and it was easy to sec that when he wasn't wrestling with swamp fever he was scrap. ping with chills.
 "Howdy, Jim!" salutcd the squatter as ne looked up.
 "Howdy, sah'' replied Jim as he came to n halt near us and leaned against a tree.
 Cum over to sec Linda;"
 "Rcckon so.''
 "Iinda hain't ycrc today. Gone over to see Toms wife"
 "Yans1"
 Nothing morc was said for q couple of minutes. Jim furtivcIy regarded me, and the squatter smoked away and kept his eyes on the ground and seemed to be turn ing something over in his mind. At length he removed his pipe and said:
 "Sec yerc, Jim, yo' Is shnckelty."
 Vans, shackClty," replied Jim.
 "fo' has chillS and fever all the time" "Yaas, all the time"
 ''Yo' hain't got no cabin"
 'No cabin"
 "Nor mewl."
 "Nor n mcwl."
 The stem Of the old clay pipe found its way back to the squattcr's mouth, and he drew q dozen whifIs bcfoEo he removed 1t again to say:
 "Yo' hain't even got dawg''
 "No; hain't got no dawg."
 My Linda's n powerful nice gal.''
 ''Ynas, powerful nice"
 ''Yo' want to marry Linda, but what yo' got to marry On:''
 Jim got Il new brace with his feet and procccded to scratch his back against the tree while he did some hard thinking By and by he replied:
 Got ambishun, reckon"
 Whats that,"
 "Dunno.''
 The squaticr removed his pipe and pointed with il in his hand to the swamp from whence the young man had appeared. What" qucricd Jim.

 'Kase yo'vc got some durned ailmcnt which may bc kctchin and kerry the hull family of at q days notice. Chills and fe- yer and backache and weak knees aud biliousness ar had huff. but if yo'vc went and gono and let ambishun jump on ter yo' then Lindas' olc pap hain't got no further use fur any sich.''
 Jim ceases to scratch that he might hCavc sigh and take n long. lingering look at the cabin Then he scratched once moro and turned into tho path md soon disappeared in the swamp. We looked after him in silence, and Inc had long been out of sight when the squattcr muttercd: ''Humph, Jest like shacklCty young man to ga and kCtrh ambishun and bc laid up all summer and mcbbc die with it!''

 City and Country Taxpayers
 With the advent of the season when rural roads are in poor condition the subject of road reform Rgain receives attention Thsrs ha. bsen some i'm provsmsns in recent ysaxs sincs the campaign of education was commenced The greater part of this improvement has been due to the action of localities and individuals. A few farmers and others who find that good roads are a paying investment in saving time horseflesh and vehicles as we'll as per mitting the drawing of heavier loads are beginning to manifest disposition to voluntarily make their local roads better.
 It has been found that there are two classes of objectors to improvement of the roads at county expense in New York First, the farmers are not fully prepared to meet their legal share of the cost of the work: secondly, city taxpayers assert that when country roads my lead business out of the coun- ty and be a detriment to the cities they will pay the larger part of the cost.
 The farmers of locality, if roads were improved, would, it is said, seek the best and nearest market, which may not be a city in their county. But what a city which is a county seat would lose in this way would be made up by increased trade from farmers living out side the county boundary, but near the city in question. Hence there would be no loss to taxpayers of cities
 The latter. to their credit, be it said, are less adverse to the improvement of county roads at public expense than many residents of rural localities. This is the more remarkable as the roads that will be improved under the county system are outside the cities and lead past property owned by the objecting rural people. An impression has been made on the latter. however, and per haps in 2 few years we shall have q de- mand on the part of the farmers for bet ter roads.-New York Mail and Ex- press

Poisoned Arrows,

Poisoned arrows have been in use
since time out of memory. We have
it on the authority of both Strabo and
Aristotle that the ancient Gauls. poi
soned both their arrows and the shafts
of their spears with preparation of
vegetable poison extracted from what
is now believed to have been species
of hellebore. The Scythians went a
step farther and used the venom of
serpents intermixed with the virus of
putrid blood, the latter being one of
the most active and incurable of the
poisons known even to-day.
The natives of Japan, the Amos,
prepare their arrow poisons from a Sc
cretion of the bamboo, and the same
may be said of the Aborigines of Bor-
neo, Java and New Guinea.
In Central and South America the
"Woorara" poison was the terror of
the early explorers, as well as of the
modern scientific expeditions. Analyses
of several specimens of arrows rubbed
with this poison prove it to be mix
ture of rattlesnake venom, putrid
blood and juice from the plant or tree
which produces the strychnine of
commerce.
Among the North American Indians
the Sioux, the Apaches, Comanches,
the Bannocks, the Shoshones and the
Blackfeet were the chief tribes which
used poisoned war implements. The
Sioux obtained their supply of venom
and virus by forcing large rattlesnakes
to strike their fangs repeatedly into
the liver or kidney of deer or buff
falo, and then allowing the meat to
putrefy. When q war party went out,
one of their number was made bearer
of this putrid, venom-soaked mass,
and whenever battle was imminent
each brave would take turns at jab-
bing his arrows into the poison.
Among the other tribes mentioned, al
though the process of obtaining the
poison supply was not always linden
tical with the above, the general mo-
dus operandi and results were very
similar. st. Louis Republic.

