bad colds followed his example and half

It is an easy thing to account for the
wonderful growth of the Daily State
Journal recently. Its price has been
reduced to 50 cents per month without
Sunday or 65 cents with Sunday. The
Journal has always been reliable and
honest, printing the news without fear
or favor. The people of Nebraska realize
that they need a paper published at the
capital, and when the price of the Jour
nal was reduced the subscription list
grew at a phenomenal rate. The Jour
nal is a Nebraska paper through and

DBADUB3T OP POISONS.
From m African Plant, an Atom of
Vklol la Dao«arona.
To thabest of our knowledge the
moat deadly poison la that which was
discovered by Professor Frazer, of
Edinburgh, Scotland, and known aa
shophanthidin. He separated it from
the African poison plant, shophan
thus hispldus, by means of ether and
alcohol. As little as a one-thousand*
millionth part of an ounce of crystal*
lized shophanthldtn produces a dis
tinctly injurious effeot upon the
heart, and a very small quantity is
fatal Another deadly poison is cy
anogen gas, the principal ingredient
of hydrocyanic or prussio add.
At ordinary temperatures it
is simply a gas, but can be
condensed by cold and pressure
into a thin, colorless liquid and be
comes a solid mass at 30 degrees
Fahrenheit. The inhalation in ita
gaseous state of a most minute quan
tity would cause instant death. One of
the most deadly poisons is arseniur
etted hydrogen, or arsenio, which is
formed by decomposing an alloy of
arsenic and zinc with sulphuric acid.
It is a colorless gas, possessing a
fetid odor of garlic, and aots as a most
deadly poison. Adolph Ferdinand
Oehlen, a chemist born about 1775 at
Butow, in Pomerania, was the dis
coverer of it. While experimenting
with it at Munich, on July 15, he in
haled a single bubble of the pure gas
and died in eight days from the ef
fects. The accident occurred through
his smelling at the joints of his appa
ratus to discover a flaw. Others en
gaged in chemical operations have
died from the effects of this poison in
three days.
LIKE 8LAVES.
Although Then Negroes Know That
They Are Free.
In Cumberland county, Tennessee,
there are five negroes who are just as
much slaves as they were before the
war. The plantation on which they
live is run on a small soale bnt on
exactly the same principles as it was
forty years ago. The five negroes
live in the slave quarters, just as
about thirty men did in the ‘‘good
old times.” Not one of the five ever
received a cent in wages. They are
perfectly aware that they are free,
but they have a kind of philosophical
appreciation of the fact that they
were not cut out for financiers. From
time to time one or more of them
have wandered from the fold, only to
come back half baked and half starved.
The men are 'quite content, and
their grumbling is clearly chronic
rather than the result of any special
desire for a change. The squire is
now a very old man, but he orders
his unpaid help around with all the
vim and energy of a youth and the
alacrity with which he is obeyed
seems to indicate to a visitor that dis
obedience involves prompt treatment
and unpleasant consequences. The
plantation altogether presents a
strikingly entertaining reproduction
of the South before the war, and to
judge from the appearance of the
buildings and outhouses scarcely a
dollar has been spent in repairs since
the issuing of Lincoln’s famous proc
lamation
LOST CARNOT’S HAT.
In the Excitement of the Moment An
other Man Wore It Awar.
A strange incident marked the last
days spent by Mme. Carnot in the
palace which had Hejn her home for
seven anxious years. She desired to
preserve as precious relics for her
family all the articles of dress worn
by her husband at the moment when
he was struck down by the assassin’s
hand. These were carefully collected
and sent to her, but the hat alone was
missing, and it was supposed to have
been lost in the confusion of that
fatal drive. It appears, however, that
among the first to offer medical help
as the victim lay on his deathbed at
the prefectuie was Dr. Girard, the
mayor of Cliarbonnieres.
When other surgeons took charge of
the case this gentleman discreetly
withdrew and was looking for his
hat, whereupon Colonel Chamoin
handed one to him. He put it on and
went home thinking it was his own,
for it fitted him exactly. Not until
some day later he cast his eyes on this
article of headgear as it hung in his
hall, examined it more closely and
found it marked inside with a “C”
did he recognize his mistake. The
lost hat was forthwith restored and
Mme. Carnot acknowledged its receipt
in a letter expressing her heartfelt
thanks.
Too a Pro-luct.
A recent bo-ik narrates that a part}
from the vest of England was shown
over the British museum. In one of
the rooms the keeper pointed out a
collection of antique vases which had
been recently dug up at Herculaneum.
“Dug up, sir?” echoed one of the
party. “Yes, sir.” “What, out of the
ground? “Undoubtedly.” “What,
just as they now are?” “Perhaps
some little pains have been taken in
cleaning them, but in all other re
spects they were found just as you
see them.” The wise man from Som
ersetshire turned to one of his com
panions, and with an incredulous
shake of the head, whispered: “He
may say what he likes, but he shall
never persuade me that they dug up
ready-made pots out of the ground!”
Changes In Dress.
Rubber shoes are not as salable as
they were a few years ago. Women
are getting sensible. They have dou
ble soled boots that are made for the
street and worn on the street. Some
are calfskin, but all are thick,service
able and comfortably fitted. Boots of
this sort invariably accompany the
cloth dress, felt hat and loose gloves
of the woman who understands and il
lustrates the eternal fitness of thinga>

