Wolves, tigers, leop"..ls and other
carnivora are difficult to poison be-
cause Of the power which they have of
rapidly getting rid of the drug. Lions,
on the other hand, are very frequently
poisoned, as they eat voraciously and
quickly, more like dog than the other
large felidae. 1t is said that good
many lion skins, especially those
brought back by foreign counts and
others from Somallland before the re-
grettable misunderstanding between
whites and blacks had begun in that
region famous for large game, were
obtained by the unsportsmanlike meth
cd of poisoning carcasses and leaving
them for the lions TO devour.
Cattle which have no less than four
stomachs, are hopelessly poisoned IL

JAVAS DEATH PLANT.
y Grows only ON the sterile Soil of
the Volcanic Regions.

Java, the land of the famous and
much exaggerated Death valley, has
many wonderful curi0stios. the prin.
clpal one being the kali mujah, or
death plant. II grows only ON the
sterile soils Of the vo canic regions of
Java and the adjoining Islands and IL
even there reckoned rs Il curiosity on
account of its extreme scarcity. II
grows from two and half to three
feet In height with long, slender
stems. well protected by stout thorns
nearly an inch In length. The ground
leaves are OF delicate, satlnllke
smoothness, heart shaped, emerald
green on one side aud blood red
streaked anS veined with light bun, on
the other.
The flowers of this death dealing
the plant itself, being very large and
cup shaped and of n color almost
deathly in its whlteness. The name of
the plant is from a characteristic Of
these splendid flowers, which, bcauti-
full though they are, continually drip
with deadly poison.
The poison, which is distilled In the
bottom of the cup shaped blossom, has
the slckening odor of chlorOform In
tensifed dozen fold, it being power
ful enough TO overcome II full grown
man in few seconds, even when in
hailed in open air. The perfume. If
such pungent odor can properly be
so called. produces insensibiiity in the
form of commissions, distorting the
face. especially the mouth and eyes,
into horrid, crazy looking grin. Re
covery from the effects of inhaling this
odor is said TO be very slow.

A Purpose.

A purpose is always companion.
An earnest purpose is the closest Of
companions. To fulfill duties is more
than to enjoy pleasures. 1t carries its
own reward. There is no bitter lone
liness for those affectionately devoted
to blessing their fellow creatures. The
keeper of the lighthouse when night
settles around him and the tempest
holds revelry and he looks out on the
ghastly glare of the breakers and hears
the shrieking of the storm fiend. finds
good company in the thought that the
friendly light he trims will warn en-
dangered crews Of their peril and per-
haps save them from death. Gifted
souls find solace and companionship
In their works.

The story Of Christian missions in Siam
and Burmah reads like q fairy tale. It
seems as II the very angel Of the Lord just
went ahead Of the missionaries and opened
softly the doors, giving the missionaries
such hold upon the people that 1t was
through their interposition instead Of
through the usual Intermediates that me-
gotiations were carried on between Siam
and our own country. 1t IL true there was
some opposition at the very first from the
king, who would not allow his subjects to
rent property to the missionaries. nor to be
spoken to on the subject Of religion; but
just ~ encouragement was settling down
upon the faithful ones who had gone out
