Indian Vengeance.

In the course of his Investigations
scientist has discovered the nature of a
mortal poison which some of the ma
tives OF India employ to kill the cattle
Of their enemies. The poison is applied
to little pointed rods inserted in the end
of a short stick which can be concealed
in the hand. Approaching the cattle,
the poisoner slightly scratches them
with the venom-charged points. The
ends of the little rods break off and re-
main in the wounds which are barely
visible. This poison is extracted from
a kind Of bean, growing on a legumi-
nous plant known botanically as abrus
precatorius. This poison is called abrln,
and Is almost as fatal in its effects as
the most violent serpent venom.

CAM PING OUT.


Now that midsummer days are here.
And hours are long and skies are clear.
IT'S time to leave the crowded street
For distant woodlands cool and sweet:
There pitch the tent near by a brook
Where trout swim hungry for the hook.
There loaf and hunt and read, and live
In manner plain and primative,
Enjoying Nature as bird
Enjoys her-eyery sign and word
Interpreting, until the heart,
or Natures own becomes a part.
or rugged rocks an oven rude
The hearthstone Of your solitude
Sufiices well to cook your fish
And lend a flavor TO the dish;
Or yet TO send the fragrance up
or spicy coffee from the cup.
What joy 10 waken with the sun
And find the fresh grass oyerspun
With webs OF gossamer, and see
The sunbeams steal from tree TO tree,
Dropping their gold along the way,
To guide the shining feet Of Day.
Then when the breakfast hour is DER.
To loiter down along the shore
With rod and line, and tempt the trout
From his retreat to venture outl
Perchance a book would best beguile-
Then lie down where the sun can smile
Upon you reading, prose or rhyme.
The wood-stream singing all the time.
Above you birds. around you flowers
Needless be now the flying hoursl
Or distant mountain heights may irge
Your feet to find the dizzy verge
Whence, looking forth. the world you
know
Liet ouistretchcd in Gods hand below.
Aud you. the master OF II all,
A speck inhnitesmall
All. II Is good just once TO see
The finite with lnhnity--
To see and feel and comprehend
A little the ALLOWING Friendl
Now back again. the fires are lit
And round the blaze the comrades sit
Exchanging storiesJ weaving tales,
Until Invention flags and fails.
Then Slumber calls them to recline
On fragrant pillows Of the pine
To sleep and dream and wake TO be
Grateful TO God who made them free

That property has responsibilities to
organized society, as well as rights to
be protected by II, Is fact that seems
often to be overlooked by the owners
Of large wealth. In the long run the
rights Of property cannot remain secure
II the responsibility that goes with It's
ownership Is ignored. Wealth demands
protection from thlevery and violence
at all times. and no society Is civilized
that does not AFFORD such protection.
But what shall be said OF the wealthy
corporate interests that insist to the let
ter upon the rights which law confers
upon property. even to the ordering out
Of troops In their behalf. and then cool

1an'S Best Friend.

First and foremost woman Is mans
best friend:
Because she IS his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because, without her he would be
rude, rough and ungodly.
Because she can with him endure
pain quietly and meet Joy gladly.
Because she is patient with him in
illness, cndures his fretiulness and
"mothers" him.
Because she teaches him the value
of gentle words, of kindly thought and
of consideration.
Because on hcr breast he can she'd
tears of repentance, and he Is never
reminded of them atterward.
Because she will stick to a man
through good and evil report, and
always believe in him, if she loves
him.
Because without her as an incen-
tive, he would grow lazy; there would
be no good work done, there would
be no noble books written, there
would be no beautiful pictures paint
ed, there would be no divine strains
of melody.-New York Dispatch.
