POIsONs are now more generally
used by farmers in fields and orchards
than was common in the olden time.
One caution in their use can hardly
be too often repeated. They should
on no account be handled by any who
have cuts on their hands or sores on
their person anywhere into which
the poison may get. When thus in.
PRODUCED into the system the poison
goes directly to the blood, and is
much more effective and prompt
than if taken into the stomach. Only
a few days ago we read of farm Ia
borer who got some paris green in a
cut on his hand and died in two hours
thereafter. The best antidote for
paris green poison is oxide of iron or
iron rust. A few cents will buy a
bottle in liquid form at any drug
gist's, and now that paris green is in
such general use bottle Of the anti.
dote ought to be in every house.

Mosquito coast would be Of very little
interest to the world
The Mosquito coast was discovered
by Columbus during his fourth voy-
age in 1902. Its commerce is small,
it's people degraded and INDECENT, and
the country itself wanting in beauty.
Bluefelds Bluff on the south and
Bragman's Bluff on the north are the
only landmarks rising above the gen
eral level of low-lying jungle, which
stretches in dull monotony for leagues
and leagues along the coast. Even
this forbidding waste Of mangrove
swamp is interlaced by a bewildering
network of lagoons and natural
canals, succeeded farther inland by
extensive marshes and savannas
formed by the draining and sitting
up of still more ancient lagoons dur
ing long continental uprising, which
is not yet ended. The coast-line is
fronted by chain of coral reefs and
islands, with intricate and dangerous
channels between them and the main
land, which the buccaneers Of old
turned to good account. One of these

The Wild, Wandering Kirghis of Asiatic
Russia.
Roaming over the plains Of South
western Siberia, from the Caspian Sea
to the Russian Chinese frontier Of
the Altai Mountains, are the wild
Kirghis tribes, the most barbarous
people in all of Asia. They are
pastoral people, their chief occupa-
tion being the care of sheep, goats,
horses, and camels. Time and again
the Russian government has made
attempts to gather them into towns
and teach them the arts of civiliza-
tion, but the free blood Of the plains
flows too strongly in their veins and
they have successfully resisted all at
tempts to wean them from their wild
nomadic life. The Kirghis are Of
the Iurco-Tartaric race, and the men
are rather disagreeable in appear
ance. The women, however, are
rather pretty and are delicately
formed.
The Kirghis live in tents circular
in form. The tents are made by COW
ering dome shaped framework Of
poles with large overlapping sheets OF
heavy gray felt. The slightly curved
rafters which form the roof radiate
like the spokes of a wheel from
large wooden ring in the center of the
dome, and are generally supported by
skeleton wall of wooden lattice
work. in which is the door. The

THE Chicago Council recently
passed an anti-cigarette ordinance by
a vote of so to 2. The ordinance is
aimed at adulterated cigarettes and
absolutely prohibits the sale within
the city of cigarettes containing OPT
um, morphine, glycerine, jimson
weed, belladonna, or sugar, with a
heavy penalty for violation. Careful
analysis has shown that most cigar
cites contain one or more of the
above substances. They are put il
to tickle the palate or increase the
craving, and their effects are exceed
ingly injurious. Even pure tobacco
is injurious to growing children, but
adulterated cigarettes are deadly.
The passage of the Chicago ordinance
was largely due to the efforts of the
President of the Board of Education,
who presented convincing proofs OF
the evil effects of cigarette smoking
upon schoolboys.

A Farm Hands Experience in the Caro-

Western North Carolina The farm
raised little but scrub corn and razor
backed hogs. The latter were turned
out in the woods and ran at large all
seasons, eating mast, becoming as
wild as could be found in Africa. Ia
the spring it was the custom to hunt
these hogs up and brand the pigs
similar to the rounding up Of cattle
on the Western plains. This was
sometimes a dangerous occupation,
especially so when the winter had
been hard one. One day l started
out after the hogs, and after several
hours work failed to find any OF

A BALTIMORE lawyer says that
Johnson Island, of which both En-
land and Hawaii claim possession, al
ready belongs to the United States.
It was discovered 1857 by an Amer
lean named Parker, who found a
guano deposit on it, which he after
ward sold to the United States Guano
Company. The Hawaiian govern
ment afterward tried to take posses
sion, but our government refused to
recognize its claim. President Bu-
chanan, by official proclamation, rec
ognized the claims Of the guano COM
pany, and this act, by decision of the
Supreme Court, makes the island a
part of the United States.

Gen. Lewis Wallace, or Lew"
Wallace. as he is generally called, has
won such distinguished position as
q statesman and an author as to
blind us to his brilliant record as d
soldier. Gen. Wallace was born at
Brookville, Ind, in 1927. He was
educated in the schools OF his native
town, served in the Mexican war
and on his return took up the profess
sion of law. He was four years in
the State Senate, and had won a
large practice when the rebellion be-
gan. He entered the service as COL
onel of the Eleventh Indiana Volun-
teers, and was made brigadier gen.
eral six months afterward. Gen.
Wallace commanded the Union
center at Fort Donelson. He was,
censured for not having his d.
vision present at the first day Of
Shiloh. After this his services in
the West were unimportant. Dis
liked by Gen. Halleck, he was given
no command commensurate with his,
ability. After the war he was ap-
pointed Governor of New Mexico and
subsequently Minister to Turkey

known that it is useless to mention

The case of Erastus Wiman is

THE case of Erastus Wiman is a
sad, very sad one. But few short
months ago reputed to be million
aire, he now is adjudged felon and
occupies a felon's cell. A jury has
found him guilty of the crime of for
gerry, committed in the conduct of
business for the firm with which he
was connected for some thirty years,
which had grown up under his man
agement, and with which he was
identified as the heart and soul of
the enterprise. 1t is not for those
who believe justice to the wrong
doer is the truest mercy to the whole
people to say it would have been bet
ter for Mr.. Dun not to prosecute
under the circumstances. He had a
perfect right to do so, and probably
argued he was only fulfilling a duty
to society in prosecuting the man
who had built up his business from
little more than nothing to a magni-
tude that ramifled all over the United
States and Canada. And yet Ia view
of the facts that the abject letter
written by Mr.. Wiman constituted
the clinching proof OF guilt, that
without it he might not have been
convicted, and that he claimed it was
procured from him under an under
standing it would not be used against
him, his case is most pitiabie one.
After all, the position taken by Mr..
Dun in the case is not an enviable
one, nor will it raise him in the esti-
nation of the average businessman
