Singular Climatic Effects.
. Says the Denver (Col.) Great West.'
It is a singular fact that almost every
body loses flesh on coming here from
the East. The average loss in weight
sustained is about one-eighth. For in
stance, in the course of two or three
months a 200-pound mm loses twenty
, five pounds and becomes a 175-pounder.
This is due to the high altitude of Den
ver—a mile above the sea to the dry and
light atmosphere, to the scarcity of vegi
‘ tation and the comparative abundance
of oxygen, which consumes the tissues
' and taxes the vital functions to a greater
extent than on lower altitudes. Higher
up it is much worse than here. At Lead
ville, for instance, which is two miles
above the sea level, the diminution in
weight does not generally fall short of a
sixth or seventh, and it takes place
; much more rapidly than here. In that
high altitude, too, lung diseases, such as
pneumonia, very frequently set in, and
they prove fatal in about 30 per cent, of
the cases attacked. But very tew dogs,
except hounds, can live in Leadvifle,
and no cats survive there. In Denver,
however we have a multitude of both
dogs and cats, and they appear to
perlenoe no special difficulty about liv
• mg and getting fat. Yet it is a
notacgatlg fact that animals and men toge
a share of their tlrength afi£r 'doming
here. After being here two or three
. months their muscular power is not near
so great as in the East. Eight hours of
continuous labor does more to exhaust
and prostrate a man here than ten hours
in Illinois or Wisconsin. And when
worn out and prostrated a feeling of las
situde and drowsiness that it is very dif
ficult to dispel comes over one. In such
instances many hours of rest are requi
site to repair and rebuild the wasted en
ergies, Mental labor is even more ex
hausting than physical. A healthy man
may do manual labor for eight or ten
hours a day and experience therefrom no
special evil effects j but let mental labor
be pursued with like assiduity and the
nervous system becomes weakened and
irritable. In time the physical powers
become disordered and weakened by
sympathy and by the strain upon them
to supply the brain waste. These facts
are more predicable of new-comers than
of those who have resided for a year or
more at high altitudes. Persons and an
imals thoroughly acclimated do not ex
perience these drawbacks. Indeed, these
could not look better anywhere than
they appear here. The great difficulty
is in getting acclimated.

1879, it appears that the colored people
, of Georgia own 541,199 acres of land,
which is equal to six and one-tenth acres

by colored people from 338,769 acres in
1873, and snows a rapid growth in their

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

BLIND JUSTICE.
BY HELEN B. MATHERS.
CHAPTER XIV—Continced,
Surely no man had ever a nicer
calculation to make, or one requiring
more judgment or medical knowl
edge. than I had then, for though I
telt myself morally justified in push
ing my experiment and his endurance
to the utmost limit, I knew that I
was actually guilty of murder if he
died under the tost And the skilled
intelligence that could have lifted
the heavy burden from my shoulders
tarried yet, so that twice I sent
Stephen in searoh of Dr. Cripps, and1
was now awaiting his second return.
With a bitter sense of powerlessness
I felt myself reduced to one of two
oourses; to restore the man’s poison
to him, and with it his life, or to
withhold it, and so inflict on him
death, and, as a natural consequence,
On Judith, also.
How long, I asked myself impo
tently, mignt a man writhe in unre
lieved tortures not to be surpassed
by any in Dante's Inferno, and yet
retain life in his racked bodyP Would
not his resolution by infinitesimal
degrees give way, and that confes- j
sion spring to hia lips which would
Ujt him frem thg pajps q{ purgatory
into the £eace of h'£ar£if
I hav| since fought that it might
have done, had not Stephen heofl
present to keep alive in him the jeal
ous hatred that devoured him. And
to this day I believe that if Judith’s
love had been an ordinary fisherman,
instead of in the likeness of a young
Greek god, the Styrlan would have
gone his way with that raging devil
uqaroused in him, which even
prompted self-slaughter, rather than
the surrender of her to one so infin
itely his superior.
But my blunder in bringing the
two men together was on a par with
my other mistakes, and, like them,
irreclaimable. And I began to think
that ray latest achievement in en
gaging the Styrian in a duel of wills,
out of which, dead or alive, he must
emerge victorious, was but the big
gest mistake of alL
And truly I could not but feel ad
miration for this wretch (who put
me forcibly in mind of the fabled boy
who suffered the fox to knaw at his
heart rather than cry out whose
heroic absence of sound or word
(since once he had taken his resolve)
only impressed the more vividly his
agony upon me, and yet I sat there
watching like a stone, or a devil,
with the means of relieving it lying
idle to my hand.
