Mr.. Moss was questioned about the
reported wholesale poisoning of

trict in Indian valley.
He said the sheep had been poi

persons, as at first supposed The
salt had been examined and was
found pure, and the conclusion was
that the sheep were killed from eat
ing poisonous weed. A man named

The symptoms of the ailment are
quite peculiar. After eating the
poisonous weed the head and ears
of the sheep swell up almost to the
bursting point, and within two hours
the animals die. Some have been
saved by Sitting the ears, which
bled profusely and the flow of blood
seems to relieve the animal.
Mr.. Moss did not think the dan
ger from the weed was very serious,
as it has only been reported in part
of the Indian valley.

Is the Lion Intelligent?

After prolonged experiment, Nj.
Hachet-Souplet has reached the con-
clusion that there can be no doubt that
the lion is the possessor of reasoning
faculties. Of course this conclusion
is based on observation, not on hypo-
thesis. Among the experiments was
one which took place at the Museum Of
Natural History, within a stone-throw
of the statue of Cheyreul, the scientist
centenarian. A lion was presented un-
aware with closed box containing an
appetizins piece of meat. The point
to determine was whether the animal
would be smart enough to discover the
secret, open the box and secure the
coveted morsei through means of his
own. The king of animals did not dis
appoint the scientist who had faith in
his Judgment. After hesitating little.
the lion raised the lid of the box with
his nose, and although he went at it at
first in the wrong way, he deliberately
put the box in the proper position. ex-
actly as a man would have done. 1t
took him exactly three minutes, and
a written report of the occurrence was
signed by the witnesses.

The Trade of Palestine.

The account Of the trade of Palestine
during the year 1900, given in the cou-
sular report recently issued, is fairly
hopeful, though neither the exports
nor the imports reach the level at
tanned in 1889. The prosperity Of the
country depends still, as it always has
done. and most probably always will
do, upon the fruits of the earth. Cen
turies before the present era, corn and
wine and oil We're among the chief
boons Of the promised land" and
though we hear little now Of the first,

cient reputation. To melons, which
also were valued in ancient days, q
new fruit has been added-the orange.

have declined considerably in value
the last few years. Jaffa oranges,
however, maintain their reputation, SO
that it may be hoped that the depres
sion is only temporary. Southern Pal

vineyards; it was Judah who ''bound
his foal to the vine and washed his

A Pretty Broad Hint.

An anecdote is told of one of the
smaller South American republics
which illustrates the methods which
are adopted when it comes to a ques-
ton of making war. The navy" of
the particular power referred to con-
sists Of a single, old-fashioned, side
wheel steamer, armed with one gun.
In time of peace she is engaged in haul
ing freight up and down the river
which runs close to the capital. At the
outbreak of one of the periodical wars,
not so very long ago, the President of
the republic took charge of the steamer
and started up stream on a recruiting
expedition, leaving his senior general
in charge Of the military preparations
at the capital. A couple of days later
the steamer returned, and some sew
enty miserable looking natives, each
firmly bound with a strong rope, were
marched off and turned over to the gen
eral. with a note from the President
which read:
Dear General: send you herewith
seventy volunteers. Please return the
ropes at once"

Elder SaIvini.
F, From the sublime to the ridiculous Is
but step. and in an anecdote recently
related by Clara Morris, the feet which
took that step are very conspicuous.
1t was when Tommaso Salyini was in
this country. The play of the evening
was "Othello," and the scene of Desde-
mona's death had been reached.
Already the raging Moor had slain
his innocent victim. and disturbed by
Emilia's knock. had let fall the cur
tains before the couch on which the
body lay The draperies provided. al
though rich and heavy. did not come to
the floor. They missed it by space
of at least foot, and this the deceased
Desdemona unfortunately failed to
observe.
| The audience, which had been held
tense and breathless under the tragic
spell Of the great actor. suddenly ut
tered curious, long-drawn breath OF
amazement, followed by bobbing OF
many heads, universal craning Of
necks, and then, to poor Salvini's be-
wilderment and dismay, by burst of
downright laughter. He could perceive
nothing amiss, and there was nothing
for him to do but to ignore the laugh
ter and proceed with the scene. But no
wonder the people laughed!
The murdered Desdomona had risen
and was evidently sitting on the side
of the couch, for beneath the curtains
her dangling feet were plainly seen,
kicking cheerfully back and forth.
Such utterly unconscious feet they
were that the audience might not have
laughed again had they kept still; but
all at once they began a heel-and-toe
step. and people rocked back and forth
trying to suppress their merriment
And then swiftly the toe of the right
foot went to the back of the left ankle
and scratched vigorously.
Restraint was ended; every one 1et
go and laughed and laughed. From the
box one could see in the entrance the
outspread fingers, the hoisted shoui
ders, the despairingly shaken heads OF
the Italian actors, who could find nc
cause for the uproar.
Salvini behaved perfectly in that dis
turbed and distressed, he showed nc
sign of anger, but maintained his dig
nifty through it all, even when, In draw
ing the curtains and disclosing Desde
mona dead once more, the incompre
hensible laughter again broke out

Abel Judkins kept the corner store in

Occasionally some unreasonable per-

Intelligent SQUIRRELS.

A party of young people, who in last
summers holiday journeyed through
the country gypsy-like in a caravan.
witnessed in grove near glen the
following incident, which seems to
show a friendly understanding among
squirrels:
An al fresco dinner had just been
finished and the party were still sitting
at the table, when red squirrel, with
glistening, eager eyes, came creeping
down a tree which stood near the ta-
BILE. He crept nearer and nearer. and
finally leaped upon the table.
The lady who was presiding said:
Eyes, help yourself to anything you
want"
Upon this invitation the little fellow
made bold. to creep up to loaf of
bread from which only a slice or two
had been cut. He seized it and
dragged it to the side of the table, and
somehow managed to scramble down
the side with it to the ground. He
then fixed his teeth in the crust, and
dragged it away and down the steep
sides of the glen.
But when he reached the bottom and
confronted the rise on the other side.
it was too much for him. Then he gave
a sort of call, which seemed to be un-
derstood, for soon squirrels were seen
coming from several directions. They
crowded round him, and after little
conference all took hold, and with a
tug and strain they managed to bring
the loaf to the top of the hill. Then
they disappeared with it in the woods
beyond.-Family Herald.

A couple of days afterward the girl
was told that she was so much better
that she was going to be moved into
another room; and, despite her reluct-
ance, the change was made.
The next day she showed languid
pleasure at her pretty and novel sur

she gradually acquired an appetite. In
a pretty new dressing jacket, she re-
ceiyed the compliments of the doctor

A story Of his youth, told in the New

When he was a young man he was
reticent, and at evening receptions used
to paste himself iat against the wall
