Talto Notice.
"Moro men ore killed by drugs than !
dlscaso," is on expression one occasion-1
ally bears. How much truth it con
tains is. of course, problematical. But,
without doubt, no small proortioii of
tho deaths occurring ure directly or in-
directly duo to an unwise use of meili
cines. Children furnish the readiest i
victims to tho direct destructive iullu-1
ences of drugs.
Ilero is an instance whero drugs, abso-1
futcly harmless in anything like reason
able doses, may yet be the cause of death:
Tho patient is an infant, and it Buffers
from diarrhea. Tho mother doctors it
herself. She goes to the nearest druc- i
gist and asks for a diarrhea mixture,
llo gives her ono made up of catechu
and chalk mixture, two of tho simplest
bf agents, with which almost every ,
nother is familiar. This she adminis-1
:ers to her child in the proper doses, j
rho diarrhea lessens, but the child's
Rendition does not improve. It even
sgrows rapidly worse, fever is on. tho I
Ifcowels nro swollen, and, what is more
'alarming, "head symptoms" have ap
peared.
TUB PIIYSICIAN POWERLESS.
A physician is called, but ho is power
less, for tho brain is attected. Tho little
puo lingers along for days and days per-1
naps, ana nnaiiy tnes irom disease of the ,
Ijrain. Now, for the child's death the j
catechu and chalk mixture, harmless as
they arc, were yet responsible. Tho
mbcturo lessened the diarrhea, but in sol
doing invited an inflammation of the
bowels; tho littlo one's brain, always ex
ceedingly sensitive and susceptiblo to in
jury, became congested as a natural con- j
sequence, other and more serious changes
ouowed, as in all such cases, and it i
lmally died a victim to dosing. Ilad
tiot tho bowels been dammed up by tho
catechu and chalk mixture, but instead,
Jiatl they been unloaded and then treated
properly, neither tho inflammation
therein nor tho brain trouble would have
occurred. In much thewav described
thousands upon thousands of chil

salivation to follow. And yet it has done
so, but very rarply indeed, however, bc
causo of the peculiar susceptibility of
tho patient to the drug.
Tho prejudice against calomel seems
to havo grown with general enlighten
ment. It does not exist with thoso "be
hind tho times." In the "far western
country," it is still held in high esteem,
and given in enormous doses even moro
jthan half a teaspoonful for almost every
conceivable ailment. After taking ono
cathartic dose of calomel alone, no ono
is likely to court another such experience,
unless his confidence in it is absolute, for
it causes intense pain. For that reason
it was in olden times given with jalap, j
to quicken its action. But after what
has been said, und all that can bo said
about calomel, it is not an agent which j
can bo disenKod with. Given in proper
doses in cases wisely selected, it will
prove ono of the most efficacious reme
dies known to man. And so adminis

not thoroughly" understand all about it

ANTS fOR EATING,
They Are Said to Ilr n Good a Pickles.
Somo IjirjjK n I'oxrs.
Should n Maine lumlerman find a
stump of rotten log with thousands of j
big black nnts in it. he reoops tho torpid
insects from their winter domicile and
fills his dinner pail with them. When ,
he gets back to his camp at night ho
sets the pail in a cool place until his j
supper i3 ready, then brings it forth, I
and, while helping himself to pork and
beans, helps himself nh.o to ants. Thero
is no accounting for tastes, and he esteems
a handful of nnts a very choice morsel.
Ants are said by those who have tasted
them to have a peculiarly agreeable,
strongly acid flavor. Tho woodsmen,
whoso food consists largely of salted
meat, baked K-ans and similar hearty
victuals, naturally have a craving for
something sour. "Ants are the very best
of pickles," said an old "logger," who
confessed to having devoured thousands
of them. "They are cleanly insects, and
there is no reason why they should not
be eaten, if one can get over a littlo
squeamishuess caused by the thought of
taking such crawling things into his
stomach. There is nothing repulsive
about them, and when a man has once
learned to eat the crteturcs as pickles ho
prefers them to any other kind."
Ants have at various times and in dif
ferent countries been quite extensively
used in medicine, and formic acid, which
was first obtained bv distilling tho bodies
of these insects, but is now artificially
prcjwred, is a well known and useful
chemical product.
Herodotus tells of ants that livo in tho '
deserts of India which aro in size "some
what less than dogs, but larger than
foxes." These creatures, in heaping up
tho earth after the manner of common
ants, were a very efficient aid to tho In
dian gold hunters. Tho sand wluch they
threw up being largely mixed with gold,
tho Indians were accustomed to go to tho
desert in the heat of the day. when the
ants were underground, load tho sand
into Backs, pile the Hacks upon their cam
els, and hasten from tho Bjxit as rapidly
as possible. The ants, according to tho
historian, were not only the swiftest of
animals, but wero gifted with such a
senso of smell that they immediately le-
camo aware of tho presence of men in
their territory, and unless tho Indians
got away while tho ants wero assembling
to nttaek them not aman could escape.

