be Unborn or acquired by long association

ARSENIC EATERS.

AHoENIC IA GNSs
Many of Them Found Among the
Peasants o. Syria and the Tyrol.
White arsenic is the form in which ar
senic Is eaten By the peasants OF Styria
and THE TyroI. Professor Schallgrueber
Of Graetz was the first to call attention 10
this practice in a report which he made
ia 1872 to the Austrian government on
the cause Of the numerous deaths from
arsenic poisoning in those districts. He
found that arsenic was kept in most OF
the houses in. upper Syria under the
name OF shyIrach.s evidently a corrup-
ZION Of .Huttenraueh OF furnace smoke.
His statemenk we're subsequently CON
frmed from personal observation by q
Or. Michigan Of Edinburgh. but for
many years afterward the arsenic eaters
we're generally disbelieyed in. and il was
not till 1860 that c. Heisch published
convincing evidence.
Arsenic is principally eaten by hunters
and wcodcutfers with the object OF ward
Ing off fatigue and improving their stay
ing powers. Owing TO the fact that the
sale Of arsenic Is Illegal in Austria with
out a doctors certificate II is difficult 10
obtain definite information OF a habit
which Is kept as secret as possible. Ae-
eording to a DIR. Lorenzo in that district
the arsenic is taken fasting. usually In
cup Of coffee. the first dose being minute.
but Increased day by day ustil it some
times amounts TO the enormous dose of
10 or Is grains. He found that the ar
senic eaters were usually long lived,
though liable TO sudden death. They
have very fresh. youthful appearance
and are seldom attacked by infectious dis
eases. After the first dose the usual
symptoms of slight arsenic poisoning are
evident, but these soon disappear on con-
tinuing the treatment.
In the arsenic factories in SalZburg II
Is stated that We men who are not ar
senic eaters soon suceumb TO the fumes.
The manag ger OF one of these works In
formed Mr.. Heisch that he had been
medically advised TO eat arsenic before
taking up his position. He considered
that no one should begin the practice be-
fore II years old nor after 30 and that In
any case after 80 years OF age the daily
dose should be gradually reduced, since
otherwise sudden death would ensue. IL
q confirmed arsenic eater suddenly at
tempts to do altogether without the drug,
he immediately sueeumbs to the effects OF
arsenic poisoning. The only way TO OBJ
viate this Is gradually to acclimatize the
system by reducing the dose from day to
day. As further evidence of the cumula-
tive properties Of arsenic, it is interesting
to note that when the grayeyards in up
per Syria are opened the bodies Of the
arsenic eaters can be distinguished by
their almost perfect state Of preservation,
due to the gradually accumulated arsenic.

TWO PRAIRIE TERRoRS.
The Havoc That Is Wrought by Fire
and SnOwstorms.

One of the most terrible OF the dangers
encountered by the homesteaders on the
prairie has been the prairie fire. Its be
ginning was a trihe-a careless brand
from a hunters campfire perhaps-but
the outcome is dreadful and momentous
indeed.
At first there is only a low bank of
dark cloud on the horizon. An hour later
or less the cloud, like a black band
across the sky, has risen half way To
the zenith, and along the lower edge of
il runs a fringe of visible flame.
1t is quick work then. Nobody who
has not seen full fedged prairie fire can
realize its immensely, its tremendous rate
of progress, which Is swifter than that
OF the fastest horse, and its power Of de-
struction. The mass OF heated air
thrown up from it causes great sue
ton. producing a wind which follows the
fire and pushes the column of smoke to
the front.
When there is time enough, fire is
started in the grass toward the approach
ing fire, 50 as to make burned space
that will check the coming flames. II
there be not time for that, a fire is start
ed in the same direction, so as to leave
in its wake a space in which shelter may
be found.
Great snowstorms, accompanied by cold
waves, in the east are commonly called
blizzards. but they are not at all like the
western blizzard. In a real blizzard the
air Is filed with a peculiar yapor Of
snow which drifts before the wind at
the rate OF 40 to 60 miles an hour. The
yapor is SO dense that in it the traveller
can hardly see his hand before his face.
A person caught abroad in blizzard
Is In dreadful plight indeed. The snow
drifts through his clothing and beats d.
rectiy against his skin. No clothing,
however thick. will keep it out. Thus
he is subjected 10 dreadful distress, but
what causes most Of the deaths that oc-
cur in billiards Is that the snow yapor
is carried into the lungs in breathing
and paralyzes those organs. Often 1t
has happened that man has yentured
ont OF his house few yards TO the barn
and in returning has fallen dead before
reaching his MISUNDERSTANDING Even.

How CARLYLE Received Him.

visitors was that which Carlyle gave
George Gillian. Gilfillan was quite
literary character a generation ago. His
books were widely read, and his Litter
airy Portraits" were especially popular
with the young ladies. know OF many
girls who slept with these volumes under
their pillows. Gilfllan was a lecturer as
well as writer. He appreciated his
popularity and had very good opinion
of George Gilfllan. He called one day
at Mr.. Car,yle's, and his knock was re-
sponded TO by Carlyle himself. As Car
lyle opened the door and stood before
him GILLIAN introduced himself with
grandiloquent bow and said:
II am George Gilfillan, and you arc
Mr.. Carlyle. suppose. ] have been lee
turing about you all over England"
Carlyle looked at him half a moment
and then. throwing back his shaggy
name, blurted out. "What the dickens
did you lecture about me for?" and slam
med the door in his face.
