Use is made by chemical manufac-
turers of various animals, such as
chickens, dogs, cats and frogs. to test
the efficacy Oh drugs.
Ergotine. for instance, Is tested on
chickens in an extremely simple way.
Should it fail to turn a chickens
comb black. it is at once known by
the experfmenter that the drug is
worthless.
Dogs are used to test hashish. This
is manufactured from female buds of
hemp, the male buds having no par
ticular medicinal value. Hashish adj
ministered to dogs induces a peculiar
pathological condition If the drug is
correctly prepared. which is seen in no
other animal save man himself.
Digitalis. the heart stimulant, is best
tested on frogs. Injecting a drop of
the drug into the stomach of the frog.

RuffeJ Grouse.

Civilization is abhorrent to the ruffed
grouse, king of American game birds.
1t seeks the depths of the forests
where the wild grapes and winter
green berries grow thickest; where
clumps of laurel offer security from
prowling wildcats or foxes; where
mighty trees supply roosting places.
There is 40 prouder bird in appear
ance than the ruffed grouse, none so
majestic in fight. The hunter who can
find him and after finding can make 80
per cent Of hits may be classed as an
expert. When flushed this grouse
springs into the air with a roaring
noise; there is a flash of brown hurting
itself through the forest, and in an In
slant the bird is lost sight of.-Boston

Names Gum Industry.

Gathering spruce gum has long since
become one of the steady minor indus
tries of Maine, where every year about
$4,000 tons OF crude gum. valued at a
third of a million dollars, are harvested.
The crude article is formed as the re-
suit of injury to red and black spruce
trees. Hedgehogs feed upon the inner
bark of trees, and the injuries they
cause, known as hog cuts" are fruit
full sources of gum. Lightning scars.
frost cracks, old blazes and the abra-
sions caused by falling trees and even
sap sucker drills are other occasions
for gum formation. Around the edges
of such wounds little nodules appear
and gradually develop into Jumps or
teats. A wide scar heals slowly and
may produce gum around the entire
wounded area, while a narrow seam
closes so quickly that only a single row
of these nuggets Is possible.-Argo-
naut.

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC

Her method of many years. study
and practical experience in all phases
of vocal and instrumental music, has
proved to be the true, thorough and
comprehensive system (where there
is talent) in both branches of music.
The brain must comprehend, the fin
gers demonstrate, and memory be ex-
ercised. 1t is a great, natural gift to
possess a fine quality of voice, but care
and judgment must always be exercis-
ed from the out-start. A fine, natu-
raj, resonant voice may become
(mampy and woody, with a forced,
yelping pitch. Should the vocal chords
become strained, they cannot be re-
stored, it becomes a divided voice.
There lies a future fortune for the
possessor of a fine voice
when properly cultivated and exercis-
ed. Well may it bear the name Of
Musical Elocution." Special train

gradients of which are cabbage, pota-
toes, oatmeal and fat meat. preferably
pork. These are boiled together, with
salt and other seasoning, the result be-
ing a thick, nourishing and by no
ean unpalatable dish.
The Italian soldiers, who are splen-
did marchers. live largely on a farina-
ceous diet-macaroni, spaghetti and so
on. They are also very partial to fruit,
which is issued, together with wine
and cigars, as part of their rations
whenever possible.
No German soldier considers his dali
~ menu complete without a sausage of
some kind or other, and the stronger
its flavor the better. A nutritious pea
soup is also a staple of the army ration.

consists of his beloved soup" as he
calls it. 1t is really a thick, nourish-
ing stew, made of meat, potatoes and
various other vegetables.

field, in the Thuringian forest, which
in the time of Luther was worked for
silver, copper, alum and vitriol, has
been discovered by a Berlin geologist
to have developed into mi of the most
beautiful cayerns. In the course of
centuries the water percolating through
the minerals has built up throughout
the mine a wonderful labyrinth of stall
actites and stalagmites, thrown to-
gether with a profusion and brilliance
of color which is said to be without
parallel. Deep green's, vivid blues, the

duced over and over again, and yet
the colors melt into each other so
gently that nowhere is the impression

When Thermometers Differ.

Why does a weather bureau Their
mometer show lower temperature in
hot weather than the thermometer at
the corner drug store? asks the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. When d%iscrepan-
cies exist they are due chiefly TO the
fact that the official thermometer is
installed in a wooden cage, where it is
open to the air, but screened from both
direct sunshine and the heat reflected
from surrounding buildings, etc. Only
under such conditions does a thermom-
eter measure accurately the tempera-
ture of the air. A thermometer In the
sunshine becomes much hotter than
the air around it, aid its reading sim
ply tells Us how hot the instrument is.
not how hot the air is. In large cities
the weather bureau thermometer Is of
ten installed on the roof Of a high
building, where the temperatures differ
somewhat from those prevailing at the
street level. The object sought in this
arrangement is to obtain a record of
the natural temperature of the locality
in general rather than the artificial
temperatures of the city.

they open the right hand one?
Why is it that GO per cent of the peo-

they walk on the right side?
Why is it that 80 per cent of the peo-
pie don't now how to turn a corner or
enter a store? Why is it that they
keep close to the building when they
ought to be on the outside edge of the

Very Free Verse.

Fers libre is certainly taking hold.
Much might be said in this connection
of its form, its content and whether
proficiency in it is innate or acquired.
Let it suffice for the moment to record
what happened when a music teacher
asked her pupils to make up little
verses and then make melodies to ac-
company them. One little boy said ]
never had made up verses.

RIGHT For the First Time,

One winter a masquerade party was
given at New York, at which practi-
cally all the great musical lights in
the country were present. Very few
knew who any of the others were, but
in some way Josef Holman, the ia
pianist, knew one of the dis
guised men to be a leading musical
critic in the city. During the evening
the latter, grasping the hand Of the
pianist, said:
II don't know who you are, but this
hand strikes me very much as the
hand of a pianist"
Quite right" answered Hofmann,
land 1t is the first time l have ever
know you to be right in a musical
criticism"
And as no one unmasked during the
evening the critic is still wondering
who said it.
