Washinqton's Sprinu.

The first thing that greets the eyes
of a stranger alighting from the train
at Cold Spring, a village resting snug
~ in the highlands of the Hudson, is
Washington's spring, inclosed by three
powders in the rough, which, as one
approaches, are seen to contain a tiny
pool of spouting water. An inscrip-
ton in relief upon the bronze plate
announces that General George Wash
ington, in frequent visits to the Ameri-
can troops encamped near by during
the war of the Revolution. drank of
this spring and gave it it's name, Cold
spring."
The encampments referred to were
principally upon the famous Constitu-
ton island, just below, to which was
attached one end of the great chain
which was stretched across the river
to West Point and checked navigation
by the British warships during the
Revolution.

a POISON EPISODE.
When Famous Chemist Was Silenced
In Court by a Judge.

In Court by Judge.
There was a famous poisoning case
In England many years ago in which
the strong point Of the defense was to
show that the accused, who was an
expert chemist, would not have used
poison which could be so easily found
after it had been taken into the hui
man system. Sir Robert ClI..isteson,
professor in Edinburgh university. a
famous expert on toxicology. whose
works are still standard on that sub
ject, was put on the stand to prove
this point When he declared that
chemist would certainly use some poi
son which would leave no trace, the
prosecuting attorney asked him if he
meant to say that there were such
| poisons.
Sir Robert replied in the affirmative.
The prosecutor asked, Name themv'
"Nov' shouted the judge. IT forbid
you to answer that question:
In spite Of the protests Of the prose-
cutor the judge would not allow the
expert publicly to give the name Of a
poison which would leave no trace.
and the question remained unan-
| swered.
Now comes the curious part Of the
story. During the next two years Sir
Robert received more than 1000 let
tiers from all parts of the world ask
ing, begging, offering to buy, the name
Of the untraceable poison alluded to in
his testimony. Many of these he kept
as curiosities, showing them to his
friends as evidence of the depravity Of
human nature. Some of the excuses
for wanting the name of the poison
were very ingenious. One man was
writing a novel based on poison plot
and wanted to make use of the un-
traceable poison idea. He did not
want to give the name of the poison in
his book, but just wanted to have it
| by him in case any scientific critic
should deny the possibility Of such poi
| sons, when he could send him the
name in private letter and quote the
distinguished authority from whom
it came, etc. Several persons profess
ed to be studying chemistry and asked
for the information on the ground Of
professional courtesy. To all such Sir
Robert would send the advice to pur-
sue their studies and they would soon
know as much about it as he did.
Many offered large sums Of money for
the secret, usually pretending they
had bet still larger amounts that they
could find it out in a given time and
were willing to share their profits lib
orally with Sir Robert
The thing which most impressed Sir
Robert was the number of persons all
over the world who seemed DESTROYS
of possessing the secret of an agent
that would kill, but leave no trace, and
the amazing falsehoods to which they
! would subscribe their names in order
to obtain the information. 1t is said
that whatever poison Sir Robert had
in mind at the trial he never mention
ed it, not even to his classes, so strong
~ was he impressed with the danger
of letting such thing become matter
of public knowledge.

HIDDEN DANGERS.

Nuture Gives Timely Warnings That No
Princeton Citizen Can Afford to Ignore.
Danger Signal No. l comes from
the kidney secretions. They will warn
you when the kidneys are sick. Well
kidneys excrete clear, amber fluid.
Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale
and foamy, or thick, red, ill.smell.
ing urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
Danger Signal No. comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy: or sharp and acute, tell you
of sick kidneys and warn you of the
approach of dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Here's Princeton
proof:
Mrs. Ida M. Fogg, Princeton,
Mimi, says: 81 suffered so severely
from kidney trouble about two months
ago that I was laid up in bed. The
secretions we're profuse and unnatural
and caused me great annoyance. I
was very weak, my eyesight was
affected and my head ached so severe
ly that I really thought I would go
frantic. My moher advised me to
give Doan's Kidney Pills trial and
I procured a box at the Home Drug
Store. They benefited me in every
way and it gives me pleasure to
recommend Them"

Her Awful Sin.

A little girl of six once went in great
distress to her mother, saying that she
had committed sin which could new
er be forgiven and which was too bad
to be repeated. By dint of a little
coaxing she was induced to make a
full confession, which was in this
wise:
Il felt so sorry for poor Satan and
wanted to give him little comfort.

poured it down a little hole in the
