The Poison of the Cobra.
The fcito of tho terrible cohra of India
is looked upon as meaning certain death
It is not surprising that experiments to
determine the nature of this awful
poison Bhould attract wide attention
when they are made in a scientific man
ner entitling their results to be accepted
with confidence. Such experiments have
recently been conducted by Mr. A. A.
Kanthack. Tho venom was obtained
by pressing tho heads of living cobras.
by which nerve trying operation the
deadly fluid was squeezed out of the
angs.
The fluid dries very quickly and leaves
k yellow substance resembling gum
arabic or the dried albumen of egg, which
is easily pulverized. Tho activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boiling,
a concentrated solution of it withstand
ing the effects of boiling for an hour or
two before entirely losing its poisonous
action. A weak solution could be ren
dered innocuous by being boiled from 20
minutes to half an hour.
But of course this can give no comfort
o any -victim of a cobra bite, since the
venom, once injected into his blood,
could by no possibility be subjected to
such a process of boiling.
Ammonia and chlorine water also
proved capable of destroying the poison
if applied to it for a considerable timo
in strong solutions, and carbolic acid con
siderably delayed its poisonous action.
Some hope had been raised that doses
of strychnia might provo a means of
cure, but the experiments showed that
there was no foundation for this hope,
So far, then, a cure for the bite of the

A Sewer Gas Destroyer.
Some of the English towns and cities
have introduced a device for ventilating
sewers a Bnnsen gas burner operating
to heat to a high temperature a series of
cast iron oones over the surfaces of
which the sewer gases have to pass on
their way out to the atmosphere, which
by such contact are entirely destroyed.
In order to obviate all danger of explo
sion caused by leakage, this new safety
furnace consists of a series of cylindric
al rings or segments, each mechanical
ly fitted. An intermediate ring divides
the combustion chamber from the verti
cal air passages formed between the in
ner end outer ring of the furnace. The
heat of the furnace is conveyed to the
outer ring by means of thick cast iron
webs that form tiers of air channels
through which the uprising sewer air
passes, and the burner is supplied with
air taken from the outside of the "de
structor column." New York Sun.
f
Frenchwomen In Trousers.
For the privilege of wearing trousers
the French government charges women
a tax of from $10 to $12 a year. This by
no means gives every woman who is
willing to pay the tax a right to wear
trousers. The government instead con
fers the right as a tribute to great
merit. Trousers are, in fact, a sort of
decoration given to women as tho ribbon
of the Legion of Honor is given to men.
The only women to whom has been
granted tho right to wear trousers are

Secondhand Plate Glass.
One of the novel business trades of
Boston is that of a dealer in secondhand
plate glass. Nearly all of this glass is
bought by the dealer from insurance
companies. The large plates of this kind
of glass are insured when put in a win
dow, and when any of them is broken
the owner of the injured glass usually
prefers that the insurance company
should replace the broken piece rather
than that he should bo paid its price.
The dealer in the secondhand gla-s con
trives to utilize what remains of the un
broken part of the glass. New "iork
Tribune.
The inhabitants of this earth have
never seen out one siae or xue moon.
The explanation is this: The moon makes
one revolution on her axis in the same
period of time that she takes up in re
volving once around the earth; thus the

surface is always toward us.

Latest Outrage of Chinese on Missions.
The latest collision between foreign
missionaries and the Chinese populace
may serve as a typical example of these
regrettable incidents. Two inexperienced
men, beginning to learn the Chinese
language, find themselves planted in a
hostile district, acquire land and erect
buildings in a style notoriously offensive
to the native people, and it is fair to as
sume do other things in keeping there
with. The popular hate, which needed
no fostering, simmers awhile and at
a given moment breaks out in a murder
ous explosion, the poor missionaries be
coming martyrs, not to Christianity, but
rather to their own deplorable lack of
juQgmenr.
Of course the rioters deserve to be se
verely dealt with. It is dangerous to
leave them unpunished. Yet we know
they will not be punished, for the Chi
nese government will do neither geod
nor evil that it can avoid, and moreover,
though it may not approve of mob vio
lence, its sympathies are naturally and
necessarily with its own people, and not
with the intrusive and always hateful
foreigners. As for the western powers,
the diplomatic fiasco of 1891 afforded
conclusive proof that none of them has
a clear enough conscience to coerce the
Chinese in such a matter.- A. Michie in
London Times.
Cary Peeling the Bark Off Trees.
For some months past farmers whose
nelds touch the Darby creek near Ard-
more, Pa., have noticed that the bushes
and small trees along the water's edge
were dying. An investigation showed
that the bark had been peeled off the
trunks near the ground. OnlybuBhei

