REEDS WITTY THRUST.
It SiIenced For the Time tho "Great
 Obiector," Holman.

It siIenced For the Time tho "oreat
 objsctor," Holman.
 There are many stories of the caustic wit of Thomas B. Reed, the famous speaker of the house of representatives One of his most amusing thrusts was delivered at William s. Holman. a member of congress from Indiana. It was perhaps the keenest witticism ever uttered in debate on the floor of the house.
 Holman was a constant objector to the expenditure of money by congress and had honestly earned the title of Watchdog of the Treasury" One day. when the committee was perfunctorily putting through number of bills for the erection of government buildings in various cities, Holman was constantly on his feet, objecting to their consider ation. But when Indiana was reached and the committee began to propose ap- propriations for buildings in the towns of that state Holman's objections came with much less spirit and finally ceased altogether. When at length a bill was offered that carried generous appropriation for building in Hol- mans own town. he rose and expressed hearty approval. Hardly had he taken his seat when Mir. Reed was on his feet. ''Mr. Speaker!' he shouted; and then, in gently sentimental tones. he re- cited Byron's familiar lines:
 Iris sweet to hear the watchdog's honest
 bark
 Bay deep mouthed welcome as we draw
 near home!
 And the great objector" forgot to object any more that day!-Youth's s Companion.

The strangest way of taking his salt was probably Dr. I'arr's. Telfonrd records that he used to till his pipe half with the finest tobacco and half with salt. After that it is not very surprising to learn that he smoked with a philosophical calmness." On one occasion when the two met Charles Lambs furious smoking of the strong est tobacco filled Dr. Parr with as- tonishment Gently laying down his pipe. he inquired how Lamb had ar rived at his power of smoking at such a rate.

Strychnjno,

Strychnine is one of the most power ful vegetable poisons known. but 1t has very odd effects. Up to about one thirty.second of grain it is often used in medicine as stimulant. Very little more is required to bring on that pc culiar state known as "tetanus." in which the muscles lock themselves up into such hard masses that they are as rigid as bone.
