FROST.

There are two very distinct varieties of frost, ''black'' frost and white" frost. A white frost is indicative of the probability of rain, but two white frosts seen on consecutive mornings, and, still more, three white frosts so seen, are certain forerunners of rain within few hours. On the other hand, a black frost, especially if it comes 'on gradually during two or three days, indicates cold and dry weather. If during frosty weather mist disperses and small detached cir rocumuIus clouds appear in the upper air, a thaw may be expected. Cirro- cumulus is the scientific name for those clouds which are familiar to eve- rybody under the name of "mackerel sky" Some other signs of an impend- ing breakup of a frost are the follow ing: A watery sun at sunrise; the sun setting in bluish clouds, and casting reflected rays into them; the stars looking dull, and the larger ones only visible; the moons horns looking blunted.-Creamery Journal.

POISONED ARROWS.

Their Use in Warfare Dates Back to
 Prehistoric Ages.
 The use of poisoned arrows in primi- tive warfare is undoubtedly of very ar- cient origin. The custom is mentioned by Strabo, Pliny and Aristotle, all of whom agree that it was well known in both prehistoric Europe and Asia. In later times the Celts and Gauls en- venomed their arrow and spear shafts with the juices of the hellebore, and the American and Australian savages with serpent venom and virus from decaying flesh.
 The very earliest mention of the Scythfans refers to them as "a people who prepare arrow poison by mixing serpent venom with the virus of putrid blood serum. At the time of discovery of America the Indians were as well skilled in the science of preparing ar row poison as the Scythians or any other early tribe of European or Asiatic people. The favorite mode as practised by the American aborigines was to kill some wild animal, a deer or buffalo preferred, remove its liver and cause a heavily envenomed reptile to strike its fangs into it until the meat turned green poison. If one serpen did not suply enough others were obtained, and the work of engraging the creature and causing them to strike the liver was kept up until the desired results were obtained. One large liver thus prepare would furnish poison enough flo coat the shafts of 10000 arrows. The Smithsonian Institute has hundreds of these poisoned arrows, the microscope showing that most of them have been poisoned with rattlesnake venom.

HILL ROADS MADE MONEY.
G. NJ, N. p. and Burlington Are Bic
Profit Farmers,

Profit Farmers.
The fiscal year of 19O4-5, Just con-
cluded, was the greatest in the annals
of the Hill system of railroad lines.
Profits for the Great Northern are es-
timated at IL per cent on its stock,
Northern Pacific profits at 13 per cent
and Burlington earnings are placed at
approximately 100000 for its Joint
owners. The latter fact is given spe-
cial stress. as indicating the remark
able development of business since the
road was purchased by Mr.. Hill four
years ago. Striking results have been
attained by placing the Burlington un-
der the direction of exceptional oper.
ating talent.
The Hill system of roads has in
round figures 10000 miles of main
track. On this main track there are
outstanding a little more than $4O0,.
100000 Of bonds, making $4,000 per
mile Of bonded debt and a little less
than $400.000.000 of stock, being a lit.
tie less than $4,000 per mile of stock.
This excludes the Burlington Joint Is,
but includes the Burlington stock. The
whole is selling at market value of
about $4,000 per mile. This valuation
includes iron ore lands held by the
Lake Superior company In trust for
Great Northern. The fixed charges of
the system average about $3.50 per
mile. while the net earnings are about
$4,000 per mile, or substantially three
times the fixed charges.

Frank Mullach,
new CzARIS WANTED

A special telegram to the Chicago
Daily News from st. Petersburg says:
From most reliable source your
correspondent is informed that the
local reform leaders Of Moscow, most
Of whom hold official appointments,
have resolved that if the czar should
persist in his unyielding attitude they
will convoke q national assembly and
elect another czar.
Nicholas, however, seems to appre-
ciate the gravity OF the situation. His
object in selecting Washington as the
site for peace negotiations and Count
Muravieff as one Of the ENJOYS was to
gain time. He hoped that in the mean
time the interior troubles would SUBJ
side and that General Linevitch, hav-
ing been reinforced, would show the
Russians in favorable light in the
field.
Events have upset the calculations.
The country is torn by revolution.
MOSCOW itself threatens to name q pro.
vincial government.
Japan has now occupied the islands
OF Sakhalin and brought the war into
Russian territory. General Hazegawa
is Fastening to invade the province of
Ussuri. and thus the Japanese ENJOYS
will have q right to demand cession
OF territory.
Muravieff will now proceed to WASH
ington at once. The czar will also
leave for Moscow. He will instruct
various mayors of cities now in con-
ference there to meet him at the Hen
sky palace, where he will declare his
readiness to yield to their requst for re.
forms and will ask for their support.
