An Antidote For Poison.

If person swallows any poison
whatever, or has fallen into convul-
sions from having overloaded the
stomach, an instantaneous remedy,
most efficient and applicable in large
number Of cases, is a heaping tea
spoonful of common salt and as much
ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a
teacupfool Of water, warm or cold, and
swallowed instantly. 1t is scarcely
down before it begins to come up,
bringing with it the remaining contents
of the stomach; and lest there be any
remains of the poison, however small,
let the white Of an egg or teaspoon
full of strong coffee be swallowed as
soon as the stomach is quiet, because
these very common articles nullify
large number of virulent poisons.

Driving Out The Horse.

The price Of horses which had fallen
so greatly in five years was restored
considerably when the war with Spain
began. owing to the large purchases of
the governm mt.
In the last few weeks, however,
prices have again declined. The gov
ernment.is now selling horses instead
Of buying saem and is getting much
less than it paid.
The horse is now competing with
machines and appliances which have
reduced his value largely, and which
will probably bring it still lower.
The use Of electricity as motive
power for street cars and the ubiqui-
tious bicycle are the chief reason for
the lessened value of horses. The
horseless carriage is still so expensive
that it has cut small figure in this
competition, but in it the horse may
soon find a very hurtful rival. At the
meeting of the American Hay associa.
tion in Buffalo few days ago, one OF
the speakers declared that in the
eight cities of New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis,
Cincinnati. Richmond and Toledo the
electric trolley and bicycles have dis
placed 100000 horses. According to
this proposition millions Of horses
have lost large part Of their useful
ness in this country in the last few
years. The decreased consumption OF
hay in the eight cities named on ac-
count Of the displacement of so many
horses is estimated at 100000 tons a
year. The lessened demand for hay
in the entire country for the same
reason is millions Of tons yeaY
Thus the farmer is made to fes the
effect of mechanical APPLICATION of
power. The big problem of labor saw
ing machinery looms up everywhere,
and raises questions which no political
economist or statesman has yet an
swered satisfactorily.
The farmers themselves have helped
to cut down the demand for hay, one
of their largest and most valuable
products. No cntcrprising farmer who
has the means to obtain it hesitates to
adopt machinery that saves labor and
work ks cheaper than the hay-burner.
Steam engines propel cotton gins
and cotton screws which were once op-
Grated by horses and mules. lmprov-
ed plows, reapers and thrashing ma
chimes and other modern farm machln.
cry have thrown many thousands OF
horses out of a job.
The average horse has less chance
for useful and honorable career to-
day than he ever had before, and the
sel6shness of man guar: ptees that the
long and noble record Of Se horse will
weigh as nothing again anything
that will do the horses work quicker
and cheaper.-Atlanto journal

of courage in this supreme moment,
when deaths hand was actually upon
him. The fire that was in him lit the
hearts of. his comrades, and inspired
them to superhuman effort, and they
dashed into the head of the yankee

captured this gallant boy and his flag,
and hurled the attacking column back
in confusion and out of my way, thus
saving my command and the captured

not have won. Feeling that he had
won the fight, and not although he
was private-as soon as General
Hampton came up I related the Incl

enthusiastically endorsed by General
Hampton, recommending this boy for
promotion.

"Well, tell me, my FRIEND y said the
Union officer, "where on earth did you

A Young Soldier.

The youngest soldier in the army
that went to Cuba was boy fourteen
Years old. His father was bugler in
one Of the volunteer regiments en-
camped at. Tampa. He followed the
regiment To Tampa and was ordered
home. He did not 60 home, and when
the regiment was ordered aboard the
transports to go to Cuba he slowed
himself away until they were day out
to sea. There was nothing for the com
manding officer to do but to take the
bow with him to Cuba, where he was
made a water-boy. During the battle
of San Juan Hill the boy carried water
to the men, and did all that he could
during the battle. He was returned on
one Of the first transports, but when he
reached New York he had no money to
nav his railroad fare to his home at
Columbus, Ohio. The government ofil-
cials could not pay his transportation,
but a. letter was given him asking rail-
way officers to help him home. When
asked if he was afraid during the bat
tie. he said he cid not have time to be
afraid he had too much to do.
