The Art of Poisoning.

Toxicology seems to be becoming an
important branch of public education at
the close of this century, whose chief
glory has been the wide distribution of
useful knowledge. The art of poisoning
without leaving traces may soon be in
cluded with the accomplishments taught
at the lycees for young ladies. To those,
however. who read the papers diligently
no further instruction on this head is
needed. All that eminent chemists know
about poisons has lately been told to the
crowd of interviewing journalists who
have waited upon them, and the papers
have published columns upon columns
of toxicology.
Everybody now knows that there are
animal alkaloids arising from decomposi-
ton which are deadly poisons, but whose
traces in a corpse are no proof of suicide
or murder, because body itself pro-
duces exactly the same alkaloids soon
after death. M. Naquet, who, after be-
ing fascinated by toxicology. turned
naturally to politics, tells US that this
subtle poison can be manufactured with
the greatest ease by those who under
stand how to do it. Inquiring people
who have taste for murder combined
with chemistry will doubtless master
the process.-Paris Cor. London Truth.

1 TRAITOR GREW.
By CHARLES B. LEWIS On. QUAD

copyright, 1888, by Charles B. Lewis.l
In the month of January. 1870, small
brig called the Gospel Truth left New
Caledonia for Sunday island to transfer
six missionaries to new field of labor.
The island of New Caledonia, as you
will see by your map, lies to the north
west of New Zealand, while Sunday is
land lies to the northeast. There were
at that date at least 200 English, Scotch
and American missionaries at work
among the natives on the islands of the
south Pacific lying to the north of New
Zealand. You will rarely meet a sailor
having good word for missionary work
away from home. Sad experience has
demonstrated time and again that he is
safer among the heather than in the
sailors boarding houses of New York,
Liverpool and Philadelphia. And it has
always been puzzle to plain Jack Tar
why, for every one missionary sent out
to convert the heather, some of his own
countrymen would ship five barrels of
rum to the very same locality to offset
the good work. That is neither here nor
there, however, and | beg pardon for
being two or three points off my course.

them how the women had managed to

least one of them try it. After debating
for awhile one of them stripped off and
entered the water. | sent the women
into the cabin and then hid behind the
windlass. The man would board at the
bows and come on deck to see what had
happened. In about a quarter of an
hour he put in IN appearance, and rose

his crowd and let them know that the
tables had been turned. They were
taken clean aback and sat down and
held council There were eight of
them, and it wasn't unreasonable to
hope they might recapture the brig by
attacking in a body. After awhile they
walked up the beach until the trees and
bushes hid them from sight, but could
guess their plans. The tide would begin
to ebb about 2 o'clock. and soon after
that hour l might expect to see them

Mistakes In the Types.

The limp of the perverse," in regard
to whom Edgar Poe was wont to grow
eloquent, must be the old original print
er's DEVIL for. although the number and
variety Of his pranks with the children
of men are beyond computation, the types
are evidently his favorite playthings.
Ever since the days of Faust and Guten-
berg the category of misprints has proved
perennial source of anguish, anger and
amusement. That boo' or newspa-
per. composed of many thousand little
pieces of metal, should be absolutely
hawless is of course very improbable
The wonder is not that there should be
frequently typographical errors, but that
so many of them should be ludicrous in
their nature; that they should convey
not nonsense. but sense of a different
kind from what was originally intended.
Thus, if in the injunction keep thy
bps from guile" the word guile were
printed "giule" no particular notice
would be taken of the mistake, but if it
should read Keep thy lips from girls, {"
as is said to have been the case in one in
stance, it would certainly provoke a
smile. Errors of this sort give rise to
suspicious of malicious intent-for there
are two kinds of misprints, those which
are caused by ignorance or carelessness
and those which are the intentional off
spring of a mischievous spirit. In this
latter class belong most of the coarse and
vulgar misprints which crop out occa-
sionally in the hastily edited journals of
the day, but the large majority of mis-
prints are published in good faith

Gold and the Currency.

A correspondent asks a series of ques-
dons which, because of the general in
5erest at this time in the subject to which
they relate, are presented and answered
below:
Firstly what process do those who ship
gold 40 Europe draw on the treasury for that
article to make shipment?
Second-Have the firms that make shipments
gold on deposit in the treasury
Third-Why cannot the SlO0,OO0OO0 gold re-
serve be drawn on?
First-Usually by the presentation Of
greenbacks at the subtreasury in New
York. By the terms of the resumption
act of 1875 any one can get coin for green
backs on demand in sums of not less
than $50.
Second-Many firms have gold deposits
in the treasury, but they are kept sepa-
rate from the treasury's available cash.
Some of the gold exported has been OBJ
tanned by presenting the certificates Of
deposit held against this gold, but the
rule has been to present greenbacks, or,
rs they are usually designated, legal ten
ders.
Third-The gold reserve is liable TO be
drawn upon by the presentation of green
backs at any time after the surplus gold

was accumulated for the express purpose
of redeeming legal tenders on demand
and is liable to the last dollar for such
redemption purposes. Although there is
no law making any kind of United States
currency Except gold certifcates) pay
able M gold alone, since the term cein Is
invariably used in the statutes in this
connection, yet because it is the avowed
policy of the government to maintain all
kinds of our money at a parity with
gold the secretary of the treasury would
undoubtedly redeem any of the govern
ment's demand obligation 8 In gold if it
were demanded Gold has very rarely
been paid out of the treasury in exc lange
for silver certifcates,-New York Press.

was all could expect of them.
It was half past when the mutineers
appeared on their raft and began to drift

killed a man at the second shot and at
the third, but with savage oaths and
fiendish shouts the living urged the raft
forward. They were within pistol shot
when l aimed the fowling piece loaded
with buckshot, and two men fell at the
fire, and the others screamed out as if
wounded. The raft was now left to
guide itself, and pretty soon it passed
under the stern of the brig and was
swept seaward. AS it passed me two or
three of the men cried out for rescut
and promised good behavior, but it was
not within my power to aid them. In
an hour the raft was out Of sight, and
not a man aboard of it ever saw land
again.
It was o'clock in the evening when a
light breeze sprang up. ! let the men
out of the fo'castle one by one to tell
them what had occurred and ask them
what course they intended to pursue.
They were penitent and humble to the
last degree. Each claimed to have been
led into the business by Buttons" and
each went down on his knees to the
women and declared he had tried his
best to save the captain and the mission
airy. 1t ended, as you may guess, in our
getting under weigh for New Zealand
and in our ultimately reaching port of
safety. The men gave me not the slight
est trouble en- voyage, and for this rea-
son they were not punished as perhaps
they should have been. AS for the 9th
ers. they were beyond reach of the law.

OUR CROP REPORTS.

The Herald will this season, as in
the past, publish returns from the
threshing machiues, and all readers of
the paper are earnestly requested to
hand in Cor send all yields which
come to their knowledge. That these
crop reports are considered valuable as
advertising matter for our county is
evident by the fact that one of the great
railroad companies used, in one their
advertising phamphlets. nearly page
of crop items taken from the Herald.
Help us.all you can in this work, read
ers, and the Herald viii do its share.
The Herald will be sent to any
address notnow on the subscrip-
ton book, until Jsnuary 1st,
1894, for 25 cents.
A general statement of such and
such yield does not have the weight
and influence with outsiders that does a
statement which gives the name of the
farmer and the location of his farm.
If you want your eastern friends to
learn about the crops in Turner Coun-
ty, come in and have the Herald sent
to their address.
