The oriitiii of the phrase "money
to burn, or at least one origin of it,
was a consultation over a business
Iran-.act ion held lu lioclicslcr soinn
years ap. One of tho part n - inter-
c.-ti d wan Mr. F , a prominent mer-
chant of that city who was as well
known for his mtornstn in various
charities as for bis sound judgment
ami business ability. To these quali-
ties he joinisl a simple, straiKhttor-
ward nalure anil a In arty dislike of
all ostentation To Mr. F. there
came Smitlison, ll promoter, with a
schcinc in which he had interoMliwI
many of the wealthy meiiof western
New York, and ill which lie very
much desired Mr F. 's sup|K>rt. The
uicrcliHiit listcii' il to the promoter's
r uber boiiiluiHtic description of the
future sure to result from tho carry-
iiii: out ot his project and offered
him a curat- Smithson twirled the
ciirar Im Iwccii Ins lingers as lio out-
lined the prollts which would accrtio
to Mr F. it ho would invest a cer-
tain sum.
"You will need a Itiruo sum of
money to start with," obsurved the
merchant
"Oh, yes," replied the promoter
in an i ilVhnnd way. "luspect to put
in a bia proportion on my own ac
count. "
" I'lien you have enough now to
Infill with?" as . i Mr. F., extend-
ing a lighted match to Ins visitor to
light lus cigar. The visitor declin.it
the match with a gcsluri', and put-
ting his hand lu his pocket pulled
nut a handful of hills, one of w hich
he twisted up and thrust into tho
gas light Then he li! his i igtir,
held the hill until it was burned
down and tossed it on nu ash re
(•elver
"You sec how much money counts
with me." said he grandiloquently.
The merchant rose. "That was a
♦ in hill, wasn't it?" lioaskiil.
I lielievo so," replied the pro-
moter
"IV-oii in It.Kihonter long''" asked
Mr. F.
Not very," said the promoter
"Why?"
"This is a hard winter, " returned
the merchant. "Many people arc
without suilicicnt food and clolhing.
* nir hospitals and charitable organi-
zations are erowded and in debt.
And with these things so you con-
sider money no more than to make
a foolish and wicked display with
it You can do no business wilh me.
I bid you good night '
The crest fallen promoter's c.xjkis-
filiations wore courteously hut firm-
ly put ii-iih<, and lie h it the place.
When it became known that Mr. F.
had refused lo invest ill Ins project,
others withdrew, and the plan fell
through. A year later Mr. F. was
(lining lit one of the hotels in this
city when Smithson entered w ith a
gentleman whom Mr. F. and the
others with him knew This gentle
man brought Smiths.>n over to the
ciri le and introduced him. When
ho (Mime to Mr. F., the merchant
said:
"We need no introduction. 1
know Mr Smithson. Ito hi*.s money
lo burn."
It so happened that tho promoter
had only a few days before come
into possession • if a large sum, as a
linn.her of the men present knew,
and tin' phrase ho lias money to
burn struck them at once. They
were from all parts of tho country,
and tho saying went with them to
lioston, Si l^nns, Chicago, Wash
tugtoii m in I other cities to drift back
eventually, lis ail slaug that hasaiiv
thing more than a local meaning
i!• ii"s, to this city, where il was heard
in tin Is, read in the newspa
pers and spoken Ironi thn stage, ll
was altered to express a siipernbuii
dance of any comiiiuility, such as
"bonds to burn," "information to
burn" or anything else, whether in
tlammable or not. "to burn," and in
some local ii les it was altered and
came out ill such guise as "he has
money to singe a wet di a'. lint it all
came from tin ill tuned braggadocio

The following leaf from the his-

fiiIly preserved by an old iuhal.itaiil
of Marllsiro, and now for the llr.-t
tunc in given to the public:
Tho day t!#' British army (Misiied
Marlboro tu route finm liciiMlict to!
Washington nr William Ileum's, a
prominent physician and citizen of
Marlboro, was .lining a |iarly of his,
friends III hisreslilei.ee, among them I
I >r William Hall and Mr I'hilip j
Wecms Kxcitcinellt ill the neigh

intense hostility was awakened
a..'<oiiet Iho soldiery, who, during
their ascent of the I'atiixcul and
their mar. b across the country, had
acte.l more liken party of marauders
than a disciplined army. The main
body of the army on the day refer
red to (II1('2III1|mm1 at the "Wood
Yard," about live miles from this
place, and a |mrty of stragglers;
roamed into Marlboro.
Some of the convivial guests of !
I r Beanos, seeing tho reilcim,ts in j
town, suggested that 111" |.nrty go
out and arrest them, ami the sug
gcstion was adopted and put into ex
edition without delay. When they
were released, they hastened to re
join thearmy and reported the treat
incut they had received in Marllsiro, j
and a s.pind was sent back to arrest ,
the ringleaders ot the arresting par
tv Accordingly t*rs. Ilea lies it <1
Hill ami Mr. Woems were taken into'
custody and hurri.il off to Bristol, j
Home miles from Marllsiro, on the
I'atuxciit. at which place Admiral
i ochrano's llagsblp lay at anchor.
As a special indignity lir. Bonnes
was forced to ride the entire .lis
tance on a l.areliacked horse.
When they were taken on ship
board and the case was reported to i
Admiral Cochrane, he was ili...pns,>d
nt first to use severe measures w ith
the prisoners, but ls-t tor counsel pre-
vailed, and when the ship reached
Benedict 111- Hill anil Mr. Wei.ns|
were released, lir Beanos, however, j
<1 nl not fare so Well, lie was re-j
liiin.il ou the ship anil curried to
Baltimore, which had hoeti marked
for destruction.
At that time Francis Scott Key,
who was a nephew of I)r. Beanos,
whs residing in lioorgeti.wri, I'.
w here lie was a prominent mcisils'r
of a glee club, which was composed
of w hat was then the best musical
talent of the place. Hearing of the
arrest and detention of his uncle,
be hastened lo the scene of the
approaching oonlltct and went
aboard the ship undercover of a flag
of truce to secure if possible his re
lease, and there he was detained I
during the bombardment of Fort i
M. Henry.
i hit of the hopes and fears of bis
temporary imprisonment were born!
tho sentiments of the song that has
made him famous. After the 1h.ii. '
luirdmi'tit he was sent ashore, but
iir Beatles was carried to Halifax,
where lie remained a prisoner for
over a year After his release he
returned t" his old home in Marlbo-1
ro, where lm died in ls'.'s, ag.il HO j
years 11 is grave may lie seen at
Marlhoro today on what is known as

