preparations walked up to the men.

I'VE are!" they replied in chorus.

one Of the pair.

''Were you telling the solemn truth
when he called you liar?"
II can't say that was"
I'm fact you knew you were lying"

Then why fight because you lied
and he said you lied?"

The Cause of Boils.

A boil may attack any portion of
the body, but it oftener appears on the
neck than on any other part, and no
spot seems to the patient so undesir-
able to have it as the very one upon
which it is located. The causes of
these painful visitations are not well
understood. They occur not only in
the debilitated. but in those who are
seemingly in ordinary health. Some
writers assume that they are the re-
suit of low and depraved state of the
system. induced by general debility,
excessive fatigue, nervous depression,
improper food and exercise. irregu-
larity of the functions of the body and
the like. Not infrequently they appear
in athletes while training. There are
certain diseases. among them diabetes,
during the course of which boils,
singly or in crops. are quite apt to
occur. They are also noted in skin
affections which are characterized by
severe itching: the constant irritation
of the skin seems to invite their ap-
pearance. Certain medicines, when
used externally, are capable of pro-
ducing an eruption of boils. One
writer says: TO Judge from previous
observations. l think may state that
individuals who have a rough skin,
thick. dark hair. and vigorous growth
of hair. are more predisposed to the
formation of furuncles." Boston Jour
nal of Health.

Bold Sportsmen Who RisIked Their Live

Bold Sportsmen Who Risked Their Lives
for the Sake Of . Bite.
During the siege of Paris. in spite
of the shells that sang overhead and
of the Prussian sentinels on the LOOKOUT
for a mark, a great many of these bold
sportsmen risked their lives outside the
city Notifications and went taquine1
Le goujon on the banks of the Seine.
These are the enthusiastic anglers
who count the days and nights to the
opening day, and who pass the of
season in state of settled melancholy.
These are the men who know every
inch of the rivers banks and the
holes in which the quarry lies hid,
and who stand motionless hour after
hour, holding their breath, heed
less of rain, wind and sun, half mes
merized by the gentle bobbing of the
float on which their eyes are fixed.
They will pass the night under a hay
stack in order to secure at the first
streak of dawn a good place where
some legendary bite had occurred and
which they have carefully ground
baited over night Though a careful
man, the French fisherman never sells
the contents of his basket; he fishes
for his family; and the proudest hour
of the day. second only to the raptur-
Gus moment of capture, is when he
sees the "friture" placed upon the
table. The gudgeon, the roach, the
eel the tench, the barbel, the carp,
the perch and the pike are all welcome
to the anglers paste or maggot, for
fly fishing he considers frivolous, and
as requiring skill that is out of place
in SO serious pursuit But although
the net has almost swept the French
rivers clear of fish, it is against the
modest angler that the law has fulmi-
mated its edicts. The fisherman may
not make use of more than one line,
and may only have one hook at the
end of that line, he may not put his
rod on the ground. but must hold it in
his hand; he is bound to leave the
river at sunset and may not begin to
fish till sunrise. the Year Round.

THE WEATHER PLANT.
A Peculiar Member Of the GOoseberfy
and Blue Rose Family.

n
and Blue Rose Family.
We have had so many inquiries
about this. and our friends have sent
us so many newspaper cuttings refer
ring to it. that we think it right to
state that the plant in question be-
longs to the same family as the extra
ordinary gooseberry and the blue rose.
All plants, to be precise, all proto-
plasm, is sensitive to physical inn
pressions, in some instances more SO
than others. That the plant in ques-
ton should be able to forecast the
state of the weather and give presage
of earthquakes is nothing compared to
what is narrated in old books as to
the constituencies, if we remembe-
right, of some species of oxalis, the
leaves of which closed at the approach
of the wicked and vicious, but re-
manned unaffected in the presence Of
the pure and virtuous. The weather
plant is no other than the well-known
Abrus precdtoriHs, sometimes called
the Paternoster pea, the seeds of
which are like small beans, but of .
brilliant scarlet, with a patch Of black
at one end. They are used for beads
and rosaries (whence the name), and
also for diamond weights. the weight
of the Koh-i-noor having been ascer-
tanned by their means. The pinnate
leaves of the plant are, no doubt sem
sitive to light, heat, electricity or any
other force that would alter the ten
sion of their protoplasm. The state
ment that an observatory has discard
ed both aneroid and mercurial
barometers in favor Of the weather
plant as an indicator of forthcom.
ing weather is one Of those
statements that We should receive
with an open mind. SO that what
passed into one ear might speedily es-
cape by the other. When We receive
information from some other source
than newspaper gossip we shall be
bound to accord the matter more con-
sideration. Csroniele.