If he died, would his death be
proof presumptive that Seth Treloar
died in the same way, not from the
effects of the poison but from the
cessation of it?
Suddenly it struck on me like a
chili blow that this man had been my
guest, that I had no one to bring
forward as witness that he adminis
tered the arsenic to himself, that the
box was even then in my possession,
and, if he were found dead, I should
be in precisely the same position-as
Judith had filled, and possibly found
guilty, as she had been, of a crime I
had never committed. True, Dr.
Cripps knew the circumstance, but
he could only quote my unsupported
testimony, which would go for noth
ing. And as all these things dawned
upon me I said to myself that verily
the Styrian’s revenge upon me, as
upon Judith, would be complete in
deed.
A man s guilt—and very often his
success—is decided by the way he !
rises to an emergency or quails be- !
fore it, and 1 must confess that I
failed before this one, and did not
think or do any one of the hundred
things that an heroic man would ;
have done easily in my place. I just j
waited in a sort of sullen stupor for :
events to take their course, for Dr
Cripps to turn up, or for the man to
think better of his suicidal obstinacy,
or for some command from my in
nermost self that I dared not dis
obey, but neither Cripps, nor the
Styrian’s repentance, nor my spir
itual orders arrived, though some
thing else did, with all the swiftness
of a genuine catastrophe.
A long, convulsive shiver suddenly
passed through the Styrlan’s body,
then his head fell forward above#the
arms clenched across his heart, and
he was still.
Cold as the dead, I gazed, and all
the irrevocableness of my deed
rushed upon me. I knew then the
sensations of the murderer, whose
hand has in one moment substituted
death for life, and who stands ap
palled at the awful image he has
created.
Like him, I would have flown from
the sight that will never leave him
more by night nor by day, but an
inward power compelled me, and
making my way to the Styrian, I
threw myself down l>eside the hud
dled up, stirless figure.
I touched his hands, they were ice
—his heart, aud could find no beat;
then an awful sense of his presence,
of being alone with this murdered
spirit, we two apart, and forever
face to face, while heaven and earth
fell away, seized me, and with a cry
in my ears of “Whore is now thy j
brother Abel?” 1 fell downwards !
across the Styrlan's feet.
CHAPTER XV.
What happened after was such a
confused medley of fact and imagine
tion, that I find it difficult to do
scribe what really happened.
I thought I fell headlong down a
pit of darkness to have my throat
I seized by strong hands, that choked
! my gasping breath as it rose, while
i my temples seemed bursting with
| the waves of blood that surged up
I wards, until a dull stupor crept over
I me, in which 1 felt no pain. Sud
denly, 1 was dragged out of it by a
| vigorous wrench that set me free of
j thoso iron fingers, and I was flung
| aside, scarce knowing if I were the
victim of a realistic dream, or
awake, and roughly treated in very
| prosaic fashion indeed.
But even as I lay there, stunned
and stupid, the lightning conscious
ness of what I had done flashed
through my mind, and I covered my j
face with my arms and groaned
aloud.
Immediately I felt a touch on my
shoulder, and Steve's voice sounded
in my ear.
‘•Be ’ee much hurt?” he inquirod
anxiously; “yon devil war dose ’pon
flnishin' 'ee oft when I corned in.
What Ivor made ’ee go a’nigst un?”
I dragged myself up and saw—O
God! a sight that made me the hap
piest man alive. For there, the liv
idness gone from his face, and the
raging agony of his eyes changed to
an expression of mocking triumph
sat the man of whom I had believed
myself to be the murderer for the
few most awful moments of my life.
“Thank God!" 1 cried, forgetful of
Judith, forgetful of everything, save
that 1 was not to be followed by the
accursed shadow of blood guiltiness
for the rest of my days.
“Tss,” said Stephen, “’ee may
well say that Him have robbed ’ee
too—he’m got the box ’ee set so
much store ’pon, an’ swallowed some
dbe inside,” .
I uttered ad exclamation, and
looked at the Styrlan.
Ay, by artifice he had overcome
me. and obtained the mediaine that
was his life, and healthy vigor once
more flowed through his blood, and
showed in his natural fresh color,
and for a considerable time, at least,
he could defy me.
He laughed as our eyes met and a
glow of intense triumph overspread
his features.
“You are beaten,” he said, “con
fess it and let me go in peace. You
will hardly care to go through the
experience of last night again, and I
see you have scruples about taking a
man's life. I had none whatever
about relieving you of yours, and if
yonder fellow had not returned—”
he paused significantly, and I per
fectly understood him.