Russia has decided to spend quar-.
ter of billion in the improvement OF
her navy. This is n pretty expensive
outlay in pursuance of plan to keep
the peace: but the leading powers of
Europe are not stopping at expense.
England will have to meet these fig.
ures, and France can be relied upon
to slide several big war ships into the
water. II looks to the Detroit Free
Press as though the test of modern
naval improvements was not far off,
and it may be followed by very mate
rial changes in the map of the eastern
continent.

Remarkable Little Magnets.

A magnet which the great Sir Isaac
Newton wore as set in his finger ring
is said to have been capable of raising
TAG grains, or about 300 times its own
weight of three grains, and to have
been much admired in consequence of
its phenomenal power. One which
formerly belonged to Sir John Leslie,
and which is now in the Royal So
ciety's collection at Edinburgh, has
still great powers. 1t weighs but lit
tie more than Newton's curiosity

supporting 1860 grains, and is, there

And Isola ran, sobbing, into his

days she had endured. Nothing was

his shoulders. He was one who al.

Much Like A Man,

The Kulu Kamba is more like a hu-
man being, according to Professor
Garner, than any other animal. The
principal difference between the phys
ical organization of human being
and a gorilla, according to the same
authority, is that the spine of the
gorilla is not SO regularly jointed as
that of a man, some of the joints hav-
ing seemingly gone into partnership.
The difference, or to put it more finely
the distinction, between the chimpan-
zee and the Kulu Kamba is still mat
ter of conjecture, Professor Garner
says, as he does not possess skeleton
of the Kulu Ksmba. Skeletons of
gorillas and chimpanzees are the same
to him as n varied collection of pipes
are to some men, and he expects to be
just as we'll supplied with the mani
mate remains of Kulu Kambas some
day. Having been in Africa on scien-

The New York Journal of Commerce

The New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin, which keeps
daily record of the fires in this
country, and is deservedly high au-
thority on all questions of insurance,
reports the total losses by fire in the
United States and Canada in the year
1898 at S156, 445, ,S75, against 1892, =
704, 700 in 1892. In but one month of
1898 did the total of fire losses sink
below $40, 100000 and that~was in
February, when the returns of the
Journal of Commerce place the figures
at 50, 919, 900. The same paper reports
235 fires in December of a greater de-
structiveness than $4,000 each. 1t
says that the underwriters attribute
much of the loss TO careless installa-
tion of electric light and power
plants Under these circumstances it
ought to be the occasion of more than
insurance interest to learn that the
electric risk is being investigated by
experts who are gathering particulars
of all the fires traceable to electricity.
Electricity is a good servant who will

RArEs OF ApvERrlsIno,
POET AND PEASANT.

poet and peasant, side by side,
Together dwelt within the self-same town :
The poets fame was noted far and wide,
The peasants not beyond the townships
bound.
The poet sang OF love and household joys,
But neither wife nor children made him
glad
The peasant had a wife, two girls and boys,
Who with him lived and his small cottage
shared.
The poet mused "What is this gift OF miner
'Ts but dream, hollow dream Of bliss /;
would exchange it gladly at the shrine
or Hymens altar for young child's kiss"
The peasant sighed while at his daily task,
Turning the burrows while he held the
plow;
"Had my neighhor's gift would not ask
For higher honors to bedeck my brow"
All such is life, common fate of all,
With pain and pleasure ever strangely
bleut;
The gifts we crave on others lightly fall,
And with our own we never seem content.

The Baltimore Suns tribute TO the
South is worthy of reproduction:
'Less complaint has been hoard from
the South during the last eight or ten
months than from any other part of
the country, but this is not because
the people of this seclion have not felt
the financial stringency, bIlt because
they have learned to suffer and be
strong and silent, too. They are not
given to making an outcry every time
they come to rough places in the road
of life. For a people who, prior to
1860, enjoyed an exceptionally lux
urious existence, the manner in which
they bore the poverty and privations
that followed the war was amazing in
its calm strength and quiet endurance,
and was fully as heroic as their bearing
during that conflict. The bravery and
patience with which they have since
struggled to redeem their fortunes
have been no less admirable, and their
progress toward prosperity has been
noted with heartfelt interest by theil
