fhrouQh Chinese Spectacles.
Here are some comments on the kai
ser from the pen of n Chinese student:
"The German Kaiser Is not the su
perior Man as deciphered by the Chi
nese llternture; he Is surely a mean
fellow containing much fraudlsh cun
ning In his decetted heart. The Supe
rior Man is shown In the merits of
the excellent heart with much loving
kindness to all peoples; the mean fel
low Is displayed in the black heart of
the nnregenerated devils of the hell
with much loving kindness only to
himself. In the history of China was
a Emperor who burn the books and
slewed the scholars to extinct the civi
lizations of the peaceful Inhabitant! ;
but he was not success In his crafty
tricks, for the civilizations could never
be extincted by such dishonourable
barbarism means. Now the German
Kaiser he also awfully wishing to
slave the people and extinct the civi
lizations of the universe; he also de
stroy the literature books, and the
arts, and the ships, and mess the
people of Allies Nations . . . But
he will not be success." Manchester
Guardian.
The Deadly Nightshade.
Deadly nightshade, which Is cultl
vatqd to supply the English market
with atropine, bears a botanical
name. Atropa belladonna, curiously
appropriate to Its qualities, evil and
good, combining the name of the
most dreaded of the Fates Atro
pos, whose function was to cut the
thread of human life with the Ital
ian for a beautiful woman. One, of
the most curious facts concerning
the poison of the nightshade Is Its
much more potent effect upon hu
man beings than oij animals, for
though deaths from eating the ber
ries are fairly common among chil
dren, the birds eat and thrive .on
them, and the leaves, almost equal
ly dangerous to man, seem Innocu
ous to horses, sheep, pigs, rabbits,
and other animals, which browse
upon them freely. The frequent oc
currence of nightshade in the neigh
borhood of ruined abbeys and mon
astic houses makes It reasonable to
believe that many of the wild plants
ore survivors from monkish herb gar
dens. , .llftri
