One of the Jobs of chemists.

Chemists sometimes have queer expe-
riences. The following facts were told
by professor in one of our western
universities: For about ten years I
have made speciality of examining and
reporting upon cases of real or suspected
poisoning. AS number of my cases
have been connected with murder trials
I have had considerable notice in the
daily papers. This reputation for max
ing analyses for poisons has brought me
a queer class of patrons.
Every year have one or more old
men come to me with samples Of food to
be examined for poison. These men,
without exception. have married young
wives, and when the husband is taken
sick and does not recover as quickly as
he thinks he should he begins to suspect
that his young wife wants to get rid of
him and is poisoning him gradually
through the medium Of his food. OF
course he does not want his wife to
know of his suspicious, SO he quietly
gets sample of the food he suspects,
and at some unusual hour for work,
generally either early in the morning or
very late in the evening, he comes to
me and tells me very secretly that he
wishes to have an examination for poison
made.
"Now the odd part is that though
have made a number Of such analyses I
have never found poison present in any
case. Then the husband is very much
afraid that his wife will find out he sus-
pected her. and he gets out of my labo-
ratory in the quickest and quietest man
ner possible. So every year ] expect to
see some elderly man coming apprehen-
sively up my office stairs with a well
concealed sample Of food about him to
be examined for poison. Every year he
comes, ever year I make my analysis
and find no poison, and every year the
old gentleman gets information that he
considers cheap at the price. ''-C Chicago

LongIived Monarcbs.

Queen Victoria, who has the honor of
having the longest reign of any crown
ed head, is now II years old The EN-
peror of Austria, Francis Joseph l.,
who has reigned for forty-eight years,
is now 65 years of age. The oldest
king in all Europe at the present time
is Christian TX. of Denmark; he is now
entering his 10th year and has ruled
for thirty-three years. Another king
who has worn the crown for the same
length of time is George l., the king
of the Hellenes; he now has reached
the age of 81 years. The King of the
Belgians, Leopold H., has reigned for
thirty-one years and is now in his 62d
year. Oscar IL, king of Sweden and
Norway, has ruled for twenty-four
years and is now 81. King Humberr
l. of Italy is in his seventeenth year OF
reign and is 90 years of age.
There is one older whose date is
.from everlasting to everlasting His
years have no end.' His kingdom
cannot be moved He is ''the king
eternal, immortal, invisible;" ''the
blessed and only Potentate, the King
of kings and Lord of lords, who only
hath Immortality"

Title of Admiral.

1t should here be explained that the
title Of admiral was not used in En-.
gland in the earlier days, says the Lon
don Nautical Magazine. In fact, the
better opinion is that it was not so used
before the beginning of the fourteenth
century. He was called Capitaneus
Maris Captain of the Sea-, Keeper OF
the seacoasts," Captain of the King
mariners" The title admiral or
"Amiral," probably derived from the
Arabic amir or emir (prefee J, was used
in foreign countries much earlier than
in England, and came to us from
France. Prynne ,('Animadversions,' y
p. 106) states that there were AdmiraIs
and an Admiralty Court in England as
early as the time of Henry l., derived
from our ancient Saxon kings-Alfred,
Edgar, Ethelred and others who had
the dominion of the British ocean.
None of these kings probably was more
potent that King Edgar, who, possess
ing an absolute dominion of the neigh
boring sea, sailed round about it every
year and secured it with a constant
guard. These ships being very stout
ones, were in number 1000; some writ
ers even affirm that there were 4,sOO
sailing ships.

Among the Poultry.

Peking ducks are good market fowls
Dampness causes leg weakness in
ducks.
The good layers are active and gen

Dry earth is a good material to scat.

When a thrifty bird is fully matured
it is easily fattened.
Early Matched, well-developed pullets

Stale bread, soaked in milk, is a good

Thrifty, vigorous one-year-old hens

Cleanliness and good feeding are the

On the average it will cost one dollar
to keep laying hen one year.
Leghorns and black Spanish lay eggs

Scald and allow them to stand over

feeding oats to poultry.

Pasteur,s Apology.

