When quite young the future Mullah was
taken with the idea Of making the pilgrim

journey. made the sacred visit three or four
times. His object to obtain a greater
reputation for holiness than that held by
the other pilgrims.
After his last pilgrimage Mohammed re-
turned to Berbera. but met with small sue

Mullah. following the example set by Mo-

up these threats caused the disturbances

HAY FEVER.
An Efficient Toxin for It's Cure Has
Been Found.

From the Hospital.
Sufferers from hay fever will now be
rejoicing. no doubt, that their special NAL
ady. which has hitherto made them look
forward with something like dread to the
| approach of early summer. Is at this mo-
ment the subject Of extensive experimental
research at the hands of Prof. Dunbar OF
Hamburg. and that. so far as his investi-
cations CO. judging from Sir Felix Semon's
| report In the British Medical Journal. there
seems to be a reasonable likelihood that
in the near future medical men will be in
position to treat the complaint on a basis
of rational pathology and therapeutics.
Up to the present time the only sure way
Of obtaining relief from the affection has
been to run away from 1t and to abide
the summer in some place where the bale
full pollen Is not. course obviously impossi-
BILE for the many. Now, however. accord
ing to Prof Dunbar, the toxin has been
discovered. He has isolated from the pol
len Of certain grasses a toxic substance
which. when applied In very dilute solu-
ton to the eyes or nDstrilS OF individuals
who are subject Ito hay fever. produces
within a few minutes the characteristic
local symptoms Of the complaint. The
toxin solution has no effect upon one who
is not a sufferer from hay fever.
l. By injecting the pollen of various grasses
into the circulation of certain animals
rabbits. goats and horses-PrOf Dunbar
has succeeded. he believes, In producing
an active antitoxin which, when applied to
the eyes and nostrils of hay fever pa
tents in whom the local symptoms have
been produced artifcially by the previous
employment Of the toxin, Immediately
quells the subjective symptoms. and in a
few minutes causes the objective signs to
subside.
Grasses appear to be the chief offenders
in causing the affection. for Prof Dunbar
has failed to discover the toxin in the pol
len Of roses and many other flowers The
| toxin was obtained in sufficient quantity
for experimental purposes by extracting
the crushed pollen of maize with saline
solutions at the body temperature for about
six hours. and by precipitating the toxin
from the solution with alcohol. The anti
toxin was obtained by injecting the toxin
into horses. full report OF Prof Dun
bars Investigations will be welcomed with
a considerable amount of interest by the
medical profession at large.

WOMEN WHO WOULD VOTE
Great Gain Of the Female Suffrage
Movement Attracts Attention.


From the Housekeeper.
Increasing evidences that the cause of wo-
man suffrage is gaining ground throughout
the world compel the inquiry whether the
women who want to vote" are not now in
4 fair way to win universal victory A
ma jority of the bills passed by the Colorado
legislature at its last session were either in
troduced by women or directly in their in
terests. and the feminine influence on legis-
lation was declared to be distinctly eleyat-
ing and healthful. In far off New Zealand
We find Premier Seldom one of the bitterest
opponents of woman suffrage before it's in
PRODUCTION into that colony, now warmly
commencing the system. having been thor
oughly converted by its practical work
ings." New Zealand was never so prosper
GUS as now, and the interest manifested by
her women citizens in the welfare Of the
colony Is evidenced by their active partici-
patton in public affairs The compilation Of
the electoral rolls in New South Wales
shows that about 100000 men and 2S5 900
women qualified to vote at the next
Legislative election. An interesting point is
that. in nearly one-third of the celebrates
the women voters outnumber the men and
WILL consequently. absolutely control the
selection Of legislators in these districts
However, 1t need not be assumed that the
women will choose members of their own
sex exclusively where they have the right
to dictate who shall hold office. In many
of these districts men of worth and judg-
iISIil Will NC eletteu ny WoIIeH
just as in districts controlled by men wo-
men have often been among the successful
candidates.
In this connection the following reasons
for believing in woman suffrage recently
given by Bertha RrSch Baruch Of Philadel-
phia Of interest:
l. Because woman like man, was created
a reasoning being, notwithstanding the at
tempt of many men to prove the contrary
2. Because a woman is individual re-
sponsible for her actions to her fellow men
and women, and as amenable to the laws
Of her community a man. Hence she is
neither an irresponsible child nor an idiot
as we are led to infer from the statute
books omissions and commissions
g. Because her Importance in the affairs
Of the family. the city. the state. the coun-
try, Is at least as great as that Of man. II
not greater.

Black Stone Of Mecca,
From the Philadelphia Ledger

Set into a corner of the Kaaba Uhe tenn

as the black stone" It is an irregular
oval boulder. about seven inches In diam

brown in color. 1t is encircled by a silver
band studded with silver nails. 1t has
been split by heat. carried away by Kar-
mathians and broken by a blow. but the

ers a piece of volcanic basalt. Millions Of
kisses have worn its rough surface some
what smooth. The Mohammedans believe
it was a hyacinth brought from heaven
by Gabriel to Abraham. and that con-
tact with the human race has changed its
properties.

