ARSENIC EATERS.
Effects Of the Drug on the Styrians,
Who Make II.

Effects Of the Drug on the Styrians,
Who Make It.
Eating of arsenic is common in
Syria" said Alois e. Steinzierl of
Vienna, manufacturer Of chemicals
and drugs. 1.-THE Styrians say that ar
senic makes one plump and comely
and gives one strength for great eXer-
tons. 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 1t, 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.
1.-THE foreman In q certain factory
told me that In his boyhOOd, when he
first came to that plant. he was ad-
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 sharp pain. like
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
a 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 day. He looked at thirty, with
his clear pink and white color. no more
than twenty-three. He was as robust
us blacksmith. But he said he would
die at forty-five or SO, that being the
age at which all the Syrian arsenic
eaters Washington Herald.

A Pereeverire Traveller.

A commercial traveller who is noted
for his perseverance once called on a
merchant and sent In his card. re-
questing an interview, says western
paper. Happening to glance into the
office he saw the recipient tear up his
card and throw it into the waste paper
basket. The office boy returned with
the old story that "Mr. B. was sorry,
but he could not see him."
The traveller. nothing daunted, re-
quested that Mr.. 3. should return his
card, which of course he had seen de-
stroyed. In a minute the boy returned
and handed him twopence and re-
marked that Mr.. B. had destroyed the
card and thought that this sum would
cover the damage.
The traveller succeeded in getting an
other card into Mr.. BIS sanctum, and
Mr.. r. read on 1t, "These cards are two
for threepence."
He got his interview, and Mr.. B. be-
came one of his best customers-Lon.

Sympathy Leans to Leas.

''There is one appeal to charity that
is pretty sure to be answered." said a
philanthropist. '"That is a request for
an artificial leg Legs. somehow. are
warmly appreciated by the general
public, and the fellow who has to
scrape along without one is the object
of sincere commiseration. During my
fifteen years experience in philan-
thropic work l have issued appeals to
the people at large on behalf of persons
who wanted various parts of theil
anatomy replaced. Some wanted teeth
some an eye, others hook like Cap
tain Cuttle's. Physical deficiencies of
that kind aroused but little interest,

that he was in need of a leg and

GEESE IN BERLIN.
Rigid Inspection Of tho Fowls imported
Into the CITY.

Rigid Inspection Of tho Fowls imported
Into the City.
The traffic in geese at Berlin amounts
to nearly $2,OO0,OOO year. AS the do
nestle supply is wholly inadequate, a
special goose train Of from fifteen to
forty cars arrives daily from the Rus
sian frontier. Each car is specially
built and carries about 1900 geese.
There is rigid inspection by sanitary
officials Immediately upon the arrival
of the train.
Should it be found that a single
goose has died or been Ill Of conta-
gious disease in transit the entire car
load is quarantined for eight days. II
during this period of quarantine an
other goose should die. the quarantine
IS extended for eight days. at Il cost Of
about $500 to the owners. The penalty
attaching to the bringing in of diseased
geese makes the owners extremely
careful to import only sound and
healthy fowls. The geese which are
plump and ready for market are sold
to dealers at the close of the inspec-
ton. The rest. comprising the great
majority, go to feeding farms in the
suburbs of the city to be fattened for
market.
There is a special market near the
great market place Mt which bracken-
namely. geese injured en- route, but
having no disease-are sold at re-
duced price. Twenty-one different va
rieties of the Russian goose are COM
mercially recognized. and the whole
sale price varies from a to 60 cents a
bird.-Chicago Record Herald.

tatives of grain and hay interests also
appeared.
Judge Cowan addressed himself
chiefly to arguments that have been
made against such legislation on the
ground that the car shortage has been
due to the inability of manufacturers
of rolling stock to keep pace with the
demands. He presented a mass of fig
ures showing the increase of business
compared with the increase Of equip
1nent, which he interpreted to refute
the objections made by the railroads
to the passage of the bill.
1t was said by Judge Cowan that
the bill before the committee is the
only one that has been formulated to
present in concrete and exact form
just what the shippers think ought to
be done. He said that all of the inter-
ests represented at the hearing were
in favor of the bill and these interests
involved the prosperity of the Trans
mississippi country.

TO IMPROVE THE CROPS.
Congressman Scott of Kansas Con,
ceves a Novel Plan.

Congressman Scott of Kansas Con-
ceives Novel Plan.
Washington, Feb. 15.-Representa-
tive Scott of Kansas, chairman of the
house committee on agriculture, has
conceived novel plan which he be-
Heves, If adopted, will enable the
farmers of the country to produce bet
tor and far larger crops than hereto
fore.
Mr.. SCOTS proposition involves the
establishment of 100 experimental
farms of one acre each in every ooun-
ty In a group of four Western agricul-
tural states for the purpose Of giving
the farmers a practical demonstration
Of the best methods of growing diff
ferent kinds of crops. 1t is proposed
that the lands for this purpose shall
be furnished by the farmers them.
selves and that they do the work Of
cultivation under the direction of the
experts of the department Of agricul-
ture. No additional appropriation
from congress will be required to test
Mr.. Scott's plan, it is explained, as
the agricultural department now has
the requisite number of experts to
carry out the plan.
Mr.. Scott declares that enough
money is now being practically wasted
by the department of agriculture in
sending out farm bulletins and gov
eminent documents to carry out his
scheme. He says t. 1T much valuable
information has been developed by
the experts in these publications, but
their contents are so little understood
by the farmers that they do not derive
the knowledge from them that they
should as to the best cultural methods
to grow corn, wheat, hay and the other
regular crops.
