There is a curious book in the Bibliotheque Na- tionale entitled “Liber Sacerdotum” . (“The Book of the Priests”). It is sup- ‘, posed to have been written by the J ew- ish priests, but probably dates from' the eighteenth century. Here is one of ‘ book: Mix a quantity of iron filings with a quarter 0 orpimeut. Press the mixture in a linen cloth, inclose in a smelting pot and leave it for a whole night in a heated furnace. Next add some oil and naâ€" tron and just as much cepper filings as there is iron.

A gardener discovered the fact that trees are often sent to an untimely death by poison, usually arsenic. The reason for this does not appear until one hears the man‘s explanation. Sup- pose a man has rented a house which has too much shade. the law will not allow him to have one or more of the trees cut down Without the consent of the owner. As it often happens that tenants and landlords hold different views on the subject of shade, the trees remain as a bone of contention. It is then that the gardener is called to administer a dose of poison, for when a tree is dead the tenant may have it removed. Five cents’ worth of arsenic is sufficient to kill a large tree. A hole is made in the trunk, arsenic dropped in, and nature does the rest. It never fails. There is no virtue in a dawdling saunter. The slow and languid drag- ging one foot after the other, which some people call walking, would tire an athlete; it utterly exhausts a weak person, and that is the reason why many delicate persons think they can- not walk. To derive any benefit from the exercise it is necessary to walk with a light, elastic step, which swings the weight of the body so easily from mm 1m to the other that its weight is not felt and which pro duces a healthy glow, showing that the sluggish blood is stirred to action in the most remote veins.
