Cleanliness end Arsenic.


In Syria and Carinthia there is
much arsenic eating among the peas
ants. The women take it to give
themselves a good complexion and to
make their hair fine and glossy. The
men take it because they believe that
it gives them wind in climbing in the
chase after chamois. In Syria and
Carinthia it is known that an arsenic
eater can never be broken of the habit
and that if arsenic be compulsorily
kept from the eater death rapidly en-
sues. 1t is believed in the lamar
and this is perhaps true-that an ar
senic worker is fit for no other work
He must remain at this occupation.
Health and breath fail him at other
empicyments. Eventually it may be
that chronic arsenical poisoning en-
sues. But this may be STAYED off. If
not wholly prevented. by scrupulous
cleanliness. by care taken not only to
wash in the changing house." but TO
battle freely at home. AS one Of the
foremen said to the writer. Against
arsenic the best antidote is soap taken
externally" -Chambers' Journal.

hotel manager. I'VE found this out

at wedding in which they were in

would have some dancing, SO the host

Would he? Not ON your life. He was

Clever Crows.

In a garden dog was eating piece
Of meat in the presence of four covet-
Gus crows. They evidently said a great
deal to one another on the subject, and
now and then one of them tried to pull
the meat away from the dog. which
he naturally resented. At last a big,
strong crow succeeded in tearing off
piece. with which he returned to the
tree where the others congregated. A
long powwow now ensued, which end
ed in all four crows flying down to the
dog, the leading crow dexterously drop
ping the small piece Of meat within
reach of his mouth. The dog immedi-
ately snapped at it. unwisely letting go
the big piece. which was seized by two
crows and carried to the tree. where 1t
was devoured with much 1uttering
and hilarity. while the cheated dog
walked away with every appearance
of discomfiture.-St Louis Globe Dem

The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn. but plucked. The process
takes place generally in June, when
the fleece is ripe and the silky wool
can be pulled off without pain. This is
called ''rooing' ana is much less dam
aging to the young fiber than clipping
with shears. Tie wool when thus han
died retains its peculiar softness, so
that any one Of experience can tell
whether the material Of d. knitted ar
ticle has been plucked or shorn. 1t

ders, so that sheep half pulled resem
BILE in some sort a poodle that is

handling prevailed at one time, for we
read that in 1916 the Scottish privy
council spoke Of the custom as still
kept up 'in some remote and uncivil
Places" and James I. wrote to tell
them that it~had been put down in Ire
land under penalty OF a fne. Upon
this they passed an act on March Al.
1916, deploring the destruction of sheep
thus caused and imposing similar fines
on those who should persist in the
practice.

Feats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at gallop, could send an arrow
through buffalo's body Remarkable
as this archery was. yet it did not
equal that reached by the archers of
ancient times. 1t is Of record that the
MacRaes of Gairlock, Scotland, were
such skillful archers that they could
hit man at the distance of 500 yards.
In 1894 the Turkish ambassador at
London shot an arrow, in field near
that capital, 415 yards against the
wind and 4S2 yards with the wind.
The secretary of the ambassador. on
hearing the expressions Of Surprise
from the English gentlemen present,
said the sultan had shot 500 yards.
This was the greatest performance Of
modern days, but a; pillar, standing
on a plain near Constantinople. record
ed shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir
Robert Ainslie, British ambassador to
the sublime port, records that in 1898
he was present when the sultan shot
an arrow 972 yards.-New York Press.

Following is the report of Hon. ".
o. Smith, managing trustee, on Luna
lilo Home for Aged and INDECENT Ha-
waiians:
Since the last annual report Mrs,
E A. Weaver rendered her resignation
as manager of the Home. which res
ignation took effect May /, 1912. Mrs.
Weaver had been manager of the
Home since May !, 1901, and thus COM
pleted eleven years of service.
The trustees appointed Mr.. Alfred
Fl. Smith TO be manager and he took
charge on May LIST. He is ably assist
ed by his wife. and the Home and its
business is being we'll cared for.
1t will be seen by the managers re-
port that on the LIST of August. 1911,
there were Sc inmates and on July
81, 1912, there were CO. and the daily
average was 5S.49.
In estimating the average cost per
capita in maintaining the Home the
practice has been to include the ex-
penses directly incurred in connec-
ton with the Home; these expenses
come under the following heads: Run
ming expense, care of grounds, medi-
cal attendance and medicines, stables
and carriages and repairs. The aver
age cost per capita during the past
year has been 1915, while the cost per
capita for the previous year was
$174S2. The cause of this greater
cost was the unusual expense in
CURED for repairs, these costing in
1912 $2,649.S5, while in 1911 they
cost only $3.50. The difference be-
ing $2,622.35, which expense alone
would average $44.S1 per capita. With
out these unusual expenses for re-
pairs the average cost per capita
would be $170,19
The following table gives the aver
age attendance during the past ten
years and average cost per capita:

tubs. In 1903 the average cost was
$2S4.77, due largely to the expenses
of; a general overhauIing and repair
ing during that period. Ordinary re-
pairs are made each year but from
time to time larger and more expen-
sive repairing is necessary.
An examination of the records
shows that the. total number of in
mates at the Home since il was open
ed in 1883 has been Az. OF these 329
were men and 143 women, making 30
per cent. men and 80 per cent. women.
This is probably due to the fact that
the children, grandchildren and rela-
tives are more inclined to provide for
the mothers and grandmothers.

Der of persons admitted as inmates