Louis Pasteur was of humble origin.
and was always proud of it; but he be-
longed to the peculiar race of Franche-
Comtois, or old Burgundians, who are
noted for industry, simplicity and pig
headed persistence in any course which
they deem right. Pasteurs character
was a perfect exemplification of these
qualities.
He was great patriot and a true
republican, and in speaking once in
praise of the chemist Bertrand, who
had risen from being an apothecary's
assistant to presiding over the worlds
scientific congress, he uttered this max
i'm, which deserves to be remembered
by every one who is struggling to make
his own way in the world:
'sThe true democracy is the one that
gives to every individual the chance
to accomplish his maximum of effort"
An amusing anecdote is related which
illustrates Pasteur's candor and good
nature at the same time. One day, at
the Academy of Sciences, a position
which he took was actively controvert-
ed by two men who knew not a 1.-THE of
what he knew of the subject He
heard them patiently, and then rose
and with much animation answered
them, to the satisfaction of every one
present; but warmed up with the con-
troversy, he forgot himself little.
Turning to the two men, he said:
do you know what you lack? YOU
Indicating one of them-"lack the
power of observation, and you'-the
other-'lack the reasoning faculty!'
There was an outcry at this, and Pas
teur was rebuked by the President for
exceeding the proper limits Pasteur
saw that the rebuke was just
Il am sorry" he said; 81 was carried
away by the heat of the discussion.
beg the pardon of the members to
whom have referred, and of this hon.
orable body"
Every one smiled at the frankness of
this apology. Then Pasteur added:
Having recognized my fault, may I
not mention an extenuating circum-
stance in my favor? ALI that said
was true. Absolutely truer' And he
seemed to wonder that everybody pres
ent laughed, including his two oppo
nents.-Youth's Companion.

SINCE YESTERDAY.
Iho mevis sano b1t vesterdav

The mavis sang but yesterday
A strain that thrilled through Autumn's
dearth;
He read the music of his lay
In light and leaf, and heaven and earth
The windlowers by the wayside swung,
Words of the music that was sung.
In all his song the shade and sun
Of earth and heaven seemed to meet,
Its joy and sorrow were as one,
Its very sadness was but sweet;
He sang of summers yet to be; ia
You listened to his song with me.
The heart makes sunshine in the rain,
Or winter in the midst of May,
And though the mavis sings again
His self-same song of yesterday,
find no gladness in his tone;
To-day l listen here alone. =
And even our sunniest moment takes -
Such shadows of the bliss we knew
To-day his throbbing song awakes
But wistful, haunting thoughts of you
Its very sweetness is but sad,
You gave it all the joy it had.

Fatteninp Calves

The first question which a butcher
asks about calf offered for the sham
bles is how it has been fed If it has
been allowed to suckle the COW, the
calf is in his opinion all right. and will
dress as well as it looks. But this de-
pending on sucking, >though good for
the calf, helps to dry up the COW, and
to make her uneasy when the calf is
taken from her. The advantage of the
sucking process is that the calf gets
its food slowly, and always warm. The
slowness with which the calf gets the
milk, and the muscular effort of the
mouth required to get it, mixes more
saliva with the nutrition and insures
better digestion. But the owner of the
cow may properly insist that the calf
shall not run with its dam, sucking a
little every hour or two. Give it two
meals per day. as nearly twelve hours
apart as possible, and the last few
minutes milk the richest part of the
milk, the strippings, into pail. 1t is
very rare that a calf will get from the
udder all that the human hand will
do. 1t is this retention of the strip
pings in the udder that tends to dry
cows SO quickly when their calves
suckle them.-Exchange

Eggs in Treacle.

In Jamaica and other West India isl
ands, they have very curious way of
preserving eggs fresh for a consider
able time. A layerlof eggs is placed at
the bottom of a barrel, and ordinary
black treaele is poured over in sufficient
quantity to cover them. Then another
layer is added, and more treacle, and so
on till the barrel is full. The idea is
that an egg can be kept good almost in
definitely if the air can. be prevented
penetrating the porous shellto the CON
tents within. When the eggs have all
been used, the treacle is given a fresh
boil up and is thoroughly saleable
again. In Northern Russia the farmers
use warm tallow in precisely the same
way; but this is said to slightly affect
the flavor of the eggs.

DON'T TRUST IT.

