ATE POISONED CAKES. Story of John Van Arumn'u Darin* Font Roca! led. < A sensational Incident in a New fork courtroom, which was told in a ( llspatch the other day, recalls the , rary remarkable career of John Van Arman, for nearly twenty years the most noted criminal lawyer in Chicago. The Incident referred to was the iwallowingot the contents of a bottle jf chloral by Ambrose IL Purdy, a lawyer who was defending a client, Thomas F. Brocken, who was accused of poisoning Frank J. Sullivan by means of chloral and robbing him. Purdy’s theatrical effort was fruitless. His client was convicted, and the lawyer, after having been summarily pumped through the Joint labors ot three or four doctors, had nothing for his nalns except a little aheap and second-hand notoriety. la talking over hisexperience after the adjournment of court, Lawyer Purdy said that he had followed the example of an Illinois attorney named “McSweeney,” who some years ago took poison in court, assisted his illcnt to acquittal and afterward sejured Immunity from the effects of the poison through medical assistance. Mr. Purdy’s recollection of the famous incident spoken of is a tissue of errors. John Van Arman was the hero of the story, and the incident snd the man were described by a prominent lawyer as follows: About forty years ago, or possibly It may have occurred longer ago, a woman was indicted In one of the northern counties of Michigan for the murder of her husband by poisoning. Into the county had lately come to practice his profession a young Lawyer named John Van Arman. He was retained for the defense ot the woman, whose trial was set to occur some months afterward. Van Arman st once began a thorough study ot poisons, their symptoms and effects, consulting for this purpose the libraries in the State University at Ann Arbor and in Detroit, so that when the trial began the lawyer was an expert on the questions involved. Tbe testimony for the prosecution showed that the defendant had ‘prepared certain sweet cakes, some of which were eaten by her husband, who a few hours laterdied. It showed how many of these cakes had been eaten by the deceased. Learned experts in chemistry analyzed the remaining cakes which had been found in the defendant’s kitchen, and testified to tbe presence therein of poison —strychnine, I think. Tbe question arose at- to whether the-strychnine in the food which he had eaten was sufficient to cause the man’s death. Much testimony on this point was presented on both rides. Following tbe prosecuting officer’s first argument after the testimony was concluded, Mr. Van Arman addressed the jury. As be was concluding his argument be hastily seized a number of cakes which were lying on a table and ridiculing tbe statements of the experts that the poison in tbe food I had caused tbe death of the deceased, he emphasized his ridicule by instantly swallowing the cakes. It Is not true, as the story has frequently been told, that Mr. Van Arma® then left the court-room and took an antidote. He remained until the conclusion of the case, wfeen the inrtr refawhad acquittal. The success of this case gave John Van Arman recognition throughout the State and was the beginning of one of the most unique and remarkable professional careers In the West Readers of the Chicago papers need i hardly be reminded of John Van , Arman. His connection with tbe j great conspiracy trial, involving as defendants many prominent citizens of Michigan, who were charged with a conspiracy to destroy the property ! of the Michigan Central Railway, is not forgotten. In that case his principal opponent was William H. Seward. His connection with the, famous Burch divorce case is remembered, as well as his defense of Jumpertz for murdering his mistress, of Hopps for the murder of his wife, and, In connection with Mr. Hardy, his defense of McKeague for the Wilson murder. Colonel Van Arman for nearly twenty years was the leading criminal lawyer of Chicago, a man of great resources, of bright intellect, of courage, and of most persuasive eloquence. He died in California in 1890. _ Phil Armour. Phil D. Armour is a short-set, broad-built, prosperous-looking man, with a ruddy, open face and dark i side whiskers. He is severely self-) made. Six and forty years ago he drove a mule team across the plains of California and invested what little capital he had in the grain business in Milwaukee. Then he bcught an interest in 3 pork-packing establishment, and to-day his fortune is estimated at something like $5X1,000,000. He now, perhaps is the most conspicuous of all Chicago’s multi-mil-lionaires. and is as modest as the proverbial schoolboy ever was and is one of the plainest and most quietgoing of men both as to manner and mode of life. Os late ill-health has obliged him to restrict his diet to bread and milk. This would be a sad affliction to some rich men, btlt Mr. Armour has never cultivated his palate to an appreciation of ortolans and truffles, and he likes a baked apple for breakfast as much as Beecher or Jay Gould used to. His recent gift of $1,500,000 to the University of Chicago brought him into prominence as a practical philanthropist. “He is the hardest man to go against in a grain or provision deal that I know of, ” said a friend of his recently, “but in ap emergency where ‘money talks,’ he will cough up a cool million as indifferently as another man would order a chop in a restaurant” Withal he is at his desk daily, summer and winter alike, before the clock strikes 7, and he habitually wears a red rose n his buttonhole.—-Waterways Journal ■ ■ ' " , ' Stopping Rain by Explosions. It is singular, in these days when explosions in air are thought to bring rain, that no one has spoken of a sixte nth century experiment to stop rain by the ue of gunpowder. Benvenuti Cellini tells us in his memoirs that when Margaret of Austria entered Rome it rained heavily. “I

