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 to 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
a little piece of arsenic in their mouth
and they ascend the greatest heights
with ease. Rge a@s
Gr0oms and coaclmen at Vienna
give arsenic to their horses. They
sometimes throw a pinch of 1t among
the oats. and sometimes tie upa 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 coln-
tries of Austria are also in the habit
of giving arsenic to their horses when
about to ascend steep road, with the
result that the ascent is made much
easier for the animals.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

sTHoUGH number of ety.

word IS derived from the Latin
jubilare. to shout for joy, its
pedigree really antedates the
birth of the Latin language,

we find the word yobel, mean
Ing literally the blast of
trumpet, and by extension, the
year of iubilation which was an

According TO the law In Levitt
icus. -. this was an epoch
fof general restoration and
emancipation celebrated every
fifty years. when liberty was to
be proclaimed throughout the
land with the blowing of trum.

this jubilee year the land was
not titled, all lands that had
been sold We're returned to their
original owners or their heirs,

the term from the Jewish. and

Two incidents came under my own

at pasture that we valued for the
work she had done. After time we
discovered that the magpies were

made terrible sore on the poor crea-

her in the corral to give her extra feed
and wash and treat the, sore. To our
establishment the magpies still kept
after her. They seemed to know we
would not dare shoot at them when
they were on the back of the horse for
fear of killing her. Time after time
we tried to get them when flying to
and from their dreadful feast, but
sthetr instinct told them. apparently
when we were armed and when the

obliged TO keep the horse in the barn

THINK FOR YOURSELF

TT Is always good policy TO read clean
literature, 70 consider the advice of
those who should know what they are
talking or writing about. and TO listen
10 good sermons. but no one ever was
kept on the right pathway by what he
read or heard spoken unless he used
his brain.
Everyone's life Is in his own keeping.
Whether he Is happy or unhappy.
whether he is successful or unsnccess-
ful. whether he is earning for himself
an eternal home in heaven or hell de-
ponds on himself. Wise men and hon.
est men may direct one TO the proper
road, but no one can make human
being do what is right if he refuses to
do so.
Nearly every one remembers that old
proverb. "You can take horse to wa
ter. but YOU can't make him drink"
But too often the lesson 1t Is supposed
10 teach falls on deaf ears.
II is always dangerous to follow the
mob. One may becQme. quite popular
that class wishes. But popularity of
that sort is seldom worth d great deal.
Those who find real enjoyment in. life
and those who stand out as leaders are
seldom found in fhe midst of the most
popular crowd.
If ones mentality is normal. whether
he is educated or uneducated, he is
likely to come near the proper goal if
he uses his brain. But let him con-
stantly depend on the Judgment of
others to direct his footsteps and the
chances are ten to one that he'll be
headed toward fall,
No one knows as well as oneself
what is good for him, except when ILL.,
ness comes and the skill Of the physi-
clan or surgeon is necessary to mend
the bodily damage. Yet millions con-
stantly go whining about, seeking aa-
vice from their fellows, the while los
ing much of their just share of happi-
ness. #
When one accidentally stumbles or
when he is pounced upon by the RATHER,
hidden beside his path, his misfortune
is excusable. But it is no excuse for
man or woman of normal mentality
blaming downfalls on others.
The wisest persons are those who
don't think they know lit all.

Thia 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 tEng) 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

with tobacco and the stem inserted in

speed required, making a record of
the temperature aud nicotine content

Artiet Vision

1t is as though man were shown
crystal, 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 IL up But that In the end
he could bring 1t. perfect thing. to

had first seen 1t 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 it to
us.-Abbott Henderson Thayer.

VIVIAN

THE charming name of Vivian Is al
= most the equivalent. of the adjec-
tive "viyacious." 1t means livdly. ihav-
Ing been derived from the Latin vita
signifying life. and was used by the.
Roman Christians to express their,
Lopes of eternity.
The first feminine name formed
from vita is Viva. a name made fa-
nous by Viva Perpetua. the noble
young matron of Carthage. whose
martyrdom is one of the most touch
ing histories of the early church. Her
many votaresses gave vogue to her
name.
In later Roman days Viviana came
to he popular through Christian
maiden of that name who was put to
death by Roman governor on the
charge that she had destroyed the
sight of one of his eyes by magic.
Much later a church was erected over
her remains. Her fame and name lin
gered. and appears prominently again
in "AIorte d Arthur''. when yivianna is
the enchantress of King Arthurs
court.
scotland took over the name of
Vivian, applying it as both a mascu-
line and feminine name France adopt
ed the masculine form as Vivien and
stfhightway formed the now-popular
feihiRine vivienne. England has sal-
ways favored vixian and America re-
ceived and populnrized the name IN
der that spelling. Viviana is the fa-,
vored form in Spain and Italy. the lat
ter country still employing the early
Roman Viva.
Vivian's talismanic gem is the life
giving ruby. Its inextinguishable flame
promises her launtless courage, bodily
health and strength. and dispels evil
spirits. To dream OF. il signifies unex-
pected guests. Friday is her lucky day
and three her lucky number. The lily,
signifying purity. is her flower

THE RIGHT THING

RIGHT TIME
. BINARY MARSHALL UFFEE
THE WEDDING

"A thing of custom-tis no other
Shakespeare.
CT AM about to be- married." is the
= way one correspondent starts her
query, but we have not announced
our engagement. as we wish to give
our friends genuine surprise. We-are
going to slip off some day soon and get
married, bur want to send wedding
cards. win YOU kindly tell me, how
they should be wordedT'
\ To begin with, do not attempt any
thing original. or informal. 1t is quite
all right TO announce an engagement in
an original way, but the wedding an
nouncement should be entirely formal.
In most cases the announcements
should be sent out in the name of the
brides parents, or those who stand in
the place of parent in case the bride
is an orphan, or an aunt, uncle or
grandparent. If possible, have these
announcements engraved and send
them out the day of the marriage as
soon us 1t is over. Have all envelopes
addressed and stamped and ready to
send out directly. All announcements
should be sent at exactly the same
time. Here Is the usual form:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Brown
have the honor to announce
the marriage of their daughter
Anne
to
Mr.. James Smith Jones
on Thursday. May the eighth
nineteen hundred and twenty-five
at ST. Thomas church
New York.
If tits grandparent. sister or broth
err whose name need not be the same
as the bride. then in place of the single
word Anne. on the fourth line should
be inserted Miss Anne Brown
In the unusual event that the con-
tracing persons have no near relatives
to send these announcements they may
send an. announcement worded thus:
Mr.. James Smith Jones
Miss Anne Brown
have the homer to announce
their marriage
on Thursday, May the eighth
etc.
If you do not feel that you can af-
ford engraved announcements the best
thing 10 do would he to write letters
on the day of the wedding. to be post
ed Immediately afterwards. telling
Your nearest friends of the event. but
wording them as you would any other
friendly note. 1t, is a good idea TO
send an announcement TO the society
editor of your LEGAL paper also. because
the. chances are that.tlse paper will get
news of the event. and surely you
want to do everything in your power
To make their notice OF the. event. ac-
curate
There is no reason why any one who
wishes To desc should not haze this
quiet sort OF marriage without pre-
yiously announced eng cement: how
ever, the fact is that society girls sell
dom do. nor do persons who occupy
rather high position socially. unless, of
course. there is parental objection and
the event is in the nature of an elope-
ment.
