ARTISTS NOVEL JOURNEY.

TWO CUSTOMS OBSOLETE.
Cards of Thanks and Publishing
List of Gifts.

AS June, the strenuous month, prom
ises bunch of weddings, it might not
be out of place to inform these tempo
rarily insane that the once popular
custom of publishing list OF wedding
presents in connection with marriage
notice, which was never in good taste,
has become obsolete. Now, the next
reform demanded by good taste is to
cut out the "card of thanks" that US
ually appear the day after the funeral,
or when your barn burns, battling the
heroic efforts of your neighbors. The
"card of thanks" gives some people
the cold chi,ls. There are some feel
jngs of gratitude that should never be
paraded in print. Just why this is so
we may not all understand, but i6 is
true just the same. Cut out the pub
lished "card of thanks" but some day
tell your friends in a heart to heart
talk how you love them and how their
kind ministrations came in hours OF
darkness like a ray of light from
Heaven. Your neighbors who have
kept vigil with you at the bedside OF a
sick child desires no thanks in a news
paper, and the public in general has
no interest in the matter.

From the Albany Herald.


ready been said-that this wreck of a
man gave his life to his creditors in
killing himself in order that the large
amount of insurance which he carried
might be available to those whose
money had been entrusted to his bank
and had been lost. But even in this
view of the case he put the dollar
above the man, unselish though his
last tragic act may have been in Civ
ing up his life in order that those
whose money be had squandered
might not suffer irreparable loss from
a purely dollars and cents standpoint.
at best the self-destruction of this
man was surrender to the pride of
wealth and the standard of manhood
that is estimated in dollars.
Charity for the dead is one of the al
most universal redeemlng traits of the
human race, but due regard for the
living and those to come after US seem
to demand that we point to the warn

PLANT A CAUSE OF CANCER.
oleander Is Said to Be a Prolific Breed.
err of Dread C0mpIaInt,

There Is danger in the oleander
plant, and as there are number OF
them in Dawson The News repro
duces the following from the New
ork Sun for the benefit of the public:
when | was child a neigh Dor rode
to our door on orseback. While he was
talking with my father his horse
crowded close to the porch and at.
temptedi to bite some twigs Of an
oleander. The man was greatly
alarmed when he saw that the animal
had broken a stalk, asked for water
and washed the horses mouth
thoroughly.
"MV father asked the reason for his
anxiety. He said a mouthful of the
twigs would kill the horse almost
instantly, and told of a horse that
died in severe tremors a few, minutes
after eating a few shoots of the plant;
also a neighbor who pruned her
oleapder plants and threw the branches
int0a little pond In the barnyard. The
cattle drank the water and died.
"Some years later a playmate was
under medical treatment for an en-.
larRement of the throat which seemed
30 threaten goitre. Her house was an
oleander bower and the blossoms were
her faVorite decoration. She some.
tImes bit the stems off il they were too
long. After months OF the most
thorough treatment the swelling disas-
peared.
"a young woman who was extremely
fond of oleander plants kept a large
tree in her room. One day in mid
winter she dug out portion of the
earth and filled in the space with fresh
soil from the florists in order that her
favorlte might throw out new crop
of blossoms. Thatnight she complained
of serious irritation of her throat. A
few days later the glands below the ear
enlarged until they were on a line
with her cheek. For nearly a year
every remedy known to medical science
was tried. The swelling at last yielded
20 treatment and she permanently re-
covered.
another woman transplanted and
rspotted large:number of oleanders,
becoming much wearied with her task.
She complained that night of curious
irritation IN her throat. A swelling
came in the glands below her ear. All
remedies failed. 1t became malignant
and caused her death about six months
afterward.
"Within the past year death from
a cancer of the face or mouth has
occurred in household where are the
largest and most beautiful OleanderS
[ have ever seen. Yet another case
ia that of woman OF middle age whose
favorite flower was the oleander. She
kept all varieties, collecting them from
various places as she found new ones.
She had a clearly developed cancer.
took treatment for years and was, so
the doctors assured her, entirely cured.
Whether any symptoms of the disease
have developed within the last eight
or ten years | am unable to say.
II might give many other instance,
but these are to my mind sufficient
ground for belief that there is some
connection between the oleander and
glandular affections of more or less
malignant character.
