Granted by the priests of Marduh or

Marduk was one Of the twelve great
gods and was represented in heaven
by constellation. In some of his

like Zeus. A striking discovery was

A FAMILY POISON BOOK.
Recommended for Persons Not Too
Excited to Use It.

at would be an excellent idea for
every family to have little book Civ
ing briefly prompt antidotes for yari-
Gus poisops.' said a prominent New
York doctor. Physicians know that
there are scores of cases of acciden.
ia! poisoning never heard OF outside
Of the family concerned. I've had sev-
eral cases of poisoning by an acciden-
tai dose of the chloroform and aconite
liniment that almost every one keeps,
and one woman gave her child muri-
lie acid that was kept for cleaning
the marbles.
Prompt action is the great thing in
cases OF poisoning. BY the time one
can get help from doctor or druggist
it is often too late to save the patient.
A few antidotes for the common pois-
ons would be easy to learn. Still, II
there was such book I suppose most
persons would be too much excited
to use il in time Of emergency"

GETTING AT THE TRUTH.
Porter Of Burned Establishment at
Last Made a ShreWd Guess.

Some time ago an unquestiorably
suspicious fire occurred in ready
made clothes store that was carried
Oh in a certain locality OF New York.
The fire was Immediately reported to
the Office Of the company with which
the building and its contents were III
sured, and an inspector was dispatch
ed to make the necessary iIvestisa-
tons.
The senior partner Of the clothing
firm was first waited upon and ques-
toned, and he, MIR. Abrahams. by
name. informed the insurance Official
that it was his opinion that the fire
was due to the electric light. He con-
sidered, in fact, that in some way the
glow-lamp wires had fused. Mr.. Abra-
hams partner, who happened to be
Mr.. Moses. was separately interview.
ed on the subject, and he also attri-
buted the disaster to electricity, but
incautiously particularized sparks
from the arc.lights as the direct cause
of the mischief
Whilst returning to the office the
inspector happened to encounter Pat
rick Murphy. who held the position
of porter TO the confagrated establish
ment, and thought he might now get
an inkling Of the true state of things.
Now, look here, Pat" said he,
what Is really your own view of this
awkward fire at Abrahams' shop?
Your two governors seem to look at it
in different ways. Mr.. Abrahams says
it was tae glow-lights and Mr.. Moses
says it was the arc lights. What do
you think about it,"
Faith" replied the son Of Erin. re-
flectively, Dim inclined to fancy it
must have been the Israelites!"

Flag on Two-Cent Stamps.

For the first time since 1862 says
the Boston Transcript the post Office
department. with the issuance of the
new series Of stamps now in prepara-
ton. will make use of the American
flag in >one of its designs. This will
be part of the two-cent stamp. which.
by the way. will bear little resemb-
lance to the one now current. The
familiar portrait OF Washington will
be succeeded by photograph taken
from Gilbert Stuart's famous painting.
This bust of Washington, SO long
known to the stamp-using public, as
drawn from Houdon's profile cast.
Stamp experts thank that this rev
two-cent stamp, with its superb like
ness of Washington, its draped flags.
its wreaths of laurel leaves in the
lower corners. and the general balance
of text and artistic effect, together
with the remarkable excellence of the
mechanical work, will make this the
finest postage stamp ever produced.

Judicial Advice.

Curious advice Is sometime: given
by magistrates in England. A gentle.
man recently appeared before a mag.
istrate named Kennedy and COM
planned that one of his neighbors had
covered his windows with placards
about a local election.
Il want you to issue an order, your
worship" he adSed, compelling him
to remove the placards and to clean
the windows"
That's what he ought to do" re-
piled Mr.. Kennedy. "but. if he refuses,
you'll have to do it Yourself
But suppose he does it again:" ask
ed the plaintiff.
In that case" said Mr.. Kennedy,
softly, the best thing for you to do
is to have a large pitcher Of water
ready and to empty it over him as
soon as you see him approach any
OF the windows"

point that there was no excuse for
