Ant Alteration.

ALTERATION is very common, says s.
T. Bengough in Poet Law, in simple
Saxon phrases which we are using
every hour. We speak of making up
our minds" taking by turns" "wag-
ing war; ''rallying round" running
riot" running a risk" etc. The same
artifce gives forth to antithetical
words: Make or mar" peer and
peasant" grave and gay" foul and
fair" sweet and sour" friend and
foe and so on ad libitum. Proverbs,
which have been said to embody the
wisdom Of many in the wit of one,
abound in illustration of the same rac-
tice: lone swallow does not make a sum
mer;" Waste not, want not;'' thine
and tide wait for no man. "a cat may
look at a king" Every dog has his
day" and so forth.

London women are better off than

There is a sanitarium for those invalid

fox terrier Cracknel, for which three

A Desperate Situation.

In my younger days, says an Oriental
traveller, l acquired q taste for country
sports, and when went to India, where
field recreations were Of more serious
kind, soon became expert at hunting
the jackal, leopard, and tiger; but it
was not for year that tried my hand
at elephant hunting.
When the eventful day arrived was
assigned to an elephant, and when the
party reached the grove Tagore, an ex-
pert elephant hunter, called my atten.
ton to q tremendous fellow which wo
at once attempted to capture. Allow
ing our trained elephants to attract tho
wild elephants notice, Tagore skillfully
fastened a rope around his leg and to
large tree. and then we retreated to
the rear and waited for him to tire
himself out. Instead Of that he broke
the rope and made for us; and, as my
elephant stood stock still as If paralyzed
nearest tree, while Tagore and the 9TH
ers ran for their lives. Imagined that
l was secure for the time being; but, to
my horror, the elephant began to bat
ter the tree with his head, and with
such violence that was nearly shaken
from my perch. Finding that l still
chung on, the animal changed his tao
ties and began tearing up the tree BY
the roots. l saw the tree would soon
fall, and could perceive no possibility Of
escape.
Finally, having loosened the roots. the
beast again began to push again with
his head, and I felt the tree yielding to
the pressure. l fairly shrieked In de-
spair as felt it falling, but to my in
expressible joy, the tree fell against a
much larger one, and the topmost
branches become entan9led. I quickly
scrambled into the new place of refuge,
and then think my nerves must have
given way, as remember nothing more
until heard the sound OF firing below,
and found that Tagore and his men had
returned to my rescue and driven away
my besieger. But have not cared to
hunt elephants since that day.

No doubt the recent famine in Russia
was principally due to want OF irriRa-
ton. The usual process. OF carrying
irrigation works from neighboring
streams is too costly and slow, and be-
sides is quite inn racticable in South
Russia, on account Of excessive small
falls in all the rivers in this part Of the
country. The streams, moreover, have
very little water during tie summer
months, when the irrigation is princi-
pally wanted. Now in several parts OF
Siberia the water obtained from melt
ing snow is used for irrigation. The
climate Of these parts is quite continent
tel, with very hot, dry summer, Sc
vbre winter, with plentiful falls OF snow.
The snow irrigation Is managed in tho
following manner: At the first warm
winter day after plentiful snowfall,
the whole village, not excepting women
and youngsters, meet at previously
appointed spot in the field situated on .
slope Of hill. One portion, consisting
of strong men, collect and carry the
snow to form large bank. while others
press the snow down and spread IT
evenly. This operation Is repeated se7-
eral times during the winter, and by
spring a large bank Of compressed snow
is formed, q d1zen feet deep and weigh
ing several hundred tons. With the
first approach Of spring, the snow bank
is covered with pine branches, straw
and dung: ii such material Is not at
hand, earth and sand are used as COW
ering, but in the latter case the layer
has to be about eighteen inches thick.
The same plan of irrigation would be
quite applicable to Russia, aud fol-
countries where snow falls in album
dance. For regulating the flow Of water
from melting snow in the bank, ditch
is managed DE- che low side OF the
bank with two openings. Q to be ,0ed
as ali overflow, in case the water Is moi
wanted for irrigation, the other leads to
the irrigation ditch distributing thu
water On the felds.

Some Efhcient AntidOtes.

In every case OF poisoning an
emetic should be given as quickly as
possible, to remove from the stomach
Is much of the poison as can be
taken out. The subsequent treat
ment varies according to the nature
Of the poison. For arsenic in any of
its forms the hydrated sequi-oxide of
iron, chalk, or magnesia and castor
oil should be administered; for lead
or copper poisoning, no matter by
what compound of the metals, sweet
milk. the white Of eggs, sweet oil and
mucilaginous drinks are the best
treatment For I've, soda, potash or
ammonia, vinegar, oil or warm lard.
with white Of egg. followed by mus
tard and ipecac in warm water. For
nuX vomica or strychnine, tauric acid
or creosote, any kind Of oil in liberal
doses. For oxalic, nitric, and other
caustic acids, soda, chalk, lime, fol-
lowed by oil and emulsions. For the
narcotic posons, cold applications
and strong coffee must be given and
the patient kept in constant motion
to overcome the tendency to stupor.
Sometimes as in the case of chloro-
form against strychnine, one poison
may be made to counterfeit another.
This is illustrated by phosphorus, the
antidote to which is blue vitrOl in
large quantities to empty the stomach,
hydrated magnesia and French oil Of

remedy is starch swallowed by hand

Too MANY Words,

Most of us talk too much even
when in perfect health. When ill or
nervous this driveling speech becomes
indeed a burden. The tired brain
droops under the flood of superHuous
words, climbs YEARLY over the gaps
OF words omitted and stumbling
blocks OF words misplaced, allows for
known peculiarities. illumines by
past experience, winnows the words
and picks out the thOught-Only to
find it some totally irrelevant state
ment, some mere overflow OF low
banked brain, that need not have
been said at all.

Where Was He At?

Gen. Knyphausen, who commanded
the Hessan mercenarics in America,
in l776, knew little Of the sea. and
less of geography. On the voyage to
America, he was on board Lord Howe's
ship, where he passed several uncom-
Portable weeks, as the voyage was I'M
usually long. Knyphausen had the
strongest scruples against interfering.
but the time came when he could
keep silence no longer. He marched
stitiiy up to the admiral and said:
"My lord, know it is the duty OF
a soldier to be submissive at sea, but
being intrusted with the troops OF
his serene highness, my master, I
feel it my duty to inquire if it be not
possible that. during the extremely
dark nights We have lately had, we
may have sailed past American"

The sure and Safe Guide.

II one really desires to learn how
to live right the word OF GCd in
the Bible will enable him to do it.
For one who would ascertain what to
do with his. thoughts, feelings and
conduct towards his fellowmen, or to
himself individually. in the house.
hold, or civic affairs, in business or
economical matters, there is no book
in the wide world which contains so
much and such varied information as
the Bible. When one asks, "How
shall l be a better man." he finds
that question better answered in the
word Of God than anywhere else.
There may be things in it as to which
there are differences Of opinion, but
on the subject of essential and true
manhood there is no difference of
opinion. On this matter the Roman
Catholic Church and the Protestant
Church see eye to eye. The sectS
may differ about philosophers and
