POISONING COYOTES.

Aotho1D Of UotnG Sfryoh01no % VIA AAs
insls In the West
A Nr 1steiy introduced In the Col
orado legislature provides for the pur-
chase of strychnine by county commis-
sioners for the destruction OF wolves
and coyotes, which are becoming quite
desperate ali over the state and are
multiplying in spite Of bounty laws,
saya the Denver Field and Farm. One
way. to put out poison is to take . fresh
dead COW or horse, remove the hide, cut
the animal open, cash the outside with
q knife and put strychnine in the in
cision and on the entrails- The crys-
tails of strychnine will soon dissolve
and penetrate the flesh. Carcasses thus
prepared are often frozen before the
wolves find them. But the wolves eat
of the frozen blood from the thorax
and die within an hour after eating.
The action Of the poison in warm
weather is much quicker. Occasion
ally poison is unsuceessfully used, but
the hunter is almost sure OF some
pelts, and is sometimes richly reward
ed. From fifty to seventy-fve wolves
have been killed in one night from the
poisoning of one carcass. This was in
Middle Park, where the wolves are very
plentiful.
poison one dead COW Or horse, and from
one-tourth to one-third of bottle for .
sheep; small animals or birds require .
less proportionate amount. All the
carnivorous animals may be destroyed
by strychnine. The larger ones may
be poisoned by putting few crystals
in small balls of butter or lard. When
the animal is frozen so that it will not
aborb poison scatter the balls round
about. Small animals can be killed by
poisoning scraps of meat, or small birds,
mice or fishes. The red fox can be
easily poisoned where it could not be
trapped. Stryrhnine must be handled
with great care. It should be used
moderately in small bats and placed
where dogs and cats are not likely to
find it.
Poisoned animals may be kept for
months, if necessary, and il promptly
removed when thawed the skins will
be good. A hole bored in log or
block OF wood and filed with lard
mixed with strychnine is very ehectual
when weather is not freezing. The
animals lick it out so slowly that they
die before they get away. The APP
proved method used here in Colorado is
to place small quantities Of crystallized
strychnine in druggists capsules and
insert one of these in bait of meat
about the size Of hens egg. Hang up
calf's head or some fresh meat in .
tree or on fence so high that wolves
cannot reach 1T. Then scatter the bait
around the spot every few feet. The
fresh meat in the tree attracts the ami
mails. and skey readily pick up the bait
son the ground. A. drachm bottle OF
strychninc costs thirty-dve cents and
contains forty or fifty doses Of poison.
The capsule method is recommended -
best of all.

MASSAGE FOR BLACK EYES.

Better Than Paint and BeefsteAk for OBJ
ltersting Evidence Of Fistic Encounter.
Those who make business Of oblit-
Grating evidence of fistic encounters in
the shape of black eyes by painting the
damaged optics no longer enjoy mon
opoly of such business. This was
told by pugilistic acquaintance whose
experience entities him to be regarded

raw beefsteak all hollow. But it should
be applied Immediately after the in
iurv is received in order to prove
thoroughly efRcacious. It does not re-
ouire an expert to do it. All that Il
necessary is to move the fingers rapidly
and firmly over the bruised surface,
and to keep it up until the last vestige
of discoloration has disappeared. The
explanation is easy. Where the blow
has been received the blood becomes
conrested. It IL the clots OF blood
showing through the transparent skin
that produces tho black effect. The
pressure OF the fingers gradually
loosens the clotted blood, which passes
off into the general current OF circula-
ton, and fresh and properly colored
blood takes its place"

BEFORE MATCHES CAME.

BEFORE MATCHES CAME.
Th6 Flint ana Steel and Rush Lights and
Tallow dips Of Our Ancestors.
To the present generation it may
seem next door to incredible that in the
first years of the reign of William ~.
there were no lucifer matches In lieu
thereof there were only long matches
or splints of wood tipped at each end
with melted sulphur, and, before the
complicated system of dipping the sui
phuretted match in concentrated sui-
phuric acid came into use, these matches
were kindled by first striking q light
with flint and steel and then causing
the spark to ignite small quantity OF
tinder-an inflammable substance. usu-
ally composed Of partially burned linen.
This simple adjunct to the process OF
obtaining light had been in use all
over the world from time immemorial.
says the London Daily Telegraph. The
French tinder was called s'amadOu,"
word the etymology of which has been
fiercely contested, some philologers de-
irving it from the old French adjective
s'amadou," equivalent to amorous, and
conveying the moral idea of the swectly
agreeable sensation of the hand
coming in contact with very soft
substance, while others trace it to
the Latin ''ad manum dulce." The
French tinder was often made of the
spongy portions of mushrooms and
other fungi, and prior to the introduc-
ton of lucifer matches the manufac-
ture of amadou was one OF cOnsidera-
BILE Importance. The cryptogamic
substance was beaten on block some
what after the manner of felt until 1t
became homogeneous, and it was then
impregnated with solution OF salts OF
inter or simply pulverized gunpowder.
The Germans still fabricate delicate
kind Of amadou which is used in sur
gerry for stanching hemorrhage. AS for
flint and steel they have as completely
faded out from our domestic economy
as they have from firearms, and the
tinder-box is SO rarely seen that it might
well be included in an exhibition of old
social curios.
With tinder and tinder boxes has also
vanished the rushlight which, when
William Cobbett was boy, English
cottagers used to make for themselves
by gathering rushes and dipping them
successfully in melted tallow until suf-;
ficient thickness of adipose matter was
obtained. In houses where refinement
was supposed to prevail the rushlight
was placed in japanned tin shade per-
forated with circular orifices, and the
insomnolent invalid had the pleasure
of contemplating q large number
OF round spots Of light on the
ceiling, reflected from the rush
light screen. "Dips," another form
of tallow candle, much given to sputter-
ing, which smelt abominably, have also
died the death; and ''mo.d candles, !"
which strove to emulate wax ones in
their form. but hardly succeeded in do-
ing 50, have been superseded by cheap
er candles, almost as shapely and as
light-giving rs the old and costly sper-
maceti. Seventy years ago gas was lit
tie used; there were no railroads, few
steamboats, and no lucifer matches; yet,
rs Walter Besant might put it, the
world went very well then.

