REASONABLE EXPLANATION.

j. W. writes to know why all
Young physicians white their whis-
kers TO a pencil point. This habit
was started by European medical
men, who found by careful expert
ment that by using Whitfield whis-
kers the germs crawlcd out on the
point and dropped off, the pointed
whisker acting like the automatic
device in the patent fly trap All
flies can go one way, but are unable
TO 90 the other. In the same way
the germs, trying to crawl back,
found the whiskers all against them
and were crowded off. A careful
microscopical analysis of the III
end OF the medical whisker showed
Il thin stream of germs continually
falling from it. This is where the
woman medical practitioner is at a
great disadvantage in her practice.

Call wanted some palms and he
cast about for a way to get on the
right side of Smith. Somebody told
him Smith was a great admirer Of
Burns and had a fine collection of
Burns manuscripts and editions.
That was Calls cue. He walked
over to the garden, found Smith and

a SERMON ON SECOND WIVES.

You cannot be too careful in
your choice Of a second wife. If
you make a mistake in choosing
your second wife it is Obvious that
you did not deserve to lose your
first. Marriage is a habit that
grows on one.
The reason that so many mar
riage8 turn out unhappy for the
parties concerned lies in the unfor-
tunate but by no means unnatural
desire that men have for marrying
their second wives in the first in
stance.
If a man could marry his second
wife first there would be fewer
bachelors, concludes Frank Rich
ardson, in his Pail Mall sermon

Misunderstood.

misunderstanding is often ridic-

promised to contribute two dollars
to a fund to buy music books for
the church, as soon as he had dis
posed Of a calf, but failed to do so.
He went to choir practice one even

Was Never Sod" and it required
a long explanation before he could
be restrained from thrashing all

Do Animals Murder?

A short time ago an article un-
der the above title appeared in an
exchange. It mentioned the kill
ing of other animals for food by
carnivorous animals and called it
justifabIe homicide. Weasels and
the like that kill more of their VIC
tins than they can eat, apparently
for the mere lust of killing, are
designated as murderers pure and
simple. The rest of the article
was devoted to larceny among
animals.
While reading this the question
occurred to me: What is animal
homicide? Men kill animals for
food and are not called murderers.
They kill animals for fun and call
it sport. Then the animals refer
red to in the article mentioned are
Just sportsanimals, if [ may coin
the word. In the writer's opinion
no animal is guilty of murder un-
less it kills one of its own kind,
and justi6able homicide would be
to kill in self defense or in defense
of it's family.
A great many animals, not only
do not protect their young, but
will kill aud eat them; several
species of fish and reptiles belong
to this class of murderers. Then
there is another class in which the
males will destroy its own young,
but seldom eat them. Black bears
probably other species, too
minks, weasels, some species Of
