One Way of Revenge.

There is a gentleman in the Australian
house of representatives renowned for
incisive sarcasm who takes out his note
book and quietly but obviously sketches
a political opponent whom his observa-
lions have infuriated; and these angry
faces, readily recognized, somehow find
their way into the illustrated periodicals
sooner or later-a method which, if it
does not turn away wrath, at least
serves frequently to repress it's outward
and visible manifestations. the Year

Sickness and Superstition.

For the cure of epilepsy, or the falling
sickness, numerous are the charms that
have been invented. A very common
remedy among the poor people about
London, and particularly in Essex, was
to cut the tip of black cats tail in Or
der to procure three drops of blood,
which are to be taken irs a spoonful of
milk and repeated three days success
lively. Il the patient was informed of
the composition it lost its efficacy. The
patients also were to creep head fore
most down some three pairs of stairs
three times day for three successive
days.-London Tit-Bits.

Metals the Pyramid Builders Lacked

Apparently we are ignorant, and like
ly to remain so, of the mechanical power
which erected the pyramids. Neither
do we know by what process the granite
was cut and polished. With us, having
steel and steam, this is easily done. In
many OF the American cemeteries are to
be seen shafts, pillars, pedestals and
plinths Of red granite, which is extreme
ly hard, but can be cut into any shape
and polished to the smoothness of a look
ing glass by simple machinery. Now,
though the ancients sometimes used
iron, and got the metal out of the ore by
great and long continued heat, they did
not know that by adding carbon to it
they could convert it into steel, which is
hard enough to cut all other metals. Be-
sides iron the ancients were acquainted
with copper, gold, silver, lead, quick
silver and tin-that is, with seven met tails,
whereas we have over fifty.-Thomas j.
Bowditch in Troy Times.

Interesting Paper Read Before the Cali
fornia Historical Society.
r. A. Thompson read paper before
the California Historical society upon
"The Overland Journeys of Jedediah
Smith in 1925 and 1927" Can't. Smith
and his band of hardy trappers were the
first white men known to enter California
by the overland route. He, with Jack
son and Sublette, constituted the Rocky
Mountain Fur company in 1926, and thew
determined to project their operations
westward from the Rocky mountains to
the Pacific coast, and contest with the
hudson Bay company for the wealth of
turs and skins supposed to be obtainable
along the western coast. While the other
two partners turned northwestward from
Salt Lake and journeyed toward Oregon.
Smith left the rendezvous at Salt Lake
IN August, 1926, with fifteen men and
started for southern California.
Following up the Sewer river, and
across the divide to the head of the vir-
gin, he went down the latter to the Colo
RADIO, and was piloted across the Moiave
desert to San Gabriel mission, where he
arrived IN December, 1926. The Mexi-
can governor of California, then at San
Diego, summoned Smith to his presence.
and learning of his intention to go up
the coast to the Columbia river, forbade
the journey, and ordered Smith and his
party to return to United States terri.
tory by the route he had entered the
Mexican province. But the hardy Amer
lean did not propose to abandon his pur-
pose SO readily, and in January, 1897, he
quietly set forth on his journey north

proceeded as far as what is supposed to
be the Sacramento or American river.
where he encountered hostile Indians.
Turning back to where he had encoun-
tered more friendly tribe, he made a
permanent camp, and with two men
started back. for the company's rendez-
vous at Salt Lake for re-enforcements.
Crossing the Sierras by Walkers Pass,
the trip to Salt Lake was made in TWEEN
ty-eight days.
With eighteen men and two women.
wives of members of his party, hestarted
on his return to his camp by the route
originally traversed, but in August he
was attacked on the Colorado by Indians.
and ten of his men and two women were
killed. After much suffering and re-
newed difficulties with the Mexican au-
thorities in southern California the sur
vivors reached the camp in the San
joaquin valley. Six months were spent
in trapping along the upper Sacramento,
and after securing $40, 900 worth of skins
the party started for the Columbia river,
but all except Smith and three others
were killed by the Indians
He reached Vancouver destitute. but
was well received by the Hudson Bay
company's manager there A portion of
his possessions was rescued from the
Indians by aid of the Hudson Bay COM
panys men, and Smith finally reached
his partners, and in 1880 returned to st.
Louis. In 1881 he started with wagon
train for Santa Fe, but was killed by the
Comanches at the crossing of the Cimar-
ron river.-San Francisco Bulletin.

Doctors do not like to talk to news
paper men, for good reasons. Doctors
are custodians of the best stories in
existence, and when newspaper man
can worm one of these stories from such
source it is too good to keep. But of
course the physician must be kept in the
dark. Even then the physician does not
hike to talk, because he is, afraid his
name might come out. One of these
specialists was talking in his reception
room the other day and he made this
statement:
"There is nothing new in the PROPOSE
ton that we are all mad. That's a story
as old as the hills and is true. We call
the insanity that is at large latent in
sanity. If it doesn't come in contact
with shock or some disease it may re-
main latent until death stops the ma
chinery. / know men in business who
are liable to go to pieces mentally if
the unexpected happens. once knew
man who was cashier in bank, and l
had it from those who knew of his work
that no more competent and accurate
man ever held place.
but had been his physician and his
fathers before him, and knew that the
man was mad. His insanity was only
asleep. So well did l know him that
warned him to keep himself free from
such excitement as would result from a
certain disease. AS I had feared, that
disease finally made its appearance in
the country, and the man blew out his
brains as soon as he heard of it, al
though the case was 1900 miles away"

Dried Mushrooms in Soups.

The indiscriminate use of dried mush-
rooms in soups and stews on the continent
has led to unfortunate results in many
cases, especially, it would seem, in Der,
lin, where the police are stated to have
issued a caution against their consump-
ton. The assertion that poisonous fungi
are sometimes dried with edible mush-
rooms is sufficiently probable to cause

From this time forth, as the Revolution
increased in fury. the voice of Camille was
constantly heard, like u bugle note in bat
tie. Soon after the destruction Of the
Bastile he began the publication of his
weekly paper called Revolutions de France.
The genius OF the editor flashed like fire
through the smoke and tumu1t of 1901,
In no other publication of these stormy
times may the course and tendencies OF
democratic opinion be better traced than
in The Revolutions. At this period Of his
career Desmoulins, in the first flush Of
triumph and fame. did not display those
nmiable and humane qualities Of mind for
which he was noted during the last two
years OF his life. He was savage, and his
ficklcness was almost as conspicuous as his
genius. His changeable temper, however.
may well be accounted for by the wild
tides of public opinion on which he aoated
like a nautilus
After the September massacre Camille
was elected to the national convention,
where he associated himself with Danton,
to whom he remained faithful ever after
ward, and he to him. The taciturn Dantou
was never satisfied with drinking from tho
fountains of Camille's genius and vivncity.
When the former was chosen minister of
justice, Camille was made his secretary
general. In the convention he was always
found among the benches Of the Mountain,
moving about and shooting his barbed wit
tlcisms at the enemy. None more than he
desired the destruction Of the monarchy.
On the question Of the kings death he
voted "Oui."
