- POISONS AND ANTIDOTES.
Some Direotlraa In •‘Flm* Aid to tiw I»-
B Jared** Course*-'
'» Even in the city cases of poisoning some-
0 times prove fatal because a physician can
not be prooured ln time to administer the
necessary remedies, and it would be a wise
precaution for every household to have
[ some general directions at hand for an
f emergency. The New York Society For
3 Instruction in First Aid to the Injured
) teaches its classes the symptoms and rem
edies for various poisons as follows:.
Among the poisons known as*‘irritant"
are arsenic In its numerous forms, cor
rosive sublimate, sugar of lead, white
[ lead, the strong acids, such as sulphuric,
f or vitriol, muriatic, nitric, oxalic and oar
' bolic; the strong alkaltae, such as soda,
- potash, lime and ammonia water. The
- symptoms of poisoning by an irritant are
‘ severe pains in the stomach and abdomen,
nausea, vomiting, purging, faintness and
often feeble pulse and breathing. The
3 treatment is first to cause vomiting by gtv
-3 Inga tumblerful of warm (not hot) water
with a tablespoonful of ground dry mus
. tard stirred in it, or by pushing the fore
. finger as far as possible down the throat.
The forefinger is the best possible emetic.
After causing the patient to vorAittrecly,
give large drafts of milk, or the whites of
a couple of eggs, not beaten. If the poison
3 were an acid, give also magnesia or cook
s ing soda to neutralize. If an alkali, give
’ lemon juice or a tablespoonful of vinegar.
The “systemic" poieonsare opium, mor
phia, laudanum, paregoric, belladonna,
[ atropia, aconite, henbane, or hyosoyamus,
r stramonium, prussic acid, cyanide of po
. tassium, nux vomica, strychnia, alcohol,
3 chloroform and ether. The symptoms
( differ with the different poisons, but as a
3 rule there is gradually increasing sleepi
ness, stupor, Insensibility or perhaps de
lirium and stertorous or "puffy” breath
ing.
In opium poisoning (which includes
morphia, laudanum; and paregoric) ths
[ pupils of the eyas are contracted to the
3 size of small pinheads, breathing is very
> slow and the face often extremely pate.
r In strychnia poisoning there are convul
sions almost like epilepsy, and the jaws are
set firmly together. In belladonna, atropia,
, hyoacyamua and stramonium the pupils of
the eye are dilated, the pulse rapid and the
’ appearance is that of fever. In aconite,
I chloral and tobacco poisoning there Is
I 1 great prostration, the pulse is feeble and
the face pale.
’ The first thing to be done, aa in the oth
er poisons, Is to cause repeated vomiting,
using the same means. After the emetic
has acted freely, give strong black coffee in
frequent doses. If a case of opium poison
ing, on no account allow the patient to go
to sleep. Keep him walking up and down,
’ slapping him on the back and chest with a
' wet towel, but be careful not to exhaust
him. If symptoms of collapse appear, put
5 hot applications on the abdomen and legs.
The symptoms are feeble breathing, face
pale, pinched about the nose and anxious,
eyelids drooping, eyes dull, pulse feeble
and skin cold.
. If the respiration becomes slower than
• five or six breaths in a minute, begin arti
ficial respiration and continue until no
' longer necessary. Artificial respiration is
' produced by laying the patient on his hack,
; with a roll of cloth under the shpulders.
■ Draw the tongue well out and tie it
against the lower teeth by laying the cen
ter of a dry strip of cloth on it, crossing
the cloth under the chin, carrying ends
around the neck and tying at side of neck.
Then kneel behind his head, grasp his
’ arms half way between elbows and wrists,
' and draw them up and over his head until
his bands touch the floor behind. Hold
them there for fully two seconds, then
carry them back until they rest against
the sides of the chest and press them firm
ly against the chest for two seconds. Re
i peat until natural respiration takes place.
The method is the same as in cases of
drowning.

