called last night (Monday) at the office
of the Figaro with a cablegram summar-
izing the statement made in New York
by Count Boni de Castellane regarding
recent assertions in the columns of that
journal respecting the Count, he was
informed that the editor NJ. de Rodays
was staying at Dimard, but was expected
back today (Tuesday.)
NJ. de Roday's deputy, to whom the
cablsgram was news, promptly tele-
graphed 1t to his chief but up to o'clock
this morning no response has been re-

OF ever-memorable value is the

Of beer. On one occasion I carried
up and down stairs large form Of
types in each hand, when others car
ried but one in both hands. They
wondered to see that the Water
American as they called me, was
stronger than themselves, who drank
strong beer.
1--WE had an alehousc boy, who
always attended in the house to sup
ply the workmen. My companion
at the press drank every day pint
before breakfast, pint at breakfast
with his bread and cheese, a pint be-
tween breakfast and dinner, q pint at
dinner, pint in the afternoon about
six o'clock. and another pint when he
had done with his days work. I
thought it dcstestablc custom, but
he supposed it was necessary to drink
strong beer that he might be strong to
labor. I endeavcrcd to convince him
that the bodily strength afforded by
beer could only be in proportion to
the grain Of -four Of the barley dir
solved in the water Of which it was
made; that there was more -four in q
pennyworth Of bread, and therefore if
he could eat that with pint of water
it would give him more strength thar

ever, and had four or Eve shillings tt

Webster's BIunder.

In 1914 Daniel Webster spoke in
the United States Senate against a
bill to establish mail line from Mis-
souri, to the Pacific Coast. "What do
we want said he, with the vast,
worthless area, this region of savage $
and wild beasts, of deserts. of shift
ing sands and whirlwinds Of dust, of
cactus and praric dogs? 4 Mr..
President, l will never vote one cent
from the public treasury to place the
Pacific Coast one inch nearer to Bos-
ton than it is now" Mr.. Webster
was supported in his opposition by Mr..
Clay. Mr.. Calhoun aad other leaders
Of the Senate. knowing little, if
; anything, Of the physical geography
! OF the country, it is not strange that
these statesmen, being unable to fore
cast the future, should utter false
prophecies. \ man may be politi-
clan and an orator without knowing
geography.
Doctor H. NJ. Field, who quotes Mr..
Wehster's remarks in Our Western
Archipelago" briefly describes that
worthless area out of which within
haif century nave been carved Cali
fornia and Washington, the one rich
in gold and silver, the other richer
still by reason Of its coal, iron, lum-
Der, Northern fruits, wheat, oats and
grass.
Its people" says the author, writ
ing of Washington, "tell Us that t
has more coal than Pennsylvania, more
iron than Alabama and more lumber
than Michigan and Wisconsin PVT to-
gether.'
1t is not uncommon for the land to
yield from fifty to eighty bushels to
the acre. Riding through the oat-
fields, one may see stalks feet high.
The grass retains its sweetness
through all weather. II does not
spoil when lef. lying out in the fields,
but remains green and juicy. Cattle
can be raised almost for nothing so
abundant is it. Horses will not bring

Look here said Tim Topper to 6
company of his total abstinence nciga
bors, "you men have been telling me
that whiskey is poisonous, and this
paper says that a man over in the
mountains was bitten by rattle
last week, and that they made him
drink all the whiskcy that he could
hold, and SO saved his life. Now
what do you think about that
And Simon Sobcrman replied "It
Just confirms what We have all been
saying. believe in the Bible, and
it declares that wine, because Of the
alcohol in it of course, bites like a
serpent. Now since whiskcy is more
alcoholic than wine, it must bc big

then, you ask, can one snake bite

the power Of curing morbid conditions
similar to those which they have the
power to excite This theory of
medicine did not originate with IIah-
ncmann, early in this century, but
was taught by Ilippocratcs, who lived
four hundred years before Christ. a
Greek poet wrote stanza in l0l b.
Z. which has been translated as fol-
lows:
Take the hair, it is well written,
Of the dog by which you're bitten,
Work off one wine by his brother,
And one labor with another

son Agonistes, says: In physic
things Of melancholc hu: and quality
are used against melancholy, sour
against sour, salt to remove salt
humors, etc. So you sec that &C.
cordiDg to the Scriptures and medical
science the result in that case was to
be expected. 1t was simply poison
against poison"
"Well," cried Tim, "if. then, you
think that there is such similarity
between drinking whiskey and the bite
of a rattlcsnakc, why not reverse the
process? Why not get rattlcsnakcs
to bite the drunkards, and see if that
wouldn't cure them? If l were one
of your temperance cranks, should
collect lot Of snakes and put them
into all the saloons. OF course they
would do no harm there, for their
poison would only countcract the
effect Of that which is in the bottles
and the glasses
That is good suggestion, Tim.
But cheaper and easier way is to
abolish the saloons; or, in other
words, kill the whiskey snakes"
