A Famous Poison Mystery. England had a famous poison mys tery in the last century. Two mem- tr bers of a great club in Manchester, hz both men of position and keen politi- I cians, each received, apparently as a 1 New Year's gift, small boxes contain- t1 ing a few cigars of the very highest th quality apparently. Both were taken in fearfully ill after smoking, and one of 1at them subsequently died. The cigars di were found to be loaded with poison, and it was said that the man who' bi recovered only did so because he used w a cigar holder. The facts were at first ri hushed up, because, as *as said, the la suspected sender, whose motive was .m revenge on account of a lady, was a ul man of wealth and power. But this w subject was cleared, and the mystery to was deepened by the following cir- it cumstances: A rich Manchester mer- ux chant, traveling one day in a railway car about the time of the incident re- in lated, got into conversation with a se most agreeably and highly cultivated m stranger, who finally offered his cigar th case. The Manchester man was found L< at Leeds almost unconscious and the only occupant of the carriage. He grasped in one of his convulsed hands the ciga he had been smoking, and aft-w er anaaysis showed it to be identical bc with the others. He recovered, but : the stranger was never discovered. lit rit Easy Way to Be Generous. es In a church of 'a New England vil- se lage was an old man who had all the Christian graces save one, and that sil wfts the grace of liberality.

This was'done, m< and the old gentleman did not put his name on the paper. The result was CO: rather disheartening, $200 only having been pledged. Silence reigned for a se, moment. when one of the most gen- th< erous men in the church moved that tic "we double our subscriptions."