Because the weather is mild and the air
balmy we cannot count on being rid of
rheumatism or neuralgia. The very sud-
den changes of temperature or exposure to
dr:lughts are both likely to increase rather
than diminish both complaints. For this
reason it is wise at this season to be we'll
prepared for sudden attacks, and to have
ready what is known as the best remedy
for all visitations of aches or pains. All
well regulated households ought to have a
nook or corner for bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
There are other reasons also why this
Master-cure should be kept at hand; rheu-
matism and neuralgia are chronic, acute or
in niammatory, but to whatever degree ofsuf-
fering they may come, the old reliable cure
is the best for treatment and the surest to
give permanent relief

Dwarf Pears.

There is one great advantage of
dwarf trees over standard. They come
Into bearing earlier. A dwarf pear, for
instance, is produced by budding on a
ounce stock and natures sooner than
If on pear stock Dwarf trees should
be pruned at the top, otherwise they
are liable to fall over. More trees can
be planted on given space than of STAN
dard size, but of course each tree will
not bear as profusely. The yield is
nearly the same per acre for both. They
are in high favor with many, because
pruning, thinning, spraying and gath
ering fruit can be done so much more
easily from small trees than from high
ones.-Fruit Garden,

A rrtie flush came in jeans cheeks.


She faltered her thanks.
In rush Of love for Thrift she began
family to realize that she had not ap-
preciated this man as he deserved In
the same moment she realized she had
thrown her chance away.
No idea that she might work on her
old lovers pity crossed her mind. She
began timidly asking him if he could
manage to send Thrift to the home he
had mentioned
why, moo. when ye were so set
against it? asked John, with severi-
ty that was not reassuring.
ITS circumstances" said Jean, brief
ly.
She felt that she would rather die
than let John Forbes know there was
nothing to eat in the house and no mon
ey. She would have risked everything
but for the fear of Thrift falling i'll.
"Weel," said John. slowly, "Ill see
aboot it. But hoo wull We pay me.

up.

in honest money by honest wark."
The pink flush had deepened into
deep crimson on her cheek
"But dinna want your money, and
as for wark, sdppose you come and
wark for me-"
"Na, na," said Jean, involuntarily
She had had her chance of being mis-
tress at the farm. She could not stoop
to work for another, as she supposed he
meant.
'Weel, come wi'oot doing ony wark.''
Jean looked at him in utter bewilder-
ment.
''The difference atween us. lay in
Thrift. If he gaes AVA there's naeth-
ing nede hinder your coming to the
farm
Il didna expec' ye'd think 1 meant
you," said the little woman. She was
thoroughly hurt "I'll thank We a. the
days O. my life if yen dae for Thrift,
but I'm no seeking to be beholden to
you for myself"
"Ye'n be gey lonely wi'oot Thrift"
"Ay"
Jean nearly smiled because she was
so near to tears at the thought.
'.I'll be lonely at the farm
"Ye can mairry," said Jean.
She suddenly felt that she had cut
herself off from every possibility by
her suggestion. She had done it for
Thrift all along; she would have mar
ried him for Thrift's sake, she gave him
up for Thrift's sake. Now Thrift by
her own act was to go away from her.
And john Forbes was nothing to her.
The unexpected touch of kindness had
brought rush of sympathy to her
heart She did not know it, but it had
broken down the barrier that her love
for Thrift had built up round her wom-
ans heart.
"Ay," answered John Forbes, slowly.
"But We maun ask me this time, JEAN"
"Oh, couldna," faltered Jean.
She felt confused and trembling. She
looked down.
''And Wilma, nae third time"
I'm no fit to be Teddy, noo," she
Then she looked up. John saw in her
eyes a look he had not seen for more
than ten years.
"Jeanw
"John!'
That was all the love-making that
passed between them, but they under.
stood each other.
When John went out Jean seized
Thrift and kissed him as she had done
once before. But she knew that for the
first time since he had come into her
life he had only the second place She
thought she hid the fact in her inmost
heart, but John Forbes guessed 1t. He
had the tact to hide the knowledge
from his wife. For the tact that love
brings is often the highest WISDOM

Buying sweet Potato sets.

Most nurserymen and seedsmen are
glad to furnish sweet potato sets for
planting. They can do it, too, more
cheaply than the average farmer who
has no greenhouse can do it for himself.
More sweet potatoes ought to be grown
by Northern farmers. They need a
warm. rich SOIL BY selecting cloudy
day, with probability of rain, the sets
will get rooted In few hours and be-
fore the top willis. The home supply Of
sweet potatoes can as easily be grown
by farmers as ordinary potatoes, ex-
cept that It = cheaper and better to
