The medical dose of arsenious acid is
about one. twentieth of II grain given in
pill form after meals This dose is in
creased under the directions of physi-
clans, but it is thing with which the
laity should not tamper. The lethal or
deadly dose is generally placed at about
one and one-half grains for an adult. 1t
has been placed at about one and one
half to two and one-third grains. The
effects of arsenical solutions, such as
Fowler's, are more rapid and severe than
those of the solid drug.
Fowlers solution is a, preparation
much used. Women take it because it
gives plump appearance and beauties
the complexion. 1t is given in medicine
as an alternative and is much used in
skin diseases Fowler's solution con-
tains four grains of arsenious acid to the
ounce. 1t is nearly colorless, with a
faint taste of the compound spirit Of
lavender which is in it. The average
dose in beginning is five drops in wine.

of solution contains about eight tea.
spoonfuls, and according to this the tea
spoonful contains about half grain of

And Still He Is Hungry.

The biggest eater in the United States
lives at Bridgeport, near Martins Ferry.
His name is Eb Lyle. He attended the
Foresters supper and social, and said he
could eat more than any man in the hall.
Harry Eberly accepted the challenge,
but soon threw up the sponge. Lyle
continued to eat for two hours and fifteen
minutes. He ate all the chicken, cake,
pickles and everything else that was on
the table, and drank coffee pot of cof-
fee and called for more.
Lyle says that he had eaten peck of
apples before he began and did not ex-
pect to eat anything when he entered the
hall He says he will eat against any
man living, and will wager that he can
eat more than any man in the world.
Usually he is not an uncommon eater,
but these spells come on him every few
months. He has been known to eat a
large ham just before retiring, five quarts
of oysters at night and so on. Lyle is, q
teamster and enjoys good health.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

A Girls Dressing Table.

A girls dressing table is the pride OF
her room. She may have pretty pct
ures, collection of photographs of her
best fellows far exceeding in number
that of her envious girl friends; she may
have gum board of real rosewood, i've
dozen sachet bags and nightgown case
of real Japanese silk; yet with all these
glories to outshine it, the dressing table
is the pride and the piece de resistance,
80 to speak, of the room. The sweetest
dressing table is all of glass and is pro-
vided with two shelves, an upper shelf
and lower shelf. These are of beveled
glass and are held in place by beautiful
gold legs. Another kind Of dressing
table, less expensive, has simply bevel-
ed glass cover on top, and is just plain
table elsewhere.
On top of the table go the silver mani
curing implements, the celluloid brush
and comb and the ivory backed glasses
and brushes. Besides this there must
be the dozens of little fancy boxes, pow
der and puffs and bottle of cologne and
perfumery. To make these bottles more
ornamental manufacturers have supplied
cut glass pitchers and odd shaped things
filed with perfumery of all colors. One
can thus, if she be dainty miss, and
particular as to the appointments of her
room, have her perfumery to match the
general color of the boudoir. New York

A. Queer Bird.

James Funk few days ago showed us
the skull of bird which he found in
the Santiago creek after the freshet. He
believed it was washed down from the
mountains The skull measured seven
inches from side to side, and fourteen
inches from its base to the end of the
beak. The cavity of the skull was large
enough to hold quart. The upper
mandible was formed like that of q
goose, but of course was much longer,
and had been provided with a row of
teeth on each side, but all Of these were
missing. The lower mandible was also
missing. The eye and ear cavities were
very large. Mr.. Funk took the skull to
Los Angeles to submit it to some of the
naturalists there to see if they could
classify the bird to which it belonged.
The specimen was in u good state of
preservation. Orange (Cal.) News.

RUSSELL B. HARRISON has been in
terviewed by a New York newspaper
representative in regard to Judge pub.
LEGATIONS and when the interview was
published without the elimination of
Col. Harrison's emphatic, though
rather ineloquent swear words, he &C
cused the reporter of publishing false
report, whereupon the newspaper man
informed him that he would be held
personally responsible if he questioned
the news gatherer's personal veracity.
To this Mr.. Harrison replied that such
course would be perfectly satisfac.
tory to him. Things are becoming
quite personal, and it looks as if per-
sonal encounter might ensue.

New York's Wholesale Homes.

It may be that in the fullness of time
the man who owns and runs his own
private house may be regarded as quite
as luxuriant and extravagant personals
he who now owns and uses private car
or private steamship. Certainlyin this
city the tendency is very marked toward
a modified and rational type of socialism
in dwellings. To that extent Bellamy is
justified by the practical common sense
of the age lam prompted to these spec
ulations by the fact that the announce
ment is made that another 81 900, 900 ho-
tel is Immediately to be erected on the
west side of the park.
The new hotelis to be 1868 feet high, or
fourteen stories. is to be full block
front, to contain 600 rooms, and to be
provided with every modern improve
ment and elegance This makes the
fourth, and | am not sure but the fifth,
100000 hotel that is now going up in
this city. Where the movement will
stop no one can tell, but there seems to be
no end to the erection of these monster
wholesale homes, and they seem to be
successful in the ratio of their magnifi-
cence and expense. York Cor:

