About Narcotic Poison.

At the Davenport church last evening
 Mrs. M. E. A. Gleason, national lecturer
 on narcotics for the w. c. T. U., spoke She told of the injurious affects of the
 use of various poisonous drugs, such as
 opium, antipyrine and cocaine also to-
 bacco and alcohol, and said that the young men of the country need no bet ter examples of the injurious effects of excessive use of tobacco than the eases of General Grant and Emperor Fred eric, both of whom suffered terrible az ony and were able to conquer other men, but could not conquer themselves. Dr. Richards of Boston, who has studied the subject for thirty years, says there is no deadlier narcotic than tobacco In- less perhaps prussic acid. Use of to- bacco gives rise to diseases of the brain, skin, heart and lungs; in short, intures every organ of the body. While alcohol causes the heart to beat faster, tobacco causes a very irregular motion and con- Sequently is much more dangerous. To it's use may also be traced numberless diseases of the eye and ear. Instances are known where women have contract ed nicotine poison from a husband, or other relative who used tobacco. Of all the forms into which tobacco is man. ufactured, cigarettes are the worst In this business over $37, 900, 900 is invested, and this great trust puts drugs of vari- ous kinds into the cigarettes in order to create an appetite. About 60,00O, 900 is expended in tobacco every year in the United States and this to a great extent by men who stand about street corners complaining of monopolies and hard times.
 Mrs. Gleason touched upon all other narcotic poison, telling of the evil ef- fects of each. She has made much study of the subject and her address was listened to with much interest by a large audience.

 Berlin, April 21,-Trustworthy dis patches from St. Petersburg say that the Standard oil company and the Rus sian producers have perfected their agreement which awaits now the finance minister's sanction before be- coming operative. The public share largely the excitement of spectators In oil. Every scrap of news regarding the Russo-American negotiations has been snapped up eagerly, and spread conspicuously on the front pages of newspapers throughout the empire.
 The rise in the price of oils Is likely to cause the more energetic exploitation of the works in Alsace and Lorraine, which already provide per cent of the entire amount consumed in Germany. Production in Westphalia has also been stimulated

One Deputation Presented Him With a
 Bronze Group,
 Berlin, April 21.---Prince Bismarck re. ceived two deputations in Friedrichs- ruhe today. The first one was com. posed of university graduates represent ing between 5000 and 10000 members of alumni societies. The graduates assur- { ed him that they would concentrate 7 their efforts upon the preservation and Qualification of the empire. The prince Nreplied that they could do no more; his own aim had been the same. A A deputation from Dessau presented Ha bronze group showing a victorious stag so placed as to face the castle gate. Bismarck told the Dessauers that they were especially welcome, because Des- ssau. although once a hothouse of states Flights, had adapted itself willingly to he conditions of the new empire. Such ! course, he said, was proof that some hing more ideal than particularism ex- sted in German hearts. That some hing was the national feeling. The [ational sentiment now glimmered un- CT ashes, but would soon blaze into a barring fire. Pointing with laugh to .he bronze stag, Prince Bismarck laid:

 Russia.
 Belin, April 21.-Mme. Modjeska, the Polish actress, who was expelled from Russia recently, is in Berlin. She has appealed to Ambassador Runyon to intervene in her behalf. She supposes that she was expelled on account of a speech in favor of the Poles, which she made in Chicago.
 She entered Russia with her full com- pany, she says, under contract to play in Warsaw, Moscow and Odessa, As required, she deposited 2,OOO roubles surety with the Warsaw authorities and posted her bills. Then she received notice to quit Russia within twelve hours. No reason was given and the deposit was not returned. Mime. Mod jeska sobbed hysterically in telling her story.

An Incident Showing How They
Bargain Down in Tennessee.

An Incident Showing How They
bargain Down in Tennessee.
One bright forenoon last fall near a
deserted mill in the outskirts of Chat
tanooga the following bit Of Tennessee
bargaining was overheard: An aged ne
gro, driving an old, slowly moving
mule hitched to two-wheel dump-cart
came along. He was bound for a
woodward on the banks of the Tennes-
see river near by, where that muddy
stream sweeps around the foot of Cam
eron Hill, and begins curving a grace
full bow to bold Lookout Mountain,
which looms up before it. Just as the
outfit had crossed a rickety culvert the
negro was accosted with the custom
airy "Howde?" by lazy looking ma
tive wearing a jeans suit and a broad
brimmed hat.
"HoWde!' grunted the negro as he
stopped his mule with fierce jerk,
which sent the front of the cart
against the beasts launches and the
shafts higher than his ears.
When the cart had come to a stand
still the young man took a portly chew
of tobacco, slowly adjusted his right
foot on the hub Of the cart wheel, and,
with slow, measured accents, asked:
'SIow much be We 'sellin' wood for?''
"Two bits load, boss" .
After mature 'deFiberation and mas
tication, the prospective purchaser
'drawled out:
1.-TWO bits a 1uad?''
Hits little huff, boss" replied the
colored man. Hit leaves me only two
'shillin' fer tn wood at tn yard-littlf
huff fer totin'"
Eyes; I reckon"
Then the 1anguid young man pickle,
up stick and began whiting, and
the teamster sat mute in his cart for
hVe minutes, breaking the silence f.
nally with: 49, e..
Dye reckon you'll want jab O.
wood?' 81 - =
"Nhat's what q flowed I would, but
i dunno" replied the other: ~
There was another silence of ten
minutes, broken only by the slash OF
the jack-knife through the yellow pine
stick. A horseman rode by "totin' -
a bag of meal i'm front or the saddle.
After the usual speculation as to
whom the stranger ''mout be-" the
whiting and the Misunderstanding pro-
'cesses continued for several minutes,
FINALLY when the stick had been all
whitfield away, the prospective pur-
chaser said: 49,. =
"Wah, l don't 'spect I'll take any
wood to-day" ~
His foot fell 'lazffy from the hub, the
wood hauler clucked to his mule and
the two men slowly went their respec.

