GAME M EAT.
Flesh of Much Hunted Animals Is Apt
to Be Dis eased

Flesh of Much-Hunted Animals L. Apt
to Be Diseased.
The eating of high game is I'M
doubted1y attended with risk, and the
poisonous effects are probably due te
the toxins produced in. the earlier
stages Of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, of course, of hanging game
is that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than wheI
it is quite fresh. The ripening process
however, may mean the elaboration OF
the toxins. 1t has been stated that the
production of the characteristic flavori
of game is related directly to the
amount of sulphureted hydrogen Oh
su1phur-alcohol set free. but it II
rather repulsive to think that the deli.
cate flavor of the game is dependent
upon that invariable product of de-
composition of rotten eggs-Sulphur
eted hydrogen The smell evolved
during cooking of high game is evea
more disgusting. Fresh game some
times sets up mysterious, poisonous
symptoms, which has been attributed
to the fact of the game having beer
overturned and fatigued. Fatigue
products, indeed, have been separated
from overhunted game, which, when
injected into a healthy animal, have
produced marked poisonous effects
There is no doubt that fatigue prod
ucts under certain circumstances are
also elaborated in the human body and
give rise to species of self-poisoning
characteristic symptoms of which are
headache, stupor and gastric and in
testinal pains. The flesh of overrotten
cattle may prove poisonous from the
same cause This curious formation OF
poisonous products in the flesh of ami
mails through a state of terror or ex-
haustion is question well worth con-
sidering in relation to the wholesome
ness of animal foods and emphasizes
the Importance of staying animals in
tended for food in the most humane
way.

John Marshall, the fourth Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, the centennial of whose ap-
pointment was this week celebrated all
over the country, was born in Virginia
In 1755- His family was one of the
oldest in the colonies, his gradfather
having settled in Virginia in 1850. His
mother was Mary Isham Keith, a lineal
descendant of Robert Keith. who was
grand marshal OF the Scottish army
under Bruce. His father, Thomas Mar
shall, was a Virginia planter and a
man who was noted for his rigid up
rfghtness and his frankness in speech.
When young John Marshall was years
after, candidate for the Virginia leg
fslature from Fauqquier county, only
one vote was cast against him. When
the elder Marshall heard of this one
vote in opposition he declared that the
man who cast it could only have been
actuated by spite and malice and must
be punished" Forthwith he set out to
find the name of the single voter and
the next time he met him gave him a
sound thrashing
His Early Education.
John Marshall was educated at home
by his father and mother until he
reached the age of IL years. Then a
private tutor was procured for him.
At IA he was sent to the school in
Westmoreland county where Washing
ton had been a student, and at which
James Madison was one of his fellow
pupils. He staid there but a year, COM
ing back to the plantation at the end
of that time to resume his studies I'M

a college.

The desire has been very widely ex-
pressed among Miss Kings1ey's many
friends and among the still larger
number of those who knew her by her
work. writes our Liverpool CORE
spondent, to establish a permanent
memorial to her, says the London
Chronicle. It is in great measure
owing to Miss Kingsley's writings that
SO much interest has recently been
taken by the general public in west
Africa, and her researches into native
customs and institutions are unique
Liverpool, owing to its very large west
African interests, was constantly Wis
tied by Miss Kingsley Immediately
after her death a movement was there
fore set on foot by those merchants to
perpetuate her memory by the con-
struction of small hospital for treat
ing the numerous cases of tropical dis
eases that are landed daily at that
port 1t is intended that this hospital
should be associated with the Liver
pool school of tropical medicine. 9th
ers of Miss Kingsley's friends are anx-
ious that a memorial to her should
also be associated with the special
first object and occupied the greatest
part of her time and energy, and they
suggest that this work should be car
ried on by the Kingsley Society of
West Africa, established to stimulate
research and to collect from all the
sources information concerning west
Africa A representative gathering of
Miss Kingsley's friends in London,
LiyerpOOl and Manchester recant1v
met in London to discuss the matter.
and it was decided that the memorial
should include both the hospital and
the society, and that an appeal should
be made to the public for support to
both. Contributions for the Mary
Kingsley memorial hospital should be
sent to A. H. Milne, B 10, Exchange
buildings, Liverpool, and for the

When he was Is years old he began
the study Of law. Almost Immediately,
however. the war of the revolution
broke out and the young lawyer found
1t necessary to forsake his books for
the sword. He Joined a company of
Virginia volunteers and devoted him
self to training them for active service.
His father, Thomas Marshall, was APP

As Army Lie1Ffenanf.
Lieut.. Marshall early distinguished
himself for bravery and good judgment
In command of his men. He took part
In all the most important battles of
the war. He was exceedingly popular
in the army, and was often chosen to
act as umpire in disputes arising be-
tween both officers and men, Thus
at an extremely early age the judicial
temperament which afterward so
greatly distinguished him, was recog-
nized. In the army he became well
acquainted with Cen Washington and
with Col. Alexander Hamilton. Ham
ilton he had met before in a surveying
expedition in West Virginia, and for
him especially he formed an attach

ENJOYS were ordered to leave the coun-
try.
Elected 10 Congress.
Marshall returned to United States
in August, 1898, and Adams at once
offered him a seat on the Supreme
Bench, which he declined to accept. In
1893 he was, much against his own
wishes, elected to congress, in which
body he served a single term During
this term he delivered a speech which
is still regarded as one of the most
authoritative expositions of interna-
tiona1 law in its bearing on the extra
dition of citizens of a foreign country.
Before his term in Congress had ex-
pired he was made secretary of state
in the cabinet of President Adams, and
on JAM 20, 1901, he was nominated by
the president as chief justice OF the
supreme court The nomination was
promptly confirmed and Marshall took
his seat at once. During the same year
Princeton university conferred the de-
gree of doctor of laws upon him.
For thirty-five years he served as
chief justice, and, as has often been
said, his best and most enduring mon
ument consists of the thirty volumes
of reports of his decisions and of those
of the supreme court while he was at
it's head. In 1929 he, with Madison and
Monroe, served as a delegate to the
convention for revising the state con-
stitution of Virginia. For six years
more he remained on the bench of the
supreme court In the spring of 1885
he went to Philadelphia to seek medi-
cal advice and in that city he died.

Ar txi1ffam and Mary COLLEGE.
In 1880 Capt John Marshall was
sent back to Virginia to take charge
of any additional troops which might
be raised by that commonwealth, and
there he took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to attend the law lectures at
William and Mary College. In the
summer of that year he received a Ii
cense to practice law, but when Gen
Leslie began his invasion of the state,
Marshall went back to the army and
remained in the field until January,
1881. Then he resigned his commits

Almost Immediately the young SOL

In the spring of 1882 he was elected
to the Virginia House of Burgesses and
in the fall member of the executive
council of the state. In January of
1888 he married Mary Willis Amber,
daughter of the state treasurer. Her
mother had refused an offer of mar
riage from Thomas Jefferson to marry
her father, and it is a cuious matter OF
history that her fathers brother was
the successful sutton for the hand of
the beautiful Miss Cary, who refused
on at least two recorded occasions to
become the wife of George Washington.
Early Married Life.
After his marriage John Marshall
settled down to make his permanent

the youngest son of Mahomet. He is.

the Egyptians. He entered the army
of the khedive as a private, and soon
rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Then he led the revolt against Turkish
domination, and England and France

member of the same body from the dis

chiefly instrumental in securing the
ratification of the constitution of the
United States, which he afterwards did
SO much to expound. The value of his
services in this connection may be

of the forces opposed to the ratification
