Most People have read of the deadly Upas tree of the Indian Archipelago, .and the story that neither animal nor vegetable can live in its awful presence. But that is a false statement. The Upas tree is indigenous to the forests of the Phillipines, Java, and neighbor- ing islands, where it attains a height of from 70 to 110 feet. It is shaped some- what like a lanky umbrella—with tall, naked and: rather slender trun surmounted by a thick crown of ' hor zontally disposed branches, that a densely furnished with laurel -shape leaves, which, together with the you. shoots, are covered with rusty hair Birds and other animals_ get into i branches with apparent impunity, au its proximity to the dwellings of ma has no evil effect whatever. Neverth less the tree is virulently poisonou The tree when pierced exudes a milk ,juice, which, mixed with certain oth conference. go off into paroxysms of laughter. -" Can you -is it possible you can smile at such a revelation ?" said the dumfounded young minister, and as soon as the chairman had sufficient- ly mastered his emotion to .speak he - said, " My dear young brother, before Brother ' was converted and en- tered the ministry he kept that tavern;!" Thereafter that young minister was no less zealous and infinitely more dis- a Greet. k re ng s. is n e- s. 1 ingredients, is used by the Malays as -arrow-poison, and most fatal it, is to any .animal it strikes. The Upas tree belongs to the saris .group of plants as do the Bread Fruit which :are so highly prized for thei fruit and timber, and so extensively cultivated both in the East and West Ind"ies. The following fabulous story in con- nection with the Upas tree is told : Some 90 years ago, Dr. Foersch, a Dutch (Holland) surgeon, living in Java .described the tree as growing in a desert with no other plant near it for a dozen miles, because the exhalations it emit- ted so contaminated the atmosphere that neither plant nor animal could ap- proach nearer to the Upas without suf- fering the penalty of immediate death. He also speaks of criminals condemned to die, being given the alternative of being executed or of going to the Upas tree to collect some poison, when, if they returned alive, they were pardon- ed. Though furnished with every pre- caution, only an average of one in ten returned. On account of civil disse"n- tions some 1,600 people were compelled toreside within 14 miles of the Upas trees, and in less than two months only 2remained alive. " There are no fish in the waters, nor has any rat, mouse or other vermin been seen there ; and when any birds fly so near this tree that the effluvia reaches them, they fall a sacrifiGe to the effects of the poi- son." These and many other ridicul- ous stories, as false as they are novel, have been circulated at the expense of the Upas tree. In the face of all these absurd stories not only is the poison sought after and used, but even the fiber of the bark of the tree is made into cloth by the natives. - And it is assert- ed that the flesh of animals killed by Upas poison may be eaten with perfect safety. The foundation for many of these fables, however, consists in the exist- ence in Java of certain low valleys con- nected with the many volcanoes of the island, whose atmosphere is so charged with carbonic acid gas emitted from crevices in the ground, as to destroy animal and vegetable life. And the Upas tree can no more exist in such places than can other trees. When I was engaged in the Royal Botanic . Gardens at. Kew, one < 'of- the foremen was relating to us the ridicul- ous stories of the Upas. . Before that time, however, the Upas and I had been old acquaintances ; consequently, I told him that such stories were glaring false= hoods, and in proof of my assertion I bared my breast, plucked a leaf off the Upas tree beside us, and kept it for sev- eral minutes close to my skin, and I am living still ! Had I been sweating copiously at the - time I would not have done it, and I was careful not to let the milky- juice touch my breast ; but I took no precautions against my hands. , There is a Upas tree in most botanic gardens, and they are handled, cleaned, watered, moved. about and repotted with seeming indifference. How a Wager Was Won. A -man once offered to bet that 'he could prove that this "side of the river was the other side. His challenge was accepted, and pointing to the opposite shore of the river he asked : - " Is not that one side of the river ? Yes," was the, answer, of course. " Agreed," said the man ; and is not this the other side ?" " Certainly," said the other. " Then," said the man, " pay me the wager. for by your -own confession - I have proved that this side of the, river is the other side." e : The dumfounded antagonist, over- - s come by this profound logic, immediate - ✓ ly paid the Money. Morris. - - ConNcIL.- The Council met on the 27th of December, according to adjourn- ment. All the members present, the Reeve .in the chair.

