Buddha that separated the two.
The siken sleeve of the emperor was raised
and caw-like hand reached out, tapped sill

noiselessly and waited. The emperor turned to
the fat man once more and raised his hand.

This Smoker Never Sick.

All pipe smokers know the desir-
ability of tobacco mixture the smoke
of which will not bite the tongue or
be too hot in the mouth. Mixtures of
this kind are what manufacturers are
always seeking.
In London (Eng.) an apparatus has
been put into use for the testing of
smoking tobacco for these qualities,
obviating the usual method of per-
sonal trial by an expert. 1t looks like
a telephone box, fastened on wall,
including the wiring. A pipe is loaded
with tobacco and the stem inserted In
Il rubber-encircled hole in the box. A
switch is turned, the tobacco is lit,
and the electric machine in the box
smokes the pipeful at any rate of
speed required, making a record of
the temperature and nicotine content
of the smoke.

AUSTRIANS USERS OF ARSENIC
Mountain Folk Make Use. of Deadly
Poison for Definite Purpose
Also Fed to Horses.

Inhabitants Of Austria, In the
mountains adjoining Hungary, are in
the habit of eating arsenic. The effect
of the poison, when taken in moderate
quantities, is to give freshness to the
complexion, and afterward 10 impart
a certain degree of embonpoint. An
other advantage which the eaters de-
rive from the use of the poison is to
have their respiration facilitated In
ascending the mountain. They place
little piece Of arsenic in their mouth,
and they ascend the greatest heights
with ease.
Grooms and coachmen at Vienna
give arsenic to their horses. They
sometimes throw pinch of 1t among
the oats, and sometimes tie up a small
bit Of 1t in a linen rag, which they
attach to the bit when the horse is
harnessed. The effect on the horses
is to put them in high condition, with
the skin smooth and shining, and to
increase their spirits.
The carriers in the mountainous coun-
tries of Austria are also in the habit
of giving arsenic to their horses when
about TO ascend a steep road, with the
result that the ascent Is made much
easier for the animals.

Artist Vision

II is as though man were shown
a crystal, a perfect thing, cleaning
below depths of water, far down be-
yond reach. He would dive and dive
again, driven by his great desire to
secure it, until finally. all dripping,
he brought it up. But that in the end
he could bring it, perfect thing, to
US, was possible solely because he
had first seen it cleaning there.
Others might dive and dive, might
work and labor with endless patience
and endless pains, but unless they had
first seen the crystal-unless they
had been given this divine gift of
seeing-this vision-they would come
up empty-handed.
The occasional so-called genius does
not make the crystal but he alone sees
it where 1t lies cleaning below depths
of water, and by his effort brings 1t to
us.-Abbott Henderson Thayer.

Expensive Spanking.

A Bloomfield, Iowa, woman while

distance from a booth in that city
was repeatedly interrupted by her lit
tie son. He made so much noise and
became so unruly that she left the
receiver off the hook, grabbed the
youthful offender by the arm and took
him to the hall where she gave him a
regular old-fashioned spanking. She
then returned to the booth and COM
pleted the conversation without the
least interruption. At the finish she
became very angry because of the
charge for overtime, and insisted that
the time she spent spanking be de-
