Effects of African Arrow Poison.
It has been conjectured that the fatal
Sects of African arrow poison are not
always due entirely to the- poison itself,
and with a view of determining how far
fear and other influences enter into the
results of its exhibition a series of ex
periments in inoculating the ; lower ani
mals has been proposed. One of the
poisons with which the arrows of the
Africans are smeared is a dark substance
lite pitch. It is strong enough to kill
elephants, and is considered so danger
ous that its preparation is not allowed in
the villages, but is carried on in the
buah, where also the arrows are smeared.
The virulence of the poison is remark
Able; faintness, palpitation of the heart,
atausea, pallor and the breaking out of
beads of perspiration all over the body
follow with extraordinary promptness,
sad death ensues.

died within one minute from a mere pin
hole puncture in the right arm and right
breast; another man died within an hour
and a quarter after being shot; and a
woman died during the time she was

This Oxford university expression is

Thus Archbishox Laud wrote to the

that the masters, many of them, sit bare

sit bare thau to keep form, and then
so soon as they come out of the church

AND
FLOWERS.
One Girl : Wlio Sells TUrpx Shrewdly, and
One Whet UsesTUem, Cartoasly.
A genial old gentleman was buying
violets from the flower girl on Broadway.
"Well, I'm." getting to be -a-pretty old
customer, eh, Katie," he observed, as he
arranged the flowers in the lapel of his
overcoat.
"You've been buy-in flowers a good
many years, sir, but you're not old yet.V
replied Katie, with the shrewd flattery
of her sex. "I like to see a gentleman
wear flowers, especially a middle aged
gentleman. That shows his heart ain't
growin' old, an' it shows he likes what's
Bweet an' clean. . I . notice . a lot ot the
gentlemen lose their grip in, that way
when they get along."
"How do yon mean they lose their
grip, Katie?" asked the gentleman.
"Oh, they get . over ;carin' for .vileta
when they' get married and has fam
ilies,' replied the flower girL "I see a
lot of young fellers dressed np fine goin"
along here for a few years, an' they all
wear , flowers., in. their coats. They tire
all bright, just like the flower, and you
can't help likin' 'em for it. That's when
they're mashers an' when the girls care
for 'em. 1 ;
"Then they get married.'an' the' first
thing they drop is the flowers from their
coats. That takes away all their bright
ness, an then it does seem as if they go
sort of dusty, an' as if their hats were
old or not brushed. Once in a while,
though, a gentleman gets married an'
grows a little old an' still he buys vilets.
like you do, sir. Then I think he must
be a nicer sort of man than the rest, an'
probably is very happy at home with a
good wife an' children."
The old gentleman blushed, " and
hemmed and hawed.
"Humph! Haw what's the price of
those roses, Katie? They look verv
fresh."
"Two dollars a dozen sir, and they're
fresh cut this morning."
"Humph! Haw well, pick out two
dozen nice ones and send them to my
wife. Here! This is my card. . Good
morning, Katie."
"That's a nice gentleman," said Katie
to herself , as the customer walked away.
"I guess I reminded him of hi3 wife,
though.- That's the way with the best
of 'em. They never forget their own
buttonholes, but they think a woman
don't need any more roses after her hair
begins to get gray."
A girl who i3 such an extreme belle
and favorite that the men she knows
burden her with floral mementoes of
their regard has many strange and po
etic ways of disposing of her superfluous
bouquets. In the first place she never
gives any preference to one over another,
bnt selects the one she is to carry by ad
vancing with her eyes closed to a large
table', upon which they have been indis
criminately scattered by a servant, and
selects one at random. This, she de
clares, saves the trouble of thinking the
question over, and gives an equal chance
to all her admirers.
She then has her maid pluck all the
petals from the roses that are left, and
these are saved until the next morning,
when, afti-f coming ont of her bath, t'iey
are poured in a shower over her. and she
stands among them while her toilet, is
completed. All the violets are collected
together osveh night, and after they are
thoroughly mixed the dainty maiden
makes up a small bunch, which she fast
ens at the neck of her nightgown. Those
that are left i:rs tossed over her bed after
she lir.s retired. The orchids are m:ide
into as huge a bunch as possible and
suspended from the chandelier of her
bedroom. New York Sun.
Belief In Sicknens.
It is a very old observation that a domi
nant ideii is valuable in controlling the
human being, and whether it be in the
bearing of pain or in the devotion which
leads the Turk to die contentedly, before
the Russian bullets, belief is a factor that
may be turned to great advantage. In
directly, Christian science may prove an
aid to medical science. The intelligent
physician of today could receive a
greater aid in the scientific practice of
his profession thau to be emancipated by
his patients from the obligation invari
ably to prescribe a drug. , When people
are willing to employ physicians to order
their lives so that they may live iii
hqjilth, the custom which binds the phy
sician to prescribe something for his pa
tient will be unnecessary.
As we have become more civilized this
state of affairs is gradually coming into
place, but there still lingers the expecta
tion that the doctor's visit means drugs.
Christian science and faith cure, more
refined than the' spiritualistic beliefs
which have preceded them, form an in
teresting study in mental pathology, and
mark an advance from fhe grosser stage
of table tipping and magnetic doctors to
a recognition of the fact that among the
weapons employed by the scientific phy
sician of today an appeal to a determined
purpose to overcome pain is worthy of a
place beside antiseptics and anodynes