dote to morphine, but coffee is valuable in
The Convention’s Hard Task.
It is related that in the later forties, on
’ theeveof a Democratic state convention in
Albany, Dean Richmond and Peter Cagger
‘ were in consultation. Something like this
was the dialogue between the two bosses:
“Whom shall we put up for governor!’’
asked Richmond.
“Seymour will do. He it able, respecta
ble, popular and will render the ticket
Invincible,** answered Cagger. And Sey
mour’s name went down.
“Who for attorney general?” queried
Richmond.
“Ob, Tremaine. He is by far the best
of the lot. Besides, we want the Van
Buren Influence.*’ And down went Tre
maine.
“Who for secretary of state?” quoth
Richmond.
“Van Nees. He Is capable and respect
able, and we want the Influence of the
Knickerbockers anyhow." And down
. went Van Ness. -And so It was until the
ticket wartcompleted, with the exception
of superintendent of education.
“Peter, whom shall we name for that?
There are three or four candidates. I
never heard of either of them before," said
Richmond.
“Ob, d—n It,” returned Cagger, “let
the oonvention nominate the candidate for
superintendent of public education." And
down that went too.
, The following day the convention put
through the slate so constructed in less
than two hours. It required more than
two days to nominate the candidate for
, superintendent of education.—Louisville

Why Russia Wants China.
The intimacy of China and Russia has
most profound causes. The Chinese have
a very distinct feeling of their interests.
’ Between Russia and Chinese interests
. there is no opposition; there is similitude.
1 England, the United States, Germany and
France have only one object—to make of
China an immense market for the product
of their industry, to impose upon it, by
* force if need be, their merchandise. On
. the contrary, Russia and Japan seek to
facilitate the exportation into Europe of
Chinese products. Russia with its railroad
’ will be the middleman between producing
China and consuming Europe. The Rus
sian provinces produce nothing which
China furnishes. They have every advan
tage in being put in contact with the in
numerable population of the Celestial em
pire.
The immense current of exchangee
i which will be established between China
and Russia by the new railroad will cany
life and prosperity into the Siberian steppe.
■ In exploiting China the Russians will
1 with the same stroke throw Siberia open
I 'to improvement. They will rapidly make
t it one of the greatest centers of agricul
tural production in the world. In the
economic development of China, Russia
has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

EXPERIMENT IN DETECTION.
The Creeeteg Polieemaa Is as Wise asMk
oasea When Necessary.
The policeman who maintains life
and order at the meeting of two down
town streets must be possessed of ©po
nderable judgment He must know
when to make a hole in the wall, so to
apeak, through the mass of vehicles and
let a portion of the surging humanity
go through. He must know how to
do several things at once—to at the
same time chat pleasantly with a lady
friend of his, tell a woman from the
suburbs where the streets she’s on is
and pull a couple of old gentlemen from
the jaws of cable cars, and, what is
more surprising, most of the down town
force can do this, and, what is truly as
tonishing, nearly all do it in a gentle
manly manner and keep their tempers
well.
It is not infrequently that an officer
is found who can do all this and more
too. At one of the most prominent cross
streets there is a policeman who is a
close second to the caliph that decided
the ownership of an infant in his own
highly original way. Among many in
stances where his acumen has played a
particular part is one that happened a
day or so ago. It concerned a bicycle.
The latter was left by its rider against
the curb. A few minutes later a young
man approached it. The policeman in
question had not seen the owner get off
the machine, but he thought the new
comer looked a trifle suspicious. The
chain and sprocket wheel of the bicycle
had been secured together by a padlock.
When the young man in question began
to carry the wheel off instead of unlock
ing it be felt it was about time to act.
“Do you own that bicycle!" he said
' to the young man. **
“ Yes,” was the reply.
“Where’s your key, then?” was his
next
i “I’Ve lost it” That settled it.
“Bay, now,” continued the police
man, “will you give me your name and
address?”
f ; The young man seemingly did not
want to make any trouble. He hesitated
for a moment and then said, “Why, yes,
if you want it”
“And now,” continued the police
man, after he had it “you know the
case looks strange, and you know we
have so many bikes lost, would you
mind waiting 10 minutes to see if any
i one else should come after that wheel?"
i “No, I guess not” said the young
i man. Then he leaned back on a railing
and began to wait After he had been
there three or four minutes the police
man said: “ Well, I guess it’s all right
You can go. ” And then, turning to a
bystander, he remarked, “You can bet
your next month’s pay he wouldn’t
, have stood there if it wasn’t hi*”—-

