Death from IngrowinG Toe Nail.

Some time ago there was published
the story of the death of a Long Island
physician from blood poisoning result
ing from an ingrowing toe nail. A well
known surgeon ~chiropodist said the
other day to the reporter: 1.-The death of
that Long Island doctor is not the first |
have heard of from the same cause.
1.-The cause of the disease is common
and painful and usually directly trace

pain as severe as a toothache and not
infrequently, when neglected, results in
blood poisoning. l know of an opera

hospital where the patient suffered so
much pain that they gave him a mixture
of ether and chloroform. The operation
was successful, but when it was finished
the physicians found that their patient
had died from the chloroform."-New

Great Season for Herrings.

The herring fishing season on the Sus-
quehanna river is finished, and the catch
has been unprecedented. The pack will
amount to over G. 5000 barrels of sailed
fish. The season open April s and closed
May 10. One fisherman caught 100 bar
rels of the fish with a dipnet in the out

Tree Snakes of Hot Countries.

A set of tree snakes (Dipsas) to be
found in Africa, south Asia and north
Australia, devour birds, small beasts or
lizards, but some also feed on eggs.
These tree snakes are singularly beau
tiful in their coloration. More slender,
as their name would imply, are the
w~hipsnakes (Dryophis), which are also
strictly arboreal, but differ from the
harmless tree snakes in being nocturnal.

A EorCetful Professor.

A story is going the rounds Of Har-

He is a very ~forgetful man, and in call
ing the roll, although his class is small,
still has to rely on a printed list. The
other day he found to his dismay that
he had forgotten his list. What should
he do? The Office required a report of

To Preserve an Alpine Flower.

The diet of the Tyrol last week passed
a bill imposing heavy fines upon persons
found selling any sample of the beauti-
full but rare Alpine flower called edel-
weiss, which has been pulled up by the
roots on the mountains. A similar act
was passed seven years ago by the diet
Of Salzburg, with a view to the preserva-
ton of the edelweiss plant, which is
threatened with extinction in the Aus
TRAN Alps. In the Salzburg district the
success of this legislation is, unfortu-
nately, not encouraging.

To one acquainted with the workings

is not needed to see that this organiza-

at present six unions in the county doing

much was hoped and go little realized.
The Montesano union opened the first

and has kept it in successful operation
for several years in the face OF many dis

move in the good work, organizing

NEW DOUGLASS. ILL, Feb. 2S.-Bin
Stokes, who was arrested by Robert Page
on the charge of decoying his boy and four
others away from home, was acquitted. IL
was not proved that he was guilty. He was
not in the car with the boys, though he
was at the depot and had talked to the boys
about leaving home. He told them how he
had ridden on the car bumpers hundreds of
miles. and how easy IL was to travel and
see the country. The evidence was not
strong enough, however, to hold him. One
father gave his son good whipping. an
other told his boy he would give MIN some
money to start on, and he could go east or
west, whichever he pleased, but must not
return home until he could come TO stay.
During the afternoon three boys were
found to be missing, including August
Wedepohl, aged IL, who was one of the five
who had started for Kansas City; Jesse
Page, aged o, a younger brother Of one of
the others. and o boy named Clough, whose
home is at Donnellson. They were seen
walking up the railroad track. 1t was rain
ing hard and very muddy, but Mr.. Page
and John Vending started on horseback
for Sorrento, the first station east, in search
of them. August Wedepohl came back on
the evening train without a dry stitch of
clothing upon him. but the other two boys
boarded a freight train. and Mr.. Page
found, by telegraphtng, that they had gone
to Ramsey. He has not yet returned.