W'l)ster'rt II hui Suit
Daniel Webster went
to collego in a
homespun suit, of which probably every
thread was carded. 6pun and woven by
his mother's hand from tho wool of their
own sheep. A contributor to Wido'
Awako says it was a dyed-in-the-wool
suit, and the color was indigo blue tho
old New England color.
In tho south it is butternut; but though
our Yankee grandmothers and great-great-great-grandmothers
knew all about
what butternut bark would do, and the
subtile power for slate color that lay in
sumach berries and bark of white maple,
and the various dyes that root and
flower, bark and leaf could bo mado to
yield through tho agency of vitriol and
alum and copperas to "set" them fr-sf,
tho universal stand by was tho bluo pot
par excellence tho "dyo pot that
stood in tho chimney corner of every
kitchen worth naming.
So Webster was fitted out in indigo
blue from collar to ankle unbecoming
for his swart skin nnd 6ct 4lf grand

its own for has not indigo bluo been
"warranted fast" sinco first indigo was
heard of? but it had parted with enougli
so that Daniel, too, was died bluo from
head to foot.
Daniel Webster had a liberal stratum
of sentiment in his make up; and for
soino reason, this color of his young
manhood became his favorito wear
through life. He wore bluo coats to his
dying day. If any one ever saw him in

Perhaps one of tho most interesting
studies in this part of the world is the
nativo and the development of his racial
features. Those who are given to tho
study of physiognomy are impressed at
once with the intellectual superiority of
the female native over tho male. She
shows it plainly in her face and manner,
and when she speaks it is even moro un
mistakably apparent. As a rule tho na
tive women are modest, industrious, anx
ious to acquire a knowledgo of lan
guages, and make most excellent house
servants. They aro very expert with
tho needle nnd learn music with scarcely
an effort; in fact tho wholo raco is natu
rally musical, and there are probably
more really excellent brass bands in
Manila than in any other city of its size
on tho face of the earth. Nearly every
district has its brass band, and each reg
iment of soldiers has one that would do
credit to any country. That attached to
tho artillery regiment received the first
prize at the last Paris exjiosition, nnd
several cities in tho orient havo bands
of natives of tho Philippines who fur
nish the best music to be had.
EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.
Somo years ago sewing machines wero
introduced hero nnd tho nativo women
very soon learned to run them as easily
as any white woman. Now no well
regulated household is completely
equipjicd without a sowing inachino and
a nativo woman to run it. An excellent
seamstress can bo had for twenty cents a
day, and nearly every European family
has one the year round. Of course, they
lose quite a number of days, as tho church
feasts aro numerous and they aro most
devout iu their religious duties; they
never work when thero is a chance to go
to church, so that, taking it altogether,
they probably aro paid for less than two
thirds of tho year.
They livo in their own homes littlo
nipa huts, with ono or two rooms and
are in tho housesof their employers from
alwut 8 a. m. to 5:550 or C p. m. Largo
numbers of the nativo women work in
the tobacco factories and other manu
facturing: establishments about tho citv.
. while many of them occupy themselves
at home, making toys, fancy articles and
embroidery for tho shOps. Some of their
toys are very curious and givo evidence
of wonderful dexterity and delicacy of
touch, and are quite as valuable us curios
j as thoso of the Chineso or Japanese. Full
, sets of dolls' furniture, ships, houses, na
tive canoes, carriages, etc., aro repro
duced in miniature with great expert
ness and are sold at very low prices.
STREETS ITLL OF BEAUTIES.
The natives aro a branch of tho Malay
race, and none are much darker than a
very dark brown. They havo somo of
the characteristics of tho American In
dian, among which are tho high cheek
bones, which, however, aro not as a rule
prominent in tho femalo fnce. A native
i bello has a bright, expressive face, soft
black eyes full of animation, and a
I mouth tlmt would be beautiful but for a
suggestion of sensuality. Yet she is
modest and drops her eyes bashfully in
tho presenco of strangers, but lnw for her
intimate friends u smile fascinating iu
tho extreme. And thero aro many such
faces among tho natives; ono can see
them at almost any hour of the day on
tho streets selling Koodaof various kinds,
returning to or from their places of em
ployment or pooping coyly out of tho
ono window of a nipa hut. Theso girls
aro never tall nor awkward, but their
forms are jnst as naturo mado them, for
they aro not distorted and deformed by
tho fashionable dress appliances of civil
ized life. They are ignorant of tho ways
of tho western world, aro guileless and
confiding, and it is not strange, consider
ing tha class of foreigners who usually

Wliat would bo called Eurasians in
other parts of tho east are called Mestizos
or Mestizas; that is, tho offspring of
whito fathers and nativo mothers. A
fair typo of the Spaninli Mestiza dress,
which is peculiar to this class, consists
of a long skirt of heavy sill; and a waist
and nockkerchief mado of tho fibers of
tho pineapple plant and embroidered
