THERr is something pathetic in the an
nouncement which Dom Pedro has made
that the distractions Of his former empire
have filled him with grief and that if the
people of Brazil should think that his return
10 Rio Janeiro would have the effect Of re-
storing order and respect for law. he would
sacrifice ease and comfort in his old age and
resume once more either permanently or for a
time. the reins Of power in his fatherland.
The offer of the patriotic and benevolent ex-
lied monarch is not likely to be accepted. but
who doubts but that his restoration would be
far more conducive to the stability and
prosperity Of Brazil than the prolongation
IF republican government, which is only
a device for the exercise Of arbitrary power
by some dictator who is bent upon his own
enrichment at the expense Of the people at
large? Dom Pedro WAS eminently the father
Of his people. and his figure is invested with
great nobility when we contrast his charac-
ter with that of Fonseca. who is seeking his
own personal ends regardless Of the welfare
of lis country.

A Hidden Danper.

That death turks in SO innocent look
ing and palatable thing as cream
almonds would scarcely be believed,
but their eating by child recently al
most caused her death. Dr. Heber
Smith, residing at the corner of Penn
svlvania avenue extended and Retreat
street, in Clifton, came very near los
itg his little daughter, Lola, aged 4
years, bright and interesting child,
who had eaten two of these cream
almonds
He purchased some of the candy for
her, and shortly before tea she was
taken violently ill. Her lips swelled
out to three times their natural size.
her eyelids were bloated, her feet and
knees swollen and paralyzed, her pulse
weak and quick, and her respiration
difficult. The little girl was on the
very verge of death Her distressed
parents tried in many ways to arouse
her from her stupor, but all to
no purpose Artificial respiration
had to be resorted to. DR. Smith adj
ministered an antidote composed of
aromatic spirits of ammonia and sail
cylate of soda He worked untiringly
for several hours before his little
daughter showed signs of recovery.
Several days before this Lola ate
one of the cream almonds while play
ing with one of her little friends. She
then showed vmptoms almost similar
but of very mild character. DIR.
Smith, while laboring to save his
daughter, detected on her breath the
scent of hydrocyanic acid, or prussic
acid. He made partial chemical an
alysis of a number of the cream
almonds, which led him to the convic
ton that they contained hydrocyanic
or prussic acid deadly poison.
The kernel in the candy, he said, was
not that of the almond, but a peach
kernel, and the deadly poison came by
chemical process. from the enveloping
of the kernel by the sugar, or candy
coating. A man. he said. might eat a
dozen of them without danger to him
self, but two or three, containing as
much acid as those consumed by his
daughter, would be sufficient to kill a
child of tender years. His daughter
has completely recovered. DIR. Smith
will make a thorough analysis of the
candy shortly .-Battimore -lmerican

MEXICAN MESCAL.
An Aboriginal Triple, but 1t Gets There
All the Same.

An Aboriginal Triple, but It Gets There
All the Same.
The humble but inspiring mescal is
derived from such imposing scientific
terms as the aguave Americana, ma
guey and American aloe. says the PhG-
nix tAri.) Herald. In his report to
Agricultural Secretary Rusk, Special
Agent Poston. of this city, says the
plant is species of the numerous
family of cacti indigenous to Arizona,
Southern California, Texas, New Mexico
and Mexico. The Aztecs, when found
by the Spaniards, used the plant for
cordage, mating, brooms, brushes,
shoes. bedding, and various domestic
purposes. They roasted the pulp for
food and fermented the juice into
"pulque." The latter has been I'M
proved by modern civilization into the
strong but not repulsive drink called
mescal The maguey plant natures in
seven years; cabbage headed in shape,
with prickly guards 1t weighs from
twenty-five to fifty pounds. The vari-
Gus layers, as roasted by the natives,
are nutritive and purgative. The pulp
is fermented in a rawhide vat. The
City of Mexico drinks 100000 rints of
pulque daily, or pint per capita,
which rate prevails generally through
out Mexico, pulque being the national
beverage, like wine in France, beer in
Germany, or "budge" in Iankeeland.
Mescal flowers make excellent honey.
Deer and antelope seek them eagerly.
The stalk of the plant grows twelve to
twenty feet high, and is used in Next
can domestic architecture. Mescal
distilleries are very simple and more
secret than any moonshiner's still.
Maguey has been immemorially cult
waited in old Mexico, but it is not
raised north of the line. In Arizona
for twenty-five years PAST mescal has
averaged 81 per gallon new, with 81
added for each year of maturity. A
higher grade article is called tequilla,
which is worth over so per gallon.

