MR. SPEIGHT LIGHTS HIS PIPE.
There lay Mr. Robert Speight's pips on the shelf, black and cald as an ancient Aztec altar. He had not taken a pall on it for days; he said he didn't enjoy it any more.
Now a man may have a row with a friend, and the two meat without speaking for six months, yet no harm done.
To throw off one's smoke, however, is a dif. ferent thing; it is a bad sign. Our friend had not repudiated tobaco on what is called "prin- ciple"; he had not joined any of these societies, you know--the sort that enjoy themselves by making others miserable-and then give out that the Millennium is alone aboard. Not a wood with undiminished devotion. but--well, take the tale right from his own month-it will hit a lot of as on the side of the head where we most need a little sense knocked.in.

A curious property possessed by such living bit of that. He loved his fragrant old brier A OFFICE, on N.E corner of THIEV forms as amabe, bacteria and infusoria is chemotaxis, or attractionfor repulsion by various chemical substances. It may be illustrated by placing the end of a capillary tabe of weak potassium chlorate in a drop of water contain ing any of the organisms, which at once collect at the mouth of the tube, and it doubtless serves to keep the creatures near food supplies, and appears to aid bacteria in sach processes as suppuration. Perfooting an experiment made by Panitow in 1858, Prof Julius Bernstein, of Halle, has caused a drop of mercury to imitate, ins vory singular manner, the movements of the living organisms. In a level-bottomed vowel of dilute nitric acid he placed a small mercury globule and laid a pince of bichromate of petesh at a little distance away. When the circle of solusion from the bichromate reached the drop, the latter started directly toward the crystal, reaching it in a few seconds. As the arystal recoded the drop followed, continually shanging its shape, and darting forth and with drawing long tentacles in exact imitation of the movements of living amobo. The motions of the mercury are explained as a result of leswoping of
pain in the left side, and a feeling of tightness across the chost, as though an iron band were screwed around mo. I was afraid to eat any thing solid because it gave the sense of ohok ing; and whenever I did eat pastry, or roast or fried meat, I couldn't stand the feeling it gave me. I was obliged to make myself sick with salt and water and get relief that way. For months together I lived on slope.
"Thinking it might do me good I went with some friends to the Isle of Man for a holiday, but was glad to get back. Doctors attended me, but their medicines all missed the mark. I could no longer enjoy my pipe. and this left me lonely as a wrecked sailor; all smokers will understand that.
