Poisonous Perspiration.

The question of the toxic qualities OF
perspiration, though not quite new
one Gnasmuch as M. BerthelOt at re-
cent meeting of the Paris Medical
Academy reminded his listeners that,
If Africanus can be believed, the perspi-
ration gathered from horse was used
in ancient times to- render arrows poi
sonous), has recently formed the sub
ject of research.
Several experiments have proved that
human perspiration is toxic. A series Of
guinea pigs and rabbits were killed by
NEGOTIATIONS of perspiration gathered
from a flannel shirt worn by a healthy
young man after dancing a cotillon.
A glove worn by lady who danced
vigorously through a ball was utilized
for NEGOTIATIONS with equally deadly re-
suits. NJ. Arlong's more recent expert
ments show that perspiration resulting
from muscular exertion is more toxic
than that consequent from a vapor
bath.-British Medical Journal.

BATHING in England.

The London Telegraph describes a
fashionable watering place in England,
where the bathing beach is half girdled
by the blue waters of four bays, each
in close proximity, and overlooked by
the houses and terraces above. It is

Of respectable people, who go in bath
ing in the most delightful fashion and
abandon, without fear and without re-
rroach. There are no lighthouses, no
tents, no costumes, no indecency, no
bushes, no prudes, no opera glasses,
hundreds of women on the beach,
dozens already in the water, and no
piles Of sand-soiled clothing.

women here and there, standing close

She Sold 5000 Stories.

The death Of Mary Kyle Dallas, OF
New York, was a shock and sorrow
to host Of friends and admirers. For
many years she was contributor to
the New York Ledger, at a large salary,
and also wrote short stories for Lipp1n-
colt. Latterly her work has been seen
in the daily papers, and her essays on
women for the American Press AssOcta-
ton commanded wide attention.
Mrs. Dallas was member Of Sorosis,
the first vice president Of the Woman's
Press Club and a prominent member
of the Hidden Hand Club, whose pur-
pose is to expose the fake advertise
ments, which prove snare and delu'
sion to unsuspecting women. Mrs
Dallas was tall, with beautiful aris-
tocratic face and stately bearing, while
her manner was so gracious and her
acts so kindly that she endeared herself
to ali who knew her.
She was so years Of age, and began
to write at the age Of 8, when she com
posed a play that was produced in he1
fathers kitchen. In 1888 she estimated
that she had written and sold at least
5000 stories and as many sketches

The Art of Eating.

l cannot dismiss the subject of break
fasts, luncheons, dinners and suppers
without few hints on the necessity Of
teaching children daintiness in table
manners, says a writer in American
Women. The young person is to be
sincerely pitied who has had no care
full mother, nurse or governess to at
tend to this in childhOod-that golden
time when learning is SO easy, After a
rugged backwoodsman has hewn his
way to high place in the councils Of
the country, or, perhaps, saved it in
hour Of peril, one may well forgive him
if he forgets the right way to shake
hands or doff his hat or enter draw
ing-room. Buteven he will be unforgiv-
en- if his table manners are untidy or Of
fensiye. Just here the most amiable Of
men, Thackeray, drew sharp line.
"Oh," he signs, eff only the dear Amer
lean girls would not strip the corn with
their white teeth!' And, again: "How
could breakfast with five women eat
ing with their knives? 1 could have
stood one-but five, all at once

Railroads and Country Roads.


The building of good country roads is
a matter of more Importance than the
building Of more railroads. In fact,
the railroads themselves have made
better country roads an absolute ne
cessity, for the two systems depend on
each other. The complete development
Of one involves the completer develop
ment of the other. 1t is to be presumed
that the public understands this in a
vague and indefnable way. The ques-
ton, therefore, for the public to con-
slider is not the necessity but the profit
ableness of good country roads. Will
it pay to begin and carry on to compile
ton the work of permanent improve
ment? This was the question asked
when the people were asked to contrib
ute to the local railway enterprise, and
it is eminently a fair one. With respect
to good country roads this inquiry may
be partly answered by an appeal to the
common sense of those who are inter-
ested. Will it pay the farmer to be
able to do the work Of two and three
horses with one? Will it pay him to be
able in one day with two horses to do
the work that formerly required four
horses and two days to do?-Atlanta
Constitution.

