DEATH is EVER PRESENT.
Makers of the DeadIest Poison Ever
Discovered hy Science.


factory for the manufacture of
some of the deadliest poisons known is
located not far from the heart of New
York city, and sufficient poison is be-
ing made there now to annihilate the
whole population of the greater city.
1t is guarded carefully from all n
truders, and no one passes beyond its
portals without a special permit, and
even employees have to be skilled in
their work and understand the nature
of the risk they take before admittance
is granted them. In this factory is
drug that is never placed on the mar
ket in its pure state. and even in the
chemists laboratory it is handled with
all the care of poisonous reptile. #
the fumes of this acid should escape
the chemist would never live to tellthe
tale. The man who discovered it was
killed inhaling it's fumes, and many
another has met a similar death
From 3 to s per cent. of this acid
diluted with 81 parts of water forms
prussic acid. Even this poison is SO
deadly that inhaling it's fumes would
mean instant death, and it is never
handled except in the factory or few
large responsible laboratories.
Probably next in Importance to this
acid is the cyanide of potassium, which
is manufactured in another part of the
building, where fireproof and air

fumes of this are not poisonous and
one can work in the room where it is
manufactured without fear. except he
not touch it. The slightest quantity
of the poison in it's pure state would
kill if swallowed. The fumes OF
syanide of potassium have rather
pleasant odor, and it is said at the fac
tory that it has witching effect on
workmen. For all the world the
finished poison looks like crystallized
sugar, and as you gaze on it and smell
the fascinating odor there is strong
temptation to taste it. This fascina
ton is probably much like that which
draws man over steep precipice
At any rate, the attraction to taste OF
the poison is so well recognized that a
workman is never allowed in the room
alone. In the mixingroom, where the
men toll before huge caldron of mol
ten cyanide, the scene is like that OF
some old witch's cave, especially if one
knows the nature of the terrible poison
that the men are brewing.-Spokane

A Remarkable Man Gone.

The death of L. E. Chittenden at
Burlington, VT, removes a remarkable
man from the stage of life. The dece-
dent was registrar of the treasury dur
ing Iincoln's administration, and ne
became possessed of certain secret
that dies with him. Mr.. Chittenden
was the last survivor Of the few who
knew the name of a man in London
who, during the war, made loan OF
$1,000, 900 sterling, worth then, owing
to the premium on gold, nearly SlO,-
100000 to this government. Wishing
to avoid notoriety, he stipulated that
his name should never be known, and
it was never known to more than four
persons. of whom Mr.. Chittenden is
the last to die. The loan was made
through Charles Francis Adams. then
our minister at the court of st. James.
Adams stipulated that the national
benefactor should accept $10,o00,Oo0 in
United States coupon bonds. He did
not wish to do so. but finally agreed.
In order to get the bonds signed in
time for a shipment on certain
steamer, Mr.. Chittenden was obliged
to work continuously affixing his sigma
ture to them from Friday noon to the
following Sunday at 2 p. nifty
hours without sleep and with almost
no rest. For long time afterward mis-
right side was partially paralyzed as
the result.

Decorators in Trouble.

More trouble is in store for the reno
vators and decorators of st. PauPs, in
London The scheme of decoration
which made the nave resemble the in
terror of an opera house called forth
storm of disapproval last winter which
resulted in the colorings, and now an
other storm has arisen about the
panels which have been introduced,
without reference to Sir G. Wren's in
tentions, into the spandrils upon each
side of the diagonal arches of the octa-
g0n. A new and prominent feature
which is open to grave objection is also
being added to the building-the RED
and gilded iron railing now being
placed upon the main cornice. If a
railing be necessary in this position to
enable the mosaic and painted decora-
tions to be seen the petitioners 1e-
specially submit that it should be
something extremely light, after the
manner of many good examples in
Italy, and that it should be devised so
as to carefully abstain from affecting
the proportions of the building or in
terfering with the design in the attic.
The railing in question has both of
these defects, and in this regard diff
fers from the old railing at the west
end, which not only avoids any inter
ference with the architecture, but is a
thing of beauty in itself.

True Sports Never Die.

Bicycling is almost as old as the

though Americans in general seem
not to have heard of it till recently;
football was played in China more
than fifteen hundred years ago, and
in younger nations ever since they
heard of it, and archery and horse

man and are instructive in millions.
These sports cannot die. or even be
killed, nor can any others that are
liked: they are as irrepressible and
immortal as the human impulse to

Look at the army of statesmen and
saleswomen in our stores. There is
not, l believe, as capable or honest a
corps of workers in the world. Yet a
French or English shopgirl will sell
twice as many goods in the same time,
and the customer will come again and
again to be served by the same woman.
Why? Because she is civil and courte-

There is something pitiful as well as
ridiculous in the Indifference, the
hauteur, the actual rudeness of many
of the intelligent young men and Wo-
men behind our counters. Yet, civillty
is their capital By selling gloves or
tinwear they earn their living, and the
more civil they are, the more they sell.
Most of my readers know a few
saleswomen who have remained IN
some of the old business houses until
an honored old age, and, by their
ability and courtesy, have made for
themselves hosts of friends. 1t is a
pity that these foolish young people
could not learn their business from
them.-"An American Mother" in the

Too Much Economy in Lighting.

The economy plan in the lighting
of the streets of Bay City, Mich, is
being worked a little too strong, &C
cording to recent press reports from
that city The Tribune recently said;
The manner in which the streets of
Bay City are lighted Tor rather not
lighted) has ceased to be a subject
of humorous mention and should be
given some consideration by the COM
mon council. The city has an ex
pensive lighting plant, but for at least
one-third of the month the people who
pay taxes for the support of public
institutions do not realize that fact,
especially if they have business which
takes them upon the streets at night
1t is time to call a halt and light the
streets after the manner of modern
up-to-date Cities

country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in

nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci,

Chicago, H., Nov. 26.-(Special.)-
Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, none is better known or more
universally esteemed than Mr.. S. P.
Rush, conductor president of Holy
Name Court, No. 26.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of its ranks. were there
fore much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
tons and pills and powders. until his
stomach refused food. At last, his
local druggist. guided by the numerous
inquiries being made at his store for
DOdd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr.. Rush
to buy and try some. This he did, and
to his delight he was restored to health
and strength.
Mr.. Rush says that after commencing
the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills he felt
much better, but it took two months to
effect a cure.
II took nothing else but Dodd's Kid
ney Pills during that time, so l know
that I owe life and health to them"
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush it will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy that
has never failed to cure Bright's dis
ease.
Mr.. Rush is just now receiving the
congratulations of his friends. but al
ways finds time to say good word for
the medicine that saved his life.

the pain, and you sleep well.

and the answer comes in pitying

upon you so quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.