When Mr. Key returned to lSeorge
town, so the story runs, at lie. first
meeting of his glee club thereafter
lie related to lus companions the
thrilling experiences of his self im !
posed .'011111111111 nt, and the sugg. s j
tion was immediately made that lie

suggestion was acted U|Kili, and the
"Star Spangled Banner' was r.Mid!
amid great upplatise at their next I
meeting. It was llrst sung by them
to th" air of an old Lutheran hymn.
Thus it w ill be seen that the cireiim
stances from which came the soul
stirring words of our national song
grew out of a thoughtlessly precipi-
tatnl incident that occurred in Marl-

SLAVfcS OF ARSENIC-
(Jur.-r rr.r-11,-.. ut thr IV..|tl ot IIm UI-
ii.' I...rl.> ,.f s, j rl«.
Tlio habit of arsunio eating by thn
|Hs.pl,i of St vrin. a duchy of Austriii,
has Ihi-ii known to the aciontifio
world for many years. Traveler*
who have |Mssed through Htyritt
have come lun k with re)M.rt<i on thin
practice, saying that the |M<opl of
that country were accustomud to
taking a white mineral, which was
arsenic.
That this was so was deniixl by
many, who said that the mineral
taken was nothing more nor lesii
than chalk There was much discua-
sion over the matter, and the Miib-
jii't provwl itself of such intercut
uiid inn*.rtaiico that tho m-iimlifle
h.H'lcties took the qui'Stioii up and
invesligiilnl it, and it was pretty
well proved thai such a usage did
exist, but not so widespread as was
generally supjsisisl. Many physi-
cians have gone there simply to in-
vestigate this priictieoof arsenic eat-
ing. W bile son them have found
out much about the custom, others
have coine away no w iser than when
they went, owing to the si-ereey
w hich i'.uhIs among those addicted
tothehal.it As it is against the la w
to obtain arsenic without a prescrip-
tion from a physician of course thoml
who ilii so are anxious to keep II
quiet There are also found among
the peasants of Sal/burg and Tyrol
those who follow the same practice.
In these regions several arsenio
works are situated, and the only
way the employees call stand tlui
poisonous fumes is by taking tlm
drug internally, at lirst in small
doses and gradually increasing thn
dose until t lie system tolerates larg.t
quantities
It is probably from these iirsoniil
workers that tho custom spread tu
others, principally the lower classes,
as hunters, w.mhI cleavers, stabl.i
grooms mi. 1 charcoal burners. All
forms of arsenic are taken—the pnrn
arsenic, the red sulphide and th.)
yellow sulphide or orpiment.
The arsenic caters Itcgin with a
dose about the size of a piiihead and
increase this miliumt gradually until
they are taking a piece als.ut thn
size of II |H-a.
The habit is generally Isigun nl
the age of K> and continued up to
the ages of 74 and 75. The users ol
hi.In. as arsenic is known among
the peasants, are generally long lived
|Hi.ple, but unless at the age of &Q
they commence to gradually discon-
tinue the use of it they invariaK
die a sudden death, and the fact thai
death occurs occasionally from [xii-
hotimg among hidri eaters shown
that even the Styriaiis are not in-
vincible to the deadly effects of this
drug.
The reason for this custom ix
asserted by some to be for their Jht-
annul !ip)ienraii(Je, but the fact that
the habit exists principally among
the male sex disproves Ibis. It in
said by the peasants themselves thill
it is done to make them strong and
healthy, and they really are a strong
nml healthy | nple.
Kiiorinous quantities of the drug
are taken by some of them. In oiii!
well authenticated case tho man, a
manager of some arsenic works,
took daily a dose of ^'il grains, each
dose largo enough to kill several
men unaccustomed to its use. An-
other strange thing about this case
is, the man began it first by taking
three grains, an amount which wu
would consider decidedly dangerous,
t in several occasions be attempted to
leave off taking the drug, but was
made violently ill, only to recover
on resuming bis usual allowance —

The authority for tho statement
that Clovis was the first monarch
llinl touched for scrofula is the "lie
Mtrubili Strumas Sanntiilo" of Ijiu-
rentius, physician to Henry IV ol
France. The statement has been
questioned by English writers on the
subject, some of whom have main-
tained that no foreign sovereign*
such as w ere allied to the royal fam-
ily of England ever |><>Msc*scd thlt

upon our Edward the Confessor.

lish reigning sovereigns to exercise
the gift, but tho Stuart pretenders'

stances of healing by touch under
