Tho Only venomous bird.

Among all the thousands Of feathered
creatures classified by the trained or
nithologists, but ono, tho rpir n'doob,
or "bird of DEATH" is known to bo VEN
omous This queer and deadly species
Of tho winged and feathered tribe is q
native Of tho island Of Papua, or New
Guinea. Tho bird is described as being
about the size Of common tame pigeon,
of gray plumage, and tail of extraor-
dinary length, ending in tip Of bril-
liant scarlet red. 1t is marsh bird and
is found to inhabit only the immense
stagnant pools adjoining the lakes Of
the interior Of tho island. The rpir has
hooked beak, as sharp as cocks spur
and hollow. The venom with which he
inoculates is distilled in set Of organs
which nature has provided for that pur-
pose and which lie in the upper mandi-
BILE, just below the openings Of the nos
trils. Under this poison secreting labora-
tory in the roof Of the mouth is small,
feshy knob. When the bird sets its beak
in the flesh Of q victim, this knob re-
ceives pressure which liberates the
venom and inoculates the wound. No
man, native or otherwise, was ever
known to recover from bite inflicted
by rpir 'doob. The suffering in such
cases is said to be much more agonizing
than in cases Of rattlesnake and Gila
monster bites. st. Louis Republic.

Trick In Making Change.

A curious incident occurred in Paris
restaurant the other day. A high official,
happening to be in the Montmartre dis
trict about dinner time, walked into q
restaurant frequented much by foreign
ers, and took his dinner there, his bill
amounting to francs. When calling
the waiter to pay for his meal, he hand
cd him 20 franc goldpiece, which the
waiter put into his mouth. as is the GUS
tom Of the Paris walters. Making
change, he only gave him Q francs. The
gentleman looked up and said: "Beg
your pardon, want 10 francs and not
francs. Excuse me, sir" said the
waiter. "You gave me 10 franc piece.
Seer" And Herewith he took from be-
tween his lips smaller gold coin,
showing it to the gentleman. The off,
cial, considerably wrought up for being
taken for fool, without any warning
gave the waiter such slap in the face
that the 30 franc piece given him fell
ont OF his mouth and rolled across the
room. The gentleman got his change,
and purposely forgot to tip the waiter,
who had received quite setback by the
Striking" argument Of the guest. -

An old fshwife, ono Of tho order that

barelegged in very brief tartan petit

ono day in distant corner of the hall,
from which she looked out in obvious
discomfort as the lady and her guests
filed in to dinner. When tho dining
room door had closed behind them, she
was asked what she thought Of the

James Mitchell, who died in or about

1905, recognized, Gays Tho World Of

The famous Mr.. Boyle mentions blind
man at Utrecht who could distinguish
different metals by tho different odors.
and Martials records the case Of per-
son named Mamurra who could tell by
smelling whether copper was true Cor
inthian or not. Indian travellers have
recorded that certain natives who habit
nally abstained from animal food have
q sense Of smelling which is 80 exquis-
itely delicate that they can tell from
which we'll vessel Of water has been
obtained. 1t has been related that by
smell alone the negroes Of the Antilles
will detect the footsteps Of n Frenchmen
from those Of negro. Marco Marci has
left an account Of monk at Prague who
could tell by smelling anything given to
him who had last handled 1t. The guides
who accompany travellers in the route
from Aleppo to Babylon will tell by
smelling the desert sand how near they
are to the latter place.

Comment by Rev. y. n. Doyle.
TorIc-Tho peril and tho power Of ambi.
tion.--Luke n, b2; Dcut. viii, ii.N.
Ambition IL an inordinate and eager
desire Of prefermcnt, honor, superiority
or power. Tho poril and tho power Of
ambition are illustrated In tho livos Of
many Of the worlds most illustrious
men. The power of their ambition has
been so great that, regardless Of tho just
rights of Others, regardless Of the laws
Of God, they have sought only to ac-
complish their purposes, and whom posi-
tion and power have been attained God
has boon forgotten and no claims that
even He has had upon them have been
considered.
In the first Soriptural reference we
have pointed out to MS n laudablo am
bition and the gracious results Of IL.
We aro told that Jesus grew in favor
with God and man. Christ was in the
truo sense ambitious, He was filed with
an inordinate desire To- do the will Of
God. We cannot bo filed with too much
OF this kind Of ambition. Paul also had
o worthy ambition. He expressed il
when he said 1--WE labor that whether
present or absent we may he accepted Of
Him." We cannot he filled with too
strong desire to serve God and TO so
labor that we may be accepted of Him.
This should bo tho ono ambition Of our
lives, and IL we make IL that wo will
not only grow In favor with God. but
also with man, us Jesus did.
In the second reference there IN sol
emn warning against forgetting God in
the time Of prosperity. Tho children Of
Israel could not but SEQ tho hand of God
In their guidance and direction in tho
Wilderness, but in tho land Of Canaan il
would bo different. There the blessings
Of prosperity and wealth would come
from God through second causes, and
there might be n temptation in tho pride
Of their hearts for them to say, "My
power and the might of my hand hath
gSttcn mo this wealth" F." This IL tho
great danger Of prosperity-thati it may
make us proud and ambitious, that wo
will take all tho credit to ourselves and
forget that we arc indebted To God for
hiA
False ambition always leads to de-
struction. God solemnly warns us
against IL. II has ruined some Of the
worlds greatest men, and Ia supposed to
have caused tho downfall of tho angels
who fell from heaven. True ambition
burning desire to serve God--receives
His blessing and favor and the favor
and confidence % men. Lot us then "la-
Dor that whether present or absent we
may be accepted of Him."

Bug" As that term In England u
never mentioned in polite society and

1t changed to Howard. Their request

THE ENDEAvOR PLEDGE.
There Is No Excuse Christian Can Give
For Not Keeping It.

There Is No Excuse Christian Can Give
For Not Keeping It.
From tho beginning Of tho Christian
Endeavor movement some ono has want
ed to try his hand at tinkering tho
pledge. "The pledge is too strong" or
"The pledge couldn't be lived up to-"
or Something must be changed to
adapt it to the peculiarities Of our soci-
ETY." II is amazing how many ''pecul-
lar" societies there are in the world.
There are not so many Of these pledge
tinkers as there used to be, but we hear
Of them every now and then, even in
these days. Now there is not much oh
lection to altering the phraseology. IL
the meaning is not changed or the
strenuousness Of tho pledge is not weak
ened, but this is the very thing that
m ost pledge tinkers desire to do.
Now should like to whisper in their
ears that the revised Christian Endeavor
pledge was prepared very carefully and
prayerfully. Days Of time were spent in
weighing each word, so that every one
might be the right word in the right
place. The strength Of every phrase was
considered and special pains was taken
not to have a single letter or syllable in
the pledge which the youngest and
weakest active member could not keep
Twice, in the heart of the pledge, at
the risk Of tautology, and perhaps to
the detriment Of the queens English,
the phrase ia substantially repeated,
"Unless prevented by a reason which I
can conscientiously give to the Lord
Jesus Christ" That is the only excuse
which the Christian ever ought to be
willing to give for the nonperformapce
Of any known duty. This is twice ad-
mitted and insisted on In the heart Of
the pledge, and 1t fully excuses any con-
scientious Christian. II he has any ex-
ouse worth giving. A Christian En-
deavor society that fully understands
what the pledge means in ninety mine
cases out Of a hundred will vote
against altering 1t. What is needed 10
careful study Of the pledge. Have a
meeting to explain 1t and talk about 1t
and to understand its thorough reason
ableness.
My earnest advice to pledge tinkers
is, Don't. ."-Secretary Baer.
