QUAY AND SHOUP.

Roberts of Utah was uncere-
moniously bounced from the house
of representatives because he had
too much wife. Senator Clark of
Montana will get his exeat because
he was too promiscuous in his
lavish use of money to pave his
way to the senate, and now Quay
of Pennsylvania has been sat on
by the dignified members of the
"American House of Lords" be-
cause his penchant for shaking
plum trees sickened the decent
men of his party in his state, I'M
til their stomachs turned against
his methods, political and other
wise, and they revolted at the dis
grace of his recognition as repre-
sentative of his state in senatorial
halls.
Senator Shoup, Idaho's dis
grace, voted to seat Quay, going
so far as to change his position on
the question of seating senators on
appointment by governors, he hav-
ing voted against seating Corbett
of Oregon. Shoup has long since
ceased to be representative oil
Idaho's interests. His federal
oAice-holders will be his only sup
porters for reelection in this
county.
Senator Shoup voted for the gold
standard bill which has placed the
finances of this country at the ten
der mercies of the bankers trust.
He voted for the Porto Rican tariff
bill which gives the sugar and to-
bacco trusts rake off of IS pc,
cent. on all goods sent to the island.
Now he has voted to seat that
notorious swindler, Quay, in the
United States senate. Senator
Heitfeldt voted against the gold
standard bill. He voted against
the Porto Rican tariff bill. His
vote was recorded against seating
Quay. Who is the representative
Of the eastern plutocrats, and who

F1ah Poisoning.

In the United States fish poisoning is
most frequently due to decomposition
in canned fish. The most prominent
symptoms are nausea. vomiting and
purging. Sometimes there is scarla-
tinous rash, which may cover the
whole body. The writer has studied
two outbreaks of this kind Of fish poi
soning. In both instances canned salm-
on was the cause of the. trouble AL
though discussion Of the treatment of
food poisoning is foreign TO this paper,
the writer must call attention to the
danger in the administration of OPT
ates in cases of poisoning with canned
fish.
Vomiting and purging are efforts on
the part of nature to remove the poi
son and should be assisted by the stom-
ach tube and by irrigation of the colon.
In one of the cases seen by the writer
large doses of morphine had been ad-
ministered in order to check the vom-
iting and purging and to relieve the
pain. In this case death resulted. The
danger of arresting the elimination of
the poison in all cases of food poison
ing cannot be too emphatically con-
demned.-Victor G. Vaughan in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Th. sailor and the Figurehead,

Old sailors sigh as they wander
around the water front these days and
note the disappearance of the famous
old figurehead, which used to be the
delight of every clipper ships crew.
They were huge wooden images of al
most everything imaginable. but the
female form predominated. Many fig
ureheads were to represent the fair
one after whom the ship was named
and there is an old sea yarn about a
sailor who fell in love with the hand
some wooden female which adorned
his ship. He used to slip down the
dolphin striker and hang on there
while the ship bowed and lurched,
talking love to the figurehead. Finally,
according to forecastle tradition, the
figure sneezed, and the sailor, who was
known as Lovely Mike" because he
was the ugliest man that ever set foot
on a ships deck, nearly fell into the
sea. He recovered his senses and said,
"Did you speak?''
mo, l didn't speak," returned the
figure 81 just sneezed to attract your
attention. You're known as Lovely
Nike amt you? You're a married
man, amt you? And your wife has to
take in washing both when you're at
home and when you're away. because
she can never get a cent out of you.
Mr.. Farmer, just climb back to the
forecastle and don't bother any more
about me-" ..
This rather curt interview is alleged
to have worked a marked change in
Mike, and when he got home he aston
ished his wife by giving her couple
