IN THE INTEREST OF SCIENCE.
One of the Drawbacks to Social In.
timacy with a Chemist of Blunt
Faculties.

When ones friend is scientist and
given to experiments little caution
may not be out of place before con-
senting to do him favor. That,
however, did not occur to certain
well-known public man whose expert
ence is related in an Australian paper.
He went to the laboratory of an
old schoolmate, a Melbourne profess
or of chemistry, to make friendly
call. The professor was studying a
dark brown substance spread out on
sheet of paper.
II say" he cried, when greetings
had been exchanged, would you
kindly let me place bit of this on
your tongue? My taste has become
vitiated by trying all sorts of things"
Certainly responded the accom-
modating friend, and he promptly
opened his mouth.
The professor took up some of the
substance under analysis and put it
on his friends tongue. The man
worked it around in his mouth for
fully minute, tasting it as much as
he might have tasted a choice confec-
ton.
"Note any effect?" asked the pro-
fessor.
''No, none"
cit doesn't paralyze or prick your
tongue?"
"Not than I can detect"
81 thought not. There are no aka
loids in it, then. How does it taste?"
glitter as GALL
"Hem-m-m! All right"
By this time the visitors curiosity
was aroused. 'But what is it, any
how?" he inquired.
81 don't know. That's what I'm
trying to find out. Someone has been
poisoning horses with it."

It was much longer shot than I
had to make, and mine would prob
l'ably have been. a. miss, since no
amount of calculation will make any
certainty an. such shots. l was so par
alyzed with surprise that instead of
shooting at the other buck, which
was bounding away in plain sight, I
stood waiting for Boswell to shoot
at it. But, like all tenderfeet, he
had to take repeater down from his
shoulder to work the lever, and that
little scrap of time is so valuable that
before he could get sight with it, or
before I could come to my senses
again, the deer had whirled around a
point of rocks and down into bushy
gulch.
"WelI,. do you think now there is
anything in California;" asked, as
huge smile illumined the somber
| brush around the dead deer, which
was. struck squarely in the middle of
the neck.
"You bet your boots there is.
There's chap that can shoot" re-
piled the proprietor of the smile.
I didn't have much to say to that,
and he resumed:
"Durned poor shot, though, too,
I'm out of practice some. 1 meant
to hit him right where the spinal col
umn joins the brain, and burned if I
amt three inches too far back. Talk
about your antiseptics. Bah! You
don't need any if you point the gun
right. You want to touch the spinal
marrow and then you won't have to
chase any wounded ones around in
the brush. And if you amt too slow
about it you don't need to take many
long shots"
I stood half paralyzed again at his
audacity, for when deer is struck at
the top of his leap at such distance
it is certain that he was at the low
est point of the arch when the trig-
ger was pulled and the danger OF
overshooting is so great anyhow that
no one of experience tries to aim a
ball so that deer will rise to meet
it, but just the reverse, so that he will
descend to meet it. And even if the
deer were standing still, such a shot
would be the last one of any sense
would try to make for the mark is
far too small. But I was afraid to
argue the point with him, and at last
ventured timidly to ask:
eff you are such fine shot as that,
why didn't you take the other one?"
"Great Caesar! How many bucks
do you want in one day? Do you
take me for game hog?" he replied,
with an air of establishment that
would have made reputation on the
stage.-Los Angeles Herald Illustrated
Magazine.

LANGUAGE OF THE TURKEY.
An English Naturalist Thinks He
Understands the Meaning Of
the GObbler's Cries.