HE'D L.ET OO.
A Buffalo Man Give, a Pointer to tha
Saint.
In an art gallery in a town not far
from Buffalo there hangs a splendid
painting by some Frenchman (name
forgotten by deponent) of the temp
tation of St Anthony. The painting
is one of the show pieces of the gal
lery and cost a fabulous amount of
money.
This artist's version of the tempta
tion represents the sorely-tried
saint clinging to a small sap
ling with one hand, while three
scantily-clad and bewitching fe
males are tugging on the other
hand and trying to pull the saint from
his tree. The expression on the
saint's face is the crowning glory of
the picture. It is marvelously painted.
The other day a dignified and well
known Buffalonlan was escorting
through the gallery his wife
and her friend, a charming yrang
widow from Washington. They
came to this picture and stood
before it a long time discussing its
beauties.
Just as they were about to leave,
the young Washington widow glanced
archly at the Buffalonlan and said:
“Now Mr. B. if you were in St. An
thony’s place, what would you do?"
The Buffalo man looked perplexed
And hesitated for a minute, then said:
“Well, if the tree didn’t break, I think
I should let go my hold.”
HALF BROWN.
furious Markings on tbo Body of a Lu
lls White Boy.
The colored woman who is turning
white in places has a rival in a little
white boy who was born brown in
places. The color of his brown places
is about the same as that of the skin
of the average Afro-American.
The little boy, George Bussell by
name, is the son of a baker in New
York. He was born in Omaha two
years ago. He is fain-haired and his
skin is light, aside from the patchea
He is plump and healthy.
The boy is mostly white as far down
as the waist line, below which he is
brown, with the exception of the left
leg below the knee.
The white portion, including the
face, arms and body, is dotted with
large patches of varying intensity of
color. On the left temple is a very
large red birthmark. This is the only
approach to deformity in the child.
Otherwise he is very well formed.
There are fifteen spots on the face,
nearly as many more on the scalp, and
more are scattered over the should
ers, arms and body. The left leg be
low the knee is liberally spotted with
color down to the foot and on the toes.
Palpitations the Heart
Shortness of Breath, Swelling
of Legs and Feet.
“For about four years I was troub
led with palpitation of the heart,
shortness of breath and swelling or
the legs and feet. At times I would
faint. I was treated by the best phy
sicians in Savannah, 6a., with no re
lief. I then tried various Springs
without benefit. Finally, I tried
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
also his Nerve and Liver Pills. After
beginning to take them J felt later! I
continued taking them and I am now
In better health than for many years.
Since my recovery I have gained fifty
pounds in weight, I hope this state
ment may be of value to some poor
sufferer.”
