A Lesson In Physiology,

cital of lessons from the pupils. One
day her active mind hit upon physiol.

1t happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study of the hu-
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars as she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
first question was put so bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were no more
questions of Il similar nature asked.

Tho SmithY Settled II.

One Of the candidates at an English
election was announced to address a
meeting in Yorkshire village well
known to horse dealers and breeders
as the center of a district noted for its
hackneys and roadsters. The candi-
date was an eloquent speaker. but for
some reason or other he failed to
make ary great impression on the
horse loving farmers. However. the
local blacksmith came to the rescue by
summing up the respective merits of
the rival candidates in the following
laconic little speech:

Poison In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages 80 little was
known of toxicology that all sudden
and mysterious deaths were attribut-
ed to poison. but in the light of mod
ern knowledge many of these. says the
British Medical Journal. are now cas-
lily explained 10y such diseases as ap-
pendicitis and gastric ulcer. Even the
Borgias can be absolved from many
of the poiSOnings laid to their charge
Nevertheless from early times in Italy
poison was favorite means of ''re-
moving" an enemy. In England,
France and Germany cruder methods
of vengeance prevailed. and II was not
until the sixteenth century that the
Medici introduced poisoning into
France. The fashion spread with ter
ribIe rapidity and poison was employ
ed in every rank Cf society TO get rid
of incOnvenient persons. The art in
troduced into France by Catherine de-
Medici and her followers took root so
deeply rs to blossom later into the
black magic of Louis XIv's reign.
