All people who use canned fruits will
read with interest the following from
Popular Hcie.ncr Monthly: 1 Mr. T. I’.
White,in a communication to the Chemi
cal Society, gives a decidedly negative
answer to the question w lief her t he acids
of canned fruits may not form poisonous
salts with Hie tins. He reports, as the
result of his experiments, that ‘tin is en
tirely devoid of danger when taken in
ternally in any form that might arise
from being in contact with fruits or veg
etables.’ lie believes that the cases of
accidental poisoning attributed to tin
weic due to solder or other impurities—
arsenic, copper or lead. Professor W.
Maft:»il Williams says that there need In
no lead in the solder Unit it is only put
in for cheapness's sake, and that tin
makes a superior solder to uny alloy.
Therefore, all danger may be obviated
by prohibiting the use of any otlici
solder than pure tin."
The prosperty of the Hebrews in this
country is thus refered to by the
“Hamblor" of the Brooklyn Eagle:
“Nothing has impressed me to much,"
said one of the prominent dry goods
merchants the other day, “as the way in
which the Hebrews have multiplied and
prospered in this country. Not further
back than 1845 there were only 00,000
Hebrews here. To-day there me nearly
750,000. So you will see that while
the population of the country Ims in
( reused threefold In forty years it was
20,000,000 in 1845—the Hebrew populn
lion has increased in n very much larger
proportion. Os course there are more
Hebrews in Kussia, Austria and Germany
than there are in America, but we come
next. If the figures which I have given
may be taken iisn basis for estimating the
future growth of the race, it will not be
long before thii country is in the lead."
I asked my fi ’ctid to what he attributed
the success of the Hebrew, and he said:
“His thrift is proverbial, hut I have yet
to meet a man who will deny that he is
public spirited and generous in the sup
port of benevolent and worthy institu
tions generally. Certainly he is law
abiding, ’’
Burglary is not usually classed among
nicchiinicnl trades, but it. is nevertheless
uu “industry" in its peculiar way, and
very numerously followed in cities and
largo towns. Someone -a safe manufac
turer, we believe has been at the pains
of compiling n stinun try of the processes
which burglars employ in the present ad
vanced state of the art. T hey are said to
be: 1. The driving of wedges into door
jambs, by which the tenon is forced out '
of the packed groove, and explosives in
serted around and into the rabbet or
stepped flange. 2. The application of
the drill on material represented as drill- -
proof metal i The npplieation of
the Hariis stripper, in p ‘cling plates from
their rivet and machine screw fastenings.
4. The application o! the Burton pulling
wrench, by whic h lock and bolt spindles 1
are drawn cut of doms. 5. The applica
tion of the Mason ripper, a late and in
genious implement of burglary, u»ed on
safes or vaults with iron surfaces. it.
The npplieation of the ponder pump in
forcing explosives around the jambs of
safe doors mil into crevices created by
wedging mid n the use of jmksiicws
7. Tlie explosion of dynamite on the stir
face of the door, by which the bolts mal
Udt frame are dislodged by coucu'siou.

