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 a preparation of
vegetable poison extracted from what
is now believed to have been a 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 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, rs 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
tho 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 fsngs repeatedly into
the liver or kidney of "a deer or buff
falo, and then allowing the meat to
putrefy. When IA 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 lab-
bing his arrows into the poison.
Among the other tribes mentioned, AL
though the process of obtaining the
poison supply was not always inden-
tical with the above, the general mo-
dus operandi and results were very
similar. St Louis Republic.

Saws the New York Observer sr

Says the New York Observer: "The
poor we have always with us-and the
lazy. To discriminate between them
is somewhat of task. In some cases
the wood-pile marks the division.
They go to the right or left according
to their disposition. Some of the
hungry go right to work, while by
others the opportunity to labor, and
so earn breakfast, is left severely
alone. If the newspapers are to be be-
lieved, and we see no reason for doubt
ing their statements, then while in
Chicago the unemployed number tens
of thousands it is hard to get men to
labor at fifteen cents an hour on canal
work. When men were recently asked
for from Milwaukee by q Chicago busi-
ness firm, the answer came that while
there was plenty of steady work in the
Wisconsin woods for willing men at
fair wages, the men were not to be
had. There was work, and there were
workers enough, but the men were shy
and refused to be introduced

A Man With Three Legs,

Of late wears | have lost all trace OF
my old and oddly malformed friend,
George Leppert, whom | first met at
Tiflin, Ohio, in 1881. George was
Bavarian by BIRTH and came to this
country twelve years ago, settling at
Baltimore, where he followed the trade
of wood-carver. Should you happen
to meet him on the street you would
notice nothing peculiar either in his
gait or general makeup, unless it was
that the right leg of his trousers was
something near twice the size of the
left, and too full to wrinkle besides.
This lopsided appearance was caused
by remarkable malformation, Mr..
Leppert being the not over proud pos
SCISSOR of two right legs and one left
or, in other words, of three perfectly
that should nature, through some of
her odd freaks, choose to increase my
normal supply OF legs by fifty per
cent. would do my best to play the
S100-a-week fiddle in dime museum
before the setting of the sun on the
day following the addition of the eX-
ira member to my anatomy.
He often told me that when he was
small boy in his Bavarian home he
had perfect use of all three OF his legs,
but when | saw him last in lSs7--the
extra member was slightly paralyzed,
probably the result of being bound to
It's companion, an operation that was
necessary in order t. get both into
one trousers les. When | last heard
from him, in 1891, he was at the Belle
vue IN. Y, Hospital, undergoing
treatment for rheumatism, 81. Louis

The New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin, which keeps
a 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 Sl56, 445, S75, against Sl32,
701, 700 in 1892. In but one month of
1898 did the total of fire losses sink
below $40, 900, 900, and that was in
February, when the returns of the
Journal of Commerce place the figures
at 9,9l9, 900. The same paper reports
235 fires in December OF greater de-
struetiyeness than $40 900 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 10 he the occasion of more than

Russia has decided to spend quar-,
ter of a billion in the improvement of
her navy. This is 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

POET AND PEASANT.

A poet aud 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 n wife, two girls and boys,
Who with him lived and his small cottage
shared.
The poet mused, ''What is this gift of mine?
'Tis but a dream. a hollow dream of bliss
would exchange it gladly at the shrine
OF Hymen's altar for young child's kiss"
The peasant sighed while at his daily task.
Turning the burrows while he held the
plow;
''Had my neighhors gift would not ask
For higher honors to bedeck my brow"
All such is life, common fate Of all,
With pain and pleasure over strangely
blent;
The gifts we crave on others lightly fall,
And with our own we never seem content.

days she had endured. Nothing was
