The old fashioned idea was that 'tobacco smoke consisted mainly of car• tonic acid and ammonia, but we are now told that it is tirade up of prussic acid, An alkaloid having "a delightful odor, but dangerous to breathe, and as poisonous aa nicotine, sgnce a dose of one -twentieth o1 a grain will destroy animal life, " and o1 aromatic principles "as yet undeter- mined, " but not bad as such principles go, inasmuch as they"are not .poisonous.

One of the mysteries of Mexico is pre- sented by the Maya Indians who inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains in the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes, and light hair, and students of eth• nology have always been puzzled to ac• count for thele. There is a tradition, how• ever, that these Indians are the descendants of the crew and passengers of a Swedish vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast cen- turies before Columbus discovered the new world. But this tradition 1s founded on nothing more substantial than a folklore tale current among them that their an. cestora9 a"Ae owe• .tom Md &A" gqauW haw Geedel 02 T666vw agr,. The Mexicans have never been able to conquer this people. Nominally indeed they are under M /zican rule, but really they are governed by their own chief, and whenever the Mexican government has in- terfered with them they have taken up arms, getting the best of the scrimmage every time. Their nearest Indian neigh• bors are the Yaquts, and these two warlike tribes have reciprocity down to a fine p=int. Each helps the other when the Mexicans attack them. The Mayas live principally by the chase, although they cultivate some corn and garden truck. The men aro large and well formed, and some of the women are remarkably hand• some blonds.—Ohio Stats Journal. NONE SO EXCELLENT "I have been troubled with sick head- ache for over a year.

DOLLY'S GRIT. When young Slick Stuart throw up his government job and left Washington last spring without telling where he was go- ing, everybody naturally concluded that he had "gone to the devil." People are always eagor to say that any •man, Cape- cially If he is young and handsome and hasn't a penny in the world, has gone to the devil. In fact, it is the one way peo- ple have. for accounting for a follow who turns up missing, and then regarding each other in a greedily curious way they in- quire, "Who's the woman?" The fact that a fellow can go "to the devil" withcut the help of some woman never -enters the human mind, although be it noticed that when a man ronchus a high degree of prosperity, when he makes fame and name, people never turn upon one another and ask, I `Who's the woman?" Now, as nobody could prove by which route Jack Stuart had gone, there the matter rested, and if a newspaper reporter bad followed his career where it is now he would throw down his pencil with a "PshawI" or something stronger, adding in tones of disappointment: •'It was a woman, but she didn't send him to the devil. The story's no good." The result would be that the newspapers wouldn't give it a paragraph, whereas, had she caused him to kill her, himself or the oth- er man, we would have had an illustratcd page. The story as it stands has, however, something besides virtue to recommend it, and maybe it is worth the telling even if the several people concerned will not like to see it in print. It began, or at least the winter of its discontent culminated, one evening last March in the cozy little living mom of a groat, impressive house on Dupont circle. Jack Stuart was sitting in one of those corners which invoke flirtation at the be- ginning and more serious intentions after close intimacy. His hands were stuffed deep down in his pockets, and his hand- some brow bore a deep, dismal frown. The girl sitting on the little stool in front of him and resting an elbow familiarly on his kneo looked upon him with tender, anxious sympathy in her eyes. They had evidently been discussing some grave sub- ject; and the youth broke forth after his. moody silence: Hang it all, little girl, I can't much blame your mother for not liking me around." "She wouldn't like you around if you bad cords and cords of money, Jack. You know mamma. She's determined I shall marry a foreign title, and I'm just as de- termined I shan't." The girl closed her pretty lips in a way that showed that she had not bad a father who had plowed through poverty and ob- scurity and dreadful hardships to a for- tune for nothing. That fortune intact he had foolishly left to his foolish widow. She was a "character"—a term which means one of two things, either that a woman has none of any'sort or that she