A Man With an Appetite,

Nicholas Wood was Kentish gentle
man who Gormandized his way to
fame in the seventeenth century. This
worthy would eat a whole hog at a
sitting and follow it up next day
with thirty dozen pigeons" Woods
was an appetite not to be laughed at.
and so when some slight was put upon
it by Taylor, the water poet, Wood
challenged the poet to a bout at eat
Ing as much black pudding as would
reach across the Thames at any place

Hill of the Poison Plant.

Close to the frontier of Nepal is the
mountain OF Sandook-Phu. which
means in the Tibetan language the
hill of the poison plant" or aconite
This plant is so abundant and so dead
~ in its effects that all sheep and cat
tie passing over the mountain are mu2-
Fled by their drivers. An English trav-
eer saw at its foot great heaps of dis
carded bamboo muZZles. Curiously
enough, only those cattle that are new
~ imported from the plains are fatally
affected. The natives believe that the
sheep of the district learn TO shun the
youngest leaves. which are the most
virulent. A more likely explanation IS
that they grow habituated to the drug
by taking it in small quantities.
