The Poison of tho Lily.

A German botanist has discovered
that the pretty flower known as the
lily of the valley contains a poison of
the most deadly kind. Not only the
flower itself but also the stem as well
contains an appreciable quantity Of
prussc acid. While injecting concoc.
Etion Of lily of the valley into the ear Of
a guinea pig he noticed the animal sue.
.cumbed Immediately, with all the
symptoms Of poisoning by hydrocyanic
acid, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Chemical analysis of the little plant
ihas disclosed, however, the presence Of
this poisonous constituent, to which
strange to say-scientists attribute pre-
'cisely the penetrating perfume Of the
lily Of the valley. The attention of the
German botanist has been drawn by
the fact that one of his gardeners has
felt himself seized with dizziness and
vomiting after having inadvertently
raised bunch OF lilies of the valley to
his mouth, the lips of which were
cracked.

The rude boys of the neighborhood,
having learned that there had been a
wedding in the lone brick house near
the edge Of town that evening, had
been giving the happy couple a SER
enade with tin horns. cowbells and
other musical instruments for four or
Ave hours, when an upper window was
raised and q nightcapped head was
thrust forth.
Don't stop If you're having a good
time, boys" said voice pertaining to
the nightcapped head. You amt

that was married here this evenin'

eral married bellies when a beautiful
young matron, as yet on the outskirts
of the exclusive SET entered the room.
The newcomer, whose first appearance
it was, proved herself quite equal to
the occasion. She had nodding ac-
quaintance with nearly every woman
in the room. Some of them even went
to her luncheon parties. Calmly turn
ing to the most supercilious critics in
the room, she echoed, as though in
reply:
How did get here? l drove here,
my dear Mrs. Crossbeam. Did you
walk?"-Lippincott's Magazine.

bird that ever shut up q political
"windjammer," the Melbourne Punch
deems its escapade worthy to be put
on record. A general election was on,
and one Of the candidates for the dis
trict had engaged hall wherein to
address the electors. There was a
great attendance, and the candidate
went from scratch with a rush, but at
the end Of five minutes was interrupted
by thin, croaking voice, like that Of a
little imp suffering from whooping
cough, which called from one of. the
rafters: "Oh, I'm full of thisp'
The crowd. suddenly discovering the
cockatoo on his perch aloft, laughed
uproariously. A long string OF insults
at the crowd came from the rafters.
The candidate tried to get going again.
"The mans an ass" was the cocka-
too's comment. and he jerked it in after
every solemn expression Of the candi-
dates opinion.
At last the candidates patience gave
way, and. seizing the water bottle. he
hurled 1t furiously at the Incorporate
bird. 1t broke a window, and excited
the bird to further efforts. Picking out
the candidate, he heaped reproaches
and insults upon him. The bird
won; finding nothing left to throw.
and unable to make any impression on
the roaring audience, the politician hied
himself from the hall, and the evil
bird gave the last touch by calling
pleasantly: $50 long, so long" The
meeting forthwith carried a resolution
to the effect that the cockatoo was a
fit and proper party to represent that
district in Parliament.

Tho Enduring Pie.

The young women at the University
of Indianapolis contended in a debate
with the young men that "pie is not
Of greater service to mankind than
ice cream" When these young wo-
men become experienced wives they
will feel shame that they should have
decried the value Of pie. When there
are big bills for spring hats and spring
dresses to be paid, they will fill their
husbands with pie, knowing that un-
der its benign influence all the genial
and generous impulses will be awak-
ened. The fancy for ice cream is a
mere passing characteristic Of young
womanhood; but the passion for pie
which fills the breast of every normal
man is an enduring source of happi-
ness to the tactful wife.

Moreau was French poodle who
would have performed tricks If any
pains had been taken with his educa-
ton, but Farmer Bradley and his wife
were too busy for that. He was taught
to drive the cows to pasture and to
bring them home at night A gate
was constructed at the end Of the lane
in such a manner that it swung both
ways. So, when the farmer said:
"Moreau, it is time to get the cows"
he started without a word and ran
down the lane. II the cows were wait
ing, he would push the sate open, and
hold it open with his paws for them to
go through. But, If they had not come,
he would go around the pasture and
get them together, drive them up. and

for the first week in April was more

What Is sauce for the goose is said
to be, or should be, sauce for the gan
der, and that is generally apple sauce.
But at Chapel st. Leonards in England
a goose escaped all kinds Of dressing
and died at the ripe age Of twenty
eight years. She hatched out nine gos-
lings regularly year after year, but few
Of her descendants survived her. AS
the mere man who owned her got
eight shilllngs apiece for the brood,
she may be said to have laid silver
eggs, If not golden ones. At any rate
she yielded him the tidy sum of f100
16s., her family having reached the
amazing total Of 252. She was q
familiar and respected figure, but it is
hard to say why burial service was
held over her grave and the bell tolled.

To go fishing on land is probably q

grandfather has told you how he used
to catch mice in the pantry. If he
were like my grandfather he had very
little money when he was a boy. and
one cent meant as much to him as ten
cents does to most boys nowadays. and
he used to earn q cent for every ten
mice he caught.
