Anti-Toxine said Not to- he the Cause of

NEW YORK, April 2.-W. ii. Park, NJ. D.,
assistant director of the hospital of the

tests by injecting excessive doses into
guinea pigs and rabbits without produc'

whatever. Specimens from both vials
we're also submitted to meteorological

"These results, taken together with the
fact that the New York city board oi

Items from the correspondence of the
director of the Jardin dCs Plantes, carried
on with butcher during the time of the
siege of Paris, give interesting informa-
ton relative to the cost of meat in those
days On Oct. "a Deboos, the butcher,
bought from the director six jackasses,
three zcbras and one buffalo for 1850
francs, about $5O0--certainly cheap for
that time. y few days later he gave 200
francs for a young deer, $50 francs for Il
rooster and for 10 small chickens log
francs Twcnty-thrce small ducks went
for 10 francs and II geese and ii ducks
for 500 francs. On Nov. s two small bears
and two small black pigs We're sold for
l,2UO francs, one reindeer for 400 francs,
two pheasants for 60 francs, u Danube
goose for 35 francs, kangaroo for 100
francs, pig for 800 francs and two dead
phcasants for 30 francs On Nov. DGbOOS
had to give | ,O20 francs for three antelopes
and silver pheasant. Another antelope,
three geese and black swan went to the
butcher for 900 francs. On Nov. 20 two
deer were sold to Deboos for 2, 500 francs,
two other deer for 5000, bear for 800,
an African antelope for 600 and two fe

eve dromedary was sold for 2, $50 francs,
and on Dec. 80 he secured two elephants

CHAPTER ii.


The lawless mountaineers of the Cum
berland plateau during the war owed
their long immunity from punishment
to their vigilance and daring, but above
all to their thorough knowledge of the
country in which they operated The
gang under old Kit McGee and his son,
young Kit, was by no means the stron-
gost or most persistent that made these
hills pen Of slaughter for Union and
Confederate alike and place of refuge
for themselves, but have chosen it to
illustrate the courage of the scout, James
Collins, and to give good picture of a
series of situations dreamed of by none
of those who are best acquainted with
all the recorded features of the great
war.
The plan of James Collins, after
learning of the rendezvous and habits
of the MCGEE gang was to make his es-
cape to Cumberland gap, from which
point he would guide the force sent out
by General Burbridge to destroy these
lshmaelites. That he would have to join
the outlaws he believed, but he never
imagined that he would be called on at
once to prove his fidelity to his new as
sociates by making war on his old
friends.
AS the men under young Fit MCGEE
were halted waiting for further reports
of the detachment Of cavalry that went
up tho Sequatchie under Captain Brown,
scout came i'll from the direction of
Pikeville with the news that three Yam
kee wagons We're moving north with
only few guards to protect them. AS
plumber was the sole purpose Of this
raid, MCGEE sent two men off to watch
the wagons till nightfall and then come
back and report the whereabouts of their
camp.
About midnight the two men returned
al. 4.purted the three wagons in camp
about four miles away. The only guards
were sergeant and six men and o
wagon master, and these were SO secure
i'll their position and the belief that
there was no enemy within reach that
1t would be an easy matter to surprise
them.
EFF they show fight, we uns must
shoot them down at once Eff they give
plum in, ez they'll do eff they've got
SENSE, we uns'll tie 'em up and git back
with the plumber afoah they know hit.
Now, boys, be ez silent ez eff you uns
was all dumb and barefoot. "
This was young Kit McGee's advice
TO his men before they started off, and
they obeyed him as if they had been
regulars.
Through woods that were or seemed
to be trackless in the night, and along
lodges where even mule must have
lost his footing, MCGEE led his men till
at length they saw the dull, coppery
glow beneath them that marked the
camp of the wagons. The mountaineers
outnumbered the teamsters and guards
two to one, and in addition they had
the overwhelming advantage that al
ways lies with the party who knows the
enemy's strength and makes the attack
in tho nighttime.

