Poison for Arrow Tips.

We are indebted to Mr.. Frank Smith
of Whitewater for a very graphic ac-
count of the manner in which a Piute
Indian prepared his deadly arrows. He
gathered a dozen or more rattlesnake
heads and put them in a spherical
earthen vessel. With these he put half
pint of species of large red ant that
is found hereabouts. The bite of this
ant is more poisonous than that of
bee. Upon these he poured bit of
water. and then sealed up with moist
earth and lid of this vessel. He then
dug a hole two feet deep into the
ground, in which he built roaring fire
and put in some stones. When the in
terror of the hole and the stones were
red hot he made place in the bottom
for the earthen vessel and put it in.
About it and upon it he put the Goals
and hot stones, and upon the top he
built fierce fire and kept it up for
twenty-four hours. Then he dug out
his vessel, and. standing off with a
long pole, he disengaged the top and
let the fumes escape. He insisted that
had they struck his face it would have
killed him. The mass left in the
vessel was dark brown paste.
70 test the efficacy of his concoction.
the Indian with his hunting knife made
a cut in lbs bare leg, just below the
knee, and let the blood run down to
his ankle. Then taking a stick. he
dipped it into the poison and touched
the descending blood at the ankle. 1t
Immediately began to sizzle, as if it
were cooking the blood, and the poison
followed the blood right up the leg,
sizzling its way, until the Indian
scraped the blood off with the knife.
He assured our informant that had he
allowed it to reach the mouth of the
wound he would have been dead

WASTEFUL ECONOMY,
1t Doesn't Pay to Stint the Furnishing
of the Kitchen.

Many a young wife," said mother
ly woman the other day to n. Y.
Tribune writer. "would find the wheels
of her household moving much more
smoothly if she would spend little
less money on the furnishing of her
drawing-room and devote it, instead,
to supplying her kitchen with labor
saving appliances and plenty of uten-
sils. Economy in kitchen utensils may
easily be pushed too far. and if there
is one place where woman may be
more readily excused than another for
extravaganza it is just there.
10 have to stop in the middle of
making dessert in order to clean
saucepan or kettle in which the soup
had been prepared, because you have
not another, is folly when soup-kettles
can be had for 25 cents each. To have
your kitchen-knives of such poor metal
that they will not stay sharp OF to let
good knife remain dull because YOU
think you can not afford to spend 10
cents to have it sharpened is real
waste of strength out of all proportion
to the saving. To have nothing by
which you can measure your in-
iONiSuLS dSSuAdt OCSduSC IL SoStS
more to buy a set of weights or
graduated glass measure than to trust
to guess work and an old teacup has
spoiled many a good dish that cost
just as much and has brought humilia-
tion on many good cook. To scrape
your porridge-pot with spoon because
you will not buy patent pot-scraper
for II cents wears out ten spoons to
one pot-scraper, and the hired girl in-
variably selects your best spoon fol
that purpose. Sitting the coal ashes is
such dirty business as it is usually
performed and the servant kicks
against it so vigorously that the most
economical housekeeper soon abandons
it in despair. A patent ashsifter
that allows no dust to escape and pre-
serves all the half-burned coal will
paw for itself in one winter and last
five. A cheap refrigerator can be had
for one-third the cost of good one of
the same size. but if you buy it your
ice bill will be twice as large.
There is hardly anything in the
kitchen of which there are not two
varieties, the cheap and the dear. and
the result of the use of either is gen.
orally its exact opposite in actual cash.
But in comfort to ones self and to
ones husband and children saving of
time, temper, brain-worry, and back
ache. they repay their own cost many
times over every week"

Bottom Facts About Wool.

Wool is kind of hair. The hair is
plant rooted in the skin. Its root is
a cone. connected with the sensitive
layer of the skin, whence it draws sus-
tenance. Its life is not identical with
the life of the body, for hair grows
more or less after death. This root
of the hair" exudes the hair pulp. which
is formed into cells containing the pig
row of these cells forms ring. As
the ring of cells is pushed away from
the skin by the giving out of fresh pulp
from the root. the cells dry. and scales
are formed, almost like the scales of
fish. A hair seen through micro
scope is thus long tube formed by a
sheath made up of these rings of scales.
The human hair is usually long,
straight. and regular, and the scales
are SO fine and so close together that
the edge appears like the teeth of a
kery fine saw. Goats hair has more
nGrowth and longer cells. SO that
IS regular and straight. and
OMs little of the tooth-like edge. The
hair of sheep of the common sort is
also irregular, with a tendency to curl
or wave, but with marked tooth-like
edges. This is WOOL and it is the ten
dency to twist and the barbed projec-
tions which give this fibre its peculiar
advantages.
The hair of the negro, with its ten
deney to kink or curl, is mockingly
called "wool, because it to this extent
resembles the hair of the sheep. Curly
hair is, as a matter of fact, less perfect
fl,ay, str. airrl,f h.,f, prf oil
this range-of the human plant, goats
hair, and Sleeps wool--nature shows
such close gradations that it would be
difficult to draw an exact line between
hair and wool, or in this respect to sep
arate the sheep from the goats. Wit
ness the Angora goat, whose fleece.
known as mohair. is reckoned super
ior wool, and the Peruvian alpaca, or
llama.
The microscope distinguishes very
clearly. however. between wool and
silk. the fibre of which is an even dou-
BILE tilament of gum exuded by the silk
worm; and between wool and the veg-
etable tibres, such as cotton, which,
growing as tube, dries into half
twisted ribbon. having no barbed edge.
The root of the hair has u natural ten
dency to dry up as warm weather APP
proaches, allowing the hair to fall free
from the skin; thus animals 'tshed their
coats" But when hair is cut. as with
human beings, or the fleece sheared, as
In the caseof sheep. nature adapts itself
to the demand upon it, and growth is
continuous. The number of these
fibres is wonderful. On the pelt of a

