A correspondent Of the London
fines relates an experience which
shows how danger may arise from
the most u~nsuspecced sources. He
says that ten minutes after he and
his wife had finished their soup at
dinner the other evening both were
attacked by faintness and dizziness,
the symptoms increasing IN violence
until he deemed 1t expedient to sum-
mon his physician. Then he discov-
cred that all his servants were suffer-
Ing in a similar way. The doctor, as
soon as he arrived, perceived that
poison was at work, and at once re-
sorted TO heroic measures, which
proved efiectual. Investigation re-
yealed the fact that the cook had
favored the soup with what had been
bought for celery seeds, but which
proved to be henbane. A visit to the
grocer who had sold the stuff was
then made, and in his possession were
found two more bottles tabled s'celery
seed" but containing henbane. The
grocer. 1t appears, was wholly limo
cent in the matter. He had procured
the seeds from a wholesale rrm,
which had imported them from
France. 1t appears that henbane Is
so per cent cheaper than celery seeds,
and that some French exporter Ii
using it as an ~adulterant Persons
buying French celery seed would dc
well to make sur that they are get
| ting the genuine article.

Japanese Denhstry.

In Japan the dentist extracts every
tooth, be 1t upper or lower, incisor or
molar, without the use of an instru-
meLt, his fingers having been trained
to take the part Of the forceps. And,
although 1t may seem incredible, il
is nevertheless a fact that the jap
anese dentist 10 more proficient 10 his
art than his European brethren, and
here is the way that he arrives at his
proficiency:
In a board Of soft wood. holes are
drilled, and 10 the holes pegs are H.
verified loosely.
The board is laid on the floor, and
the apprentice tries TO pull out everv
peg perpendicularly without in the
least disturbing the position OF the
board, using the thumb and foreineer
Of his right hand, Able, to do this,
the pegs are inserted tighter, the
thumb and f~orefinger gaining strength
and ~dexterity in manipulation as he
Keeps on practicing.
Having perfected himself at the
pine board, an oak board Is sub
stituted, the oak PEGS being driven
In tightly. There he practices for
weeks and months, till, finally, the
oak pegs succumb to the skill and
power Of his fingers.
The third and last term comprises
the extracting of maple pegs, very
tightly fastened into a maple block;
Passing the required examination at
this block. he IL graduated and sent
forth to try and pull "human pegs ="
There we see him take a position
similar to one we would assume, hold
the jaw and keep the mouth open
with his left hand, whilst with the
two fingers OF his right he passes into
the mouth and extracts, If necessary,
Ave to seven teeth In a minute.

form Of fricassees, or fried with
Dnions and mushrooms, or poached
with cucumbers or asparagus, or
Ierved with grated cheese, or buttered
with sorrel, or minced with parsley,

The old v~egetariana admitted this

| Within recent years there has arisen

guusa EIneers.

In feudal times. when gentlewomen
were forced To lead isolated and mo
notonous lives, the embroidery Of rich
stuffs, and fine needlework Of an
kinds, was their favorite occupation.
The unhappy Mary Stuart possessed
rare skill in this direction, and had
ample leisure to apply 1t during her
eighteen years OF captivity. No
glimpse Of her life brings her more
favorably before the mind than the
scene in which she is described as
seated In her room in Fotheringay
Castle, surrounded by her women, she
and they alike engaged on some won
derfui embroidery intended as a gift
to the sister queen who held her as q
prisoner. Gowns, tunics, gloves, Cir
dies, mantels-all were p~rofusely
decorated in those days. Noblemen
wore their c~oats-of-arms embroidered
on their breasts; heraldic animals
played an important part In dress
ornamentation, and an old French
chronicler In the fourteenth century
graveIy notes the fact that a pair Of
shoes with lions wrought on the toes
formed a necessary adjunct Of the at
tire of every well-dressed gallant.
Mems dress equalled that OF a wo-
man in m~agnifcence and variety Of
hue. Magnus, a French king OF the
twelfth century, had crimson silk
lions embroidered on his trunks; and
a noted French gallant a couple Of
hundred years later, appeared at
court In a tunic, on the sleeves OF
which were worked the words and
music of a song then very popular, the
first line of which ran: MADAME, 1
am more joyous" The notes Of the
music were composed Of some six
hundred pearls. In the South Ken
sington Museum, q veritable store
house of priceless relics, there is pre-
served a white liner jacket literally
covered with fine silk embroidery in
gorgeous tints, and this very snowy
article was intended for masculine
wear. Indeed. the male love OF orna-
ment and color remained almost I'M
| checked until this practical century
had nearly reached its majority.
| Even now, most men are glad to per-
init themselves some license in color
when possible. Our gilded youth
have been laughed at for their love
of lnery in the matter Of silk shirts
and gay house-jackets, but 1t seems
to me a foible which on many ac-
counts their sisters and sweethearts
would do well to encourage, and with
the work of nimble fingers assist in
the qualification Of a pardonable
weakness.

