vENoMOUs EMOTIONS.
Sentiments Which, 1t Is Said, Liter
ally Rnison Our RIood

sentiments Which, 1t Is Said, Liter
ally Poison Our Blood.
Anger, fear, anxiety, are among the
emotions or sentiments which literally
poison our blood. 1t has often been
said that evil thoughts are poisonous
the meaning being that they corrupt
other people, but the real fact is that
they poison our own bodies.
By losing control of ourselves and
indulging In anger, by yielding to anx-
lefty, fear and unwholesome thoughts,
we cause an irritation or disturbance
which, according to the latest sayings
of scientists, has the effect of produc-
ing poison in the blood that may
have serious consequences.
Naturalists declare that the venom
of snakes is generated by anger and
fear; that it is rapidly collected in a
special receptacle and thence dis
charged at the object Of it's anger or
fear, and it is further explained that
the same process takes place in the
human body, but that we have no spe-
cial organ to receive it, and 1t therefore
disperses in the blood, acting against
ourselves instead of for our protection.
Be that as 1t may, it is generally con-
coded that we are literally poisoned by
the emotions mentioned and by any
sentiment or passion which upsets the
smooth working of our minds.-Home

Miss Breen," he went on, "but you

You say man should know the girl.
That is well if he can. But now sup

Is that he wants to know more. Per

revelation of herself"
They were silent for a long time aft
er this. The short winter day was al
most gone. They could yet see each
other through the twilight.
Miss Breen, did you ever hear that
l was a millionaire2" The question
came from Roscommon with startling
suddenness. His tone was harsh and
had a ring of self satisfaction In It.
Madge Breen turned impulslvely and
then looked away, but not before he
was aware Of the hurt, disappointed
expression in her wide open eyes.
No, and l hate you for telling me
now" she flashed.
Il did not tell you. only asked a
question" The harshness was all gone
from his tone. For the first time that
afternoon Roscommon's voice grew
tender. He leaned toward his compan-
ion and said:
'They told me you cared only for
money that you had no heart. knew
they lied, but l wanted you to prove it
to me- You have shown me the girl l

'And you haven't once said, I love

amusement in her voice. THAT Is a
slight variation from the usual form.

"You would have TO try me TO find

piled Roscommon.

MOVING ON FRIDAY.

There Seems to Be Lot of Superstf-
tiOn About 1t.
Friday is a kind of holiday in our
business" said the professional mover.
There IS a big lot of superstition in
this matter. and, except in cases Of
actual necessity, it is hard to get any
body to move on Friday If few
families that intend to change quar-
tiers soon could only be induced to put
aside their foolish prejudice against
the sixth day of the week they could
be set up in their new home with half
the trouble and Inconvenience they will
experience on any other day l have
explained that to many prospective
customers, but the chances are that
most of them will vote to join the rush
rather than tempt bad luck by moving
on Friday.
Most of our movers dislike Friday
as much as the customers. Whatever
jobs are assigned to them they attend
to, of course but every last man in
our employ will be glad if not a sin
gle order was booked for Friday. They
claim that every smashup they figure
in, every accident to the furniture
through loss or breakage, occurs on a
Friday, so for their own sake they up
hold the customers in their fight

A Discreet servant.

A certain duke was dining in full kilt
dress at a highland anniversary din
ner, his piper standing behind his
chair. At dessert very handsome and
valuable snuffbox belonging to one of
the guests was handed round When
the time came to return it to its owner
the snuffbox could not be discovered
anywhere. A search was made, but
with no result, the duke being especial
ly anxious about it.
On the next anniversary he again
donned the kilt-which he had not
worn in the interval-for the annual
dinner. As he was dressing he hap.
pened to put his hand in his sporran
and there, to his establishment, found
the box which had been lost at the
last years dinner. He turned to his
piper and said:
''Why, this is the snuffbox we were
all looking for! Did you not see me

The Earthauake Belt.

Earthquakes are more frequent in
volcanic areas, but are not confined to
them. A great zone which is particu-
larly subject to earthquakes encircles
the earth. This belt includes the Med
iterranean lands, the Azores, the West
Indies, Central America, the Hawaiian
Islands, Japan, China, India, Persia
and Asia Minor. 1t is believed that
the larger number of earthquakes orig
lnate beneath the ocean. In places
where the bottom Of the sea shows
great variation in depth earthquakes
are numerous. They have, in fact,
been found to be so destructive to tele-
graph cables in these localities that
the cable authorities have named them
danger zones"

The Rat.

No place Is sacred to the rat From
sleeping man to an elephant there is
nothing which he will not eat. Rats
have eaten their way through a i've
pig and bitten off the legs of living
birds Some years ago the keepers of
the London geological gardens could
not understand what made the ele-
plants so restless, so uneasy on their
feet. Investigation showed that at
night the rats came out and gnawed
off the thick skin growing about the
nails on the monsters feet. Apparent
ly they must have fancied the horn of
the rhinoceros, too, for regularly the
keepers used to find fiattened rats
where the rhinoceros had been lying.

GOOD WORD FOR SNAKES.
Original Observations. OF Boston
Taxdermist Concerning
Reptiles.

It is q great mistake to say the
snake is of no benefit to mankind, !"
said ]. p. Siebert, q Boston taxidermist,
recently, reports the New York Globe.
Snakes are necessary evil. We once
went to great pains to kill of all the
alligators and muskrats. When the al
ligators were killed the muskrats null
tiplied tremendously, and being con-
cientiousy opposed to river embank-
ments, they undermined the walls, SO
that the river is frequently breaking
through and flooding the country. Ma
ture knew that alligators were needed
to keep down the muskrats, but man
thought he knew better. Now he sees
his mistake.
1T is said that St Patrick cleared
all the snakes out Of Ireland. II that
is SO Ireland has certainly not been
benefited. Even Irishmen themselves
admit that their country is to-day the
most miserable on earth Ireland is
now full OF pigs and there isn'a q single
snake. Now. claim that no country
ever fourishes where snakes do no.
bear normal proportion to the other
inhabitants There are no snakes in
Iceland, and look at the miserable
state of the island. America is full Of
snakes and see the prosperity we are
enjoying.
7 do not say that the snake brings
prosperity wherever it goes. but do
say that when the original balance be-
tween snakes and the rest of the pop
ulation Is disturbed In any given coun-
try, that country is bound tp be poor
and miserable. 2 sSas
