Russian botanist has been deyotins
himself for some years. Now that ne
has achieved success he threatens 10
go to London and exhibit the results
OF his misdirected experiments. When
he arrives he will no doubt be invited
to explain the purposes for which no
considers that his sable blossoms
should be utilized. Since he can hardly
anticipate that they will be employed
for table decoration or for personal
adornment, it can only be supposed
that he intends to recommend them for
use at funerals. 1t is happily improO-
able. however, that English hortica-
turists will be anxious to disfigure then
gardens by cultiyating them, even fof
that purpose.

ORIGIN OF CONFECTIONERY.
Teade of Confectioner an Offshoot from
That of Apothecary.

Teade of Confectioner an Offshoot from
That of Apothecary.
The modern confectionery business Is
very large one, and it is Of old stand
ing. II we wished to trace it to its
origin we might have to go back not far
short of 500 years. 1t is about five cen
turtles since sugar was first imported
into this country, and it is probably not
much less than that since CONNECTIONS"
began to be concocted. They first ap-
peared In a medical form. Apothecar-
les, whose potions were at one time
very generally supposed to be effica-
cious just in proportion as they were
horribly nasty, took to the newly i'm
ported sugar as means of mitigating
the nauseOusness of their doses. They
mixed their drugs with 1t and coated
their bOluses. That seems to have been
the origin Of the sirups and medicated
candles, the cough drops and lozenges
of one sort and another that are now
so largely in demand. They were orig
inally cOncocted by the doctors, and for
many long years all sorts of "lollipops"
were medicinal only. Sugar was too
dear, and the generality of the people
were too poor to permit of its being
eaten for its own sake alone and as a
mere luxury.
Somewhere about a couple of GEN.
turies ago, however, there began to ap-
pear new development of the apothe.
cary's art. CONNECTIONS" began to be
made more or less apart from any
medicinal purpose, and merely because
people liked them. The confectioner's
business began to evolve as an offshoot
from the profession of the apothecary
and eventually became altogether a
separate thing, though the common
origin of the two is still indicated by
the sirups and pastiles and troches pre-
scribed by the doctors and the drops"
and lozenges and other things sold
among the sweet stuff of the confec-
tioner.-Chambers' Journal.

Electric Light FURNISHES His Meal

In a hole in the stone retaining wall
of lawn at the northwest corner of
Prospect avenue and Independence
boulevard lives an unusually large and
well-fed toad. An electric arc light
hangs over the corner, and at night it
attracts myriads of bugs and flies. 1t
Is then that the toad leaves his hole
and hops out across the granitoid walk
to where the insects, blinded by the
light fall upon the pavement and crawl
around. The toad sits, his eyes spar
king in the electric light like beads of
jet, till beetle or moth falls near
him and then he hops cautiously near
to 1t. His long, red tongue shoots out
with the quickness of a fash and the
insect disappears down his throat. 1t
takes a good many bugs to make full
meal for this toad, and often he is on
the pavement for more than an hour.
The toad is there every night and pass
ers-by stop to watch him. He keeps
out or the way of pedestrians and
when he goes back to his crevice in the
stone wall he moves lazily and with
short, self-saitsfied hops.-Kansas City
Star.

LIGHT AS ouRE FOR MEASLES.
Experiments Show that Sunshine VIII

Experiments Show that Sunshine wiz
Alleviate the Severity of Disease.
Recent experiments indicate that the
sun may be a potent remedial agent IN
the case Of persons attacked win
smallpox, scarlatlna and measles.
These experiments were made by Dr'
Finsen, of Copenhagen, and DR.. Chat-
lniere, of st. Mande, and so novel were
they that they have aroused q good
deal of discussion among the members
Of the Academy Of Medicine In Paris
DIR. Chatniere a short time ago treat
ed twelve children who had measles
according to this new method, Whlcn
Is scientifically known as photothera'
pie. Red light was the only cure when
he used, and this he made serviceable
In the following manner On the wln-
dows of the sick rooms he hung red
curtains and on the table near each
bed he placed lamp which gave forth
red light. He acted thus because ne
felt satisfied that the irritation of the
skin In cases of measles Is due to the
chemical rays of the solar spectrum,
or, In other words, to the ultra violet
rays, and not to the so-called caloric Oh
heat rays. If this were not SO, how ae-
count for the fact that the pustules and
scars are especially dep and marked
on the face and hands, which are the
very parts of the body that are most
exposed to the solar rays? The result
showed that he had net erred In ar
irving at this conclusion. His little pa
tients rapidly regained their health,
and the virtue that lies In red curtains
and red lamps is being extolled by
many physicians.
Impressed, like DR.. Chatiniere, by |
the fact that the influence of the solar
rays is especially manifested on the
faces and hands of patients, DR.. Fin
sen conceived the idea of subjecting |
persons suffering from smallpox to the
influence of ultraviolet rays, which |
reached them after the light had been
filtered through thick red curtains.
The result was that the little vesicles
or bladders gradually disappeared and
the patients did not suffer from the
customary fever and, Furthermore,
were not pockmarked. The ultraviolet
rays, indeed, in the case Of these pa
tients produced practically the same
effect as the red light in that of DIR.
Chatiniere's, the most notable tokens
of their efficacy being the absence of
fever and restlessness and the gradual
Of the eruptions before
coming to maturity. 1t was also no.
ticed that the rays had marked effect
on the maladies in so far as they af-
fected the bronchial tubes.
DR.. Finsen's method of cure has been
into France by DR.. Larat
and Is being used not only in cases Of
smallpox, but also in cases Of certain
forms Of skin diseases.

