Poisonous Flowers.

The berries of the yew have killed many persons, and it is pretty well Known nowadays that it is not safe to eat many peach pits or cherry kernels at once.
 Among the garden plants commonly in vogue which possess a poisonous na- ture botanists mention the flowers of the ~jonquil, white hyacinth and snow- drop, thenarcissus being also particu- larIy deadly. so much so, indeed, that to chew a small scrap of one of the bulbs may result fatally while the juice of the leaves is an emetic.
 There is enough opium in red pop pies ito do mischief, and the autumn -eroeus, if the blossoms are chewed, causes illness.
 The lobelias are all dangerous, their juice, if swallowed, producing giddi- ness, with pains in the head. assz

There seems hardly any limit to the age of fish of many kinds. Carp are known to have lived 200 years and over, while the case of the Russian pike that was caught a few years ago with a gold band around it's tail on which the date 1546 was imprinted is well known. There are gold fish that have belonged to one family over so years, and do not now appear much larger than when originally placed in the acquarium though they are every bit as lively as ever. In the royal aquarium of St. Petersburg there are fish to-day that are known to have been there at least 150 years. Some of them are five times as big as when first captured; others have not grown an inch

He Clean First.

That is an excellent expression of stephen Grellet's: You have been starched, but not washed Anything to avoid the washing process! The main thing is to get the starehed ef- feet! Now the divine method goes deeper; it begins with the washing. Religion never polishes up an old cor rupt life; it does not simply put sttffen- ing into our soiled lives. It cleanses, it purifes, it whitens. '-The American Friend

Perfu1nea Garments.

A very effective way of exalting Christ before the world Is to live in such close friendship with him that We will gather in our own lives the sweet ness and beauty of his character. There is valley in Romania which is almost entirely given up to the cultivation of roses; for miles and miles on every side stretch the rose gardens. Their fragrance fills the air and scents every thing that comes into the valley. It is said that travellers stopping over for a few days in this valley become so per- fumed in their garments with the fra. grance of the roses that it clings to them for days afterward. It will be like that if we associate intimately with Jesus Christ. The fragrance Of his love and hope and sympathy will cling to us and make Christ seem lova- ble to those who know him not-Dr. L. Albert Banks.

THE DAY OF REsTs
A LEGEND OF ST. NICHOLAS.
The Punishment of the Father Who Did
 Not Fulfil His Promise.

The Punishment of the Father Who Did
 Not Fulfil His Promise.
 A certain man. who was very de- sirous of having an heir to his estate, vowed that, if his prayer were granted. the first time he took his son to church he would offer a cup of gold on the. altar of St. Nicholas. A son was granted, and the father ordered the cup of gold to be prepared; but when it was finished, 1t was so wonderfully beautiful that he resolved to keep it for himself, and caused silver one of less value to be made for the saint.
 After some time, the man went on a journey to accomplish his vow; and, being on the way, he ordered his little son to bring him water in the golden cup he had appropriated, but in doing so the child fell into the wat er and was drowned.
 Then the unhappy father lamented himself, and wept, and repented of his great sin. And, repairing to the church of St. Nicholas, he offered tip the silver cup; but it fell from the al tar; and second and third time it fell and while they looked on as- tonished, behold! the drowned boy ap- peared before them, and stood on the steps of the altar, bearing the golden cup in his hand. He related how the good St. Nicholas had preserved him alive, and brought him there. The father, full of gratitude, offered up both the cups, and returned home with his son in joy and thanksgiving.-Mrs. Jameson's Sacred and Legendary Art"
 The Two Kinds Of seIf-DenIaI.
 All life is a system of self-denial The wicked man denies himself as much as the most conscientious Chris tian. The difference is in the kinds of things toward which the self-denial is applied Daniel denied himself the wine and highly seasoned meats of the kings court in order that he might keep his head clear and his body strong and vigorous. BelshaszaF, on the other hand, denied himselfa clear head in or der that he might have the present pleasures of wine-drinking. Daniel could not get along without prayer and revefent worship toward God, but he could get along without drunkenness Belshazzar could not do without his sprees, but he could do without the prayer meeting. The difference in des- tiny of the two men. the one coming to old age in honor and nobility. and the other going down in drunken reyel, was the logical outcome of the several paths of f-denial they had been pursuing f their youth.-Dr. l.. \. Banks.

