Isos, f- Chief Police. - 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. Permanganate of potassium is an anti 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 Courier Jourhal 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. —Chautauquan. • ■ 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*”—- Chicago Times-Herald. BRAINS EQUAL TO COURAGE. J • _ 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 ( mercial. taMfe Useful Hooka If a scholar has little money for , book* he should expend it mostly on works of reference, and so get a daily return for his output.

A Fortune For Flowers. Mrs. Mackay spends more on floral i decorations wfien giving a dinner party or reception than any other member of the fashionable world.

LET “WIFEY” SHOP FOR YOU r - is She Always Has a Sharper Noes For Baal Hargalaa. The sign which caught Mrs. Dawson’s «ye read: ’’Suits S2O. Positively the Last Week. Regular Price sßo.* ’ Mrs. Dawson had the womanly love for a bargain. She had often spent 10 Cents' oar fare to secure some lovely treasure that was marked down from •1 to 98 cents just for that day. She 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 less man into the store. The polite 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 ter half to get her hat on straight pre paratory to accompanying him to the city. Mr* Dawson awaited with impa tience the passing of the store where she had saved money for her husband. She wanted to call his attention to the fact again that he might remain prop erly thankful With all the faith of a woman Mra Dawson was convinced that the sales man was telling the truth when he as sured her it was the last week of the S2O sate. She looked for the window, and her faith was rewarded. It had been the last week. The sign now read, “Any Suit In This Window sls. ” —Chicago Record. . 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. ” Flpa Made oC a Seal’s Tusk. A pipe made out of a seal’s tusk was seen at the Weare office recently. The stem is nearly a foot long and i|. quaintly illustrated with representa tions of life under the arctic circle. The artist was an Indian, and the little sketches in India ink show up very well against the ivory background.. There is a reindeer about to fall un der the arrow of an archer. There is a sledge drawn by dogs. Fir trees, tepees, a fishing scene, where the captives are being brought to shore in a net, are all true to life. Another ornament of the same char acter is a pair of walrus tasks, with de lineations of other Alaskan scenes, with the fax and the white polar bear in evi , .dance; also an Eskimo leveling a gun al the latter. It is said that to add to the terrors ol overland travel in the long winter months the larger wild animals are of ten driven by hunger to attack the trails* men, and packs of ferocious wolves will besiege a camp for days, attacking the horses and reindeer as well as the dogs.