sunday travel IN the Metropolis.
One Of the wonderful sights to be seen
in New York at rhis season Of the year Is
the throng OF variegated humanity that
flows into the city in the early evening
of Sunday This crowd is composed OF
the middle and lower classes chiefly, who
flock to the country north of Harlem, to
the ferries, to the railway stations, to the
boats on river and bay, during Sunday
forenoon to enjoy the only holiday they
have in the week. Men, women and
children of all ages and every nationality
are to be seen and numbered by tens and
hundreds of thousands. The elevated
trains from Harlem, between the hours
of 6 and 9 o'clock in the evening, swarm
with these flushed pleasure seekers.
And the fun and flowers! There is
nothing like it elsewhere upon top Of
earth. Nearly every other woman and
child comes in literally laden with flow
ers and grasses, and the usually stuffy
air of the cars is redolent with the de-
licious perfume of field and farm. They
tell the story of a delightful day spent
beyond the oppression of brick and NOR
tar and blazing stone. Separating here
and there along the route, the atoms of
these countless human swarms bear the
evidences of their days pleasure in their
Drowned faces and buoyant steps to their
homes. 1t is charming sight, and one
never to be forgotten by the beholder
1t testiies with irresistible eloquence
of the future grandeur of the American
metropolis, that has so much variety
within easy reach and at so small price
that the poorest laborer can enjoy it,

Tracks of a Big Bird.

More ancient bird tracks have been
found in a stone quarry about mile and
a half north of Holyoke. They are each
II inches in length, three claws to each
foot The tracks are feet 10 inches
apart. There are eleven tracks in con-
eecutive order, leading up hill. Each
track is imbedded in the stone ten inches.
They are very perfect; even the toe nails
are distinct. Several Easthampton men
have tried to buy them. The owner has
offered to get them out in good shape
and deliver them for $1,000. Other
tracks were found near by, but they are
Aot as perfect as these eleven.-Green-

Silk Raising in France.

During the first half of the present
century silk raising in France was quite
prosperous. In 1908 the production was
1000 kilogs. 1t then increased steadily
until 1s49, when it was about 100000
kilogs. In 1854 mulberry trees began to
be attacked by a ravaging disease, which
destroyed many plantations, and was
merely the first of many reverses which
have harassed and discouraged French
silk growers. Since then the production
has been subject to great fluctuations.
In 1876 the low water mark for the cent
ary was reached, with an output of but
$4,000 kilogs. During the last ten years
the annual production has been from
100000 to 100000 kilogs.-Cor. Dry

The Express, which on many SUD-
jects he's q web balanced aranium'
speaking Of the horrible ass.1rtnation
of w. @. Bowen, the south texas edi-
tor on board passenger rain at
T5iy station, says TIE .snniatlou OF
southwest Texas will suffer. In this
the editor of the Express is correct.
Not only will the southwest suffer. but
it ought to suffer, if its people sit down
and allow such crimes to be committed
in their midst without protest or the
punishment of the criminals. The
first statement Of the killing, made by
persons on the train and which is
probably the correct one, make it a
deliberate assassination. The subse-
ouent statements of the immedi-
ate friends of the murderer to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
If such is the case, the affair, if it goes
unpunished, which is no more than
likely, will certainly damage the repu-
Ca zion of the Southwest as law abid'
ing section, as intimated by the Ex-
press.
But our esteemed San Antonio con-
temporary makes another assertion
that won't stand. 1t is that the Alice,
Bowen tragedy might have happened
in any country on earth. 1t is safe to
say it would never have happened in
England. Germany or France. Why?
Because Editor Bowen's murderer, be-
lore attempting the crime, would have
sat down and reflected that there
we're ninety mine chances to one that
he would be hung. In Southern
Texas he knew very well the chances
for his conviction or punishment were
rs one to ninety-nine That is the
reason why Alice walked aboard a
passenger train and shot down Editor
Bowen, thus taking revenge for the
latter's too free criticism OF Alice In
his paper. In European countries the
law does jealousy protect human life.
The murderer almost invariably
stretches hemp. In Frio county des
Dorado may kill as many folks as he
pleases, provided he can get the right
kind of district attorney and jury tc
Try him, and he generally can.
But the people Of Texas have arrived
at a point in their history when thi
murder business must be put down
It has injured the state of Texas un
told millions. 1t has driven immigrs
tion away from us TO the Northwestern
states. 1t has kept out OF Texa
thousands of good people, with none
and capital, who don't want their son
and daughters to grow up under a
accursed atmosphere of murder an
crime, which, like the Upas tree
blights all within its shadow. If ALE
is guilty of the murder of Bowen tn
people of southern Texas ought to Sc
to it that he is hung, and that withou
any crocodile tears or weeping an
wailing in behalf of crime.
