Dafi,odiI Poisoning.

A large number of plants which are
usually looked upon as harmless pos
sess poisonous properties, says the
Dundee Advertiser. Those who are
employed in picking daffodils and mar
cissus frequently suffer severely from
\ troublesome skin affection known as
"datfodil poisoning The most trying
feature of this ailment is the small
gatherings which form under the fin
ger nails. 1t is said that minute crys-
tails of lime exist i'll large numbers in
tho Juice Of the stems of the pretty
blooms and that these are responsible
Cor the poisoning. Regular daffodil
pickers are accustomed to rub their
hands with oil and work tallow in I'M
ierneath their finger nails before be-
ginning their work The bulbs of the
white Roman hyacinth have similar
unpleasant properties.

A Peer and His Patent.

After it is once issued the patent for
the creation of a new peerage cannot
be altered. Otherwise Lord Glerawly
would be written Lord elena wiley, as
Glerawly was written by clerk in
mistake for this word. Another in
teresting case Of a similar nature is
that OF Charles Pawlet, afterward
third Duke of Bolton. who died in
1854. In 1111, while his father. the
second duke. was still alive. Pawlet
was made a peer as Lord Pawlet of
Basing. although the intention of the
king and his advisers was to summon
him 10 the house of lords under one Of
his fathers Junior titles-that of Baron
st. John of Basing. However. the
writ OF summons had been made out
to Lord Pawlet of Basing, and Pawlet
bore this title until he became Duke of
Bolton in 1922. -WeStminster Gazette.

any kind. and finally managed to get
4 sufficient number of names stricken
from the remOnstranCe. Since the

aroused and are now victorious

Smiley, the belle of the village. every

One of the largest railroad signal
and interlocking switch plants in the
world has been put into operation by
the Delaware, Lackawana 4 Western
railroad. The new plant which is on
the electro-pneumatic system, controls
all OF the train movements at the new
Hoboken terminal and is the first
plant of the track circuit interlocking
type to be installed in this country.
I ..ere are 131 little levers that cleo
trically control the switches on every
track that runs into the terminal. The
old way of switching required at least
thirty men 10 do the work. Under the
new arrangement four men can do the
work in less time, and 50 perfectly
constructed is the plant that according
TO the engineers. it is almost impossi-
be to make a mistake.

lockjsw

The fearful tetanus. or lock jaw. was
ascribed in all the books when | was
student TO punCture or irritation Of
a nerve, and both hands and feet were
sometimes cut off to stop the irritation
going up the nerve to the spine. Now
we know that it is due to a fatal
poison in the blood which acts like
strychnia, though more painfully. and
which is produced by a bacillus lodged
in n punctured wound made by some
stick, nail or pistol wad on which this
evil bacillus happened to be. 1t is a
soil bacillus and swarms in rich gar

Bandit Got Thirty Cents.

A lone bandit, masked and armed
with a large-caliber automatic re-
volver, held up a San Pedro street
car, No. 220, en- route to the East
Side barn shortly after 1 o'clock Fri
day morning, and robbed the car crew
of 80 cents, all the money they pos
,sessed.
The man boarded the car near
Elysian park as it rounded a curve,
and, pointing his gun at the members
of the crew, who were both standing
near the front controller box, he de-
manded their money, at the same
time telling the motorman to stop the
car, which the latter did.
After searching the two men he
jumped from the car and disappeared
in the darkness.
Several dollars in change. which
the conductor had placed under the
inside seat OF the car, was not found
by the robber.
The man is described as being
about five feet ten inches in height
and of a slender build. He wore a
dark suit and SLOUGH hat pulled
down over his eyes and mask.
While coming from the police sta
ton, where they went to make the
report on the hold-up, the car crew
ran into the man at First and Broad
way whom they claim was the robber
and chased him for a block, but he
boarded south-bound owl on the
Pedro Heights line and escaped. The
car would not stop.-Los Angeles

OLLIE JAMES YIE
CREATING EXCITEMENT ABOUT
NATIONAL CAPITOL.
Kentucky Statesman Is Setting Styi'
In Neckwear For His Colleagues
In Congress.

Washington, April 9.--One OF the
principal objects of attention in the
house of representatives these days is
a new necktie that Ollie James is
wearing. Gallery visitors look at II
and marvel. The bald and shining
dome of Nicholas Longworth, the
bounteous bay window of Serene e.
Payne. and the fiery figure of Repre-
sentative Sulzer pale into insignifi-
canoe when compared with Ollie
James new tie.
1t is the brightest and the reddest
object in the world. Members of
congress, schooled in veracity, say
that they can always tell without
looking around in their seats when
the popular Kentucky member is APP
preaching because they can hear his
necktie sizzle and crackle, 1t is so hot.
On dark and gloomy days it serves to
illuminate the hous,, and ii already
has given promise of saving Uncle
Sam as much every year in electric
light expenses as Mr.. James salary
to.
For many years Nentuc,sy has been
setting the fashion in neckwear for
the national congress. When Joe
Blackburn was in the senate he wore
neckties that made the somber OLD
fossils in that body sit up and take
notice. But even Senator Blackburn
with his passion for necktie that
made a loud, reverberating noise,
never wore a pillar of fire and called
it a necktie. II remained for Ollie
James. one of the most popular, able
and distinguished representatives of
the Bluegrass state in the halls of
legislation, to set that pace.
