SHE WAS POISONEDl

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call It blues"

DANGERS OF ELECTRICITY.
A Timely Inquiry That Is Certainly Not
Frivolous One.

Frivolous One.
The continuous current is like
snake, which strikes once and loses its
fangs- The alternating current is a
snake which can strike again and again
The latter current is coming into use in
electric lighting, and it may yet be en-
ployed in the transmission of power.
Theory indicates certain advantages In
its use over that of the continuous cur
rent. The dangers from its employ
mont are very great, and will need care
full safeguards.
1t is not, however, the possible risk TO
life in the contact with the ground and
a dangling dead wire which has come
in contact with the overhead system OF
electric propulsion, that constitutes the
most serious danger from electricity.
What is most to be feared is the ease
with which extensive fires can be started
in cities by means of bare or poorly In
sulated electric circuits. Of which the
earth forms a portion. The electric
current seeks to return to the generator
which produces 1t by the path OF least
resistance. II, therefore, telegraph or
telephone wire, or any metallic conduc-
tor. should come in contact with a bare
wire conveying powerful current, this
current would seek the ground by every
possible way; and IL the telegraph or
telephone wire should be connected with
the ground, the powerful current would
be directed through telegraph or tele.
phone instruments in Offices and houses
to ground connections. 1t is said in re-
ply to this view, that lightning frequent
ly has entered houses by telephone and
telegraph wires, and has merely burnt
out a coil or fused wire, and has not
caused any serious confiagration. A
sudden discharge through circuit, how.
ever, is not so dangerous as slow, in
sidious heating, which might 60 on for
several hours before it is discovered
This heating could easily be produced
by portion of a powerful current leak
ing into houses and offices from a wire
which has fallen upon bare metallic
circuit through which a current is flow.
ing. What is to prevent, 1t may be
asked, great city being set on fire by
electricity, in hundred places at once,
on the night of blizzard? The inquiry
is certainly not frivolous one. The
elements of danger are with us, and the
question of safeguards demand the most
careful consideration by our municipal
authorities.

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.


DON'T be ''chicken-hearted," nor too
greedy, in wedding out the culls.
HENS do not eat their eggs unless
they learn the habit from having eggs
broken in the nest Never use stale OF
frozen eggs as nest-eggs.
IN buying poultry for breeding pur-
poses go to some reliable breeder who
has his reputation at stake. Itmay cost
little more for the birds. but the buyer
can depend on what he gets. Culls are
expensive at any price
To MAKE a good, warm breakfast for
forty fowls boil heaping half-peck of
potatoes, mash them, add one quart
each of shorts and bran, teaspoonful
each OF salt and pepper, and finish by
adding hot water enough to mix into a
stiff dough.
Fowls need far more care during
damp, rainy weather than during the
clear, cold weather of winter, or the y,
warm weather of summer. Dampr -ss
engenders numerous disorders, many
of which are difficult to cure. There

TRAITS OF MexICANS.

They Are Artiatic and Their Children
Have an Intellectual Bent
That the Mexicans are an artistic
people no one who lives long among
them can deny. In music they excel,
and all that is needed to make Mexico
take first place among musical ma
tions is the wider diffusion of technical
musical education. The veriest gamin
can catch at once a novel air. and bits
from the operas are everywhere heard
from the most ignorant of the lower
classes. Not only are the Mexicans
musical people. but they are lovers OF
art in all its forms. and their manners
are pleasing. whether you take the
most polished and travelled citizen or
the humblest peon. Daily intercourse
with educated Mexicans has charm
about it that is delightfu to northern
er;they ara polite. not from affection, but
because they are trained TO be so from
their youth, and also because they are
DESTROYS OF pleasing. being by nature
kindly and warm-hearted. Well might
the United States copy the manners
which the Mexicans have for everyday
use. as between parents and children.
masters and servants. and between the
poorest and the poor, who sometimes
seem to possess little else but their
courteous ways. The Mexicans are the
Italians of this continent; they have
been kept to the rearward of richer and
more fortunate nations by their long
and disastrous civil wars. Give the
poor people of this country educational
privileges FOR twenty years and they
will come up as the Italians have done
since Italy became one country for all
her children.
One thing a foreigner in Mexico
comes to notice is the decided intel
lectual bent of the youth OF the land.
Mexicans have great facilities in &C
quiring languages. and almost every
lad in the higher schools knows French
and reads il as well as he does Spanish.
They take up English with enthusiasm
and master its abominable photography
and difficult pronunciation by dint OF
downright hard work. II is difficult
for US, trained in the Anglo-Saxon
