Two pounds, at least, of waste matter having to pass through the skin every 24 hours In order that the body may be kept in a state of health, and passed so minutely as to be invisible to the eye, shows how exertmely numerous and fine the ramifications of the blood vessels or capillaries must be when even a needle's point cannot touch anywhere without piercing them. The number of these pores is estimated by Krause as 2.381,248. Anything, therefore, such as exposure to cold, DANOBRS IN CANNED GOODS Abuse of Perfumes.

Unscrupulous dealers buy these "swells," punch a second hole and heal the contents a second time. This treat ment is known as "re-processing" and has been repeated in certain instances four times. It is quite easy for a purchaser te tell whether he or she is buying a good can of fruit or one containing the dead ly poison. In the first place, the head of "swell" is always bulged out, and one presses it In it will spring back with a "ting." This is a sure sign that decomposition has begun, and that can of fruit. If eaten, may poison a whole family. In the contrast the head of a good can will not spring back if pressed in but remain sunken. This Is sufficient test alone, but in spectors go still further.

It Is reported that the New Tork Central road has forbidden the practice f throwing rice, old shoes and similar eilRsiles at newly wedded couples In Its railway stations or train sheds. It Is claimed that such Indiscriminate hurl ing of things when bridal couples are Jepartln ghas frequently resulted In ac cidents to passengers, and the recent measure of the company Is taken with the Idea of minimizing the chances of such accidents. A story Is going the rounds of the newspapers to the effect that Sousa re cently stopped an organ grinder In New $"ork, who was reeling out one of his marches, and played It himself In the time that suited him best. This always was a good story and has been told on every composer ever known. An unap preciated Latin author tells of the Em peror Nero who, having composed some turning lines. took the fiddle away from mi of the firemen of Home because he played the hose so badly. The people of the United States con Mime 21,000,000 pounds of almonds every fear. The greater number are used In the manufacture of perfumery, soap nd flavoring extracts. The amount consumed on the table Is comparatively imall. California last year furnished 14,600,000 pounds, 4,500,000 pounds came from Spain, 1,000,000 pounds from Italy and a considerable quantity from 3reece and Portugal. At the same time we used about 12,000,000 pounds of co roanuts, of which about 7,000.000 pounds were produced In Florida. The remain ler were Imported from the West Indies The Hamburg-American Steamship company, since putting Into commission Its new vessels. Is now the largest In the world. It has seventy-four ocean steamers, with a total tonnage of 329, 110, an average of about 4.500 tons, and a fleet of river steamers, lighters, etc., of 13,756 tons. Until recently the Hamburg-American company had not re ceived a subsidy from the government, but had usually paid a dividend of 8 per cent upon Its capital of 50,000,000 marks. Ijwt year the gross earnings were -1,745,830 marks, and the expenses 10,02,118 marks. The Hamburg com pany Is now building a steamer named the Peutschland. with a displacement of 10,000 tons and a speed of twenty two knots, which will be the largest and fastest passenger vessel afloat", and will be completed In time to catch the traffic for the Paris exposition. rls. The shadow of the clear pungent lavender may precede her, but ths most sensitive and refined women shrink in tuitively from the odors that attract the parvenue. Few people outside the scientific world know the hygienic value as well as the danger lurking In flower scents. The effect of musk, rose saffron and almond flowers Is almost hypnotic tu some sensitive organizations. To oth ers the heavy odors are like strains of sensuous music, and In their results the revere of elevating. Hysteria is In evitably aggravated and frequently caused by the odor of musk, and the use of this perfume should be forbid den delicate girls and women. On the other hand, the effect of the odors yielded by the balsa mn of l'eru and Mecca, benzoin tolu, cascarllia and cinnamon are tonic and Invigorating. The perfumes possessing real antlsop- tlc qualities are numerous, and It Is an acknowledged fact that until the Egyptians abandoned the practice of purifying the houj.es of ihe sick and embalmln the dead by the nil of aro matic and resinous gums, suh as star- ax, myrrh, cedar, organutn, etc. the terrible pestilence never la.

