Strange But True

By I. ll. Mloihrlhur

The Airopa Belladonna is a poisonous plant and well known drugs are prepared from it. Bell- adonna poisoning is the same as atropine poisoning, causing a pecu- liar delirium. The name belladonna comes to the plant from the use at the red sap the women of Itlly use as a cosmetic.

Female seals reach maturity at the end, of two years, the males not until seven years old. J

It is a curious fact that baby skunks no bigger than mice will, when frightened, go through the attitude of defense, prepared to M- pel the enemy with their harmless musk weapons. No musk secretions are in evidence before a youngster is 3 months old. The spray can be thrown a, distance of six feet, in any direction or at any elevation; The smell has been known to cause convulsions, fainting and even death.

A few years ago, my neighbor, the late Mrs. Frank Howard, called across the lawn separating our homes to tell me that o. skunk was trapped in the box trap, I'd set for it in her back yard.

Quickly I got hold of an old revolver and rushed to the scene. I stood the box containing the stinker bottom side down and cau- tiously drew back the slide cover. Keeping my body well -drawn back I held the hand holding the re- volver over the door and fired. The skunk let go at the same time and although the bullet foirnd its marl: the adventure cost me a. good shirt.

Mrs. Florence Sparrow, of Lon- don, England sliced into a loaf of bread and found a. sparrow. The bakery was fined :70 for selling bread unfit for human consump- tion.

The baby crop in the U.S.A. last year set a record. The public health service reports the total was 3.833,- 000. The highest previously was 3.- 818.000 in 1947. The infant mortal- ity rate dropped for the 15th con- secutive year.

It is not often that two women get a divorce from the same man on the same day and in the same court: It happened recently in Columbus, 0.. when Mrs. C. Hoo- ver got a divorce from M. Herbert Hoover. and Hoover's first wife, Julia Hoover, got one too.

For some unknown reason male bears have a habit of biting into trees along the paths they take through the forests. Whenever a bear passes one of these trees he stops, stands on his hind legs. and gnaws and scratches at the bark before resuming his journey. And strange but true, the bear that can make the tallest mark on the tree bones the road. Should Bomy happen to get killed no male bear passes that way for a long time.

Considering the size of Grizzly and black bears, the offsprings at birth are astonishingly small (a- bout 8 inches) and weigh not more than 9 - 12 ounces, which is about mother's weight.

Sport Echoes From Prince County

The Summerslde Holman Inter- mediates with one experienced player in the outfield, and one in the infield, came through to final victory over the Abbie Juniors at Charlottetown on Sunday, after it had begun to look as if Donnie MacLean, smart young Charlotte- town pitcher, was going to shut them out.

It would be famous not in mlt that Dame Fortune ionk nondescrlpt l-lolmnn oulflt by hand and helped them over hurdle in the eighth Inning. if Syl Bernard's fly to right had been a double instead of the fluke homer it turned out to be. Gay would have scored, but not Syl. so the score would have been tied instead of Holmanis leading by one counter.

O I I I

The fickle old flame, however, turned her attention to the Ab. bias in the very last half of the Same, Ullllntf. and Charlie Ken. nedys homer was another under. hand stroke of rate. There was :9 one on base for Clmrlicls Hlgxtzle tLo score but himself, so

I Jus nbout evened things up as at as breaks of the zame one concerned. So. whether the score was 1-1 or 2-2, Charlie Deighan's timely single would have hailed in the winning run. Ev MacNelll, junior .coacli, was the first in point this out to us. You've got to hand it to Ev. He wasn't try- ing to find any excuses for his teams dcfcal.

The Holman team is a far cry from the old izlndlaiors who rode to three Maritime championships.

That aggregation never when they were licked. They pulled a victory out of the gap- ing Jaws of defeat more than once. And although the kids, Vance Harris and Dee Lefurgey, playing for the first time before a hostile crowd, stood up mag- nificently and besides getting a blngle apiece, never committed a mlscue, it ll significant that the boys who really turned defeat in- to victory were members of the old champs. Syl Bernard's bingle in the eighth, (call it a fluke homer, if you like, but it was a clean cut double), Charlie Delgh- an's single in the ninth. and Joe Bernard's inspired pitching in lhat final Inning were the three baseball chores that won all the marbles. As long as there is one member of the old guard on that team, they're liable to pop up at any time and upset the apple cart. I I I I The gorgeous gals have played two games now without scoring a run. In both games they were beaten by identical scores. 16-0. We can't; understand It. In prac- lice. they look like a. million dollars (and we don't mean those picturesque new wine uniforms). I I I I Pitching, and pitching alone, gave the alrforce men's softball teams such a superiority over our Summerside boys, that, because the result of the games was a foregone conclusion before the first ball was pitched, players started to lose interest and men's softball, is a dead number now in Summerside, although it is flour- ishing in Charlottetown. Ladies' softball is due to hit the skids in the same way if some lady softball pitchers are not soon dc- veloped here. There is quite an interest in ladies' softball here now, but fans soon tire of any game in which there is no un- certainty as to the ending. In softball as in everything else, you've got to have-SUSPENSE! I I

The person who likes to argue doesn't want to win an argument. That would end the arguing.

Too many public office holders hold down expensive swivel chairs with foam rubber cushions while the tax payer is lucky to have a cane bottomed chair, even though he has little time to occupy it.
