Stephen A. Douglas, although not
recognized as such by the craft, was a
one time printer. The story OF how he
and "Long John" Wentworth came to-
gether on printing proposition is still
afloat, but in such close quarters that
it is not often heard. Mr.. Wentworth
was printing The Democrat in Chicago
in 1888 and struggling to remove an
Indebtedness Of about $4,000. Douglas
called on him one day and said that he
had some handbills that must be print
ed at once.
"All right" answered Mr.. Went
worth, "but the facilities Of this office
are limited. Do you want ten or hum
dred Of these bills"
The Little Giant" said he believed
200 or perhaps more would be needed.
every WE'LL" was the response. "You
will have to turn printer yourself II
you expect to get them today"
The bill was set up and placed on the
hand press Then Douglas was given
special instructions how to handle the
Ink roller. A big apron was put on
him, and he performed the mental
work of roller boy, linking the types
while Mr.. Wentworth worked the
press.

chair coolies use hat something like
their employers, but fatter, cheaper
and without button or feather. The
boatmen have a storm hat made Of rat
tan and bamboo, which is never less
than a yard in diameter.
A servant who is scribe and valet
combined is marked by something that
looks like a two stored or three sto-
ried cooks cap of four sides. The pre-
vailing color Of the structure Is YER

made by fastening long cloth Of
grayish yellow hue around the head
and allowing the ends to fall down

other style covers the head, temple,

I II Is one Of the peculiarlties OF the
Chinese that, while they have develop
III elaborate PHILOSOPHERS, none Of them
62S lod to any confidence IN the uni
formity of nature. Neither the people
nor theit rulers have any fixed opinion
II to the causes Of rainfall. The plan
In some provinces when the need OF
rain is felt Is to borrow a god from a
nx,ghboring district and petition him
for the desired rain. II his answer Is
satisfactory, he Is returned to his home
with every mark of honor; otherwise
he may be put out In the sun as hint
70 wake up and do his duty. A bunch
of willow Is usually thrust into his
hand, as willow Is sensitive to mois-
ture.
Another plan in extensive use is the
building Of special temples In which
are wells containing several iron tab
let's. When there Is a scarcity of rain,
q messenger starts out with tablet
marked with the date of the journey

the petition. Arriving at another city,
he pays a sum of money and Is allow
ed to draw q new tablet from the well,
throwing in his own by way of ex-
change. On the return Journey he Is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night. Some
times he passes through districts as
greatly in need of rain as his own.
Then the people in these places way
lay him and, temporarily borrowing his
tablet, get the rain intended for anoth-
er place.
Prayers are usually made in the fifth
and sixth months when the rainfall Is
always due, and limit Of ten days
Is set for their effective operation. Un-
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time. When the
prayers are In progress, the umbrella.
among other objects, comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article at that time.

will let the hen do all the work OF

Others, again, are perfect gentlemen In

Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving in a quiet, modest

DEATH BY ARSENIC.
The Way This Poison Acts Upon the

When single dose OF arsenic in SUI.
fcient quantity to be felt has been TAX
en-, colicky pains, bowel disorder and
perhaps nausea result. In the course
Of an hour after a poisonous dose has
been taken an intense burning pain Is
felt In the esophagus and stomach.
This spreads to the entire anterior por.
ton Of the lower part Of the trunk. A
sense Of construction at the throat and
an acrid, metallic taste accompany the
pain. Then vomiting and relaxation OF
the bowels begin. AS the case pro-
crosses the symptoms increase In In
tensity. Then comes thirst that wa
ter will not allay, although 1T appar-
emily increases the stomach disturb
ance. The victim groans and writhes.
Now he implores the doctor to save
him. Then he begs to be killed and put
out Of pain. The extremlties become
icy. The pulse Is small, feeble and fire.
Quent. and the breathing Is labored,
embarrassed and painful because of
abdominal tenderness. The surface Of
the body becomes dark and Of that
blush color that medical men call cy-
anosed. Violent cramps add their tor
ture, exhaustion becomes collapse, con-
vulslons or coma ensues, and death
ends the agony. This torture lasts
sometimes from five to twenty hours.
In some cases these symptoms occur,
but in modified form, and the doctor
will apparently get the better of the
disease. The remission will be but for
a day or two. Then the abdomen will
swell, and icy GOODNESS will pervade
the frame. Shivering will become pro-
nounced trembling, then cramps, con-
vulsions and death.

Tho Force of Cyclones.

Careful estimates Of the force Of
cyclone and the energy required to
keep a full fledged hurricane in active
operation reveal the presence Of pow
er that makes the mightiest efforts Of
men appear as nothing in comparison.
"A force fully equal to over OO0OO,000
horsepower was estimated as develop
cd In West Indian cyclone. This Is
about fifteen times the power that can
be developed by all the means within
the range of mans capabilities during
the same time. Were steam, water,
windmills and the strength of all men
and all animals combined they could
not at all approach the tremendous
force exerted.
