POISON FROM BAMBOO.
Hairy Crystals Which Infiict a
Slow and Painful Death.

One of the most famous and fatal
poisons used in Japan and Java is OBJ
tanned from the bamboo, says the Chi
cago News. The young shoots of the
cane when they first push through the
ground are covered with fine, brownish
hairs, which, under the microscope, ap-
pear to be bayOnet-like spikes of crys-
tails of sileX, infinitely sharp and hollow.
Small quantities of these hairs adj
ministered daily in the blood bring on
liberation of the whole alimentary
canal, stimulating malignant dysentery.
The action must be of mechanical
rather than chemical nature, just as the
spores of the common putf-ball act upon
the eyes. The bamboo crystal is greatly
dreaded by all European residents of
Java.
A Dutch official report says that
scores of deaths among European plant
erS are due to the bamboo hairs and to
the jealousy of native women, who, when
they take fancy to white man, will
either have him or poison him on bam-
boo hairs. if it takes months to ac
complsh the job.
The infinitesimal hollow through
these hairy CRYSTALS is the most remark
able thing in connection with them,
they being the only known hollow
vegetable or mineral thorns or crystals.

FOUND HIS DAUGHTER.
Edward WardeIl Takes Her Home
After Eight Months Absences

Another sorrowing parent has recov-
cred his daughter. Edward Wardell
lives at Grantsburg, small town up on
the st. Paul & Duluth road so small
that it is seldom dignified by getting
place on the map. He has farm
up there, where he and his family live
and prosper. He has daughter, girl
of sixteen. named Nellie Wardell.
About eight months ago Nellie made up
her mind that life on a farm was too
slow for her. Her parents were not
willing that she should leave home
But she left, nevertheless, and did not
tell her parents whittier she was going.
She came to Minneapolis. She secured
a place in private family shortly after
coming to the city and, unfortunately
for her. good one. But her parents
were worrying about her. Recently
they learned that she had come to Min
neapolis. Her father arrived late Sat-
urday night. He found her yesterday
afternoon on South Washington avenue
with young man. He approached her
and asked her to 70 with him. She re-
fused. Then he appealed to an officer
and threatened to have her arrested and
sent to the reform school should she re-
fuse to go with him. That caused her
to change her mind. Today they will
return to the Grantsburg farm.

POOR NORTH SIDE PUMPS.
Engineers in a Body Declare Them
Totally Inefficient.

Engineers III Il 6OOy DccIaH0 IueIn
Totally Inefficient.
The controversary over the pumps at
the north side station will never die out.
AS soon as there seems to be clear road
to the final dismissal of that topic, a
new point hobs up and opposes the way
of the pump cOntroversary out into
the wide, wide oblivion of Oblivious-
ness. 1t has occurred several times and
has occurred still again. Last week
Aid. Rollins, chairman Of the special
committee on North Side pumping
station investigation, announced that
he would call the committee together
again today. This committee has
made no report as yet, although
it finished its labors couple of months
ago. 1t may resume work now. The
taken a hand in the pump controversy.
At the last meeting of National Associ-
alton of Engineers No. 2 of Minneapo-
lis, the following resolutions, which
speak for themselves, were presented
and adopted:
Whereas, The committee appointed by
this association to investigate and report, re-
garding the North Side pumping station, has
reported the facts i'll detail, and the matter
has been fully discussed at several meetings
of this association, therefore, be it
Resolved. That in the opinion of this
body of engineers and mechanics, the pumps
at the North side station are unsuitable for
the service required by this city;
Resolved, That the entire plant is faulty in
design and erection in many particulars;
Resolved, That from the evidence before
us, we believe that the official test, made at
the time of acceptance of the North side
plant was unreliable and Of no account;
Resolved, That in our opinion the whole
difficulty with the North side station be due
to the lack of mechanical ability and expert
ence on the part of the representatives of the
city III se!ecung pumping machinery. for the
service which it was expected to perform;
Resolved, That we believe the city of Min
neapolis would be in danger of q water FAM
inc if it had to depend solely on the North
side pumping station;
Resolved, That we believe it would be ad-
visable for the city of Minneapolis to employ
mechanical engineer of recognized ability
to look after the city's mechanical depart
ment.

HIS HAPPY LOOK.
A Case Where He Made the Mis-

take of His Life.
"Say, boy ~ called out an excited man
of middle age, rushing forth from one
of the tall Office buildings on Dearborn
street yesterday afternoon, what will
yeu take for your whole stock OF those
Internal things?"
The boy had been standing on the
sidewalk in front of the building all
day, rasping calliope whistle back and
forth across his mouth. stopping only
when somebody wanted to buy one. and
beginning again with renewed energy
when the sale was completed, says the
Chicago Tribune.
He counted up the whistles he had on
hand, made rapid mental calculation
and replied:
''I'll take dollar 'naf for de lot"
IF l buy all you've got will you go
away from here and not come back any
more% asked the excited man.
"Sure! 60 out o. de business"
"Hand them over. Hold on! / want
the one you're blowing, too. Here's
your money"
"All right, boss. Here's de goods"
He turned over his entire stock, peck
eted his $3.50 and disappeared.
Inc mlddle-aged man went INSIDE Tue
building with his load of calliope whis-
ties, and few minutes later he was at
his desk, near one of the windows in the
third story. The wooden whistles.
broken to fragments, were in his waste
basket, and look of peace, to which he
bad long been a stranger, was on his
face.
Fifteen minutes had passed away
fifteen quiet, peaceful, happy minutes.
Then weird. horrible, agonizing, yet
strangely familiar sound broke on his
ear.
He raised the window and looked out.
The sidewalk directly below was
black with struggling mass Of boys.
Each boy was loaded down with CALI
ope whistles, and each was blowing one
of the instruments of torture with all
his might. The nproar was frightful
and getting worse every moment.
Then the peaceful, happy look faded
out of the middle-aged mans face. He
shut down the window, closed his desk,
put on his nat aud Overcoat, went out OF
The building by the back stairs and
faded away presently in the gloom of
Randolph street.
He had made the mistake of his life.

DENNER, Col, March 20.-Andrew
Carnegie and party arrived here on their
return East. An attempt was made last
night to interview Mr.. Carnegie, but
he could not be seen. This evening
he, however, expressed himself in
regard to the probable presidential can
didates, saying that Cleveland or Hill
would be nominated, but that he
thought some Western man should be
selected, suggesting Palmer of Illinois,
or Boies, of Iowa. He said that there
was no doubt that Harrison would be re-
nominated and elected. On the question
of silver he would only say that "Silver
was doing we'll enough the way it now
is.' The party left tonight for the
East.

in Mrs. Browns way by plausible
Jeweler. The lady possesses some mag
