CurIosities Of Antltoxins,

One of the latest discoveries in the
field Of antitoxins has been given the
name Of anaphylaxis; it was made dur
ing experiments in injecting into dog
minute doses of poison secretsd by
sea anemones. The first dose produced
very little effect on the dog; 1t was fol.
lowed three weeks later by similar
dose. The experimenter found to his
surprise that the second dose was
fatal; the first dose had rendered the
animal much more, instead Of less.
sensitive to the poison. It was found
later that If an injection into an AMI
NAL of even SO harmless substance
as white of egg Is followed after three
weeks by a second injection, the re-
suit Is fatal; but If the first injection
Is followed by further doses at inter.
walls of week there Is no bad result.
The cause of this curious fact is not
known; but since 1t was discovered
medical men have been very careful
not to allow too lorg an interval to
elapse between two doses of any al.
luminous compound.-Sir William
Ramsay, in Youths Companion.

Keeping 1t From tho Public,

One night during the run of Under
Cover at the Cort theater In New
York, William Courtenay. who Is sup
posed to toss string of pearls to his
pal waiting beneath the window, made
a wild pitch, and the heavy jewels
vent into the audience and hit a man,
seated near the front, In the forehead,
cutting his skin deeply. and causing
him to bleed profusely. The man was
taken to retiring room, and his
wound dressed, and the press repre-
sentative bent every effort, and sue
cessfully, to keep the story from the
papers. Its publication would not have
encouraged timid persons to occupy
front row seats and expose themselves
to the chance of being struck in the
eye with smuggled pearls.

1t was Charles-her lover-whom she
loved better than all the world. A
surge of anger swept over her.
But the fathers words had sunk in
deep. She had indeed often thought
of what the future might bring to
them. She had begun to realize that
love may not be captured, that he is
elusive to those who seek him and
only comes to those whose lives are
set in other molds than hers.
A few years with Charles, and, as
the father had said, the end would

And the spell Of the past was on
her, and she knew that she, who had
loved in vain, could never hope to
make this new love hers.
She heard the footstep stop at the
door, which was imperceptibly open.
Charles had seen his father, or heard
his voice, and hesitated, not knowing
what course to take.

BRIEF FOR OSAGE ORANGE
Many Uses That Are Made Of Com.
mon and DeservedIy Popular
American Plant.

A Missouri correspondent Of the
Youths Companion comes Loyalty to
the defense of the Usage orange,
which we permitted ourselves to
speak of as a wood that has no par
ticular value beyond its use as a dye
stuff.
The Usage orange, he says, is q
favorite hedge plant in the middle
West, because it grows very quickly,
endures close trimming, and forms a
tough efficient barrier, when used for
fencing. In or out of the ground
1t is remarkably durable, and Usage
fence posts sell at high prices. Earth.
er south than Missouri 1t grows tall
enough to be used for telegraph and
telephone poles.
In the extreme south where In the
vernacular it is known as bow dock"
apparently contraction of bois
d'arc) 1t Is much used in the manufac.
ture of cart and wagon wheels. The
wood Is tough and hard, and 1t con.
tracts and expands very little when
exposed to the extremes of food or
drought.
AS a fuel Usage wood has few
equals, and live stock often eat its
fruit, the hedge orange or hedge
apple.
Planted in groves, the tree grows
rapidly and appears to be absolutely
free from disease The heart wood,
a brilliant yellow color, is beautiful
both in color and grain; used for in
terror finish, it will take high polish.
The characteristics that make its
enemies abuse the Usage are the very
qualities that recommend 1t to its
friends. The seasoned wood is SO
hard that you can hardly drive a nail
or fence staple into 1t. The dense
mass of tough branches and needle
pointed thorns make fine fence, but
they irritate the men who must attack
a neglected, overgrown hedge. The
very sturdiness and hardness that
enable the Usage orange hedge to en-
dure rough treatment and to hold it's
own against the assaults Of live stock
are likely to annoy the man who
wishes to change his fence lines and
must subdue q string Of hedge to do

PUT INTEREST IN THE WORK
outsrow SeIf.consciousness
In Public.

II you are self-conscious do not al
low yourself to get the idea that you
are different from other people. Prac-
tically every one who appears in pub
lie work has the same experience of
being self-conscious at some time in
his career, William e. Towne writes
in the Nautilus.
You will find the most direct cure Is
to get so interested in your work, in
your speaking, singing or acting, that
you forget the audience. Whenever
you feel nervous just before a public
appearance, turn your thought to your
work. Displace the fear and worry
thought with thought of interest in
your work. Learn to abandon your.
self to the part you are to play until
you have crowded out the fear
thoughts and driven them entirely
from your mind.
Slow rhythmic breathing will in.
variably help you Hold the breath just
an instant before you expel It, A.
firmation and prayer will help, in pro.
portion as you have faith in them and
apply them with feeling. Physical re-
laxing exercises Just before a public
appearance will also help Mrs Annie
Payson Call has written some very
practical books on relaxation and poise
that would help in this matter.
Do everything deliberately and slow
ly just previous to the time you appear
before your audience. Worry is close
ly allied to the feeling of hurry. Keep
your mind occupied so that you will
not get to feeling hurried and panicky
Make all your physical movements
and your breathing deliberate. This
will help you to control your mind
II your thought is distracted by ap
plause during the delivery of your lines
bring your thought right back to your
work and abandon yourself to your
part as II the audience did not exist.
Remember, the one thing to aim at
Is to displace the worry thoughts
crowd them out. by keeping the mind
occupied with your work. The psy
biologists say that the best way to
break up train of thought Is to dis
place 1t with another train. You will
have to put forth some effort of will
at first but If you wade in" each time
with the determination to go through
with it anyhow, doing the best you
can, you will soon find it is little
easier to let CO." and the worry and
tension will begin to relax.
These methods are equally good for
any kind of bashfulness or self,con'
sciOusness.

Chaplin Describes Sea. Sickness.

Editor Chaplin of the Laramie Republican is at this time So
journing on the Pacific coast. He has been writing very interesting
letters back from there to the Republican which we have greatly en-
joyed. In his letter last week to the Republican of May Oath he
tells of a trip made OF the ocean by boat, and in it he gives his read
err a graphic account of lea sickness, which we herewith reproduce:
From the deck of the Yale, the harbor, the war vessels at an.
Choir, the city, Point Iona and the Sc all form a panorama not soon
to be forgotten. AS soon a IS we got into the broad ocean the scene
changed from one of beauty to zone of misery and, in some cases, al
most despair. Long waves we're running rather high. The boat
heaved and rocked in a way that made it difficult to walk without
getting hold of things. People on board soon began to take IN a
pale, woe-begone, hunted look and then made a rush for the lower
deck. Were you ever sessick? Did you ever have that feeling that
your stomach and all other eternal arrangements we're in a mad race
to see which could break from their mornings first and get into the
outer arr Did you ever ride a boat up to the top of a big wave and
then go down the other side with that deathly feeling that only a
part of you ws coming long2 A great many we're sick and some
did not take the precaution to get to the lower deck IT side of the
vessel soon enough and messed up things considerably, including
some of their travelling companions.
"One young fellow WAS terribly sick all the way up, but did not
take a stateroom. His hair was disheveled, his face a pale green and
his expression that of misery. He sat close to a passageway to the
rail- and seemed to think it proper to give something to the fish at
frequent intervals. mo wonder the fish here r. fat" said he. He
was happy when the vessel arrived at San Pedro harbor. None in
our party thought 1t necessary to give up breakfast-but there were
times when we wanted to be alone and did not care t, laugh and Joke