EARLY in the present century Jona-
than Bradford, an innkeeper at Ok
fordshire, England, was executed for
the alleged murder Of guest named
Hayes. Soon after his a%ival at
the hotel Hayes had spoken public
ly of the fact that he had money with
him. Some hours after he retired, two
guests in the next bedchamber heard
groans and arose and went into Hayes
bedchamber, where they saw him vel
tering in blood and dying in his bed,
while over him stood Bradford, holding
dark lantern in one hand and a
bloody knife in the other.
Bradford exhibited the greatest ter
ror lima ginable at being caught in this
situation, but denied any guilt. He
said he also had been awakened by
rescue and taken his knife along for
protection, and that he was SO hor-
ror-stricken when he turned down the
covers that he let the knife drop on
the bleeding man and in picking it up
had got blood on his sleeves as we'll as
on the knife. But no one believed this
story.
Eighteen months after Bradford was
executed Hayes footman fell i'll and
died, and just before he died he con-
fessed that he was the murderer. He
had occupied a room in the inn near
to Hayes and had barely left his vic
tim before Bradford rushed In. He
also produced the watch, snuff box and
other property of Hayes, which he had
taken after killing him.
The strangest part Of this story is
that after the footman died a minister
made public the confidential statement
made to him by the condemned pris-
oner. Bradford confessed that he had
gone to Hayes room for the purpose
of killing him for his money and was
so Mortified to find him already MUIR
dered that he dropped his knife.

With each new steamship arrival at
Seattle and Tacoma from Alaska come
increasingly pitiful stories Of suffering,
Of restitution and Of despair from the
army Of stormbound gold hunters scat
tered along the Skaguay and Dyea
trails. The Klondyke is fast sealed by
winter s-pitiIess hand. : It is an Edo
RADIO that will defy the utmost Of hui
man ingenuity and endurance until the
magic touch Of spring shall again I'M
fold it's treasure to the gaze Of the dar-
ing. Were this ala mere postpone
ment of success and failure for those
who have dreamed Of Aladdin's lamp
the situation would be commonplace.
But it is no mere romance that haunts
the ice-clad passes to the golden fields.
It is tragedy, Of which but the opening
scenes have as yet been enacted, prom
Using q climax from which imagination
turns with a shudder. 1t was all pre-
dicted. The tragedy was foreseen, and
the victims Of to-day were warned In
time. But, like the youth who bore,
mid snow and ice, the banner with the
strange device, they have pressed on
deaf to all but the haunting invitation
Of promised wealth. Others, perhaps
will heed the lesson-but not before the
Skaguay and Dyea trails have earned
the title of the Graveyard Of the Klon'
dyke

AN ORGAN THAT COST $50, 900.
Mr.. Sear1es, Who Married Mrs. Mark
Hopkins, Bought 1t.

Mr.. Sear1es, Who Married Mrs. Mark
Hopkins, Bought 1t.
e. r. Searles, the millionaire, who
now lives at Methuen, Mass, is de-
voted to organ music, and has just
bought what is believed to be the great
est organ In America. Mr.. Searles mar
ried the immensely wealthy widow Of
Mark Hopkins, of California.
The organ belonged to the Boston
Music Hall, and originally cost 100000.
The price Mr.. Searles paid for it was
$500. He will erect a building es-
pecially for 1t at Methuen.
The great organ was built many
years ago by popular subscription. Us
specifications were as follows: L,
manual great, 25 stops, 1880 pipes; 2,
manual (swelD, - stops, 1,172 pipes;
8, manual Choir, Is stops, 928 pipes; 4,
manual (solo), II stops, 754 pipes; ped
al, 20 stops, 600 pipes; total, SO stops,
5,474 pipes.
1t stood seventy feet high, was for
ty-seven feet wide, eighteen feet deep,
and weighed seventy tons. Two great
central towers stood forward fifteen
feet, and were composed of several
great thirty-twofoot pipes of tin. The
woodwork is all Of black walnut, richly
carved. The pipes, including the me-
chanical accessories, numbered $500.
The organ was placed in Music Hall in
1863.
The order for building the colossal
instrument was placed in 1853 with the
firm Of Walcker, at Ludwigsburg, In
Germany. It's purchase and compile
ton were matters in which the pride
Of all music-loving Boston was conferred
for years. The sum which it was or
iginally proposed to spend was $4,000.
The directors of the Music Hall apprO-
priated $4,000, and the rest was raised
by popular subscription. In spite Of
the war the work went on steadily and
the organ came over in specially char
tered ship, which succeeded in lodging
the Confederate privateers. Before it
was finally put together it cost over
100000. The first public recital given
on it was a popular event of the first
magnitude, and for years the organ
was one Of the wonders of Boston.
No man in the world probably pos
sesses greater organ for his personal
enjoyment than Mr.. Searles. He has
attained the height of his ambition.

