Im, by the way, what he thought of his Labor Day speech. Smit
Ed at one
time two hundred and thirty-seven billion, five hundred
million (237,500,000,000) feet which would make a column one foot square and three million miles
high. Although controlled by only three holders, that interest comprised over eight percent of all the standing timber in the United States at
that time." The above illuminating figures,
quoted from "The I.W.A. in the Lumber Industry," by James Rowan, will give some idea of the magnitude and power of the lumber trust. [Illustration:

Lying on his back, do. do. right side. do. do. left side. do. do. face. And about seventy-nine other methods, which need not be mentioned, for the simple reason that they were all equally useless. At last he gave up in despair, and rising
up he sat on the side of the bed, with his feet dangling down, and looked around. The moon had risen, and was shining into the room. By its light he could see the outline of the beds. Around
him there ascended a choral harmony composed of snores of every degree, reach

and bowels, intense thirst, nausea, vomiting, purging and tenesmus,
with bloody stools, dysuria, cold skin, and feeble and irregular pulse. The vomit consists
at first of the food, then it becomes bile-stained,
and later dark coffee-grounds in appearance, due to extravasation of blood from the over-distended vessels in the gastric mucous
me mbrane. Death may occur from shock, convulsions, collapse, exhaustion, or from starvation on account of chronic inflammation of the gastro-intestinal mucous membrane. _Post-Mortem Appearances._--Those
of inflammation and its consequences. Coats of stomach, fauces, gullet, and duodenum, may be thickened, black, ulcerated, gangrenous, or sloughing.
Vessels filled
with dark blood ramify over the
surface. Acute inflammation
is often found in the small intestines, with ulceration and softening
of mucous membrane. The rectum is frequently the seat of marked ulceration. 3. =Poisons Acting on the
Brain.=--Three classes: The opium group, producing sleep; the
belladonna group, producing delirium and illusions; and
the alcohol group, causing exhilaration,
followed by delirium or sleep. _Symptoms._--Of the opium group, giddiness, headache, dimness of sight, contraction of the pupils, noises in the ears, drowsiness
and confusion, passing

Ers, though many were made as late as this century
by New Haven, Providence, and Boston pewterers. Many bearing the stamps of these manufacturers have been preserved until the present day, seeming
to have escaped the sentence of destruction apparently passed on other pewter utensils and articles of table-ware. Perhaps they have been saved because the little, shallow, graceful dishes, with flat pierced handle on one side, are really
so pretty. The fish-tail handles are found on Dutch pewter. Silver porringers were made by all the silversmiths. Many still exist bearing the stamp of one honored maker, Paul Revere. Little earthen porringers of red pottery and tortoise-shell ware are also found, but are not plentiful. A similar vessel, frequently handleless, was what was spelt, in various colonial documents, posned,
possnet, posnett, porsnet, pocneit, posnert,
possenette, postnett, and parsnett. It is derived from the Welsh
_posned_, a porringer or little dish. In 1641 Edward Skinner left a "Postnett" by will; this was apparently of
pewter. In 1653 Governor Haynes, of Hartfor
