POISON ONB4NK NOTES.

A bank teller of Vienna recently
died from the effects of moistening
his fingers with saliva at the lips
when counting money. At the first
revision of the vaults it fell to his lot
TO count large number of small bills
and, although repeatedly warned, con
tinued mechanically to touch his lips
when his fingers became too dry
That evening he felt IL smarting pain
in his lips, but did not attend to it un
til swelling had set in the next day.
He then consulted ID surgeon, who i'll
sisted upon an immediate operation
on the tumor, that had in the mean
time assumed alarming proportions
as Indispensable A consultation of
eminent specialists declared his con-
dition critical, but decided upon the
operation as a possible chance. In
spite of the operation the patient died
three days after of blood poisoning.

THE DEATH OF A KING

Iobengula,. suffering from smallpox,
worn out oy his long fight, disappointed
in his hope of peace and altogether broken
down by the loss of his country, his power
and possessions came TO a hut at last
among the mountains north of the
Shanghai river.
Here he begged his witch doctor 20 give
him poison with which to end his life,
but the man refused. The despairng
chief went up the hill to the foot of the
crag which tops it, and sitting there. he
gazed for long time at the sun as it
slowly sank toward the West Then de-
scending, he again demanded poison OF
his doctor, and insisted, until finally it
was given him. Once more ascending
the slope, he seated himself against the
krantz, took the poison and gazed ct the
setting sun, stolidly awaiting death,
which presently put an end to his suffer-
ings and blood-stained life.
There is something pathetic and grand
in the picture. 1t is the last scene of the
great epic, the conquest OF: Matabelaland.
His followers found him seated there in
death and, piling stones and rocks about

NEW WAY TO CURE LEMONS


A reporter was shown some lemons in
the process OF curing at the warehouse of
Is. +. Devine, on Pachappa avenue.
Mr.. Devine has in the neghborhood of
2000 boxes of the fruit on hand, which
is in ali stages OF curing, ranging from
the green article which has been picked
only Il few days, to that which has reached
the stage of perfection almost ready for
the market. An inspection of the fruit
shows it to be all in prime condition, be-
ing of a fine color, firm, sound. etc. Mr.
Kinsell, Mr.. Devine's foreman has a
method of his own for curing the fruit
and, Judging from the specimen work he
can show, he evidently struck a0 good
method. Mr.. kinsell first carefully grades
and selects the lemons, after which they
are placed in large bins about three feet
deep, when the fruit is packed and COW
cred with almost green alfalfa. The alfalfa
sweats the lemons Just right and causes
them to take on a brilliant color, as well
rs causing the rind to become pliable.
When the firm gets ready to ship the
lemons now on hand and in process OF
curing, they will certainly have some as
fine lemons as were ever put up in th.
state.

CHAPTER Xxx
OF How Cortes Invited Back Those OF the
People of ChOula Who Had Fled, and
Appointed a New Cacque Over Them
and the Message Sent Us by MOntezuma

Cortes finally told Cristobal de Oil and
Pedro de ANarado to call before him all
the Tlascalan Captains, and when they
came he told them to gather all the peo-
pie and take them outside the city, so that
in short time none remained with US
but our allies of Cempoal.
AT this instant here came certain Ca
ciques and Papas of another district (the
city being very large and each district by
itself a distinct part of the city and said
that they had no part in the intended
treachery and asking for pardon, the real
traitors having paid the forfeit with their
lives; ana there came also the two Papas
who had discovered the plot to us and the
old woman who had spoken with Dona
Marina, and all begged Cortes to spare
the lives of those who remained, but
Cortes showed great anger and called the
ambassadors of Montezuma and said to
them that all of that city deserved to be
destroyed and the inhabitants ought to
pay for their treason with their lives,
but that ont OF respect for Montezuma
whose yassals they were, he would pardon
them Thereafter, however, they must
indulge in no more such plots that if
they did they would be punished with
death
He then ordered the Tlascaans to lib
crate their captives, and they did il with
a bad grace, saying that the evils they
had suffered, and much more. they de.
served for their many treasons
Cortes also ordered the Caciques and Pa
pas to call back all the Cholulans who had
fled, and the chief Cacique having been
killed, he named his brother to succeed
hlm, and thereafter the people of this city
never violated the peace they then made
with us.
The city OF Cholua was situated on A
plain, and around it there were MANY
large towns, such as Tepeaca, Tlascala.
ChaIco, Tecamcchalco, Guaxocingo and
many others. The surrounding country
was covered with fields of maize and ma
guey, and in fact all sorts of vegetables
peculiar to the country. In Choluia they
also made very fine pottery, beautifully
painted. The city OF Mexico and the sur
rounding towns RECEIVED most of their
pottery from this place,
The city had at this time over one hun
drcd high towers, which rose over their
cues or temples, and the chief Gu was
higher than that Of Mexico, and in it
there was great idol, whose name | do
mot now recol!cct, but it was OF great
'"te among the Aztecs, and they came
from all parc4 to offer it gifts.
When the squadrons OF Montezuma
learned what had occurred i'll the city
taty returned to Mexico and gave an ac-
cnunt OF it 10 Montehuma, who was very
w3athful and offered a sacrifice Of certain

young leader up to the authorities, he,
with a band of followers, escorted him to
q secure place in the mountain district
and patroled the hiding place for weeks
finally aiding him to leave the country.
| But there is one subject on which Marti
has always talked freely, and that is the
future of the Cuban republic. We desii e
first of ALL " said he, ito establish hb-
eral republic. founded in many respects
on the Constitution of the United States,
and taking several admirable features
from South American republics. or
course, we have in our midst elements of
varied governmental proclvities. The lib
eral Spaniards are our conservatives; the
native Cubans are our liberals and our
radicals, and the golden mean will be
found by which these elements, now for
the first time arrayed against the Spanish
monarchy. will coalesce quietly and salts
factorily in the formation OF the new re-
public"
Only once before in the history of Cuba
has the outlook for autonomy looked as
bright as it does today. That was when
all Cuba was ready to spring to arms az
the command of the liberator, Boil
var. Then the intervention OF the
United States prevented the consum-
nation of the project. but the en-
thusiasm of that early time has now
been famed into Il determined fervor that
today animates every patriot III central
and South America, for fully 6OO0 revolu-
tionary troops are massed in the eastern
end of the island about Guanatanamo un-
der the command of General q. Moncada.
In Santiago de Cuba another force is
gathering, and the main army will proba'
bly, land in the south and begin its opera
tions against Ybarra. Spain has sent adj
ditional troops to Cuba, and altogether the
Government forces will number 10000.

The king at last lay prone and dead.

The silent fates around him stopped
To deck with flowers their fallen child;
And where the powers of shore and wave
Together clashed in border wars.
