TOAD POISON.
Acid Obtained From the Skin Will Par
alyze Human Nerves.

c. Phisalix and G. Bertrand have
succeeded in isolating two toxic prin-
ciples from the psrotid gland and skin
of the common toal, Bufo vulgaris. OF
these bufotaile occl.rs as a Trans
parent resin, very soluble in alcohol,
chloroform and acetone; less soluble in
ether, and almost insoluble in petro-
leum ether or carbon disulphide 1t
is precipitated from alcoholic solution
Oil the addition of water, forming an
emulsion, which is redissolved on
further adding a large volume of
water. Although very dilute, the so
luton thus obtained is extremely toxic
to frogs. 1t acts on the heart, and
does not affect the nervous system.
Applied to the tongue, it has a bitter
taste and gives rise to a peculiar and
very persistent sensation. 1t is OBJ
tanned by squeezing the parotid glands
of the animals under water. The APP
alescent acid liquid thus resulting is
filtered through a Chamberlain filter
and evaporated. During evaporation
a less soluble portion separates as a
forms. 1t is washed with water and
redissolved in absolute alcohol; the
alcohol is distilled off, and the residue,
dissolved in water, is treated with
basic lead acetate. The lead precipi.
tate, decomposed by HIS liberates an
other toxic body bufotenine, which is
purified from adherent bufotaline by
treatment with chlorofolm in which
the former is insoluble, and by ether,
which removes the acetic acid. Bufo-
tenine exerts powerful paralyzing
action on the nervous centers. Faust
has also isolated bufotaline, but since
he worked upon the alcoholic extract
of the dried skins of the animals, his
product is considered by the authors
to have been impure. They find that
this extract contains a substance
which has no relation to the toxic
body This is the body named bu-
fonine by Faust, which does not occur
in the pure secretion of the glands

stall for cows that will permit one cow
to step on its neighbours teats. When
/ used the stanchion as a COW tie lost
more teats from this than any other
cause, the bruise causing Inflammation
which could not be reduced in time to
save that quarter of the udder. l can
recommend no stall in which it is pos
sible for such an accident to occur.
When finishing cement floor for a
COW stable, do not smooth the surface
with the trowel, as it will be so smooth
that the COW will slip on it, but leave it
as it is from the wooden float and she
will not slip on it.
| cannot decide whether a person
shall build one story cow stable or
whether he shall make it two or three
stories; that depends on what he is go
ing to do. If storage room is needed
for hay, grain or other purposes, put
the barn up and get this needed room
under the same roof with the cows.
1t is an advantage to the cow stable in
some ways to have a story above it;
one reason is that it makes the ceiling
warmer and there is less danger of
frost on it in cold weather Ten feet is
good height for the cow stable; eight
feet will answer, but would not build
with less than ten-foOt ceilings. have
one stable with twelve-foot ceilings,
but that is higher than is necessary.
The old idea that we should build &
cow stable with certain number OF
cubic feet per COW for air space ought
to be exploded, as it is not up to date.
Arrange the floor space to make it con-
yenient for the cows and yourself, and
provide fresh air by a system of venti-
lation. | have the King system of
ventilation in four cow stables and it
works very satisfactory. This has
been described so frequently in the
dairy papers that it seems almost I'M
necessary to describe it here. 1t con-
sists of air flues in the outer walls of
the building, opening near the floor, Or
at the stills on the outside, and extend.
ing upward as high as the stable cell
ing, and there opening into the stable.
These flues should have a sliding or
SOluS OtHeI COHIIOlldDIe hluu OI uOOr
by which the amount of air can be con-
trolled, as in case of a strong wind
there may be at times too much cold
air received into the stable The i'm
pure air is taken out by fiues opening
near the floor of the stables and ex-
tending to the highest point of the
barn or stable. find this principle to
work very nicely, having used it for at
least fifteen years as near as | can
remember. | once had visitors test
the ventilation of an empty stable by
closing all the doors and windows,
when test showed a circulation of air
was going on all the time, coming in
the fresh air flues and going out the
foul air flues.

loss of the schooner Ella Brown, sew
eral of the Peabody family of Jones,
port having gone down in that vessel
IN the great November northeaster last
year.
The natives of the Maine coast
towns and of the islands that are
strewn along shore from Portland to
Quoddy Head are among the finest
sailors in the world. They are sailors
from force of circumstance, hardy
from inheritance and "cute" because
they are Yankees. No other men
could make living out of coasting in
these waters, and how the natives do
1t is source of wonder to every one
who ever studied the subject. The
coaster begins going" when he is IL
or IA years old, and quits when he is
too old to stand a watch at the wheel,
II he manages to stay above water
that long. Man or boy, he is general
ly lank and lean, with skin like
leather, constitution of iron and ca
pacity to endure great hardships with
out complaint. His vessel is generally
of great age and small size-50 to $50
tons and 20 to 60 years old, rugged as
a two-masted schooner. Generally she
is dull sailer, and almost always she
leaks like basket. Only the fact that
he carries lumber accounts for her be-
in so long afioat-hundreds of the old
hookers now going would have been
on bottom long ago only their cargoes
wouldn't let them sink.

THE TESTING OF FATHER.

When faint the city whistles blow
And milk carts rumble to and fro;
When the glad sunbeams newly fling
Abroad their promises of spring.
Then father to the garden goes
And rakes and digs and plants and
hoes.
When he has placed beneath the loan
About his glad suburban home.
Lettuce and beans and trailing vine,
And proudly says, "All this is mine'
And joyous hears the breakfast bell
And feels his bosom proudly swell
What sounds portentous on the breeze
Cause his slow curdling blood to
freeze?
There, cackllng singly or together,
With feet steel shod and lungs OF
leather,
The neighbors soul destroying hens
Have flown their fragile malleshift
pens!
The big white rooster proudly leads!
The air is full of garden seeds.
The old hen lifts with rapid scoops
Earth, stumps, sod, gravel and the
roots
That pa has planted with such care
And left to grow in comfort there.
IT'S nothing but Astounding grace
That holdeth father in his place;
Instead of clubbing every hen
He plants the garden once again.
And ma says, with expression sage.
yer fathers mellerin' with age"

THE DOWN EAST COASTER.

mess Man.
OF all the sailors on the sea. the
down east coaster does the hardest
work, braves the greatest dangers and
gets the poorest rewards. His occu-
patton has been aptly described as
tempting fate at S25 a month"; The
coaster is an unsung hero, but he is
unconscious of that and would call II
square if freights were fairly good
from Bangor to Boston and there were
not more than 10 consecutive days of
easterly wind in any one month.
The Maine coaster is a queer mix
ture of sailor, farmer and business
man, and frequently he is also an ex-
pert deep-sea fisherman. Many of the
masters of the little schooners have
in their younger days sailed round and
round the world, finally settling down
in some seacoast village and buying
small craft of which they can be at
once the managing owner and skipper,
and in which they can make a living
by eight months sailing, hauling the
vessel up and taking comfort at home
from Thanksgiving or christmas till
spring. Some of the masters sail YES
sells owned by other people, either for
a stated salary or ION shares" and oc-
caslonally it happens that the vessel
is sort of family affair, being owned
and manned by father and sons or by
brothers. in times OF disaster this ar
rangement is most unfortunate, for
when the vessel goes down the whole
family is likely to go with her, leaving
behind pitiful array of widows and
orphans. Such a case occurred in the
