Dangers Of rabbit ne

028BeEn % AaDOhs Fuos
In Longman's for September Ns.
Rider Haggard in his article. "A Farm
er's Year." relates the old chestnut"
about the danger Of eating rabbit pis.
A bicyclist hnd an attack like angina
pectoris, and London specialist stated
that "his attack was brought on by
eating cold rabbit pie, which produced
some peculiar form Of ptomaine poi
soning. II appears that all pies II un-
ventilated are dangerous, hut that cold
rabbit unventilated is apt to be abso-
lutely deadly" 1t seems, however.
hardly likely that the mere addition
Of ventilation hole in the pie would
be Of any benefit. The attack was more
probably due to some disease in the
rabbit which was undetected ss its
death.

THE MAJOR AND THE
MORM0NS.
From the New York Journal.

Having effected an amicable alliance
with the polygamous Sultan of Sulu, it
was but natural that Mr.. Mckinley
should seek one with the Mormon hier-
archy of Utah; and apparently the mission
of the Hon. Perry S. Heath. secretary Of
the Republican National Committee, to
Salt Lake City was not in vain. The en-
thusiastic welcome given Mr. Roosevelt a
little later by the Latter Day Saints de-
monstrated that fact.
Quite naturally, the Mormon hierarchy
of Utah figure that if plural marriages are
all right under the American flag in Sulu
they will be all right under the same flag
in the land of the honey bee. That is why
they are for the Major
But they seem to overlook the fact that
the Major has way Of changing his mind
Even in matters of 'plain duty he has
been known to wabble most ungracefnlIy.
