THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. SNOW EATING MANIA. A PECULIAR HAOIT THAT DEVELOPS IN THE KLONDIKE. Tfc Appetite, 'When Once Aocinlred, ta Extremely IHtllcnlr In Control, and to IikIiiIuc It Henna a Short Cat to the Ornve. Every frreut discovrry In the world's hiotory has lironht with it nn nccora jinnying nfliirtion, nnd it remained for the Klondike to develop n peculiar mania that threntons to ontrivnl opium rating. AmoiiK tho residents of tho far north it Is known as tho "snow habit," and it is said to bo incurable. A rctarnod Klnndiker tells tho strano story. "There aro ninny strange things in the Klondiko," said the narrator, "bnt perhaps the strangest and that about which nothing has been written so far, is the dissipation canned by eating snow. In tho north, when tho ther mometer reaches 80 to 40 decrees below loro, a monthfnl of snow is liko molten xnetaL It brings an inflammation to the palate nnd tongue and it in impossible to qnench tho thirst. The first advice an old timer offers a newcomer in the roRion is 'Don't eat snow.' Thero are mon in that country, once hearty, ro bust miners, now weak, effeminate crea tures, whoso fall can be traced directly to tho time they began munching snow. "The matter has been but littlo in vestigated, but tho scientists who have examined tho subject say that the wa ters of the north are rich with mineral deposits which nre being constantly washed down from tho mountains. A certain per cent of this mineral is taken Into the air when vapor rises, and the snow becomes impregnated with it. Thero have been several falls of red mow near Point Barrow, the deposit being of a reddish brown color, due en tirely to minerals. Thus it can be seen that a person eating largo quantities of tho snow takes into his system a corre sponding amount of minerals." While coming down tho Copper rivor last spring tho narrator came npon a party of miners whero ono was dying from tho effects of eating snow. lie had been a hard drinker, bnt had rnn short of whisky. His thirst became nnendur ablo and as water was scarce in mid winter he had taken to eating snow. Soon ho claimed it relieved his appotito for the liquor, but his companions no ticed that his appetite for the snow in creased nntil he was consuming enor mous qnantities. Gradually his skin, which was a dark bronze, grew light, hla rngged stature became bent, and even his harsh voice chunged to the effeminate sqneak of an old woman. His strength gave way, and his com panions tried to break him of the habit. He would lio on his pallet and moan pitifully for a monthfnl of snow and when opportunity offered would steal unobserved to the doorway and gulp down huge handfuls. At last, seeing death was inevitable, his companions allowed him the snow, hoping to pro long his life. It proved unavailing, however, and one morning the man was found dead. There are some spots on the Copper river where tho snow, when melted and trained through a cloth, shows percep tible signs of minerals, and often gold is found plentifully intermixed, but of course not in paying quantities. Where this comes from is a mystery, but it may be brought from the far north by the heavy winter gales that sweep over this part of the country. It has been said that if the snow conld be melted away it wonld leave deposits of millions . of dollurs in gold dust on the ground. The narrator had a close call himself from falling a victim to the snow habit "It was in the winter of 1800-7," he said, "and I was new to the country. An old miner near Dawson had warned me against eating snow, but I, with my partner, had gone back into the hills on a prospecting tour and had got caught in a blizzard. We were shy of pro visions and on our way up lost the package containing our cooking uten sils. This we remedied by broiling our cooked foods, but we had nothing in which to melt the snow. It is claimed that melted snow is harmless, as the metallic deposits it contains sink to the bottom of the receptacle. "We decided to try it 'raw,' and we did. Whether it was the food or the snow I don't know, but during the week we waited for a chance to get out we had an ever increasing thirst, nntil, when we were finally able to strike the trail, we were consuming snow at a frightful rate. When we reached our companions, we attempted to assuage onr thirst with water, but it did no good. Wo hud acquired a taste for the frozen water, and it seemed to have in vigorating qualities. At night we could not sleep unless we took our snow. "We were fast approaching the de generate stago when I reached a realiz ing sense of our condition and under took to break off. I began by degrees and worked down, bnt np to the very moment I left tho country the sight of the snow always raised in mo an inor dinate craving. It cost me many sleep less nights and weary days to restrain myself. Had I given way to the habit I would, like many another poor fellow, have lost all ambition and filled an un known grave in that frozen