Thousands have tried from time imme- morial to discover some cffcacious remedy for wrinkles and other imperfections of the complexion, but none had yet suc- ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam Dus Complexion Specialists, of 78 Fifth Avenue, New York City, offered the pub lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic The reason so many failed to make this discovery before is plain, because they have not followed the right principle. Balms Creams, Lotions, etc, never have tonic effect upon the skin, hence the failures.

John R. Moore Dead.

! After searching for a number of days
 for John R. moore. Who was reported
 missing from his home near Stock ton Hill last week, under Sheriff Lovin and Joe Labaree returned to Kingman last Sunday without finding any trace of the missing man. J. H. Johnson went
 ont to the Moore place Monday morn ing and found MoOre's remains about
 three hundred yards southeast of the house. The unfortunate man had been dead four or five days. NIT. Johnson came into town at once and reported the matter to the coroner, who empaueled a jury and went out at once to hold an inquest on the remains. fIer viewing the remains and hearing testimony the juy returned a verdict Of death from natural causes. The remains were very badly decomposed and had to be buried early next Jay. Judge Blakely con- ducted the service at the grave.
 MT Moore was aged about 50 years; was native of Ireland, and had resid- ed in Mohave county for the past 16 years. He was known to all old Com stock miners, having been resident of Virgi ia clty in early days, where he Was engaged Tn the brokerage business. Coming to Arizona at tEe time of the Tombstone excitement he wandered through the camps of Cochoise Maricopa and Yavapai counties and finally reach ed Mohave county where he engaged in mining with Joe Labaree. About four teen years ago his wife died, since which time hIs mind has been some what affected. Last summer he suffered from faiDting spell, which overcame him while on the way home from Camp bell. He fell among some sha. rocks and was badly bruised and cut about the head and face. Since that time he las been overcome by numerous spells of this nature, and It is thought that while taking a walk he was overcome and died before aid could reach hi:n. He has no relatives in this country. A step daughter living some where in California was the only Perscn he cared for Tn tLe world, and to many people he expressed hIs wish that all he possessed should go to her.
 John R. Moore was thoroughly hon. est man, and to all who knew him hIs sad death will be earnestly regretted Mohave Miner.

ROUGH RIDER REUNIONS.
Las Vegas, June 24th to 27-ChicagO
 October 5th to l1th.

The place for holding the first reunion of the Rough Riders has at last been de- cided upon. The contest for the honor simmered down to Las Vegas and Albu- q1eroue. and to satisfy them Colonel Brodie gave those towns two days each 1; d husines meeting in Las Vegas and celebration in albuquerque.
 At this pornt Albuquerque withdre" and generously let Las Vegas have the entire celebration, Which occurs June 24th to 27th.
 Lieutenant H. w Weabley, one of the members of Troop F. in an nintervlew in the Albuquerque Citizen, stated that he had positive information that Coionel Roosevelt cannot come west during the summer months, but can be in Chicago in October, and therefore the Lieuten- ant favored that place for the reunion.
 However, from a sentimental point of view, I favor Albuquerque, bat re- union of Rough Riders without their gal Ian: Colonel, who was in all tlfe charges, would be sadly lacking and incomplete. v"Chicago is in no manner attempting to antagonize the territory or to rob It of the laurels that rightfully belong to it, but under the present circumstances 1t thinks that the inducements offered en- title it to be made the meeting point of the regiment in its first general reunion in October next, from the 5th to the 11th inclusive. Chicago proposes to hold the greatest festival or celebration ever known in America. The primal reason tor the festivity is the laying of the cor nerstone of the new federal brilding, which will be one of the most magnih- cent structures belonging to the govern ment. President McKinly has consent ed to lay the cornerstone, and will be attended by his entire cabinet. In ad- dition the supreme bench of the United States, the diplomatic Corps, the govern ment of the various states, with their staffs. President Diaz of Mexico and
 
 last, but not least, Admiral George Dewey of the United States navy has also consented to be present.
 "It is proposed to turn the 10th of October over to our regiment alone and that day is to be known as Rough Rid CT dav.'
 "Realizing as they do the matter of great expense that the boys would be under in attending the reunion in Chi cago, the committee has pledged itself to pay transportation charges ot every man in the regiment. In addition to this it promises 10 entertain to the boys royalty while in the city" From the above it appears that there will he two meetings this year and the indications are that both will he well attended. ed.-Yuna Sun.
