The Two Goats.

Somebody hung red bed-spread on
q clothes-line over at Somerville the
other day and Mrs. Moriarty's goat saw
il from the north just as Mrs. Finne-
gan's goat caught sight of it from the
south. The Moriarty goat was little
the farthest from it, but he travelled the
fastest. so they got there just the same
instant and recoiled about eight feet
each, and then stood and thought over
it about twenty minutes before a sud-
den flap of the spread decided them TO
try it again, and that time they got less
out OF it than before, but they got their
mad, up and stuck to it till one lost q
horn and the other an eye, and the
Moriartys and Finnegans are now sworn
foes.

Smoke Prevent Deaths.

Some one has at last been found to
say good word for smoke. The Bur-
slem Town Council has been discussing
the death-rate IN that town, which ap-
pears just now to be rather high, and
the medical officer consoles them by
pointing out that the deaths would be
more numerous still were it not for the
smokiness of the town. The evil effects
of their bad system of drainage are
largely counteracted by the smoke from
the factories, which blends with the at
mosphere, to act as deodorizer; and
he wss at loss to imagine how "intelli-
gent men, and even members of his
own profession could complain of the
''smoke nuisance" The doctors may
be left to settle the matter for them
selves; but one must admit that smoke
certainly has some of those offensive
qualities which belong to recognized
''deodorizers.'

Comparative Poisonous Effects Of Different
Metals.

Some interesting results relating to
different metals have been noted by M.
Richet. He finds that copper is 600
times more toxic than strontium, not
withstanding that its atomic weight is
less; lithium, the atomic weight of
which is but a twentieth of that of ba-
rum, is yet three times more poisonous.
Even in the, case of the same chemical
family of metals, no relation is found
to exist between atomic weight and
toxicity. Thus cadmium, with an
atomic weight of 112, is just half as
poisonous as zinc, the atomic weight
of which is 65. Lithium, with an atomic
weight of Z, is seventy times more poi
sonOus than sodium. 1t would appear,
therefore, that there is no relation be-
tween the chemical function of body
and its toxic power. Potassium and
sodium, the properties of which are SO
similar, differ widely in their poisonous
effects, one gram of the former being
nearly $50 times more poisonous than
one gram of the latter.

''0f late I have been impressed with
the growing tendency to undomestic

writes q Boston lady to the St Louis
Globe Democrat That Is, n certain
class Of young women who are very dis
tinctive. and who are, in way, the out
growth, the product Of new conditions
OF life. These are the young women in
the professions and in art The latter,
at least here in Boston, numerically
very far overbalance those devoted to
other avocations. There are here doz-
ems OF young women who have their
own stndios and live separate and indie
pendent lives. They are artists in oils,
water-colors, specialists in flower paint
ing, or portrait painters. Crayon por-
traiture is also specially. The ply
sicians are usually, so far at least as 1
know, an older class of women, as
naturally they would be. For we have
no Doctor Zay' as yet, possible as she
is 20 this age. Law has its attractions
for Boston young women, and journal
ism is in high favor-rather fashionable,

something to do-and to do it"

Democratic IS Blundering.o

There is a good deal of afectation
| about the Stalwart belief that the De-
mocracv will be sure to blunder before
the Presidential election and thereby
pave the way for q return of the ina
chine" This notion of Democratic
Z" blundering'' had very little founda-
ton at the start. 1t rested wholly upon
one or two shrewd successes OF Kepub-
lcan leaders in getting Democratic Rep
resentatives in Congress in a false posi-
ton; and it has been kept alive by per-
sistent reiteration. The men who affect
most strongly to believe it coniine them
Sc yes carefully to generalization. They
never, by any chance. point out what
particular ..blunders' they charge upon
the Democracy. though they occasional
ly indulge in specifications as to indi-
vidual Democrats. And while they will
probably keep up the general cry there
is less chance than ever of their going
into specifications. Tor it has been
made clear to them-if ANYTHING ever
was made clear in politics that the real
b underlng has been on the part of the
Republican party, and that the people
have rebuked and punished that blum
dering by recalling to power that same
Democracy which the Sta 'warts thought
forever to exclude by the accusation of
''.blundering.''
But while this accusation has little
foundation and would come, if it had
more. with very i'll grace from the
leaders who have just been punished
for their blunders. it is worth needing.
One learns a good deal from ones en-
emIes; and if the Democracy are not
quite willing to accept this charge asa
rebuke, they can well afford to take it
as warning. Whether they have or
have not Numbered in the past, they
should see to it that there is no blunder-
ing in The future.
There are some plumbers, we fancy,
against which they need no warning.

1t was clear, crisp. frosty morning.
and the prairies glittered in the sun
like frosted emeralds. The cool air
brought faint rose-red to Blanche Arm
old S creamy cheek, and the wonderful
gray eyes. with their changefu, express

tarily raised his eyes to her face start

stared at her with all his might. -
Blanche dropped the voluminous folds
