Methodlsm in the Mountains.

Our work along the foothills of the
mountains grows apace. Keep such men
as Gault, Banks, Jones, Burns and Spinks
up there and it will continue to grow.
let me say that Spinks is no Common
place hero"-rather a very uncommon
one. With great pleasure have watched
the movement of some women of the
Home Mission Society to pay his parson-
age out debt. They only like $50 now.
One of the Bishops, stimulated by his
love for helping, and by his wife. who
loves this work, has given S25 to the en-
terprise.. Other preachers and laymen
have responded we'll, and when $50 more
is in hand the Walhalla Circuit will have
an excellent parsonage and a large lot at
the low price of 5000. Send dollar
brother, sister, to the treasurer of the
Home Mission Society, Mrs. w. A.
Rogers, Spartanburg, and help to bless
our mountain work. Crhe good women
did not ask me to write this. wv. A.

story from the day he began his tramp
from Richmond one hundred and twenty
miles to the Blue Ridge Mountains,
where he joined the Mosby Band at the
residence of--Mr. Blackwell, near Mark

Beats Snake Stories.

An excursion train on the Black Forest
Railroad, in Pennsylvania, was held up
for an hour the other day by four bears
at a trestle crossing mountain stream.
One of the bears was caught between the
ties and the engine was stopped. Then
it was found that portions of the trestle
had been so undermined by the bears as
to be unsafe. Stone throwing did not
frighten the animals, and they were
finally driven off with torches made of
long sticks and waste taken from the
axle boxes Of the cars. Then temporary
repairs were made and the train resumed
its journey. There were $50 passengers
on board, mostly women and children.

POISONED HANDLING DRUGS
Great Care Has to Be Exercised bv
Workmen to Avoid Fatal
Absorption.

1t is well-knoxn fact that many of
the poisons and chemicals which enter
into the composition of drugs are capa-
BILE either of being absorbed into the
human system through the hand or al
fecting it by inhalation, says a paper
of the trade.
So well is this danger recognized that
In all the large drug and chemical houses
men who are required to work among
such drugs habitually are obliged to
take extra precautions to guard them
selves against danger.
Men engaged in the manufacture of
opium or any OF the alkaloids are obliged
to wear "insufflators" to prevent them
from absorbing through the air pas
sages too much of the drugs.
Despite this precaution, these men
occasionally feel themselves getting "a
little dopey," in which case they prompt
ly resort to the fresh air for an hour.
Great care has to be exercised by the
workmen who continually handle mer-
curry or any mercurial preparation. 1t
is extremely likely to be absorbed
through the pores of the skin.
Workmen are also very liable to be
affected by arsenic and all the arsenates.
This drug gives off fine powder, which
will quickly saturate the system unless
proper precautions are taken.
The manufacture of the cyanide of
potassium and sodium is always attend
ed with very great danger. Only thor
oughly experienced men are put on this
class of work, and even they must ex-
ercise the utmost precaution.
