"No, indeed, it's Madame Jigger's Bloom

''Of course there isn't, but I Just thought

Good for what" I inquired scornfully.
"Oh, I dom know. Mrs. Mugs says it

Mrs, Muggs says so, does she? l thought
ordinary paint and whitewash were good
enough for hsr. The bloom of her eternal

point is that l didn't have sense enough to

Jack Smith, and | noticed that he glanced
at my nose. 1t had seemed to me. in the
morning, that a peculiar tint had over
spread that part of my countenance, but I
had thought nothing of it until that mo-

sober life"
Sober, I don't think" said Jack, with
an unpleasant emphasis on the don't. Then

1t was, I think. two days after this occur

Homer V. Riggs, pastor of the little church
in the Puritanioal town where l was born,
announcing a visit to the metropolis. and
promising a call at my house.
."Maude," said I, goodbye. If the Rev.
Mr.. Rugs sees this nose my reputation in
my native town will be such that my rela-

wildly toward the door, 'The Home for

In the lower hall I met the Mev. Mr..
Ruggs.

the parlor ready for a good old-fashioned
chat, as Nj. Riggs expressed it. I had

should come out into the light where he
could have a good look at me.

And meanwhile in the spot to which MI.
RugRs had dragged me, the rays Of the de-
clining sun smote full upon that nose, and
the western sky in all its glory was not ar
rayed like unto it.
HAS Constitution been as quiet as usual
this winter?" said l, bursting into CONVEX
sation "a a relief to my misery.
Indeed 1t has been very much alive" he
replied. "We awe fought a great fight

SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Does Not Pre-.
vent Its Use.

No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, but
that fact does not seem to discourage
the suicide. The mar Harrowitz,
who deliberately swallowed a fatal
dose OF the drug in New York recent
ly, is one of the many who have gone
the ammonia route to death in spite
OF the excruciating pain. DR.. Blyth
has recorded thirty cases of ammonia
poisoning in the small London dis
trIot Of which he is health officer;
Professor Mitchell mentions twenty
two cases, and four have occurred
during the short time DR.. jenkins
has been connected with the Coro-
ner's Office in New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from am
monia are of constunt occurrence
among men who work in it's manufac-
ture, or even in decomposing sub
stances which give IL off III consider.
able quantities. Ammonia, slowly
and from day to day taken into the
system, causes the complexion to
loose its freshness, and the skin of
men who get heavily impregnated
with il has disagreeable blotched
and discolored appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day
to day in oven the small quantities
used to adulterate food, such as bak-
ing powder, it not only Injuries the
complexion but attacks the lining OF
the stomach, and is the source Of
much general i'll health.
The recent rapid increase in the
use OF ammonia for various purposes,
and the consequent increase in its
manufacture, have made it one of the
most easily obtained poisons, and, al
though everybody is familiar with it
10 some form, there is surprising
amount OF ignorance of it's dangerous
qualities. Its use as an adulterant
in any food preparation is simply r
crime, and as u crime should be pun
ished.

Stock Strayings.

Last night COW belonging to a range iu the Dragons, seventy miles away, was found and will be returned. Stock sometimes show decided proclivities for wandering. A year ago from this same Oragoon range a steer was found in the Gila valley, 130 miles in an air line from home. Of course in going this distance many times its actual amount was made TO 3ming here and there. A horse some time ago found on the San Pedro had wandered 200 miles from it's ranch in New Mexico, but probably made much less distance than the steer in going l30 miles, as horses as rule follow roads.
 The steer found by Inspector Kelly. rranded box with inside, is again in luired for, this time from New Mexico. The rancher ha d read description of the animal from the CITIZEN, and minute ly describes h,s own brand, box and O, but with the outside. The steer is still unidentified.
