Some Famous Criminals of Iiastory Who Matte Use of Arsenio. Arsenic as a means of procuring the death, of one's enemies has a long history. eIn the fourteenth century it was a. favorite instru- ment of the professional poisoner. Charles the Wicked recommended it to one of his agents. "Go thou to Paris." he directed: "do what I tell thee and I will re- ward thee well, There is a thing which is called sublimed arsenic. If a man eat a bit the size of a pea he will never survive. "Take it and powder it, and then thou shall be in the house of the King, of the 'Count de Valois his brother, the Dukes of Berry, Bur- gundy .and Bourbon, draw near and betake thyself to the kitchen, to the larder, to the cellar, or any other place where thy point can be best gained, and put the powder in the soups, meats or wines, provided thou canst do it secretly; otherwise do. it not." from the moral chaos of the fif- teenth and sixteenth centuries in to have -the place run a..s .a manner -Venice and in other parts of Italy, hotel for at least floe years and to when even the State itself some- times approved of secret assassina- -tion by poison.

The Simmenfiuh, arnountain near Spiez, in Switzerland, was set en fire by lightning on August 20, and has been burning ever since. This flaming mountain, or rather range, presents so extraordinary an ap- pearance that people come from all the country round to see it. In the daytime the mountain is enveloped in smoke, while the vale ley on one side of it, the Simmental, is overhung with a thick pall. At night the mountain looks just as Vesuvius does in full eruption. Avalanches of fire can be seen at tinges swiftly descending the coul- oirs, while huge fiery boulders frequently rattle down, of course setting something fresh alight wherever they settle. One thing which has fed the flames extraordin- arily is a thick bed, in some places THE PRINCES OF COMMERCE GREAT UHAN GE - TARING PLACE IN ENGLAND. The new Nobility are now Buying Up Historic Estates of Peers. The coming of the new nobility, the "captains of industry," who have recently been ennobled as the reward of their commercial pre- eminence, has necessarily meant a new order in the old -established rules and customs that have for centuries guided the feudal people of old England, • says the London Express. In every county and in almost every district during the last few years broad •acres held for generations by ancient families have been purchased by princes of cora.- merce, who have in some instances taken their new titles from the his- toric home they have acquired, These transfers of land ownership and the application of the business mind to hereditary estates have fallen into the 'hands of men who are able and willing to expend money lavishly on works of adapta- tion and alteration, which must be of great benefit to thousands of vil- lage dependents. CHANGES MEAN MUCH. In countless little villages scat- tered up and down the country these changes mean much more than the city dweller, with his mod- ern ideas, can appreciate. The aristocrats of the land have realiz- ed their duty to the villagers about them, and the villagers as one man have been loyal to their patrons. Each side has had its well-estab- lished responsibilities and » privi- leges.

'Children 'Being Brought 1'p Total' Abstainers. The fact that both the late king and King George had given per- mission for the loyal toasts to be drunk in non-alcoholic beverages was referred to at at the Rechabite conference at Southport, England, by the high chief ruler, J. Philip- son, of„Aewcastle, WfidD,i >. in Australia recently, he said, he had an interview with Ad- - nairal Ring Hale, an enthusiastic temperance :advocate, who stated it was hee who was instrumental. in ' getting King Edward to make public his consent to the loyal toasts being drunk in water, and in. getting Ring George to extend the permission to aubiects overseas. Mr. Philipson added it was fair- ly well known that Queen Mary was partial to 'total abstinence principles, • and while in Australia he met a gentleman who bad sailed with the present king, .and was still in touch with the royal family, and this gentleman told him that all the king's children. were being, .brought up as strict abstainers LIKE F.ATHER., LIKE SON, • "I won'tnaav another peter- n veer debts for vou, you ellear;nee.
