THAT must be attributed to Senator
Cullom as cunning piece of political
strategy-the appointment OF John R.
Tanner, the disturbing element of the re-
publican party in Illinois, MS sub-tress-
urer 10 Chicago. The appointment is an
evidence Of the fact that while Cullom
loves Flfer no less, he loves harmony in
his party in presidential year more. but
it was not made until the sens,or-whc
looks like Lincoln--was sure which way
the Cat was to jump and that Fifer hsd
the pull in the state. The trouble is,
however, that Tanner is as sharp as they
make them, and while he may be con
tented with his federal appointment. it is
not entirely unlikely that he will yet keep
his eye ON affairs of state, and it is not to
be expected he will do any very great
amount OF work for his erstwhile friend,
the private.

Feeding Plants with Roast Beef.

There is something to a woman's mind
painfully disillusionIZing in the discovery
that plants have a distinct appetite for
flesh food, yet Mr.. Francis Darwin has put
this beyond all doubt by feeding one plant
with roast meat and treating another in
the ordinary way, with the result that the
carnivorous plant not only produced 24O
seeds to every 100 produced by the other,
but the seeds themselves were finer and
heavier. Ii was that now somewhat neg
lected philosopher, Sam Weller, who pro
pounded the sweeping theory that "Natur's
a rum 'un," and certainly this roast meat
idea is positively Gilbertian.
| hope the carnivorous tendencies OF
plants will never be cultivated to the
extent of involving such items in our
butchers books as:
One pound gravy beef for roses.......S0 L
Chump chop, IL ounces, for orchids. p
and a consequent serious money addition
to our household expenses. If it should
and a time should arrive when the resi-
dents in our Conservatives and window
gardens become connoisseurs and affect
plovers' eggs and quails, the outlook would
be truly ala ming, and the only resource
left to us poor women would be to sacrifice
our love of flowers upon the altar of econ
omy or to enUer upon retaliatory and sell
defensive course of vegetarianism.-Chi

THE LATEST POISON.

A Warning Against the Now Fashion
able Remedy, Antipyrin.
1t is with medicines as with the cut Of
dresses, the form of hats, the shade of rib
bons, and the style of ornaments; they are
influenced by fashion. This is the case
with antipyrin, for which at the present
time there is a positive rage. Without
warning it has risen to the rank of prime
necessity. At the least headache or neu-
ralgic attack the admirers Of the drug
enter the nearest chemists and obtain
dose. And yet, with the exception of pro-
fessional chemists, nobody, or almost no
body, knows either the nature or the gen.
esis of antipyrin. To most people it must
suffice to know that, substantially, anti
pyrin, like aniline, benzine and phenol, is
a derivative of coal tar.
1t is beyond doubt that by some unex-
planned sorcery antipyrin possesses the
precious virtue of alternating and even
suppressing pain instantaneously. But
writer who thinks it high time to sound
an alarm makes the following statements
in regard to the perils that accompany its
beneficent effect. He says: Let it not be
forgotten that antipyrin in spite of its ad-
vantages and services, is an undoubted
Soison, even violent poison. The acct
dents attributed to it during the seven or
eight years that it has been known as a
remedy are too numerous to count; and it
should be noted that the cases that come
to light are usually those in which there
has been the intervention of medical man
with express prescriptions and doses &C
cording to rule. What, then, must be the
consequences of the daily use by guess
work which legions of persons, who suffer
from nervous pains make of antipyrin?
To suppress pain-that is to say, the con-
suppress the malady. On the contrary, it
may be the creation of a dangerous illu-
sion, lulling distrust and paralyzing de-
fensive action.
/ 1T is by Supplying the nervous system,
and in particular the vaso-motor nerves
the springs of the circulatory system, the
nerves which govern the contraction and
dilatation of the blood vessels-that anti
pyrin exercises its soothing influence
There follows necessarily a slowing of the
circulation, more or less of an approach to
stagnation, of the blood which becomes
thicker and tends to coagulate. There fol-
lows an abatement in the elimination of
those ashes of life which are to the animal
organism what household refuse is to a
great city 1t is true that antipyrin dead
ems pain and lulls exasperated nerves. but
morphine does the same, perhaps more
surely, and we know where morphine

Tea With and without Milk.