SOME COSTLY SAWS.
Those Used In Pennsylvania Slate
Quarries Have Diamonds in Them.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Probably the most expensive saws in use
anyw here in the world are those in the fac
tories of Pennsylvania where various arti-
cies are manufactured Of slate. In one of
these factories there 300 horizontal
saws. II feet in length. each Of which Is
furnished with - cutting diamonds, each
saw being worth 5000. The slate land
which furnishes the ma terial for these cost
ly saws to work upon was once so little
valued that the tract upon which the IA
nous Chapman quarry in Pennsylvania is
situated was sold for pint of whisky. Its
subsequent owners have taken millions Of
dollars from the land.
Tho most valuable slate deposits in the
world are found in the central and eastern
parts of Pennsylvania. In the neighbor-
hood of the Pennsylvania quarries there
are houses whose walls are entirely of
slate. The blocks of which they are made
are smoothly sawed. and are certainly most
substantial When slate is blasted in the
Guarries the rough slabs are taken to the
shinties of the "splitters." The stone forms
naturally the layers, and the Splitter" fol-
lowing the grain or ribbon" with his large
! chisel, separates the blocks into strips
Then these strips passed through u
! trimming machine. where by the blows of
a heavy knife they are cut into rectangular
Shingles Then they are piled I'D into
squares" ready to be used for roofing
purposes.
| When slate is cut up for use in other
| ways the procedure differs. The huge hort
zontal saw. with its scores of diamonds. in
| the factory. is called into play; 1t Is low
| cred upon one of the blocks of slate by a
| ratchet at the rate of a quarter of an inch
a minute. The saw would cut through iron
or steel at the same rate. The workmen
! play a stream of water upon the slate to
keep II cool. and wash the dust from the
| cut. After the saving the block is planned
| by being moved back and forth by ma
chinery under a firmly fixed chisel 1t Is
afterward polished, much as marble and
granite are. The value of the slate quarries
runs into the millions.

The Lizard in Literature.

In his great narrative poem. 'Enoch

that "the golden lizard on him paused"
l have often wondered how Tennyson
got that idea and whether he was just-
he'd In it. Do lizards ever run up onto
human beings and wait there for their
insect prey? Emily Bront represents
the sinister hero of "Wuthering
Heights" as standing still so long in
his agony, and coming to look so un-
like human being that building

AT Sellwood, near Portland, Ore,
there was recently unveiled a monu-
ment to Arthur Venville, lad who
lies in an unknown grave in the Phil
ippine Islands. Venyille was born in
England, but was brought to this
country at the age of ten months.
When he was only seven years old his
father died, charging the child with his
last breath, almost, "to take care of the
mother and sisters" The little fellow
promised.
He was quiet boy, Of studious hab-
Its. He liked to go to school, and he
wanted TO go to college, but he had to
take n place in a shop to help support
the family. In 1897 his health be-
gan to fail ad he enlisted as an ap-
prentice in the navy, still giving his
people wages. The other fellows
called him "glrl sailor" he told his
mother when he came home on a fur
Tough year later.
Venville was on the gunboat York
town in 1899. She went to the Philip
pines, and in April was sent to Baler
Bay to rescue some Spanish prisoners.
The young apprentice was one of the
party of seventeen which under com
mand of Lieutenant Gilmore was sent
ashore to reconnoitre.

upon 1t storm of bullets. Several men
We're killed, others We're desperately
wounded, and all were drenched with
tn blood of their comrades. Lieuten-
ant Gilmore has told in McClure's
Magazine of the behavior of Venville,
the eighteen-year-old apprentice, who
had never before been under fire.
| Having no other weapon that a re-
Volver. useless at the range" wrote
the officer, II reached for the rifle
dropped by one of the dead. 1t had
been hit in the lock and the clip was
jammed in. Venville, one Of the ap-
prentice boys, attempted to fix it. A
bullet went through the flesh of his
neck.
Mr.. Gilmore. I'm hit he said But
he continued working at the rifle.
"a second shot plowed through the
boys breast and came out in his arm
pit.
I'm hit again, Mr.. Gilmore
He was still trying to pull out the
jammed clip when ball cut a furrow
in the left side of his head.
Mr.. Gilmore, they've hit me againr
HE wiped the blood from his brown
eyes with his coat sleeve and then re-
turned to his task as calmly as If it
We're only mosquito that had stung
him. 1t was not three minutes until
a ball crashed into his ankle, inflicting
painful hurt. There was just slight
culver in the lads voice as he looked
up to me and said:
"'Mr. Gilmore, I'm hit once more,
but I've fixed the gun, SIR"
One wishes this true tale might have
ended, as stories do, with the hero's
recovery and return, but when the
other survivors of Lieutenant Gill
more's party were taken into the inter-
rior. Venville, being unable to travel,
was left behind, and some time later
he was killed by the order of an insur-
gent general. Yet his eighteen years,
few though they were, had been spent
to some purpose. The monument
stands fair and stately symbol of the
boys life.

Walked With n Tipress.

1t is related Of Sir Edward Bradford,
the Chief of Police Commissioner of
London, that he once walked arm in
arm, so to speak, with a tigress. He
was out shooting, and always a fear
less sportsman; had come to close quar-.
ters with his quarry. He fired, and
either the ball failed to take effect or
but slightly wounded the animal. She
sprang at him and seized his left arm
above the elbow. The pain must have
been terrible, but Sir Edward kept cool.
and realizing that it would be death to
drag his mangled arm away and allow
her to spring afresh at him, he delib.
erately walked few agonizing PAGES
until his comrade was able to take aim
and kill the brute. Thus his courage
saved his life, though the amputation
of his arm at the shoulder proved
necessary.
