Enects of AfrIcan Arron polson

1t has been conjectured that the fatal

fear and other influences enter into the
results Of its exhibition series Of ex-
periments in inocnlating the lower ami
mails has been proposed. One Of the
poisons with which the arrows of the
Africans are smearedis d dark substance
like pitch. 1t is strong enough to kill
elephants, and is considered so danger
Gus that its preparation is not allowed il
the villages, but Is carried on in the
bush, where also the arrows are smeared.
The yirulence Of the poison is remark
able; faintness, palpitation of the heart,
nausea, palIor and the breaking out of
beads Of perspiration all over the body
follow with extraordinary proInptness,
and death ensues
One Of Stanley's men is sail to have
died within one minute from 4 mere pin
hole puncture in the right arm and right
breast; another man died within an hour
and quarter after being shot; and a
woman died during the time she was
carried distance Of hundred PAGES.
The activity Of the poison seems to de-
pend on its freshness. The treatment
adopted was to administer an emetic, to
suck the wound, syringe it, and inject a
strong solution Of carbonate Of ammonia
The carbonate Of ammonia injection
seems to have been wonderful antidote

The CARE or SHOES.

Never try TO wear a shoe too small or

Never put II good pair of shoes in ga
loches; use an old pair for this and with
draw the galoches as soon as you enter the
house.
Never try on or handle patent leather
shoe when cold; always thoroughly warm
it before bending the leather A patent
leather shoe put on in warm room can be
worn out into the cold weather without
injury.
Never let your shoe get hard or dry. Do
not let it run down at the heel or the side
Never wear into the welt or insole A
shoe repaired in time will retain its shape
and afford comfort. and will be found true
economy.
Never put wet shoes by the fire to dry,
but dry them gradually and slowly. Never
dry a wet shoe without first applying some
oil or grease; castor oil or tallow is the
best The steam generated in a wet shoe
or boot will seald it and . iuse it to crack.

LEGENDARY WORLDS.
Expeditions Set Out from the Canary ISL
ands to Discover Them.

Expeditions Set Out from the Canary ISL
ands to Discover Them.
Stories-of legendary worlds have at all
times possessed fascination for most
minds and formed the subject of much
curious speculation. However childish
such tales may seem at the present day,
fithey once welded sufficient sway"
says NJ. Flamarian in his History Of the
Heavens. +" ..over mems minds as to gain
their belief in the veritable existence Of
the places described, and in this way to
influence their astronomical and cosmo-
graphical ideas"
Many such legends originated when
geography was III its infancy and the
greater part of the worlds surface still
unknown. From that time, too, travel
ers like Sir John Vaudeville excited
curiosity by relating discoveries which
they professed to have made in their dis
tant journeying, and which those who
received them readily accepted as facts.
In process of time these mythical ac-
counts We're gradually circulated from
one country to another and became in
terwoven with the traditions of the
people among whom they were told.
Hence in one form or another, we find
in most parts Of the world numerous
stories of legendary worlds still current,
survivals of which may be traced to the
literature Of modern times. Thus, go
ing back to early days. the poets and
philosophers of Greece and Rome gave
detailed accounts Of the land whittier
mortals wend their way when this life
is over, enumerating its rivers. its lakes,
its woods and mountains.
Accordingly, Ulysses was said to
reach the place of the dead by crossing
the ocean to the Cimmerian land,
-Eneas to have entered it by the Lake
Ayernus, whereas Xenophon informs us
that Hercules went there by the penin-
sula of Arechusaide. In early times the
Canary Islands were regarded as the
neighborhood Of the terrestrial home Of
the blessed dead, and many wonderful
stories were told of this enchanted To-
cality.
Thus, as Washington Irving writes:
Occasionally this enigmatical spot
would be visible from their shores,
stretching far away in the clear bright
west, to all appearance substantial like
themselves and still more beautiful.
Expeditions would launch forth from
the Canaries to explore this land of prom
Use. For long time its sun gilt peaks
and shadowy promontories would re=-
main distinctly visible, but in proper
ton as the voyagers approached peak
aud promontory would gradually fade
away until nothing would remain but
blue sky above and deep blue water be-
low"
This legendary land was, Us the Portu-
guese and Spanish declared, an island
which had sometimes been lighted upon
by accident, but when sought for could
not be found. But king Of Portugal is
said TO have made a conditional sur
render Of it to another when it should be
discovered, and when the kingdom of
Portugal ceded to the Castilian crown
its rights over the Canaries the treaty
included the island of Brandam, de-
scribed as the island which had not yet
been found. London Standard.

have made the name OF Madeline Lee
maire very well known in this country.
The artists full name is Nine. Jeanne
Madeline Le1naire. Before marriage
she was Madeline Coll, born in the south
of France, at ST. Rossoline, near Cannes.
Her aunt, Mime. Herbelin, an eminent
painter of miniatures, brought her up,
and SO Madeline from her earliest years
lived in an art atmosphere. An artist
born, it may be she was fortunate in be-
ing so early associated with artists. But
under any circumstances her powerful
artistic instinct could only have been de-
layed, not suppressed.
At very tender age Madeline began
to draw, and those having her in charge
were most careful not to neglect these
signs of unusual talent At the age Of
nine she was sent to drawing school,
and later to the studio of NJ Chaplin,
where she remained four years.
In 1865 she was fifteen years of age,
and she exhibited her first picture at the
Salon--a portrait in oil of her grand
father. The judges fully recognized the
talent displayed by this picture, but the
extreme youth Of the artist prevented
them from giving her prize. After
this she became almost regular exhib-
itor at the Salon, for the first years send
ing works in oils, most of them portraits,
but some Of creations Of her own fancy
which foreshadowed the artists future
fame. All Of therh showed sense OF
beauty of form and color that fairly took
the public by surprise.
In all the works by this artist lively
imagination is made visible that de-
lights while it never transgresses. Nine.

Henry Stewart gives suggestions iu
The American Agriculturist about how
to prepare for the more profitable winter

well ahead. Mr.. Stewart says:

when ice is one cent per pound ten

will produce more than 500 TIMES as
much heat as the ice produces cold, 50 to

water requiring 990units Of heat, so that
one pound Of coal viii produce an equiv
alent Of heat equal to 990x9l, against 142
Of cold produced by the melting Of ice.
The very great economy Of heat used in
the winter as compared with the use Of
ice for cooling in the summer is thus
remarkably apparent.
What are wanted for the pursuito win
ter dairying are the fresh cows To calTe
