POIS0NS IN AIR AND WATER.

The Very Fact that They Are Unseen and

"Nearly everybody is in great danger lust at
this time"
The speaker was one of the leading physi.
clans In New York.
"Witb the malaria in the air and the danger

exercise The greatest caution ana care. The
trouble with these things IS that they come
upawares ana are often unsuSpeCted The
germs of malaria are drawn I'D by every breath,
The seeds of disease are spread by each swallow
Of water"
The doctor looked thoughtful for moment,
and then cOutinued: There Is but one way 70

things all the while, and IN place OF permitting
hot and foul air to spread malaria I'D the sys'

There Is but one way that this can pc uone,
and that is by the use of some pure stlmulahC

ness appears. The only preparation Wnlcn mas
ever been known TO certainly counteract tneSe
troubles In time is that great, that popular
whiskey, Duffy's Pure Malt. 1t has been used
by the public OF America for over twenty years,
and has proven its surprising merits only by
what it has accomplished.
III men and women would counteract Inc
deadly germs in tbs water at this season or the
year by mixing Duffy's Pure Malt with II, they
need nave little fear of low fevers or malaria
1t should be borne in mind, however, that iL Is

HIS NEW BATON.
A Pleasant Surprise for
Eugene SChmitZ.
A Party of Native Sons Make Him
the Object of a Handsome
Testimonial.

E. E. Schmitz was the most pleasantly
surprised man in the city last night.
Mr.. Thos. F. BOYLE invited him to go with
him up to meeting of Mantle Parlor OF
Native SoDs and meet mutual friend.
When the two entered the parlor they
found it abaZe with electric lights and
crowded with mutual friends and the Park
band. The California orchestra and a por.
lion of Casa ssa's band joined in hailing
MIR. SchmtZ with the "Niantic March,"
written by himself and dedicated to
Mantle ParIor.
In the confusion Of the moment Mr..
SchmiiZ allowed himself to be taken by
the arm by another Native Son and led
down a narrow pathway through the
the seat Of honor beside the president of
the parlor.
When the music subsided, j. B. keenan,
rose and in a neatly turned little speech
said they had gathered together-a con-
gregation of musicians and native
sons = to do honor to an honored
member of both degrees, native
son and musician. MIR. Schmiiz had
grown up with them, and by the force Of
his native talent risen to the highest place
in his profession-to the leadership of on g
of the leading orchestras of the city. And
the Native Sons, he said, were proud of
him and wished TO show some sign of their
favor, and he had been delegated, there
fore, TO present him, etc., ETC., and handed
over a long red plush box in which was
gold tipped and banded baton.
Upon the band was inscribed:

The Story of the Blarncy Stone.

The blarncy stone is n familiar name,
and here is its history: Within a few
miles of Cork there stands in the midst OF
beautiful groves the ruined castle of Blar-
ney u picture of which appears in The
New Heading. When the castle was be-
sieged by Lord Carew in 1909, 'Cormac Nc
earthly, the Irish ehieftain who held it,
promised to give it up to the English gen
eral, but always put him off by soft
speeches until Carew became the laughing
stock of Queen Elizabeth's ministers.
Hence arose, so it is said, the common
phrase, None of your barney" There
was stone in the wall of the north angle
of the castle, several feet from the top,
which whose should kiss became forth
with gifted with great eloquence. 1t was
not easy to kiss a stone in such a position.
but the feat was usually accomplished by
the performer of it getting himself lower
ed by means of rope. This was the ia
nous blarney stone.
