The Sultan OF Morocco.

II is generally stated and believed tina;
the sultan of Morocco, like the czar, is
at once the temporal and the spiritual
head of his people, but this is not quite
true. Though one Of his many titles il
that OF guardian and commander OF
the true believers" this authority IL
very shadowy-at least as far as the
Kairouin is concern.d-and the sultan
had an opportunity Of Judging some three
years ago of the danger that might re-
suit from his interference in purely
church government. For some reason
or other no commanded that the mokad-
dun, or chief trustee of the university
an Office which has been hereditary in
one family since the death of the Tu-
nisiau Fatna-be dismissed.
This was done, but within three days
there arose such an outcry and hubbub
at the sultan's attempt to exercise un.
wonted authority in church matters that
he very wisely bethought him to an
nounce that in dream the apparition
Of his sainted father had appeared TO
him and requested him TO reinstate the
mokaddum. The mokaddum was rein
stated, and the sultan has never inter
fered again in the affairs OF the univer-
sity.-Fortnightly Review.

Virus and Venom.

The difference between venom and n
virus is very marked. Both are poisons,
and both of organic origin, but venom
IS produced in secreting organs, COM
monty called poison glands, and is intro
auced into the system by means especial
ly adapted for the purpose, such as stings
Or fangs. On the other hand, virus is
The result Of disease or putrefaction, and
generally possesses the property of excit-
ing IN the system into which it is intro
duced the disease which produced the
virus. A virus commonly produces lit
tie, If any, local disturbance; a venom
generally causes great pain, often severe
Inflammation and swelling. Venom has
marked local effect; virus causes a
general disturbance of the system.-St.

EIopement Made Easy.

Young Lewis King Of Palmyra, Ills,
recently left homo for Janesville, Wis,
giving his friends to understand that he
was going to study telegraphy AS a
matter q fact, however, he wanted TO
marry Miss Nellie Ridgeway, but being
himself under age, and thinking the
young lady's parents would oppose the
match, he had arranged to have her fol-
low him to Wisconsin. where they would
be welded. Mr.. Ridgeway learned Of
the pisposed elopement, and instead Of
objecting and locking the young lady
mp he went to the father Of Lewis and
procured his consent to the marriage.
He then took his daughter and went
with her to Wisconsin, saw the young
couple happily married, presented them
with 800 bill and his blessing and re-
turned home.-Cor. st. Louis Republic.

Injuries from CarboIio Acid.

Warnings are given in a German
medical journal against the injury to
skin, and even bone, which may result
from the long continued use of weak
say 8, 21I, or even 3 per cent.-carbo-
lized applications, especially upon periph-
eral portions Of the body, such as the
fingers. This effect, it is asserted, is due
in a small measure to the action of car
bolic acid upon the vasomotor system.
but in the main to its destructive effect
upon the red and white blood corpuscles.
This induces, partly in a mechanical
and partly in chemical way, stasis,
first in the capillaries, and, If the actio,,
Of the drug be continued, then in the
larger veins and arteries, with the result
that the nutrition Of the part is inter-

substances hindered, the maceration Of
the epidermis caused by the acid favors

A horse which had been hauling its
owner around on an improvised sleigh u
day OF two ago was finally, to his great
astonishment, treated to jolly coast
down hill. The outfit had reached the
top of n long hill out near Woodstock,
and as there were no shafts TO the sled
it ran up against the horses heels. He
reared up, and slipping fell over back
ward on the sled. The driver saw him
coming and got ont OF the way. The
stakes at the sides Of the sled held the
horse on, and away he went scooting
down the hill, till finally the sled brought
up on the railroad track. The stakes
were removed, and the horse walked out
uninjured. He was turned about and
hauled the sled and his master up the
hill, which suited him better than the
riding down on his back. The sight Of
the horse going down the incline with
his legs waving in the air was very com
ical.-Portland Oregonian.

The work is done under the most IA

A Eeut I'm Writing.

John j. Taylor, Of StreatOr, Ills., once
wrote 4. 100 words ON the blank side Of n
postal card. This was sent 10 n Chicago
paper, which heralded the story to tho
world as being the most wonderful piece
Of penwork ever executed. AS n matter
Of fuct Mr.. Taylor's effort has been dis
counted ON several occasions Beedle,
the penman Of Ottery St. Mary, Liver
pool, once wrote the following pieces en-
tire, without the slightest abbreviation,
all upon piece Of cardboard b. by 8Il
inches in size: Goldsmith's "Travele',"
"The Deserted Village" Essay on Edu-
cation" ""Distress Of Disabled Soldier" /"
"The Tale Of Aim" Justice" "Gen-
erosity,"" "Irresolution Of Youth, "Frail-
ty Of Man." "Friendship' and the "Ge-
MUS Of Love"
In the center OF the card there was a
perfect picture Of Ottery church, all Of
the shades and lines being formed OF
parts Of the writing. AS n kind OF tale
piece he added the anthem of "GOd Save
the Queen" embellished it with seventy.
two stars, fifty-one crescents and nine
teen crosses, finishing the whole by draw
ing picture Of serpent which inclosed
the whole of the miraculous production.
If you wish to ascertain exactly how
much Beedle's effort exceeded that Of
Mr.. Taylor, count the words in the
Goldsmith pieces catalogued above,-St.

Seen In q Dream.

In the summer of 1855 Mrs. John Tel
yea, then living in Wisconsin, dreamed
that her niece Mary, who was attending
school at Waukesha, % miles distant.
had met with a serious accident, the ex-
act nature Of which she could not recall
when awake, but it 80 alarmed her that
she told her husband the next morning
that he must go Immediately to Wau-
kesha, as something terrible had hap
pened to Mary. He tried to laugh her
out Of her fears, but when he found that
she would go If he did not, he got into
his buggy and started. He had gone but
Q short distance when he met a messen-
ger from the school coming to tell him
that late on the evening before Mary
had fallen from tree and broken her
arm.---Arena.

wha, Natnro Does For Her Trees.

The wild forest trees bear great
abundance of foliage, and this shows
that nature provides for her own in a
most bountiful manner. The inferiority
of the foliage of the mountain trees and
those growing near lakes and rivers is
due to the rich substances contained in
decayed leaves and water forming a
chemical action with the solar rays.
Oxygen, hydrogen. nitrogen, carbonic
acid and the gaseous substances in ma
ture are sufficient to complete the annual
growth of forest trees of all classes
Along the broad reaches Of the north
ern and southern rivers this fact is clear
ly seen and well defined. The rich nav
igable lowland rivers, such as the Thames
in England and the Loire in France, dis
play the richest and most luxuriant
trees.-Boston Transcript.
