PARIS GREEN FOR cows.
An Attempt to Poison the Whole
Town of Newark, N. Y.

From The Philadelphia Inquirer.
NEWARK, n. V. Aug. 2.-Some I'M
known fiend poisoned the cows of man
named Stuart, big milk dealer of this
place, Saturday, by mixing Paris green
with their feed. As soon as it was discov-
cred the milk men turned to town on horse
back and informed their customers that IL
was unsafe to use the milk, as it had been
poisoned.
Ia many cases the warningIcame too late,
for number of people who had drunk
freely Il the milk had been made sick, and
Mr.. Stuart's herd of forty-sx valuable
Holstein cows are dying. 1t was one of the
finest herds in the state, and one of the
COWS already dead was valued at 300.
-Four are dead and eight more are dying.
Many of the others will not recover. Mr.
Stuart's loss has reached over 5000.
1t was not until long after the milk had
been served to customers that on one Of the
men going to see if the water was affected
at the spring it was discovered that bran
and cornmeaI, mixed with about one-third
of Paris green, had been placed IN heaps be-
side the paths that the cows followed down
to the watering place, and upon careful IN
vestigation he found fifteen or more OF the
places and that the meal had nearly all been
eaten.
He found one heap that hadn't been
touched and, Judging from the quantity Of
the poison in that there must have been at
least seven pounds of it mixed with the
meal and bran. The community is sho oked
beyond description, for had the poison not
been discovered as it was, before the milk
had been used, there is no telling how far
the mortality might have extended, as Mr..
Stuart sells large quantity OF milk.

AN UNPARALLELED CASE.
A California Man With a Large De
post of Hair in His Intestines.

post Of Hair in His Intestines.
From the So Louis Republic.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. DIR. K.
D. Wise Of Los Angeles has had charge Of
one of the most peculiar cases recently that
ever came in a physicians way. Several
weeks ago a man named Rescroft of Comp
ton, Cal, was taken sick. He suffered in
tensely and his case, for a long time, baffled
number of physicians. His intestines
were Obstr ucted and the strongest medicines
had no effect. At length it was decided
necessary to resort to the knife to save the
mans life. The operation consisted i'll cut
ting open the abdominal cavity and search
ing for the cause of the obstruction.
The result was discovery believed to be
unparalleled in the history of operations in
this or any other country. Finding where
the obstruction was situated, its removal
could only be brought about by Sitting
open an intestine. The substance felt very
hard. and when opened the establishment of
physicians can be imagined when they came
across a large mass Of woman's hair.
The foreign body was removed,
aud the wound in the intestine care
fully sewed together. Reacroft rallied at
once, but sank again, and Will hardly live,
as six feet of intestines were verging on
gangrene on account of the long stoppage
by the impacted hair. II took only three
quarters or an hour to perform the difficult
task. The switch of hair was two inches in
diameter and about foot in length. 1t is
womans hair beyond doubt, and it plugged
the intestine as tightly as a corked bottle.
The strangest part of it all is that one
half of the hair is black aud the other half
blonde. This was another mysterious
feature of the case. All sorts of theories
are ahoat to account for the presence of the
hair in the stomach. The medical gentle
men say he must have swallowed it, as it
was found above the big intestine. The
patient denies ever having swallowed any
hair. This statement made the matter
more intensely interesting for the doctors
who were trying TO solve the mystery. Rea-
croft has been married twice. His first
wife was a brunette, and was reported TO
have Jet black hair. .Reacroft took unto
himself second wife about four months
ago. She has blonde hair.
The supposition is that the switch of hair
found in the stomach was made up OF hair
taken from the locks of both wives of the
patient. This theory is probably correct
as is also the one that Reacroft swallowed
it as a charm. If he did, the charm will in
all probability cost his life. Another theory
under discussion is that Rsacroft was IN
duced in conformity with some fad of the
Christian scientists to gulp down the hair,
which must have weighed all Of three
ounces,

CoNTRAsrED WOMAN SOCIALISTS.
Louise Michel, the Philanthropist, and
Nine. SeVerine, the Beauty.


