Hunger and Infection.

1t is a well-known fact that hunger
predisposes to certain diseases, but it has
been reserved to two Turin doctors to
demonstrate the increased liability ex-

carried out with the virus of bacillus
anthrax on pigeons, disease to which
these birds are, under ordinary circum-
stances. refractory. They found, how
ever, that six days. total deprivation of
food rendered the birds amenable to the
virus, on condition that food was still
withheld. If, however, food was given
at the same time as the virus, then they
still successfully resisted infection. Fur
ther, when starvation was continued for
two days after the incubation: and food
then given, the development of the dis
ease, though not prevented, ran slower
course. Lastly, the virus proved capa-

A RiShOD at a Prize Fipht f.

It is not often that bishop is called on to give his assistance in carrying on a prize fight, but such was the actual experience of the Bishop of Bedford. The other evening the bishop was ad dressing meeting in the east end of London, and related the following reminiscence of the time when he was rector of Spitalfields. On one occa- sion there happened to be a fight going on just outside the church door, and as the rector was observed passing by, he was called on to give his assistance as referee. The question the combat ants wanted settled was whether one of the pugilsts was capable or incapa ble of sustaining another round.
 Since was appointed referee" said the bishop, 'I was bound to speak the truth, and gave it as my opinion that one of the parties, with a rather varie- gated countenance, was capable of another round. They were, therefore, just squaring up to finish the bout, when the police happily appeared upon the scene, and I was relieved of my functions. have never assisted at a street fight since. ."-London Tit-Bits.

High Priced COrks.

Champagne corks of the finest qual- ity cost about cent apiece wholesale. To the eye of the ordinary observer they do not greatly differ in quality from other corks, but as a matter of fact they are in a great many ways pe- culiar. The great champagne houses often engage the whole output of cork cutting establishments in Spain and Portugal. These corks must be of the best bark, and the most skillful cutters are employed in their manufacture, while the same is true of all corks used with the finer wines. There has been a marked advance in the, manufacture of corks within the last twenty five years, but champagne corks are made just as they were when the first cham pagne was bottled
 Less than generation ago the idea of a cork cutting machine was secuted. Now most of the corks used for ordi- nary purposes are made by machinery, and they are turned out by the million at such prices that the hand cork cut ters of this country have been almost entirely driven out of business New York Sun

The Bull and the Painter.

Up on George Gould's place, at Fur tough lake, in the Catskills. is stocky young Jersey bull, as full of vim and energy as steam engine. A few days ago some painters from Margaretsville were painting a cottage on the place and had to pass through the pasture where the bull was browsing. One of the painters carried a red paint pot, which caught the bulls eye He pre- pared for business at once and charged on the painters, believing loudly They saw him coming and scampered for dear life. He singled out the painter with the red paint pot and gave him chase, driving him up tree.
 As the man sprang into the tree he dropped the paint pot. upon which the bull proceeded to vent his rage. He spattered the paint, which was bright yellow, all over his forelegs, shoulders and head. and from being black bull he shortly became golden colored one. After he had used up the paint pot he turned his attention again to the painter in the tree and quietly proceeded to watch him. After keeping him up the tree for about an hour Jim Gibbons Gould's head hostler, came and whacked the bull soundly with a blacksnake whip and drove him into pen, allow ing the frightened painter to come down from his perch.
 The bull was then chained, and two stout hostlers washed him down with spirits of turpentine to get the paint of. The turpentine smarted and made him below and roar in a frightful man. ner. Gibbons said he did not know which got the most fun out of the ad- venture, the bull or the painter, but he is certain the bull will have a sore hide for week to come. New York World

Apple Trees Around London.

Many apple trees in London subur> ban gardens are in danger of extino- tion. This is thousand pities. be- cause the apple tree, apart from the attacks of caterpillars and some Iiabil- ity to American blight. not only lives and grows in London gardens, but will bear abundant fruit Up till the past four or five years it has been quite com mon to find fairly well loaded apple trees in hundreds of London suburban gardens.
 Latterly, however, year after year the foliage has no sooner developed than it has been attacked by myriads of caterpillars. and everywhere round the metropolis may now be seen apple trees apparently all sere and dead The scanty brown shriveled foliage left upon them will presently fall, and an other crop of leaves will appear; but the trees have been crippled and weak ened, and this being repeated year after year must eventually kill the trees-in- deed. many have been killed already.

