United States ambassador at

this country's service. He has a
long established reputation for
doing thoroughly everything he
undertakes.
Griscomb has been ambassador
to Italy since March 6, 1907. He
began his diplomatic career in

POISON, FALLING
ON FOOD, KILLS

DUBLIN, Jan. 1y.-An extraor-
binary murder trial, in which the
defense to a charge of husband
poisoning was that the poison
fell from the rafters of the roof,
has taken place at the Ulster as
sizes. BY acquitting the accused,
the jury accepted the plea put for
ward on her behalf. The prisoner
was Elizabeth Kirkwood Docherty
who was indicted for the murder
of her husband near Dallymoney,
county Antrim, last June.
The solicitor-general, prescott
ing, said the deceased, who was a
farmer, died of strychnine poison,
administered to him at his sup
per, which was prepared by the
prisoner. He would, counsel de-
clared, satisfy the jury that no
human hand was laid upon an egg
which contained the poison from
the moment 1t was broken in the
pan until 1t was eaten except that
of the accused. Death occurred
the following morning.
A week later one of the prison
er's daughters, aged three years,
also died from strychnine poison
which had been taken in milk
The husbands remains were ex.
humed after this second death and
an analyst would give evidence
that the stomachs of both de

Edgar Allan Poe was Buddy
and he wrote "The Raven" in that
garnet, beside that bed and while
the world without was shouting
the praises of this new poet, Poe
was kneeling at HER bedside
breaking his heart.
Now the little cottage In Ford
ham is painted very white with a
black raven drawn just below the
attic window and word to tell
the public that Edgar Allan Poe
lived there in 1S45. And ism t
it the irony of fate that on this

anniversary of Sissy-s death,
there is a memorial service in the
cottage for the great poet? To-

the cost of keeping this relief In

raven on the house, the cost of

Buddy worked hard trying to
write at the poor little table be-
side the bed, but it was a heart
breaking task and the luxuries that
were so pitifully needed did not
come as they should.
Buddy was not strong; he was
not well physically. His thin,
white face should that, and he was
representative; every cough from
the poor little throat sent an ac-
companying shudder through him.
He dreaded death, perhaps he
feared it. At every movement
from Sissy he started into a panic
of fear lest death was already at

The PARAGUAYANS.
A Lazy, Happy -go-Iucky People In q
Bankrupt Republic.

The infusion Of Spanish blood and
a people with the faults and good quail
ities Of both In about equal parts.
Dark Of complexion, with strongly
marked Indian features, essentially
gentle when unrestrained or not un-
duly excited, careless Of the morrow,
poor and honest, hospitable and gen.
erous, indolent and uncultured, strong
ly Catholic In theory, but generally lax
In religious performances as to dog
mas-this Is rough sketch OF the ma
tive people Of Paraguay. Asuncion,
the capital, and even the smaller
places-Villa Rica, San Pedro, Villa del
Pillar, Villa Conception - have their
aristocratic families, Of which the
daughters and sons are sent to Europe
to be educated and which maintain an
exclusiveness that must be almost isO-
lation. But In general the people min
gle readily.
In the early morning In the streets
Of Asuncion the women gather In their
long white dresses and barefooted to
sell their wares. The younger women,
judged by our standard, are beautiful
and from carrying baskets and water
jars on their heads have attained an
erect and graceful carriage which our
young women could well initiate. Be-
sides, when they laugh they show two
rows Of pearls, and their speech In
soft Guarani patois Is worth going far
to hear
When you see Asuncion you see Par
aguay, for it Is the most advanced
city I'm the republic. It's streets are
poorly paved, it has mule cars which
run at long intervals and low speed,
and the hotel accommodations are not
exceptional, but there Is kind Of lazy,
happy-go-lucky gayety about the city
that represents the national feeling.
Paraguay Is hard up-yes, almost stone
broke. The currency Is paper and the
value so small that for hundred dol
lars one receives basketful OF ragged
stuff, printed In Germany, to represent
some nebulous Indebtedness OF the re-
public. Gold does not stay long In
Paraguay, nor does 1t often enter the
country.-Van Norden Magazine.

EXPLOSIVES.
Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
Nitroglycerin.

Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
NitrosIycerin.
The best way to destroy ordinary
black gunpowder IS to throw 1t into a
stream under conditions that prevent
any harm coming to human beings or
animals through the dissolving OF the
saltpetcr. If no suitable stream Is
available, the gunpowder may be stir
red with water in tubs, or the dry gun
powder may be poured out on the
ground in long thin line and ignited
with fuse at one end.
TO destroy dynamite cartridges the
paper wrappings should be carefully
removed, the bare cartridges laid In a
row with their ends in contact and the
first cartridge ignited with fuse with
out a cap. Even with these precau-
tions n simultaneous explosion OF the
entire mass may occur, so that 1t Is
wise to retire to a safe distance. The
row OF cartridges should be laid paral-
lei with the wind and ignited at the
leeward end, so that the flame will be
driven away from the mass.
Frozen dynamite should be handled
with special care, as It's combustion Is
peculiarly liable to assume an explo-
s!ve character. A small quantity Of
dynamite may be destroyed by throw
ing 1t in very small bits into an open
fire, or the cartridges may be exploded
one by one In the open air with fuses
and caps.
Dynamite should never be thrown
into water, rs the nitroglycerin which
It contains remains undissolved and
capable Of doing mischief. Other ex-
plosives which contain nitroglycerin
should be treated in the same way as
dynamite.
Ammonium nitrate explosives may
be thrown in small fragments into an
open fire or II they do not contain nj
troglycerin may be destroyed by means
Of water. Explosive caps should be ex-
ploded singly with pieces Of fuse.-Sci-
entitic American.
