THAT HoMELY RED GARD.
Saloon Men Must Lock After
Their License Card or They
May Get Left.

Truth, of Detroit, publication
which is printed in the interest of
the liquor dealers OF Michigan, had
the following in recent issue on
the homely red card which the state
issues liquor dealers as a license
card:
"a recent decision by County
Treasurer Buhrer, of Wayne county,
backed by an opinion from Prosecut-
ing Attorney Frazer, will put stop
to issuing duplicate license cards to
dealers who have lost their cards,
no matter in what manner.
eff you lose them or have them
stolen the county treasurer has no
authority to issue duplicates, and
you can't do business without q
card, Even If your place burns
down and the card is destroyed by
lire new one, by the stict construc-
ton of the law, cannot be secured.
The practice, has been for the
treasurer to issue duplicate card
on a showing by affidavit that the
original had been lost. The pos
sibilities for crooked work afforded
by this system led the county treas
urer TO seek legal advice, with the
above result.
"The treasurer discovered an ex-
traordinary condition Of affairs when
getting material for his answer to
mandamus proceedings begun by
Ernest Fink, saloonkeeper, to
compel the issuing Of duplicate
card. Fink was formerly in business
on Gratiot avenue, but when he
moved TO Garfield avenue he asked
for new card, stating the old one
had been lost 1t turned out that
the card had passed into the pos
session of the Weight Brewing Co.,
and the county treasurer refused to
issue new one. Recently he dis
covered that Fink's old stand on
Gratiot avenue is used as a saloon,
and that the card issued to Fink is
being displayed there.

po,son.T,pped Arrow Hesds.

Two chemists of the University OF
Edinburgh have analysed the stun
used in Africa as poison for AFRO"
heads and which never yet has been
examined chemically. This poison Is
extracted by boiling the roots and
stems of a plant called asocanthora
shimperi, and the poison is named aso-
cantherin. The plant belongs to lam
ily of poison plants called apocynum'
to which belong the oleander, stro-
nhantes. dog cabbage and many other
varieties. The action of the arrow
head poison is powerful to an extra
ordinary degree, and Immediately al
fects the heart. which in strong doses
il quickly paralyzes. The chemists
experimented in inoculating animals
with the juice, and noticed that even
when the heart became paralyzed the
action of the lungs continued little
while longer. The poison, therefore,
affects the muscles, but not the nerves,
which explains that phenomenon OF
frogs which were inoculated breath
ing after the heart had ceased its ac-
ton.

Queer Money.

Europeans trading in China are re-
duced to great straits for money. Eng
lish gold will always pass; but Is
scarce. In large trading undertakings
bars OF pure gold, weighing thirteen
ounces are recognized as official ex-
change. Gold leaf is used by bankers
for smaller amounts. Inland, where
gold of any kind is rarely seen, horse
shoe-shaped pieces of silver, weighing
five to fifty ounces, are used. Some
trading corporations have been forced
to issue bank notes and tokens made OF
bamboo slips; but the mistrustfui
Chinaman is very chary OF accepting
these, so their circulation Is limited to
one town, sometimes to single street.
In the new colony of Urganda, west
of the great African lakes, there was
practically no coinage but shells. AS
these are bulky, and therefore incon-
yenient. Europeans have started a
new system, Needles and cloth are
now current everywhere. Three needles

The Cultivated Rubber Tree.

Native Indian gatherers, intent
only upon present gain, cannot be ex
pected to be more thoughtful of the
future of tree than they are of their
own, and they either cut so deep as tc
injure the woody fiber of the tree, OF
leave it with great gaping wounds
that cannot heal. 1t is inadvisable tc
draw too heavily from the tree, fol
other reasons than the direct injury
that results from the loss of its life
sustaining fluid. Owing to the soft
nature of the tree clean incision
made IN it will drain but a compare
lively small area before the swelling
wood closes the wound and stops the
flow. In order to drain the trees
more completely, the short-sighted
natives do not stop at making cut.
but chop out piece of the bark to
prevent the wound filling up. Such
an injury soon renders the strongest

Charles Reade's Motto.

81 propose never to guess what }
can know" This motto was rigid,
adhered to by the author, whose love
of accuracy was so great that hs
spared no pains to verify every state
ment he desired to make in any OF
his novels; grudging no amount o.
labor which he expended IN the &C
complishment of this result. He was
an interchangeable collector of news
paper clippings from all nations
which he carefully classified and ar
ranged in many scrapbooks. Reports
of many institutions, police gazettes.
accounts of trials and accidents, and
manifold descriptions of all sorts were
filed away for future reference. The
contents of these scrapbooks were in
dexed with great care, and from them
Charles Reade derived great satisfac'
ton; if ever any of his statements
were questioned or his facts denied,
he would turn triumphantly to his
classified scrapbooks and refute the
objections with some positive proof
contained therein. Miss Ticknor, IN

Spanish Proverbs.

