The poisonous properties of coal gas are generally attributed to Its con tent of carbonic oxide; especially as no other substance of known poison ous properties has been found In it, and patients suffering from coal gas poisoning show the symptoms asso ciated with the inhalation of carbonic oxide. Including the peculiar bright red color of the blood. From experiments made by Dr. von Vahlen. at Kal'e. It seema probable that we must revise this view, for on making experiments with frogs, anl- reals particularly resistant to car bonic oxide, It waa found that they were poisoned far more rapidly by coal gas than by the corresponding amount of the oxide. Other expert menu with dogs showed that the pois onous effect of coal gas was twice or three times as great as that of the carbonic oxide It contained. Evident ly there Is some other constituent of coal gas which 1 poisonous, tnougn what It la cannot yet be stated. Mere ly removing the carbonic oxide from coal gas will not. suffice to render it non-poisonous. Ironmonger. Cnseplng Mountain.

In a certain town In Bouth Carolina, before th civil war, was an old Scotch Covenanter church, the pulpit of which bore a strong resemblance to a flour barrel, aayj th Youth's Com panion. It waa fastened to the wall, and reached by a narrow winding BiU of stUrs. Among th preachers who occupied th pulpit at different times waa on - who was noted for the vigor and en thusiasm of bis delivery and the ex tram energy of bis gesticulations. . Th congregation bad often trem bled for his safety, as he stamped and pounded In the old pulpit, but no catastrophe occurred until one day whan he bent forward over th edge, and shaking th unstable structure, ahouted: "Th righteous shall stand, but the wicked shall fall!' Befor th word were fairly utter ed there was a crash, and the old pulpit and Its occupant cam to th floor, together with much dust. Th minister picked .himself up, and waving off the members of the congregation, said, dryly: "Brethren, I am not Injured, and I don't mind th fall much, but I do hat th connao tlon."

An extraordinary will has been left by an elderly unmarried Hdy who re cently died In V ienna. Her property, amounting to about $250,000, is to be divided between her three nephews, now aged twenty-four, twenty-seven and twenty-nine, and her three nieces, aged nineteen, twenty one and twenty two, In equal parts on the following conditions: The six nephews and nieces must all live In the house formerly inhabit ed by their aunt, with the executor, a lawyer. None of the nephews Is to marry before reaching his fortieth year, nor the nieces before their thir tieth; the share of the one so marry ing will be divided. Further, the six legatees are admonished never to quarrel. If one should do so persistent ly the executor Is empowered to turn him or ber out of the house and di vide the share. The executor Is him self forbidden to marry or to reside elsewhere than In the house with th legatees. The old maid Is said to have made thla peculiar will because her nephews and nieces continually worried her by asking ber to give them money to en able them to marry requests she al ways refused.

During the course of diseases caus ed by bacterial Infection, certain poisona (toxins) are developed In the blood by the bacteria, or exist In the bodies of the bacteria. Nature, In com. ba.lng the disease, produces certain principles In the serum of the blood of the patient, called antitoxins, which antagonise the action of the toxins. These principles have not been Isolat ed, but they are used to combat dls, ease artificially by Injecting blood se rum which contains them Into the tissues of a person suffering with the bacterial disease to aid hira In neu tralizing the toxins resulting dtir'ns that disease. Antitoxins combating the poisons of snakebite, pneu monia, tuberculous, yellow fever, bubonic plague, cholera and oth er ailments hare been prepared and used. The one most often employed Is the diphtheria antitoxin, which Is called simply antitoxin." Human Antiquity.

Madge, aa the oldest of a family of girls, has evidently beard and tak en to heart the disappointment of her parents over the excessive femininity allotted by th fates of the family quiver. When recently the fifth little daugh ter waa born, Madge waa playing in the garden with one of her sisters, and as a neighbor considered was de cidedly rough with the child.

When first crowing from the seed the ginseng plan's hsve two forks or j stalks and one leaf on each stalk. The second year It adds another leaf on each part ar. 1 the third year the plant grows In three parts with Ihrue leaves on each part and this year a seed ball forms. This grows direct from the main stalk of the plant, and from four to five Inches above the foliage. The average plant, sfivs a writer In Outing. produces from fifty to sixty seeds and j sometimes goes as hlxh as 100 seeds. Wtld plants yield better than cnlu voted. The fourth and fifth years one leaf Is added to each stalk. The fifth year the plant Is full grown, having thro forks and five leaves on each stalk. It grows from one to two feet in height; soine times as high as twenty-seven inches. The le-ivpa are broad nnd flat, about four Inches long and two in lies wide when full grown with e calloped edsres. It takes five years to grow the root from seed fo' market and eigh teen months to gtrrulnate the seed for growth. There is more cultivated root new on the market than wild.

On the authority of Seneca, a curl' ous account Is given of a period when leather, appropriately stamped to give It a certain legal character, was th only current money. At a coaipara- tlvely recent date in the annuls of Ku- rope, Frederick the fie ond, who died In 1250 at the siege of Milan, paid hit troops with leather money. Near'y the same circumstance occurred in England during the great wars of the barons. In the course of J350 King John, for the ransom of his royal per on. promleed to pay to Edward the Third of England three millions of gold crowns. In order to fill this obligation, John v.' as reduced to the mortifying necessity of raying the penses of the palace In leather money In the centre of each piece there be ing a little bright point of silver. In that reign Is found the origin of the burlesque honor of conferring "a used them when h wished to conlu honor upon son:e noblemen.

It happens that the Danish word for "children Is almost Identical In sound with the Icelandic word for "sheep," and the worthy bishop promptly answered. "Two hundred." "Two hundred children It-erled th queen. "How can you possibly main tain such a number?" "Kaslly enough, pieaEe your ma Jesty." replied the prelate with cheerful smile.

Bishop Olmstesd. of Denver, telis a Thanksgiving story Illustrative ot the fact that clergymen must keep very much farther away from evil than the ordinary man. The bishop was once talking In Olm- Btedville with an old fisherman about a neighboring divine. "A very good man, the bishop said. "A good man, yes," assented the old fisherman. "He swears a good bit for a preacher, though." "Swears!" exclaimed Bishop Olm sted. "I can't believe that. "Put 1 heard him," said the old Dr.hcr.nan. obstinately.

""Now If that ain't swearing, ' con cluded the old fisherman, "what la It?" Yes, But What waa the Lady's Age?, Toward the close of a recent law suit In Massachusetts, the wife of an eminent Harvard professor arose and with a flaming face timidly addressed the court.