auu irees inac overnang tne creek are
affected. The farmers thought it must
be the work of rabbits, and as tho depre
dations extended for three miles a whole
sale raid upon the bunnies was planned.
Herbert A. Enochs says that a timely
and startling discovery thwarted the
farmers in their crusade. With loaded
gun a farmer sat by tho stream to watch
for the shrub destroyers when he beheld
a large carp leap from the water and
catch at the bushes. It was after a fly
tnat bad lighted there, but m its en

chunk of bark. Then auother carp was
seen doing the same thing. They had
actually girdled all the bushes on the
banks for miles in catching flies. Phil

The Era of Speculation.
In theso days of speculation and of
tremendous fluctuation in Wall street
prices it is not surprising that weak hu
man naturo yields to great temptation.
'Ihe wonder is not that a cashier, a pay
ing teller, a president, a custodian of
trust funds, yields, but that so few
among tne targe numoer of compara
tively poor men, handling hundreds of
thousands of dollars and in many in
stances securities valued at millions, fall
by tho wayside. It stands to reason that
whero one is detected half a dozen es
cape disgrace, a lucky turn in specula
tion enabling them to recoup the strong
box and to replace the borrowed assets.
It may be doubted if any of the long list
of defaulters intended at tho outset to
defraud their employers or their custo

the inevitable discovery brought ruin

The Tramp Nuisance.
ThA ieuxuv rraternity has made itfiplP
annsualiy obnoxious cinnui? -
times, nd heroic measures have been
resorted to for the purpose of suppress
ing it. In San Francisco the tramps
that infested and robbed the docks were
driven out by dueking them in the sea.
In Boston it seems that the sacred
common nau literally iaiien into the
hands of tramps before the police could
be aroused to a sense of their duty. Pe
destrians were accosted at all hours of
the day and night, and if they did not
give were cursed and even struck, ac
cording to tho hour and the loneliness of
tho locality. Women were bullied and
insulted and children robbed of their
pennies, c many tne police decided to
raid the common and rid it of its bandit
ti. Twenty-five arrests were made, the
prisoners were sent "to tho island," the
common is now safe for travelers, and

have also taken to wearing foreign un
derclothing, eating foreign foods, smok-
)reign tobacco and doing many
other things contrary to the old fash
ioned Chineso usage. They also ride in

Chamberlain's CourIi Remedy is

tell j-ou. When this remedy is
taken as soon as a cold has been
contracted, and before it has become
settled in the system, it will counter
act the effect o"f the cold and greatly
lessen it's severity, and it is the only
remedy that wilfdo this. It acts in
perfect harmony with nature and
aids uature in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions, liquefying
the mucus and causing its expulsion
from the air cells of the lungs and
restoring the svstem to a strong and
healthy condition. No other remedy
in the market possesses these re
markable properties. No other
will cure a cold so quickly. For