a most curious experiment relative to
the strength and weight of the human
frame is that in which, it is claimed, a
heavy man is raised with the greatest IA
cility when he is lifted up the instant his
lungs and those Of the person who raise
him are inflated with air The heaviest
person of the party lies down upon table
at full length. Four persons, one ut each
leg and one at each shoulder, then try TO
raise him, and they find his dead weight to
be very great from the difficulty they ex-
perience in supporting him. When he is
replaced on the table, each of the four
persons takes hold of the body as before,
and the person to be lifted gives two sig
nails by clapping his hands. At the first
signal he himself and the four lifters be-
gin 10 draw long and full breath, and
when the inhalation is completed or the
lungs are filled the second signal is given
for raising the person from the table. TIC
his own surprise and that of his bearers, he
rises almost as light as if he were a feather.

A Granite Dust Garden.

At California farmers institute the
question was asked, Docs pure granite
contain the necessary nutriments for vcge-
tationY' The sense of the meeting seemed
to favor a negative answer, but one mem
Der gave his experience on the other side
of the question. 1t was over 20 years ago,
among the Tuolumne mountain mines,
that he determined to see if the granite
rock ground up fine would sustain vegeta-
BILE life BY means of a stamp mill he sue
ceedcd in pulveri2ing Il quantity of solid
rock taken out of the heart of the granite
mountain. This fine dust he spread upon
a fiat rock, with no other soil near it, He
had about a square rod of this and heaped
to the depth Of foot or more. Then he
planted potatoes and Il few other vegeta-
bles. The little garden patch was watered
regularly with pure snow water.
In due time the experiment proved a de-
cided success. He raised an excellent crop
of potatoes and garden truck and was
| thereafter ready to answer the question
with an emphatic Yes"

LIE WEDDING RING.


The Gcmcl Ring of Oldcn Days, with Its
Poetic Sentiment and Dainty Fancies.
OF all ornaments whercwith human be-
inps are wont to adorn their persons none
4, of more ancient or universal use than the
ring. No other ornament has ever been
endowed with such intimate and sacred
meanings as finger rings, from the sig
net ring Of Solomon before which all the
diinns and afrccts Of the world of spirits
bowed in awcd humility and fear to the
golden CirClet which is placed ON the finger
of the bride ut the altar, from thc ring
given in pledge for kings ransom to the
ring of Queen Bess, which She sent too
late to save the life Of her favorite, Essex
Fable and history, sentiment and symbol
ism hover round these familiar little Oh.
jcCts.
The present condition of the wedding
ring and its plain unvarnishCd appearance
are modern conventions. In Oidcn days
the wedding ring was not only adorned
with gems, but was also worn on the
thumb, a practice alluded to by Butler in
"Hudibras' and -outhcrnc in The Maid 5
Last Prayer 1T is "A great pity that the
really appropriate wedding rings, the
gcmcl rings, are not revived.
The gcmol ring is horizontally split in
| such a way that the ring, when off the
| finger, falls apart into two links, which
/ pass through each other. On the inner
side Of one half is engraved the name o
the bride, or the other half that of the
/ bridegroom, and the date of the wedding
/ is added On the outside when the two
/ halves are joined together may be en-
gravcd motto at will.
\ claspcd pair Of hands or interlaccd
/ hearts were often used on these gcmc
/ rings the design being constructed only tC
be perfect when the ring was in place on
the finger. What lover worthy Of Tho
name but would enjoy devising the ring
that is to be the pledge of his life's love
Perhaps he elects that the gemel shall h,
finished with the claspcd hands that sig
nifty lifelong friendship and mutual conf
dcnco as well as love. Or perhaps he ma.
incline to two hcarts-one of fiery ruby
IMPLYING his ardent passion; the other o
brilliant diamond the symbol of the pur
ity of his spouse; or peradvcnturc his lean
ing is to faiuhfulncss, and the steady blu
of the sapphire will crown the gcmel; or
more modest still, he confines himself T.
hope and an emerald will bring with i
suggestions of vcrdant and idyllic joys
That after weeks Of courtship and prep
aration nothing better than golden cdi
ton of curtain ring should be evolved b.
human Imagination to do honor to SO grea
an occasion is u saddening thought.
