Why will she dress so unbecoming and

Stop, stop, child; you must not
talk that way about people," said the
venerable mother. "Sally, il you have
forgotten all about the sermon, you have

THAT hateful Mr.. j was there

lady abruptly "don't be foolish. i

Thus, in the case Of the lower animals,
the blood coagulates firmly on being ne

lows from poisoning by the colubnne
snakes, while in cases Of death by the
poison of the viper it remains perma-
nently fluid. No explanation is given OF
this peculiarly. From experiments DIR.
Fayrer ascertained that the poison acts
with more vigor or warm blooded ami

fowl sometimes being known TO die in a
few seconds. The power of resistance
generally appears 10 be in proportion 10
the size of the animal, although cats
seem to resist the influence OF poison
almost as long as dogs of three or four
times their weight. Cold-blooded ami
mails he found 10 succumb 10 the poison
more slowly, though fish, non-venomous
serpents, and mollusca all die. He, how
ever, agrees with the observation of DIR.
Mitchell and others, that poisonous SER

another cobra with no evil result, but
that the less poisonous serpents are

il may appear, the bodies of animals
that are poisoned by snakes may be eat
en- by man and animals with inpuHity.
OF this the experimenter had frequent
proof. He found, however, that the
blood Of an animal that died from snake
poison is itself poisonous, and that if in
jected into another animal il destroys
life. Although venomous snakes are
not affected, or but slightly, by snake
poison, they readily succumb TO strych-
nine or carbolic acid, the latter substance
appearing to destroy them very rapidly,
and to be an object of special aversion.
The usual remedies in the way of an
tidotes, DIR. Fayrer considers of very
little account, as being either powerless
or quite inert. A ligature, excision, or
cautery, if applied in time, appears to
be the only rational remedy that can be
of any avail in really poisonous case.
Stimulants are not unfrequently Judi
ciously recommended but as antidotes,
IN the ordinary sense of the term, they
have no special value.

says: Behind three or four immense
heaps OF shot and shell is the shell foun-
dry, the interior of which at once brings
to the mind Of the visitor subterranean

furnaces, which, when open, seem almost
to shrivel up the eyes of those unaccus-

which seems cool enough, but throws
out, as it passes, a fierce heat, which
makes one Involuntary shrink and draw
back.
Toward the centre of the circle n row
OF men stand, each stirring up mould
OF white hot metal, which throws a weird
lnrid light upon the workers face and
hands, making the whole place look as if
some great incarnation scene was going
on within it. This is the liquid metal
now being worked free from air-bubbles.
and which, poured into a mould. will.
half an hour hence, form the rongh. con-
ical shot and shell so rapidly being
wheeled away on all sides of us to cool
in the open air.
When cool, the shells are taken to the
finlshing-room, to have their studs fixed,
and have all the final touches put to them
before they are wheeled out to the gioan-
TIC piles already standing in the centre of
the arsenal, waiting till they are sent
away to be filled at the laboratory. and
shipped off either for home or foreign
service.

A Commercial Agency Case.

The case of Mellier against Shepherd,
manager of Bradstreet's Commercial
Agency, was before the Circuit Court of
St Louis, the hearing being on the mo-
ton of the defendant TO dissolve the in
junction granted few days ago, enioyn-
ing the circulation of the July number
of Brddstreefs Commercial Reports, on
the ground of the false and injurious
rating of the plaintiff. Several witnesses
testified to the solvency of Mr.. Mellier,
his business qualifications, integrity, &C.,
also that he is doing large and pros
porous business Mr.. King, formerly
an employee of the Agency, testified to
the mode OF transacting the business of
the Agency. He said that most of the
reports were manufactured in his office.
From the time Mr. Shepherd took
charge, the reports were based on the
old reports. The city reports were all
copied into the letter-book. and then
forwarded to New York. A book called
the "black book" was kept, in which
all unfavorable reports were copied.
Every one in the Office had access to this
book. He testified that some Agencies
were partial to subscribers, and that a
gold-headed cane would often raise a
mans rating. The plaintiff had been re-
duced from the rating of &C. G. ID. D., ="
a very high rating, to "E. D., which
meant that he was doing business with
a capital of less than $500. Subscrip-
tlon to the agency generally meant an
increase of credit. The witness further
stated that he had manufactured hun
dreds of reports himself.