“I should have out my cords with
your pocket knife,” he continued
coolly, “and walked out Curse that
interfering fool," and he darted a
savage look at Stephen.
“And now you will do nothing of
the sort." I said; “it will be easy
enough to take that box from you,
and I have plenty of time, I can af
ford to wait until you tire of this
game.”
His face fell, and I saw that he
bad not expected my stubbornness
to hold out any longer.
“So be it," he said with affected
indifference, “but living you will no
more be able to drag a word from me
than dead. She alone can make me
speak, but if she will not—” he
shrugged his shoulders .in comple
tion of the sentence.
I left him, and went to the open
door, for my head was still giddy,
and my throat sore from the Styr
ian’s grasp.
Dawn was breaking in sober guise,
a chilly wind blew up from the sea,
as I gazed abroad methought the
spirit of spring had folded her wings
and stolen away in the night, taking
with her the warm hopes that ran
riot but yesterday in my breast.
I felt helpless as a derelict that
drifts hither and thither at the mer
cy of the waves, for I had no power
within to guide myself or others.
Yesterday I had regarded myself
as master of the situation, to-day I
knew that the Styrlan held the key
of it. and would indifferently live or
die with it in his possession.
Involuntarily I took the way that
led to Dr. Cripp's house, and arrived
at his gate just in time to see him
driving up in his shabby cart, look-!
ing thoroughly jaded and lagged out. ■
“Well, man,” he said, irascibly, as
I opened my lips to speak, “what do
you want with me at this hour?’’
“Want with you?” I said indig
nantly in my turn, “why. you forget
that man, you promised to watch
him with me last night, and—”
“Promised a fiddlestick.” he said,
tnrowing the reins to a Cornish lad
who hurried up, “I’ve had other fish
to fry. A dozen killed, five and
thirty mangled in the worst railway
accident we ever had hereabouts,
what time do you think I'have had
to bother about your Styrian. ,
And he walked stifily into the
house, pausing inside to call back:
“I must get some sleep and then
I’ll come down. Is the man dead?”
“No, but I’ll bet my night has
been a worse one than yours ”
I thought I heard a fierce grumble
in the distance as I moved away,
bitterly disappointed, but yet with a
wholesome sense of correction that
helped to brace . up my unstrung I
nerves.
i set myself resolutely to walk,
and so transfer my trouble of mind
to faticrue of" muscles, and soon felt
the desired effect; my mind grew
calm, the strain upon me relaxed, I
regarded the night and its events
dispassionately, asking myself in
what better way I could have acted,
and whether indeed I had not been
imposed upon and hoaxed by a con
summate actor. But no, the Styrian’s
sufferings had been very real, and I
could not but believe that, though
he so cleverly simulated death as to 1
out-match me, yet that death itself i
trod hard on the heels of bis cow,-1
/
terfeit, and only by a hair's breadth
had I escaped a crime.
It was, I thought, natural enough
that he should try to take tho life ot
a man who had in cold blood almost
taken his, and I bore him no malloe,
and possibly thought that It would
have been nobody's loss, nor mine
either, it he had.
And then my thoughts turned to
Judith, and ot how, through the
long night, life must have bockoned
her with alluring linger, bidding her
turn away from death and with
Stephen to tultill her allotted span,
and to find peace, ay, and even hap*
piness, as time slowly blotted out the
past. But alasl tor Judith, she was
no time server, no trader in love, but
one who threw down her one queen
ly gltt in all its integrity and had no
power to take from or add to It more.
CHAPTER XVI.
I could not face the house and my
triumphant nrisonor, and remained
abroad till I saw Dr. Crlpns’ rotund
person climbing tho path, far more
rapidly, too, than usual, as I thought
Even at the distance I was, 1 por
oeived a beaming cheerfulness in his
broad face that distinctly irritated
me.
“It is all very well for you," I
growled to myself, “who have been
doing your duty nobly all night, and
since slept like a top for some hours,
and eaten a good breakfast, but I've
done none of these things, and boon
made a fool of into the bargain. ’’
When a few hundred yards distant
he spied me. and brandished in the
air something that looked yellow or
pink, shouting out “Hurrah!" at the
same time, as loudly as his scarcity
of breath would permit,
“I Wondered w&at he found to
hurrah at, as I advanced to meet
him, but my ill-humor gave way to
rapture as he shouted out, “Judith
is saved, man, saved! Read this, and
this," and h? thrust several tel
egraphfo sheets into my hand.
