Will DiSafm Europe.

Ex-Senat or John B. Henderson, of
Missouri, prominent American
member of the late Pan-American
congress, is credited by the New York
Press with saying that the con gress
on the whole has been a success. A
great part of it's work was chaff.
There were SO many impracticable
things proposed, that, nevertheless,
had to be considered befoge they
could be put aside in due order, that
it seemed more chaff than wheat for
some time.
1.-THE International arbitration res.
olution was the action which will
make the greatest stir in the world
at large. 1t will eventuate, I think,
in the disarmament of Europe-not
at once, perhaps, but in the fullness
of time. No people on the face of the
earth can long continue to pay for
the maintenance of such standing
armies as are camped in Europe.
The only way to relieve themselves
of the burden is to accept peace as
the normal condition Of mankind
and agree to abide in peace. We
have been long enough at peace on
the American continent without
keeping up standing armies to real
ize what it is to feel that peace is
perpetual. But European peoples
are beginning to see the same thing
and hope to realize it,"

Japanese Sensftiveness.

From John La Farge's japanese let.
tiers now appearing in the Century we
quote the following: "The japanese
sensitiveness to the beauties of the out
side world is something much more
delicate and complex, and contempla-
tive, and at the same time more nat
ural, than ours has ever been. Outside
of Arcadia. know of no other land
whose people hang verses on the trees,
in honor of their beauty; where fami-
lies travel far before the dawn to see
the first light touch the new buds.
Where else do the newspaper announce
the spring blossoms? Where else
would be possible the charming alb
surdity of the story that W. was
telling me of having seen in cherry
blossom time some old gentleman,
with capacious sake gourd in hand
and big roll of paper in his girdle,
seat himself below the blossom show
ers, and look and drink, and drink and
write verses, all by himself, with no
gallery to help him? If there is con-
vention in tradition half obligatory,
and if we, Western lovers of the tree,
do not quite like the Japanese refine
ment of growing the cherry merely
for its flowers, yet how deliciously up
side-down from us, and how charming
is the love of nature at the foundation
of the CUSTOM"

Constant Surveillance.

In order to guard against constant
larcenies the wholesale dry goods
houses of New York city have an in
genious system of checking, which is
in force alike for every employe of the
houses and for every patron and
visitor who enters their doors. Be-
fore a parcel can be carried from the
building it must first pass into the
hands of a private clerk, who informs
himself accurately as to it's contents
and puts check mark on the wrap
per if it is found to contain nothing
.contraband. At the outer door the
package passes again into the hands
of doorkeeper, who must see first
that it has been properly certified to
by the clerk, and second that the
check is properly Cancelled before it
leaves his hands, in order that the
wrapper may not be used second
time.
SO vigorously is this system enforc-
ed that if a visitor enters any ofthese
establishments with package-no
matter how small-in his hand, he
must give the doorkeeper the privi-
lege ofremarking upon it's outer wrap
per, in his hieroglyphic way, that the
package has been brought into the
building, and before the visitor is
permitted to take himself off the door
keeper must be allowed to cancel his
remarks.
And so with the employees; if one
wishes to make a parcel ola supertlu-
GUS wrap or pair of overshoes to
carry out of the building the clerk
must be notified of his purpose, must
examine the package, it must bear
his private check, and then pass tor
cancellation into the hands of the
door keeper. And yet, the Sun says,
with all this precaution the larcenies
committed annually are said often to
aggregate thousands of dollars.

A Sanitary Wash-House.

the purpose of a general sanitary wash

built and opened in 1883. its cost being

RattleSnake Poison.

People whose nerves are shaken by
the sight of a snake had better keep
away from the Staked Plains. Rat
tlesnakes grow there six feet long and
10 inches in girth, with fangs an inch
long and poison-bags the size of a
hazelnut. The Apaches are desper-
ately afraid of them, but draw from
them the poison for their arrows.
They do this generally in the month
of August, when the snakes are
the most venomous, but at the same
time bloated and torpid. The Apache
carefully approaches one of these
monsters with the heart or liver of a
freshly-killed deer, which he shoves
in front of the reptiles head with a
stick. The snake sinks his tangs into
the flesh again and again. The In
dian at last snatches it away from
him, and hangs it up in the sun to
putrefy. When the Apache wants to
test it's venom he calls his squaw and
makes her cut her arm or leg so that
the blood will flow. He touches the
stream five or six inches from the
wound with a tiny drop ofthe poison
on stick. If the blood instantly
coagnlates and turns black he is sat
Isfied. The squaw must be exceeding
~ careful to have the flow jet out Sc
strongly that none of the poison en-
tiers her veins, or she will be past all
surgery before her lord has finished
his grunt of satisfaction.

