PoisOns.

Man is the most wonderful of animals.
Among other strange things which he
can do, he can eat poisons with certain
degree of impunity. 1t is only necessary
to be prudent, regular, and careful about
the doses to survive for considerable
period.
A certain quantity of opium kills,
-Four or five grains are almost certain
death to a person not IN the habit Of
using it; but any one can learn to eat
twenty and thirty grains at dose. It
becomes heneceSsity of a second nature,
and though it shortens life, it does it so
slowly that its operation in this respect
is not alarming.
So coffee, tea, and tobacco are poisons.
1t requires some hardihOod to get accus-
toned to the latter. A drop or two Of
the essential oil of either of these mar
cotics, or a very concentrated decoction,
viii kill; yet how many millions of men
use all three every day of their lives.
There is some arrangement of the
nervous system-some diminutioa of the
strength probably some shortening Of
life; yet how few hesitate to use these
fascinating luxuries.
And arsenic is very decidedly poison,
y
is habitually eaten. A young man Of
seventeen, say, begins by taking three
Grains at q dose, which is gradually
increased until he gets up to twenty
three grains It does not do to exceed
this quantity, nor is it safe to leave off
suddenly, When the arsenic-eater arrives
at the age of fifty, he gradually dimin-
ishes the doses, The immense quantity
of poison constantly passing through
his system does not prevent his reaching
the age Of seventy or eighty
For all this, it is our opinion that the
more simple our food, and the less
poison we take Of any kind OF in any
form, the better. Probably no man, at
the end of his life, was ever sorry he
had taken little opium, or brandy, or
tobacco, though some may have been
sorry for taking too much.

Words Of Wisdom.

Fancy runs most furiously when q
guilty conscience drives it.
Many live miserably and meanly just
to die'magnifcently and rich.
Treat your enemies as if they would
some time or other be your friends.
Laws are always multiplying lawyers,
and lawyers always multiplying laws.
Impossibilities, like vicious dogs, fly
before him who is not afraid of them.
1t is only those that have done moth
ing, who fancy they can do everything.
Love is a compound of honey and gall,
mixed in various proportions for custom
ers.
Follow the fashion; you had better
display other peoples follies than your
own.
Many pride themselves upon being
wild young men, who are only wild
beasts.
He who knows his ignorance is the
possessor of the rarest kind OF valuable
knowledge.
Shut not up brood of evil passions in
your bosom like enraged. .serpents, they
will bite their cage.
You may gather a rich harvest Of
knowledge by reading; but thought is
the winnowing machine.
Keep the horrors at arms length.
Never turn a blessing round to see
whether it has dark side to 1t.

Defenses OfLondon.

With the addition of some huge SO.
ton guns, says the London Nears. the
heaviest artillery at present in the ser
vice, to the defenses of the Thames, the
forts which now protect London on the
side of the sea may be considered in a
satisfactory condition. We rarely regard
London as a fortified city, and yet
against the attack Of hostile squadron
it Is as well assured as any other port in
the world. 1t is only within the past
few years that any really serious stops
nave been made for the proper defense
OF the centre of the nations greatness.
At any time, no doubt, we could organ
ize IN few days a system of torpedo de-
fense which would, if successful. effect
ually bar progress up the river: but tor
podOes are at best a treacherous kind of
weapon, and are apt, at times, to be as
dangerous to friend as to foe.
Coming up to the More, the first oppo-
sition that an enemy would be likely to
meet with are the Sheerness forts and
the Isle of Grain guns, together with any
long-range cannon which might happen
to be in position on the Essex shore at
ShOeburyness. In the event of the hos
tile squadron passing these, it would next
~ NSRO viii q NClI sOnCA4lA Dcse-
terry at Coal House Point, and another
on the opposite shore called the new
Shornmeade Fort. These works mount
guns of very heavy calibre, and are so
constructed that they may operate in
unison and deliver q sweeping crossire.
Moreover, the reach of the river is of
such nature that the cannon of the
forts could command any ships coming
up the river a couple of miles before the
latter came abreast of the batteries.
If we suppose, however, the enemy to
be successful in evading these works,
also, then his progress would be checked
again at Tilbury Fort and its companion
work opposite, New Tavern Fort. These
forts are also fitted with guns of heavy
ealibre and long range, those on the Kent
shore commanding the whole of the long
reach in the river Just below Gravesend.
1t would only be in the event of an
enemy running the gauntlet of those big
guns that it would have any chance
whatever of reaching the Government
factories at WoolWich, or those docks
whose overhoWing riches the world has
heard vaunted so much and so often,

