Poison Proof Animals.

Seithcr differences of organization In
animals nor in the constitution of the
poisonous substance generally afford
any clew FOR interpreting an exception
al want of effect. Unaccountable is
the immunity of rabbits against bella
donna leaves (Atropa belladonna, dead
ly nightshade). You may feed them
with belladonna for weeks without OBJ
serving she least toxic symptoms. The
meat of such animals. however. proves
poisonous to any one who eats il, pro-
ducinG the same symptoms as the
plant.
Pigeons and various other herbivora
are also to some degree safe from the
effects of this poison. while in warm
blooded carnivOra it Causes paralysis
and asphyXia. In frogs tho effect
is different one. consisting of spasms.
The meat of goats which had fed on
hemlocls has sometimes Occasioned
poisonous effects. Chickens are near
~ hardy against nuX vomica and the
extremely dangerous alkaloid. strych-
nine. contained I'm 1t. while in the
smallest amount it is fatal poison TO
rodents.
More remarkable yet in this respect
is the immunity of CholGpus hoffman
nj. kind OF sloth living on the island
OF Ceylon, which. when given ten
grains OF strychnine, was not much af-
fectcd. Pigeons are possessed of high
immunity from morphine, the chief al

Straps Are Smart.

A favoritc mode OF Snlartening s

seam across the chest with series OF
buttons and straps. This is not the
somewhat passe mode of strappine

breasted. and the little straps are Sc,
on beneath the hemmed edge. They al,
have one worked button hole. which

Zeal for the Right.

There was once a monk extremely
fond of playing ball, and when some of
his less muscular. but perhaps not less
heavenly minded, associates took him to
task for his interest in a Purely human
pleasure and asked what he would do
If Christ should come and find him
playing ball. he replied: Il would play
ball the best l knew how" Better than
idle gazing up into heaven, better than
frequent computation on the basis Of
certain figures in Daniel and Revela-
ton, better than the purpose to put on
some exceptional behavior as q garment
in which to welcome the heavenly
Guest, is the constant purpose and
effort to do the thing given us to do in
the BEST possible way, as an artist
paints a picture, as Christ himself lived
and wrought in his humble home in
Nazareth In this way we shall be true
followers Of the great apostle who said:
Whether present or absent, we make
it our aim to he well pleasing to him"

Prea ch to the Sinners.

An attendant upon the services OF
some of our churches would reasonably
infer, from the praying and the preach
ing, that there was neither sin nor sim
ner, neither wrong nor wrongdoer, to
rebuke and condemn, but that aH peo-
pie were sanity, and that society, poll
ties and government were already re-
deemed SO shielded have some Of our
ministers been from their youth up, and
so secluded and partial has been their
clerical life. that they really have no
practical knowledge Of the world in
which they live, nor of the average ex-
perience of the people with whom they
have TO do. Their pulpit work. there
fore, lacks the humanness and SYM
pathetic touch with life which is needed
to give it effectiveness and moral grip.

dress themselves to men shot through

me into the concern as silent part

the minister. "Well. to be frank,

The man Of God replied, gravely:

Expectance of the Divine Prcsence.

You have noticed how q great audi
ence which may have been idling its
time away is hushed into intense silence
and keyed to the highest pitch Of ex-
pectancy by some intimation, which
spreads like lightning through the au-
dience, that the great orator is at hand.
Some such change would certainly come
over the surface of our fevered modern
life if the great expectancy took
possession Of mems hearts everywhere
that the Lord was at hand. If we alb
solutely knew that he was coming to-
LAY, or even tomorrow, would we not

FoldS of Tulle.

If your ready-made tancy neckbanc
proves rather too tight and choky
around the throat you can make il
more comfortable by wearing with ii
folds of black or white tulle. AS the
tulle passes around the top Of the col
lar and continues down both sides at
the fastening point, it is easy to adopt
this fashion for the purpose of giving
an inch of additional leewaJ to the Of
Tending neckband. You won't look
happy. or have good time, If youl
neck is cramped up like a horse with
a checkrein by the tight stock collar.
