Goat-in-the-F Front Yard.

There are few things more devastating
than q goat-in the iront-yard. 1t lays
waste the flower bed and devours the Gro
quet arches, balls, and mallets. If there
are any iron chairs or lounges on the
front piazza, the goat is certain to nlbble
them, and seldom leaves them without
consuming q leg or two. What is the
best remedy for case of goat-in -the-front-
ward is still an open question. Any at
tempt to drive him out with clubs is sure
to end disastrously Either he tramples
down every vestige of flower or shrub, Or
he turns upon the driver and butts all
interest in life out of him. There was
once a globular man-one who was so fat
that his summit was as high above the
level of the sea when he was lying on his
back as it was when he was standing on
his feet. This man tried to drive goat
out of bis front yard and was butted for
several consecutive hours. 1t IS well
known that when goat has once knock
ed a man down he stands over him, but
refrains from resuming the attack until
his victim is on his feet again. The glob-
ular man was knocked down at the first
blow, and remained perfectly quiet; but
the goat, perceiving that his victim s
height remain ed undininished, imagined
that the attempt to knock him had fail
ed, and so went at him again. The per-
severance that animal showed did him
infinite credit. Having taken the con-
tract to knock the man down, he deter
mined TO butt it out on that line if it
took all day. Blow after blow was rained
upon the unfortunate globular person,
who was gradually rolled across the lawn
until he brought up against the wooden
casing around the cistern. 1t took the
goat nearly an hour to butt him through
this casing, but be ultimately succeeded
and when the man was subsequently tax
en- out of the water he was found to be
fiattened to q uniform thickness of two
inches He may, however, have beer
more malleable than an ordinary man.
/ AS for poisoning a goat all naturalis
agree that it is impossible. An anima
that can eat tin cans, boop-sk rts, board

Poisoning by Mouldy Bread ..

An inquest was held at Barnsley, Eng
land, October 10, in relation to the deaths
of two of eight persons poisoned by par
taking of bread pudding made at the
Albert Dining Rooms, Barnsley. A. II.
Allen, public analyst, testified that he
had examined the liver and kidney of
one of the victims, and the liver and
| lungs of the other, without find
ing any trace of poisonous metal
The materials used in making the pud-
ding had been carefully examined with
negative results. The glaze of the basin
in which the pudding was cooked had
been found to be free from lead or other
poisonous metals The pudding had
been very carefully examined and no
deadly poison had been detected. The
negative results of the chemical examina-
tious Tor various metallic poisons had
been borne out by the failure of either
pudding to produce purging or other
poisonous effects on a puppy which was
fed on the suspected pudding for two
whole days There were not a few cases
on record of irritant poisoning and death
being produced by mouldy bread Thus
horses have been killed in short space
of time after eating such bread in their
ordinary food. The symptoms were
those Of an irritant poison. In 1929 an
investigation was made in France into
the cause of illness due to eating bread
in particular state of mouldiness or
decay may not only produce symptoms
of poisoning, but actually cause death !;
and it was impossible to distinguish the
harmless from the dangerous kinds of
mould. As fungi grow very rapidly, it is
quite possible for mouldy bread to be
quite poisonous at one date, and to have
lost its poisonous properties two days
afterWard. One of the most poisonous Of
these fungi is ergot, which produces
symptoms very similar to those occa-
stoned by the pudding, and the reports
of the evidence in the present case have
caused an eminent toxicologist to ex-
press very strong opinion that the
presence of this fungus was the cause of
the poisoning. The witness stated fur
ther, that from experiments and observa-
tions he thought it clearly shown that
the pudding contained substance which
resembled ergot in all its chemical reac-
tions. The pudding was made of bread
said to be mouldy, and which was sew
eral weeks old and had been in contact
with ham, butter, and miscellaneous
scraps. Mr.. Allen then submitted ex-
tracts of letters from the leading tox-
biologists of the kingdom whom he had
consulted on the subject, and all of whom
agreed with him in his opinion as set
forth above,

What the Preachers and the Editors
Have Done.

