LAST week we spoke OF the CONNER.
cial Convention, which is to meet in
Louisville May IL and IL. Too much
importance cannot be attached to this
meeting by the people of Kentucky in
our opinion. 1t has in view means TO be

the resources Of our State. 1t seeks to
bring together from the towns and coun-
ties of the State representative business
men, who will lend their aid and expe-
rience in suggesting plaI to increase our
business. II this was a call for polite
al convention there would doubtless be
a crowd. But politics is not to be known
in it. There is no reason though that
We shouldn't We some OF our time and
money to me-tiug OF this character.
The people of our State have already
fooled away too much of their time in
politics. While they have been doing
this other states arc uud US have out

In London is strange establishment, behind wilderness of warehouses and tumble down tenements, in a remote suburb. Its massive gates are locked and jealously guarded. A visitor must not only be careful where he steps and refrain from touching, be must also breathe with great caution. One of the terrible poisons manufactured here is pure anhydrou acid, drug seldom seen outside chsmical laboratory. This is the deadliest of all known poisons. The discoverer was stricken dead from iuhsl. ing it's fumes. From to 5 per cent of this chemical added to 95 or 97 parts of water makes prussia acid. This diluted poison causes instant death, even when taken in minute quantities.
 Next to anhydrous acid, the worst poison they make is cyanide of potassium. Last year they turned out over l 900 tons of it. Five grains being fatal dose, the annual output would be sufficient to kill 2 500, 900 people. In the workroom, where men are gathered around witch's caldron containing over hundred weight of molten cyanide, strange picture is presented, The seething mass of white hot liquid poison with the lsmbent play of the furnace 6res, the phantom faces of the working men, enveloped in an m. canny looking glass mask, peering into the heart of the dreadful mixture through the thick atmosphere, is a terrible sight. In another room, where are tons of the furnished product. looking like crystal. ized sugar, "good enough to eat," one man is never allowed alone. For some inexplcable reason 1t exercises strange fascination for the men who inhale it's fumes. They are haunted by desiie to eat II. Bu: knowing that satisfying the craving means instant death, most but mol all are able to resist it. Aside from this fascination it's manufacture is not considered unhealthy. The same cannot be said of corrosive sublimate Its fumes are deadly Cyanide Manufacture.

 It does not appear to be generally known that in case of sting by wasp, if that wasp or any other wasp be at once caught, the sting cut of, and the body of the wasp crushed and rubbed over the place stuns, it affords not only instantaneous relief and freedom from pam but any swelling is at once reduced. With bees, as they always leave their sting in the wound. it is necessary to do nothing more than crush and rub the bee on the wound. This is certain remedy in every case.

H P.

The wagon was very dilapidated and no white man would think of travelling around the country in 1t. No silver knives, forks or spoons were found Mir. Ewing also says that the Indians at Hackberr are well be- haved and that none of them are saucy or insolent, but in this part of the report there is contradiction by residents of Blackberry. Hackb berry Indians have al ways been saucy and insolant and we do not believe that they have improved in this expect ID recent years. We are glad to know that no white men were murdered, but still believe these Indians capable of any crime.