pointed several large pieces of artillery In the direction where the clouds were thickest, and whence a deluge of water was already punring; then, when I began to tire the rain stopped, and at the fourth discharge the sun shone out’’—Boston Journal. Cannibal Cricket*. In an assemblage of many crickets kept for certain observations In a rearing drawer or box (eaja de hcrburizaclon) the. numbers diminished from day to day; at least only one—not a little fattened —remained by the side of the remains of his former companions. Hitherto cannibalism among the crickets has been’ noticed only among the captives, but 1 am now enabled to state that under certain conditions cannibilism is present among some ortboptera in the free state, at all events among the locusts, says a writer in Natural Science. In the summer of 1883, in which the excess)\e heat and drouth had brought about the nearly entire disappearance of vegetation in a good part of the country, and more particularly in the broken country of the Banda Oriental, I had occasion ts make a journey from San Jose to Mercedes. At one place, La Pledras, at which the dilligence stopped, I noticed great numbers of the locusts of the species Pezotettix vittiger. Pezotettix maculipennis and Pezotettit arrogans, which cohered the ground and rocks. My attention was attracted by the fact of seeing around one locust a number of other individuals of the same species, which were eating its soft parts even while it was yet alive and protesting vigorously. I saw different attacks, in which the conquerors, two or three at atifiie.eot hold of the weaker members of their own kind, throwing them over and opening the abdomen in order to devour the entrails, these being the softer and more savory portions, since they still contained some of the vegetable food. Cannibalism here appeared in its lowest development,and the numerous remains of those which had .-been eaten bare witness to the extent to which the process had been carried. In the face of facts of this character it seems certain that nothing is sacred to nature when the prolongation of life for the sake ot the preservation of the species is concerned. Experiments with the Comma Bacillus. Much gratitude is owing to the six doctors of the institute of Experimental Pathology in Vienna who have been trying risky experiments upon themselves with the comma bacillus in the interest of science. It is satisfactory, however, to know that, although each person swallowed a large number of the bacilli contained in fluids, in no case did Asiatic cholera ensue. Dr. Hasterlik and his assistant remained in their normal condition; Dr. Stockmayer suffered from headache, slight fever and insomnia; Herren Schuetz and Graf, two medi■cal students, bad slight purging; and Herr Rose, a gentleman of a somewhat weak constitution, also volunteered,’ suffered from nausea and vomiting, but was perfectly well again within a week. The conclusion drawn by Prof. Stricker, who directed the experiments, is that in comma baclhu^causesvanmiflymp-’ toms of illness, but not necessarily cholera. A Relic of Old London. ■One of the most interesting relics of Old London, is St John’s Gate, ; Clerkenwell, which, because it does [ not happen to lie in one of the main arteries of the big city, is not so well known, even to Londoners, as it should be. It is the only remaining .' portion of the important Priory of j St. John, which dates from the fourteenth century. The old gateway has a literary interest attached to it, for in the room above the archway Dr. Johnson worked for Cave the printer for a small weekly stipend; and the Gentleman’s Magazine, which to this day bears a picture of the archway on its cover, was first printed here. The archway had latterly become much defaced and weatherworn, but it has recently been restored as a memorial to the Duke of Clarence, who was first sub-prior of the Order of St. John. The order as now revived embraces the St. John Ambulance Association, and is busy in other good works Tact. To be able to say the right thing at the right moment is a great art, I and said only to be acquired by those I who have a natural talent that way. , When a careless talker, who was criticising a young lady’s father severely, paused a moment to say, “I hope he is no relation of yours, Missß,"quick as thought she replied, with the utmost nonchalance: “Only a connection of -my mother’s by marriage.” Few could hope to show such a readiness of speech in a dilemma of this kind. Yet in a more curious and amusing way this was matched by a cautious old woman, who, when asked what she thought of one of her neighbors by the name of Jones, with a knowing look replied, “Why, I don’t like to Say anything about my neighbors; but as to Mr. Jones, sometimes I think, and then again I don’t know; but, after all, I rather guess he’ll turn out to be a good deal such a sort of a man hs I take him to be.” A Little Lesson in Physics. A wet sponge can be thrown into the air higher than a dry one for just the same reason that a stone can be thrown into the air higher than a feather of the same circumference, because the specific gravity of the wet sponge and stone is greater than a dry sponge and feather, and they can therefore meet the air with more power of resistance. It is exactly for this same reason that the wet sponge returns to the earth more quickly than the dry one. and the stone than the feather. The specific gravity ot water, or its weight in proportion te size, is as nearly as possible 834 times as great as that of air. A dry sponge is full of air, and a sponge full ot water is about 834 times as heavy and can strike the air with greater force than a dry one somewhat in this proportion. The dry sponge is tor the same reason more liable to be blown about and diverted from ite upward course by the wind. ,