Nelson Wood, an English scientist,
has made lifelong study of the lam
guage of birds, and he thinks he can
not only understand what many of the
feathered creatures are saying, but
also express things to them which they
understand. He has many interesting
things to tell about the birds he has
met, says report from London.
The creatures of the air, so he says,
talk the least; turkeys chickens and
such feathered creatures, as they do
not fly very much, talks the most. The
explanation of this is natural.
The birds that do not fly are always
in more danger and they have many
notes of warning. Language among
them, of course, as it must have been
with primitive man, is but an EXPIRES
sion of the simplest needs: Danger,
hunger, warning, pleasure and such
sensations are the first emotions ex-
pressed.
To illustrate the various calls which
a turkey has, Mr.. Wood cites note for
overhead danger, another for danger
on the ground, third for hawk in
the distance, another of complaint
when being driven, different call in
open meadow from that in bushes, a
special signal at night, as we'll as spe-
cial kind of note used in ordinary con-
versa ton.
Chickens have even more modes of
expression. A hen has three distinct
songs, one when seeking her nest, an
other for calling her mate and third
for grooming to herself or in the search
of food
The rooster has several distinct
notes, and Mr.. Wood says that some of
these the ordinary person never OBJ
serves. There is one, a low, fine
whistle which the rooster uses some
times on dark day when going to
roost, but when the rooster really be-
gins to carry on an extensive conversa-
ton is when he meets another chan
ticleer in battle.
1t ranges all the way from defiant
chuckle which invites the other fellow
to fight as surely as the proverbial chip
on a boys shoulder, to a feminine
Groom which means fear and desire to
retire.
Perhaps of all birds the parrot is the
most intelligent. People have been ac-
customed to think of the parrot as
simply a mimic, but Mr.. Wood retends
to have known many that actually I'M
derstood the words they were saving.
One of his parrot friends always sa-
luted him with "Good morning. early
in the day and "Good night" at night.
The ability of crows to smell gun
powder long distance off has always
been asserted for them, and those who
have studied the birds to any extent
easily recognize varying caws, showing
fear, warning or affection, as the case
may be. That birds are able to- ex-
press pleasure everyone knows. The
cheerful lit of the songsters is only
one way in which they show their JOY
of living in such good world as this.

a LITTLE GRAVE.

Thrice now the wintry winds have blown
Above the yellow grass blades here.
And thrice the birds1have sung and flown,
And thrice the leaves, all brown and
Sere,
Have drifted softly, gently down,
While i, to win the praise of. men,,
Have labored in the busy. town.
Forgetting now and then: X
Forgetting? Nay, have but tried
To laugh the ready tears away;
With but an outward show of pride
still have incurred from day to day,
And left the busy market-place,
At night, to sit apart, alone,
And, dreaming, feel a little face
Pressed softly to my own.
Thrice now the wintry winds have swept
Above my darling, sleeping here,
And I, unseen, to-day have wept
Out many a long, long treasured tear,
And where my hopeless teardrops fell
New flowers of hope have bloomed for
me
Oh, I'll be glad in doing well,
Since one l love shall see.

SpirituaIfsm Declining:

Ithas been the general observation that for
some years past spiritualism has been in a
gradual decline. This is the law with every
thing, that is not founded on true merit.
The reason Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has been recognized as the leading family
medicine during the past fifty years is be-
cause it is founded on true merit, and has
always been found reliable in cases of indi-
gestlon, dyspepsia, constipation and bilious
ness. Try bottle and satisfy yourself.

A WESTERN CANADA
FARMER.
Seven Years Ago he Had But $24;
Now He Has Seventy Head
of Cattle.
This Is What a Couple of Eastern
Farmers Learned When on a Re-
cent Trip to Canada-SpIendid
Words About Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Hague Dis
trict Where They
VIII Locate.

/ Messrs. J. E. Blum and ]. Grumper,
of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi-
gan, paid visit to Alberta last sum-
mer and saw there a Mr.. Shantz, one of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-some seven years
ago-from Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 20 head of cattle,
has good log house framed over,
also good barn and in all respects
looks thrifty and well-to-do farmer.
He had some good crops of oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and Balgonie where the crops APP
tpeared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing of the South Saskatchewan
River. Of this district they say
"The country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
/ eighteen miles in northwesterly direc-
ton through the Smith settlement.
This is wonderful district, the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion that we had
found what we were looking for, a
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gen.
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance and wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
report may have the effect of draw
ing the attention of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
a good thing. AS farmers ourselves,
from good district in Michigan, we
have come to the conclusion that prop
erly farmed Western Canada will grow
almost anything" Ask for informa-
ton from any agent of the Canadian
government.
