TWO WICKED CITIES.
Gen. Booth Says They Are New York
and Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-L"Chicago and New
York are the two wickedest cities in
the world. They are swamped in vice
and pleasure, and the churches are
powerless to stem the tide of sin. They
are growing worse and worse"
This is the gloomy view expressed
by Gen. William Booth, head of the
Salvation Army and author of I'm
Darkest England"

good" he said. They tolerate vice
without blushing. The Sabbath, they
~desecrate, and little o than one
tenth of the people attend the church.
es. A great wav of an e~ngulfng oc-
can of pleasure. recreation, ease and
idleness is drowning out the good and
dampening the consciences of men and
women. In the fullness of wealth they
are forgetting the dangers that beset
their homes, their children and them
selves.
Vice stalks through the streets. In
both New York and Chicago its flag.
rance is unchecked. The young men
and young women of the higher order
OF society are growing up in luxury
and idleness.
rs vice centered in these cities? II
is not, it is widespread. 1t is found in
the sections where the wealthy live
and hovers over nearly the entire area
of each metropolis. Wickedness has
spread to the fashionable sections OF
the cities, and once there has not been
driven out. Instead of being combatted
it was at first tolerated, and now 1t is
abetted."

NEARLY A LYNCHiNG. e
Narrow Escape of Member Of Minstrel
Company at San MarcjaI,

Company at san Marcial.
Intense excitement reigned supreme
and the stringing up spirit was greatly
in evidence at San Marcial Tuesday
night over the attempted assault of
one of the men of the Beach & Bower
minstrels upon a small boy at that
place.
The minstrel showed at San Marcial
Tuesday night and IL was during the
day that the crime was attempted.
One of the followers of the company.
whose name could not be learned, en-
ticed a small boy, about s years old,
the son of a conductor on the road, in
to the car promising to give him some
tickets. While in the car the boy
claims his kind friend attempted to
commit an insult, but he broke away
and notified the authorities. The man
vas arrested Immediately and given
his hearing. AS soon as the news hit
the street corner it went like wild fire
in all directions. Large, angry crowds
surrounded the Jail and threats of
lynching were heard on all sides. The
dIGtSleu ma was 81 lTlSutentu tHdt
he went down on his knees and begged
for mercy. He pleaded guilty to the
charge filed against him and was
bound over to the grand jury of Socor-
TO county.
1t was rumored later that the boy
being frightened made the report
worse than it really was; that the con.
victed man made no attempt of insult,
but merely a proposal. However. the
streets of San Marcial were %thronged
with an angry and inconsiderate
crowd. who would have made short
work of the man had their hands been
permitted to touch him.
The members Of the minstrel com
pany do not believe the story told by
the boy, and claim that he only plead
ed guilty through fright; that the mag
istrates threatened to give him over
to the mob unless he pleaded guilty.
The excitement has not died out yet
and the people are still talking of the
attempted crime.

Take piece of thin board of soft
WOOD. say pine, a foot and q half in
length and two inches wide. Place it
upon an ordinary kitchen table. allow
ing the end to protrude half its length
almost beyond the edge of the table.
Now place a newspaper upon the table
covering the board to the edge. and
smooth it out carefully, being sure
that the paper is in perfect contact
with The board as we'll as with the
table. Then announce to the com
pany assembled that. with no other
sheet of paper, you propose to
strike the end of the board hard
enough to break it, or at least TO tilt
the table. II Will appear impossible.
Every one will imagine that the news
paper will be torn in two as soon as
the end of the board is struck. but
this Will not occur. Strike it d smart
sharp blow with the hand or an in
strument, and the board will either
break off or tilt the table and remain
fast to it just as if it had been nailed
fast. The explanation is simple.
When a blow is struck there is a ten
dency to tilt the end of the board upon
the table. but the air having been
pressed out from under the paper, a
semi-vacuum has been created. and
the compression of air upon the outer
side of the paper holds the board fast

Poisoned Arrows of IndiaRs.

1t is a practice of savage tribes in
most all parts of the world to put
poison on the points of their spears
and arrows, that they may be mora
effective against their enemies, for a
wound which under ordinary circum-
stance would heal quickly, if made
with a poisoned implement will prob
ably cause death.
The poison is generally obtained
from a plant or tree, such as the dead
ly upas tree of Java. The American
Indian has used the venom of snakes.
The Jennings daily record., 1902-06-26

There are plants which, when dried
and apparently dead. take on the form
of life again when they are soaked in
water There are two kinds of revival
one real the other APPARENT. A writer
in La Science ulustree says that re-
turn to life, either in a complete form
or in part, is quite frequent in the
vegetable world, where the influence
of humidity and dryness is more mark
ed than among animals.
One naturalist has taken fine rails
tns, of the variety known as Imperial
Malaga, and planted the stem in moist
earth. This stem, four inches long. in
three months had a shoot of three
additional ir.ches.
The plant best known for its re>
