Eek Killed by a Rooster.

When once an animals temper
has become thoroughly aroused il
IS strange how utterly regardless il
becomes of the strength and ability
Of the object of its anger.
At Compton ~Pauncefote, in Som
ersetshire, a fox was killed in g
poultry yard by an Infatuated cock.
1t appears that the fox made a raid
on the young chicks and after kill
ing several belonging to certain
hens turned its attention to the
brood Of another. This conduct.
however, the plqeky cock would not
permit without "a struggle, and,
rushing at the fox, it was fortunat,
enough to pierce It in the eye with
its spur with such force that the
spur penetrated right into the fox's
brain, becoming so securely fixed
that the victor could not remove ii
without the assistance of a farm la
borer, who had been an interested
spectator of the contest between the
Ill assorted pair.-London Answers.

these connections have brought him
into intercourse with those who have
learned to esteem him as a man of
candor, and good judgment; never
dictatorial but willing to give his con-
temporaries a candid hearing and
frame his opinions accordingly.
All of his kindred had a large place
in his affections, the best eleme nts of
his character were conspicuous in the

The Ducking Stool In England.

The fastest recorded use Of the duck
ing stool in England (the designations
cucking and ducking were, of course,
synonymous in the days of Queen Eliza
BETH was in 1909. 1t was at Leomin-
ster, when a woman named Jenny
Pipes, alias Jane Corran, vas paraded
through the town on the ducking stool
and ducked in the water near Kenwa-
ter bridge by order of the magistrates.
In 1917 another woman, called Sarah
Leake, was wheeled round the place in
the same chair, but not ducked, as,
fortunately for her, the water was too
low. The instrument of punishment in
q~uestion'has not been used since then

India Rubber Tree Fruit.

The fruit of the india rubber tree is
somewhat similar to that of the Rici-
nus communis, the castor oil plant
though somewhat larger. The seeds
have a not disagreeable taste and WELD
a purplish oil. 1t is a fairly good sub.
stitute for linseed oil, though it dries
less rapidly. Mixed with copal blue
and t~urpentine, it makes a good var
nish. The oil may be also used in the
manufacture of soaps and photographic
inks. The seeds are somewhat like
tiny chestnuts, although darker in col
or. The Indian girls are fond of wear
ing bracelets and necklets made of
them.

A Sermon on Kissino.

1t must require no small amount
of courage ON the part of a Church
of England clergyman to preach a
sermon on kissing" The deed was
recently done in an Anglican
church in the most fashionable
suburb of Melbourne. Naturally a
good many giggling girls were in
evidence among the congregation.
They doubtless yielded their assent
to the preachers preliminary propo-
sition that "a kiss is one of the most
pleasant of earthly things" and that
"a kiss is not perfect unless it is e1-
pected and reciprocated." The bulk
of the sermon was devoted to Scrip
tural forms of the practicable
kiss of peace, the kiss of reconciia-
ton, the kiss of conservation, etc.