It Is the Only Country In the "World WJicro
Foundling Arc Debarred I'rout ihc
Workhouse Their Care Intrusted to the
Kcflned and Wealthy.
There is only one country in the world
where orphan children and foundlings
are debarred from admission to the work
house. It is in Austria, which maintains
that to placo the stigma of pauperism
upon the poor littlo things is to handi
cap them later on in the race for life and
bread, and thus to lessen their chance of
ever becoming self supporting and self
respecting citizens. That their reason
7 " i. - - T 1. . 1 .
ing is jusi. is ssiiuwu uy inu results.
Whereas in Paris, London and Berlin
the majority of children born in work
houses return vears afterward to die
there. In Vienna it is a most unusua
occurrence for a foundling or an orphan
dependent unon public charitv to be
come in old age a. charge upon the com
munity.
In Austrian cities children of this class
are boarded out in the families of work
men living in the suburbs at the expense
of the municipality. But their care is
intrusted, not to the workhouse authori
ties, b. i to gentlemen and ladies of
leisure, fortune and respectability, who
practicallv become the guardians of tho
littlo ones.
Their charge is a purely honorary one,
and they are chosen as a rule by the
bunromaster of tho city or town from
among tho nobility, the retired magis
trates, tho half pay officers, the rich
childless widows and wealthy old maids.
They bear the title of orphan fathers
and orphan mothers, and so honorable
is the position regarded by tho popula
tion that tno mayor never experiences
any difficulty in securing the services of
a sufficient number of such official par
ents.
During tho early youth of their wards
the duties of theso orphan parents are
confined to visiting them at unexpected
times and to keeping tho people with
whom they board up to the mark bv
showing them that tho children have
powerful protectors. Upon tho official
parent devolves the responsibility of de
ciding tho special calliug in life for
which the youngsters show the most apt
itude, tho only stipulation made by the
municipal authorities being that the boys
should be taught some skilled labor or
profession calculated to give them later
on a chanco of being able to support a
wife and family and to lay by provision
for old age. When these lads go out into
the world, it is to their official parents
that they turn for a character, and if
evil das coino to them they appeal to
their official protectors for help.
It is an incalculable benefit for a boy
who is just starting out in life to have a
man of position to stand by him and to
speak to the world in his favor, nor is
there anything in connection between
tho two to rufile the independence of tho
younger, lor when onco launched m lite
the elder stands to him simply in the re
lation of an old and tried friend, whose
advice he may folio wor not as he pleases.
With regard to the orphan or found
ling girls, they are mostly trained for
domestic service, which, however, they
aro not permitted to enter before the
age or 11, and then it becomes the or
phan mother's duty to investigate tho
character of tho persons who propose to
employ her, to see that sho is well treat
ed and eventually, when she marries, to
find out nbout the man's reputation and
as to whether ho has the means of keepJ
mg a wife.
Usually it is from her own house that
the marriage takes place, and at every
turn the girl is made to feel the advan
tage of having a lady of rank to whom
sho can always appeal, who is bound to
protect her, to defend her when wrong
fully accused and to guard her as far as
possible from evil.
Thanks to theso orphan parents, heredi
tary pauperism in Austria has been
practically stamped out, and there is
much in tho system that may commend
itself to people on this side of the Atlan
tic. The condition of the pauper orphans
and of tho foundlings now dependent
upon tho public charity of this great
metropolis would certainly be vastly im
proved and the future prospects of thelit-
tio uniortuiuues rendered more promis
ing were our leading citizens and their
'wives to follow tho example of the people
m similar standing m Austria, and to add
a new and useful interest to their lives
by assuming the honorary and honorable
office of orphan parents. New York