wilderness. " Cleveland Plain Deulor. Dynamite. Dynamite explodes so rapidly that its force is exorted in the direction from which tho greatest pressure comes. That is, if the dynamite be placed on the ground the explosive force is down ; if it be hung against a wall its force at tacks tho wall ; if it bo hung nnder an object its force is upward. The curions fact that corn, potatoes and other plants thrive bettor when placed in rows running north and south has been proved by Dr. Wollny of Mu nich. This minces tho shading by each cither to a miii-hunm, more uniform and regnlar light, heat and moisture resulting. DYED DIAMONDS. Yellow Stones Can ru Mnd to Look Like Gems of the First Wnter. "There are tricks in every trade" has grown to bo an adage, nnd this proverb holds especially goo: I with regard to the jowelry trade, wliidi for "ways that nro dark nnd trices that aro vain" fair ly takes tho palm for roguery. Although n great deal of capital, timo end labor have been devoted to counter feiting the diamond, very littlo success hns been obtained from a fraudulent point of view, as tho diamond possesses extraordinary qualities of hardness and brilliancy, with which no imi tation, up to now, can attempt to vie. "Paste" of all kinds can be testod by means of a sharp steel file, which scratches its surface. A method of successful imposition with diamonds has, however, boon dis covered, and the originator of this swin dle actually defrauded the pawnbrokers of London alone in one year of upward of $500,000. The general pnblic, as well as jewel ers, nro aware that diamonds of a yel lowish tinge, or, us they are called in the trade, "straws, " are worth very lit tlo. Largo stones of this color, even when weighing from 10 to 100 carats, aro quite common and will only fetch in tho market from $5 to f 20 per carat, the vnlno, of course, increasing in ratio with weight. Dinmonds of tho same weight, if of tho first water, or perfect ly colorless, would bo worth from five to ten times as lunch. The methods of the individual refer red to were as follows: Ho purchased a quantity of "yellow" stones, and then by a simple yet ingenious process suc ceeded in imparting to thorn an'evanos cent purity of color. This was done by procuring two ordinary glasses, a kottle of boiling water and a threepenny packet of mauve dye. The "yellow" diamond, which was perhaps set in n gold ring or pin, was merely dipped in tho glass containing the dye, and then in clean boiling wa ter half a dozen times, and allowed to dry, when it presented all the appear ance, even to the eye of an expert, of a magnificent stone of tho first water. The next move was to place the ring on the finger, and tho well dressed dia mond dyer would sally forth, enter a pawnbroker's nnd pledge the ring for at least three times its worth. Within 12 hours, however, tho effects of tho dye would have disappeared, and the pawn broker could only wonder what on earth was wrong with his eyes when hu advanced so much money on such a yel low stone. Fortunately, owing to the magnitude of this individual's operations, tho fraud was discovered, and now pawn brokers, if they are suspicious of a dia mond's color, immerse it in nitric acid, which destroys nny dye that may be present without in any way injuring the stone. London Mail. GOOD MONEY FOR BAD NEWS Paid to Learn That Slant Would Leave Him In Six Months. Somehow it made me feel bad, this happening that I am abont to relate. I was in the office of an oculist, ono of the leading men in his profession in Pittsburg. A big, strong and healthy looking man entered. His appearance indicated that he had many years of life before him. He was well dressed, keen ly intelligent and of pleasant counte nance. "Doctor," he said, "my eyes have been troubling me, and I would like yon to mako an examination of them and treat thorn. " After a few preliminary questions the doctor told him to strip himself to the waist He took off his clothes and stood there, a magnificent specimen of man hood. The doctor examined him, pay ing particular attention to his back, for a reason of which I know nothing. Having finished, he said: "Put cn your clothes. I can do noth ing for you. Your sight may last six months, but no longer. Treatment will do no good. Blindness is sure to come." "What's tho matter, doctor?" he asked quietly, with a faint tremor in his voice. The doctor told him in technical lan guage and then explained that the trou ble came from the wasting of a nerve leading from the spine. "What's your bill, doctor?" asked the man when he got his clothes on. "Five dollars," replied the doctor. He paid it and left tho otlice without another word. In tho fullness of life he walked out into tho blessed light of day, doomed within six months to darkness nntil death. It was an incident to the doctor; to me it was a tragedy. Pitts burg News. Irvlnv Didn't Head. Sir nenry Irving appeared at the Theater Royal, Edinburgh, in 1857, and two years later ho went to Linlith gow to give a reading there.

