DEADLY WEAPON or SAVAGEs
Slightest Scratch From Dart Used by
South American Tribe ls
Invariably Fatal.

The most celebrated of all weapon
poisons is the "woorari," employed
by the savages of the Orinoco ba-
sin in South America. 1t is an elab-
crate product. Two species of ven
omous serpents contribute to it, and
a third ingredient is the juice of a
vine allied to the plant from which
strychnine is obtained. To the mix
ture is added quantity of red ants
of kind whose bite is particularly
poisonous.
With this preparation are enven-
omed the darts which the natives of
that region fire from blowguns. The
darts are fashioned from the leaf ribs
of species of palm. They are ten
inches long, of the thickness of a
crows quill and made sharp as
needles by scraping them between
the teeth of the "pirai" fish. A
wrapping of wild cotton fits them to
the bore of the gun, and a puff of
breath fires the projectile.

PRINCESS HAD WRONG lDE.
Small Girls Paper Not Prepared for
Special Presentation to the Eyes
of Royalty.

A good many years ago, when
Queen Alexandra was still princess
of Wales, she had accompanied the
prince upon a ceremonial visit to
one of the great Midland cities,
where, after The main object of the
day, the laying of a corner stone of
hospital, had been accomplished.
there followed a round of visits to
public institutions, with speeches
and the presentation of bouquets,
addresses and resolutions.
As the royal carriage was return
ing, blocking of the road ahead de-
layed it in front of school. The
children had been given recess,
and were crowded on the curb to see
the royalties. 1t had been compost
ton day, and very pretty little girl
in a white dress still held her COM
position in her hand. Moved by
curiosity and the presence of her
comrades behind her, she stepped
into the street and stood close by
the royal carriage, smiling shyly up
into the princess face. That
gracious lady returned the smile
and, seeing the paper clutched in
the child's hand, assumed that it
was one more loyal address and
stretched her hand out to take it.
The surprised little author surren-
dered it silently-and just then the
procession passed on.
A few moments later Princess
Alexandra, glancing down, was
struck by something unusual in the
aspect of the paper in her lap-prob-
ably a certain scrawliness and inki-
ness-and opened it for a better
look. She read this astonishing
title:

others sensitive to himself. In his
mature form, round and slightly
flattened at the poles-like the
earth-he displays a similar cosmic
imperturbability. Unlike his child

onion is no plaything Of an hour.

WHERE TREATIES WERE MADE
Many Places Made Famous Because
They Witnessed the Formal
Ending of Wars.

In looking back on the war the
names of many localities associated
with peace treaties will be recalled.
Amiens, that fell temporarily into
German hands early in the war, was
the town where the treaty bearing
its name, after being negotiated in
London, was signed between Great
Britain, France, Holland and Spain,
in 1902, and was the occasion when
the Bourbon, the great bell in
Bruges belfry was rung for the first
time. Cateau is also famous for
treaty signed there. Cambria sof
military fame going back centuries
from the Canadian capture, has also
been the scene Of several negotiated
peace acts. The most curious is
what has come down to us in history
as the "ladies' peace" because the
delegates who settled the quarrel of
peoples were Louisa of Savoy, moth
er of the French King Francois I.
and Margaret Of Austria, aunt Of
Charles v, emperor of Germany.
Another interesting township with a
peace history that was overrun by
the Austrians when they made their
break through at Caporette in the
autumn of 1917, is Campo Formio,
not far from Udine. The treaty
was between Napoleon and Austria,
and was signed in 1897.
