An incident at the siege of Rouen, in
1891, shows that red was looked upon
as the English color, for in mentioning
the death Of one of the Earl of Essex's
captains it is remarked that the French
man who shot him got near enough to
do so by putting on the red coat of Il
dead English soldier. In 1G43 the
kings life guards, as also the queens
and Prince Rupert's, wore red coats.

THE NEW SH1MRnCK.

Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger had her first trial spin on this side yes- terday, and she acquitted herself well. She showed herself we'll able to carry her sail, and she appeared to be quite as stiff as either the Constitution or the Columbia. Many of the experts who watched her performance thought her pointing" was as close as that of the Herreshoff boats, and she exhibited other merits calculated to make the rooters for the United States thought ful. She will go out for a long trial spin to-day if the weather is right.
 It is evident that the new Shamrock will make herself respected in the conn., ing race, and there is a possibility that she may do more. Some of the yacht ing sharps" of this country are already gloomy, but it is too soon to wag the head in despair. It is certain that there are good yacht builders in this country, and 1t is equally certain that there are good yacht sailers here The cup Is used to staying here and ancient habit is not easily broken.

supremacy owing to the more rapid progress. of the United States. do not know whether the actual supremacy has yet passed from us; but I do know that 40,000000 people, cramped up in an overcrowded island, cannot reasonably expect to retain forever the industrial leadership of the world against 70,0o0,- 900 people not inferior in intelligence and occupying a territory of almost boundless extent and natural richness. Nor is the industrial future that lies before the American people any new discovery. Fifty years ago English free-traders clearly foresaw the inevit- able expansion of the United States and wisely pointed out the futility of hampering our industries in the vain hope of staying their progress, The only marvel is that this great continent has not sooner wrested from our little island the title of supremacy The loss of that title when it comes may hurt our vanity, but it will not touch our solid prosperity.
 This is coming out as strong as MT. Tapley, another Englishman, was &C., customed to do when difficulties beset him. Mr. Cox is evidently the right man In the right place.

 | White arsenic is the form in which
 arsenic is taken by the peasants of | Styria and the Tyrol. Professor
 Schallgrueber of Gaetz was the first | to call attention to this practice in a
 report which he made In 1922 to the Austrian Government on the cause of | the numerous deaths from arsenic ! poisoning iii those districts. He found 1 that arsenic was kept in most of the | houses in Upper Styria under the name | of "hydrach," evidently corruption | of "huttenrauch," or furnace smoke His statements made were subse- quently confirmed from personal ob- servat ton by pr. Nc Clagen of Edin- burgh, but for many years afterward the arsenic eaters were generally dis believed in. and it was not till 1860 that c. Heise published convincing evidence. Arsenic is principally eaten by hunters and woodcutters, with the ob- ject of warding off fatigue and improv ing their staying powers. Owing to
 the fact that the sale of arsenic IS H.
 legal in Austria without a doctors
 certificate 1t is difficult to obtain de-
 finite information of a habit which is kept as secret as possible. Ac- cording to Dr. Lorenzo, in that dis
 trict the arsenic is taken fasting, usu- ally in a cup of coffee, the first dose being minute but increased day by day, until it sometimes amounts to the enormous dose of twelve or fifteen grains. He found that the arsenic eaters were usually long lived though liable to sudden death. They have a very fresh youthful appearance and are seldom attacked by infectious diseases.
 After the first dose the usual symp- toms of slight arsenic poisoning are evident, but these soon disappear on continuing the treatment.
 In the arsenic factories in Salzberg it Is stated that workmen who are not arsenic eaters soon succumb to the fumes. The manager of one of these works informed MT. Heise that he had been medically advised to eat arsenic before taking up his position. He con- sidered that no one should begin the practice before twelve years old nor after thirty, and that in any case after fifty years of age the daily dose should be gradually reduced since otherwise sudden death would ensue. If a con- f1rmed arsenic eater suddenly attempts to do altogether without the drug he succumbs to the effects of arsenic poisoning. The only way to obviate this is gradually to acclimatize +ba h,y raIuoi1p thn dnca frnyr, day to day. As another evidence of the cumulative properties of arsenic It is to note that when the in Upper Styria are opened the bodies of the arsenic eaters can be by their almost perfect state of preservation, due to the gradu- ally accumulated arsenic.-Science Gossip.

HONEYMOON QUARREL.
In English in France and How It Was
 Ended

Ended
 They were on their honeymoon and had chosen a little inn in the south of France, known to the husband from his student days, for the spending of 1t. The little village suited the man in every way, and while the scenery, roses and quaintness appealed to the bride most pleasantly, these qualities were not what put the locality high up in her favor. She was a foolish little bride, very sweet and very young and not likely to get over her sweetheart days. She was very fond of billing and coong, and the notion that she could say all manner of endearing things in English without provoking a single understanding smile in the face of the French speaking fnnkeeper and his neighbors, particularly pleased her.
 One day they were at the long table in the inn kitchen, and opposite to them, at the other end sat very French looking Catholic father. The little bride was simply gurgling.
 "Oh Henry" she said, Hook at the fat old priest at the other end. I won der if he'll guess we've just been mar ried? He has a good face, thought he is so fat, 90 well-fed looking. l wonder why they're all so stout?'
 1T don't know: I'm sure?'
 Well, dearie, isn't it fun to sit here and talk all sorts of nonsense with a minister right under our noses, not knowing what we are doing? You great big boy, wish there was some way of giving you d kiss in English that he wouldn't understand. I'd give you one now Just think we've been married two weeks and we haven't had q quar- rel yet. I don't believe we'll ever quar- rel, do you, my love? How could two people who love each other so ever dis agree? Don't you think I act just like an old married woman? How many Jumps of sugar do you take, dear? I can't seem to remember"
 ''Three, my love"
 Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if the good father at the other end was un- derstanding what we are saying-our dear little love-nothings? It's so nice to be able to say just what my heart tells me to without fear. Don't you like it, Henry?"
 "Oh, yes, my dear."

----------------------------- SOME SHARP pENGLISHMEN

There are sharp people who are not Yankees. It is related that a big Eng fish steamship firm entered into an agreement with the government to run fortnightly line of steamships between Bristol and Kingston and to carry the
 mails for a subsidy of $200,000 a year, one-half to be paid by the imperial gov ernment and the other half by the col ony One clause of the agreement pro- vided that the company must carry at least 10000 punches of bananas month from Jamaica to England and with the opening of the new market the Ja- maica planters saw a bright vision of wealth rolling in upon them. But with the operation of the first steamship the planters saw the vision vanish more quickly than it had appeared. The steamship owners secured possession of number of large plantations, and only from those Is the fruit shipped, unless the private planters are willing to sell for prices that are almost ruinous, and, in fact, much less than can be procured from American fruit merchants. In Jamaica, it is said, the steamship ship ping agents will not pay more than 70 or 50 cents for a bunch of about 120 bananas, while when they reach Eng land the price Is advanced at retail to S2.50 a bunch. The firm, with the sub- sidy behind it, can now defy competi- tion, and absolutely controls the Eng fish market for the fruit and the means of transportation. In consequence the lot of the Jamaica banana planter is much worse now than it was before the steamship line began to run. Indigna- ton on the part of the Jamaicans was aroused a short time since by propo- sition from the firm to increase the sail ings of the steamships to weekly for an additional subsidy of $100,0 and vigorous protest was sent to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain against it. The reply of Mir Chamberlain is believed to have been to the effect that he had been fooled badly enough as it was, and he did not care to have any more of the same kind of business
