GUARDING AGAINST POISON
Action to Restrict the Sale Of DAN
gerous Drugs In Eng
land.

As q protection against drug poison
Ing. Southampton to the state depart
ment. the Pharmaceutical Society of
Great Britain has declared the following
articles poisoAs under the general stat
ute: Cocaine and its salts, picrotoxin,
acetanilid, preparations Of cocaine, digi-
tails and its preparations, mercurio
iodide, mercuric sulphocyanide, solu-
bic salts of oxalic acid, strophanthus and
Its preparations and sulphonal.
The effects OF this action will be that
the drugs named, when sold, must be
labeled with the word Poison" and
the name and address Of the seller;
that in the case of liquids. they must
be sold only In bottles readily distin-
guishable by touch from ordinary medi-
oine bottles; that they must be sold by
registered chemists and druggists only.
In the case Of cocaine and its salts and
picritoxin, it will be necessary, in ad-
dition to the observance of the precau-
tions stated, that the purchaser be per-
sonally known or introduced to the
seller, and that his name be signed In
the chemists poison register.
Consul Swain says that acetanHid,
digitalis and sulphonal, in addition to
cocaine, are drugs which particularly
lend themselves to abuse by the public,
and the facility with which it has been
possible to buy them in the past has been
by no means beneficial.

MANEUVERING OF WARSHIPS
In Time Of Peace Is of as Much I'M
portanee as Target
Practice.

Toward the end of December each
year we read in the public prints that
the feet has been reviewed by the sec
rotary of the navy or some other Off
GER high in command, and that it has
departed for the Caribbean for the
winter maneuvers. Usually nothing
more is heard of the feet, says the
American Review Of Reviews, until
about April /, when it arrives off Pen
sacola for target practice. 1t Is not
strange, then, that the public has but
a hazy idea of the relation OF these
winter cruises to the preparedness and
efficiency Of our navy.
The maneuvering Of a ship is Of an
Importance on a par with accuracy OF
gunare. A ship that can make a hit
with almost every shot but is badly
handled may be-nay, often is-more
dangerous to its friends than to its
enemies; and a ship that can make but
few hits is almost useless, however
we'll 1t may be Unanswered Thus, 1t
will be seen that a ships fighting
value is equally dependent upon Its
handling and the accuracy of its gun
fire. and hence the months Of hard
work devoted to ship and feet ma
neuvers and target practice.

HORSES ARE RARE IN PARIS
The Number Used in Drawing Veh-
icles Is Yearly Growing
Smaller.

The horseless age Is dawning in
Paris, the native heath of the automo-
bile, and the common prediction of the
early days of motor cars that the
equine would be eventually displaced
by the mechanical power vehicle is be-
ing fulfilled. From 1903 to 1904 the
number Of horses in Paris dropped
from 91,016 to 90,147, a difference Of
&C., In 1901 there were 1882, max
Ing a decrease in 1904 Of 43,745, as COM
pared with 1901 At Lyons the same
thing was observed, although there
the underground railway may have
contributed.
In France in 1903 there were 10000
vehicles representing value of about
$40000,000 The precedent established
by France will soon be followed by
Malta if 1t continues to father the au-
tomobile as it has lately commenced.
Not contented with a new train line
recently inaugurated, company has
been formed to ruin service of public
electric buses at Valetta, Malta, which
will cover points not included in the
tram line. The company IS building a
garage which will be fitted for storage
Of its vehicles and for the repair Of its
own and other motor cars. For public
service there will be 20-horse power,
II seat single deck bus, four 24-horse
power, SO seat double deck buses, and
one 24-horse power lorry. All the We
hicles are fitted with electric lights.

instead of submitting it evento an
abridged electorate. Mr.. Glass need
not be surprised to find his fond ex-
pectations of having a pure electorate
in the Commonwealth turn to Dead
Sea fruit.
Men cannot expect to remove corrup-
ton and venality from the body polite
by practicing deception upon the people
who constitute that body. From the
beginning of the movement for holding
a convention to the moment when the
new constitution was proclaimed, the
whole work of the Democratic party
was accumulated by fraud and stamped
with perfdy. The convention resolved
itself into revolutionary band
and usurped the sovereignty that
is lodged only in the people. It's pure
electorate is a myth and its honest
elections a humbug. Small wonder
there should be that the rival Demo-
cratic factions in Virginia have no con-
fidence in the sincerity and honesty
of each other.