From our Regular Correspondent . Washington, Feb. 20, 1899. Quite as sneaky as its attacks upon Gen. Miles is the attempt of the dl ministration to make it appear that democratic Senators are trvintr to force an extra session of Congress by oppos ing legislation for a large standing army. It is the duty of democratic senators to act in accord with the wishes of their constituents, and in re sisting by every constitutional and parliamentary method known to them such vicious legislation they will be doing exactly that. 1 hey have noth- 1 n ing to cio witn calling an extra session of Congress; that is strictly a Presi dential prerogative. A feature of the red hot debate in the House on the offering of the Hep burn Nicaragua Canal bill as an Amendment to the Sundry Civil bill was a short but stormy speech in favor of the bill by Representative Baily, of Texas, who said he supported the amendment because it provided for direct ownership of the Canal by the government, instead of a partnership with a private corporation. Some bitter personalities were thrown around during the debate. Czar Reed and his henchmen in the House opposed the amendment, and most of the democrats favored it. It was ruled out on a point of order, and the House under the lash of Czar Reed sustained the ruling, by a vote of 127 to 109. The disposition of the McKnery joint resolution, which was this week adopted by the Senate, by a vole of 25 to 22, by the House committee on Foreign Affairs, will speedily show whether the resolution was adopted as a part of the game by which a suffici ent number of votes were obtained to ratify the treaty, or not. The vote in the Senate indicates that it was. The Bacon substitute, which was defeated by the vote of the Vice President, the Senate being a tie, really had a mean ing; it pledged the U. S. to treat the Ph lippines just as it is already pledg ed to treat Cuba. The Philippines could be held forever and a day, as the saying is, under the McEnery re solution, if it were a law. Representative Lewis, of Washing ton, in the course of a short running debate on the item in the Sundry Civil bill which appropriates $20,000, 000 to pay Spain for the Philippines, pointed out the important and inter esting historical fact that Spain is the only country on earth that has ever repudiated its treaty obligations. In 1762, after the English had taken the Philippines, Spain made a treaty in which it agreed to pay England an amount equivalent to $10,000,000 to regain possession of the islands. England gave up the islands under that treaty; but Spain has never paid a cent oi the money promised. Representative Grosvenot, of Ohio, chairman of the Republican caucus, this week named the committee of members of the next House who are, in obedience to caucus direction, to prepare a financial bill to be present ed to a caucus of the republicans of the House, in the next Congress. The make up of the committee leaves no doubt that the bill it will prepare will be whatever sort of bill Mr. McKinley may wish to have jammed through. One ot the shrewdest men in political life said of the probable work of this committee: "My prediction is that the financial bill that is likely to be come a law at the first session of the next Congress, whether that be extra session closely following close of the present session or regular session next winter, will meet the wishes of Secretary Gage and other extreme single gold stand ard advocates. Next year will be Presidential year and Mr. McKinley is a very wily politician. In my opin ion he will try to make that financial bill a dodger, and he will have plenty assistance from the members 'of the House who have a strong silver ele ment in their districts."

Hall's Family Pills are the best, im prefer that Secretary Gage's ideas be followed in the financial bill, because that would leave no room for dodging the issue in the next campaign. But it is always the policy of the politicians to prevent a square stand up fight on a plain issue, if there is any possible way in which it can be prevented. Ex-Secretary John Sherman didn't mince words when he spoke about the attempt of the War Commission's re port to whitewash Alger and his gang and to blacken Gen. Miles. Mr. Sherman said: "If Mr. McKinley were up for election to-day he would get in Ohio but an inconsiderable number of votes. From all that I can learn there is little enthusiasm for him there, and but very few newspa pers are supporting him. There is no doubt that such a condition has been brought about by just such at tacks as are being made upon Gen. Miles. Whit has Gen. Miles done to the President and Secretary of War that he should be treated so ? He has not stood in their way. I suppose jealousy is at the bottom of it all." Mr. Sherman may be very sore-headed he has reason enough to be but that does not prevent his being able to tell the truth.

Williamsport has had a mysterious prisoner in the jail for several days. The officers refused to reveal the ident ity of the man or the crime for which he was wanted until last week, when Sheriff Colton, of Lake county, Mich., arrived in that city with requisition papers for Andrew M. White. White is wanted for grave robbery, and a reward of $1,500 was paid for his apprehension. In last August he open ed the grave of Alex. McLain at Bald win, Mich., and stole the body. He dressed the corpse in his own clothes, and then, with the aid of his father, H. V. B. White, of Chenango county, New York, attempted to defraud an insurance company of $2,000. The attempt failed and White fled. He was located in a lumber camp near Williamsport and arrested. The sheriff paid the $1,500 to Sheriff Gamble of Lycommmg county. Grocers Oan Sell Quinine. In reply to an inquiry as to whether grocers can sell quinine pills, the sec retary of the state pharmaeutical board has written as follows: "Under secetion 6 the grocer has the right to sell quinine pills, as one commonly used medicines, in unbrok en packages, but when he attemps to open the package and sell by the doz en or one half dozen he becomes a dispensor and is liable under section 1 of the act, Yours truly, Charles T.

She puts it off as long as she dare, and is only driven to it by fear of can cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill. Most frequently such a woman leaves a physician's ollice where she has un dergone a critical examination with an impression, moro or less, of discour agement. This condi tion of the mind destroys tho effect of advice; nnd she grows worse rather than better. In consulting Mrs. Pink ham no hesitation need be felt, the story is told to a woman and is wholly confidential. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women her advice without charge. Her intimnte knowledge of women's troubles makes her letter of advice a wellsprlngof hope, and her wide expert eneo and skill point the way to health.