has too much of an objectionable descrip- tion. This particular woman belonged to the latter class. " Well, I tell you, Dolly, I do get low in spirits. You see, my prospects aren't good." Jack took her hand and caressed it, smiling that hopeless, bitter smile that means so little and looks so much on the face of a boy of 23. "The name of Stuart, he went on, "can't carry a chap through life. It can't make him rich or famous. It can't give him the girl he wants, and be's not going to steal her when she's a rich girl—that would look like highway robbery, grand larceny or something of the sort. Of course that's what your mother would say. „ "Oh, mamma"— "And it's what the rest of the v 4rld would say too. Here I have been on agov- ernment salary of less than $100 a month for two years. I came here and found lots of old friends and I went into society. I tell you I'm sick of it. It's a sawdust life, this thing of a fellow taking a room and living on sandwiches at afternoon teas and counting on the dinners he's asked to for his square meals. I wanted to stop, and then I met you and I couldn't, and here I am, worse off than ever. If I go away, I will lose you, If r stay here and try to study a profession, it will take years and years, and L,conldn't ask you to wait for me. " She patted his hand tenderly. "Oh, Jack, " she said, "it would be dreadful for you to go—awful for you to leave me with mamma and the count, Think of itl Why, it would be brutal l" Tears welled In her eyes, "I could be true. I wouldn't forget, and I would be brave, but think of mamma and the count 1" "Yes," said Jack, touching the soft love locks about her forehead, "but think of the hole I'm in. You see, that p1dutation of mine"— "Oh, Jack, do you own a plantation? Why, of course you da ,All southerners have plantations." "Yes, and mine is the worst of the lot, and that's saying a &cat deal. I never told you about it because I got hot. When- ever I think of it I want to fight. I want to fight a woman, and that's ungallant," The scarlet mounted to his brow and his voice waa low and tense with hatred. "Well, T ill tell you,„ he went on "It's a fine Virginia plantation, audit's all I have in the world. It was my moth- er's property, and when she died my father married again—an old maid, his house- keepdr—and when he died my stepmother, being a shrewd woman and as mean as the inlachfef, employed some tricky law - yore, who, got her a widow's dower out of the rent of my mother'a plantation --a widow's dower of $2,000 a year out o1 my mother's property. That's all the income the plantation affords. You wouldn't think I'd stay them and work it, would you?", "I should think not. "It's my property, and every cant of the income goes to that old harpy." "But, dear, she will die some day.” "Diol" with bitter 1noredulity. "Neverl Never i The knotty variety Ot parasites like mistletoe live forever," ''And so you bgve gothing—absplutely nothing—out of what is rightfully yours through your mother? Shameful! Shame- fulI" said the girl, "I'la a big coward to tell you all this, ha went on, "but T felt so down in my luck that I had to talk. Now, I might have made money out of the plantation if I had staid and worked it instead of leav- ing it to the tenants. I might have made $500, perhaps a $1,000, extra for myself out of it, but I couldn't do it, Dolly. I just couldn't stay there and clothe and feed that old woman with my own hands. bhe lives in rho house, and --oh, well"— "Ye.9, dear, I have mamma." "Yes, but your mother is—excuse me, Dolly, but your mother is fat—plump, I mean to say—and portly women must be more endurable than thin ones with claws and beaks.„ "Jaok l" "Yes.„ "I'm thinking of that plantation. • I'm so glad you've got it. " "\Veil, I'm not," "Oh, but you will be. You see I didn't know you had property, and that was mak- ing it hard for me. I thought of that i col- lection of old family miniatures of yours you showed me, and I thought that might do11. "Do? Do for what?" he ejaculated. "Never mind. It really wouldn't any- way. What I want you to give me now is a mortgage --a genuine mortgage for a6,- 000 on that Virginia property." "What?" "How much is the property worth?" "Oh, perhaps $15,000 I should say. But what on earth"— "Well, it's just this," said the girl ex- citedly. "I am to give you $6,000. It is the income I have saved from some proper- ty left me. I am to give you $6',000, and you are to borrow it from me by fixing up a mortgage on your plantation for that amount. Aly lawyer will attend to it in regular form. Papa didn't leave me his business head for nothing, Jack, dear." "And what am I to do with