Deadly Common Plants.

The things that give the most pleas
IRE in life frequently can also cause
the greatest pain. Among flowers, for
instance, the beautiful snowdrop the
hyacinth, jonquil and narcissus are
all poisonous, and to eat the smallest
part of the root of either of them
would produce fatal results, while the
juices of the leaves will cause violent
vomiting.
The berries of the yew tree have
killed many people, and the opium
obtained from peoples has also
claimed its victims, Ladys slipper
and lily of the valley are both danger
Gus, and if the blossoms of crocus are
chewed they will cause vomiting
Flowers from dubious roots, however,
seem to be the most dangerous, and it
might not be out OF place to dealers
in these to label them with a cross

INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.
How One company'e Assets Are Dis

be invested in securities of that state,
which securities shall be deposited in
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
ton, In addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of it's
assets, at the end of the second year
OF the new management. The Equit-
able now has $10,958, 900 invested in
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that to submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to its policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift Of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 37%o of its total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 of it's
total insurance is carried in these
states. It's investments are distributed

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
BY No Means a Pleasure, According
to One Traveller.

mo sooner has one plunged into
the water than one Is whipped of
ones feet and goes bobbing helplessly
about like a wretched cork" says Rev.
Haskell Smith of bathing in the Dead
sea. I'm the effort to regain ones
footing and to get back to shore, ones
feet and shins are barked by the
jagged stones and pebbles, and when
at length one does emerge from its
treacherous bosom, with the lower
limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes
aware of horrible tinsling and burn
ing sensation in eyes, ears, nostrils
mouth and almost every pore of the
skin, from the brine and bitumen
which have penetrated everywhere.
Unless great care Is taken the
bather in the Dead sea is liable to an
eruption, which breaks out all over
his body, and which Is commonly
known as the Dead sea rash The
best antidote to this is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor
dan and take second plunge therein.
The soft and muddy waters of that
sacred but dirty stream will effectual
ly remove the salt that has incrusted
the body"

The Case Of Central America.

AS the preservation of peace by the
Central American republics seems i'm
possible, IL has been suggested that
the United States and Mexico unite in
a protectorate over them after they
have been combined into single fed
GRAFTON. Mexico and the United
States already exercise an informal
oversight over affairs in Central Amer
lea. A little more than year ago
this country practically forced two of
the warning republics to come to
terms. This spring American war
ships patroled the coasts of Honduras,
Nicaragua and Salvador, protecting
the property of foreigners SO effective
ly that they seriously interfered with
the activity Of the contending armies.
The Mexican government has lately
struck hard blow at revolutions by
demanding that Guatemala surrender
the Guatemalans responsible for the
murder in lIexico of former Guate-
malan presia mt. II Mexico insists
that murder . murder even when
done in the name of Central American
revolution, the revolutionists will take
thought before they rise In arms.
There is growing determination In
the minds of Mexicans and Ameri-
cans, says Youths Companion, that IL
the Central Americans will not con-
duct themselves properly, force must
be used. Whether the outcome will
be q federation and formal protec-
torate it Is useless to prophesy. Sew
eral previous attempts at federation
have failed. All the republics have
agreed that arbitration is the proper
way to settle disputes, and formal
treaty providing for arbitration has
been concluded. But when dispute
arises, the republics disregard the
treaty and rush to arms. AS the
business of the world draws more
closely to the Caribbean sea some
way will be found to make the coun-
tries bordering it safe for the resi-
dence of business men.

Prince Louis of Orleans, regarded
by the monarchists of Brazil as heir to
Dom Pedro's throne, was not allowed
to land in Rio de Janeiro, when the
ship on which he was sailing to Para
quay entered the harbor The Brazil
ian authorities regard as still in force
the decree of Punishment against Dom
Pedros family, passed by the provis-
ional government Immediately after
the overthrow of the empire in 1889.
Prince Louis Is the second son OF the
former crown princess of Brazil and
the French prince, CASTOR of Orleans.
He was born in Brazil and the mon
archists rally round him rather than
round his crippled elder brother,
Pedro. The visit Of the prince to
South America has reused the royal
lists to a new interest in their cause,
and is not without interest to states
men in North America. But the pros
pect of royalist rising in Brazil, still
more of it's success. is remote indeed

Mrs. Aline DePasse, 776 e. 165th St.,
New York, N. Y, writes:
eft gives me pleasure to testify to the
curative qualities of Peruna and Mana
lin.
II was afflicted for over seven years with
cafarrh of the head, throat and digest
I've organs. Iconsulted many physicians,
but they did mo no good.
"One day 1 happened to read some tes-
timonials IN your Peruna almanac. 1
decided to try Peruna and Manalin. 1
bought bottle of each, and after taking
them for a week I noticed a change for
the better. So ] kept 1t up, and after
using twelve bottles 1 was perfectly
cured.
81 also gave the medicine to my chill
dren and they had the same beneficial
result. l would never be without these
remedies in the house.
81 highly mend Peruna and
Nanalin to all my friends, and in fact
to everybody"
Miss Mildred Grey, ITO Weimar ST.,
Appleton, Wis, writes:
at gives me pleasure to recommend
Peruna, for eatarrh of the stomach 1
had this disease for a number of years,
and could not enjoy mouthful of food
that I ate. 1t was indeed q great relief
when l hit upon Peruna, and obtained
decided results from the first. 1 took six
bottles before l felt entirely cured Of my
trouble, but had an aggravated case.''

