The Use of Old TOYS,

A little girl sits before me in the
middle of a large rug playing with
toys. 1t is a curious sight. She
finds a vast pleasure in what to me
seems insignificant. Out of the play
room she has brought vast number
of fragments of all sorts of mechan-
isms, Of trumpets, mouth organs and
other musical instruments; pieces of
engines and broken trains of cars
blocks that belonged at one time in
well designed blockhouses. Just now
her fingers and eyes are busy with
the smokestack of "Wredens en-
CINE" l remember how my now
eleven-year-old boy leased for that
engine. l did not like a steam ex-
plosive about, but at last was weak
enough to yield. bought the en-
CINE, and heard the steam phiz for a
few weeks. No accident occurred,
and l had quite forgotten the toy.
But here it is, pulled to pieces, l pre-
sumo to use parts of it for some
other invention. MARY E. Spencer

The Most Deadly Poison.

Said well known ST. Louis chem
list: There are very few people who
fully understand the action of hydro
cyanic or prussic acid. It is the
deadliest poison today known to the
chemist, and its manufacture in pure
form is absolutely prohibited by law.
The acid is made from peach leaves
and peach kernels, the latter being
better known as bitter almonds
though a modified form of it is
evolved from wild cherry bark, and
is used in sirups to subdue coughs
The diluted form employed for pre-
scriptions is kept in a tightly closed
bottle and case, and of course is
rarely drawn upon. Six drops Of
prussic acid in half a glass of water
will produce death in a second, Der.
haps before the suicide has time to
set down the glass. It's fumes alone
will bring instant death.

posed Of ferrocyanide of potash sui

proportions are about 2 per cent.
acid and So per cent. water, alcohol
and sulphuric acid. It is this enor-
nous proportion of water which
gives to it the name of hydrocyanic,
which signifies nearly all water.
Another interesting fact about
prussic acid is that it's presence can
not be discovered in the body. It's
action is directly upon the blood,
which it turns black. It then rap
idly evaporates, and in few hours
the blood returns to a condition Incl
dent to natural death. This is why

The Diet of n Porcupine,

you don't have to skirnish
Sround much to get feed to fatten
One of these hemlock porcupines
on" says an old Potter county
woodsman. Just sprinkle some
salt over a stick of cordwood, or saw
log for that matter, and he'll eat the
whole business and enjoy it like you
would mince pie" The customary
diet of these animals is hemlock
browse. They make themselves a
home in a hollow log or under the
roots of some old tree, but always
within reach of big hemlock.
The hemlock is their pasture, and
they make beaten paths going to
and fro between the tree and their
home. Once up in tree the porcu-
pine goes out on the big limbs, and
pulling the small branches in with
one paw browses on the pungent
leaves. In going through the woods
you will find little piles of these fine
leaves on the ground under hemlock
trees. That means that porcupine
is feeding in the tree, the leaves on
the ground being dropped from his
feast.
Sometimes porcupine will re-
main in a hemlock tree for a week
at time, hugging close to the trunk
at night and feeding during the day.
This curious little beast is the only
known living thing that eats the
foliage of the hemlock. -Philadel-

children in the Caucasus Mountains.

Among the wilder tribes of the
Caucasus every child is taught to use
the dagger almost as soon as he can
walk. They first learn to stab water
without making a splash, and by
practice acquire an extraordinary
command over the weapon. Their
pistols are tiintlocks, with long, very
thin barrels, and must have been
handed down for generations. They
do not look very formidable The
rows of little pouches worn across
the breast do not contain cartridges.
