The poisoned Tongue.

1t is the custom in Africa for
hunters, wher they have killed a
poisonous snake, TO cut off its head,
carefully burying it deep in the
ground. A naked foot stepping
on one of these fangs would be ia
tally wounded. Phe poison would
spread in g very short time
through the whole system. The
venom lasts long time, and is as
deadly after the snake is dead as
before. The Red Indians used to
dip the points of their arrows in
this poison, SO, il they made the
least wound, their victim would
be sure TO die.
The snakes poison is in it's
teeth; but there is something quite
AS dangerous, and much more
common in communities, which
has its poison on its tongue. In-
deed, your chances of escape from
a serpent are greater. The worst
snakes glide away in fear at the
approach ofsman, unless they are
disturbed or attacked. But this
creature, whose poison turks in its
tongue, attacks without provoca-
lion, and follows up his victim
with untiring perseverance,. We
will tell you his name, so you will
always shun him. He is called
Slanderer. He poisons worse
than serpent. Often his venom
strikes to the life of whole fam
iy or neighborhood, destroying
all peace and confidence.

Matches,

Although friction matches are
as co.cmon as nails, very small
proporiou of those who use them
understand the principle on which
they operate. 1t is, in fact, a
very simple affair. The tip of the
match is a combination of sulphur
and phosphorus. The phosphor'
us ignites at the heat of one hun
dred and twenty degrees, which
a slight friction will produce, and
this in turn ignites the sulphur,
which requires four hundred and
fifty or FIVE hundred degrees
The flame of sulphur sets FIRE to
the pine wood, OF which the match
is composed, and which ignites al
about six hundred degrees. The
combination is necessary, because
the phosphorus alone would moi
kindle the match, while the sui
pur alone would not ignite with
the ordinary friction.

Goods Lost in the Boston
Fire.

The correspondent of the Gin.
clnnatl Gazette says: The effect
of the Boston fire on the merchan-
disc market has been to enhance
Talues from 7 to 20 per cent.
The fire there has wiped out the
stocks of all the leading houses in
dry goods, clothing, wool, hats
and caps, boots anG shoes, leath
er, coach and carriage furnishing
hardware, iron and steel, paints
and drugs, and wholesale liquors,
and careful estimate makes the
value of goods destroyed about
$50, 100000. The dry goods,
leather, wool, coach furnishing,
and crockery dealers burnt out
were among the heaviest in the
country, while the clothing trade
of Boston has always been ranked
as larger than the combined
aggregate Of any other two cities.
Several private kilograms to-
night express the belief that when
the financial situation is fully un-
ders' ood the entire loss will be
embraced within fifty millions.

Not So Much of a Joke.

Quite an amusing j Ike was per
petrated at a certain boarding
house in Hudson, Last Saturday
night. One of the k1srders, n
very modest young man, had oc
casian to be out late, aud the rest
of his household thought they
would play joke on him, and
thiS is the way they did it. They
rigged up figure, supposed to re,
sernble fam tIe, which they .pui
in his bed, and they hung on a
chair Il skirt, on another a set Of
cnrsets, hung dress over the froi
board, and urnamented the bureau
with false hair pins and fixings-
thus giving the room the appear
auce Of being occupied by lady.
Al late hour the owner OF
the rhonl returned and lit Il e gas.
and his eyes b.held such an array
of articles as they were not wont
to gaze upon; but though bis ey es
were surprised his nose did not go
back on him, for it ''smelt mice,
and proceeded quickly to gather
up the fragments, did them in n
bundle, end hid them under the
barn. Sunday morning he ap-
peared at the table as though moth
ing had occurred, and could not he
prevailed to see any joke at all.
The result was that the instigators
were obliged to ren ain at home
from church f,r want Of hair and
boots and things, and had to ask
the bashiul young man to return
them. What he wants to know i,
who got the joke played on them.
