollar-bill only
represents greasy rag. Tho lowest
form OF bill might be the fiye.dollar
note. This is found to work well in
Europe, and even In poor Ireland there
Is no bank bill lower than one pound
note. 1t may be said that currency OF
mixed metals would not bo serviceable
for. exchange with foreign coun-
tries. Perhaps that might be so
much the better, as 1t would
remain fixed native circulation.
This objection. however, applies
oven more reasonably to bills. which
ere OF themselves OF no value. but tho
mixed metal coin would be still bullion,
containing the weight of gold and sill
vor that, taken together, constitutes the
value OF the dollar.
1t seems TO me that this would use UP
our surplus silver. Does IL ever occur
to any one that contagious diseases may
be circulated by these bills? Surely, II
the grippe was conveyed from Russia to
the English foreign Office in West
minister, the cholera could be conveyed
in wad Of bills, worn on the person OF
cholera patient; yet who thinks OF
fumigating money? No, sir; we arc too
glad to get hold of il to make any
truuble.-Arena.