THE MASTER OF FENCING.
THE EXTRAORDINAH Y FEAT OF
A FRENCH 80LDIER
•lean Louis Meets anil Kills Thirteen
Nueccesslve Italian Opponents in
a Siuglif Hour.
To give an idea of what a brave man
(undo if he knows fencing thoroughly
nnd but keeps cool and collected in
danger, we will relate an historical duel.
So extraordinary is this combat, that it
would beheld a romance, had it not been
witnessed by a whole army. The hero is
Jean Louis, one of the great masters of
the beginning of this century, and the
duel happened in Madrid in 1813. He
was the master-at-arms of the Thirty
second regiment of French infantry; the
First regiment, composed entirely of
Italians, formed part of the same bri
gade.
lii-giineutul esprit de corps and rival
ries of nationality caused constant quar
rels, when swords were often whipped
out or bullets exchanged. Aftera small
battle had occurred in the streets of
•Madrid, in which over two hundred
French nnd Italian toldicrs had taken
part, the officers of the two regiments
decided to give such breaches of order a
I low, and to re-establish discipline; they
decreed that the inasters-at arms of the
two regiments should make up the quar
rel and fight it out.
Imagine a whole army in Battle array
on one of the large plains that surround
Madid. In the centre a large ring is left
open for the contestants. This spot is
i raised above the plain, so that not one
of the spectators will miss one phase of
the contest.
The drum is heard; two men naked to
the waist step into the ring. The first is
tall and strong, his black eyes rove dis
dainfully upon the gaping crowd; he is
Giacomo Ferrari, the celebrated Italian.
The second, tall, also handsome, and
with muscles like steel, stands modestly
awaiting the word of command; his
name is Jean Louis. The witnesses as
sume their plat es on either side of their
principals. A death like silence en
sues.
“On guard!''
The two masters cross swords; Gia
como Ferrari lunges repeatedly nt Jean
Louis; but in vain, his every thrust is
met by u parry. He makes up his mind
to bide his chance, and caresses and
tenses his opponent’s blade, Jean Louis,
calm and watchful, lends himself to the
play, when, quicker than lightning, the
Italian jumps aside with a loud yell, and
makes a terrible lunge at Jean Louis—a
Florentine trick, often successful. But,
with extraordinary rapidity, Jean Louis
has parried, and risposts quickly in the
shoulder.
“It is nothing,” cries Giacomo, “a
mere scratch," and they again fall on
guard; almost directly he is hit in the
breast. This time, the sword of Jean
Louis, who is now attacking, penetrates
deeply. Giacomo’s face becomes livid,
his sword drops from his hand nnd he
falls heavily on the turf. He is dead.
Jean Louis is already in position: he
wipes his reeking blade, then with the
point of his sword in the ground, he
calmly awaits the next man.
The best fencer of the First regiment
has just been carried away a corpse; but
the day is not yet over. Fourteen adver
saries arc there, impatient to measure
swords with the conqueror, burning
to avenge the master they had deemed
invincible.
Jean Louis has hardly had two niin
utess rest. He is ready. A new adver
sary stands before him. A sinister click
of swords is heard, a lunge, a parry, a
rispost, and then a cry, a sigh, and all is
over. A second body is before Jean
Louis.
A third adversary advances. They
wanted Jean Louis to test. “I am not
tired," he answers with a smile.
The signal is given. The Italian has
closely watched Jean Louis’ play, and
thinks ho has guessed the secret of his
victories. He multiplies his feints and
tricks, then, all at once, bounding like a
tiger on his prey, he gives his opponent
a terrible thrust in the lower line. But
Jean Louis’ sword lias parried, nnd
is now deep within his opponent’s breast.
What need to relate any more: ten new
adversaries followed him, and the ten
fell before Jean Louis amid the excited
yells nnd roars of the army.
At the request of the Thirty-second
Hcgimeut Colonel, who thought the les-
I son sullicient, Jean Louis, after much
| pressing, consented to stop the combat,
! and he shook hands with the two survi
vors, applauded by 10,000 men.
From that day tights ceased between
French and Italian soldiers.
This wonderful and gigantic combat
might be held a futile were not all the
tacts above stated still found in the
archives of the ministry of w ar. Outing.
An Fred Gull.
It gives to women a queenly appear
ance, and to men an air of manliness, in
tegrity and fearlessness. To bend for
ward or downward while walking, indi
cates debility or mental trouble, and
always aggravates it-elf nnd promotes
disease. Pads and supporters are all
pernicious and worse than useless, be
muse they teach the system to rely on
them, anti cannot support one part of ;
the bodi without causing an unnatural
strain on some other part, and. to that ;
extent, tend to disease of that part.
There is always one easily available
and suecoss'ul method of acquiring an
erect, manly gait, without any material I
effort or feeling of awkwardness. Let
the chin be a little above a horizontal
line, which is easily done by keeping the
eye fixed on the top of some person's
hat or I outlet in front of you.
The habit of this ere t carriage may
be facilitated by accustoming yourself
when at home, in the garden or other
places, to walk with the hands behind
you, held in one another, and the head
thrown up as is done in smoking a cigar
or singings tune. /• urnal of JleaWi.

When early spring stole softly to this shore,
I gave to thee a very glad farewell;
I vowed that I would see thee nevermore.
Thy charms w ere gone and broken was the
spell.
We meet again, and warm is thy embrace,
Ab. broken pride' Still on thee must 1
dote;
Believe me. none has come to take thy place-
My old, last winter's overcoat!

Certain Chicken Cholera Cure.
Eight years of careful experiment and pains-
I taking research have resulted in the discovery
I of an infallible specific for the euro and pre
i vention of that most fatal and dreaded eneniv
of the feathered tribe Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which every
I claim for the remedy w:ih tolly substantiated,
j the remedy was placed npou the market, and
everywhere a single trial lias been all that was
required to prove ita complete success. Jho
directions for its use arc plain and simple, and
the cost of the reinedv h.ismall that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expem-e. Its
effect is almost magical. If the icinedi w
given us directed, the course of the disea--- is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
-1 i entive, there need lie no fear ot Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to lie without it. It
will do all that is claimed for it. Head tlie fol
lowing testimonial :
STATE OF GEORGIA,

Atlanta, G.i.. March 19, 1887
To the Public : The high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth and
veracity, afford convincing evidence of the
high value of the Chicken CliMera Cure he is
now offering upon the market. Il l were en
gaged in the business, 1 would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend its administration.
Yours truly,
