Illustration of Henry Ward 5eecher's
Excellence at Repsrtee.
That Henry Ward Beecher was
spared much embarrassment by his
quickness at repartee is illustrated
by the following story:
One evening. as he was in the midst
of an impassioned speech, someone
attempted TO interrupt him by sud
denly growing like a rooster. 1t was
done TO perfection; number of peo-
pie laughed in spite of themselves,
and the speakers friends felt that in
a moment the whole effect of the meet
ing. and of Mr.. Beecher's thrilling ap
peals. might be lost. The orator. how
ever, was equal to the occasion. He
stopped, listened till the growing
ceased. and then. with lock of sur
prise, pulled out his watch.
Morning already" he said: my
watch is only at ten. But there can
be no mistake about it. The instincts
or the lower animals are infallible."
There was a rear of laughter. The
lower animal in the gallery col
lapsed. and Mr.. Bsecher was able to
resume as if nothing had occurred

ARSENIC TO POISON TREES.
Simple Matter to Get Rid of Unwel-
come Foliage.

A gardener discovered the fact re-
Gently that trees are often sent to an
untimely death by poison. usually ar
senic. The reason for this does not
appear until one hears the mans ex-
PLANTATION. Suppose man has rented
a house which has too much shade.
the law will not allow him TO have
one or more of the trees cut down
without the consent or the owner. AS
II often happens that tenants ana
landlords hold different views on the
subject of shade the trees remain as
a bone of contention. 1t is then that
the gardener is called to administer
a dose of poison. for when a tree is
dead the tenant may have it removed
Five cents worth of arsenic is suf-
hcient to kill large tree. A hole is
made in the trunk, the arsenic drop
ped in, and nature does the rest. 1t
never fails.
