guished paper manufacturer was .
believer in a somewhat unusual cure
for sickness OF all sorts. For nearly
FORTY wears it was his practice to re-
main in bed one day every week. ne
would read andasleep, and when !!
was absolutely necessary for any
caller TO see him, he had to see him
in bed, and only afew were permitte .
to do this. When Mr.. Bird was ~
wears old he was az invalid, yet TIM
practice kept him alive nearly MI!
years longer.

Rapid Flight.

Although something is known about
the speed of birds and animals, there are
few ascertained facts concerning that of
insects and fishes. They rarely move in
anything like a straight line, and it is
hard to arrive at anything more than APP
proximate results. In "Poachers and
Poaching'' the following example is Civ
en-:
81 have frequently had the opportunity
of dropping into company with our largest
species of dragon fly along particular
roadside in autumn.
"On foot one has scarcely any means of
Judging of its speed, for in a moment it is
past you and out of eight, but what is the
experience when you are driving say at
the rate of eight or ten miles an hour?
"The rapid voyager shoots by you al
most out of sight, then turns, swerving
widely from right to left. and passes you
again in both directions, traversing re-
peatedly the ground over which you are
travelling but once.
1--WE are apt to exaggerate in these mat
tiers, but with every allowance, having
compared the flight of the dragon fly with
that of passing hawk, swallow and
cuckoo, have computed that it is capable
of flying at speed of 100 miles an hour. :"

Arsenic.

Arsenic has been known from very early
times as deadly poison. 1t Is believed to
have been the means employed by Nero to
remove his enemies, and there is little
doubt that it was also known to and EN-.
ployed by Messalina and Agrippina. Dur.
ing the middle ages it was extensively
used as secret poison, being sold by al
chemists and prisoners of Italy under the
name of widows powders" or "succes-
sion powders" Its properties were def
nitely ascertained and made public by
Brandt in 1888.
The plant from which assafetida is pro-
duced is a native of Persia, Afghanistan
and northern India. In all these countries
the inhabitants use it as a seasoning for
their meat and vegetables, much as red
pepper is employed by the natives of Mex
leo and South American states. The odor
is not deemed by them in the least often

EARLY FIRE IMPLEMENTS.
Appliances Used In This Country In the
Seventeenth Century.

Undoubtedly the first fire company or
ganized in this country was formed in
New York in 1868. 1t was called the
Providers and was composed Of eight men
with $50 buckets, hooks and small lad
ders. Where the buckets were obtained and
whether or not they were in addition to
those owned by the town the records fail
to state. In 1879 Salem purchased two or
three dozen cedar buckets, besides hooks
and other Implements; also the selectmen
and two others were authorized to take
command at fires and to blow up and pull
down buildings when such action was
necessary. This practice appears to have
been much more common before the use OF
engines than afterward. Boston, on Sept.
8, 1879, ordered that every quarter of the
town should be provided with 20 swobes,
two scopes and six axes. The swobes, or
swabs, as they are now called, were long
handled mops that could be used to put
out roof fires. The general use of swabs
has long since disappeared, but when a
slight blaze is beyond the reach of a pail
of water and more improved apparatus is
not at hand long handled mop is today
the most efficient article to be used. In
Japan these swabs may be seen on many
roof tops.
In 1880 New York ordered that five lad
ders and slso hooks be made. In Philadel-
phia no mention is made of public precau
ton against fire until 1896, when law
was passed forbidding the firing of CHM
neys or allowing the same to become foul.
Each house was to have a swab, bucket or
pail Another act was passed i'll 100, or
dering every household to have two leather
buckets. In the following year six or eight
hooks for the purpose of tearing down
houses were ordered to be made.-John G.
Morse in Popular Science Monthly.