beauty and grace had spread afar, and
their hands were sought in marriage
by two OF the bravest Of the young
bucks. One day there came two rivals
of the Cayuse braves from another
uibe-two daring young Bannocks

tain himself So the two Bannocks
were very adroit. For many days as
guests they smoked the great pipe with
Chief Cougar Shirt. Not wishing to
arouse the jealousy OF their young
hosts, they looked not ON the chiefs
daughters. But when one day, when
most of the Cayuses were out hunting
and Cougar Shirt lay asleep, the two
Bannock braves each seized one Of the
twins, who had strayed from their
tepee, and mounting ponies galloped
away with them. Shrieks Of the prls-
oner maidens awakened their father.
He knew what their cries meant, and
taking down horn he summoned his
warriors to the pursuit. This was USE
less, for their ponies, tired from the
days chase, could not catch the fresh
er ones of the Bannocks. When these
two braves reached home with their
captiyes they were married to them
with great ceremony.
Chief Cougar Shirt, Indian-like, VOW
ed revenge. He sent runners to the |
neighboring Umatilla and Walla Walla
tribes, whose chiefs soon met the Cay
uses In a council, at which the three
nations formed an alliance and de-
clared war against the Bannocks. But |
before the Umatillas and the Walla |
Wallas could join their allies the Ban
nocks, 1000 strong, had almost exter-
minated the Cayuses and returned
home. The medicine man of the Cay
uses attributed their defeat to the
twins of Cougar Shirt, and since that
time till Tox-e-lox and A-lom-pum

HER ONLY INDIscReTloN

Mrs. Gladstone Never but Once Be
trayed knowledge of State Secrets.
Probably no more ideal relations
ever existed between a married pair
than those of the late Mrs. Gladstone
and her distinguished husband.
Throughout his long career In public
life she was his confidant and adviser,
and was intrusted with the weightiest
secrets of government.
1t is said that when Mr.. Gladstone
became a cabinet minister he said to
wife: Now, my dear, shall we agree
that shall tell you nothing so that you
can say nothing, or shall l tell you
everything and you agree to say moth
ingT Mrs. Gladstone chose the latter
alternative. Thereafter her husband
related to her everything that went on
In the cabinet and she never told any
thing except once.
AT one time two ministers were din
ing at Hawarden, and some reference
was made to cabinet matter. Mrs.
Gladstone started to say something
which revealed the fact that she knew
the secret. In an instant there was
flashed upon her from the brilliant
eyes of her husband one of those i'm
perious glances which gave to his usu-
ally benignant face a truly command
ing mien.
Mrs. Gladstone was so agftated by
her momentary slip that her usual COM
posure deserted her. When the dinner
was over she went up to the drawing
room and had a good old-fashloned CRY.
Then she wrote little note of apology
and sent 1t down to her husband, and
THE incident was closed" to quote the
language Of diplomacy.

Placer Mine ExoItemert.

Juneau has full fedged placer mine
excitement, according TO adyices
brought from the north by the steamer
Rosalie. When the vessel sailed from
the north July IS, stampede was on
to new placer diggings on Glacier bay.
about 100 miles distant. Some doubt
existed as to the placers really being
new discoveries. Not few believe
them to be the diggings found and oper-
ated many years ago by the Russians.
In any event the finds are most promis-
ing. 1t is claimed for them that an
experienced miner can make consider.
ably more than wages. Fully 200 peo.

neau alone to the scene of the new dis.
coveries. The bars in the mouth OF

MINES AND MINING
Americans Arc Not satisfied with the
Alaska Canadian Survey Lose
Good Territory.

Skagway, Alaska, July S0.-The
work of delimiting the provisional
boundary in the disputed Alaska Cana
dian territory having baen completed
IN that part crossing the Dalton trail
and touching the Porcupine district,
the Americans in the district find that
they have lost large part OF what
they believed was rightfully American
territory. The survey has been run
and the monuments set within the
last few weeks by o. II. Tittman, of
Washington, d. O., and W. F. King,
OF Ottawa, and assistants. who have
simply followed instructions as set
forth in the modus yivendi agreed to
Professionally some months ago by Sec
retary Hay, on the part OF the United
States, and the British representatives,
after the adjournment OF the joint high
commission.
The survey and demarkation OF the
line leaves nearly one-half of the Por-
cupine gold mines in the British terri
tory, and it has been the general opin.
ion for long time that the mines--in
fact, the entire Porcupine district
was on the American side. Much Of
the Dalton toll road leading to Porcu.
pine city now lies within Canadian ter.
ritory also; that is, is ON the Canadian
side OF the iron monuments set on the
provisional line.
The American miners in the Porcu.
pine having watched the development
OF the work Of delimiting and marking |
the boundary, were 10 aroused over the |
result OF so much mining district being
left on the British side that they were
not long in addressing q protest to
President Mckinley. Copies of the
protest have been sent to the chambers
of commerce of Seattle, Skagway, San
Francisco and Portland, with request
for cooperation.
The commission will be in the vicin.
ity OF Skagway month, delimitiDg
the provisional line ON White Pass and
Chilkoot Pass. The Porcupine placer
mines, it is estimated, will yield $780,
600 this year. Work Of sluicing. hy-
draulicking and other kinds, of mining
is carried ON in the district.