Tho Convent Of La Rablda.

When Columbus turned away from
the Vega, where every passer-by
pauses to look upon the Vermilion
Towers, and from that city where
none remembered him OF his great
project, the Convent of La RAbida
must have seemed to him like a
beacon light in the black night OF
shipwreck.
A little Enclosure, neshadowed,
in the solitude; the measureless west
ern ocean before his eyes; a cloudless
heaven toward which to turn a clouded
sight; a pavement o. sepulchrai
stones; closters wherein to mediate
and prepare for the end; sanctifed
affairs to which to cling In hope Of
pardon and of an eternity too long
unthought of amid thirstings for
earthly glories, less substantial than
a vapor-wreath, and ah! for the dis
covery Of worlds which, compared
with the Infinite, are, but as atoms.
penitents and recluses about him that
to his soul seem but as shadows-in
all these Is found an explanation OF
the refuge sought by Columbus at La

An Organized Band Causes Great Damage
In Tennessee.
GALLArIN Tenn, Feb. 5.-A reign OF terror
has existed for two years in this county, due to
the deprcdations of what appears to be an
organized band Of barn burners. The hotbed
Of these criminal operations appears to be in
the neighborhood of Henderson, 10 miles from
here. In this one vicinity over 500 600 worth
Of property has been burned.
Recently Andrew Epps. Abe Youree, the Mar
tin boys aud eight other river rats, all white
men. were arrested for participation in the
crimes, but were acquitted. The sentiment
was SO strong against them. however. that they
ncd. Tuesday 1t became known that the Mar
tin boys had returned. That same evening a
mob visited their house and demanded their
surrender. This was refused, and when
moment later o head was seen at the window
the mob fired. Then it was discovered
that they had killed the mother of the boys.
They left Immediately and the sons, after bury
ing their mother and telling neiehbor what
in the neighborhood on Wednesday thal they
had been overtaken, shot to death and their
bodies left in the woods.
Wednesday night the handsome farm house
OF Wm Dixey, not far from the Martin home,
was burned as the result of an incendiary fire.
Four barns also went down before an incen-
diary torch.
Today White county is aroused. Armed men
are patroiing every farm and suspicious-look-
ing persons will fare badly. There are rumors
OF several killings, but affairs in such an ex
cited state that it il not possible to learn the

"
The Collector Of Bridgcpor: Reports That
There Was No Trouble Mt All.
Collector Edwards of Bridgeport Conn. in a
letter to the Secretary Of the Treasury says that
the report Of assault by the Bridgeport populace
upon the British schooner Glendon on sunday
last for entering that port without flying tho
American flag, was ell hoax. After referring
to the incident, as published in the papers, he
says:
Immediately sent an officer to the wharf
where she landed, with orders to report il
there was any trouble. 1 also asked
the captain GRADY if any one had
threatened to 60 or his vessel and take
down the flag. His answer was most
emphatic denial. also that be knew nothing
about any disturbance until he read il In the
papers. There were a few young men, per-
haps ten or twelve, who suyed INN about
his flag, but he took no notice OF IT, The
officer came back and reported to me that
there was no one at tine dock where the vessel
Law and that it was all hoax. Therefore, after
a careful investigation, am satisfied that the
report of great excitement among our citizens
existed in the imagination OF a young and jeal-
GUS newspaper reporter seeking notoriety
as well as making q large sale Of the
paper which he represents. In NV opinion
there should DO some punishment, and that
severe one, for a person or a newspaper that
will send over the country such reports utterly
devoid of truth and which might cause for a
while, at least, very unpleasant and disturbing
relations between nationalities as well as among
our citizens.
As the officer understands IL the captain OF
the vessel (Glendon) had no thought or desire
to insult our citizens by flying the British flag
when entering the port, but be supposed. and
as l believed he had q right SO to do. that the
customs officers might see a. to what nationality
his vessel belonged.
