Poisonous Effects of weariness,

The eating of high" game is I'M
doubtedly attended with risks, and th,,
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, of course, of hanging game
is that the flesh becomes tender aud
decidedly more digestible than wheE
1t is quite fresh. The ripening poo
ess, however, may mean the elabora-
ton of toxins.
1t has been stated that the, produc-
ton of the characteristic havors of
game is related directly to the amount
of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur
alcohol set free, but 1t is rather re-
pulsive to think that the delicate flavor
Of game is dependent upon that invari-
able product of decomposition of rot
ten eggs-sulphureted hydrogen. The
smell evolved during cooking of high"
game Is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
FERROUS poisonous symptoms which
have been attributed to the fact of the,
game having been overhunted and
fatigued. Fatigue products indeed
have been separated from overhurted
game which, when injected into a
healthy animal, have produced marked
poisonous effects. There is no doubt
that fatigue products under certain cir
cumstances are also elaborated in the
human body and give rise to a species
OF self poisoning, characteristic symp-
toms of which are headache, stupor
and gastric and intestinal pains. The
flesh of overdriven cattle may prove
poisonous from the same cause.

Unused Railroad Tickets.

Some men with unused railroad tick
cts on their hands sell them to scalp
ers while others 60 to the railroad
company that issued them and obtain
their value in money. Most persons,
however, do neither and accept the loss
when the ticket is worth less than
dollar. Indeed many persons do not
realize that the railroad companies
stand ready to redeem unused tickets
even of small value, so that the COM
panies must be richer by many thou
sands Of dollars year through this
ignorance.
Every railroad ticket bears the name
of the general passenger agent and of
the general manager Of the road. 1t is
a simple matter to inclose the ticket
with letter directed to the general
passenger agent asking him to refund
the money paid and explaining the rea-
son why the ticket is left unused In the
hands of the purchaser. 1t is courte-
GUS to inclose stamped envelope in
which the money may be returned.
When all these things have been
done, the company generally acknowl-
edges the receipt of the ticket holders
communication and promises to inves-
tigate the matter. The investigation
consists in the proper identification of
the ticket by the agent who sold it and
a little bookkeeping to set the accounts
right. Then the purchaser receives a
check for the amount due from the
railroad company along with a letter
requesting acknowledgment. = New

A party of six brawny men were en-
gagged In an animated discussion at Nc.
KEGS Rocks. 1t was noticed that five

the Pressed Steel Car shop work one
inside of the car and one outside. The
man inside shOves the riyets through,
and the man outside swings the ham,

they work fast. Often the rivet won't tit,
and IL the man inside Of the car happens
to be new at the work he sticks his lin
ger through the hole to learn what Is
wrong. The man outside promptly
smashes the finger with his sledge. He
doesn't do 1t purposely. but he works
so rapidly that he can't tell blacken-

knows his error until he sees the blood

New York, Nov. 13.-Marcus DAILY,
one of the leading mine owners of the
world, died In the Hotel Netherland at
s o'clock yesterday morning, aged six
ty. Dilation of the heart and Bright's
disease of the kidneys, with resultant
complications, We're the immediate
cause of death, though Mr.. Daly's Ill
ness dated back several years.
He had suffered severely during the
last two months, but the end was pain
less. While he was surrounded by
members of his family, his life went
out so peacefully that only the physi-
clans in attendance knew that he had
found rest.
Marcus DAILY was born in Ireland in
1912. He came to the United States
early In life and since 1876 had been II
citizen of Montana. He became gen
eral manager of the Alice silver mine
and later came into control of the An
aconda copper mine. Al the time OF
his death he was president OF the
Amalgamated Copper Company.
No mining property has achieved
greater fame MS Il producer of divi.
dcnds than the famous Anaconda.
Originally bought as II silver mine.
it became famous for It's copper and
to It both DAILY and Clark largely owe
their vast fortunes.
In politics Mr.. DAILY was n Demo-
crat. His business and political ri
vnlry with w. A. Clark for the past
twelve years has attracted national ut.
tention.
