CURE WORSE THAN E
How One Health officer Managed to
Immune Himself from Ravages
Of Smallpox.

j. *. Stuart, assistant health
commissioner, is now thoroughly
immune from smallpox, says the
Denver Republican. Through fol
lowing the prescription of one of
the deputies in the health commits
siOner's Office, he has rendered
himself impervious to the attacks
of the lOathsOme disease, Instead
of being grateful Stuart swears
dire revenge on his fellow EN-
ployes.
Health Commissioner Sharpley
the other day informed Stuart
that he would have to handle all
the smallpox cases. The latter
Immediately began to inquire
among the clerks how he could pro

there will be absolutely no danger

Now, bisulphide Of carbon
smells like the concentrated odoi

that. He bought a bottle of tn.
stuff and cOnscieDtiously took
long sniff of it every three hours
Finally the treatment became to
severe. He dashed the bottle t
the floor and shouted:
"Fd rather have all the small

TELLS ORIGIN OF LAUGH.
European Professor Says It Is an Elk
preston of Joy Induced by
Coming Meal.

A European professor has
made some very disillusionizing
statements regarding the origin
of facial expressions.
The first smile, he asserts, was
merely a widening of the mouth
of the prehistoric man at the pros
pect of being fed, Our savage an,
cestor barred his teeth gleefully
as meal-time approached, and in
the course of ages the act was EN-
ployed to express JOY for any
cause.
The sheer, in which we curl the
upper lip, is a survival of the
snarl of the brute or the savage
man; while the sudden parting OF
the lips, by which fear is indicat
ed, perpetates the act by which
the startled animal or savage took
a deep breath before preparing tC
fly or commence a struggle to the
death.
Probably the most usual cause
of disgust in the mind of primeva.

sci in his food. The grimace hC
would then have made inexpellins
it has survived as our own method
Of expressing the emotion, what
ever the exciting cause.

PROGRESS OF THE MAR

The fog of mystery surrounding the
war has been thicker during the last
week than ever before says the Chi
cago Tribune There is feeling that
great events are going forward, but
only the merest rumors Of them have
reached the outer world.
Kuroki has pushed his lines forward
few miles. Sakarof reports that on
the morning of July Z vast camp of
the enemy was discovered in the neigh
borhood of SiaokhetZza, which is prob
ably located as marked on the map.
The Russians report that Kuroki has
not moved forward from Ia and
Fenshui passes.
In the meantime Oku has been ac-
tive. After a severe fight on Friday
he occupied kaichou. 1t is unofficially
reported from Toxic that he captured
ten guns and fifty prisoners. If this
be true, the Russians exhibited unpar-
donable negligence. because they must
have allowed another small portion of
their army to be caught by a superior
force. If Kouropatkin lost ten guns
at Kaichou, he repeated the blunder of
| the Yalu crossing and OF Telissu. He
allowed an inferior force, without hope
| of reinforcements. to get involved ln a
serious fight, to get partly surrounded
and to have its guns taken. Perhaps
he is undeserving of such structures
The report of the Kaichou incident has
not been confirmed. nevertheless he
has already committed this identical
blunder twice, and may have repeated
himself.
The puzzling question in regard ito
tie japanese disposition is the where
abouts of Nodzu. Early in May he
was reported to have landed at Taku-
shan, with the first. third and fourth
divisions Since then his name nas
hardly appeared in Toxic dispatches.
Now, the troops which carried Nan
shan hill were the first, third and
| fourth divisions. the same as landed
at Takushan under Nodzu. When this
army was transferred to the Liaotung
| peninsula is it not hke'y that Gen.
Nodzu, its commander went with it?

HAVE TO EAT ARSENIC.
Poison's Makers Cannot Otherwise

Poison's Makers Cannot Otherwise
Withstand Its Fumes.
Fasting of arsenic is common in Sly
ria. The Styrians say that arsenic
makes one plump and comely and
gives one strength for great exertions,
such as running or mountain climbing.
Syria, in Austria, gives the world
vast quantities of arsenic: the manu-
facture of this drug is indeed the main
Syrian industry. rney who make ar
senic eat it, asa rule, for they say
that only the arsenic eater can with.
stand the arsenic fumes.

Clear color They looi. much younger

THE foreman in certain arsenic
factory told me that in his boyhood,
when he first came to that plant, he
was advised to begin to eat arsenic
lest his health suffer from the fumes"
says toxicologist. He did begin,
and his first two or three small doses
gave him sharp pain, like a burn, in
the stomach, and this pain was follow.
ed by tremendous hunger and vio-
lent, disagreeable excitement But as
his doses increased in frequency and
size their effect became pleasant. There
was no longer pain or excitement; on
the contrary, there was ravenous ap-
petite and a mood of joyous activity
wherein the youth could do three mems
work
This chap. by the time he got to be
go was taking four grains of arsenic
day. He looked at so, with his clear
pink and white color, no more than %
He was as robust as blacksmith. But
he said he would die at 40 or so, that
being the age at which all the Syrian
arsenic eaters die"
The drug is a preservative, and in
Syria, when graves are opened bodies
are found to be as fresh six or seven
years after interment as on the day
they were lowered into the earth.

Travelling in India.

Every one who goes 10 India TO
travel or live at hotels, says the Chi
cago Record Herald, must have a per-
sonal servant, a native who performs
the duties of valet, waiter and errand
boy, and whatever else may be re-
CURED of him. This is a fixed custom
of the country, to resist which brings
endless trouble to the traveller.
Many of the Indian hotels expect the
guests to bring all their own servants,
both chambermaids and walters, and
are consequently so short-handed that
the traveller who comes without them
has usually to wait upon himself.
On the railways a native servant lie
quite indispensable, for travellers are
required to carry their own bedding,
make their own beds and furnish their
own towels. The company provides a
bench TO sleep on, similar to those in
American freight cabooses.
Each car has also a Mushroom and
sometimes water But If the traveller
wishes to be sure of washing his face
in the morning, and if he is wise, he
will send his servant to the station
master before the train starts and ask
to have the watertank filed. Then
Hindu with a goatskin full of water
will climb to the roof of the car and
fill it, and having descended, will stand
before the door and touch his forehead
every time the traveller looks toward
him till he receives a penny
At the eating-houses along the road
the servant viii have to raid the, tables
and shelves for food, and brig it to
the car for his master. Stree no wait
ers are provided. Ia addition, he will
hire bssgage-carriers, and will attend
to Oh the details of catching trains and
engaging rooms.
A good servant can be hiied for SIS
month. Poorer bearers" as they
are called, can be engaged for 81 or So
month, and expect to find them
selves; but the traveller must pay rail-
way fare for them.

Crippled ACTOR, Empty House.

the management of the Studebaker
Theater, was several years ago the