A Wurnliit. Everybody, or at any rate almost everybody, has been saying that the diabolical practice would lead to mischief, and no w it has. You can’t throw rice, shoes, and other groceries and habiliments at young married persons, year after year, without doing damage. In East New York, which is really a part of Brooklyn, a wedding took place the otffor night. The husband and tbe wife came down the stairs amid the customary shower, and bolted for the Carriage. At this moment the . bridegroom's brother rushed into the street, pulled a big revolver, and fired it cheerfully but recklessly in every direction. “Some of the wedding guests,” says tbe chronicler, “had an enjoyable time dodging flying lead.” Among those to whom tho wedding guest afforded amusement and exercise was a policeman, who, as soon as tho revolver was emptied, arrested tho convivial gentleman and put him in jail. It is thus plain to be seen that riee-throw-ing loads to the most deplorable consequences. —Buffalo Courier. Storing Implement!. The sheltering of farm implements is not the only thing required to keep them in good repair, but they must be put away in good condition. For example, a plow stored coated with mud will rust and rot though under a tight roof, and such a coating is much more harmful to delicate machinery. Bright steel surfaces may lie clean and yet rust unless protected by a coat of coal oil or beef tallow. , The tallow must be applied warm, as a liquid. Brown mineral paint is very cheap, is easily mixed with boiled linseed oil, and applied to the old wooden parts of the machines, where the paint has worn off, will prevent decay. Have two brushes, one flat and wide for large surfaces, the other small and round for covering narrow surfaces and getting into corners. Always put the edged tools away sharp, and have all necessary reoairs on the machinery done this fall, so all will be in readiness to begin work at the first opportunity.—Farm, Stock, and Home. A Family Laxative. Physicians are not inclined to recommend se'lf-medieation to the laity. Yet there is one need, says the American Analyst, which they are almost unable to supply. We refer to the “family laxative.” The family physician is able to prescribe for the most complicated and obscure of maladies and yet is often puzzled to know just what to give when asked for a remedy which can be kept in tbe house for family use as a laxative, that shall be effective, free from danger, andjnot unpleasantto take. When absent,on our summer vacation we were asked by four different parties, representing as many families, what we thought of the “Syrup of Figs.” Not one word, did we volunteer on the subject, and we were somewhat surprised to find that there was this small token of the very general use of that preparation. These parties said they derived more benefit from it and found it more pleasant to take than anything of the kind they had ever used. The simple question with them was, is it a dangerous compound? We informed them that its active ingredient was a preparation of senna, and that it was entirely free from danger. With this assurance they voluteered the information that they should continue to keep it in the house. The therapeutical properties of senna are so well Known that comment [on this seems unnecessary. It might be well to notice, however, that Bartholow says it is “a very safe and serviceable cathartic,” and that it is “highly prized as a remedy for constipation.” He also makes the important observa- . tion that its use “is not followed by in- > testlnalTorporConstipation.” The simple trnth of the matter is, we have altogether too few preparations which we can recommend to our families as effective laxatives. But the California Fig Syrup Company has 1 one of the most desirable combinations for this purpose with which we are i famyiar. The Fig Syrup Company gives to the profession the composition of this preparation, therefore there is no secret about it; the persons who use ' this laxative speak in the highest terms , about it; and we are pleased to notice that a large number of physicians are preset bing it. Viewed from the narrowest and most selfish standpoint the physician will lose nothing by recommending such a ; preparation as Syrup of Figs to Pis patients; while viewed from the highest standpoint of doing the t>est possible by those who place themselves in our care, we would say the profession cannotjie better than give their indoreeu/mt to such a preparation.

Accomplishments of a Montana GirL Paul Van Clove, a member of tbe Montana Legislature, owns a big sheep ranch in that State. His daughter Helen, aged 14 years, is his constant companion in his rides about the ranch and is reputed to be one of the most accomplished riders in that part of the country. She is a picturesque figure on horseback, as she dresses somewhat after the cowboy sty.e, wearing trousers, colored shirt, and broad sombrero, and rides in the true cowboy fashion, often bareback. She is also a good shot with the rifle. Although living in an isolated spot, Mr. Van Cleve has had his children carefully educated and his home is one of refinement, being in fact, a favorite social gathering place for ranch-owners for miles around.—lllinois State Register.

Superintendent—ls 1 want to raise a crop of tomatoes, what kind of seed must I sow? Children—Tomato seed. Superintendent—Very good. Now, if you want to raise a crop of gooa . manhood, what kind of seed must you sow?” And an observer who kept tally re- ; ported that the school on test vote was , a tie between turnip seed and tomato . seed.—Buffalo Times. < What Women Ought to A philosopher says: “There are ' three things which a good woman ' ought to resemble in one particular, i but not in another.

Why Cowi Give Down Milk. To make a cow milk easily sfyo should be kept as contented as possible. If worried, there is sure to lx> some tension of the muscle which retains the milk, and this holds it up. Usually a feed tUbt the cow likes will remove the worry, and the holding up muscle will be relaxed. It has often had this effect upon cows that were worrying about the removal of their calves. A cow’s maternal affection is active, but her memory is not so strong as to make her think of her calf while she is eating. If the milker is careful, it is quite possible that the cow may for the time think her calf is sucking, and so give her milk more readily than she otherwise would. We have seen cows that after milking was over would look around and show their disappointment plainly in not seeing their calves, as they evidently expected. —American Cultivator. < •100 Reward.