The story [of the process by which the
resumption of specie payments has been
attained is interesting, too, perhaps most
interesting, as an illustration of the way
in which under popular government
the rational, reflective, remembering ele-
ment in society protects itself and civili-
zation against folly and ignorance. The
combat is carried on not by compact bat
talions, bearing down everything by sheer
weight and volume, but by swarms of
skirmishers, each pegging away from
whatever position he deems best, now
advancing and now retiring, as the ma
ture of the ground may dictate, but all
the while keeping up steady fire, some
times on visible but more frequently
on an invisible enemy, and for the most
part without knowing until near the end
what impression has been made. 1t may
be said, in truth, that the victory in this
case has been almost wholly due not to
any political party or to any body OF
financiers, but to the unfaltering exer-
tions of newspapers and ministers, acting
without concert and addressing audien-
ces which might, for the most part be
called hap-hazard. AS a general rule,
throughout the whole country, the min
listers in all discourses in which they
have touched on public affairs land such
dlscourses recuf now with increasing fre-
quency) have treated financial heresies
as form of sin-as, in fact, disguised at
tempts to cheat, and thus helped greatly
to keep the steadiestgoing and most in
fuential portion of the population sound
on the main question. As general rule
too, the qualities which made men edi-
tors or proprietors of leading newspapers
kept their heads clear on the currency
! question, and enabled them to pursue
with unsparing rigor the various fallacies
which made their appearance in it,
Without the powerful, subtle, and all
pervading opposition which emanated
from these two sources to schemes OF
folly or knavery. it is all but certain that
the active politicians of both parties
would early in the struggle have tr ed
some huge financial experiment which
would have ended in wreck and repudia
tion.-[The Nation. -.

Pay as You Go.

The best of all rules for successful
housekeeping and making both ends of
the year meet is "pay as you 60. Be-
yond all countries in the world, ours is
the one in which the credit system is the
most used and abused. Pass books are
the bane and pest of domestic economy,
perpetual plague, vexation and swindle.
Abused by servants at the store and the
house, disputed constantly by house
keepers and dealers, they are tempta-
tions to both parties to do wrong II
never had that" 1--WE neglected to enter
this = II forgot to bring the book"
Never mind, we'll make note of it,"
and SO it goes. But the worst of it is
that housekeepers are tempted to order
what they have not the means to pay
for, and when the month or quarter
comes for settlement they are straitened.
A family can live respectfully on very
moderate income, if they always take
the cash in hand and buy where they
can buy to the best advantage. Then
they will be careful first to get what is
necessary. Extra comforts will be had
as they can afford them. But it is bad
policy to buy on credit. No wise dealer
sells so cheaply on credit as for cash.
The table is the place for economy.
Good wholesome food costs little COM
pared with unwholesome luxuries.
The dress of family is SO much mat
ter of taste that it need hardly be said
it is ust as easy to be respectable in
clothing that costs little, as in that which
is expensive. To dress according to
ones means is the only respectable style.
One must have home, and in every
place there are dwellings suited to the
ability of the tenant or the purchaser.
When the rent, the food and the clothing
are kept within ones income, the margin
for benevolence, for luxury and for pleas
ure may be measured and used In these
as in other matters PAY as you CO."
Having made no debts at shops or
stores, and especially having paid SER
wants, workmen and workwome en- prompt
ly their dues, it is well also to carry out
the same punctuality and caution in do
nations. If.you would endow a profess
orship, and have the means, do SO but
do not give your note for it, promising to
pay the interest. That is not an endow-
ment; it is your promise to make it such.
If your circumstances are changed by
the force of events beyond your control,
you cannot redeem your promise. We
can point to many colleges, seminaries
and other institutions falsely supposed
to be endowed, and the basis proved to
be promises worth no more than the
scrap of paper on which they are written.
In all things "pay as you CO." Keep
out of debt as you would keep out of
prison. Try this plan through the year
1879, and see how well it has worked
when you review the subject in the be-
ginning of 1880. A-

Pacific Christian Advocated
Be Happy.