Proverbs uncomplimentary to the
fair sex are common in Spain: "A
woman like pavement should be well
trampled on to keep In order" "A
woman is like a candle; twist her neck
II you wish her to be good" Beware
of a bad woman. and do not trust a
good one" Crying in woman and
limping in a dog. is all a sham" "A
cock crows on his own dunghill, but
hens cackle everywhere" This in
reference TO the supposed garrulous-
LESS and inquisitive disposition OF the
eek. SHOW me a magpie without a
spot, and will show you a woman
without a fault" In English, counter
parts are not Warrington example;

BEST LIFE FOR HEALTH.
Outdoor Exercise and Its Beneficial En-
feet OH the Nerves.

The London Lancet makes some in
teresting comments on the effect OF
conditions in crowded England upon
the public health, with the Beers as
an example of the benefits accrulng
from plenty of room, simple habits
and outdoor life.
"The ambition of the Boer," says
the Lancet, lis to be surrounded by
80 vast tract of land that he cannot
see the dwelling of his nearest neigh.
Dor. Then his occupations are all
outdoor occupations. He must ride
enormous distances to 60 to church,
to do his shopping, to fetch medical
man, or to pay visit, For his food
supply he depends to some extent
upon hunting, aud here again we have
health. giving occupation, to say
nothing of the incidental fact that this
enables him to become an excellent
marksman. There is the all impor'
taut fact that he is exempt from the
health wearing trials alike of wealth
and of poverty, neither surfeited ny
luxurious living nor starved for want
OF the necessities Of existence.
"But what in the long run often
proves more fatal still is the terrible
strain on the nervous system due to
the want of leisure, the want of free
dom from anxiety caused by our over
wrought civilization, and the acute
ness of the struggle for existence.
The Boer mind is not torn and
harassed by the ambitious hope OF
wealth or the constant dread Of bank
ruptcy, of poverty, debt and stal va
ton. He feels quite safe as to the
morrow's existence. His land is not
over-populated, but uDderpopulated.
"He knows nothing either of our sor'
did poverty, of our overcrowding and
of all the insalubrious and degrading
conditions bred of misery that accom-
pany and put to shame our wealth.
1t would not be possible to find a
submerged tenth among the Beers.
| Therefore the Beers are free from
those nerve disorders that so largely
contribute to destroy the health OF
the populations in the great CONNER
cial centers.
Even the Beers are taller,
stronger and of more powerful ply
sique than the English. 1t is quite
common occurrence to meet Boel
six feet six inches in height. The
Boer who has taken to town life anc
acquired town vices may degenerate
like other people, but this is not oil
frequent occurrence. Even those who
do live in towns often preserve theil
primitive and simple methods of exis
tence."
From these considerations the Ian
Get draws the conclusion that the ef
forts oflegislation and of philanthropy
should be directed first to the en-
deavor to get as large section of tn
population as possible back on to tn
land. We should strive to max
town life as similar to country life a
possible. Therefore streets should b
as broad and houses surrounded wit
as much open space as circumstance
will admit. All accumulations @
filth which corrupt the atmosphere o
towns should be removed with tn
utmost celebrity, and the means G
communication should be SO muiti
piled aud reduced in cost as to en-
able townsfolk to enjoy the maximum
OF exercise in the open country.

The splendor of Wellington's serv-

siderable extent obscured the import
snce of what he achieved in India, in
the field and in council; yet this gave
proof of his best qualities, and was
characteristic in the highest degree,
leays the Fortnightly Review. He be-
came the most prominent and distin-
suished soldier in our army in India
at grave crisis, when our empire was
. endangered in no doubtful sense; his
conduct mainly contributed to. the sue
cess OF our arms. His first essays in
The field were not fortunate; he made
a night attack In the campaign against
Tippoo without accommodating, which
naturally failed; he was rather under a
cloud at the siege OF Seringapatam.
= But his administrative power and his
faculty of command were seen In his
direction of the Nizam's army; and he
was rightly appointed to the head OF
affairs at Mysore after the conquest
of that kingdom and the death of Tip
poo, though his brother conferred the
appointment upon him. His military
- genius, however was most conspicu-
Gus and exhibited itself with peculiar
clearness in his great and decisive vic
tory of Assaye.