Where to Preach SimplicitY.

It is quite philosophical to advocate plain habits of living, plain clothes and simple desires as productive of the greatest satisfaction in life, but to a man born when this century was about to reach the half mile post; to man who has lived in this country all his life; in brief, to an American of today, the argument is a good deal of a bore. One day among the shop windows of any city in the United States, or an hour amid the noise and jingle of any busy street in any city between the two oceans, will convince any fair minded man that the place to preach the simple. humble doctrine is away out on some prairie, or in the midst of some grand old forest, where nature has the best end of things.

Terrible Mistake Made by Fond and

Terrible Mistake Made by a Fond and
 Loving Mother in Training n Child.
 Margaret Paget was q young girl of no especial mental force, nor on the other hand, of any decided stupidity, who was blessed. if one may so regard it in this case, with a mother of excep- tional ability. The mother had written many brilliant literary papers.
 Margaret's father was dead. When the child went to school her mother be- gan to perform her tasks for her. As the time went by, therefore, the girl be- came more and more dependent upon her mother. Through the failure to develop her own powers she seemed to be able to do nothing on her own ac- count
 All this of course left Margaret very lily grounded in all her studies, and re- f1ected upon her standing in her ex- aminations, so that she made slow progress. At last the mother ashamed to see her lag behind, took her out of school and made weak pretense of in structing her at home.
 Margaret was pretty and amiable, and when she had become, eighteen years old her hand was asked in mar riage by a worthy young man.
 The mother gave a conditional con- sent, and. as the young man lived at some distance, a correspondence was begun, of course under the eye of the mother.
 It was then that the mother realized how defective her daughters educa- tion had been. She was unable to write a creditable letter. Her mes sages, as she showed them to her moth CT, were ill thought, i'll expressed, even i'll spelled.
 ''This will never do," said the moth CT. She began to write her daughters responses to the letters of the young man to whom she was betrothed. Her own wit and felicity of expression char acterized them, and the young man was charmed. Once embarked upon such course of deceit, the mother dared not make a confession. The young man himself Was an excellent writer, and his letters spurred the mother to her most brilliant efforts as correspondent.
 After this charming correspondence the young people were married. Neither the mother nor the daughter dared con- fess the fraud Neither had meant much' at the beginning, but both had gone very deep into course of decep- tion.
 The young husband was soon aston ished to find that his wife was an igno. rant person, incapable of writing even sensible letter. He questioned he1 sharply and she confessed her fault Mamma always does things for me, , she said helplessly.
 | The husband found his wife also in capable of caring for a household. She presently sent for her mother to come and live with her, though the husband having had so forcible s lesson as to her deceitfulness, could only regard he1 with suspicion and dislike.
 The marriage was an unhappy one The whole lives of two young people had been utterly spoiled by this tend ency on the part of a mother to spare her child unpleasant tasks and deprive her of the nourishing, inspiring veal and tear of self help Youths Com panion.

Amber in the Time of Homer.

The earliest notice of amber we find occurs in the Odyssey of Homer, where ''the s id necklace hung with bits of amber" is mentioned in the list of jewels offered by the Phenician traders to the queen of Syria. In one of the Greek fables accounting for the origin of amber it related that the sisters of Phaeton, called the Helidae, on seeing their brother hurled by the lightning of love into the Eridanus, were trans formed by the pitying gods into poplar trees, and the tears they shed were dropped as amber on the shores of the river.-Philadelphi Times.

Recovering Silver Money,

A few days ago an old colored man from across the Potomac in Virginia brought to the treasury an eNtraordi- nary looking lump of metal. He said that it was lot of silver dollars. halves and quarters, which he had put in tin can some years back and hidden in the stone wall of a barn by removing a stone and clustering up the oritice. When recently he took out the box he found that trickling water had rusted it almost away, covering the coins with oxide of iron and sticking them together in mass. Assistant Treasurer Whelp- ley had the lump put into acid and treated with lye and sawdust, so that the silver pieces came out as pretty and bright as when they were lninted, and the old man carried them away de- lighted.