Fermentation will always :orrode the metal and the tin appears black on the inside. The contents of such a can are rank poison. A good housewife will always empty my canned fruit Into some agateware vessel, after she has opened a can, for fermentation is liable to set In once the food has come in contact with air. Itomalnes are the result of germ life and they retain their poisonous quail '.les through any amount of boiling, so that the "re-processing" does not affect their death-dealing properties. There Is a second and equal danger in the "swells" that have been "re-pro-;esaed," and that Is that the muriate of Einc which Is used in soldering them. Muriate of zinc Is one of the most leadly poisons known to science. It is tine dissolved In muriatic acid and is laid on the top of the can by boys with brushes In the canning factories, A very hot Iron is applied to melt the amalgam. Sometimes, through care essness, the acid drops Into the food. Ancient Faith Cure. Here Is a story of witchcraft. The Lord Chief Justice Holt of England, who flourished In the seventeenth cen tury, told It of himself. As a young man, perhaps more sprlnghtly than some, he found himself once in the country without any money. He went, however, boldly to the first roadside Inn and ordered bed and board. By the fire side he saw a girl shivering with ague. "Why let your child suffer?" he said. "I will 'cure her for you In a single night." Thereupon he wrote certain characters on a Blip of paptr, rolled It up In a cloth, and told the girl to wrap that around her neck and go to bed, and In the morning she would be well. This sht did. Faith did the rest, and In the morning she was well. Holt stayed a few days at the Inn, and on his departure boldly asked for his bill. "Sir," said the hostess, "It is I who owe you, not you who owe me." So he de parted. Forty years afterward, being on a circuit, he had to try a woman charged with sorcery and witchcraft. She healed sick persons miraculously, and, therefore, by the help of the devil. Delng questioned, she acknowledgtd that she used a charm which generally worked a cure. "Let me look at It," said the Judge. She handed him a small ciotn roil, within it he found: a paper with certain characters. Then the me mory of the trick came back to him. You were yourself, he said, once cured of an ague by the use of this charm?" She said that was so. Then he turned to the Jury and related the whole story, and dismissed the poor old woman. But as for the charm, the court Impounded It, and the poor witcb lost her power. White Trimmings. One sees an all pink or an all blue lat oftener than an example complete ly of white. This Is contrary to es ;abllshed custom. The white head cov ering without a touch of gayety Is In America ideal feminine warm weather wear for Sunday best We have al lowed Paris so to Influence our head gear that, with the Parisian, our bon nets, the purest of them, must be flashed, at least with color. For pi quancy the French woman sometimes gowns herself In unrelieved white. And It Is not difficult to find hats done en tirely from white, but they are rarely put forward without inquiry. Oftenest, you come upon a chapeau of Thiie atraw or mallne, decorated with soma oft white stuff, and It would seem is if the Intention to make it entim white had been excellent. At the last moment a paradise plume of yellow, a Muster of green leaves, a handful of flowers, Is tucked on somewhere, and the whiteness ceases to be total. White as a trimming for foundations of any 3oior Is In high vogue. And this whether the hat be for dress or common wear. One of the most original methods of ue- Ing white Is In great mallne rosettes, the only trimming of a black maliuo Spanish turban White behind crape, and white chiffon are twisted on outing nats. This probably Is the outcome the wearing of two veils, one for orrifc. ment, on straw sailors. "Dar hain't no queshun In my mind but dat de pore man has got jest as much right to ride around in his ker rldge as de rich one, butwhen It comes to payln' fur de axel greese dat's a dlf- erent matter.

One of the longest lived birds on nt erd died recently in London. It was a parrot named Ducky, the property of the prince of Wales, and was a century and a quarter old. A paroquet lived 52 years in the London Zoo without tasting a drop of water. A number of reptiles live and prosper In places where there is no water. When a chameleon Is blindfolded It loses all power of changing Its color, ind Its entire body remains of a uni form tint. The lantern fly of Surinam, South America, has two sets of eyes, so as to :atch the light from all directions. There are several varieties of fish that cannot swim. In every Instance, they are deep sea dwellers, and crawl about the rocks using their tails and fins as legs. There are three varieties of the dog that never bark the Australian dog, the Egyptian shepherd dog and "lion- headed" dog of Thibet. The elephant has 40,000 muscles his trunk alone, while a man has only 577 In his entire body. It takes a snail exactly fourteen days and five hours to travel a mile. The California woodpecker will carry an acorn thirty miles to store it. The wragon fly can fly backward and sidelong, and can alter Its course on the instant without turning. fTF) BOS Ella Lieutenant Masher seems to be rather attentive to Miss Willing of tate.

It happened last Sunday at the morn ing service In one of Chicago's big churches, but the choir has managed to keep it quiet until now, says the Chi cago News. As the weather was warm the win dows were all open, and Just as the choir rose to sing the anthem, a largo June bug sailed through the window nearest the choir loft and began to buzz around the organist's head. The organ ist skipped a few bars and knocked the beetle Into a corner. The soprano was Just entering upon a difficult ca denza when the June bug rose up and sailed past her bead almost striking her In the face. Immediately her voice leaped to the highest note In Its com pass, and she screamed three distinct screams and then, overcome with con fusion, she sank down Into a chair and covered her face with her hands, while the other voices took up the air and swelled out In a chorus of harmony. Members of the congregation com mented that day on the soprano's won derful voice, but none but the choir knew of the June bug Incident until the contralto let the secret out at a "socia ble" last evening. $IOO Reward, $100.
