Poison Prnnf Animnla.

Neither differences Of organization In
animals nor in the constitution Of the
poisonous substance generally afford any
clew for interpretingan exceptional want OF
effect. Unaccountabie is the immunity Of
rabbits against belladonna leaves (Atropa
bclladonna, deadly nightshade). You may
feed them with belladonna for weeks with
out observing the least toxic symptoms.
The meat Of such animals, however, proves
poisonous tO any one who eats it, produc
lng the same symptoms as the plant
Pigeons and various other herbiyora arc
also to some degree safe from the effects of
this poison, while in warm blooded carniy-
ora it causes paralysis and aSphyXia. In
frogs the effect is a different one, consist
ing of spasms The meat of goats which
had fed on hcmlock has sometimes oCca-
stoned poisonous effects. Chickens are
nearly hardy against nuN vomca and the
extremely dangerous alkaloid strychnne,
contained in it, while in the smallest
amount it is fatal poison to rodents
More remarkable yet in this respect is
the immunity of Choloepus HoTmanni, u
kind OF sluth living ON the island of Cey-
lon, which, when given ten grains of
strychnine, was not much affected Pig
cons are possessed Of high immunity from
morphine, the chief alkaloid OF opium, rs

were required to kill pigeon, not much
less than the mortal dose for man. Cats

He Would Travel.

Once in a while one sees in some New
England village people who have scarcely
set foot outside the narrow limits Of their
own township in the course OF their lives.
These people, even in their most wide
awake and vigorous years, have way Of
measuring the outside world by their own
simple standards which is quite refreshing.
What should you do if you had money,
Wiliam?" inquired one of the group gath
cred around the big fireplace in the little
inn or tavern at Hilltown OF the tavern
keeper, who was counted a man of wide
experience and wisdom by his friends.

t.ment in wheat was inclined 10 be bull
ish at the opening Of the market to-day
IL did not take long, however, for traders
to become convinced that they were
on the wrong side. \ sale or about
7J0OOD bushels was the argument that
turned the tide. and from that time until
the close. more wheat was offered than
there appeared TO lac buyers for, and
naturally values gave way. Everything
that vas received during the balance OF
the session was more or less disappont-
was a fair demand for cash wheat hui
offerings we're light. Prices were quot
ably nc. lower. May wheat opened at
is4Ae. higher al 6oitc;, sold between
that and J93xG59iac, closing Nu &c. under
yesterday at 5)9Sc.
Corn was extremely DUH The appre-
hension which was felt among shorts
yesterday ON account of the reported
buying by noted operator was displaced
BY a mere confident feeling. and they
were rather inclined TO increase their
lires. The weakness displayed by wheat
had harmful effect. and assisted IN
weakening the tone. May corn ranged
between 3G7sc and 36i.N365sc., and closed
at 363sc. showing a net loss for the day
Of ismhc Cash corn was in moderate
demand, with prices about &c. lower.
oats were quiet. with downward
tendency No selling or buying Of note
was done and the feeling was derived
from the wheat and corn markets Al
the close May was nc. under yesterday
Cash oats were quiet and easier.
Provisions were almost inactive.
stronger feeling was observed. IL was
responsive 10 a similar one shown by
the market for hogs. The close showed
a gain over yesterday of PIC. for May
