Putrefactive Poisoning.

Permit me TO supplement your interest
ing annexation upon Bullets as Microbe
Carriers" by the following remarks, says
a writer in the Pail Mail Gazette. Al
though in the case of the bullet the
infection with poisonous bacteria is
accidental, owing 20 striking the earth,
yet it is reported that there is a tribe
OF aOOrigines in the New Hebrides who
purposely make use OF a telluric or earth
poison for their arrows. On their arrow
heads they smear dry earth taken from
marshy ground, with the result that The
wounds inflicted by their arrows usually
end fatally in tetanus and lock Jaw. Al
lied heterogeneous are probably also
the source OF those deadly arrow poisons
which are obtained by savages fr ON
putrefactive matter. In the Norwegian
whale fisheries, after having driven the
whales toward the shore, they are sur
rounded by a net, which prevents them
through fear returning 10 the deeper sea.
The whales are next struck with prepared
putrefactive poisoned %harpoons. In about
twenty-four hours some OF the whales
begin 10 exhibit signs Of exhaustion,
probably through septic or suppurative
pOlsoUlng, HuU axe hence IcdullN cap
tured. II is then found that the harpoons
are imbedded in masses of inflammatory
gangrenous tissue.
These harpoons are removed and care
fully preserved without being wiped or
cleaned, TO be employed for the next
shoal of whales. when these harpoons are
again used. producing and repeating
their septic or poisonous properties. The
explanation Of this rapid poisoning is due
to the harpoons carrying with them the
germ OF bacteria OF an infective infiam-
nation, inoculating the whales by getting
up infective or poisonous inflammation.
Nero and Domitian used special putrid
preparations made from the sea-hair
(apiysis punctata), a kind Of sea slug or
snail, for secretly poisoning their enc
mics. Similarly, from time immemorial,
some savages have used died putrid
animal poisons for their arrows to kill
men and animals.

The Growth or Adycrtisinp.

One OF the most interesting phases
OF the growth OF business Ia this
country has been the development OF
al vertising. still IL may be said
that Advertising In this country is
still in its infancy.
To-day there are a number OF con
Germs which spend anywhere from
$500. 900 70 $500, 900, a year In ad-
vertising In this country alone. No
claim Is mad here for the success of
advertising unless the article posses
SEES merit. In selling an article OF
merit, legitimate advertising paves
the way for a ready success, and
newspaper al vertising is unQuestion-
ably the best method TO employ.
The newspapers are the best means
for the distribution OF Advertising
matter, costing less in proportion TO
the number OF people reached and
causing the least trouble.

This Lord Pebbles MIX.

To be a tradcsman, i. G., to sell any
thing at retail, is the one objectionable
sin in England that bars the unfortunate
criminal u of the charmed circle of
good society. A lord, YOU know, would
be forever disgraced If 10y any chance he
should associate with such a low person
age. IL seems, however. that there are
ways of getting around the disgrace of
such ca!lings. A recent lawsuit in Eng
land brings % u the fact that the Right
Hon. Lord Rayleigh is engaged in husi-
ness as a milk seller. lie has applied for
an injunction To restrain one Sullivan
from pcddling milk overa certain walk
in opposition To his lordship. II appeared
that Sullivan had been in Lord Rayleigh's
service, and on leaving it had made an
agreement with him that he would not
conduct a milk business within IA certain
district for the period of two years. So
the lord is "A milk peddler, but, then, of
course, he does not drive his W wagons,
but just takes the money. That makes a
difference distinction, at any rate. 49,

A DRAMA.


Coming over on the Michigan Central
the other day a tall, fine appearing man
and a handsomely dressed, refined look.
ing woman were seated just in front OF a
plainly dressed, sweet faced old lady
about seventy years old. Every little
while the man would turn and address a
remark TO the elder woman, and her eyes
would glow with pride, for he was her
over cordisl-perhaps she was not proud
of the old lady-yet she would deign TO
drop a word or two once in a while.
Finally the son turned-as the porter
informed them of the dining car in the
rear-and said well, mother, Emma

and a cherry-faced, handsome blonde
stepped in. He appeared to he looking
eagerly for some one.
Finally his glance fell on the little old
lady.
"Mother" he cried in a delighted
voice.

were clasped in IA loving embrace so
genuine as 10 cause tears to rise in the
eyes of one OF the passengers, and the
rest looked on in an Interested manner.
"Wherc are Frank and Emmal" he in
quired.
They have gone into the dining car.
Emma isn't well, you know, and has to
have a good. hot dinner" She repeated
this in an apologize way, for she saw a
look in Johns eyes that she did not fail
10 read-and Frank, was he not her son,
tooy
'But you didn't wish any dinner, |
suppose" and his eyes fcll on the little
basket. He saw it all at a glance, but
he must not hurt his mothers feelings
thus.

faded sweet face.
We'll, I'm a~wtuliy hungry s'pose We

As they left the car they met the other
couple. Halo, John! where did you

passed on.
When the passengers who heard and
saw it all arrived at Chicago they saw n

the crowd. A carriage was called and
they drove off. No one seemed to see

Small Pocket Change.

"A congress TO abolish the small
change would be an appropriate way
in which 10 wind up the series OF
meetings under President Benny" re.
marked a sad-eyei man yesterday to a
reporter for the Chicago Tribune.
There is nothing ia the world that tends
more in the direction of prohigate ca
penditures.
1.-THE Sherman law has had the major
part Of the burden Of hard times laid
upon it's shoulders, but no greater evil TO
the prosperity and financial well doing
of humanity exists to-day than the little
receptacle on the r~ight-hand side of a
mans coat, where the stray nickels,
dimes, quarters aud halves find their
way when a large bill is changed.
From the moment the coins drop into
the pocket they might "a we'll be
charged up TO dead loss, for the owner
loses their identity right then and there
so far as value is concerned.
"It is so easy, when passing along
through the streets, in the shops, or the
many places where there are opportuni-
ties to spend money in little driblets, to
dip into this pocket, and it is cleaned
out before one has any notion Of il. To
the change pocket also, ] lay the blame
10 a considerable extent of the increase
in the drink habit. Many a man has
