ARSENIC EATERS.
Many of Them Found Among the
peasants of styria and the Tyroi.

White arsenic is the form in which ar
senic Is eaten by the peasants OF Styrla
and the Tyrol. Professor Schallgrueper
Of Graetz was the first to call attention 10
This practice, in a report which he made
h 1900 TO the Austrian government on
the cause of the numerous deaths from
arsenic poisoning in those districts. ne
found that arsenic was kept In most Oh
the houses in upper Syria under the
name Of "hydrach," evidently corrup-
tion of "Huttenrauch," or furnace smoke.
His statements were subsequently con-
ermed from personal observation by
Or Michigan of Edinburgh, but for
MANY years afterward the arsenic eaters
were generally disbelieved in, and it was
not till 1860 that G. Heisch published
convincing evidence.
Arsenic is principally eaten by hunters
and woodcutters 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 it Is difficult TO
obtain definite information OF a habit
which Is kept as secret as possible. Ac-
cording to 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 until it some
times amounts to the enormous dose or
IL or Is grains. He found that the ar
senic eaters were usually long lived,
though liable to sudden death. Ihey
have a 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 1t
Is stated that workmen who are not ar
senic eaters soon succumb to the fumes.
The manager 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 IL years old nor after 80 and that In
any case after so years Of age the daily
dose should be gradually reduced, since
otherwise sudden death would ensue. II
confirmed arsenic eater suddenly at
tempts to do altogether without the drug,
he Immediately succumbs 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, 1t is interesting
| to note that when the graveyards 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.

An English sunerstltlon.

A cure for hydrophobia in many Eng
lish villages is claimed to lie in the mad
dog itself. Some years ago n man was
bitten by a mad dog in a Warwickshire
village, and the dog was buried. The
man. Notwithstanding the fact that the
wound had been cautcrized and treated
by the local doctor, began TO exhibit signs
of hydrophobia.
The villagers at once dug up the car
cass of the dog. Its liver was extracted
and fried before fire. The cooked frag-
ment was then given TO the unfortunate
man, who ate it, firmly believing that in
SO doing he would be cured. Sad to re-
late, however, he died. And this happen-
ed not in Somaliland or Tibet, but in
England.-London Standard.

How Carlyle Received Him.

One Of the most curious receptions of
visitors was that which Carlyle gave
George Gilfllan. Gilfillan was quite a
literary character a generation ago. His
books were widely read, and his Litter
airy Portraits" were especially popular
with the young ladies. l know of many
girls who slept with these volumes under
their pillows. Gilfllan was a lecturer as
well as a writer. He appreciated his
popularity and had very good opinion
of George Gilfllan. He called one day
at Mr.. Carlyle's, and his knock was re-
sponded to by Carlyle himself. As Car
lyle opened the door and stood before
him Gil6llan introduced himself with a
grandiloquent bow and said:
II am George Gilfillan, and you are
Mr.. Carlyle, I suppose. have been lee
turing about you all over England"
Carlyle looked at him half n moment
and then, throwing back his shaggy
name, blurted out. "What the dickens
did you lecture about me forH and slam

just When to Turn.

A Memphis gentleman who has just re-
turned from an overland trip through
Mississippi says that one day he stopped
at negro cabin to ask the way to the
village for which he was bound.
In reply to his hail an old white headed
man came to the door, and the following
conversation took place:
Can you tell me how TO get to By

A Cheap Jack Leeds butcher brought
his cart TO a standstill in Lady lane. An

room, leading his visitors into another de-
partment, "are the great presses. The
matter is stereotyped in the form of

their impression on the paper that I'M

Mrs. Upjohn-No, indeed. We have a