GET-RlCH-QUiCk GAMES.
Government investigating the Opera
tors of Bucket Shops That Do
Business Through the Mails.

In times of prosperity there are al
ways chances for the CRATER. During
the past ten years has been the era
of the get-rich-quick man. No sooner
does one scheme play out than an
other takes its place. Thanks to the
ever diligent postal inspectors, and an
unrelenting government, the schemers
are not so plentiful as few years ago.
For some years number of supposed
legitimate grain and stock brokers
thrived in both eastern and western
cities. These were active in soliciting
through the mails, and through local
Offices the business Of small investors
The millions of money gained from
the unsuspecting people will never be
known. In New York, Chicago, ST.
Louis and other cities large and ex-
pensively conducted offices were main
tanned. Once the government got on
the right trail, there were Irregular
ties discovered that resulted in fraud
orders being issued against u number
of the concerns. The end Is not yet,
and the work of determination will be
kept up till there Is none in operation.
Buying stocks in a fair market is a
risky business, but when there are
schemers to stack the cards against
show. Many a bank clerk and bust
ness man can trace his downfall to
specializing in the bucket shops.

Railway accidents have been usually
ascribed to insufficient equipment.
Prof. f. ii. Dixon, In an article in the
Atlantic Monthly, concludes that the
real difficulty is not mechanical but
human. 1t is not the failure or the
lack OF the block signal that causes
the trouble, nor would the installation
of automatic stops and other devices
cure the evil. THE fundamental
weakness of American railroading
from the standpoint of safety is the
widespread and almost universal lack
of discipline" This conclusion &C
cords with the experience of the race
Disciplined armies poorly equipped
have triumphed over armies well ac-
coutered and provisioned, but lacking
In discipline. It is likely, however,
that railroad employees will point out
at once that the lack OF discipline be-
gins in the poor generalship of the
managers who demand impossible
things of their soldiers.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies' Have Poor Compilations
from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. l had been
drinking it for long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
Il formerly had as fine a complex
ion as one could ask for.
when / became convinced that cof-
fee was the cause of my trouble,
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as l made it we'll, ac-
cording to directions, liked 1t very
much, and have since that time used
1t In place of coffee.
Il am thankful to say am not ner-
vous any more, as was when l was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as 1t was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have fair complexion If she will
leave on coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious. healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that is in good condition, one
can depend upon a good complexion
as we'll as a good healthy body.

furnish their own blanks. Because the

UNITY OF INTERESTS.
Relationship Of Residents Of Rural
Communities to the Home Town.

Live and let live" is a policy that
has come down through the ages and
is an expression of the Golden Rule
only In different words. There Is in
born in man desire for self.preserva
ton. 1t is law Of life, and to this
desire can be attributed that which is
considered selflshness within US. Saw
age man has little regard for the
rights and properties of others. He
lacks the sense of equity and justice
and is guided solely by the brutal in
stincts. Intelligent man realizes that
all his fellow creatures are entitled
to the same rights he would enjoy
himself. Therefore where the Chris
tian spirit Is found, there can be look
ed for such equity as gives all an
equal chance to gain livelihood and
to enjoy the products of their labor.
There should be the greatest har-
mony among the citizens of every
community. The interest of all the
classes comprising a city or district
should be considered identical. 1t has
been noted that the most prosperous
towns have been built up by har-
monious and united effort of all the
people composing it. In these days
wnen there are evils to combat, when
oppressive trusts exist that are fac
tors in unequal distribution of wealth,
1t is all important that the masses in
each and every community unite and
work In harmony for the protection
and betterment of local conditions. 1t
it to be regretted that in many agri-
cultural communities there is lack
of harmony between what is called
the buciness interests and the produc
ers of crops. Different reasons may
be advanced for this condition, but the
most common cause is a misunder
standing on the part of the citizens
as to the relationhip that should ex-
list between them. 1t is wrong for
the teachings that go forth that the
farmers interests are different from
those of the merchant, or that the
merchants interests differ from
farmers of the community. 1t
is also an erroneous idea that the
IOWh 10 lOT Iut JOWuSDeODlc
and the country districts for the farm
er. Is it not true that the merchant
is dependent upon the farmer for his
support? And it Is equally true that
the town is an important thing to the
farmer 1t is convenience to him
and he is as deeply interested in all
that pertains to it, to it's advancement
and the betterment of it's public insti-
tutions, its streets, it's parks and all,
as are the people who reside within
the town. The merchants should real
lie how important the farmer is to
them, and the farmer should be
brought to a realization that the town
is for him as well as for those who re-
side within it's limits, and, that the
less antagonism between the resi-
dents on the farms and the residents
of the town the better it will be for
the whole community. There is
unity of interests that cannot bs
ignored, and there is common field
wherein all can work for mutual bene>
fit,
