SERPENT VENOM.

The rapidity with which serpent venom becomes absorbed by the system, says Longman's Magazine is almost incredible and is we'll illustrated by the following experiment A rat was inoculated with venom near the tip of its tail, one minute later tho latter was cut off short dis tance above the point of inoculation; but this operation was quite unable to save the animals life, for even if that brief in- terval the poison had accomplished its fatal work, and few hours later claimed its victim. This rapid diffusion of the venom helps to explain the difficulty which is experienced in arresting the course of the poison by local treatment, for its passage Is too rapid to permit of It's being overtaken by superficial meas ures of even the most stringent character But Calmette points out that local pre- cautions are not to be neglected, for al- though they cannot nullify the action of the venom, they undoubtedly do delay its progress, and thus create a longer inter- vals or respite, during which an oppor- tunity Is afforded for administering the anti-toxin. Before however, passing on to the investigations which have cul- minated in the production of a specific antidote for this terrible toxin, there are 8 few more details which Calmette has furnished as to its character which are of interest. Serpent venom Is characterized d not only by its intensely virulent proper ties, but also by the tenacity with which 1t retains them under diverse circumstan- ces. Thus it may be stored up for a whole year, and yet at the end of that time be as active as ever; and evcn after several years, although It's toxic powers are somewhat reduced, 1t still retains them to very appreciable extent.
 Unlike the bacterial toxins, this ventom toxin can stand exposure to considerable temperatures without injury only suffers after 1t has been submitted to 9S degrees centigrade for twenty minutes. Thus the venom of the so-called "tiger snake" of Australia will stand being exposed for ten minutes to from 100 to 1O2 degrees centigrade, and its virulence only disap- pearg when this temperature has been ap- piled for twenty minutes. The venom of the ''black snake," another Australian variety, loses It's toxity at temperature of between 99 and 100 degrees centigrade; while an exposure to only 80 degrees cen tigrade for ten minutes is sufficient in the case of viper venom, according to Messrs. Phisalix and Bertrand, to pro- foundly modify its lethal properties. Thus pigeon ure for fortnight to temper ature of 38 degrees centigrade does not affect cobra venom in the least, but if during that same time 1t has been placed in the sunshine, it entirely loses all its lethal properties. Thus, pigeon was inoculated with about 30 drops of venom which had been exposed to the sun's rays for fourteen days, and it survived while another pigeon was inoculated with a little over six drops of similar venom which had been kept during this time in the dark, and 1t died in quarter of an hour

Tbe sc,ence of the Morn,nr Fast.

Dr. E, H. Dewey says that the heavy morning breakfast which is universal in America is all mistake. The hun ger one feels is abnormal and is simply the acquired result of lifelong untime- ly meal. More than this, it Is often dis ease undergoing evolution, and many complaints are cured simply by not talk ing anything beyond a small cup of tea or coffee, and sometimes not even that, until II or 12 o'clock. The experience of hundreds of persons proves that even the severest manual labor can be per- formed for several hours lon an empty stomach" and with more ease, energy and satisfaction than ever is possible after an early morning meal, and that 1t can be done even up to high noon without unusual exhaustion or incon- venience from the bangs of hunger. A great many people are now giving this matter a prolonged test, and the wis dom of the method is clearly supported by physiological evidence. -Exohange.

 THE CHIN AS AN INDEX.
Can You Tell a Persons Character by th
 Shape of His Lower Jaw9

Can You Tell Persons Character by the
 Shape of His Lower Jaw9
 have read Dr. Leuf's letter on "Physiognomy" in The Medical Coun- oil and am prompted to say, in reply to his request for contributions on the "chin:"
 Protruding chins characterize men and women of the get there type. Suo- cessful people usually carry their chins thrust forward, with compressed lips. This chin, If heavy, with broad rami and swelling masseters, indicates fight ing blood.
 A retreating chin shows lack of force, mentally, morally and physically; usu- ally of the yielding sort; soon discour. aged; desires protection; small exec- utive force. The development of other faculties often makes up for this defect.
 A small, we'll rounded chin, with mobile and red cushion of flesh upon, indicates 8 pleasure loving owner. If dimpled, all the more so, for dimpled ohins belong to ooquettes. People with dimples love to be petted and loved; like admiration and praise. Generally f1okle. Usually this chin is healthy, re- ouperative and long lived.
 Broad chins signify nobleness and large dignity, unless vertically thin, when, if with it there be thin lips of bloodless kind, you find cruelty.
 Square chins with little flesh denote firmness and executive ability. These make good haters.
 Drunkards usually have a circular line about their chins.
 Slovens have wrinkles about their ohins.
 Long, thin chins are poetical, unsta- ble and delicate in constitution. Such people are subject to bowel derange- ments. If thin through the angles of the mouth, too, they are prone to tuber- cHlosis. Generally short lived.
 Medium ohins with suggestive bi- furcation in the center, with small mounds of flesh on either side, charao- terize generosity, impulsiveness, cheery natures. (The same sized chins with a dab of flesh just under the center of the lower lip, indicate meanness, ,selfishness, brutality.)
 N. B.-No one feature can be taken in judging character. Often develop ment of other faculties of mind or fea- ture entirely governs. In each case take the "totality of indications" before judging. St, Louis Clinique.

THE CHIPMUNK.
How He ROuses Himself and Welcomes
 the Spring.