Moved by Mr. Miller, seco4ded by Mr. Vanalstine, " that no action be taken on Said account at present—Carried. The Council then adjourned sine die. Almost a Scandal. The Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada once might have had a sort of Beecher scandal, but it didn't. A ven- erable clergyman was riding to the dis- triot conference in the eastern town- ships, somewhere near Stanstead, his companion in the buggy being a young, zealous and indiscreet minister, not long stationed in that part of the coun- try. As they jogged past a little cross- road tavern the old gentleman indicated it with his whip, and said, " Many and many a day I've been at that tavern years ago." " Yes," said his compan- ion, with indifference. " Yes ; and a mighty handsome wife the tavern - keeper had, too." " Ah !" said the young brother, with surprise. " Yes," continued the elder, she was one of the handsomest women I over saw, young, pretty, plump, fine color, and such arms. Many and many a kiss have I given her when we were sitting in a big haircloth chair in the little private sitting -room off the bar. Well, well, time flies "—and the good old man gazed -at his companion, whose eyes were as large as soup plates, then blushing of a deep beet -red, he said, - with some confusion : " Bless me, what - have I been saying ? , Of course, brother, you will not breathe a word of this. I cannot imagine how I came to say anything about it, but then the tongue is," etc. The young clergyman gave the required pledge, and repeated it when, at the end of their drive, the olci rnaii besought him earnestly to re- member and not breathe a word of the matter. 13ut daring the afternoon the young clergyman - rose and declaring that his conscieuce would not longer bear the burden he had imposed upon it, and that he must tell the truth, no matter how terriblethe consequences, inforruing the astonished brethren that Brother had that day admitted that he had been guilty of improper and unchristian conduct towards a married woman, nay, more, had recited his sin with an unction which showed that it had never been sincerely repented of. It is needless to say that everybody stared at the speaker and then at the accused minister, who for a hundred miles around had won an enviable repu- tation for uprightness and purity. The accused buried his face in his hands, and the chairman desired the young brother to repeat his startling accusa- tion with details. The young clergy- man did so, and when he announced that the other member of the " guilty pair " was a woman whose name he did' not know, but whose husband kept a tavern at, Corners, was elec- trified to hear the chairman bawl, " Ha! ha! .ha! " and every member of the Gaieties. Sprightly young lady : " I am afraid I'have a very large foot !" Polite shop man: " Large, Miss! Oh, dear, no Miss ! We have : lots of gent—that is customers with much larger, miss !" .—In the sweet, balmy, delicious hap- piness of love's young dream, a youth will not only insist on cracking wal- nuts for his girl; but on picking out the goodies as well. Two years after mar- riage he will not even let her have the nut -cracker until he is through. • —Archie :.t Auntie, what's " a torpe. do ?" Aun ie : " Something that blows something Auntie: my love." Archie : " Then are you a torpedo, auntie ?" Auntie: " No, my dear. Why ?" Archie : " Because I heard uncle tell- ing pa that you were always blowing him up." Highlandman entering a doctor's shop. Doctor: " Well,' Dugald, how are you to -night ?" Dugald : " She'll be worse than whit shewis before she'll took badly." 'Doctor : " Just so ; and how are you taking the medicine ?" Dugald : " She'll took a tablespoonful every morning, three times a day." —Said a very good old man, " Some folks are always complaining about the weather, but I am very thankful when I wake up in the morning and find any weather at all." We may smile at the simplicity of the old man, but still his language indicates a spirit that con- tributes much to a calm and peaceful life. It is wiser and better to cultivate thatthan to be continually complain- ing of things as they are. . -An Oakland man pleasantly sat down to breakfast, and his loving wife said : " Darling, does your head ache ?" He replied with sufficient dignity,- " No; why do you ask ?" And she said back : " Well, dear; you 'came in . at three o Block this morning,and as you couldn't hang your hat on the rack, you put the rack down on the floor and said you'd hang every hat in the house on it, and I thought your head might ache." —Glasgow A B C.—A was an ac- commodation bill, B bought it, C cashed it, D discounted it, E eyed it, F forged on it, G got it, H h'med. at it, I indorsed it, J junked to let the jaw gae by it, K kept it,• L laughed at it, M misappro- priated it, N negotiated it, 0 offered it, P presented it, Q queried it, R returned it, S sued on it, T took it, U utilised it, V vouched it, W warranted it, X 'xpa- tiated on - it,'Y Z, wisehead fashion, pocketed the profits and left the Bank to settle it. —A blacksmithhaving occasion to visit a neighbouring town, was commis- sioned by a neighbour to bring back a certain medicine with him, which he undertook to do. In the throng of the town, however, Vulcan forgot the name of the article, and in vain tried to re- member it. Finally, he. entered a chemist's shop. " Mau," said he, " I was bidden get so e medicine, and I've forgotten the nam o't." " That's awk- ward," said the an of physic ; " what - was it for ?" " . or a sair wame, I think." " And fou don't mind the name ?" " No, b t I mind' something like it." " Ah, to me what it is, then perhaps I can ssist you." " Weel, I was bidden ask fbrltippence worth o' the Laird o' Cockpen." The chemist was staggered for a moment, then, after a laugh, asked if it was elecampane_ " Od ? I that's it ; gie m worth ;" and forthwith the . parted crowned with success. —An. admirer of Ingersoll that paragraph in which it how Bob - keeps a pocketb drawer where his children ca get what money they want at and he read its at- the supper his wife and :Ichildren and much he admired the man for it. ' The next morning when he woke cp he dis- coVered'hisyoungest boy going through ' his pantaloons pockets. " What are you doing there, young man ?" he ex- claimed, in a voice of thunder. " Why, pa," replied the youngster, " I couldn't find your pocketbook in any of the drawers, and I thought you must have forgot to lay it out." Theory is ones thing and practice another. Is HEALTH worth having? If it 'is, protect it. It is a jewel as easily lost as virtue, and in many cases as difficult to recover. In this climate, and more particularly at this season of the year, people are very apt to take cold and suf- fer from sore throat, coughs, spitting of blood, and pulmonary oompla,nts gen- erally, which if not checked in: mediate- ly lead to serious consequences. The question arises, which is the quickest and most effectual remedy ? ' Bryan's Pulmonic Wafers" have been before the public for 20 years, have always given` perfect satisfaction, and invariably effect permanent cures when taken in season.
