opplrIEs OF POISONING.


Much of Earthly Happiness Depends
Upon What We Eat.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
viduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity
while another is poisoned IL only In
INTACT ~ some ~ ,v..sss "a salSs
residing In malarial district will
suffer regularly with chills and fever.
while other members Will not be at
all affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons will not act SO on others.
One person may eat all kinds Of green
fruit and vegetables with impunity
while another person could do so only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds OF
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
1t is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and
should be prudently observed by each
one for himself. Intestinal derange-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food,
Thus a person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not eat very white
bread, since the extreme whiteness Is
often produced by the use OF alum
with an inferior article of flour, and as
alum is known to be poisonous in its
effects on sound constitution, this
is why alum baking powder is never
used by people of Judgment and dis
erection.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what We eat than many people
realize and it is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
passing pure-food laws.

Troubled by Turtles.

The water farms of McLennan
county are troubled with a plague
of turtles, which threatens to de-
populate them of fish. The turtles
are of the hardshell variety, and
have multiplied alarmingly to
such an extent that the fish cult
ur.sts are comforting with each
other as to means of driving out
the reptiles. The submerged
land has grown from two or three
small ponds to hundreds of acres,
and others have recently COM
menced building dams. The pop
ularity of the bass raised in arti-
fetal lakes is on the increase, and
the owners hate to see the yora-
cious turtles get away with the
fruit of their enterprise and
industry. Messrs. w. s..
Heard and 4. Faulkner coEstl uc-
ted lakes, stocked them
with fish, and the turtles are lit
orally swarming in the water of
the FallIner and Heard ponds,
devouring the bass greedily at an
awful rate. Fred Day, who owns
ponds with surface of over fifty
acres near Waco, is suffering
from the turtle plague, and is
preparing to kill them with an
electric battery. 1t has been as
certained that the turtles congre'
gate beneath the logs and brush,
and the plan is to prepare a place
for them to collect in by placing
logs and brush close to the shore
then send heavy shock into thu
head and gather up the turtle
from the surface before they hav'
time to recover.

rho national debt Of Spain Is eouIv-

The national debt Of Spain 10 equiv
alent to one-flfth of the whole wealth
of the kingdom, or ninety-fonr dollars
per capita. The annual interest is six
dollars per capita. The debt of the
United States is less than one-one-
hundred and-fftieth OF our wealth,
and the interest is but fifty-three
cents to each of our population. Our
total valuation in 1890 was one thou

theirs only four hundred and sixty

OIL MIL Machinery.

Taylor, Texas, October 3t.-The Tay-
lor oil mill has finished the erection of
its buildings, has its chimney In place
and will begin in a few days regular
operations, with force of fifty to
seventy-fiye hands. A number of fam
lilies have moved to Taylor on account
of this enterprise. and it will in sew
eral ways be a great advantage to the
city. Farmers are receiving 81 per
ton more for cotton seed than was paid
previous to its location here, and its
weekly payroll will be Of advantage TO
retail dealers. The securing of the oil
mills was largely due to the efforts of
the Taylor board Of trade, and that or
ganization is now at work endeayor-
ing to secure grain warehouse an

The injustice in the Dreyfus case
suggests to somebody that of English
law in the case of Mrs. Maybrlck; but
we must remember that the Judge
through whose action Mrs. Maybrick
was convicted very considerably went
crazy and afterward died. Perhaps,
however, the enemies of Dreyfus are
approaching that contamination as
fast as they reasonably can.

A man of sound judgment is not di-
verted from the truth by the strength
of immediate impression. He decides
with unbiased impartlality, never
suffering any passion to interfere with
the love Of truth. He does not form
hasty opinion. He is not tenacious
in retaining an opinion when formed;
"he is never ashamed of being wiser
today than he was yesterday" he
never wanders from the substance Of
the matter in judgment, into useless
subtlety and refinement.

