ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.

Remarkable Contrast in the Effect of Two
Posons on the Complexion.
The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about az
quickly as any. The popular belief that
arsenic clears the complexion has led
many silly women to kill themselves
with it in small, continued doses
1t produces waxy, ivory-like appear
ance of the skin during a certain stage
of the poisoning, but its terrible after
effects have become too well known to
make it of common use as cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the COM
plexion are directly the opposite to that
of arsenic. The first symptom of am
monia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is
discoioration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
over the face until the complexion has
o stained, blotched, and unsightly an.
pearance. With people who take am
monia into their system in smaller
doses, as with their water or food, these
striking symptoms do not appear 80
soon. The only effect of the poison
that is visible for time is a general un-
wholesomeness and sallowness of the
complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use of ammonia in the manufac.
lures has greatly increased of late, and
it is unquestionably used as an adulter-
ant In certain food preparations. Off,
cial analysis have plainly shown it's use
even in such cheap articles of every day
consumption as baking powders. The
continued absorption of ammonia in
even minute quantities as an adultsrant
in food is injurious not merely from its
effects upon the complexion, but because
it destroys the coating of the stomach
and causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long. of Chicago, is au-
thority for the statement that, II to fifty
million parts of water there is one part
of ammonia, the water is dangerous.

The story Is told Of the late Pig Iron
Kelley that on one occasion q young
woman, the daughter Of an old Pennsyl-
vaniap, who had been one OF KeLey's
political leutenants, applied TO him for
a position, which ne promised TO secure
for her the next day. On the following
morning, when the young woman called
on the judge, ne had forgotten all about
her case, but upon being reminded, apol-
ogized profUsely and told her TO call
tomorrow. The judge kept this up for
nearly a month, when the young woman
lost her patience. On the occasion Of
her last visit the judge, who was very
absentmInded, did not catch her name
as the servant announced her presence
IN the parlor and. walking hurriedIy into
the room, shook hands with her and be
gan the old formula
MY dear young lady, am very busy
today; you viii really have 70 call To-
morrow But, judge, she protested,
THAT is what you have told me for a
month l have come almost every day,
and you have invariably told me 70 call
tomorrow. Il beg vour pardon, am
sure, said the judge with great suavity.

Seeking Wealth Away from Home.

The natives of Japan are taking advan-
tage of the removal OF the restrictions on
travel to foreign lands. Since the Mikado
permitted his subjects TO emigrate, g recent
writer says that nesrly 10000 of them
have left their native land. There are
about 10000 in Hawaii There is large
number in Australia. They are to be
found in various countries of the Asiatic
continent, and some are in Europe. There
are about 1900 in California, and others
are constantly arriving there TO work in
the vineyards. In the city OF New York
there may be 200 japanese, and there are
few in many other American cities. Wher-
ever they go they have the reputation OF
being industrious and inofTensi7e. The
population of Japan is 40, O000O0.

In the var for the Union he fought three

In 1874 he married a Miss Grange. The

4 Mans Sport with q Marine Monster.
The Entire HarnIessnsss of a Huge
! Bssking Shark Amply Demonstrated.
| The Visitors No Longer Afraid.
| That a man should take g ride on a
live sharks back, apparently with all
/ the delight OF wild cowboy breaking in
an unruly mustang, would be difficult
to believe unless circumstances were
presented TO verify it. Such an occur
renee has really taken place, however,
and at so short a distance from San
Francisco that any doubling Thomas
can easily satisfy himself by making q
personal investigation.
For the past few years the fishermen
in the northern part of Monterey bay,
near Santa Cruz, have been greatly
annoyed by basking sharks These
sharks, while in search OF food, often
run into the nets Of fishermen, and
in thrashing about and trying to
escape from the meshes which enfOld
them, tear the nets and injurs them so
that the fishermen at times suffer the
loss Of hundreds Of dollars. Sometimes
shark struggles about so much in the
water as 70 wrap the nets around it in
such a manner that escape is impossible
and the huge fish dies from the exhaus-
ton produced by its wild efforts TO get
free. To extricate the dead fish from
the nets it is sometimes necessary TO tow
1t ashore, and 70 recover part Of the loss
sustained IN the destruction Of the nets
the fishermen try out the liver Of the
shark and obtain quantity Of cheap
but profitable oil
AN OCULAR DEMONSTRATION.
A hugo baskirg shark about thirty or
forty feet long became eutaugIed in the
nets OF some fishermen OF Sequel point,
about four miles from Santa Cruz. The
shark, still alive and EMBODIED in the
nets, was towed by the fishermen Ia

