PolsoNs IN TOBACCO.

Tobacco destroys the taste, smell and
digestion.
Tobacco kills mental, moral and
physical vigor.
Tobacco paralyzes the mucous mem
branes and glands.
Tobacco's most dangerous poison.
nicotine, is without antidote.
Tobacco contains prussic acid, am
monia, carbonic oxide and nicotine
Tobacco contains stronger poisons
than opium, alcohol, absinth or choral.
A single leaf Of tobacco or single
cigar contains enough of this poison to
kill man if applied properly.
Nicotine is the most deadly poison
known to the pharmacopoea. A single
drop or a grain will kill large animal.
Nicotine resembles prussic acid in ap-
pearance, effects and activity. Nico-
tines victims die in violent convul-
sions.-New York American.

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
An Old Cutters Ad~ice to Men Who
Use n RnZOr


Use n Razor.
whenever | hone razor" said an
old English cutler, II always give some
advice with it, free, gratis, and 1 take
great satisfaction in knowing that |
have made shaving easier and more
comfortable for more than 10000 men.
Almost every barber will tell you how to
strop a razor, but it takes a cutler to
tell you how to care fer your strop and
how to get the best work out of your
blade.
"a swing strop, canvass on one side
and horse hide on the other, is the best.
Always hold it taut and draw the razor
lightly, but swiftly, from heel to point.
If you let the strop sag you will put
round edge on your blade. Don't for
get to cover your strop or put it away
in a drawer after using. If it hangs
in a bathroom near window the dust
and CRIME get into it and soon take
the edge from your razor. Whether
you keep the strop covered or whether
you don't, rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free it from dust.
But what consider my most valua-
BILE advice is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the same
time improve the cutting quality Of the
razor's edge. Nine men out Of ten
shave themselves in room where
there is running hot water. Now, the
way to get Il most gratifying result is
this: Lather thickly and well and let it
remain on the face half a minute be-
fore you begin to shave. If you have
time wash it off, for with it will come
the grit and dirt that you have loosen
ed up in the pores of the skin, and then
apply a second coat. 1t will be as soft,
smooth and clean as new velvet.
Nov turn on the hot water faucet
and let it run. Hold the razor under
the stream until it is heated. Then
take a slanting, or diagonal, stroke, like
a farmer does with scythe, not a
square pull, and you will be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the hot
blade cuts the beard.
when it is filled with lather hold it
under the running hot water instead Of
using shaving paper. This will wash
off the lather and at the same time
heat the blade again. Don't be afraid
of taking out the temper. That would
be impossible if you put the razor in a
kettle and boiled it. Try the hot blade
and you'll never shave with the cold
steel again. New York World.

Bu6alo Calves.

Buffalo calves, as rule, are born
in April and May. They are active
vigorous little creatures, mild eyed as
domestic calves, but possessing much
greater strength and endurance. In a
few seconds after birth they can get
on their feet, and in twenty minutes
they are fit to fight for their lives.
Usually it is unnecessary for them to
defend themselves at this tender age,
as buffalo COW is quite capable Of at
tending to any business which may
arise in connection with the defense Of
her precious baby.-Washingto Star.

Our esteemed contemporary an
nounces that some one shot at him as
he was making his way homeward at
a late hour the other night. There are
three or four old mules wandering the
streets, and he was probably mistaken
for one of them. Either that or he

still lives after the hard winter.
We were told the other day that Hen
ry Halpin, the lawyer, had drawn up

MED point blank that such an idea had

to be an actor who was trying to reach
this town one day last winter to open

Breeds hill, but the most faithful

OBJECTION MADE TO THE USE OF

OFFICER SENT ON TRIP OF INSPECTION
WILL STUDY METHODS OF PACK.
ING AND PASS ON ALL FU-
TURE PURCHASES.

London. June 8.-The house of com.
mons assembled during the day after
the Whitsuntide recess and set to
work on the army appropriations. In
the course of the debate Hugh Cecil
Lea, Liberal "a newspaper proprietor
who has served in the British and
American armies), pressed the gov
eminent for an assurance that no more
American timed meat would be pur-
chased for the British army He as
serted from personal observation that
the conditions under which it is packed
are revolving.
War Secretary Haldane replied that
he would be sorry to insist that all
timed meats must be bought in the
United Kingdom. He intended to pur-
chase wherever he could procure the
best and purest and had already select
these matters, and had sent him to the
United States to inspect all tins care
fully before any were purchased. That
course would be pursued in the case Of
all timed meats
Mr.. Lea asked if this officer would
have access to the factory and be able
to see how the work was done, to
which the secretary replied:

in a door with his heel, and the train
men swarmed in and began looking
with their lanterns for the nightman.
The stove was red hot, but he was not
asleep in the armchair nor mapping I'M
der the counter on the supplies. They
turned to his table and discovered the
broken window and thought OF a hold
up. They saw where the nightman had
spilled something that looked like ink
over the table, over the order book,
over the clip, and there was a hand
print that looked inky on an open letter
addressed to the superintendent and a
little pool Of something like ink under
the key.

after it and cried out Setting his Ian
tern down on the platform, he craWled
through the broken sash and picked up
Bullhead.
Next morning it was all over the
West End.
And Bullhead!' cried everybody.
'"That's what gets me. Who'd have
thought it of Bullhead?"
When they all got up there and saw
what Bullhead had done everybody
agreed that nobody but Bullhead could
have done it.
The pilot bar of the short line mo-
gul In swiping Bullhead numerically
had really made railroad man of
him. 1t had let a great light in on
the situation. Whereas before every
one else on the line had been to blame
for his failures, Bullhead now saw that
he himself had been to blame and was
man enough to stand up and say so.
When the big fellows, Callahan and
Kenyon and Pat Francis, saw his trail
next morning, saw the blood smeared
over the table and saw Bullhead's let
ter of resignation signed in his own
blood manual, and heard his straight
out story days afterward, they said
never word.
But that morning, the morning after,
Callahan picked up the letter and put
it just as it was between the leaves Of
the order book and locked both in his
grip. 1t was some weeks before he
had talk with Bullhead, and he spoke
then only a few words, because the
nightman tainted before he got
through. Callahan made him under
stand, though, that as soon as he was
able he could have any key on that di-
vision he wanted as long as he was
running it, and Callahan is running
that division yet.
1t all came easy after he got well.
Instead of getting the worst of it from
everybody Bullhead began to get the
best of it, even from pretty Nellie Cas-
sidy. But Nellie had missed her open
ing. She tried tenderness while the boy
was being nursed at the Junction. Bull
head looked grim and far off through

Besides, what need has a young man

his forehead that people inquire about
and who within year after the Goose
River affair was made train dispatch

Bend-what need has he of coQuette's
smiles? His mother. who has honor
ably retired from hard work, says half
the girls at the Bend are after him, and
his mother ought to know. for she keeps
house for him.
