The castor oil plant is so universally
detested by the whole OF the animal
world that no bird, beast or creeping

rank poison to all kinds of animals;
even a goat will starve before biting
off leaf, and horse viii sniff at it
and turn his upper lip as if it had the
most detestab.e odor on the face of the
earth. Army worms and the locust

Jerry's Version of 1t.

A prominent Detroit woman with a
great interest in juvenile mission work
has this excellent anecdote to tell:
One of her classes in certain mis-
sion is composed of little street children
to the number of 90 or more whose
ages range from 8 to 6. Most of the
scholars are boys, though now and then
one notices the pinched face of little
daughter of poverty in the ranks.
The other day the lesson was on the
peculiarities of English. Words that
are pronounced alike and spelled differ
emily and words that are pronounced
differently but spelled alike were dis
cussed at length. She explained the diff
ference between lead the metal and
lead the verb, and the children grasped
the point instantly. Then she took the
two words "week'' and weak" She
explained the difference in the meaning
and use to the tots, and then called up
a little fellow, aged s. to use the word
"weak'' in phrase. The little fellow
thought moment, then answered, ga
weak old woman. The teacher nodded
her approval, and smiled into the eyes
upturned to hers.
"Now, Jerry Ryan" she said, turn
ing to another little boy, "you take the
word week and use it in a phrase
Jerry thought a minute, and then,
he, too, replied, "a week old baby. -

with people who came to try their
strength against him. Lord D., great
pugilistic amateur, went from London

the noble lord arrived. His lordship tied
his horse to tree and addressed the
farmer. Friend, I have heard marvel

He Sent the Pork.

Trichina in pork, the cause of the
frightful disease trichinosis in human
consumers, give a peculiar appearance
to meat, which is studded with little
cysts. 1t is then known to the trade as
''measly pork. The learned scientist,
wishing some for study, went to the
butcher and asked if he ever got any
measly pork.
Sometimes, said the butcher eau
tiously, "but l always throw it away. "
"Well," said the professor, 1.-THE next
time you have any wish you'd send
me up some, meaning, of course, to his
laboratory.
The butcher stared at him, but said
he would. Three weeks passed, when
the professor, growing impatient, again
dropped in.

handkerchief, when out sprang what

together, the men made for it, and one
stamped his foot on it, but upon exami-

the handkerchief had coiled up in his