coins remarks about him were the one ex
ception. When the Unionists of Maryland
asked that General Robert ScheGck be sus-
tanned and Colonel Piatt, as he then was,
be given command in their state, Lincoln
replied:
'Schenck and Piatt are good fellows, and
If there were any rotten apples in the bar
rel they'd be pretty sure to hook 'em out.
But they run their machine on too high a
level for me. They never could understand
that was boss"
1t was not easy for Dom Piatt to under
stand that anybody was boss over him, and
this seemed family trait. Descended on
one side from Huguenots, in whom resist
ance TO arbitrary power had become or
ganic, and on the other from heroes of the
American Revolution, the family had gem
eraticn or two of frontier training and
then an era of rude freedom in Kentucky,
and all the hereditary traits thus acquired
seemed to come out in Dom and his broth
er, Jacob W. The latter made such a fierce
fight against the volunteer fire department
in Cincinnati that he was mobbed anC
burned in effigy before his own door.
Dom was born in that city, and through
out his life-as a diplomat in Paris, sol
der in the Union army, a cores pondent
and journalist in Washington or else
where-he remained very much an Ohio
man. His first wife, Louise Kirby, was
also an author; she died young and he
married her sister. He was for twenty
years the stormy petrol" of American
literature and politics, yet was so well

An Enjoyable Way to Take Tea.


There are people who get more out of
life than others by sort of philosophy
Of contrast or change. The listener,
being invited to tea not long since, found
the table set under the apple trees just a
few steps from the kitchen door. There
were several children seated about the
table, expressing by their demure manner
that it was not novel thing at all ooh,
nor said the hostess; ''we've hardly eaten
dinner or supper in the house for three
weeks. If it's possible thing we set the
table out here or on the piazza at least.
There is only one disadvantage, it makes
it harder on tie girls, but we all take
hold and help, so that they are as pleased
as we are"
1t was delightful to sit under the trees
that fecked the table cloth with moving
shadows and seemed to add new flavor to
the simple food. The house stood back
from the street of course, and yet if it
had been near the street there might
have been a great gain for the passerby.
IL would have given a touch Of socia bill
ity TO the street, like that so character
istic Of the French, who eat in public so
gracefully.
1t formed a sort Of daily picnic, with
out the toll and bugs and depressing
after effects of that great American in
stituticn. It added charm and relish 10
the meal, and made the summer mora
distinctly time for vacations and out
Of door impressions. It seemed a Gus
tom that could be pro6tably followed by
many suburban jewellers and at would
be distinct frightening Of the play
time of midsummer Boston Transcript.

The French National Printing Work.

The French National Printing Works.
The French national printing works
date from the year 1910, and owe their
origin to Louis XIII, who established
them under the title Imprimerie royaIe.
The works were suppressed at the begin
ming Of the revolution and reorganized
in the Year Il. The state printing Office
has had many homes. 1t is now in the
former abode Of the princely house Of
Rohan, in the Rue VieiIle du Temple,
which still retains traces Of its former
splendor.
Besides executing all the printing OF
the ministries and other public bodies,
the presses Of the Imprimerie rationale
are at the service Of all private lndivid
uals who require in their works types
impossible 70 procure elsewhere. The
collection at the Hotel de Rohan Is
unique and contains 200 varieties. It
would almost satisfy the archdeacon Of
the story whose sermons could not be
printed because the printer had only one

expect the building to cost $4,000. The
locality is such busy one that the rents
of the Offices will rapidly pay out any debt
that may be incurred, and the Army has
