Poisonous Honey.

A friend tells us that the honey made
by bees from the Towering shrub,
AndrOmenda Melissa, popularity called
"kiIl-calf," is very poisonous. This
plant is common in the sandy soil of
Long Island, and also from New Jeasey
to Florida. 1t grows from two to three
feet high, resembles the upland buckle
berry in appearance and fruit, and is
often mistaken for 1t. A spoonful of
the honey produces a burning sensation
in the mouth, throat and stomach, and
produces vomiting and paralysis if much
be taken. Although this plant is COM
mon over much of the country, it is
likely that in most places it is not SO
abundant as to furnish much food for
bees; but in Long Island, in the neigh
borhood of our friends home, it grows
extensively over several miles Of land,
and other flowers that produce honey
are so scarce that the bees may make a
greater use of the '1dll-calf' here than
elsewhere. Herald of Health.

Cutting q Fork Out Of a Stomach.

A novel and dangerous operation has
just been performed in Paris by DR.. Pol
ailion. The patient was q mountebank
named Luchon, who, in the pursuit OF
his calling, swallowed a large fork,
which stuck fast in his stomach. 1t was
in vain that he tried to get his fingers
down to the tips of the fork, so he had
to leave it there, in the hope that no
harm would ensue. In few days, how
ever, he felt acute pains particularly when
his stomach was without food. DR..
Polaillon was unable to find the position
of the fork by means of the ordinary
sounding instrument, so he employed
another, with which he contrived to
touch the prongs. He then made an in
cision in the mans abdomen and ex-
tracted the fork. In his report to the
Academy on the subject, DR.. Polaillon
enumerates fourteen cases of similar
kind, in seven of which the fork only
formed an abcess in the stomach. Lon

Renewing Its YIgor.

suvius furnishes an example Of .
volcano whose activity has been increas-
ing instead of diminishing during the
last 1000 years. At the beginning of the
Christian era the mountains fires seemed
to have been long burned out forever,
and the eruption which buried POmpeii,
and Herculaneum in tho year 70 was the
first known. The next outbreak wasnot
until 1895, and thereafter several came
at intervals of century or more, but
since 1881 the eruptions have been very
numerous.

A Big Volcanic Wave

The Krakatoa eruption which, two
years ago, devastated large part of the
island of Java, was aided in its deadly
work by a volcanic wave, one hundred
and twenty feet high. Incredible as
seems this stupendous assertion, it is sup
ported by a reasonable inference from
two or three facts.
At the Marak stone quarries there is a
hill one hundred feet high overlooking
the sea, on which the resident engineer
had erected large brick house. This
massive building was RACED to the ground
by the volcanic wave. 1t washed away
the walls as neatly as if they had been
sliced off with knife, leaving nothing
but the marble floors, which rested ON
the strong foundations. The English
chaplain at Bataira, who explored the
devastated district, met a Javanese la
borer, one Of the survivors of the deluge.
On the fatal day, as he was working in a
rice-feld, long way from the sea-coast,
he heard noise. Looking around, he
saw "a great black thing long way off
coming towa;d u.s."
1T was very high" he said, "and we

managed to get a long way up. The
water came very near me- looked back
and saw the waves wash the people
down, as they tried to scramble out Of
the way. There was general rush to
climb up in one particular place. This
caused great block. Many got wedged
together, and could not move. Then
they struggled and fought, screaming
and crying. Those below tried to make
those above them move on by biting
their heels. For a few minutes there
was great struggle, then all was over
One after another they were all washed

Human Tigers.

We have before us the tiger of the
human species. To no tribe in America
can these remarks apply with more force
than to the Apaches of Arizona. To see
them, as they first appeared to the white
men-half clad, half fed, covered with
vermin, with no semblance of property
beyond the rude arms with which they
doggedly waged war against Implying
nature--it was easy to believe, and many
Americans did believe, that nothing
could be more easily effected than their
extermination or subsection. 1t has
taken the expenditure of countless
treasure and blood to demonstrate
that these naked Indians were the
most thoroughly individualized soldiers
on the globe; that each was an army in
himself, waiting for orders from no su-
periors-thoroughly confident in his own
judgment, and never at a loss to know
when to attack or when to retreat. The
Apache can be compared most aptly to
the wild animal he fittingly calls his
cousin--the coyote. The civilized set
Elements are his sheepfolds, and even
surprising that toilsome campaign re-
suits in destroying forty out of band of
fifty, the survivors are as much to be
dreaded as ever, until the very last one
can be run down, killed, or got under
control, and taught to labor for his
bread. = General Crook.

ONLY.

Only Q cloud in the summer day,
And the oak in the shadow bowed low its
head,
While the bird in it, branches with bosom
red,
Sang from its nest soft lullaby.
Only a fash of lightning at even,
From cloud that had lowered all day in
sight
And the oak lay shattered, struck down in
its might;
But the bird, still singing, few toward
heaven.
Only a cloud in the heart OF man,
Yet the strong frame bowed down meath
the chill and gloom,
Till his spirit had whispered, ''be brave, for
soon
Success shall crown each purpose, each planp
Only fash; CLEAN of deaths rod
So vivid so brief, like dream that is DER;
The body is dust, shall be dust evermore,
But the soul set free rises up to God.

The eye stone is really the front door
of a sea snail found on the South Amer
lean coast. Thousands of people believe
that these bits of shell are alive, from
the fact that they will move when placed
in vinegar. The philosophical explana-
ton of the movement is that the acid,
acting upon the substance of the shell,
generates little bubbles of gas, which
force 1t along through the fluid. When
you pick out an eye stone be sure to get
one with grooves on the fat side. Those
that are smooth all over are taken from
