Under the tyrannical and despotic
rulers OF some of the countries the
office Of high chief poisoner has exist
ed for ages. but that our own Uncle
i am pays out handsome sum for the
maintenance of such an office IS not
generally known. says r. NJ. Cheshire
in the Chicago Tribune.
Joseph Palmer, a Londoner oeca-
pies the position Of high chief poison
er for this great and glorious coun-
NV. but he has not the inclination nor
does he receive salary to put often
sive and corrupt partisans otif OF the
way. II is his duty TO poison every
article which gees into the nation
al museam-booEs birds. stuffed an
mais. Filipino bolos, musical instrn-
men1s. Navajo blankets whales. bnsts
Of statesmen. George Washinaton's cd
clothes. and any and every other
thing. old and new. Ills method i
a euarantcee against the faNa2es o.

death and when an article is once
subjected to its use il is never nece3
sary to repeat the dose.