THROUGH THE FLUME
KNOWLEDGE OF ANCIENT HISTORY
HELPED OUT MINERS.
f
They Followed the Example 8et by Cyrus
the Great When He Captured Babylon.
A Few Tons of Silver Ore Instead of a
City Was at Stake, However.
There were gathered in the lobby of
the Windsor hotel a number of engi
neers and mining superintendents. As
is frequently the case, there was a good
deal of talk of shop. Among the num
ber present were men who had - been
working, at one time or another, in near
ly every prominent silver camp in the
United States. . The climax, however,
was reached when one of the mining
men showed how a knowledge of an
cient history once came into play and
paid a man exceedingly welL
'Of course," he said, "you have all
heard of the Pelican and the Dives mines
at ' Georgetown, and know . that there
has been very rich ore taken from these
claims. There was a dispute between
the owners of the claims. The Dives used
to keep its ore and have it all sampled
Sunday. ' The idea was that, no civil pro
cess could be served Sunday, and by get
ting the ore down and sampled that day
there was no chance for their opponents
to do anything. Of course, after the ore
was sampled, no one could swear to its
identity when removed from the sam
pler, and so it was safe the. rest of the
week.
"The Dives people aimed to ship down
about 100 tons each Sunday, this amount
of ore being valued at about $50,000.
Mr. Schneider, the banker, who was
afterward shot, was the owner of the
Pelican and was anxious to get -even
with -the Dives people in any way possi
ble. "One day he told one of the miners
around Georgetown that he could have
all. the ore that he could get from the
Dives people, and that he would pur
chase the same at full value at the Peli
can mill. . .
'The bargain certainly gave no one a
legal title to the ore thus to be obtained,
and as to the moral aspects of the ques
tion 1 suppose that didn't bother any
one of them. The law certainly would
have looked upon ore taken from, the
Dives people under this arrangement as
stolen ore.
OBTAINED THE KEGS.
'The miner with whom the arrange
ment had been made had for some time
had some low grade ore in sacks in one
of the bins of the Foster sampler, a mill
about half a mile above the sampler
where the ore of the. Dives people was
sampled. One evening, after he had
made arrangements with a couple of
friends, he went to Mr.. Foster, after the
latter had locked up his sampler, and
asked him for the key of the mill, as he
wanted to get the sacks holding the low
grade ore stacked in the mill. Mr. Fos
ter, of course, had no objection and
handed over the key.
"During the night there came along a
wagon loaded with ore picked out at the
Dives mine by one who knew the grade
of the ore. It was dropped on the hill
and the two men packed the ore in the
Foster sampler.- Thore was put in the
sacks which formerly held the low grade
galena ore. It was impossible to take
away the ore that night, so it was left,
with the hope that Mr. Foster would
not notice anything out of the way. But
when the next night it was noticed by
the two conspirators that a brand new
lock was placed on the door of the mill,
and that all the windows had been firm
ly fastened down, they needed no one to
tell them that Mr. Foster wanted an ex
planation of how worthless galena ore
had sudor- y become ore running 500
ounces in stiver.
"The two conspirators sneaked around
the mill, hunting for an unguarded
place, but every point was locked, no
door opened, no window was unshut.
To break in meant burglary, and bur
glary means Canyon City for a term, if
discovered So what to do became the
question.
KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY.
'Here came in the advantage of read
ing. Says the one to the other. "Have
you ever read any ancient history'! "No,'
was the reply, 'and what good would it
be here?' 'Well, if you hadv you would
know bow to solve the problem of enter
ing this mill without breaking it. Cyrus
entered Babylon by turning the river
that flowed beneath the walls of the city
and eutered by the way thus opened.
We must do the same with the water
running through the flume entering the
mill, and thus enter without breaking
through tho wall or through the roof.'
"It wasn't mach of a job to turn the
water of the flume at the headgate, and
in a few minutes the flume was dry.
Here was a good ' pathway leading into
the mill, and nothing needed to be
broken or in any way injured.
"It wasn't very long before our two
conspirators were in the mill and were
moving the sacks with the rich ore, about
which Mr. Foster was so particular and
anxious to learn something. . .
"The time at command did not allow
of carrying the ore entirely away. Not
only that, but it was not safe to handle
just that class of ore immediately,. for,
at the least, it meant a cutting- of a good
deal of the profit of the job." Here again
the flume ' and its supply of water came
in handy.,:, The sacks with the ore -were
dropped over the tail flume, and as soon
as the water was turned on there was a
veil of water hiding all that wealth hid
den behind it.
"When the conspirators had moved all
the ore they returned by the way they
had come, again turned on the water,
and then nothing on the outside showed
that the mill no longer held the ore it
once did. When the doors were opened
in the morning everything was found as
usual, except that the ore, to ard
which all the -paddocks and nails ' and
screws had been 1 brought into requisi
tion, was gone. -
j "Ln -due time. -the ore .was removed
from beneath its ; : curtain : of water,
brought to the Pelican sampler and sold.:
It ran 476 ounces in silver to every .ton,