RECORDS THE PULSE RATE
Instrument That Shows the Hearts
Action During Muscular Work
and After.

A recent publication of the University
of Michigan describes an instrument
for securing a continuous graphic record
of the pulse rate in man which afford
valuable indications of the hearts
work. The records showed that the COM
mencement Of muscular work Is fol-
lowed almost simultaneously by a
marked acceleration Of the pulse. In
fact, this modification of the pulse rate
is observed in the next heart cycle after
the work begins.
In typical cases there are three we'll
marked stages-a primary rise, period
of sustained acceleIation and a second
airy rise Similar stages Of decrease In
rate occur after the work stops. The
rapidity Of the pulse during work de-
pends not only upon the amount OF work
done, but much more upon the manner
in which 1t is done. Speed and resist
ance are factors requiring separate con-
sideration and of these two speed has
the greater influence
These records show that while mua-
cular work may not appreciably require
the expenditure of bodily forces 1t i'm
mediately reacts upon the heart and that
conversely cessation Of muscular exer-
ton is an immediate relief to the heart.

THIS is A VALUABLE COIN.
Silver Dollar Coined in 1904 Would
Bring the Finder a Fancy
Price.

Watch your silver dollars" said q
Kansas City banker, who, according to
the Journal, is something Of numis-
matist as we'll as a money-maker. III
you find one with the date 1904 you can
get fancy price for it. OF all the dol
lars coined by the United States, that is
the rarest and most costly"
Then he explained that the chances
were against one turning up by accident,
as there are only six of that date known
to be in existence. They have been sold
from $1,000 to $500 each. The first Is
sues of silver dollars, dated 1894, are
worth from $50 to 800 each. Others
that command a premium are those of
1851, 1852 and 1858. There are two pat
tern dollars of 1888 and 1889 that are
valuable.
They were coined as patterns and
never circulated. Between 1904 and
1889 there were no silver dollars coined
or put in circulation.

DRAG BONES FROM THE SEA
Remnants of Antediluvian Animals
Caught by Fishermen Of
Dogger Bank.

In the days when Great Britain and
Ireland were one-geologically, not po-
litically-and were part Of the CONT
nent of Europe; when the Irish sea,
the Bristol channel, the English chan
mel, and even the North sea were mere
ly fertile valleys, various prehistoric
beasts had a vast field on which to
roam.
Edward Martin, In an article In
knowledge, describes how these lands
became submerged, and how, when che
great North sea plain sank beneath the
waves, the Dogger island, as it may
be called, was the last to go.
Here the wild animals would natur-
ally congregate as they were driven
little by little from their old haunts by
the ever-advancing sea, and here they
were ali finally entombed when their
last resting place disappeared.
And now it is a common thing for
the trawlers on the famous fishing
ground, which is all that remains OF
the island, to catch among the fish a
bone or two which originally formed
part of an antediluvian animal.
Indeed, the skeletons are said to be
so numerous on the Dogger bank that
scarcely a trawl Is brought up which
does not contain bone or tooth OF
one of the ancient inhabitants of the
submerged island.

DOGS ARE ALWAYS HONEST
Whole Makeup Of the Animal Gives
Ample Testimony to the
Fact.

There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked a we'll known local
fancier and huntsman, says the Hous-
ton Post, land that Is you never saw
one pant and Wag his tail at the same
time. A dog is not capable Of a double
emotion. He can't growl and wag his
tail at the same time, for it Is impos-
sible for him to be mad at one end and
glad at the other.
IF dog is glad to see his master he
will bark and wag his TAIL If he wants
to get into the house he will paw at the
door, whine and wag his tail, but they
are all symptoms OF one and the same
emotion. But II his master opens the
door he will cease to show anxiety i'm
mediately. by whining, and will show
pleasure only by the wagging OF his
tail.
In order to get mans temper one
must watch his eyes, but for a dogs
you have to watch his tail. The dog is
likewise incapable of deceit, and hence
he is nothing of a politician. He de-
ceives no one, not even his master. II
he is overjoyed, every emotion is indi-
catiVe of that fact, and his whole make
up gives ample testimony to It, II he
is displeased or &ngered, 1t is the same
way"