the money?" asked the youth aghast. "Now, I've been thinking out all that for months. I thought it out when I was dancing, and I had long, restful, delicious thinks over it while men were twaddling thelr nonsense at me, Papa made bis pile mining, you know, and what have you studied mining and engineering for if you can't make yours that way too? You re- member talking tome about gold possibil- ities in Alaska? Well, I want you to take this money and try your luck there. And —ob;" Jack, don't be so rude and don't kiss me while I'm talking, and don't look at me as if you'd cry with feeling if you weren't 6 feet in your stockings—your socks, I mean. You are to go to Alaska and make a fortune—a great, big fortune, Jack, big enough to make mamma quail before you and to convert the count into a poor little, black, trickling grease spot at your mighty feet." Dolly Radnor was a little body, and she was almost breathless and decidedly tum- bled and out of order when she emerged from his enthusiastic recognition of her devotion. The big fellow stood up and held her at arm's length and looked at her --oh, I can't begin to tell you how he looked at her—and then he gathered her up in his arias again, and presently they both sat down and he said, "Oh, Dolly," in a voice hushed with tender emotion, "Oh, Dolly, I can't accept." And then she put her littIy; ,soft, white hand across his lips and said in the deci- sive way belonging to small women: "You are accepting nothing. I tun making you a loan, air. If a girl can't help a chap she loves before she gots him, she shouldn't ever have the right to do it afterward, that's all. And—well, if you don't let me, I'll—I'll marry the count or that beastly old offioer with the wooden leg or a Chi- nese attache or something like a jack in the box from Koroa. " They both laughed, and there was much personal talk and argument and many caresses that need not be recorded here. j Suffice it to say that two weeks after this conversation Jack Stuart throw up his job and went to Alaska instead of to the devil, as everybody thought, his companions during his stay there being not the devil's servanta—women, wine, cigarettes and oar-ds—but instead a miniature of a very beautiful girl smiling from a frame of tur- quoise, a face all Washington society would recognize, and to keep its memory right in the heart of its ownor there were letters— long, delicious, crossed and recrossed let - tors --scented with violets and ornamented with a modest monogram. Dolly Radnor did not use her mother's crest. The last one of these letters was a bit curt and impatient. It read: Dr.AnsT JAorc-Yon have got gold enough to startle even Mark Hanna with, much less mamma and the count. Mrs. Betty Green would -I started to say would be green with envy. I am miserable and you must come home. I can't stand them any longer. Mam- ma's bad -grammar increases with her anger, and the count's broken English and oriental perfume become more unendurable as his love intonsifles. I'm getting low and vulgar. You would not know me. I've tried everything to cure the count. I frequently come down when he calla me with my hair Hone up in curling kids and I chew gum in bis presence oonstant- ly. Nothing seems to work with him, though. He is "one grande loafer" out here at our country place. He counts all my eccentricities as "ze caprice of one petite fllle--eharmnnte- gontile"-all the French epithets of approval. Come home or I will run away with him just for the pleasure of murdering him neatly on our wedding Journey. Your own for eternity, DOLLY. She didn't add that she was wearing all of her last summer's frocks; that she hadn't a new gown or a new bat to her name; that everything had been cut off from the first of the year—at least all the spending money her mother gave her—on account of her disobedience about the count. And, as for her own income, she had taken the whole f that fora year ear in ad- vance to lend to a certain y3ung fellow who had recently dug a fortune out of an Alaska goldflelc'L This young fellow has no idea of how mean even a fat mother can be when she is stupid and vain and ambitious, nor will be ever know from Dolly's lips the extent of her sacrifice, so I am determined he shall read it here. He came home ton days ago, and there waa the happiest girl in the world to greet him in a certain big country house near Washington. The count was not -happy, and Mrs. Radnor Ism yet barely reconciled to the situation, for she felt that he had enough money for the count as well as for the girl who mop be named as one woman who did not send a missing man to the devil.—Atlanta Constitution.