How Hoe. the Printing-Press Man, Was
Saved from Starvation.
All the world has heard of Hoes

so much to make books cheap. The
founder of the business was Robert
Hoe. young English carpenter. The
story of his arrival in New York is
thus related by the man who saw him,
stranger. and took him in, little
dreaming of the kindness he was doing
to mankind in general:
In 1903 the yellow fever swept the
streets of New York like a Turkish
plague. l kept grocery store, and
one afternoon was sitting outside the
door with one of my children BY my
side. i saw strange man coming
along and reading the signs.
.Mr. Thornburn p" said he.
Where did you get my name P"
said I.
II read it on the sign-board.' said
he; and he continued: Il am just come
on shore from the ship Dragon from

but can't get work on account Of the
fever. II you can tell me where to

"Good wife," said 1, 'ta stranger

"If thee pleaseth," she replied.

"Thank you, my DEAR" said L
'.For this God will bless you"
Within week he was down with

the fourth day of the fever he was

end would justify the means. Il hope
to see you marry one of our bonnie
Yankee lasses. and to carry your grand
child in my arms"

why Warm Water ID Not Wanted for
livestock in Winter.
A notion sometimes gets start and
becomes epidemic before the fact is
discovered that it has little or nothing
to recommend it. One craze after an
other has its rise and fall Farmers
and dairymen are, perhaps. as free
from such comet-l;ke notions as
any class of people, and yet we must
occasionally take our turn with the
rest. 1t is claimed from ex-
periments made by reliable dairymen
that COWS will give more milk when
furnished with warm drinking water.
Admitting that they may yield more.
for a season, is it conclusive evidence
in favor of the method? 1t is claimed
py certain men that they can do fourth
more work in day if allowed
to take a few glasses of alcoholic
liquor daily. Doubtless the state
ment may hold true, for season, with
the class of men referred to. A horse

than he could without it. Are we sure
that there is no similarity or truthful
ness in these comparisons. May not
the apparent benefit derived come
from a leaning in the direction of the
''forcing" systems, which strains the
vital forces for short period only to
invite disease and hasten the prema-
ture wreck? would not claim to
speak with authority on this phase of
the subject, but think the point worth
attention of those whose chief .argu-
ment rests on the milk-pail test made
only for a short time.
believe the thing of first and most
lasting Importance in the care of live
stock, dairy animals or not, is to keep
the health of the animal constantly in
view. With the dairyman who has
done all he can in other directions for
the comfort and health of his animals,
the question hinges on whether there
is nothing weakening or enervating in
the lOng-continued use of warm water,
or whether the animals need for such
drink is sufficiently great to- pay the
expense. A COW unaccustomed to warm
drink will generally take cool water
in preference, if allowed the privilege
of choosing. But after she has formed
the habit of using the former, there
may be danger of it slipping down the
throat SO agreeably as to cause her to
overfill the stomach and weaken her
power of digestion. l prefer to give
no water to cattle any colder than ii
is when coming from deep, unfrozen
earth. judge of the animals wants
somewhat by my own. l never have
seen day SO cold as to tempt me to
take glass of tepid water IN prefer
ence to one directly from the deep well
or spring. Neither do care for ice
water in midsummer. l do not think
it wholesome as drink for man. If
did. | might recommend it for animals,
and try to create a craze in that direc-
ton. The earth gives forth water of
about the same temperature, both
winter and summer. and l believe the
Giver of it tempered it about right to
meet the wants of His creatures
