A Star man happened to meet a man who had served a term or two or three in various penitentiaries, hadn’t served several he should have served and is likely to serve more before he is through with himself. Of course that kind of a man was interesting, and after a time, when ho got to talking under tho mel lowing influence of things made for the purpose, he was more interesting. “When I was 16 yoars younger than | I am now,” ho said, “I was out in the j mountains of tho west on a government reservation, whero I could muko money by selling whisky uudor post pricos. I was always on the make, and sol smug gled In a dozen or more gallons and had them hid in a eavo ten miles or so out of reach. Tho cave was a kind of a two story affair, the upper story being my secret, and there I had my jugs of liq uor hid away, and from there I carried it out in smuller quantities for distri bution. Tho lower purt of the cave was 20 feet below tho upper chamber, and in this part was a basin of water, which had dripped from the upper part. It did not contain more than a gallon of water. I know it was easily exhausted, for I spent many a night there, and found there wasn’t water enough to boil a kut tie with. “Well, about tho time I got in my second installment of fire juice the In dians got bad and began creeping in toward tho settlements. I thought my cuve was unknown to tho Indians us well as the whites, but it appears that n.,<1 Min ■nAOliinfS T I . i ■ I 0 la (• r l time to slip out of my down stuirs room and get up in the loft before 10 or 12 of the bloodiest looking braves you ever saw squatted in front of my residence and begun holding a council of war. In half an hour or more ullof them except one went away, and ho remained to keep watch. “At noon three returned with five whito prisoners, and at 6 o'clock the rest of them came in with a girl about 4 years old. Just what they were going to do wus not apparent, and it wasn’t easy for me to find out, becauso when I camo down to a point where I could see I was iu danger of getting oauRbt my self. I did seo enough, though, to show mo that the five white prisoners, who wero all old men, hadn’t much chance for their lives, but that the child would be carried away. To save myself had been my first thought, and now to save these poor wretches was first. “While I was debating what to do or give it up as a bad job oue of the In dians went to the spring and got some water. That was my cue. In a minute more I was back up in my chamber, just over tho headwaters of the spring, and, having turned the drip into anothor channel, I started a stream of that kill at 40 rod whisky down the shoot and then slipped back to watch the proceedings. They were discussing when to kill the prisoners—I knew enough Indian to know that And when it was about de termined to hold them over a day and see if they couldn’t piok np a few moro and have a real big time, another of them wont over to the spring for water. This time it wasn’t so much water as it bad been. Whatever it was made tho ugly redskin give a big ‘Ugh 1’ of delight, and tho others went over to him. Well, it isn’t necessary for me to go into par ticulars. “Anybody, even a reporter, knows what becomes of an Indian or a dozen of them when there are unlimited quan tities of firewater at tbeir disposal, and as soon as I saw how the thing was go ing I hurried back and set another jug to work. I was a little afraid they might get ugly drunk und kill their prisoners, but evidently they hadn’t had muoh to eat that day, and the liquor was getting in its work on empty stomachs. What ever was tho count), before I had any idea that it was time for it tho whole of them was full, and in a few minutes more they were lying around the little basin of tho spring so drunk they could not move hand or foot. “Then it was my time to play, and I corked up tho liquor upstairs for anoth er day and went down stairs. There wasn't much time for thunks, because we didn’t know when the enemy might make it unpleasant for us. 1 told the prisoners to take earo of the Indians while I took care of the little girl, which I did by taking her outside of tho cave, where she could breathe tho free air of heaven once more. You see, 1 kind of thought they might like to attend to things themselves, “ lie added upohget Ically and stopp'd.

Use a gallons eaeli of einrut, sherry and brandy. Original recipe in posse,-.dan of M. P. Phillips, steward Hoboken Turtle club. —Now York Herald. POISONOUS POTATOES. An Alkaloid Called Holanlne Does Great Damage Sometime*. It is not very rare to Bee sorious ac cidents happen by poisoning from the nse of potatoes in places where food is supplied by contract, as in schools, pris ons and barracks, and astonishment is expressed that this procious and highly estimated food stulf should be capable of doing so much damage. It is well to know that the potato, even when abso lutely sound, contains a certain amount of a vegetable alkaloid called solanine. Tbe remarkable point is that this sol anine is u.uch more abundant in sum mer than in winter; whereas it amounts to .044 per kilogram from November to February, it reaches the figure of. 236 in July and August. This evil would not be very great if the production of the alkaloid were not still further in creased by the process of germination and putrefaction of the potato. Tbe use of potatoes deteriorated in this way may give riso to cases of poisoning character ized by vomiting, diarrhea, fever, di lated pupils, convulsions and profuse sweating. It is usually in the months of June and July that these accidents occur, at the moment when tho potatoes of the preceding year have begun to germinate and rot. The contractors of tbe above mentioned establishments send these po tatoes there, since they have no longer auy marketable value, because the new potatoes ure already largo and reduced in prico. It is therefore necessary to watch these supplies in a most careful manner and to refuse potatoes that show any bluck or softened spots or that have be gun to germinate. As a general thing potatoes used in eating should be as fresh as possible.—Paris Herald. oAptiii auu AUHiraim. An Australian gentleman, Mr. And ley Cooto, sends to the Melbourne Ar gus uu account of a recent visit to Ja pan, in which he says: ‘‘I was traveling with a friend of mine who speaks Jap anese fluently when he asked me if I could guess wliut a number of Japanese military and naval officers who were in the car were conversing about. ‘It is Australia, ’ ho continued, ‘and they aro saying that yon have a large country, flue pastoral lands, great forests, and in the north excellent land for tho cul tivation of rice, coffee, tea uud other tropical products; that you are liko the dog in the manger among nations, and that some esue will have to tako a good part of Australia to develop it,’ My , friend also told mo that the officer* ■poke about it being a great pity to set'' •o flue a country lying waatrs and though they recoguiaed that l.iiglaud WM a useful nation to have as au ally, •till, it ill feeling area*, the policy they ought to pursue was to semi several of their battleships doeeu south to annex a large portion of north Australia.