The Cat Resorted, but the Stout Woman
Was Mot SaUsAed.
1 It was a damp day, but the crowd
, stood and watched the black cat as it
mewed plaintively and clung to the
trailing vine three stories above the
street in front of a four story brown
stone dwelling. A long wire supported
the vine, nearly reaching the roof. The
oat, in a sportive mood evidently, had
climbed the long vine and at the third
story stopped, as if fright had paralyzed
further efforts. Every minute it mewed,
and its appeal for help collected a crowd.
A large woman said:
“ Why don’t some one climb up there
and release that oat?”
“Supposeyou try it, madam, ” chirped
a dapper little man, who looked upon
1 the affair as a joke.
“Well, if I had your small heft I
' would climb that vine. Men never do
anything dangerous these daya ”
“Oh, yes, they do, madam! They
catch cold, drink too much and stay out
> late at their lodges. ”
She gave the little man a look and
ejaculated: “You think you are smart,
don’t you? You can talk, but you can’t
rescue even a cat”
“You do me wrong. Watch me rescue
that cat even at the peril of being in
sulted. Do not be frightened. but
I will return. ” He ran across the street
as the large woman shouted, “He is go
ing to climb!” He rang the doorbell of
' the house, and when the servant girl
appeared he pointed to the eat above.
The door closed, and a few minutes
later a window in the third story opened,
and the girl, reaching her arm out,
caught the cat and took it fob The
crowd cheered, and the dapper man
bowed, but the large woman said con
temptuously: -
- “Men have no courage. They get wo
men to rescue cats. ” —New York Com

for a bargain. She had often spent 10
Cents' oar fare to secure some lovely

was more than provoked that Dawson,
who was with her, did not grow enthu
siastic.
“You know you need a suit,” said
Mrs. Dawson. “Why not order it now
and save $lO. ”
Dawson was certain the suits would
be as cheap next week, but his wife re
fused to move on and dragged the help

clerk assured them that it was the bar
gain of the century and that this week
was positively the last
With mental protests, but with out
ward calm, Dawson, like clay in the
hands of the potter, allowed himself to
be measured. Then he left a deposit
He called in four days and took the
suit away.
“There,” exclaimed Mrs. Dawson, in
triumph, when her husband appeared
arrayed in his new suit “you never
had a better fit nor a mere becoming
pattern. Just think how much money
your wife saved for you by being on the
lookout for a bargain!” .
Mr. Dawson preserved a dignified si
lence and waited patiently for his bet

city.

she had saved money for her husband.

fact again that he might remain prop

Dawson was convinced that the sales
man was telling the truth when he as
sured her it was the last week of the

She looked for the window, and her
faith was rewarded. It had been the

OLD BARBERS ARE SCARCE.
Alter Reaching 40 They Usually Retire
or Enter Another Occupation.
“Did you ever notice,” said a veteran
tonsorial artist, who had shaved New
Haveners since 1878, to a New Haven
Register man, “that you only see a few
old barbers?”
“Why Is it?”
“Thereare a good many reasons,”
answered the veteran knight of the
blade. "I suppose the chief one is that
a barber’s hand becomes unsteady after
he gets to be about 40 years old and he
has to give up. A good many barber!
drink hard, and that makes their nerves
and hands unfit for service, and they
retire before they cut their customers
throats. Still, I will say that in all mj
experience of 87 years I never saw a
man badly cut by a barber, not even by
an accident for which the barber was
not responsible.”
“What becomes of the barbers after
they retire?”
“Oh, some at them go to the poor
house,” he replied, with a twinkle in
his eye, “and some of them, who have
saved their wages, buy little places and
live on them, perhaps running a farm.
Some of them, of course, go into other
business, perhaps bookselling or else be
come insurance agents. I have heard of
barbers who gave up the business and
became butchers. This isn’ t such a wide
difference from their former business
(what are you laughing at?) as it might
seem. No, I don’t mean that they learn
to carve people or even to skin them in
the barber business, but they learn how
to handle a blade skillfully and they
make first class meat cutters. ”