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.

The Enjoyment OF IT Was Shared nv
Highly Interested Outsiders,
In certain hotel parlor in this city
there is dear little couch in COW
spot just fitted for lovers tete-a-tetes.
and a pretty girl and her best beau
have discovered it, says the Indian
apolis Sentinel When she lunches
with him at the hotel they Immediate
~ repair to the parlor and sit on the
couch. Then he puts his manly arm
around her neck and whispers airy
something's to her, pats her shoulder,
ruffies her tresses and finally imprints
not one but a bakers dozen kisses
upon her ruby lips. Sometimes he for
gets to stop for several minutes. Then
when he is exhausted from his efforts
she settles herself closer to him, and
While nothing can be seen of him from
behind her big hat, big sleeves and full
skirt save his pointed tan shoes. She
takes hand in the caressing.
Are they alone? Well, hardly. The
hard-hearted hotel proprietor. who
ought to get his deserts some day. has
SO arranged his plate glass mirrors
that the couch is plainly visible from
4 pier glass on one of the stair land
ings. Here first one bell boy and then
another stands and takes notes. Then
they giggle and go for the chamber
maids. The girls come and take en-
vious peeps until the sound Of the ia
dies coming from lunch makes them
scurry. The ladies, too, stoH on rho
landing and |. en5c5 love's young dream,
and all the time the pretty girl and her
besi nave no idea that there could be
q SOU mean llet enough to spy upon them.
But the mirror should be moved.

made from the bark of the koon schop
tree, which fs known in America IN
der the equally incemprehensible
name of '"aralia paphyrifeca" ground
up with lime and then baked in a kiln.
When this is done the mass is ham,
mered out in the form of long rolls and
then cut up into slices, Just as the
confectioner behind the great glass
window cuts up his long and yielding
twist of molasses csndy for the amuse-
ment of a crowd of boys outside and
the benefit of those who come in and
buy.
These pieces are put into a curious
little mortar and pounded together
again with a little hammer that comes
very near being worked by machinery,
just as near as anything could In
China, where there are so many hands
ready to work for a miserable allow
ance of rice. At last these slices are
made into a mass again, and this time
1t comes out as soft as dough, which
IS placed in a large pot Of water till
1T is completely dissolved, then with
something very like a sieve they lift
water from this pot, allowing it to run
back again through the bottom which
is a fine net Of bamboo thread, and
there is always thin white sediment
left in the bottom of the sieve. Sud-
denly throwing the sieve upside down
on the floor they dislodge the sedi-
ment, which falls in thin white film.
A thousand Of these are left to lie one
upon the other, then the whole is tax
en- out in the sun to dry, and thus it
becomes paper. The process is al
ways the same all aver China, but the
ingredients differ in almost every fac
tory. The common ingredients are
bamboo, cotton, the tow of silk, bark
and the leaves Of many plants, the
hair and even the intestines Of animals
If you take the inner piece Of brown
paper on the wrapping Of a pack of
hrecrackers and hold it to- the light
you will be able to see some of the in
gradients used in making paper.
Ut is an easy thing to distinguish the
hrecracker made in America from
those OF Chinese make In the first
place, the American crackers are new
er small. They are rarely smaller
than four and half inches in length
and have short cord fuees, while, on
The other hand, the Chinese kind haye
paper fuses, are braided into packs

ana have gilt labels. A f1rework arm

and have gilt labels. A firework arm
In Chicago once tried to make small
frecrackers by machinery, but after
several fruitless attempts gave 1t up
with loss of several thousand dol
lars. They could reproduce a pack Of
flrecrackers after the Chinese pattern
the only trouble being that they would
not explode. This is mainly because
no machine can be manufactured to
roll the irecrackcrs and take the place
OF the gentle pressure done with the
human hand. They Invariably roll
them too tight and thereby render
them useless.
The large American firecrackers al
ways have Il notice printed on their
sides, do rot hold in the hand after
lighting" Only en- American boy
would be guilty Of such a reckless
thing. In China as soon as child
lights q cracker he leaves it and does
not run, back to pick it up to see If the
fuse is burned out. But in America it
is not so. The glorious Fourth comes