TOO LATEl TOO LATEIl

The vicious poll tax qualification for
voting is getting in its work again, as
was originally intended by the pol
itical sharks who devised the outrageous
measure. Now comes the news from
Wythville that Judge Jackson has re-
fused to put the names of ITS voters on
the certified list, because they had not
made application within thirty days
after the sheriff had posted the lists.
These men had paid their poll taxes in
time, but the treasurer had failed to
put them on the list he had certified to
the clerk of the county. So this large
number of citizens in Wythe county
have been deprived of their right to
vote at the coming election. Of course
the great bulk of these are Republicans.
The error is too large to have been
honestly made, if the officers who made
it are capable. A significant fact in
the case is that most of the voters who
are sufferers are Republicans. When
they went before the circuit court judge
for redress, he being the final arbiter of
their rights, they were told: "You
come too late" The law says you
must inspect the list posted by the
sheriff and see if you name is written
there, if it is not you must apply for
relief to the circuit court within thirty
days after the list is posted, or you
must lose your right to vote.
What an iniquitous law! Its fraudu-
lent intention cannot be concealed by
the loudly professed honest intentions
of the partisan usurpers who put the
provision in the organic law OF the
State. The capacity of this measure
for destroying the sacred rights of citi-
zens was fully estimated before it was
made law. This incident in Wythe
county and the one which occurred in
Buchanan county last year make it
plain that the designers did not over
estimate the work that the poll tax
qualification could and would do in the
way of robbing honest white men of
the right to vote.
The ignorant or dishonest Democratic
officials can fail to put the names on the
certified lists, and Democratic judges
can say, "You apply to me too late for
relief" but, thank God! it is not too
late for the honest men in Virginia to
give relief to their defrauded fellow
citizens by a repeal of the iniquitous
poll tax qualification for voting.

FIRES THAT NEVER GO on
There Are Hearths in England That
Have Been Kept Glowing
for Centuries.

There are domestic fires burning in
Yorkshire, England, to-day which have
never been out for hundreds of years
At the old-fashioned farmhouses in the
dales of Yorkshire, peat is still burned
The fuel is obtained from the moors and
stacks Of 1t are kept by the farmers in
their stack garths.
The country round Is noted for its
"griddle cakes" which are made from
dough baked In quaint pans suspended
over the peat fires. These fires are kept
glowing from generation to generation
and the son warns himself at the fire
which warmed his sire and his grand
sire and his grandslre's sires and which
will warm his son and his sons son.
There is a fire at Castleton, in the
Whitby district, which has been burning
for over 200 years. The record prob
ably is held by farmhouse at Osmoth-
erly, in the same district. This fire has
been burning for 500 years, aud there
are records to show that 1t has not been
out during the last three centuries.

UNCLE SANS MOHAMMEDANS.
EnuIlsh Traveller Has a Good Word fol
Moros of the Philippines.

The Mohammedan tribes-Maginda-
naos, Malanos, Sulus and others-were
tclassed by the Spaniards under the
rather vague name of Moros, and the
Americans have adopted the same col
lective term for them. On the whole,
the Moros let US use the word for the
sake of it's convenience-ar the best
people the Americans have in the Phil
ippine Islands. They are great work.
ers of the land: they are docile enough
when you know them, and they have as
fair an idea of what is right and wong
as most of us possess. They are strong
and wiry, good fighters and keen sports
men, born traders, and faithful beyond
words to their lords and masters. In
argument they would be more than a
match for good many white folks, and
they have an agreeble sense of humor.
They have lofty religion, which they
cannot be induced to change. To my
mind, such men are excellent material
for development under proper leader
ship, writes A. Henry Savage Lander,
the well-known English traveller, in
Munsey's Magazine.
1t is true that at times they have an
unpleasant way of cutting up innocent
Christians with their evil-looking
swords. Extra fanatical, Moros occa-
sionally decide to be what Spanish cali
ed juramentados. They undergo GER
tain exorcisms and additions, shave
their heads, boards, eyebrows, and arm
pits, and sally forth to murder one or
more Christians. When they have kill
ed their man, or their men, they COM
nit suicide, in sublime confidence that
they will go straight to heaven. AS one
never knows when one of these fellows
may wish to travel heavenward before
his natural lifetime expires, it is not
strange that timorous Christian in the
land of the Moros should feel more or
less uncomfortable and suspicious of
those around him. But juramentados
are not so common as some have rep
resented. They are generally the re-
suit of some public grievance or injus-
tice to the tribe, when one or more men
sacrifice their lives for revenge on be-
half of their fellows.
Religious fanaticism is difficult to con-
troll in any country, and the Moros have
views on their right to an undisturbed
existence.
After all, +" they reason, "this is our
land, and has been so for centuries. We