1t is religious duty to be happy. No
one but the Christian holds a certificate
to laugh. Prominently he is the man
who should laugh and grow fat. Every
door to Gods larder is open to him. He
walks in flower garden and lives on the
fat of the land. He may be poor and
want bread for time; he may be sick
and suffer; his children may be in rags
but he can laugh still, just as the blush
ing maiden can laugh at the old clothes
she wears on wash day and the delayed
meals while she hangs out the purified
linen. She has a better ward robe, and
wash-day comes only once week. In
his present poverty the Christian is saw
ing his fine clothes for coronation day
and his present hunger only sharpens his
appetite for the square meal OF Heaven.
Better than this, like Joshua he carries
off the grapes while his enemies sleep,
and docs not live by bread alone" o,
Christian be happy. Less than one hund-
red years and the dreary rattle on the
coffin lid over the bones of your friends
will be forgotten forever, or only laughed
at as thing of the past. Less than one
hundred years and rags, and poverty,
under your feet. Look up, look up i
Heaven lies around YOU Jehovah walks
in the garden. Take up your task with
singing and scatter smiles as you 60.
Half the evils of this world can be laugh
ed out of countenance, and the other half
can be prayed to death. Never sit down
to weep but once; let that hour be peni-
tence and self conservation which brings
in the Saviour and robs you of your sin,
and then rejoice evermore, pray without
ceasing, and in everything give thanks.

Life's CHEEKY Autumn.

l wish that any one who fancies life at
forty is necessarily gloomy, would read
the noble sermon by that most noble
man, Albert Barnes, on Life at Four
score" Such CHEEKY, inspiring, heavenly
views are good for body and soul. Wit h
good health and even measurably easy
circumstances, forty may be the very
golden autumn of life. The little chill
dren are probably now grown and sound
sleep can prepare one for the days du-
ties, and helpful older ones relieve the
mother from many cares. A good woman
in any neighborhood has an assured posi-
tion, and is priced in any community;
and this last adds not little to the
pleasantness of ones condition. She has
time now for small, neighborly charities,
which bless her own soul even more than
those to whom she ministers. Do not
dread the fortieth milestone, because
the bloom will depart. Many woman
is far more charming at middle life than
she was in the rosy flush of youth. Wis
dom. the result of experience, and a
thoroughly kind heart will make a
wrinkled cheek and silvery hair more
beautiful than the fairest face which has
the '.crow feet" of a sharp temper, or a
sinful, censorious spirit. It is ourselves,
and not our age that will make us happy
and admired, and better still, beloved.
Do not adopt the gloomy view even
when you have gone still further on the
journey. AS Linda gave US a verse on
Forty Years." let me give you another
on still later age:
Just sixty-two! Then trim thy light,
And get the jewels all reset.
'Tis past meridian, but still bright,
And lacks some hours of sunset yet.
Az stxty-two be strong and true,
ScOur off the rust and shine
'Tis yet high day, thy staff resume,
And fight fresh battles for the TRUTH
For what is age but youths full bloom,
ripper, more transcendent youth.
A wedge of gold is never old, [rolled.
Streams broader grew as downward
Above all, to have the way seem glad
and bright as we go down life's sloping
hillside, we need to have it lighted from
the cross OF Christ. This can gid the
darkest clouds that ever brooded over
our earthly path. and it will light US
through the low-lying valley which stands
at the end of the way.

Memories.

When the gray twilight softly spreads
Her robe DER earth and sky;
When the far mountains shaggy heads
Are lost to human eye;
When the tired bird at eve hath sought
Sleep in the tuneleSs bower;
When the last bee wings homeward fraught
With forage from the flower;
When the dark pinewood dlmly shews
Its deepening tints of green;
When in the west with crimson glows
The sunsets closing scene
1 watch the glimmering shadows kiss
The threshold of the night,
And DER my heart oothing bliss
Falls in the waning light
And grosser thoughts that sternly cling
To life's dull sober day,
Leave me, as swallows on the wing
Fit from our sight away.
And soft as ripple on the lake,
With my bosom rise
Half-whispered yearnings, that awake
thousand memories
Sweet memories, that only come
To WOO my waking dreams,
When twilight shrouds the woodland dumb
And slumbers on the streams
OF faces that loved of yore,
And songs the loved ones sang,
And children's voices-heard no more
That through the greenwood rang.
o spirit treasures, We are mine,
And to my heart belong,
Yet linger not till l repine,
Or sing sadder song;
But leave me while still have power
To catch the sunny glow
Waited from memory's blissful bower
The shrine of long ago.