For the beleft of competitors
MI. Mo<Con gave out for publ
cation an article on the duties of
a judge and the qualifications OF
flowers, of which the following is
an extract:
ITO the eye of practical
ehrysanthemum grower, whether
he Is acting in the capacity of a
Judge or not, the differences be-
tween competing collections are
apparent at glance. In such
cases it would be a waste of time
to examine each plant or bloom.
There are cases, however.
VIII rc competition is so close
that to an ordinary on-looker
there could be hardly any differ
ence; in such cases it is only by
scientific methods that Il decision
can be reached, and that decis-
ions, if questioned, can be de-
tended. A prize wrongly awarded
Is more than an act of injustice to
an d vidual for it amounts to
setting up a wrong standard of
qualifications which may be mis-
-lead!ng. s1lal.sA-..sAn a,A atitias-
the method of judging must there
fore be by points 1t would
be impossible to give justice in
any other way. 1t is customary
to allow ten points for ten diff
ferent qualifications of the plants
or blooms, making 100 points the
highest attainable number. For
cut blooms, for instance, where
size and density of petal are all
that could be desired, ten points
should be allowed; if only mod
crate, five points and if poor, no.
points. Mere size of bloom, with
out the quality of firmness, dem
sity and substance of petal does
not constitute the fullest quail
fications. The largest bloom,
providing it has all the nee
essary qualifications, is, of course,
entitled to the largest number of
points. A very large, loose bloom
with loose petals, that has not the
necessary firmnes, to retain them
in the desired position should not
be deemed equal to a smaller
bloom that is solid and Of perfect
con.our. Color would come next
to size in cut blooms, and points
would be awarded from one to
ten. Bright colors should be
bright as possible, and light colors
as pure and clear as attainable

TIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia n. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

MRS. B. A. LOMBARD, Box II, West
dale, Mass, writes: 81 have reason to
think that / would not be here now if
1t had not been for Lydia e. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound. It cured me of
. fibroid tumor in my womb.
"Doctorscould donothing forme. and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
I will tell you about it:
81 had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped If possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
"Upon examination, he found there
was q fbroid tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatmentwithout any benefit
whatever. About that time q lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
said she owed her life to it. / said I
would try it, and did. Soon after tho
Tow became more natural and regular.
/ still continued taking the Compound
for some time. Then the doctor made an
examination again, and found every
thing all right. The tumor had passed
away, and that dull ache was gone. !"
1t can be truthfully stated that
such result can be accomplished by no
other remedy upon the market, and
forcibly proves the peculiar virtue Of

Looking for . Substitute.

The condition Of the rubber trade
brought about by the increased demand
and the many new uses for rubber. has
excited great interest in the POSSIBLE
ity of inventing substitute.
In England substitute called
''oxilin" was claimed to be a substl-
tute, and clergyman OF Denver, Colo,
invented substitute called "perchoid'
for which the same claim was made.
These substitutes are identical In
their composition, being made from
linseed oil, the composition known as
linoleum being the suggestion of both
inventors, but the oil in the new COM,
position is not fully oxidized, lithargeii
being used and currents OF cold air.
Continued experiments yielded more
and more elastic substance, and 1T was
found that with sulphur quite similar
effects were produced, comparatively,
as with rubber. Oxiiin and perchold
can also be vulcanized, but in no case
was it able to fulfill all the require
ments of rubber. For bicycle tires 1t
has been found to serve quite well, but
it lacks the life and durability OF rub
Der. Oxilin and perchoid can be pro-
duced at cost of from 5 to cents per
pound, and this fact, coupled with the
price of rubber at 80 cents per pound,
and that the claimed substitutes have
not been introduced with such favora-
BILE competing prices. shows conclusive
ly that it is not likely to affect the
present condition of the rubber market.
Latter discoveries have worked veritable
miracles, but it does not seem at all
likely that good substitute for rubber
will be discovered soon.

From England to Australia.

The longest cable in the world will
doubtless be the direct Geographic con-
nection between England and Austria
liza, for which plans have been submit
ted to the English government. The
cable will begin on the coast of Corn.
wall and be laid to Gibraltar Q,196
nautical miles,, from there to Sierra
Leone, the English possession in New
Guinea (2,379 nautical miles,, via St.
Helena (8lO) to Capetown (1,91O) from
which city a Geographic connection
exists with Natal. From Natal the
cable is projected to the island Of
Mauritius 1879, from there to the
island of Rodriguez (406), then to the
Cocus or Keeling islands directly across
the Indian ocean CAD; from there
finally to Perth, the capital of the col
ony of West Australia.
The companies interested in this ca
BILE line, which will have total length
of Is, 648 nautical miles, are the East
African, the East & South African, the
Australian & Asiatic and the China
Telegraph Companies.
