A recent newspaper article said were shut off the air in orderphysician called Jto two stop when was learnedcurious facts or rather facts that lone miner was working deepabdut poison First thatit is so sel- - the mine beyond thedom resorted to by murderers and e started and then raging with
growing strength Here is storynnA fw it i nimnRt inrnrinof be eventssubsequentbly bydetection One might

It Is undeniably true that there arecertain drugs which if administeredwith skilL would be almost impossibleto detect Their symptoms are practlcally Identical with those of familiardiseases and a little while after deaththey decompose change form and dis¬
appearIt would be possible too to innocn
late a victim with the germs somedeadly malady He would then go tohis grave with a real case of consump-tion
¬
or pneumonia or loci jaw andthere would be nothing to arouse theshadow suspicion I believe firmlythat such are committed andnever discovered but- - I believe alsothat they are very rare The real safe ¬
guard of a community lies in the factthat so few murderers possess the req-
uisite¬
skillEducated people seldom commit de¬
liberate murder continued the doctorand the uneducated mind instinctive-
ly
¬
associates poison with two sub-
stances¬
arsenic and strychnine Theyare the deadly drugs most familiar tothe public and fortunately they areeasily detected Murder by arsenic Isinfinitely cliimsy To begin with thesymptoms are marked and peculiar

mimn In the body an Indefinite timeliast summer a woman in Barce- -
loua Spain confessed that she hadpoisoned her sister with arsenic 10
years before The grave was openedand the cofiin round to contain nothingbut dust ami ashes but a chemical testshowed unmistakably the presence ofthe drug
Mrs Maybriok was accused of killIns her husband with arsenic and thetest revealed 1t plainly not only In theremains but in certain medicines TJbedemonstration was so conclusive thatshe finally arose in court and admitted
-- giving him a white powder but insist-ed
¬
that she followed his own expressdirections
6ne f the most Ingiious cases ofpoisoning I ever henrd of occurredsome years ago in another state Ayoung physician plotted to kill awealthy farmer He knew the latterwas taking quinine for a cold andmeeting him one day asked to seewhat size capsules he used Whilepretending to examine them he slip-ped
¬
in one containing strychnine Thefariner happened on it nearly a weeklater and died in convulsions An au-topsy
¬
revealed the poison but the af¬
fair was a deep mystery until the doc-
tor¬
committed suicide leaving a writ-ten
¬
confessionThe poisonings that occur in novels
and on the stage are usually veryamusing to a student of toxicologysaid the physician in conclusion 1
remember in Saral of Posen whichwas produced with such success by MB the drummer hero was tem-porarily
¬
knocked out by a poisoned ci-
gar¬
He took two or three whiffs andoyer he rolled I would like very muchto know the name of the drug thatwould produce that sort of effect
t Nearly all the poisoning in fiction Is
v English In which theft heroine inhales the fragrance of a
bunch of roses and Instantly falls deadNeedless to say the poisoned perfumeis wholly unknown to science
Another story But I could keepon citing instances all night History
w isnt much better Most of the yarnsof the Borgias and Medicis are pure
a moonshine especially those aboutpoim soned gloves poisoned tapers and oth
er uiijmcuuuiis ui ui ugs or luiugs uiitit are touched or handled
The tale of the book which wasanointed on the margins with somedeadly substance that killed the per¬
son who moistened his fingers to turnthe leaves has possibly a foundation intruth but I confess I would be puz ¬
zled to know how to prepare suchvolume Almost anything that mightbe used would instantly betray Itselfby Its taste

WASHINGTONS LAST YEARS
His Happy Life With His Wife atMonnt Vernon
At the time of his retirement toMount Vernon after the expiration ofhis term as president the tall figureof Washington was only slightly bentand he was still supposed to weigh up-
ward¬
of 200 pounds writes WilliamPerrine of The Last Years of Wash-ingtons
¬
Life In The Ladies HomeJournal
Excepting his -- gray hair and hisfalse teeth and seme trouble in hear-ing
¬
there was little of the usual ap-pearance
¬
of age in his muscular per-son
¬
his gait and his strong pock-marked
¬
face He was affable andmerry with his best friends but whilehe had the true hospitality of a south-ern
¬
gentleman in inviting- - every- - vis¬
itor from a distance to his table or to abed over night his politeness was gen-erally
¬
formal Yet if he particularlyenjoyed the conversation of a guest hewould pay him the compliment of lis-
tening¬
to bim until after 9 oclock oreven of lighting him with the candle toa bedroom for the night
Mrs Washington at this time was ahealthy pleasant and unostentatiouslittle woman still showing traces ofgood looks and with seldom an otherthought than of playing respectablyher role of mistress of the house of acountry gentleman of caring for thejnegroes or of amusing hersself with herknitting She had great pride In herrecipe for making cherry bounceand on a midsummer day she cut out32 pairs of breeches for the men work¬
ing on the farm She had saad thatshe and the general felt like childrenjust released from school when he leftthe presidency and she told of hersatisfaction in settling down again tothe duties of an old fashioned- - Vir-
ginia¬
housekeeper steady as a clockbusy as a bee and cheerful as a crick-et

The BuccaneersThe original boucaniers were a
wild and picturesque gang To thewaist they were generally clothed ina sunburned and weather beaten skinand they wore pantaloons of a coarselinen dyed and stiffened with the bloodof bulls and pigs and held up bya beltof rawhide stuck full of deadly knivesTheir apparel terminated with pigskinboots and no stockings and they car¬
ried a long barreled I firelock loadedwith ounce balls of tead
They were animated with a commonhatred of the Spaniard which in theireyes justified any attack upon his per-son
¬
or property and by a wild sort ofattachment to each other in their peril-ous
¬
lives which led to their beingknown as the Brethren of the Coast
- When the Spaniards drove them intothe career of maraiaders upon thesea the word buccal ieer took a newmeaning though ther were also knownas freebooters This was a mongrelEnglish word button being Dutchand bueten Germn for plunder Ofthis word the French made fribuster with the s sllentj and then soften-ed-- It
to fibbristler which the Span ¬
iards modified into-- ftlibustero So wefinally got the woifd back with a newmeaning and a srieciil application asfilibuster The West Indies by
