poisOn Inv Abs0eutiOn,

The slow absorption of many pOiscns
changes in some more Or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief
that arsenic clears the complexion has
led many silly women to kill them
selves with it in small, continued
doses.
1t produces WaXy. ivorylike appear
ancc of the skin during 4 certain stage
of the poisoning, but it's terrible after
effects have become too well known to
make it of common use as cosmetic.
The effects Of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly opposite from
that of arsenic. The first symptoms of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is a discoloratien of the skin
of the nose and forehead. This gradu-
ally extends over the face until the
complexion has a stained, biotched and
unsightly appearance. With people
who take ammonia into their systems
in small doses, as with their water
and food, these striking symptoms do
not appear so soon. The only effect Of
the poison that is visible for time is
a general EMBELLISHMENTS and sal
lowness of the complexion.

The TOUCH DOES IT

y Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along toyour business-whole
and happy. They can do it and aoaH do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion of
it, clap aBenson's Porous Plaster squarely on
the bad spot. They are the get-out-t0-naorr0ao
plasters-not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion. There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as sheet of ice does I'M
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretel
the effect of Benson's Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered i'll the United States on
receipt of Csc. each.

Deerfeld.

Andrew Heimdahl was taken back to
the county asylum Wednesday evening.
Supt Edwin and his son came down for
him. He refused to go and fought des-
perately even after he was brought to
town here.
DR. J G Bell of Cottage Grove brought
John Wolff of Sun Prairie town down
here Monday to have bullet which he
had shot into his hand located by means
of the X-ray at the office of Drs Guam &
Suby. The bullet was easily located and
extracted with but little pain.
Judge Zimmerman, as soon ais he took
his Office, appointed G Harper public
administrator in place Of @ N Brown.
The position is said to be worth from
$500 to $500 a year. 1t seems that the
LaFollette crowd believe ia keeping all
the jobs in the family Mr. Harper was
formerly Gov LaFolIettes law partner.
Many farmers hereabouts are now in
the midst of haying. By this we do not
mean to convey the idea that grass is
growing in our meadows. On the con-
trary, the farmers run their mowers on
the ice and frozen marshes and cut the
coarse tall grass that cannot be reached
during the summer because the ground
is too soft. The hay cut now is used
mostly for bedding.

The "BIue" Danube.

Those of the Austrian poets who are
fond of singing the charms of the blue
Danube were recently disappointed to
hear of the Investigations Of certain
German scientist. This man watched
the big river for whole year. giving
to his studies an hour every morning.
The result of these observations was
that he found the water to be brown

Darkness of Ocean Depths.

How far does sunlight penetrate be-
meath the surface of the seas? has been
asked many times. and now the camera
has answered the question. By expos
ing the most sensitive Photographic
plates at various depths it has been as
certained with definiteness how much
sunlight there is in the water each de-
scending foot.
There is point at which no action Of
light is found, and that point is 600 feet
under the surface. Below that is abso-
lutte darkness. and the only way in
which the most delicate plate can be eff
fected in that black abyss is to send
down an electric light with it.

Striking q Light With POpgun.


The nhabitants of the countries bor-
dering on India have their own meth
DDS of making fire. A Burmese mes
senger recently brought a note to an
English official, and the latter observed
something resembling boys popgun
hanging by the messengers side. Gu
riosity prompted him to ask the native
what it was, and he was surprised to
find that it was machine for making
fire.
The native exhibited the apparatus
and explained the working. concluding
with a practical demonstration. 1t
was a tube, closed at one end and fitted
with a piston. At the end of the piston
was groove Or cavity. smeared with
wax, which was used for making
thread or infiammable material adhere
to it, The finder, to keep the old name,
is pressed on the wax when light is
required and is not kept there always.
Placing the Wisp of cotton on the
wax, the native inserted the tightly
fitting piston in the tube, then forced
it along the latter by giving it a sharp
blow, On withdrawing the piston the
cotton was found to be alight, having
been ignited by the conclusion with the
compressed air.-Pearson's Weekly.

His First Business Venture.

An American capitalist who has
made a fortune running far into the
millions likes to tell story Of his first
business venture and how he saddened
the local grocer. At this time he was
fond Of freQuenting a public salesroom
near his home where all sorts Of bar
gains were offered:
One day I noticed several boxes of
soap of a certain brand which | had
often been sent to buy at the corner
grocery | thought to myself, THAT
will go cheap" so l ran to the grocery
and received a promise from the man
in charge to buy as much Of the soap
at a certain figure as l could furnish.
OF course he never suspected that !
could furnish any Of it,
| returned to the salesroom, and
when the soap was put up | bid it in,
and it was knocked down to me. My
name was demanded, and when | gave
it in shril! voice everybody laughed,
for I was then only eleven years of
age.
Amused as they were at the SALE the
bystanders were amazed when [ bid in
the whole lot of twenty-five boxes.
had them carried over to the grocery
and received the price agreed upon.
The grocer were a weary look when he
heard how 7 had obtained the soap.
He said:
"Well. I guess I could have done that
myself"
/ replied that l guessed he could. too,
but he adn't.-Youth's Companion.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Grading Has Commenced.

Information has reached the News
office that the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad company has completed six
teen miles of grading on a new road
leaving their main line at Blake, Utah
and pointing in the direction of Sail
ma canyon. When the work of con-
structiOn was commenced it was stat
ed that the road was to be used in
hauling ore from the manganese de-
pOsits with traction engine, but as
it was continued five miles past the
manganese beds to an excellent cross
ing point on the Green river the real
object of the grading became appar-
ent. On the south side of the river
the company has about seventy miles
of road graded and for several weeks
past force of men has been employ
ed in Salina canyon.
This is the road which the News
mapped out some months ago for the
Rio Grande Western, and which that
company later consented to build to
Ely. 1t is now apparent that they
are fulfilling their promise, and the
company which beats them into this
camp will have to do some lively hus
tiing.-White Pine News.