Moslems shun Water.

At the hour Of II, noon, the Moham-
medans can be seen in large numbers
at the Begoda dyamda or mosque in
Sarajevo, in Bosnia, says the Chicago
Record, all sizes, ages and conditions,
mingling freely. All go to one side OF
the inclosing wall, take off their san
dals and wash their hands and feet,
the majority Wiping them off on their
voluminous trousers, others simply
permitting the air to dry them. 1t
must be understood, however, that the
washing of hands and feet in no sense
implies cleanliness. AS for the rest Of
the body, well, Mohammed never said
anything about washing or cleaning
that, and so what's the use? There is
one feature about this uncleanliness
that Is particularly disagreeable. Their
law forbids the killing of any living
being except for food, and this, OF
course applies to the case Of insects.
After the ablution has been performed
they again step into the opanken and
go up the steps to the house of prayer,
leaving their footwear on the platform.
and going barefooted upon the prayer
rug or carpet, as the case may be.
They kneel on both knees, lower their
heads twenty or thirty times to the
floor and offer their prayer to Allah.
In about fifteen minutes all is conclud-
ed and they go to their places Of bust
ness again. This ceremony is gone
through with five times a day. Each
time the call is intoned from the top
Of the mosque, and sometimes in a
beautiful voice. The most impressive
Of all these calls, however, is that for
evening prayer, when, with each verse,
the singer, or mueZZin, as he Is called,
hangs a colored lamp out Of an arch
in his tower. The view of Sarajevo at
night, with sixteen lamps hung from
the steeple Of every dyam1a, is of sur
passing beauty. Sarajeyo also boasts
of a very luxurious Turkish bathhouse,
but this is patronfzed almost exclusive
lye by the Europeans and the better
class of Mohammedans.

How One Physician vaccinates.

DR.. John B. Read, an old practition-
er of fifty years experience, and coun-
ty health officer at Tuscaloosa, Ala,
has made public his formula for vdcci-
nation, which, he says, he has never
known to fail. The process is simple.
Take q fine needle and thread with
silk or cotton thread, and moisten about
one-fourth of an inch Of the thread
with vaccine matter or virus; then
draw the needle through the skin until
that portion of the thread containing
the virus is passed under the skin; then
snip both ends of the thread, leaving
the portion with the virus under the
skin. Dr. Read says the idea origi-
mated with him in his early practice
and has never been made public be-
fore.-Nashville Banner.

One i'm a Hundred Million.

Travelling on American railways is
attended with little risk, according to
the tables compiled by the Railroad Ga
zette. One passenger was killed in
1896 for every hundred million miles
travelled, and but for two or three Sc
rious accidents the showing would have
been more favorable. The passenger
fatalities of 1896 were greatly in ex-
cess of those in 1895. Last year there
were one hundred and twenty eight
deaths, largely due to negligence in OPP
Grating, while in 1895 only thirty eight
lives Of passengers were lost. There
was an increase in the number Of IA
talities among employees. Three hun
dred and eighteen were killed in 1896
and three hundred and two in 1895, but
as the train mileage went up from
1884, 100000 to S4O,0OO,OOO in 1896 the
death rate was practically unchanged.
The tables prove that, Notwithstanding
the killing of passengers in carload
lots, it is safer to ride on trains than
to handle them.