••There’s a good fellow for you,"
he said, “only got my letter at 8,
answer here by 9, and a boy has
walked two miles with it from the
telegraphic office. Evidently deeply
interested, and thinks me a fool, of
Course, but bow’s a poor devil in the
desert to keep up with all the new
discoveries in town.”
The message—it was a long one—
ran tnus:
“In 1875, at the forty-eighth an
nual meeting of the German society of
naturalists and ' physicians, which
was held at Gratz, Or. Knapp, prac
tising in Styria, introduced two male
arsenlo eaters to the assembly. One
of these men consumed in their
presence above six grains of
white arsenic—that is, enough
to poison three men — without
suffering the slightest incon
venience: he stated he had been ac
customed to this sort of thing for
years, and that it was a practice
common among ox-herds and shep
herds in fcjtyrla. One peculiarity of
arsenic eating is this, that, when a
man has once begun to indulge in it.
he must oontlnue to indulge, for, if
he ceases, the arsenic in his system
poisons him, or, as it is popularly
expressed, the last dose kills him.
Indeed, the arsenic eater must not
only continue in his indulgence, he
must also increase the quantity of
the drug, so that it is extremely dif
ficult to stop the habit, for, as sud
den cessation causes death, the
gradual cessation produces suoh a
terrible heart-gnawing, that it may
probably be said that no genuine
arsenic eater ever ceased to eat arse
nio while life lasted. The fact is
unprecedented in the annals of toxic
ology; and though incredible, it is
true that our bodies, which may be
annihilated with two grains of a
white powder, may be so far changed
as to require, nay, even crave for, a
dose of this same poison. In Styria
this arsenic poison goes by the name
of 'Henri.’ Full medical report fol

Tramp* mmI Their Sign**
Jim Ward, who signs himsel^*Ghiof,”
writes to the Troy Times: I have just
returned to your oil after a tour of
exploration down South lasting several
months, and reading in your paper an
artiole on tramp* and their marks, I
desire to be allowed, as an old veteran
of that "honorable” body known as "the
tramp organisation,” to correct a few
mistakes. I claim that the tramps were
the originators of the myatlo marks
which nave so frequently adorned
fences, gate posts and doors, although
it is possible that soap agents—mem
bers of another branoh of the tramp
organisation—have since adopted these
marks for business purposes. When
tramping was good—and that waa some
years ago—it was understood by us that
all houses where the inmates were good
for food, olothing or money were to be
marked in order to give us little trou
ble when we wanted anything. Where
only a meal oould be obtained, this fact
was indicated by a small square; where
a fellow would get the grand bounce an
X expressed it, and for olothing he was
direoted by XX. Money house* were
marked t; a house where the inmates
were friendly, but the dog unfriendly,
was mttked by l great big D. But at
the present day tramps are not guided
by these marks, as there are few houses
where tramps are regularly fed. The
tramp bore is now played out, but
whatever may be said against the tramp
it oannot be denied that he has made
his mark in this world.

DOES IT PAY TO THIN GOBNT
It iiu been urged by some that it is
best to plant many more kernels than
are wanted for a stand, then thinning
the corn when 'of proper size, say six
to fourteen inches high, being careful
to remove the weaker stalks. In order
to compare the results of this method
with that of planting only so many ker
nels as will give the desired number of
stalks per acre without thinning, the
Ohio university conducted the follow
ing experiment: Four-fifths of an acre
of land from which the soil had been
removed some years previous for mak
ing brick, was measured and divided
into four equal parts.
A strip of uniform width across the
plats was laid out, giving an equal
amount in each plat. Melilotus or
sweet clover was grown on the land
the four seasons of 1888 to 1891 inclu
sive. The melilotus was not cut, but
was allowed to go down each year and
re-seed the land. A crop of wheat was
cut from this land in 1893. Aside from
any effect which the melilotus may
have had the land was practically uni
form in quality and condition. Two
plats were planted at the rate of one
grain per foot in the rows. The seed
was excellent and almost every grain
grew. These plats were not thinned.
Two plats were planted at the rate of
three grains per foot in the rows, and
were thinned to practically the same
number of stalks per acre as were then
on the plats not thinned. The thin
ning was done July 7, just four weeks
after planting, and the corn ranged
from one to two feet high. The plats
which were thinned yielded 690 pounds
of ear corn, while those which were not
thinned yielded 813 pounds, a decrease
of 14 per cent, due to the thinning.
This was an exceptionally dry season.
The thinning probably caused more in
jury than would ordinarily result
