Gov. whitman's assurance to Mayor

Mater hemloek.

II you are fond Of parsnips you
should before eating them make sure
that they are parsnips and not the poi
sonous roots of the water hcmlock.
The water hemlOck grows in marshy
places in various parts Of the United
States. It's roots, which look almost
exactly like those of parsnips, are full
of a deadly poison known to science as
spasm0tOXin.
Animals frequently die from eating
the hemlock and occasional cases OF
serious illness and death among hui
man beings have resulted, from eating
parsnips with which the poisonous
hemock roots had been mixed by mis-
take. In India the water hemlock is 8

ARGUING With an Expert.

Never argue with an expert. 1t Is
useless. There is no way Of making
Roadway against him. Though you
may know much more than he does,
you can't possibly get him to admit it.
His main defense lies in the possession
of his own special vernacular. No ex-
pert is complete without a vernacular.
Many experts have nothing more.
In arguing with an expert he always
begins by assuming, first, that you
don't know what you are talking about
and, second, that if you did know
what you were talking about you
couldn't talk about it intelligently, be-
cause you lacked the specific vOcabu-
larry that the subject demands. AS the
argument proceeds he spends so much
time asking, "Just what do you mean
when you use the word Pr and you
spend SO much time explaining your
terms that you totally forget what you
are arguing about. Obviously when a
man forgets what he is trying to prove
he should Immediately quit trying to
prove it.-Life.

The Poet of Provence.

From his early romantic success b
his golden maturity Frederic Mistral,
the Provencal poet. had n sort of leg
endary destiny almost uRheard of in
the modern world. When he came into
the dining room Of the little hotel in
Aries where he used to lunch after a
visit to his museum even the stiff
backed British tourists found them
selves ieaping to their feet, with the
rest Of the company and cordially re-
turning his fine salute. Travellers who
have had the fortune to catch h glimpse
of him OH some fete day at Aries or
Mines OF Orange will never forget the
impression he made. Standing on the
stone bench of Il Roman arena, lifting
his black sombrero as the close packed
crowds rose in great swelling waves
to break into the shout "Mistral!' he
seemed the very symbol and type Of
the legendary youth and JOY and beau
ty OF Provence. His natural eminencc
was tempered by such natural simple
ity that popular response to it was as
spontaneous as it was sincere. His
gracious presence defied time, and he
wore old age like a wreath Of myrtle.

Ancient couriers.

1t was the custom OF the couriers Of
the middle ages to carry silver beads
in their mouths to lessen thirst. In
certain districts of India which are not
traversed by railways the ancient cou-
riers still survive and carry mails from
village to village. In the jungle dis
tricts they carry bells about their
necks to brighten away tigers. The
lsAmerican Indians had their swift rum
ners, who carried message in times OF
war between allied tribes or from the
warriors in hostile territory to their
native villages, and extraordinary tales
are told Of their swiftness and epdur-
ance. The running messenger IN Eu-
rope was succeeded by the mounted
messenger, and as civilization pro-
crossed systems Of couriers were es-
tablished, which slowly evolved into
the modern system Of posts.

Yellow is an extremely fashionable
