EFFECT oF TOXINS.

IL Can BE COmbRted by Employing
the STARVATION Treatment"
In a report made to the Paris Acad-
envy of Sciences it was shown that the
recent experiments of Teissier and
Guinard give some justification to the
old saw about starving a fever" that
starvation treatment is ~eficacious In
combating the effect of toxins. Pneu-
monia and diphtheria bacilli were em-
ployed. Twenty-Five dogs were sub
jected, while in a starving condition, to
injections of toxin in amounts which in
variably killed the control-aninrals.
Four recovered, and in those which died
the intestinal LESSONS were less marked
in the starving animals than in those
which had received food. If the starva-
ton diet had only continued for five
or six days, and if, owing to surplus fat,
the animal was able to resist starvation,
he fell a victim as readily as an animal
receiving food.
One hypothesis in explanation pre-.
supposes that the starved cellular ele-
ments are ready TO seize and assimilate
whatever is presented to them and de.
stroy the toxins before they have time
to act. According to another hypothe-
sis, which seems to many investigators
the better explanation, the toxins act
slowly or not at all, because the starv-
ing organism does not supply elements
whose presence is essential for the pro-
duction of active poisons.

THE TREE.

sometimes 1t Attains a Circumfer-
ence of Forty Feet.
Camphor is a product of Japan. The
tree thrives only in certain localities,
usually within reach of the sea atmos-
phere. They must face south, and have
an average yearly temperature of Is
degrees e. The tree grows about ~,
inches a year. 1t sometimes attains IA
circumference of 40 feet. When a tree
is about 40 years old its yield per che
(2H acres) is equal to $4,000 ~(silverl
a year. The trees have been felled so
indiscriminately that there are prac-
tically lone available, and the price of
the product has greatly advanced.
Chips of stumps and roots of trees cut
down decades ago are used by the jap
alese farmers in winter for making
crude camphor. The process is so
wasteful that it is estimated that only
? per cent. of the camphor is obtained
from the chips. 1t is expected that the
introduction Of improved apparatus
will increase the yield manifold. Crude
camphor contains on an average 10 to
Is per cent. of camphor oil, which
yields. in turn, so per cent. of camphor.
Merchants and retiners are now look
ing to Formosa, where a considerable
extent of camphor forests is found, for
a further supply.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

How to Convert a Rare Steak REM
nant Int q Tidbit.
The remains of a rare steak NAV be
made into an excellent dish as follows:
Chop the meat fine, and for each cup
of meat add a teaspoonful of chopped
ham and half as much bread crumbs as
you have meat. Moisten the crumbs
with a little milk and mix them with
the meat. Season highly with salt and
pepper and chopped parsley, or a little
onion juice may be substituted for the
parsley. Beat n egg light and add
it to the other ingredients.
Take a piece of fresh brown papcr
and butter it well. Place the meat mix
ture in the middle of the paper, shape
it into a square loaf; fold the pape
around the meat and over the ends. as
when doing up a parcel, turning tie
ends under the loaf so that they will
remain in place without Irvine. Place
the parcel in a baking pan and put it
in a hot over and bake for 25 minutes.
Then carefully remove the p from
the. meat and place the Drowned loaf
upon a heated platter.
This is delicious when served with
hcrseradish sauce, or a tomato sauce
may be poured around it.-Chicago

over the top. She hung head down
ward near the top Of the jar, and at first
would dart under the leaves when any
one approached. Icould easily lift the.
cover and slip a live fly into the jar.
Then Judy would sit perfectly still
while the unsuspectihg fly would be-
gin to crawl round and round the jar;
her forelegs were drawn tense; nearer
and nearer circles the fy-then, just the
moment he is in the right spot, you see
a flash, and Judy, in the same position,
has the poor fly held fast in a pair of
arms edged with a row of tiny, sharp
points. Not a step has she moved
just one grab with those powerful arms.
She never misses. Now that the fly is
caught, she proceeds to eat it, a bite at
a time, very much as a squirrel eats.
She will take one bite and leisurely
chew it while she looks at you in a very
saucy manner, with her two big Cog
giles.
At last she became so tame that we
could push her around with our fingers
and she would not mind it. Then 1 took
her out and tied a thread loosely around
her body between her forelegs and the
next pair, and 'larieted" her out on a
begonia that sat in a window. She
would crawl the length of her string
all over the window and plants, catch
ing flies and bugs. She would now take
live flies out of our fingers. Sometimes
if she was not hungry she would strike
our fingers, but altogether she was very
sweet tempered
She would perch on my finger and
look at me, turning her head on the
side in a very cute way, and was also
very neat and clean, as she always
washed her "haGds" thoroughly after
her meals.
One evening I caught a male mantis.
I thought he would make a nice
"Punch," as 1 put him in the jar with
Judy. What was my disgust in the
morning, to find that Judy was a can
nibal. There she sat, looking very
well fed, and all that remained of Mr..
Mantis was his wings in the bottom of
the jar,
kept Judy all n summer and grew
quite fond of her. All agreed that she
was quite the ugliest, cutest, oldest
pet they had ever seen, and most OF
them stood back ready t. run if she
proved dangerous.
At last n night Judy was perched
on the bottom of the upper sash in
the window, when some n let the sash
down a little way. Foolish Judy chung

BOYS WORKBENCH.


Follow This Plan and You VIII Get
a Very Good One.
One of the most indispensable things
for the boy who likes carpentry and
wishes to do really good work is a good
bench on which to work.
Itmust be substantially made, should
be provided with a planning stop, a
wise, and o drawer in which to keep
screws, nails and small tools. Such
a bench may easily be constructed by
the boy himself, provided he knows
just what to do. If he works without
a definite and correct plan, however,
much time and material may be wasted
with a very unsatisfactory result. Sim
pie as the task appears, there are many
vexatious little mistakes which a boy
is almost sure to make if left wholly to
his devices.
To begin with, it is necessary to OBJ
tain four spruce sticks about three
inches square, SO inches long, planned
on all sides, for the legs; then get
two pieces of clear pine or wildwood
three feet long and six OF eight inches
wide, and two more the same length
three inches wide. These pieces should
be ia inches in thickness and planed
on all sides.
Lay two of the legs three feet apart
on a smooth floor, and with screws join
the ends by means of a wide strip. Six
inches up from the free ends mark with
a lead pencil where the narrow strip
would lie, and cut laps in the legs with
a saw and chisei so that the narrow
strip will fit tightly in them. Screw
this fast also, and as a result one of the
end supports will be finished and will
appear as shown in Fig. /. Fasten the
other two pieces in a similar n
Then take two pieces of clear pine
five feet long, eight inches wide and
seven-eighths of an inch in thickness;
these are for the sides, OF aprons, and
must be securely screwed to the upper
end of each leg. Make holes ten inches
