THE HURON XPOSITofl.
The Upas Tree.
BY W. FALCONER.
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.

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.

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."

—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.
