THE ART OF POISONING.
Subtle Methods Used by tho Natives Of
Central Africa.

Central Africa.
The Central African native Is a mas
ter In the art of poisoning and always
on the watch for It. He will never
take drink Of water or beer or eat
OF a dish, even when offered by a
peaceful acquaintance, until the host
has eaten or drunk some OF It to pledge
Its harmlessness. He is always In
fear OF treachery, and with good rea-
son, for an assassin Is cheaply hired
Vegetable poisons may be made by al
most any one, and the methods Of ad.
ninistering them are cunning beyond
description.
One Of the cleverest ways, often re-
sorted to when q man gets into his
head an idea that a nelghbor 10 injur-
ing him by witchery, is to kill the un-
suspecting victim by means Of poison
ed stakes and at the same time avoid
suspicion, which would inevitably lead
to similar vengeance.
Procuring little sharpened sticks, the
murderer hollows their points and In

creepers) into the cavities. These he
secretly plants upright, but leaning a
little along the path which leads from
the doomed Negroes hut to his garden.
Sooner or later the intended victim
slightly lacerates his bare foot by hit

takes no notice OF the scratch, for be
Is used to such trifling injuries, but In
q few moments his foot and leg begin
to swell, and an hour or so later he
expires In agony.
The bark and roots of several trees
and shrubs yield virulent poisons when
properly brewed, one of which has the
peculiar effect of at once paralyzinR
the organs of speech. The gall OF the
crocodile when dried In the sun and
pulyerized is also very deadly. The
most fatal poison, however, is that
prepared from an ugly, whitish tree

that neither moths nor snakes will 20

branches.
To make this poison the wood is
burnt and its ashes are mixed with
water and then boiled down to a thick
paste. The natives will travel hum
