Poisoning by Canned Meat.


From Appletcn's Popular Science Monthly
Instances of poisoning from the eating of
canned meats have become quite common.
Although it may be possible that in some
instances the ill-effects result from metallic
poisoning. in a great majority of cases the
poisonous substances are formed by putre-
facuve changes In many cases it Is prob
able that decomposition begins after the
can has been opened by the consumer; in
others the canning is imperfectly done, and
putrefactiOn IS far advanced before the
food reaches the consumer. In still other
instances the meat may have been taken
from diseased animals. or It may have nm
dergone putrefactive changes before the
canning. 1t should always be remembered
that canned meat is especially liable to M
trefactive changes after the can has been
opened. and when the contents Of the omen
can are not consumed a once the remain
der should be kept in a cold place or should
be thrown away. People are especially
careless on this point. While every one
knows thai fresh meat should be kent in a
cold place during the summer, an omen ca
OF meat is often allowed to stand at sIIn-
iner temperature and its contents eaten
hours after the can has been opened. This
Is not safe, and has caused several ont
breaks Of meat poisoning that have come
under the observation of the writer.

HUNTING QUAIL IN NEBRASKA.

REFLECTIONS OF AN ARTIST.
Poor Quality of Pictures Often M
cIeus to Fine Collection.

Many a nucleus to a fine art collection
has been laid in a few pictures of poor
quality" said well-known art connois-
seur to a Star reporter today. Whenever
a man comes to my studio. looks over the
pictures and buys the canvas that really
pleases him. he continued. II am fairly
well satisfied that he is destined to make
a notable collection if he has the necessary
means no matter what bad taste or lack
of taste he shows in his first selections. 1t
is only the man who has confidence in
his own judgment, and who buys only
what others tell him are good, for whom 1
have no hope. The fact is picture is an
educator and the man or woman who buys
one and studies 1t is sure. sooner or later,
to discover its faults and its fine points, no
matter how blind they were to them at
first and no matter what fiimsy trick of the
artist they We're attracted by.
Try it yourself if you doubt the truth of
this assertion You may know nothing of
art. Buy picture that pleases you. hang
II where YOU can see it daily and look at it
frequently. You will need no instruction
to learn whether 1t has merit or is filled
with defects. Many art collector has
been educated in this way. BY and by the

the novice instinCtively becomes a Compe-
tent judge of what is meritorious or bad in
art

THE NATURE OF MICE.
A Puzzle to the Human Mind Until
You Understand 1t.


Few people understand the mystery of
mice. l think 1 can, without immodesty
claim to understand mice, for 1 have made
them a study for many years. 1 used to
think that nature supplied mice wherever
there seemed to be any call for them. For
example, If you live in a house where there
are no mice. and In a rash moment provide
yourself with mouse trap, or set up a
cat mice will Immediately make their ap-
pearance. To the superficial observer this
looks as If nature, perceiving that you have
a mouse trap, proceeds to supply mice for
1t, or, noticing that you have a cat, sends
mice enough to satisfy the animal. But
this is not the true explanation. In order
to understand mice you must grasp the
fact that the mouse is animal with a
keen sense of humor and a love of excite
ment. With this key in your possession you
can readily unlock the mystery of mice
That the mouse has a sense of humor is
conspicuously shown by the way in which
he will rattle a newspaper in your bed room
at night. The mouse does not eat newspa-
perS. neither does he put them to any do
nestle use He merely makes a noise with
them, knowing that Of all sounds the mid
night rustic of newspaper Is the one
which will most successfully Danish sleep
from your eyes. If a mouse finds an eligi-
BILE newspaper in your bed room he will set
tie himself down to night of fun and jol-
lily. He will rattle that newspaper till
morning, and the only effect of throwing
boots at him. or of getting up and lighting
the gas and searching for him with poker
will be that he will hide himself till you lie
down to sleep and then resume his little
newspaper game. If this does not show a
sense of humo- 1t would be difficult to say
what it does show.
Then there Is the well-known fact that no
sooner does mouse trap cat enter a
house than it is followed by a troop of
mice. Cats and traps draw mice as the
pole draws the magnet. The mouse loves
the game of teasing the cat by stimulating
the latter's hopes of capturing mice. 1t is
considered the height of fun among mice
to scuttle across room in the presence of
cat, and to disappear in a hole just as a
cat is ready to pounce. OF course. now and
then a too reckless mouse pays the penalty
of rashness by being caught by the cat, but
accidents of this kind are more rare among
mice than foot ball accidents among men
and In no way render mice shy of the game
If you once understood the nature of
mice you need have no trouble with them
Danish from your house every cat, trap and
newspaper and not mouse will show him
self. Fill your house with newspapers
traps and cats, and mice will flock to If
from miles away. No mouse will go to a
house where no amusement is offered TO
him. This lesson 1 have learned, as said
by years of study, and 1t has been confirm,
ed by the testimony Of several of the most
Intelligent cats whom I have known.

From the Detroit Free Press.
For a western town, which was rather
wild and woody than otherwise, she was a
very presentable woman in manner and at
tire, and when she came into the lawyer
office and said she had some important
business for him to handle for her he felt
that he had struck a rich lead.
We'll. madam" he said, when he had
seated her comfortably and fixed himself to
listen. IF you will tell me the nature of
your business l shall be glad to give you

It's about some money that my husband
left, she said for beginning.

well. it's this way: You see when I
married Bill | was poor and had no home,
and l married him because he had money
and l thought there was a good chance of
my getting 1t, for, you know, Bill went
around with his life in his hands all the
time. He kncwed [ never married him for
love, but he didn't care about that so long
as l would marry him. He said he was
likely to go any time with his boots on
and was willing for me to marry again but
ne wanted me to marry better man than
he was. and he made will leaving me
everything on condition that would marry
the man that killed him. That suited me
well enough, because l knew there wasn't
any less desirable man for husband than
Bill was. so l agreed to 1t in writing. Then
Bill went 1t too strong, and got the sheriff
after him for shooting a man without prov
ocaton, and the sheriff had been an old
beau of mine, and Bill didn't like the looks
of things, and what did he do when he was
close pushed but shoot himself"
OH exclaimed the lawyer, startled by
the suddenneSS of the tale.
And he done it just to spite me-" whim-
pered the widow, for with that signed
agreement of mine, along with the will,
what was l to do? That's what I've come
to see you about 1 can't very well marry
the man that killed BILL and if 1 marry
anybody else I'm going to lose 100000 At
least. that's the way it looks on paper I'm
tired of being a widow. but I'm not $40
worth tired, and l want you to tell me the
law on the situation
At last accounts the lawyer was knee
deep in law books looking up authorities.

Indian Beverages.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
A civilized Indian who came down yester-
day said that the reservation Indians are
acquiring taste for Jamaica ginger 1.-The
stores around the reservation" he said. "all

dams have discovered that it is as fiery a
beverage as cheap whisky A teaspoonful
will cause choking and coughing for several
minutes in throat unaccustomed to swal-
lowing the powerful stuff. Red ink is an
other favorite beverage of the Indians since
the federal authorities, have begun to ex-
ercse stricter supervision over their cop
per-skinned wards. 1t is the ordinary red
ink which bookkeeper uses in his balance
sheets and which book stores sell for writ

sences which white people use for buildings
are swallowed in quantity by the Indians.
