Nerve Poisoning Through indigestion.
Prof. Bouchard. the eminent French
scientist, has shown that the decompo-
sition of food which often takes place
In the stomach and intestines in in
digestion gives rise to powerful pol
sons. When absorbed into the body,
these produce effects entirely similar
to those produced by strychnia, opium,
alcohol, and other poisonous drugs. II
food is retained in the stomach be-
yond the normal time, either because
of its indigestibility, the taking OF too
large quantity Of it, or crippled
state OF the stomach, these chenges
are certain to take place.

AT THE HUskIs' BEE
Jehs ffsfrsw sf This civ Was Thsrs
 With Whois Damn Family

New Britain. Oct 13e-In Odd Eel lows hall Wednesday night, every time a coy maid or ardent youth barred 9 red ear there was a rush and clineh and d smack. and then break away and general jubilatiOn for few min utes. when another red ear would be discovered and the scene would be re- peated.
 The interesting occasion was the an- nual "husking bee" under the auspices of Phoenix lodge. Twenty-Five bushels of corn still eHcased in the green wrap pings of nature were thrown onto the floor and twenty or thirty men and women, boys and girls, went at it in competition for prize The ancient tradition regarding red ears was re- ligiously adhered to- Every crimson ear meant smack in which the dlscoy- erer, if 1t happened to be of the femi- nine sex, was the receiver. If the dis c0verer was of the genus masculine he was the transmitter.
 If the scientist who put the kibosh on kissing the other day had happened to be present for a few minutes, lie would have tainted away in horror. The sweet sounds of osculation were heard throughout the hall. while Il big audience of 800 looked on and applaud ed.
 There was one big handsome youth who was paired off with carniyOrous appearing partner. From the frequen- cy with which she emitted shriek of glee when finding red ear, her part ner became suspicious While they were locked in the ecstaey of Nelson Britt hug, he sIyly twisted off few dozen kernels.
 Heres another. oh joyg' she shout ed out few minutes later, after a bustling display of industry.
 Not for mine" said the young man from Kensington. That's ringer and he pointed to the Identification marks upon 1t.
 He escaped, remarking as he straight ened out his wflted collar: This is too much of good thing
 It had been announced that a frol- icksome young porker would be given to the person husking the most corn, while a battleson1e looking rooster would go to the person who carried off
  second honors. Both the pig and the rooster were there and they displayed lively interest In the affair.
 Miss Ada Rich won first prize, dis tancing all competitors. She is rosy checked lass. with a country bringing up, although she is now employed at the H. B. 0lmstead factory. She tore off husks like machine and she didn't overlook any red ears, either. Mrs Guy Dewey was second and she showed that she was not tired out by |-capturlng the roostef.
 The whole Damn family was there. The family was conducted by John Morrow of Waterbury. It gave short entertainment There were violin solos. Highland fling and a barn yard dance A lunch of cold ham, pumpkin pie and cider was served. The musk ing bee" was a great success.

SKUNK SKINS AND SKUNK OIL.
By the Light of the September Full
  Moon Massacre Begins in Maine.

The September full moon, the time for hunting skunks in eastern Maine, and about one hundred of the unem- ployed countrymen take dogs, and, going out to the meadows where the fat grasshoppers are asleep, select their game by the moons rays and kill and skin all the dark colored skunks they can find, leaving those of lighter complexion to survive are winter as best they can and bring up a new brood for next falls killing.
 Fashion in fur regulates the price of skunk skins Three years ago the coat of dark skunk was worth from $2.50 to S3 and there were not enough to supply the demand. Since then the muskrat has supplanted the skunk as the wearer of profitable skin and only the yery choicest of skunk belts sell for $2 this season.
 But when there are from ten to a dozen fat skunks to be had on every acre of meadow land, when a hard wood club is the only weapon requir- ed in the killing, and when every fat skunk, regardless of its color, holds more than a quart of oil, which Is worth s gallon wholesale. there are always men who will chase skunks for the money there is in the business.
 From 100000 to 10000 skunks are slain fin Maine every year. The prac- tiee of killing the black ones and leaving those of lighter color to per petuate the race has reduced the In come received from the furs to q small figure and has practically ex- terminated the dark skunks, but the demand for skunk oil is steadily grow ing and the price has gone up $1 a gallon since last year.
 The oil Is used by residents of Maine, who esteem 1t highly for its virtues in curing rheumatism and stiff joints, and the druggists sent many gallons out of the state to be sold in Boston and New York. It is probable that nearly 25,000 gallons of skunk oil Is produced in Maine every year.
 Most of that used locally is pure, but some of the oil sent out of the state is adulterated with fat obtained from hens and woodchucks. As the impure oil seems to effect as many cures as the genuine article. the men who work the imposition on the pub lie stand small chance of detection.
 Most of the skunk pelts taken in Maine are sent to Philadelphia where they are tanned, dipped in black dye and made up into furs for ex- port to France and Germany, in which countries they pass as monkey skins.
 The killing of skunks begins in Sep tember and continues for about q month. by which time all the fat ones that contain oil have denned for the winter. It Is estimated that the Maine skunks yield an annual revenue of from $125.O00 to $f5O,O00. which Is double the sum made from all the honey bees in the state.

Under Mayor AshbridEe, Abraham
 L. English, and Four Others
 Held For Hearing.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.-The ad- rninistration of Former Mayor Samuel H. Ashbridge was brought into the To- cal political turmoil here when war rants were sworn out for the arrest of Abraham L. English, who was director of public safety during the term of Mayor Ashbridge, and four others charging them with conspiracy to cheat and defraud the city in connection with the execution and carrying out of a contract for the erection of smallpox hospital which is one of a group of buildings forming the new municipal hospital.
 The other accused men are John W. Henderson and Henry E. Baton of the contracting firm of Henderson & Co, Philip Johnson, former city architect and brother-in-law of Israel w. Dur ham, leader of the local Republican or ganization, and James D. Finley, cousin of Durham's and a former in- spectof at the new municipal hospital. Henderson, Baton and Finley entered ball in S5,o00. Former Director Eng lish and Architect Johnson were ont of the city, but friends of the latter en- tered bail for his appearance. Close friends of English said he will also ap- pear at the hearing
 The warrants were sworn out at the instance of Mayor Weaver and are based on the results of an investigation covering a period of several weeks. The investigation was made by ". Bleddyn Powell, city architect, assisted by several other experts. No one iden- tified with the prosecution will make a statement relative to the manner in which the city Is alleged to have been defrauded. The warrants duplicate "others to the deponent. now unknown" and there is much speculation as to the identity of the unknown men.
