ayes. Germantown. Mr.. Smithe,
who is sixty years old boarded with
Mrs. Anna Barnes, at 1872 Maple

Having learned, they say that Mr..
Smithe recently spoke of the new
Walnut Lane bridge over Wissa-
hickon creek as being a good place
to commit suicide. the police have
requested the Park guards to make
a search along that water coure.
A search was also made last
night and this morning in and
around the marble yard, but with
out any clue to the missing man.
The police are making an effort to
locate son and and daughter who,
are said to live some where in Me-
vada. The former is said to be. an
Episcopal clergyman.
Though the missing man is
reported to be wealthy and
probably carried a substantial sum

has not been attributed to foul
play. Philadelphia Bulletin.

missing man is the father of Rev.

HAS An OLD RELIC
OF WASHINGTON

One of the most interesting
reIices of George Washington is
owned by the city Of Salem. 1t is
a medallion in wood carved after a
sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving. which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel
M:lntire, native genius with gift
for portraiturr. He studied Wash
ington when the father Of his
country visited Salem on his tour to
the east, and made the medallion
shortly afterward. to adorn the
arch over the west entrance of
Washington square, Salem. Here
the effigy remained from 1907
until 1850. when the arch was
taken down to give place to an
iron fence, still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in
the fireproof r"om atEssex institute,
Salem, where it is frequently
studied by artists and others as an
ond and striking likeness of the
great American whom no two
artists pictured alike Boston

SMOKING MERRIHUANA

Water bugs and worms are
among the tidbits in which the
Mexican peon delights. He catches
his bugs as they swim along the top
Of fresh water ponds. drying them
and then eating them with as much
zest as an American boy eats
peanuts. AS near as the peon can
explain it, their flavor is something
on the order of the chestnut, but as
no white man has ever tried eating
water bugs. or if he has doesn't
dare confess it. the exact taste of
these Mexican morsels can't be
described very accurately.
The poems dote too on the nice,
fat pulque worm. This insect is
about two inches lohg and half an
inch thick. They fry The dainty in
grease and pack it in brown paper
packages of a dozen worms, which
fetch 2 cents paper. An in
dustrious pulque worm collector
makes good living.
The worm inhabits the maguey
or pulque plant, from which is
distilled the aqua miel, or honey
water, of Mexico. After twenty
four hours fermentation it is very
intoxicating. Afer the Mexican has
primed himself with several drinks
OF aqua MEL and has smoked half a
dozen cigarettes made of the dried
leaf of the merrihuana weed and
brown paper he is ready for any
crime of violence. This combi
nation of stimulant and narcotic
has the effect of deluding the victim
into thinking that his enemy-and
every ppon as choice collection of
enrnies is pygmy in stature.
At the same time it gives him an
idea tnlt he is tremendously strong
and wonderfully brave. So he
5allics forth to make mincemeat of
his enemy or enemies and, as q
rule, lands in the local calabuose.
One of the peculiar effects of
merrihuana smoking is to distort
the size of all animals, making
them Of enormous size and horrible
shape. TIE smoker is filled with
horrible fear. something like the
horrors brought on by delirium
tremens. A kitten or a puppy t.
his distorted vision appears as some
terrible creature. A common sight
in Mexico is to see a swarthy
"greaser, armed to the teeth, file,
in terror from a small dog, while
he would fearlessly attack any mar
with his knife or his machcte.-

ANNUlT|ES AND OLO-AGE
PENSIONS IN OLD CANADA

Canada established postal savings
banks forty years ago and now has
about hundred and sixty thousand
eepositors in such banks. with
forty-five million dollars to their
credit. Tow years ago as further
encouragement to thrift the
Dominion government began writ
ing annuities. A Canadian. aged
20 say. may pay in twenty-five cent
week at any postoffice and be
assured of an annual income of
eighty-five, or of q hundred and
tn irty dollars at the age of 60.
He may pay in ten dollars year
and receive an annuity of q
hundred dollars at the age of CO..
Four dollars and seventy-tive cents
a year paid in on account of child
five years old insures him a yearly
income of hundred dollars at the
age of 60. Payment may be made
in any regular amounts at any
regular intervals and the annuity
will be what ever they produce,
compounded at 4 per cent interest,
free of expense. How many
young men who are self supporting
at all, could not spare twenty-five
cents a week?
The Canadian government makes
nothing out of the plan unless
getting many people of small
means in to the habit of putting by
a little sum every week or month
or quarter may be counted
national gain. We dor't seem to
count it 90 on this side of the
border. ...
But Can. da is more interested in
British affairs than we are; and
consequently, no doubt, was more
impressed by the spectacle of the
British government appropriating
many millions of pounds tc pension

SOME DANGERS OF ARSENIC

You no doubt have observed
the lily white complexion of some
women. These women are sacrific-
ing years of their lives for that
beautiful skin by the use of arsenic
said d. V. Duvall chemist of
Manchester, England.
at is a well know fact that
thousands of women in all countries
OF the world use the poison in
small quantities to bleach their
skin. 1t is an effective means of
whitening and clearing the COM
plrxion, but the complexion given
by its use has no permaneacy unless
the absortion of the drug be con-
tinued.
arsenic, as science has long told
us, is an accumulative poison. When
one takes it either by prescription
for the building of an appetite or
for the bleaching Of the skin he
does not feel any i'll effects for
several years. The effect of the
drug is bracing and makes person
feel like eating. 1t also aids the
digestion. The average user of
the poison takes it in such small
quantities that he does not realize
how much of it will accumulate in
his system in the course Of four or
five years.
Being an accumulative poison
it often takes that length of time
to see the results of the drug.
Then the user may complain Of
not being abe to control his fingers
or toes. Subsequently he loses
control of his hands and arms.
Arsenical poisoning is the result.
Five years ago in Manchester
there was an epidemic of
paralysis. Several thousands of
persons were stricken. Several
hundred died and the medical
profession of England made a
thorough invcs igaton Of the
malady and traced it to beer. The
investigation discovered that the
brewers were using glucose in the
brewing of their product. which
was found to contain a small
quantity of arsenic. This drug
imbibed in small quantities in
beer, had gradually accumulated
in the bodies of thousands Of
p ersons, had impoverished their
blood and left q great percentage
Of them helpless. W Washington
Post.
