Tea VIII Detect Poisons.

"Tea," says a woman who knows, "ciear
tea, without sugar or cream, is one of the
best of agents for the detection of suspected
poison. remember stopping once, in my
travels, at little country inn, whose buxom
landlady offered me some beautiful looking
waffies, beside which she sat down small
pitcher of sirup. There was talk at that
time-it was several years ago-about the
adulteration of some sirups, and this par
ticular pitcherful had a peculiar color
which did not like. So asked her that
cup of tea be brought to me first, and
when it came took a teaspoonful of the
sirup and put it in.
INSTANTLY the tea turned perfectly black,
showing the presence of mineral poison.
don't know that there would have been
enough to have done me serious harm, but
as don't care to take poison, even homeo
pathically, when know it, ate my waf
das that day with butter and sugar More
than that, called the landlady's attention
to the circumstance, which resulted in ban
ishing all of that sirup she had in the
house. ."-Her Point of View in New York

by persuading some capitalist to At up
big steamer for a hotel. There's money
in 1t.
"Get a big steamer, or, better still, build
one with plenty of roomy staterooms, well
ventilated, with ample dining, smoking
and lounging saloons, and two or three
decks for promenade and chairs. Charge
the customary summer hotel rates, and let
the steamer have pier near the Battery
"Let her start from that pier every eve
ming at the close OF business and steam
slowly out of the bay while her guests are
at dinner. Then let her touch her pier
again in time for those who want to spend
the evening on shore After these people
are landed on the pier let the steamer put
out from the shore and steam slowly about
in the cool evening air, while her passen-

staterooms and on her decks just as people
do in hotels Just little before midnight
let the steamer steam up to her pier and
take on board those people who have been
at the theaters, ETC., and then drop away
down the bay again for the night.
"What refreshing and invigorating sleep
a man could get In that salty air. Quiet
and order could be preserved on board just
as well as in hotel, and in the morning
passengers could be landed fresh for bust
ness, while those who had no business In
the city could spend the whole day on board
If they liked.
"There need he little unpleasant bump
ing and noise of machinery, as only enough
steam would need to be kept up to insure
steerage way. No one would look for
speed. The expenses would be as small
as any other city hotels. and am certain
that people would just tumble over each
other to get quarters on the ship. On those
rare occasions when the water was too
rough or the wind too boisterous the ship
need not leave her pier at all, as the atmos-
phere would be cool enough then down by
the Battery to render the night agreeable.
"Think of the thousands of New Yorkers
who must stay in the reeking hot city all
summer. How they would jump at such a
boarding housed tell you there's money in
it for the first capitalist that takes it up"

The French Colony of Algeria.

While number of the leading European
governments have recently adopted the so
called colonial policy as a means both Of
increasing their national trade and of pro-
viding an outlet for their people, expert
ences which have recently been brought to
light in France would indicate that
colonial policy may be an exceedingly ex.
pensive luxury for nation to adopt.
In a recent debate in the chamber Of
deputies on the government of the colony
of Algiera the calculation was made from
official reports that in the last forty years
that colony had cost France, over and
above the income received therefrom, quite
$500, ,000, 600, and what is more, the annual
costs at the present time are even larger
than in previous years.
1t might be said that these large outgoes
were no more than France was justified in
sending for the purpose of providing de-
sirable outlet for her'people; but, although
Algeria is remarkably fertile country and
offers many opportunities, it docs not
seem to attract the French colonists. The
total population Of French origin is only
260, 600, while there are an equal number Of
white people not Of French nationality.
These latter have, by the local laws, ex-
emption from taxation granted them that
the French colonist Is not accorded, and,
what is more, the rate of taxation upon
the 100000 or more natives is several
times greater than upon the French col
onist or foreign resident.
The French will not settle in Algeria as
colonists, although large numbers visit the
country each year as tourists, which would
seem to prove that unless u nation has an
aptitude for colonization-aRd this was no
doubt what the French possessed six or
eight generations ago when they settled
Canada-it is useless for it to spend money
and exhaust an effort in acquiring and at
tempting to develop the waste places on
earth.--Boston Herald.

Little Danger from Water Poisonir

In Glasgow the practice Of supplying
houses from cisterns is comparatively rare,
and should be entirely abolished when the
additional aqueduct, now in course of con-
struction between Loch Katrine and the
city, is completed. Taking all things into
consideration, it seems clear that the dan
ger from lead contamination, if it exists at
all, is not such as to cause public alarm.
The appearance of an occasional doubtful
case of poisoning is very different from the
extensive epidemics, clearly traceable to
the water supply, which have at various
times occurred at Sheffield, Bradford and
other towns.-London Engineering
