PEOPLE WHO EAT ARSENIC ' Many of Tliem Are KounJ lit tho Tyrol nnd In t-tjrrlu. Whlto arsenic Is tho form In which !.. I.. I... 41... . . urtfuiiie it fulfil ny iiiu iieaKitius 01 1 Styrlu nnd tho Tyrol. Prof. Sehall- 'grucber, of Oratz, was tho first to call attention to this practice In a report i which ho made In 18L'2 to tho Austrian ' covornmont an the ciiiiho of tlm iiiininr. ous deaths from nrsonlc poisoning In those districts. Ho found that arsenic w & "' ,u8t ' tho wc8 in lip. per Styrhi under tho nnmo of "hy-. ' drnch," evidently a corruption of "unit- I tourauch," or furnnco smoke. Ills statements were subsequently confirm cd from personal observation by a Dr. Maclagau, of Edinburgh, but for ninny years nfterwnrd tho arsenic eaters wero generally disbelieved In, and It was not till 1800 that C. Helsca pub lished convincing evidence. Arsenic Is principally eaten by hunt era and woodcutters with tho object of 1 warding off fatigue and Improving their stnylng powers. Owing to tho fact that ! tho sale of arsenic Is Illegal In Austria I without n doctor's certificate, It Is diffi cult to obtain definite Information of a habit which Is kept ns secret as pos sible. According to a Dr. Lorenzo, lit that district tho arsenic Is taken fast ing, usually In ii cup of coffee, tho first doso being minute, but Increased day by day until It sometimes amounts to tho enormous doso of twelve or fifteen grains. Ho found that tho arsenic ent ers wero usually long lived, though llnblo to suddex death. They have n very fresh, youthful appearance, nnd are seldom nttneked by Infectious dis eases. After tho first doso tho usual Bymptoms of slight arsenic poisoning aro evident, but these soon disappear on continuing the treatment. In to arsenic factories In Salzburg It Is stated that workmen who nro not nrsenlc eaters soon succumb to the fumes. Tho manager of ono of thoso works Informed Mr. Helsch that ho had been medically advised to eat arsenic before taking up his position. Ho con sidered that no ono should begin th'o practico before 12 years old nor after SO, and that In any case after SO years of ago tho dally dose should bo gradu ally reduced, since otherwise sudden death would ensue. If a confirmed nrsenlc eater suddenly attempts to do altogether without tho drug he Imme diately succumbs to tho effects of ar Benlc poisoning. Tho qnly way to ob viate this Is gradually to accllmatlzo tho system by reducing tho doso from day to day. As further evidence of the cumulative properties of arsenic It Is Interesting to noto that when the graveyards In Upper Styrln nro opened tho bodies of the arsenic enters can be distinguished by their almost perfect state of preservation, duo to the gradu ally accumulated nrsenlc Science Gos-In.

Visitors to the Paris exhibition who make their entrance by the Place do la Concorde will probably wonder wheth. er they aro tho victims of hallucination or the subject of a seasonable practical Joke. They will bo controutcd with a weird-looking structure, which a mo mentary examination will show them Is In reality a house. Hut It Is not an , ordinary dwelling place. Architects usually uave a weatcness tor inying their foundations upon a solid substra tum of earth. Not so the designer of tho "Manolr a l'Envers. He had laid tho foundations In the clouds, and tho only communication with mother earth Is by way of tho chimneys and turrets of his feudal mansion. Nevertheless there Is no danger of ,ts falling to spaco with Its occupants, for. bo It noted, tho topsy-turvy mansion Is not unlnhnblted. The visitor draws closer and glances at tho windows; peoplo dressed like himself look out. To his astonishment they are as topsy-turvy . as tho house, for their feet point sky-' ards and their heads arc directed jwards tho ground. If anxious to solve the mystery nnd to learn how It has become posslblo for inure humanity to emulate the fly and walk upsldo down, tho visitor will only find his bewilderment Increased, j In fact, tho apparent intention of tho HOUHK Iltlll.T Ul'SlDB DOWN.

WhntovtJi' women's clubs and labor federations may think about tho posi tion of tho Negro It scorns clear that Harvard University has mado up Its mind to allow him to occupy any posl- tlon to which ho Is entitled by roason or ins nullities. Not long ago, a young colored man, n graduate of tho uni versity, was elected to tho Massachu setts legislature from tho district In which Cambrldgo Is situated, and now Rosco Conkllng Bruce, son of tho Into Senator Druce, Is elected by tho sonlor class to-All tho ofllco of clnss orator. Young Druco Is said by both tho nowspapors and by persons In Chicago who aro acquainted with him, to bo ono of tho most promising students now at Harvard. Ho showed great power In debate, theroforo ho wan put on tho team that debated with Yalo. Ho showed great powor In oratory, uwroiuro no was muuoonuor ior uio flf SSSffi JlTatiZi roward8 of mQtt, Thoy nro Conforrod Mpon Druco lmply bocnuso ho dosorv od them. Ho has been measured with tho whites In tho university nnd in debato nnd oratory ho has bcon found to bo their suporlor. His superiority Is, thoroforo, acknowledged nnd ho Is elected to ofllco over tho bonds of whlto competitors. To this It Ib hard to sco how thoro can bo objection. If nny young man at Harvnrd chooses not to ontortnln Hruro In his rooms, that Is a mntter for tho young man to dccldo. Theso social relations will ndjust thomsolves. Tho point now Is thnt Harvard BconiB to bo boyond thnt ovorpoworlug preju dice against tho colored mnn which would mako II impossible for him to hold ofllco by voto of tho students if ho had tho Intellect of n Shakespoare. Now, lntelloct, as Intellect ought to havo ovory opportunity to dovelop thomsclvoB and to grow to their full Btaturo. It Is well also for tho country that this should bo so, Tho country needs all tho Intellect thnt It ran find, nnd it will do well to oncourngo t whor over it finds it.
