Community of Arsenic Eaters.

Although the sale of arsenic is pro-
hibited In that region. white arsenic
Is eaten freely by the peasants Of
Syria and the Tyrol. Because of Its
efficacy In warding of fatigue and en-
ablIns those engaged in hard physical
work to endure the strain, 1t is an ar
ticle Of daily diet among the hunters
and woodcutters of that region. A
district physician states that the ar
senic is usually taken before meals in
q cup of coffee. and while the first dose
IL minute, the amount taken daily is
slowly increased until 1t reaches an
average Of twelve or fifteen grains
Those working in the arsenic factories
Of Salzburg are said to become arsenic
eaters to avoid being overcome by the
fumes of the drug. Immunity from
infectious diseases, a fresh, youthful
appearance and longevity are some of
the advantages tie arsenic eater usu-
ally enjoys. but there Is algayr the
danger Of sudden death.-Detroit Free

v,o,ou. Polite. Anee. tho Schools.

In the large cities of this country
there are more than 10000 children
who cannot receive the benefits-of the
public schools because there are not
enough buildings. Even Boston, the
best equipped of American cities,
needs 27 more buildings. The showing
in all cities this fall is worse than
ever. The accommodations have not
kept pace with the increase in popula-
ton. 1t is disgrace to us an, and, as
usual, 1t has its explanation in poll
tics. What our cities need is fewer
officeholders and more school teach
ers.-Saturday Evening Post.

SCOUT IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Major Burhham Finds It DimcuIt to
Avoid Being seon by Beers.
At Zand River Maj. F. r. Burnham,
the American scout, spent an after
noon inside a Kafnr hut, while on a
bench outside were ranged a number
OF Boer officers watching the move
ments of the British in the distance.
The scout, with his eye at hole In
the thin mud plaster wall, an inch
from the head of the nearest Boer,
was likewise watching the proceed
ings. There was only one room In
the hut, and when some of the Beers
decided to come and sit inside, the
scout had to jump for pile OF skins In
one corner and lie motionless for two
hours, while one OF the Beers sat 80
close that he could have touched
Burnham without rising from his seat.
The incident illustrates one of Maj.
Burnhams maxims. "Invisibility," he
says. 'Is immobility; but" he adds.
''it Is not easy to remain motionless
unless you keep an eye on the man
you wish to avoid. When you lose
sight Of him your Imagination is like
- ~ oSt khO dPpCA manu- "a yO'-A S--o
ment-and your nerves have to be in
good condition then" At another
time he lay two days and two nights
in an ant-bear hole. just big enough
to keep him concealed from neigh
boring commando. He was accom-
panied by one black boy laden with
explosives, who also had to use the
same kind Of shelter. The diet and
the hard travelling were too much for
the black boy. who had been chosen
for his great strength and endurance.
30 Burnham took the guncotton with
which his companion was laden and
went on alone, while the boy strug-
gled back to the British lines. When
the Beers moved on, Burnham blew
up the railroad between Pretoria and
Johannesburg. enabling the British to
capture number of engines and cars
at johannesburg. He was twelve days
on the expedition. living the last four
days on raw mealies only.-Pearson's

THE SHORT SKIRT.
Rsaction in England Against Dust-Rais-
ing Garments-

Reaction In England Against Dust-Rais-
ing Garments.
Is there going to be reaction at
last against the long skirt trailing on
the ground? The English were the
nrst. good many years ago now, to
protest, to give effect to their protests.
and. indeed, to change the fashion.
But the change did not last long.
Short skirts produced pretty boots.
and We heard great deal about COM
mon sense. But common sense and
ladies' dress do not always combine.
Paris restored the trailing dress, and
English ladies abandoned common
sense, not for the first time, in favor
Of the Paris mode. The Parisians, in
deed, knew what they were about. AS
. rule, they have not pretty feet, but
they have a peculiarly graceful way of
catching up their dress from behind,
and 1t is an art which our country
women have never mastered. English
ladies inelegantly clutch at and bunch
their petticoats, while the French we'll
considered grip Just lifts the rim of
the long dress from the ground and
gives pretty disposition to Its folds.
NOW, however, comes the change, and
1t comes not from England, but from
America. In Switzerland this year
many ladies are wearing short-in-
deed, very short-skirts. OF course,
for ascents, or even for small climbs,
the gain is considerable. When you
are trusting to your alpenstock you
have not time to think much about
the rim of your petticoats. And you
don't. But perhaps that is not all.
For, though American girls constitute
a very fair proportion Of Swiss tour
lists, still they mostly keep in the val
leys, where they are seen to great ad-
vantage, and rarely do much in the
Alpine peaks. But the Americans are
a practical people. and short skirts are
obviously the sensible thing to wear.

tance South Of johannesburg.
I: London, May 31.-On the .anniver-
sary of Lord Roberts entry into 10,
hannesburg the country has been
startled, by the receipt of news Of
desperate fighting and heavy losses
within 40 miles of the Gold Reef City.
The battle at Vladfontein.s on the Dur
an-Johannesburg railroad just report
ed by Lord Kitchener, is the most Sc
rious engagement since General Glenn
ents' reverse at Magliesburg. 1t
shows General Delarey is in no way
daunted by the capture of II of his
guns by General Darlington six weeks
ago. The garrison of Vladfontein, ap-
parently largely composed Of yeoman-
ry, had 174 men put out of action.
That their assailants came to close
quarters and suffered heavily is
shown by the number of dead left on
tho Aeld. ~. r.
The dispatch from Lord Kitchener,
dated Pretoria, May 30, Is as foll~ws:
General Nixon's force at Vladfon-
tein was attacked yesterday by De-
larey's force and there was severe
fighting. The enemy was eventually
driven off with heavy loss, leaving 35
dead. I regret to say our casualties
also were severe. The killed and
wounded numbered ia. Four off GERS
were killed." IL. ~
