The coal miners strike seems
likely to continue for some time
longer. The recent conference of
operators in Pittsburg reached no
final agreement, and while the
operators are working for peace,
the miners are determined to
make no concessions. The men
in DeArmit's mines, however,
steadily refuse to strike, profess
ing themselves content with the
present schedule of wages. Even
the eloquent appeals of Eugene
V. Debs, who has seized the pres
ent opportunity to make himself
once more conspicuous, failed to
move these men. Lawlessness
has not been caused by the strike
in any large degree, though many
individual cases have been report
ed. In southern Illinois there
has been trouble. some of the Pol
ISL and Hungarians strikers hav-
ing seized freight trains, burned
a railroad trestle and intimida ted
men who wished to work. The
supply of coal is getting short.

ERRORS IN LIVING.
Mans Excessive Appetite and the Body's
Capacity For Food.

Capacity For Food.
To the lay mind nothing seems to au-
CUR so strongly in favor of robust health
as hearty appetite. Furthermore,
there would seem 10 be strong con-
viction in the public mind, sanctified
by tradition from time almost imme-
morial that the more a man eats the
better he is. The quantity of food that
many people naturally eat is very large
as compared with their actual physi-
illogical requirements. Add to this the
many tempting forms in which food is
presented to the palate by our modern
culinary arts, the sharpening of the APP
petite by the anteprandial cocktail, the
stimulus afforded the appetite by bot
tie of good wine, and the result is often
the consumption of an amount of food
that simply overwhelms the assimila-
tive organs. Such indulgence, if unre-
stricted and habitual, taxes both the as
similative and the excretory organs to
their highest capacity, especially when
coupled with sedentary life, and, more
over, it lends an additional impetus to
the evils springing from the use of inn
proper quality of food.
The human celebrating and excretory
mechanism was evidently adjusted for
ordinary wear and tear to an average
limited period of about 20 years I'M
der 40 per cent of extra work we must
naturally expect impairment or break
down Of the mechanism much earlier.
1t should therefore excite no special
surprise that so large proportion of our

have attained the natural age of 70 or
over. Paradoxical though it may seem,
such people usually spring from excep.
tionally healthy stock and often point
with pride to the fact that their imme-
date ancestors lived to advanced ages
of 80 years or more. This paradox, how
ever, is more apparent than real, for in
vestigation will usually reveal the fact
that for the most part the parents in
such cases were people of more simple
habits, such as correspondent with New
England life 10 or 100 years ago.
The truth is that the well to do man
Of today lives in faster age than that

SERPENT POISON.
The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly Al
most Beyond Belief.

The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly Al
most Beyond Belief.
1t was in the autumn Of 1891 that
Calmette, while acting as director Of
the meteorological institute of Saigon,
Cochin China, first commenced his ex-
periments OH the naturalization OF SER
pent venom in the animal system. He
had exceptional opportunities in the
matter of serpent venom wherewith to
carry out his Investigations, inasmuch
as band of cobras had recently attacked
a village in the vicinity Of Bac-Lieu,
and by order of the governor of the dis
trict no fewer than 80 specimens of the
terrible Naja tripudians, or cobra de ca
pello, were forwarded in barrel to the
institute.
Forty of these reptiles arrived alive,
and several were at once sacrificed to
secure their venom glands. Each gland,
resembling both in size and shape q
shelled almond, contains about 30 drops
of venom, and in this transparent limp
id LIQUID is embodied q toxine of extraor-
binary strength. As is well known, this
cobra is the most dreaded of all serpents,
and it is widely distributed over India,
Burma, Sumatra, Java, Malacca and
Cochin China. Until Calmette, however,
set to work to systematically study the
nature of this reptiles venom, but little
precise or reliable information had been
obtained as to its character. 1t was, OF
course, necessary in the first instance to
ascertain, within as narrow limit as
possible, the exact degree Of toxic power
inherent in the venom, and to deter
mine, if possible, the precise dose lethal
in respect Of each variety Of animal ex-
perimented upon.
A correct calculation Of the quantity
of venom required in every case was,
however. found to be quite impossible,
for so virulent is the poison that sim
gle drop of an emulsion produced by
pounding up 8 glands in 800 grams
of distilled water is sufficient, when in
troduced into the vein of rabbits ear,
to kill it in five minutes All the mann
mails to which Calmette administered
this cobra venom, such as monkeys,
dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, sue
cumbed more or less quickly, according
TO the size of the dose. -Longman' g

TIE SACRIFICE.
1t Made Mamma Sad, but the Baby Gloated
and Was Glad.


and Was Glad.
She was q sweet little woman, with
big brown eyes and pretty air Of de-
termination and hardly summoned for
titude, as she led 4.year-old boy into
an up town barber shop. She took off
his hat and dallied lovingly for mo-
ment with his long yellow curls. Then
she spoke to the man in the first chair,
but her voice faltered and fell, and no
one else could hear what she said.
In minute the little chap was perched
atop of hassock placed in the chair, a
big apron was around his neck, and the
barber with comb and shears in hand
was preparing to begin his work.
The little woman seated herself reso-
lutely with her face to the street and
pazed straight out at the stream OF
teams and bicycles that fills Woodward
avenue just before noon, but she didn't
seem to see anything of the long process
sion.
"Snip, snip, SNIP" went the shears,
and still she looked straight ahead be-
fore her. Then her head began to turn
slowly, but before the fatal chair came
in view she had recovered her nerve and
straightened herself with little shiver,
fixing her gaze once more on the oppo-
site side of the street.
But that couldn't last long. her
hands were beating nervously ON the
arms of the chair, and the toe OF
dainty boot made rat-a-tat-tat on the
thing. She shifted uneasily in her seat,
and pretty soon her head turned again,
very slowly this time, until she could
see the devastation the shears had
wrought.
One side of the little chaps head was
already shorn of its long locks, and the
unfeeling tonsorial artist held another
curl at full length. Snip" went the
shears. The little woman gasped, and
big tear rolled down her cheek. She
licked it off, but another followed IT,
She didn't look away again, but the
barbers task was nearly finished before
she trusted herself to speak.
Then she swallowed hard, tired 10
smile and said in strained, wabply
voice:

The Peacock mt Home.

The real home of the peacock or pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and their flesh is used for
food. As the birds live in the same re-
gion as the tiger, peacock hunting Is .
very dangerous sport. The long train OF
the peacock is not its tail, as many sup
pose, but is composed Of feathers which
grow out just above the tail and are
called the tail coverts. Peacocks have
been known for many hundred years.
They are mentioned in the Bible. Job
mentions them, and they are mentioned,
too, in / Kings K. Hundreds of years
ago in Rome many thousand peacocks
were killed for the great feasts which
the emperors made. The brains OF the
peacock were considered great treat.
and many had to be killed for single
feast. ST. Nicholas