How He ROuses Himself and Welcomes
 the Spring.
 As the woodchuck sleeps away the bitterness of cold, so in his narrower chamber sleeps the chipmunk. Happy little hermit, lover of the sun, mate of the song sparrow and the butterflies, what goodly and hopeful token of the earth's renewed life is he, verifying the promises of his own chalices, the squir- rel cups, set in the warmest corners of the woodside, with hbations of dew and shower drops, of the bluebird's carol, the sparrow's song of springI
 He comes forth from his long night into the fullness of the sunlit day, to proclaim his awakening to his summer comrades, a gay reoluse clad all in the motley, a jester, mayb be, yet no fool
 His voice, for all it's monotony, Is in- whether he utters his thin, sharp chirp or full mouthed chuck, or laughs chit tering mockery as he scurries in at his narrow door.
 He winds along his crooked pathway of the fence rails and forages for half forgotten nuts in the familiar grounds, brown with strewn leaves or dun with dead grass Sometimes he ventures to the top rail and climbs to a giddy ten foot height on @ tree, whence he looks abroad, wondering, on the wide expanse of an acre.
 Music hath charms for him, and you may entrance him with & softly whis- tied tune and entice him to frolio with herds grass head gently moved be- fore him,
 When the fairies have made the white curd of mallow blossoms into cheese for the children and the chipmunk, it is & pretty sight to see him gathering his share handily and toothily stripping of the green covers, filling his cheek pouches with the dainty disks and scampering away to the cellar with his ungrudged portion. Alaok the day when the sweets of the sprouting corn tempt him to turn rogue, for then he becomes a banded outlaw, and the sud- den thunder of the gun announces his tragic fate, He keeps we'll the secret of constructing his cunning house, with out show of heaped or scattered soil at its entrance. Bearing himself hon estly and escaping his enemies, the cat, the hawk and the boy, he lives a long day of happy, inoffensive life Then when the 1ilmy curtain of the Indian summer falls upon the year again he bids us long good night-"New Eng land Fields and Woods.

ITEMS FROM THE STAFFORD
 NEWS LETTER.
July 26, 1867.

Tt is our intention to print under this head from week to week, items of interest from the old Stafford News Letter.
 The new Ellington Congregational church is being framed in this village by Capt. T. D. Johnson of West Stafford, builder. The building is to be 1O7x65 feet.
 The pulpit of the Congregational church in,this village, flor few Sabbaths past, ,has ebeen occupied by Rev. E. Ripley, princt- pal of the Somers Home school, who will probably continue to officiate until the place is taken by candidate for s9ttle- ment.
 Two boys who escaped from the Monson state almshouse, put couple of ties on the track of the New London railroad, near State Line on Thursday last week. MT. Downer's train escaped running into them by timely discovery, and the boys were caught and sent back for safe keep ing.
 The new church of the M. E. society at South Coventry was dedicated Wednes- day July 17th. The services were of great interest. Rev. E. F. Clark gave the opening address and the sermon was by Rev. P. T.. Kenney, presiding elder. The weather was fine and the attendance large. A year ago last Spring it was decided that a new and larger house of worship was necessity. The present pastor, Rev. s. s. Cummings, who came to Coventry about that time took hold of the work with energy. It was proposed to limit the expense to $5OOO, the old house to be sold for $1000, and 8 subscrip- tion was started with the condition that $4OOO should be. subscribed by the 2Oth of June, 1966 The required amount was subscribed within the time limited, and arrangements were at once set on The lot increased the expense, and the cost of the building exceeded considerably the estimates made at the beginning. A very pretty house of worship centrally 1ocdbou, anu InouSu HoI larSe,WlI1 uoUoC- less be found adequate to the wants of the society for some time to come. The building is of wood and is neat and taste full in its architecture. The audience room Is plainly but tastefully finished. It has commodious basement for even- ing services, etc.

''If men were compelled to wear skirts for period, think they would insist more than they now do that their fellow men should stop the nasty habit of splitting in public, y writes Edward w. Box in The Ladies' Home Journal "There is no practice of man which is more distressing to women than this disgusting habit. Women constantly complain of it, especially in our larger cities, where sometimes the sidewalks are scarcely fit for them to walk upon They revolt at the practice, and they are right in so doing, yet year in and year out the habit not only continues but increases, and the protection of cleanliness, to which every woman walking upon our streets has perfect right, is denied her. |"

ROBERT BURNS.
The Poets First Love and the Verses II

The Poets First Love and the Verses In
 Which He Praised Her.
 Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, was born at Mount Oliphant, Jan. %, 1759, near Ayr, in clay built cottage, reared by his fathers own hands. When lad of IS, the family moved to Lo3hlea. His first three or four years at Lochlea were still with the poet times of inno- oence, and This conduct was governed by the strictest rules of virtue and mod esty." At last ho set his affections on a young woman named Ellison Begbie, the daughter of a small farmer, and asked her to be his wife, but he could not prevail on her to marry him, and this disappointment had malign inf1u- ence over the poet. Long afterward, when he had seen much of the world, Burns spoke of this girl as, of all those on whom he ever fixed his flckle affeo- tions, the one most likely to have made a pleasant partner for life. It was to her he addressed the pure and beautiful love lyric Mary Morison," and in these lines the lyric genius of Burns was for the first time undeniably revealed:
 Yestreen when to the trembling string
 The dance gaed through the lighted ha',
 To thee my fancy took it's wing.
 I sat, but neither heard nor saw,
 Though this was fair and that was braw
 And yon the toast of a' the town.
 sighed and said amang them a,
 "Ye are nae Mary Morison."
 Oh, Mary, canst thou wreck his peace
 Wha for thy sake would gladly dcoP
 Or canst thou break that heart of his
 Whase only fault is loving theef
 If love for love thou wilt not gie,
 At least be pity to me shown.
 A thought ungentle canna be
 The thought of Mary Morrison.

If your horses back is sore, use pure cold water on it freely every time the saddle Is removed. In hot weather be sure your check-rein is loose and your horse frequently watered. In hot weather a mouthful of grass, or piece of bread, or cracker, even, will help your horse wonderfully"
