School Principals to Be Instructed
in Their Attitude to Pupils,
Teachers and Officials.

ALAMEDA, CAL, July ga. E. Nc
Enerney complained to the police this
morning that some malicious persons had
tried to poison him.
His story is that the poison was placed
in his milk. He left the can out on the
gate-post and about 8 O'Clock this morn
ing he brought it into the house. my
wife made tea for our breakfast and we
used some of the milk in it. We had
hardly more than drank it down when
first my wife and then | was taken vio-
lently sick and began to vomit. ] knew
something was wrong and we each took
an emetic to get the poison out of our
stomachs. We could not imagine what
had caused it. Ny wife suggested that
perhaps something had been placed in the
milk. so gave some to our cat and in a
few minutes she died. / know there was
poison in the can, but don't know what
kind it was nor who could have put it
there
The police have decided TO wait for fur
ther developments and the cat is put in
evidence.

The gold-producing quartz, Mr.. Edlund
says, is twevcfoot vein following this
iissure. A shaft has been sunk to depth
of 13j feet, ut which depth the pay streak
has increased to five and one-half inches
in breadth. The issure is filled with blu
ish clay which is easily pulverized be-
tween the fingers when dry and which
sparkles with tiny bits of yellow dust
which have been washed into it from the
adjacent rock.
AT the depth of 1875 feet the projectors
began tunneling in n southwestern direc-
ton following the iissure, which seems
to run parallel with the river. The rock
was hoistcd to the surface dumped on II

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS,
RUST ON A PIANO.

The appearance of rust on the tun-
ing-pins and the steel wires of piano
is u sure indication that the piano has
been exposed to moisture or damp
ness. The time of year or the age or
quality of the piano has nothing to do
with it, as rust may appear in a night.
The fact that the room is heated by d
stove just outside of 1t will probably
account for the rust, as the chances
are that after the usual cooling of
fire over night its heating in the
morning would be likely to cause
condensation on the metal, and rust
would Immediately appear. Dc not
use oil or any greasy substance to re-
move it. 1t will probably not do any
harm unless it causes the strings to
break, in which case they will have to
bereplaced. Most pianos require tun-
ing twice year. The only important
care to be given a piano is to keep it

Says New York Truth: For a nun.
Der of years the word "freproof," as
applied TO the monuments of iron and
mortar that decorate all the principal
thoroughfares, has conveyed such an
idea of security as has insured for
their owners steady tenants at fancy
rentals. But severe blow has re-.
Gently been dealt to the power of this
popular catch-word, and the ensuing
revulsion of feeling seriously threat
ems to handicap the profits of such
structures. The owner of each asserts
aB positively Us ever that his building
is absolutely fireproof, but the faith
of his tenants has flown and, until he
can succeed in coming some new
phrase to win back their wayering con-
fidence, he will find it difficult to
combat the growing distrust. Of
course no one doubts the sincerity of
the owners protestations, nor his firm
belief in the incombustibility of his
sky-scraping structure, and this being
so solidly planted on the shining pedes-
tai OF his personal trust, it only
needs little invention on his part to
effect the much desired return of pub.
lie confidence. Let the owners Join
in forming a mutual guarantee asso-
citation that will not only insure the
tenants personal effects, but will pro-
vide each tenant with an accident pol.
icy covering all casualties transpiring
on the premises. As the buildings
are so absolutely free from danger the
risk thus assumed by the association
will, of course, be merely bagatelle.
But it would be necessary to advertise
that the policies would be inscribe
in aluminium ink on asbestos paper.
and that each document would be pro.
vided with mica lined vault sus-
pended from platinum parachute to
insure it's preservation, before the
public would take kindly to the
scheme. As a matter OF fact the only
really freproof dwellings yet devised
were those occupied by the troglo.
dytss Of long ago.
