much that pleases the eye, and
comforts the heart as beautiful
trees and fine hrnobery.
Nothing else will so relieve the
naked prairies Of the withering
drought Of midsummer and the
raging winds Of midwinter.

our public schools on this day

Why Elephants Fear Mice.

1t seems incredible that so small and
harmless an animal as IL mouse is able
to frighten an elephant almost out OF
his senses. One little mouse in the
hay on which they are feeding will
stampede an entire herd. In their ma.
tive land there are little animals,
known as chacanas, which feed on Il
small, sour berry of which elephants
are very fond. They live in settle
ments, something after the manner OF
prairie dogs, under the berry bushes
When feeding. the elephants trample
the little towns, and the chacanas, in
their fright, run up the tubes of the
elephants trunks. Their long. sharp
claws catch in the flesh, and they can
not be elected. The more violently the
monster blows through it's coiled trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws of
the little animal become imbedded in
the flesh. Inflammation and death are
the result. In captivity the elephants
think they are In danger of the deadly
chacanas when they see mouse.

Early Baseball Teams.

Baseball teams existed as early as
1S45, but the first league was formed
In 1857, when the National Association
Of Baseball Players was organized.
This, as the title implies, was an or
ganization of players-in fact, of anna
teur players. They did not remain true
amateurs for long, however, and in
1871 baseball was placed squarely on
a professional basis, when there came
into existence the National Association
of Professional Baseball Players. 1t
will be noted that the players still
governed the sport, and they continued
to do so until 1876 1t was in this
period that there grew up the great
abuses which menaced the very life of
Overwhelmingly, gambling and the
buying and selling of games. In 1876
the players were deposed from the
government of professional baseball,
and they have never since controlled
the game.-Henry Beach Needham in
Success Magazine.

Dangerous Odors.

Some smells are dangerous A sin.
gle sniff of highly concentrated prus.
sic acid will kill a man as quickly as
a shot through the heart The odor
OF bad egg Is due to the presence of
sulphureted hydrogen, and the OBJ
jectionable perfumes of sewers and
bone factories are attributable chiefly
to the same gas. Chemical laborato
ries are famous for bad smells. Ber.
zelius, who discovered the element
called "selenium," once tried the ex.
pertinent of permitting n bubble of
pure hydrogen selenide gas to enter
bis nostril. For days afterward he
was not able to smell strong ammonia,
the olfactory nerves being temporarily
paralyzed. Selenium gas has the odor
of putrid horseradish. Telurium is
even worse. There is a story of ply
sician whose patient, a lady, refused
to take an absolutely necessary rest
because she was so fond of being al.
ways in society He gave her pill
containing small quantity of tellu.
rum, and her breath was affected by
1t to such an extent that she was not
able to appear in public for month
She never guessed what the trouble
was. The volatilized essential oil o,
roses is supposed to cause rose
cold" This peculiar complaint is SC
far nervous in its character that pa
per roses sometimes excite it.