mont Board of Agriculture, reckoned
with his microscope 222. 800 to the
square inch; an ordinary open-wool
sheep will have one-thirtieth as many.

THE TARIFF BILL AGAIN TO BE
SIDE-TRACKED.
A Hitch in the Nomination of Customs
Appraisers-M. M. Estee Thought to be
Slated for One of the Places.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Although be-
fore adjournment yesterday the senate
formally took up the tariff bill and thus
made it pending business, it will be in
formally laid aside while the senate con-
siders the sundry civil appropriation
bill. The tariff may be taken up We'd
nesday, but this depends upon the
action of the caucus Monday night. An
other effort is to be made in the house
this week to secure the passage of the
original package and bankruptcy bills
under the operation OF the special rule,
as soon as the pending land grant for
feiture bill is out of the way.
1t is expected that the board of GUS
toms appraisers will be completed the
present week by the nomination of four
additional appraisers, divided equally
between the two political parties. Mr..
Stackpole, "a prominent lawyer of Boston,
and General Snowden, formerly assistant
appraiser at Philadelphia, are said to
have been already selected. There ap-
pears to be hitch regarding the other
two, although it is said Estee, OF Cali
fornia, will be the Republican nominee
provided he meet the requirements ol
the law in regard to Encouragement i'll

ON LAKE PEPIN.
Several Hundred Persons RepOrte
Drowned.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July 12.-The
steamer Sea King left Red Wing, Min
nesota, this afternoon with 25O passen-
gers on board, bound for Lake City,
where the state encampment of the
state militia is in progress. At several
small towns along the shore of Lake
Pepin enough more people were taken
on board to make about $50 when the
boat reached its destination. A barge was
in tow which carried 100 OF this number.
Late this afternoon the party re-em-
barked for home, and was in the middle
of the lake off Lake City when cyclone
struck the little city. The boat became
unmanageable at once. The barge was
cut loose, and after an hour drifted to
the shore with about twenty people on
board. The other two hundred or more
were drowned. 1t is impossible at this
time to give the names, but among the
drowned are some of the best
known and most prominent peo-
pie of Red Wing and vicinity.
A number of bodies have already been
washed ashore, and the citizens have
formed voluntary police service to
patrol the shores and watch for the
others. The search will continue through
the night The storm did great damage
to property in and about Lake City, but
no lives were destroyed on shore so far
as reported.
ST.. PAUL, July 13.-A report has just
been received in this city that cyclone
or hurricane struck the little city OF
Lake City, located on Lake Pepin, about
seventy miles below here, and that a
large number OF people were killed by
the sinking of steamer. The steamer
Sea King was coming up the lake at
about 8 O'Clock tonight, and when oppo-
site the city, the storm struck it fairly
and sent it to the bottom. There were
on board some 15O people from Diamond
Bluff, and about fifty more were on
barge which was in tow. The loss OF life

DESTRUCTIVE FLAMES.
The Biggest Fire for Several Years In
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, July 13.-One of the
most destructive fires that occurred in
this city for several years, broke out at 4
O'Clock this morning in the planning
mill of II. T. Atkinson, at Tenth street
and Susquehanna avenue. The wind
carried the flames across Tenth street to
the east side, and Atkinson's lumber
yard also caught fire. The extensive
wall paper manufacturing establishment
of Carey Bros, which was separated
from Atkinson's mill property by mar
row street, was next to go. Inside OF
half an hour from the time the flames
attacked Carey Bros establishment,
that magnificent building was COM
plete mass of ruins. The firemen scarcely
attempted to check the flames in Carey
Bros building, as they realized that
their efforts were hopeless, ,butsucceeded
in saving rows of small houses occupied
mainly by employees. When the walls
fell, the bricks piled against these
houses, and the frightened occupants
made their escape from the rear, and
women and children, half dressed, ran
through the streets terror-stricken.
Meanwhile the planning mill had been
completely destroyed. The firemen
succeeded in quenching the flames in
the lumber yard after its contents were
partly destroyed. The losses OF Atkin-
son will reach $4,000, and Carey Bros.
fully half million,