GENERAL CUrS ELL.
William Cogswell, son of George and
Abigail (Parker) Cogswell, was born in
Bradford, Essex county, Mass, Aug %,
1888
He was educated in the schools of Brad
ford, Atkinson academy, New Hampshire;
Kimball Union academy, Meriden, N. H.;
Phillips academy, Andover, Mass, and
Dartmouth college. He did not finish his
course at Dartmouth, but went to sea, be-
fore the mast, sailing around the world.
On his return, he entered the Dean law
school, Harvard university, from which he
was graduated in 1860.
Mr.. Cogswell was first married in
Haverhill, June 20, 1856, to Emma Thorn
dixie, by whom he had three children. Mrs.
Cogswell died April /, 1877. Mr.. Cogs-
well was married again in Salem, Dec. IL,
1881, to Eva Maria, daughter of Horatio
Gates and Lydia (Carter) Davis
His military record from April, 1851, to
July 25, 1865, is one unbroken series of
earned promotion.
He rose from captain to brevet brigadier
general, United States volunteers. He
had two years of service in the Army of
the Potomac and two more in the western
army under Generals Thomas and Sher-
man.
He was mayor of Salem 1867, '6S and so
and 1S73 IA; member of the house of rep
resentatives, 1870, II, 81, 'S2 and 'S3, and
of the state senate, 1885, 's6; was depart
ment commander of Massachusetts, Grand
Army 1870.
General Cogswell was elected in 1886 to
the Fiftieth congress and reelected to the
Fifty-frst congress in 1888 and to the
F1fty-second congress in 1890, where he
has performed conspicuous service to his
state

The fire swept along the following course,
after leaving Fonda S lumber yard: North
erly, along Catherine street. after igniting
many wooden buildings nearby, then
sweeping Kingman street. Centre and
Hoyt streets were next visited by the
hungry element. Main street, from Hoyt

to c. H. Harvey's ON the other, was laid in
ashes.
Fully 30 families are homeless, the
wooden tenements having been swept like

smoldering embers. No serious accidents
are reported.
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1895-05-24

Inasmuch as one of these dissenting
opinions was handed down by Justice
Jackson, and as he was absent at the frs
hearing, when the court divided evenly OF
| the question of sustaining the law on al
| points except those as to the tax on rents
and bonds, it follows that one OF the mem
bers of the court who at first pronounced
for the law, except on those two points
changed his attitude after the second argu-
ment.
The opinion of the court and the po-
sition of each of the members had been so
accurately forecasted that no surprise was
expressed in any quarter at the announce
ments made.
1t should probably be stated that while
the cases in which these opinions were de-
Gvered are uniformally characterized as
the income tax cases, they are known on
the court dockets a. the cases of Charles
Pollock VS.. the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, and Lewis H. Hyde VS.. the Con-
tinental Trust company of New York,
both appealed from the circuit court of
the United States for the southern dis
trict of New York
The Stumbling Blocks.
The unconstitutionality Of the law was
asserted upon several grounds. First-In
that it imposes a direct tax with respect of
real estate rents, issues and profits, as well
as of income and profits of personal prop
erty, which, not being apportioned, is in
violation of section 2, article |, of the con-
stitution. Second-In that its provisions
are not uniform throughout the United
States, and provides for exemptions and
inequalities in violation of section 8, article
TO- Third-In that it makes no exemption
OF the tax upon income derived from the
stocks and bonds of states, counties and
municipalities, which amounts to $50, ,OOO,-
OOO annually, and which is, not proper
subject for the taxing power of congress-
Unsatisfactory Revenues.

enues of the government, 1t is not thought
that 1t Will necessitate an extra session of

ungency arises to make it advisable 1t
Is known that the administration does
not regard an extra session as necessary, |
although the revenues during the last few |
months have not been at all satisfactory.
The customs receipts, particularly, are |
low. During last January |
the receipts were only $17, ,301, ,91e, and dur |

there has been slight increase in the re-
