STEDMAN'S LOST COOK.
How the Poet Banker Paid For an
Outburst of Temper.

Edmund Clarence Stedman. the poet

ceedingly sensitive. One day, cxas-
perated by the Grass stupidity of a
servant. he threw a book at his head
The boy ducked and the book sailed
out of the window. After it hurried
the mental. but he was too late; a
paSserby had picked it UP and walked
off with ii. Stedman began to wonder
what book he had thrown away and
to his horror discovered that 1t was a
quaint and rare little vOiumc for which
he had paid $50. His chagrin was in
tense, as the work was almost unique
and the prospects of replacing it We're
remote.
Some time aftcrWard when browsing
in a second hand bookshop our sple-
nctic poct-banker perceived to his great
delight a copy of the very book he had
lost. He asked the price. It's very
rare replied the dealer but as you
are an old customer I'll let YOU have it
for $40 Nobody else could have it
for less than SEQ" Stedman gladly
paid the $40, got homo with his treas
ure as soon as possible and sat down
to Gloat over it. A card dropped out
of the leaves. 1t was his own. Fur

Grain and Vine.

Grain and a Vine.
What is the most terrible form in
which death comes? Here are three.
but which one of them is the worst it
is hard to say:
In Peru and parts of South Australia
there is found a small spider about
half as big as Il pea When this insect
digs its fanss into its victim it inserts
a poison which begins at once to act.
1t scOrches up the blood vessels and
spreads through the tissue, causing
most dreadful agony The worst part
of it is that the victim usually suffers
for two days, but death in the end is
inevitable.
Another fearful death results. from
eating "bhat" vegetable which
grows in the east, Of which a few
grains cause violent mania. endlng'iu
death, "Bhat' occasionally grows in
among the rice crop. from which It is
hard to distinguish until dry, when the
poisonous grain is of a brick red color.
There is IA South American vine call
ed the "knoIter." which grips any liv-
ing thing coming in contact with il.
Its teutuclcs tWine round the object
seized. soaring and burning the flesh
like re>lhot wires. Then the prey is
drawn into the heart Of the foliage
and there crushed to death. The meth