same day, to meet the necessities OF
poor families. visited the house on q
day when 1900 pieces, from 25 differ.
ent families, had come in. In 1887,
600 washings. aggregating $4,000
pieces, were done. The quantity, of
course, varies from year to year with
the amount of infectious disease in the
city. The establishment has a crema.
tory, to which all household articles
whatsoever that are to be burned after
a case of infectious disease must be
brought by the vans of the sanitary de
partment. The carpet-cleaning ma

infection by steam, by chemicals. and
by boiling cannot here describe.
''The departments disinfecting and

authorities at once take possession of

GAS net results of the sanitary work
of the Glasgow authorities may be
mentioned the almost extinction of
some of the worst forms of contagious
disease, and mastery of the situation
which leaves comparatively little fear
of widespread epidemics in the future,
in spite of the fact that Glasgow is a
great seaport, has an unfavorable
climate, and has an extraordinary
dense and badly housed working popu-
lation. The steady decline of the total

decline as regards those diseases at
which sanitary science more especially
aims its weapons, are achievements

An Anecdote of Sam Houston.

Houston was beaten for the Senate
by Louis Wigfall, who cut such a
brilliant and yet inefficient figure at
the outbreak of the war. Old Sam
Houston was asked what kind of a
person this MIR. Wigfall was who had
succeeded to his place. Houston said:
Gentlemen, 1 know him well; he is
the most eloquent, brilliant d - fool
in all Texas
When Houston had been beaten by
Wigfall it occurred to Iverson, of
Georgia. who was not much of a man, to
get up in the Senate and lacerate the
old hero. He called attention to the
fact that Houston had been repudiated
by the people of his State, and said he
hoped that would be the fate of all men
who were traitors to the South.
The Senate thought nothing of Iver-
son, and everybody was curious to
know what Houston would say. The
old man sat there whiting piece of
wood with knife. He was six feet
five inches high. held himself very
erect, was remarkable actor; and al
ways impressive when he desired to
be. Hardly anybody looked at Iver-
son, for his speech was felt to be in the
light of an attack upon human nature.
Sam Houston, the hero of Texas, the
former Governor of Tennessee, was
down, and this little fellow misappre-
hended he had a chance to injure him.
After Iverson concluded, Houston
sat still while till he concentrated
upon himself the attention of the Sem
ate. He then rose, and, in common
place way, referred to his defeat. 1T
is true, gentlemen, that am politically
dead. There appears to be no breath
in my life, as far as the public service
is concerned, hereafter. The condem-
nation of me at the polls has been
condign. I did not think, however,
that after my defeat the State of Geor-
gia would be the one to come and
taunt me with my Disaster
Here he changed his manner from
the simple to the impressive, and there
began to be sensibilities stirred up in
every one around the Senate as he
continued: sNot the State of Georgia
should have thought it necessary to at
tack me upon this floor" said Hous-
ton, ''for when 1 was boy shed my
blood in Georgia for the people of that
State when the tomahawk and the
scalping-knife were raised against
them. At such a battle (which he
named] was left among the slain, as
it was supposed, and 1 always thought
that Georgia at least would have some
respect for my memory. But, gentle
men, this is not the first time that a
dead lion has been kicked in the face
by the heels of a cowardly ass. Gin

Hanging for Amusement.

Two remarkable examples are on
record of persons who allowed them
selves to be hung for the entertain
ment of an audience. An account of
one of them is given: The mans real
name was John Harnshaw, but he
performed throughout England un
der the high sounding of M. Gouffe.
He was an athlete, and among other
feats it was customary with him to
exhibit the process of hanging. In
this performance he relied for security
on the strength of the muscles of the
throat and neck alone. He had q
rope with a fixed knot that would
not slip, and passed both ends of the
loop up behind one ear.
The whole act was so adroitly man.
aged that he prevented any pressure
OF the rope upon the windpipe or the
jugular vein, and could even sustain
the weight of $50 pounds in addition
to that of his own body. On three
separate occasions Harnshaw mis-
managed the rope and became un-
conscious, but was, luckily, rescued
each time. DR.. Chowne, who writes
the account, says truly: 1t cannot
be doubted, that as far as sensation
and consciousness are concerned
Harnshaw passed through the whole
ordeal of dying. and had he been per-
mitted to remain hanging until act
ually dead he would have passed out
of existence without further know
ledge of his misery. Harnshaw said,
not with particular reference to either
of the accidents, but in speaking OF
his performances collectively, that
hecould recollect nothing which hap
pened to him after the rope frightened,
and that he lost his senses all at once.
The moment the rope got in the
wrong place he felt the change, and
could not breathe; felt as if he would
like to loosen himself, but never
thought of using his hands. He ex:
perienced the heaviness of legs and
arms mentioned by others who have
been half hung and then rescued, and
the rafting sound in his ears, but
never saw sparks of light, which are
the usual Observation-Disclosures
Times.
