AUSTRIANS USERS OF ARSENIC !
Mountain Folk Mike Use of Deadly ]
Poison for Dtflnito Purpose—
Alto F»d to Horsss.
Inhabitants of Austria, In the
mountains adjoining Hungary, are In
the habit of eating arsenic. The effect
of the poison, when taken In moderate
quantities, is to give a freshness to the
complexion, and afterward to impart
a certain degree of embonpoint. An
other advantage which the eaters de
rive from the use of the poison Is to
have their respiration facilitated In
ascending the mountain. They place
a little piece of arsenic In their mouth,
and they ascend the greatest heights
with ease.
Grooms and coachmen at Vienna
give arsenic to their horses. They I
sometimes throw a pinch of It among
the oats, and sometimes tie up a small
bit of It In » linen rag, which they
attach to the btt when the horse Is
harnessed. The effect on the horses
Is to put them in high condition, with
the skin smooth and shining, and to
increase their spirits.
The carters In the mountainous coun
tries of Austria are also In the habit
of giviug arsenic to their horses when
about to ascmd a steep road, with the
result that the ascent Is made much
easier for the animals.
Artist Vision.
It Is 19 though u man vrere shown
a crystal. a perfect thing, gleaming
below depths of water, far down b«
yond reach. He would dive and dive
again, driven by his great desire to
secure It, until finally, all dripping,
be brought It up. But that Id the end
he could bring It, a perfect thing, to
ua, was possible solely becausa he
bad first sean It gloaming there.
Others might dtve and dive, might
work and labor with endless patience
and endless pains, hut unless they had
first seen the crystal—unless the)
bad been given this divine gift of
seeing—this vision—thay would come
up empty-handed.
The occasional so-called genius doei
not make the crystAl but be alone sees
It where It lies gleaming below depthl
of water, and by bis effort brings It to
us.—Abbott Handerson Thayer.
Thla Smoksr Navar Sick.
All pipe smokers know the deslr- j
ability of a tobacco mixture the smoke
of wblch will not bite the tongue or
be too hot In the mouth. Mixtures of
this kind are what manufacturers are
always seeking.
In London (Eng.) an apparatus has
been put Into use for the testing of
amoklng tobacco for these qualities,
obviating the usual method of per
sonal trial by an expert. It looks like
a telephone box, fastened on a wall.
Including the wiring- A pipe Is loaded
with tobacco and the stem Inserted In
a rubber-encircled hole In the box. A
switch Is turned, the tobacco la lit,
and the electric machine In the box
smokes the pipeful at any rate of
speeil required, making a record of
the temperature and nicotine content
