40. Lnr, Hit I'm AGAIN.,

In the early days of Methodism in Scot
land, certain congregation, where there
was but one rich man, desired TO build new
chapel. A church meeting was held. The
old rich Scotchman rose and said: ''Breth-

Are Human Bites Poisonous?

The views of the New England Medical
Monthly on this subject are contained in the
following editorial: The comments of the
Lancet on a case o alleged death following
the bite OF an epileptic patient suggest the
inquiry as to whether such bites are followed
by more disastrous effects than wounds of
any other character. There is some evidence
TO show that such is the case. 1t is a we'll
tions, such as fear, anger, etc, is to produce
changes in the character of the secretions,
the nature of which we do not vet under
stand. An example of this is the fatal effect
upon children of milk nursed from mothers
who were suffering from intense mental dis
turbance. In addition, it has been remarked
by those having a large experience that
cellulltlS is very apt to cOmplicate wOJnds
inflicted by the human teeth. AbrasiOns
of the doTsal surface of the fingers caused
by blows against the teeth, seem especially
apt to take on an unhealthy aspect. Whether
this be due 10 the locality of the injury, the
constitution of the patient, or some pecul-
lar poison with which the wound had been
inoculated at the time. it is impos sible to
say Some time since Pasteur made the
discovery that human saliva possessed
poisonous qualities, bat whether his expert
ments have been since verified we have no.
learned. Many will doubtless hesitate to ac-
cept his conclusions. especially if they have
not met with cases of this ma .ure. Other
will be led by their experience to unhesi-
tatingly accept them, for, practically as well
as theoretically, the theory that, under GER
tain conditions, the bite of the human being
is dangerous, is very plausible one.

Webster,s Audience of Two.

Here is a new anecdote of Webster. II
was told by the late Colonel Munford, who
was at one time secretary of the Virginia
commonwealth, and il has never been pub
lished:
Colonel Munford was in his Office at the
State House one day, when distinguished
looking man, accompanied by young lady,
came in and asked if they could see the lie z
islative chambers Colonel Munford at once
recognized, from portraits seen, the face OF
Webster, and, wishing to see as much of the
great statesman as possible. offered to accom-
pany him through the State House. The
young lady seemed to be a relative of Web
ster, and was very bright and piquant in her
conversation. There was a constant fire OF
clever repartee between the two, and when
the party reached the senate chamber the
young lady. turning to him. exclaimed:
Now, everybody says you are a great
man, and can make a speech without any
preparation. l want you to prove it, AS
she said this she moved to the rostrum, and
took possession of the presidents chair. "The
house will please come to order. The gentle
man from Neutrality-suspicious. the floor"

the incident, took, as ii by instinct, the
most favorable position in the room. so that
his voice could best be heard, and for ten or
fifteen minutes he spoke with an eloquence

her sons, he pointed out their portraits that
hung on the walls, and described their traits
in the most beautiful language imaginable
Colonel Munford frequently told his friends
that ii was the best speech he ever listened

Help For the Future.

A well-known journalist recently advised
all boys and girls at once to begin keeping
scrap-book in which they should set down
descriptions of any noteworthy place or
scene which comes in their way; also ac-
counts of any remarkable person whom they
met, with their photographs, or little per-
sonal details
sin thirty years" he says, ''such a book
will be invaluable to the owner, especially if
he is journalist or literary man."
The most trihing details in such book as
Pepys' Diary on the Memoirs o. Madame de
Remusat, are read now with keen interest, as
they make flesh and blood of historical char
acters who else would be but shadows to us.
There are other habits which boys and girls
can cultivate that will be OF incalculable Use
to them hereafter.
Frederick Robertson made it rule at ten
years of age, to commit one or two verses of
Scripture to memory, every morning while
he was dressing, and keptit up all his life.
1t became the daily bread OF life to him in
his years of suffering.
Benjamin Franklin counted that day lost
in which he had not mastered a sentence in
a foreign tongue.
Certain families in Virginia have adhered
for generations to the custom of putting be-
side each childS bed some little gift which
would be pleasant surprise in the morning.
The gifts are of little or no value; fruit or
flower or picture cut from paper. But the
child wakens to the consciousness of a watch
full, tender love- with its first sight of the
day.
Delcamp, most cheerful o. philosophers,
prepared such pleasure for himself when he
was boy 81 always managed to have some
thing pleasant to which could look forward

The Germans with tho same purpose in
view, observe all birthdays and other ami
versaries in the family, and crowd into the
daily life many cheap, simple pleasures as
possible. Ii American young people woU
initiate these homely, cheerful customs, our
households would be more happy, and we
should hear of fewer deaths from overwork

TWO CoN0UERORs.
JAMES c. CLARK.

Twas midnight on the tented plain,
The-din OF strife had died away
And tangled IN the lions name
The captive cOrsican eagle lay:
No more mid shout OF vic DRY won
His piniOnS climbed the morning light.
The splendOr of his nOOnday sun
Was quenched in swift and awful Dight;
They bore bin in his iron cage
To stern Helena's IOck-walled shore,
To beat the bars with baiiied rage
In answer to the oceans roar.
There, haunted by the orphans shrek.
TIE widows curse the mothers moan,
With battered wings and muZZled beak
The bird Of doom was left alone:
And when he died the pent-up wrath
OF Nature burst in flame and Hood
As if to cleanse the blackened path
Whose rule was born OF woe and blood;
And Freedom viii his name record
With those who bore her nsIre in vain
Who raised on high the vic.Ors sword,
But forged for man a tyrant's chain.
o. silent man. whose mighty deeds
AwOke the land from dumb despair,
Who was responsive TO our needs
In answer to the nations prayer
Whose trustful manhood, warm and true,
Through every act and impulse ran,
TIL foes whom war could not subSide
Surrendered TO the kindly Man
o. Master of each stOried field
Where mortal man with thee has striven,
Till death itself was forced to .eld
And fly before thv fifth in heaven
When every battle-hag is iurled.
And love has wiped away our tears.
When songs of peace shall thrill the world,
Thy life will tower above the years
Like some calm mountain-crOwned with snow:
Which Ger the storm OF summer shine
From whose green heart a river flows,
And DER whose feet the myrtles twine;
And Freedom : hand shall write thy name
Among the few bright names of time
That glow with cOnquerOr's fame,
UnclOuded by a cOnqueror's crime.
