The editor of the American Journal of Pharmacy, remarking upon the im- muaity of certain domestic animals against particular potsons. suggests that medicinal roots. fruits and seeds, being rich in nutritiEe materials. may economically be turned to account as food for animals, instead Of being thrown away as being of no value after their medicinal constituents have been extracted.
 A letter in a Glasgow. paper records g phenomenon much too unique to be reserved for Scottish consumption. The writer says: An acquaintance of mine who lives up north has among others Of the feathered tribe a little bantam cock A few weeks ago he noticed that < was looking the worse for a slight difference of opinion with canine tfiend, but did not examine it closely. till his mothers and sisters vocifera- lions brought him in in a hurry. There vas the bantam picking away at corn. but the corn was dropping from a rent in the birds chest just as fast as 1t vas lifted. Not wanting to kill the bird, my friend get a needle and some horsehair and stitched up the tear, with the result that the bird now is as good as new.
 t seems pretty well authenticated that the human voice is capable Of starting an avalanche. James Perch ard, clerk of the state Court of Appeals of one of our western states. was min Ing some years ago in a mountainous region. The snow had fallen to an un- usual depth and miners moving from one cabin to another were warned to look out for slides He stopped on one of bis trips at the cabin of an acquaint- anee and took dinner with him and his wife. At the close of the meal his host urged him to stay awhile. but he felt nervous and started on his journey. Crossing the canyon. he looked back at the cabin where the man and his wife were standing at the door. He waved his hand and shouted good-by. Hardly had the echo of his voice died away before a mufled noise struck his cara noise like the boom of a can non-and in five seconds the cabin was buried under fifty feet of snow. As sistanee was summoned and finally the two dead bodies were taken out. There is little question that under certain conditions the vibrations of the human voice will produce an avalanche.

RELICS.

Relics of the revolutionary days,
when the British warships in New
York harbor threw shells and solid
shot into what is now the most thickly
populated city in the country, We're I'M
earthed the other day in old Lion Park,
where workmen are eXcavating for the
new skyscraper. The relics are huge,
rusty cannon balls and numerous old
English coins. One of the buildings
that was a target for the British bonn
bardment still stands intact, in City
Hall Park apparently as firm and
staunch as some of the more imposing
modern structures that look over it.
The building is now designated as the
Hall of Records.

According to an observant Philadel-

the careless smoker is largely respon-

"Just watch 1t any time" he remark

not correct. The average smoker of
cigar will talk or think regardless OF
his weed until 1t goes out. Then he
will suddenly discover the absence of
the fire which makes a cigar enjoyable.
Out from his pocket comes a match,
and in an instant ii has been struck
and the lighted lucifer placed against
the cigar end.
"In his eagerness to get another light.
however, the smoker has, in nine cases
out of ten. forgotten to knock the
ashes off his weed. AS result the
fame from the match fails to pene-
trate the ash heap, and the match
fame doesn't cut any figure. I've seen
II so many times that don't laugh at
1t any more, but 1t must be funny to
casual onlookers. After this when your
cigars go out before they are consumed
be sure and knock the ashes off before
trying to relight them. Then you will
stand a fair chance of securing another
light and at the same time put kink