A medical journal explains that when,
by long sleeping and cooking, tea is CON
verted into strong decoction of tannin,
as is often the case, milk is useful because
it converts the injurious tannin into a
relatively harmless albuminous tannate.
Neither the Chinese nor the japanese, who
know how to make tea, use milk with it;
but with them the hot water is poured on
and off the leaves at table and it is drunk
as soon as it becomes n pale straw color.
Nopeople in the world drink so much tea
as the japanese, yet in Japan it is never
injurious to the digestion, as by their
method of preparation the tannin is not ex-
Jracted from the leaves

FAIR WORDS.

Speech Does Not Necessarily Gain in
Truth in Ratio to Its Loss in Policy.
| There is a pernicious fallacy to the eff
/ feet that a rough tongue is an honest one,
says Marion Harland, who comments in
Housekeeper's Weekly upon this fallacy as
| follows:
There are quite as many unpleasant I'M
truths told as there are fiattering false
hoods. Because speech is kind it is not of
necessity a lie, nor does a remark gain in
truth in direct ratio as it loses in polite
ness. Often the blunt criticism is the out
come of a savage instinct on the part of
the perpetrator. In America men and
| women do not carry poniards concealed in
their breasts or swords at their sides In
| lieu of these the tongue is used to revenge
! an evil.
Determine to train yourself strictly to
see the many excellent qualities possessed
| by your associates and you will be sur
| prised to find that before long the dis
agreeable traits will only appear as foils
| for the good. Cultivate an eye for pleas
ant characteristics, and do not encourage
people who are prone to rough speech.
Frown down the blunt expression of opin-
ion and it will cease to be considered
praiseworthy frankness. The woman of

Children That Do Not Know How to Play.
A kindergarten teacher, ut the head of a
free kindergarten working among the des
perately poor and ignorant of neighbor
ing city, speaks of the pathetic unchildish
ness of the little creatures that she coaXes
into her schoolrooms. Hungry, weary and
cold; dirty, ragged and sore; kicked, beat
en- and worn at; often themselves wicked
beyond belief, they seem to have nothing
in comm on with joyous childhood save
smallness of stature and fewness of years.
They do not know how to play even, and
it is this ignorance of the underlying prin-
ciple of child happiness which seems the
saddest privation of all. The beautiful
land of make believe" is unknown to
them.
The story related by man whose bust

These are the egg cases of the sea snails.

spot of thinner material which the young
break through when they are ready to be

about to lay she buries herself in the sand,

TIE Physicsi ..a,ninr Of Boy..

Boys OF today have great advantages u
their physical training over those Of even
ten yea r. ago. 1t is easily within the re-
membrane of those of us who have not
been oft of college so very long. how the
mere m ention of football at home brought
down storm of parental wrath, while un-
relenting prohibition followed US back to
school. The game was then an enigma,
and the newspapers added horror to the
mysterr by printing their accounts OF
matches in manner calculated to chill the
blood O any well regulated household.
Gradually as the sons induced their par
ents to rev the sport themselves, the pre-
judice wore away. The game finds favor
in schools from Maine to California, and
the result is generation of lads growing
up whose physical beauty and healthful
condition put us of the last generation to
shame. Our very sixteen-year-old strip
ling can outrow, outrun, outswim, outride
and outirive us; give us points on football,
baseball and tennis, and happily devoid OF
that siekly pallor peculiar to the student

ruddy glow of health in his cheeks.
And yet there are to be found some few
that do not favor athletics for boysl The

have on the general education and welfare
of both boys and girls has not begun to be
appreciated When see boy who does
not take his play hour, regard him with
