Toad Poison.
From Chambers, Journal

From Chambers Journal.
The toads poison" is a white, highly
acid fluid, which is secreted by the glands
of the skin of its back; and through TWO
small eminences just behind its head mot
from its MOUTH the animal can eject the
venom. This white fluid is alluded to in
the Galloway ballad of ROBIN a Rie''
The milk on the Taeds back ! wad prefer
To the poison in his words that be.
The secretions, no doubt, helps to pro-
tect the toad from many of its natural
enemies-birds, LIZARDS and so fourth
but not from all; both hedgehogs and
snakes devour toads with impunity. A
dog viii always refuse to take a toad into
its mouth, because the secretiOnS from the
creatures glands burns its mouth and
lips. If the venom be injected beneath
the skin of a dog, it will cause great and
local Inflammation, with repeated vom-
iting and commissions, which sometimes
end in death.
The effect of the poison on human beings
is much the same. Frank auckland has a
story related to him by an Oxfordshire
surgeon, of a man who once made a wag-
er, Wnen half drunk in a village school
house that he would bite a toad's head
off He performed the feat, but soon his
lips tongue, and throat began to swell
most alarmingly, and he was for some
time dangerously i'll. He had probably
bitten" says Mr.. Buckiand, right
through the center Of the glands behind
the head, and had got a dose of the Dois-
on" This genuine and painful experience
of the tipsy braggart may serve to Increase
our skepticism as to the quack's perform
ance, as reported by Gilbert White.

THOUGHT OF THE DUTCmMAN.
The Mourne's Crew when They Saw
the Abandoned Julie Sailing Along


From the Baltimore sun.
Two weeks ago in mid-ocean the crew
of the British steamer Mourne, which
has just arrived at Baltimore were arous-
ed by the sight of a bark whose appear
anee excited their suspicious. The sug-
gestion that it was the famed Flying
Dutchman spread quickly among them
Nobody could be seen upon the strange
vessel when she was first sighted, which
was on April 20, few hundred miles off
the coast of ireland, yet the fore and
maintopsails were both set, the mainyard
was squared, and the vessel was moving
at the rate OF two knots an hour. This
was just like the Flying Dutchman.
Leaning over the buwarks, the sailors
others on the bridge above pointed their
glasses at her and tried to learn more
OF her. The suggestion that the vessel
was the Flying Dutchman far out of its
southern latitude increased their curios-
ity, and when the Mourne had drawn near
enough Capt Aiken sent Chief Officer
Smiley and a boats crew to investigate
the mysterious craft.
When Mr. Smiley boarded the bark the
silence was aWesOme, and the only noise
that broke the stiffness was the cracking
of the gear high above. In the cabin the
officer found that the vessel was the
Norwegian bark Julie of Larvif, and that
she had been abandoned the same day
Mr.. Smiley boarded her. The ships pa
pers also showed that the Julie was bound
from Minei Bridge. Wales, with sand ball
last for West Bay, New Brunswick. The
hold was nearly filled with water, but
with this unusual load the Julie was sail
ing along serenely, without a human be-
ing to direct her movements and guide
her into a safe haven. Mr.. Smiley, after
some study of her movements came to
the conclusion that she was simuly drift
ing with the currents, with possibly some
aid from the wind.
As she was directly in the path usually
followed by ocean vessels, Mr.. Smiley de
term!ned TO burn her. His men spread
oil around the cabin and set the bark on
fire After this had been done his boat
returned to the Mourne, and the latter
started once more for Baltimore.
AS the deserted craft disappeared be-
hind the horizon the flames had not made
great Roadway, and she was still Gid
ing along on the ocean waves with the
same mysterious lonesome air which first
attracted the attention of the Mournes
crew
