Bernhardt strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about. She knew the phrase began
with "ManQue." but the rest Of 1t was
lost In the general hubbub.. For full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah. muttering things below her

Poison Proof. People.

There are entire communities of Dol.
son proof people who partake of doses
Of white arsenic with as much zest as
the average person partakes Of meal.
Chief among these singularly gifted
people are the Syrian and Corinthian
shepherds who inhabit the districts of
sLamprecht, Salzburg, Hartberg, Leo
ben, Oberzeirung and the Erzgebirge
mountains The sturdy mountaineers
consider that arsenic improves their
wind for channels climbing.
Some years ago DR.. Knapp put two
OF these men through their PAGES be-
fore the German Society OF Physicians
assembled ut Gratz. The one ate six
grains Of white arsenic, or enough to
kill three men, without experiencing
the slightest inconvenience. The other
partook of four grains Of yellow arse-
mic. or orpiment with equal impunity.
It was explained that. seeing the good
effect Of the drug upon the coats and
condition Of their flocks, many Of these
shepherds start the practice under the
Impression that taken in moderation 1t
Is good for human beings also. 81.
Usually started with small weekly
dose spread upon bread and butter, the
embryo arsenic eater has to undergo
very severe test of his devotion to the
drug. Violent sickness and burning
pains accompany its first use, and the
drug speedily asserts its fatal power
oVr its devotee. "a
Any attempt to leave of the drug is
generally fatal The women Of these
arsenic eating districts are famous Tor
their beautiful compilations and luxurt-
ant tresses.

Tax Gases Numerous,

The main item of interest at the May
term of court, which convenes May 27,
will be the trial of what has become
known as the tax ferret cases. While
about $4,000 of back taxes have been
paid into the county treasury, the num-
ber who have liquidated does not in
clude many of the heavier delinquents.
The latter, as rule, have determined
to fight the collection of the taxes In
the courts. OF these 80 have already
filed their appeals in the Office Of the
clerk of the courts. The tax ferrets
have likewise taken the initiative in 9
number of cases and have begun nine
teen suits for collection. The petitions
in these latter cases were filed, Monday,
and are only the first installment, 1t be-
ing the intention to begin suits against
all who have received notice and have
declined or failed to call and settle.
Presumably test cases will be made
upon the points Of law involved, after
which many Of the cases can be settled
without coming to trial. independence