THE APIARY.
Skunks as Bee-EaterS.

Skunks not only make raids upon the
poultry, but they fad it very profitable
to attack the bees stores of honey. says
Imcrjc6n CuitirdtOr. They are unable
to get into the hives not having the
gnawng powers of some Of the other ro-
dents, but they succeed very well in kill
ing he bees. Their mode of procedure is
to scratch on the outside of the hive until
the attention OF the bees is attracted,
and they come outside to ascertain the
cause. Then they catch the bees as
they emerge from the narrow doorway
and proceed to eat them. They prefer
those bees with honey in their SacS and
the dead drOncs in front Of the hives are
not touched. The skunkS would be a
greater nuisance if they could get i'll at
the honey, for they would then be in
their glory However, one or two of
these creatures can rapidly depopuate a
hive by the method mentioned. Traps
are about the only thing that will stop
this, and as SkunkS are not at all pleas
ant things to handle, unless dead, this
method Of catching them is not always
satisfactory. Steel traps only wound
them and do not kill unless it catches
them in some vital part.

ABOUT THE HORSE.
Stable Ventilation.

Nothing in the ordinary surroundings
of a horse can be so injurious as the alb
Sence of good ventilation. Any number
of horses are kept in places whore no
ventilators exist, and in many places
whore vcntilators were put in by Il we'll
meaning hand. one finds them stuffed up
with straw and hay. Now, when it is
remembered, says a practical writer,
that horse brcatheS much stronger than
a man. that tie civilizations from his
skin and elsewhere are greater than
from any human being it only stands to
reason that ill-v"ntiiated stables cannot
possibly be prcSeryative of a horse
health any more than a foul-Smclling
room would be of a human beings
health. II a stable owner wants 10
know the atmosphere that his horses
breath, let him be the first man in the
stable of morning. when, unless his
power Of scent i all but gone, he will
often have occasion 10 be Mortified at the
air his animals have To breathe. Free
ventilation may have a tendency 10 cause
colts 10 stare but that Is not half as bad
a to undermine d horses health by max
ing him breathe foul air Good light i
likewise of great Importance in the
stable. Vegetation will die in the half
darkeUed room; il wants the suns rays
to keep up lis vitality: the trees in the
forest grow straight so as to obtain their
share Of the light. and their lower
branches die off because the light does
not penetrate to them Is il reasonable
10 suppose that animal life can be de-
privcd Of the vitaliZinC influences Of
light with IMMUNITY?

How to Keep + gcs.

The egg begins to grow stale almost
a. soon as it is laid, and the cause of
many failures to preserve eggs perfectly
fresh, says the Farmers Monthly, is found
in the fact that decay set in before the
preserving began. and of course it con-
tinucd in spit" OF efforts to arrest it. In
preserving eggs. therefore, take none
but those fresh from the nest. This is
the first rule 10 observe. The next is,
no matter what process you use, keep
the preserved eggs in the coolest dry
place possible: dampness will mould
them. heat will rapidly evaporatc their
natural moisture. and any process which
will keep them absolutely air tight will
keep them fresh for an indefinite length
OF time. Among the countless methods
recommended i this one:
Take FIVE quarts Of rock salt. five
pounds Of unsIacked lime and quarter
IS pound Of cream OF tartar: dissolve
in four pals nj water. which makes SUI
ticient pickle for barrel of eggs. Eggs
are always 10 be kept under pickle.