From the Neto York Tribune.
No greater contrast can be conceived
than that presented by the two leading wo-
mon socialists of France. The one, Louise
Michel, devoid of the slightest trace either
of beauty or of any kind of feminine at
traction, lives in exile among the poor in
London amid the most squalid and wretched
surroundings.
The other, Nine. Severine, is a woman of
considerable beauty. dainty in domestic
tastes, luxurious in her comforts and soft
ening by her womanly charms the asperi-
ties of anarchy and socialism. She writes
graceful little notes on paper decorated
with a blood-red flag surrounded by a
crown of thorns, and softly purrs doctrines
of plunder and bloodshed, while Louise
Michel, on the other hand, growls forth
in surly tones words Of kindness and SYM
pathy for every kind of human suffering

The Oldest Methodist in South Caro-.
lima. 80

We learn tnat Mr.. James Porter, fa-
miliarly known as "Uncle Jimmie, is
lying quite i'll at the home of his SON..
Mr.. G. G. Porter, near Westminster.
He has been q remarkable man and.
has lived to remarkable old age. He.
is now in his Tooth year, having been!
born February 81, 1892. When q,
small boy only II years of age, he was.
soundly converted and joined the
Methodist Church. His long life has
been close walk with God. He hos
been class leader and exhorter in the
Methodist Church for over rs years.
He built the first tent at the Sandy
Springs camp ground, in Anderson
County, and for many years thereafter
attended the annual camp meetings at
that place. His piety has always been
deeply spiritual and experimental. and
he found much joy in telling to others
what great things God had done for,
him. And now in his extreme age
and feebleness he seems to have no;
other thought than that Of blessing
and praising God. His life prolonged;
is one continual hallelujah. The sight
of this dying saint would surely expel
all doubt from the mind of any skep.,
tic or infldel as 10 the reality Of the re-.
ligion of the Lord Jesus Christ. I'M.
til the last few months he has been ac-l
tive and strong. He would 60 about:
in the discharge of ordinary farm du-
ties and could do great deal of hoeing.
and ploughing even to the last year.

The Rhode Island Peace Society
recently adopted the following:
Resolved, That the wholesale wound
ing and killing of innocent human
beings, called war. at the .behests OF
politician and against the rights OF
the people, is cruel, barbarous, and
wicked.
Resolved, That for the sediment of
all disputes between nations there are
better ways. BY conciliation, ,negotia-
ZION, and arbitration.
Resolved, That we deprecate the ef'
fort of some congressman to create for
the United States large navy of bat
tie ships and cruisers, entailing an eX-
penditure of more than $500, 900, 900 on
the people in the form of taxes, and
rendering our peace less secure.
Resolved, That working people are
properly protesting against war, as
they suffer most from its torture and
death, and, by labor, pay its costs.
Resolved, That we rejoice in the
present success and prospects of the
peace cause. First, by the action of
the PanrAmerican Congress, declaring
conquest inadmissible under Ameri-
can public law, and its provisions for
arbitration.

Roman Catholic Intolerance In Mexi


Editor Christian advocate Sixty
six Protestants have given their lives
for their faith since Professionalism en-
tered Mexico, about twenty-five years
ago. During the last few weeks two
murderous attacks hava been made
upon the Protestants by their Roman
Catholic neighbors. In our own mis-
sion the members of small congrega-
ton near Puebla were assaulted about
midnight on April %, and aroused
from their sleep, to find mob of Ro-
manists setting fire to their houses
and shooting into their humble homes
with rifles and pistols. Some were in
jured, but providentially no one was
killed.
On April q, a mob of about four
hundred fanatics, headed by Anselmo
Chauez, a Roman Catholic priest, at
tackled a Presbyterian congregation in
Ell Caro-, near Zacatecas. Some of the
Protestants' houses were destroyed !;
the church was completely ruined !;
the organ, hymn books, Bible, and ev-
cry thing else inside the church was
destroyed. Three Protestans were
killed and eight others severely injur-
ed. 1t is well known that the priest
ChaneZ was the leader of the mob.
He, with about forty of the rioters, are
in prison, and the Government will
doubtless punish them as they de-
serve.
These are some of the difficulties we
find in evangelistic work in Mexico

Young people who live in these days
of cheap postage, find it hard to real
ize that the time was when it cost elk
cents to send a letter thirty miles or
less, and twenty-five cents for a dis
tance over $50 miles. These rates were
established in 1892, and were proper
toned to distance as we'll as to weight.
People did not write many letters in
those days, owing to these high rates
so in 1S45 the government reduced the
charges to five cents for letters weigh
ing not more than half an ounce, pro-
vided they were not to be carried more
than 300 miles. If the distance eX-
ceeded that, the charge was ten cents.
In 1851 second reduction made the
rate three cents for distances under s.
600 miles, while in 1868, all restriction
of distance in the country was taken
off, and three-cent postage continued
till October, 1883, when the two-cent
rate went into effect. Since 1847,
when the first postage stamp was
made, there have been lG0 varieties is-
sued. A collection of all of them
would be a valuable treasure for any
boy or girl.

cat. 81

1t was sensible cat, and said, 81
certainly shall eat you, and you must
promise me on your word of honor
that may do So"
every we'll, I will give you the
promise" *
So the cat fished the mouse out, and,
trusting to the promise, she dropped it
for an instant. The mouse darted
away, and crept into hole in the cor,
ner where the cat could not get him.

eat you ?" said puss. s
