s25O,oOO,OOO FOR CANDY.
This Is About the Amount Spent AnI ally in the United States for Sweet

This is About the Amount Spent Annu-
 ally i'm the United States for Sweets.
 When we came to balance up our household accounts for 1907,' said man who likes to keep track of his expenses, i've found that we had spent for candy in the course of the year, about $60.
 There are five persons in our fam fly. and so the candy expense to us in 1907 was about SIP a head. which I guess is about what we usually spend for sweets annually. Now looked at by itself SIP doesn't seem like a great amount of money, only 23 cents a week for candy for each of us; but this year when I figured up our candy bill I found myself wondering what that would come to if everybody in the country spent as much.
 Putting the population of the coun- try, for the sake of easy figuring, at 80, ,000,00 and at SIP a head we should spend annually for candy $960, 0,000. .00O. Of course knew we didn't spend that much. but that way of getting at it gave me for the first time some idea of the enormous aggregate of the amount we do spend, an amount that even on the most moderate estimates turned out to be far greater than I had ever dreamed
 There are plenty of people in the country that spend in year more than my family does for candy, but no doubt many more that spend less: so just quartered the SIP a head and call ed 1t $3, which, not counting Sundays, would allow roughly speaking. for an expenditure for candy to every man, woman and child in the country of one cent day, this seeming to be entirely reasonable: and figuring on that basis got as the amount of money spent in T-NN hafA e, S240 900, 900. or to put in round num- bers, $250 100000, a figure that, great as it might seem. is probably approx imately correct. and that is indeed largely borne out by the statistics of candy production.
 "By a census taken in 1905 for the year 1904 the value of the country's manufactured products of confection- cry for that year was shown to be $87,- OS7,253, those figures, however, being for the products of manufacturing es- tablishments conducted under what is known as the factory system only, the product of all the many smaller estab- lishments. which was included in the census for 1900 being in 1904 omitted
 ''In printing the census bureaus fig ures of the candy production of 1904 The Confectioner,s Journal estimated the production of the small shops for that year at S29,525 .633 making the actual value of the confectionery pro duction of the United States for 19O4 S11 6.612.SS6.
 That, 1t will be borne in mind. was in 1904 The factory candy production in 1904 showed an increase of more than 43 per cent over that of 1899, the year showing in the 1900 census. The gross production of factories and small Ter establishments has probably in- creased at a greater ratio since 1904, but figurine if at fine same ratio and so counting the increase for the last year of the period of three years from 1904 at three-hfth of the factory increase from 1900 to 1904 inclusive, we should

How Indians Poison Arrows,

Denver Field and Farm.
 An old Cherokee Indian recently gave away the secret how the Indians of olden times used to poison their arrowheads for war purposes or for killing bears. They took a fresh deer liver. fastened it to a long pole, and then went to certain places where they knew they would find. rattlesnakes in abundance. About midday the rattlers are all out of their dens, 'coiled up in the cooking sun, The bucks would poke the first rattler they found with the liver on the long pole. A rattler unlike common snakes, always shows fight in preference to escaping. The snake would thus repeatedly strike at the liver with its fangs until its pol son was all used up, whereuponN it would quit striking and try slowly to move on. The bucks would then hunt up another rattler and repeat the per formance, keeping up the work until the liver was well soaked with snaKe poison. Then the pole was carried home and fastened somewhere in an upright position until the liver became as dry as bone. The liver was then pounded to fine powder and placed in buck. skin bag, to be used as needed for their arrows. This powder would stick like glue to any moistened surface and was death to any creature which 1t entered on arrows.