An Arctic Sfnrr-

In the spring of the year 1910, s. whal-
ing vessel sailed from the port of London.
upon voyage to the Polar Seas. Moth.
ing material is said to have occurred un-
til their arrival in those solitary regions.
when it became the duty of the crew to
keen q perpetual lookout upon the hori-
zon in fC arch of fish. Whilst thus occu-
pied, it vas fancied by one Of the sea-
men that u sail was discernible, as far to
the northward as the eye could reach.
As the course of the whaler was towards
the supposed vessel, mast became grad
ually distinguishable amidst the noun
tain OF ice, which appeared in that quar-
ter to bound the sea. It was now sum-
mer, and the afternoon unuslally calm,
whilst the whaler gradually /. cred the
objects in view, the supposition being
that it was a vessel engaged in operating
upon the blubber in a bay which would
open to the view upon approaching
nearer to the ice.
Upon arriving, however, at the spot, it
became clear, that the vessel was a
wreck embedded in the ice, and could
only be approached by boat. This hav-
ing been lowered, the captain and sew
eral of the seamen landed upon the ice
and proceeded to the vessel, which
proved to be a brig. The sails were
furled, very little appeared upon the
deck, and all the arrangements were
those of a vessel laid up for long period
Of time. Descending to the cabin. the
first object that was seen, was a large
newfoundland dog eoiled upon q mat,
and apparently asleep. Upon touching
the animal it was found to be dead, and
Aba hnJrr f-oznr, 70 fhn h1rIrO1r, ,e
stone. Entering the cabin, was next
seen young lady seated at a table; her
eyes were open, and gazing with mild
and steadfast expression upon the new
comers to that solitary spot. She was
dead; and in that apparently resigned
and religious attitude had been frozen to
death. Beside her was a young man,
who, it appeared, was the brother Of the
lady, and commander of the brig. He,
too, was dead, but sitting at the table,
and before him lay a sheet of paper. upon
which was written the following words
-"Our cook has endeavored, since yes
terday morning, to light a fire, but in
vain; all Is now over"
At the other side of the cabin stood
the cook, with flint and steel in his
hand, frozen to a statue, in the vain en-
deavor to procure that fire which alone
could save him and his companions from
the cold arms of death. The supersti-
tious terrors Of the seamen now hurried
the captain aWay from the wreck, the
log-book alone being brought away; and,
from this, it appeared that the ill-fated
vessel was brig, which had belonged to
the port of London, and had sailed for
the Arctic region more than fourteen
wears before.

AWOman,s Grave.

1t is only one wee romance of the
many, says the Sacramento Record Uiaioa,

history of Ell Dorado county-a romance
of woman's grave. The tiny mound is

have crept with the years over all the
Surroundings. Five thousand miners
worked in the flats and gulches of the
little mountain-rimmed camp, in these
early, golden days. No claim was ale
lowed to be over fifteen feet square, and
even then the ravines and hollows, the
valleys and hill slopes, were all located.
and there were miners to spare. 1t was
one of the loveliest camps in the foot
hills. There were some of the grandest
men, the most generous, The most heroic,

that his BaFe4ts have something more 70

their business, as il 1s his, to learn some
thing more every day, es long as they
live. So much for knowledge. The case
ought to be as clear to him with regard
to goodness. It is not enough that IN

women are sinners; and that In prayers
at home he hears his parents pray ti1aI

Judging by Appearances.

When Maine was district OF MaSSa-
chusetts, Ezekiel Whitman was chosen
to represent the district in the Massa-
chusetts Legislature. He was an eccen-
tric man, and one of the best lawyers OF
his time. He owned farm and did
much work on his land, and when the
time came for him to set out for Boston
his best suit of clothes was suit OF
homespun. His wife objected to his
going in this garb, but he did not care.
81 will get nice suit made as soon as
I reach Boston," he said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman
found rest at Doolittle's city tavern. Let
it be understood that he was graduate
of Harvard, and at this tavern he was at
home AS he entered the parlor of the
house he found several ladies and gen.
tlemen assembled, and he heard the fol-
lowing remark from one of them:
"Ahl mere comes countryman of the
real homespun genius. Here's fun"
Whitman stared at the company and
then sat down.
"Say, my friend, are you from the
country? remarked one of the gentle
men.
"Ya-as," answered Ezkiel, with ludi-
SAOub bh1bb Vi bAAO Ae1NCs
"And what do you think of our cityP'
asked one of the ladies.
''It's pooty thickly-settled place any
how. It's got sweepin' sight OF house'n
init"
"And good many people, too"
"Ya-as, 7 should guess So"
'Many people where you come fromF'
'Wal, some"
'fPlenty of ladies, I suppose%
''Ya-as, a fair sprinklin'."
"And 1 don't doubt you are quite a

eyes, beau 'em home, tew meeting
and singing-skewl."
perhaps the gentleman from the
country will take glass of wine?,
"Thank'ee. Don't keer if do"
The wine was brought.
"You must drink a toast"
"0h, git eoutl eat toast; never heard
Of sich thing as drinkin' it. But l can
give you sentiment"
The ladies clapped their hands; but
what was their surprise when the
stranger, rising, spoke calmly and clearly
as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to
wish you health and happiness, with
every blessing earth can afford, and may
you grow better and wiser in advancing
years, bearing ever in mind that outward
appearances are deceitful. You mistoOk
me from my dress as a country BOBBY,
while l from the same superficial cause
thought you were ladies and gentlemen.
The mistake has been mutual"
He had just finished when Caleb
Strong, Governor of the State, entered
and inquired for Whitman.
"Ah, here 1 am, Governor. Glad to
see you"
Then, turning to the dumbfounded
