Tcacliers of American.

Teachers of English are plentiful in
this day and generation, but teachers
of American are to be met with only at
rare intervals. In this city, however,
there are several of the latter who con-
inand good prices for their services, and
who find ready employment at all
times. Foreigners who have been
taught English in the schools Of their
native land find themselves completely
at sea on their arrival here, and Iuany
of them WHO can afford it'enlploy teach
ers to instruct them in learning the pc
culiar id;oms employed by the Ameri-
cans. The loc,llism especially they

The shocking testimony at tho state
house which went 70 show that we are
poisoning ourselves to death with our
wall paper, our paper boxes and
dozen other articles Of daily use which
contain arsenic, has been talked about
Il great deal lately, even at 5 O'Clock
teas, when people generally balance
their cups in the Cir and talk about
nothing ut all There is q broad Sug-
..cstion fer fiction writer's in this matter.
For instance, the teStimonyat the state
house showed that Il lady had been
dangerously poisoned by Il green paper
box that She kept on Il shelf in her
sleeping room. Now if one wants to
commit suicide quietly. what better
way than 10 have paper of undoubted-
~ arsenic colors pasted upon ones
wills, and leave some green paper
boxes lying carclessly about ones
rooms and wear clothes that arc dyed
with arSenic3
Or ii any lady wants TO murder an
other, for instance, let her send her a
present OF 4 handsome new bonnet in
Il green paper box which is heavily
charged with arsenic and so prepared
rs to transfer its deadly elements to the
atmosphere of the room at once. Of
course the recipient OF the bonnet
would keep the box around for several
days, and meantime the deadly work
would be done 1t is rather strange
that this method OF destruction has not
been hit upon before. Murderers and
novelists are slow to utilize the resour-
ces of civilization.-Boston Transcript.

What 1t Cost the Working Men of this
Country.

The drink bill of the working men of
our nation during the past year was ST.
100000 This enormous sum of money
is annually worse than wasted, whether
wages are high or low. The labor agita-
tors and strikers argue that the severe
Oppressor of the laboring man is the
bank, railroad. the mining and manufac-
turing companies. Intemperance is the
greatest monopoly we have in America
to-day. We give the following figures to
substantiate the claim compiled from the
census reports:
The total banking capital of the United
States last year was Sill 100000. The
working men drink all the banks dry in
nine months. The mills and factories
cost $4,000, 100000. In just four years
and two months this vast sum is swal-
lowed down by the working men. The
railroads cost $500, OOo.6OO Even this
immense sum slips down their threats in
five years and nine months. Think of it !
How values equal to the nations great
est enterprises go gurgling down the
Threats of the people annually.
In thirteen years all the steamship
companies, railroads, telegraph compan-
les, banks and manufactures would be
consumed with half million to apply
on the farms. All this is only the work.
ing mans share of the nations drink bill.
Mr.. Powderly says: The rum habit is
the wage earner's greatest enemy" The
curse of intemperance is growing among
women as well as men in the United
States.-Ike Home Record

A Spoon Luncheon.

A spoon luncheon was the very novel
entertainment given by recent bride
to the trademarks and ushers who were
to attend the wedding, says Demorest's
Magazine. The table cloth was white
linen with delicate drawn work, over
pale blue satin, the china white and
gold, crossed spoons made of forget-me-
nots were in front of each plate, and
the central decoration was a mound of
white and pink rosebuds, supported by
china cupids, each holding large spoon
made of forget-me-nots. Tie souvenirs
were, for each Lady, a silver spoon with
the combined monograms Of the bride
and groom, and the date; and for the
gentlemen, scarf-pins shaped like tiny
spoons. with a turquois in the bowl Of
each.

Canals as Fish Traps.

A petition is being circulated and
largely signed by the people in this part
of the valley, says the La lara (Col. }
Echo, and will be presented to the
Eighth General Assembly praying for
the enactment of a law to provide for
the screening of the headgates of the
irrigating canals for the protection of
fish. The destruction of fish through
this source is deplorable. Recently as
the water was being turned off in the
Del Norte irrigating canal seining
party succeeded in catching two hun
dred pounds of trout. and only half a
mile was gone over. AS the canal is
forty miles long it is estimated that It
contained sixteen thousand pounds.
And this is one of many canals in. the
valley, but the Del Norte ditch is
thought to be the most destructive.

The Rev. Henry w. George and His
Terrible Case of Kleptomania.

Tefr1Dle case OF kleptOmAnlos
Kansas City Star.
The Rev. Henry w. George, who is in
Jail at Catskill, N. Y, charged with caus-
ing the disgrace and death of LOttie
Townsend, has made public statement
of his case, which is supplemented by a
remarkable story from the lips of cler-
gyman, of a demon which, he says, has
pursued him from infancy. Mr.. George
admits his guilt, but asserts, however.
that the only scandal which had pre-
viOusly been connected with his name
was his mania for taking other peoples
property.
''From my earliest bOyhOOd,'' he said.

After leaving Boston, went to Ober-

and faculty early learned of my failing,
and was called into private council and
to Huntley, ILL.,, with no cessation of this
malign influence, but | am not aware
that restitution has not been made for
everything taken by me while at that
place. From Hmntley went to Creston.
Ill. 1t was the same thing there. Near
Creston met and married my wife, and
L

because l needed them, but because l
was pOwerless to resist the temptation.