THE MIDSPOT OF OUR PLANET.
Many
Places Which Contest the Honor.
Their Claims.
For several centuries different cities of
the orient have contested with each oth
er for the houcr of being recognized as
tho midspot of our planet. In 18SS a
London geographer issued an elaborate
work, in which ho tried to prove the
British metropolis to be the center of tho
landed surface of tho globe. Jerusalem
and Delphi, notwithstandingthat neither
is situated on or very near tho equator,
have for ages been tho two main con
testants in this great central city contro
versy. AVilliani Simpson of tho London So
ciety For tho Exploration of Palestine
tells us that Herr Schick has sent home
drawings of the spot in Jerusalem which
is supposed by somo to be tho exact cen
ter of our world. This interesting placo
is in tho Greek church, nine feet to tho
right of tho reliquary containing what
purports to be the crown of thorns worn
by onr Saviour, tho first nail that was
driven through his right hand and tho
blood which he shed on that memorable
occasion.
It is written in the Psalms. "God is
my king of old, working salvation in
the midst of tho earth."
This can only refer to the scenes of tho
passion and ot the holy scpulcher. The
midst or spot of the earth must, there
fore, be sought m that vicinity. The be
lief that tho center of tho earth is at
Jerusalem is very ancient, for it is al
hided to by St. Ephrem in his reference
to Noah's prayer over the bones of Adam.
St. Ephrem says, "And Noah buried
Adam's bones in the middle of tho
earth." A certain round stono in the
temple of Delphi is also spoken of by
tho ancient writers as being tho "navel
or center of tho earth."
Orestes takes refugo there when pur
sued by Euminides. Pindar also makes
mention of tho exact location of tho
center of tho world, and Pensanius, like
ilerr fcchick, also had tho pleasure of
beholding tho only genuine central hub
of our planet. He, however, locates it
at Delphi instead of at Jerusalem. "It
is made," ho said, "of white stone,
smooth and polished, and is no doubt
the middle point of the world." Phila

A "! an Trick.
A lawyer defending a promissory note
went to lunch, leaving his books and ci
tations on tho tablo m tho courtroom.
The opposing counsel sneaked back into
tho room and changed the places of all
his bookmarks. In tho afternoon tho
lawyer, taking up his books, referred the
court to his authorities. Ilis lordshin
noted even volume and page carefully
and took the case under consideration.
In rendering his opinion ho said:
"I was inclined after hearing argu
ment of counsel for defendant to non
suit plaintiff, but I find, after referring j
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
uono of them bear on this case, and 1
am leu to think that the gentleman has
been willfully trying to insult the court.
He has referred me to an action of an
Irishman who sued tho proprietor of a
monkey for damages for biting him to a
caso of arson, ono of burglary, two of
petty larceny and three divorce cases,
uono of which bears on an action to re
cover on r promissory note. Perhaps
the grossest insult to the court is refer
ring to 'Duckworth versus Boozymau,
an action charging defendant with
breach of promise. Judgment for plain
tiff with costs."

ter was and to this day thinks tho judge

Fined a Dead Man.
Down m southwestern Texas, just
about midway between Houston in the
east and El Paso in the west, and very
near to tho Iiio Grande, the Southern
Pacific railway has built over the Pecos
river tho highest bridge in tho United
States. Just before this bridge was fin
ished one of tho workmen fell from it
and was of course killed.
Tho county judge was brought from
Langtry, the town nearest to the bridge,
to hold a "crowner's 'quest." The judge
arrived with a great concourse of people,
all anxious to serve on the jury. Pro
ceedings wero begun by examining tho
body of the dead man. Upon this were
found a loaded revolver and $40 in cash.
Perceiving this, the judge said:
'There ain't nothing to do about this
case, gentlemen of the jury. The man's
dead, and it's perfectly plain how he
met his death. But what I want to know
is, what was he doing with that gun?
That's against the laws of Texas. He ain't
hero to explain, but becanso a man takes
it into his head to put on wings and
mount to the skies is no reason why the
great state of Texas should be defrauded

Peacocks leathers have been handed
down to us from tho ancient davs of
mythology as emblematical of treachery,
evil and misfortune. Tho origin of this
strange superstition is founded upon tho
loiiowmg classical story: Osiris, king
of Egypt, upon starting on his Indian ex
pedition, left his queen, Isis, regent, with
Argus, his minister, as her chief adviser.
Argus, with his hundred eyes, or rather
his tpies, soon made himself so formi
dable and powerful that he seized tho
queen regent, shut her up in a strong
castlo and proclaimed himself king of
Egypt. Mercury was sent against him
with a strong army, took him captive
and cut off his head, whereupon Juno
metamorphosed him into a peacock and
set his spies in his tail. From this legend
and the various additions mado to it
from time to timo the belief has arisen
that it is unlucky to have neacocks' feath
