ARSENIC EATERS.
Effects of the Drug on the Styrians,
Who Make 1t.

Who Make 1t.
Eating of arsenic is common in
Styria,'. said AloiS L. Steinzierl Of
Vienna. a manufacturer of chemicals
and drugs. THE Styrians. say that ar
senic makes one plump and comely
and gives one strength for great exer-
lions, such as running or mountain
climbing. Syria, which is in Austria,
gives the world vast quantities of ar
senic. The manufacture of this drug
Is indeed the main Syrian industry.
They who make arsenic eat it, as a
rule, for they say that only the arsenic
eater can Withstand the arsenic fumes.
These makers and eaters of the drug
are comedy. They have a clear color
and look much younger than they are.
The foreman in a certain factory
told me that in his boyhood, when he
first came TO that plant, he was adj
vised TO begin to eat arsenic lest his
health suffer from the fumes. He did
begin, and his first two or three small
doses gave him a sharp pain, like a
burn, in the stomach, and this pain
was followed by tremendous hunger
and violent disagreeable excitement.
But as his doses increased in frequen-
cy and size their effect became pleas
ant There was no longer pain or ex-
element. On the contrary. there were
4 ravenous appetite and a mood of joy
| Gus activity wherein the youth could
do three mems work.
This chap by the time he got to be
thirty was taking four grains of ar
senic Il day. He looked at thirty, with
his clear pink and white color. no more
than twenty-three. He was as robust
as blacksmith. But he said he would
lie at forty-five or so, that being the
age mt which all the Syrian arsenic
eaters die. Washington Herald

Peculiar "cure stones.y

Occupying an isolated position on the
moors about five or six miles above
Penzance, in Cornwall. a peculiar trio
of stones is to be seen. They are ar
ranged in straight line. the two out
side ones being four feet high and up
right. while the center one is little
lower, but much wider. In the last
mentioned there is a round hole large
enough to admit of a man passing
through. This pile is known as the
"Men-an-tol," or .'holed stone" Popu-
lar tradition states that any one crawl
ing through the hole in the center stone
will be forever immune from rheuma-
tism and allied complaints. In times
gone by the country people used to
bring their children to the holed stone
and pass them through Strand Maya.
