The Ba0bab.

THE baobab is plant OF monstrous
size, the most colossal and the most
ancient vegetable monument on earth,
has round woolly leaves, which consist
of from three TO seven leaflets radiating
from common center, and giving them
somewhat the appearance OF hand anu

nous tree, holding among plants the place
that the elephant holds among animals

the earth has undergone, and deluges
that have buried beneath their waves the
productions Of early ages. Several bao..
babs that have been measured were found

hang, at times, colossal nets, three feet in
length, and resembling large oval baskets
open at the bottom, and looking from the

The Romance OF q Restaurant.

A CHICAGO correspondent of the Troy
Times says: "a bit of romance recently
came to my notice which has not before
appeared In print. Some time in Decem-
Der last girl about seventeen years of
age, who at that time was serving as table
waiter in large dining restaurant, was
arrested for stealing package of money
from the pocket of a gentleman's overcoat
which was hanging in the room while he
was eating his dinner. At the prelimi-
nary examination party swore to having
seen her take the coat down and hang 1t
up quickly again; that she soon left the
room for short time; and, as the money
was not to be found, she was held for trial.
In vain she protested that she merely
moved the coat TO avoid its getting soiled;
in vain with fearful eyes she offered to be
searched. The circumstances were sus-
picious, and the officers memorable. In
the meantime the gentleman who had lost
the money became interested in her his
tory, found she was an orphan girl, and,
though comparatively friendless, bearing
an excellent character. Further than
this he ascertained she was of English
parentage, that her name was the same as
his own, and, to make the story short,
from evidence which he could not disbe-
lieve, that she was the daughter of his
own brother, whom he supposed to have
died childless in Australia several years
ago. OF course he declined prosecuting
her, and, as he Is wealthy and without
near kin, he at once arranged TO take her
home with him, on his return from the
West, whittier he was then en- route. The
other day he, with his newly adopted
child so strangely brought to him, started
for New York, whence they will soon
sail for England"

ceeded to do, and at the end of two or
three days he had got together about
$500. Then the Captain drew on Barings
for this amount, in favor of the Consul,
who handed over the gold, about enough
10 pay the coal bill. The Paymaster set
tied this and took his triplicate receipts.
Then the coal people loaned the whole
amount, $500. to the Consul, who again
gave it to the Captain, taking another bill
of exchange on Barring for the same
amount This time the Paymaster had
enough for three or four bills, which he
settled, leaving the gold behind him, but
was followed about by the Consul, who
Immediately borrowed it again, only to
turn ii over again to the United States
officers, and take another bill of exchange
in return.
"This made nine hundred pounds. Bills
amounting TO some seventy five pounds
remained; so, the last time, the Captain
drew on the exhaustless Consul for q
round hundred, paid up everything, and
was about to leave for his ship when
complaint was made that the Americans
were taking gold out of the island Sure
enough, the Captain and Paymaster had
kept the change, some twenty-five pounds,
and, TO satisfy the public, the invaluable
Consul drew his draft on Earrings, where
he had not penny of deposit, but on
whom he had drafts for $1,000, for just
the amount giving 1t in return for the
cash, which remained on the island.
THUS the Tuscarora was coaled and pro-
visioned for her cruise at an expense OF
some $1,000, without bringing dollar
into port or carrying dollar away. This
is long story, but some of our financial
wiseacres, If they study 1t intelligently
may get from it some ideas and sugges.
tions as to the value of confidence and
credit, and as to the immense amount OF
business that can be safely done upon a
small basis, provided the basis is sound

at the organ, with one powerful sweep OF
his hands over the keys he summoned his

youth and babe it stand resurrectionized

chord dropped out of the splendid work.
Shoutingly, exultantly the tones leaped
forth, "and their name was called Won

AT last, from sheer exhaustion, the mu-
stefan dropped to the floor, and lying
there at Hester's feet he wept tears which
were no shame to him.

counterpart of my own work. Is it not
an awful thing to think of My own

is all gone nowl Let me thank God for
that"
Then, wrapping his arms about her,
Robert Field kissed his wife's pale face
and kissed her tender mouth, her wavy
hair, and her slim, pale, faithful hands.
My wife! my wife! Oh, what If your
love had failed you, Hesters II, in those
terrible nrst hours or my misfortune,
your true heart had been one whit less
true, then l should have been lying in
my grave to-day, broken and forgotten

SO fame and success inSthe later days of
his life came, not unwelcomely, to Robert
Field. The world welcomed his famous
piece with none the less acclaim for its
long delay, and for the strange story
which accompanied it. One truth only
concerning that fatal night Robert with
held-known alone to his faithful wife.
But Conrad ChaTteris had long ago disap-
peared from the town, and was seen no
more among them. So he and Hester
buried the secret in their hearts, contented
that it should be so-for God is His own
avenger. ..
They had been taught wonderful
lesson, too, by One who, having lived on
earth, knew what the full fruition OF
earthly life must be- and who gave, ere lie

Just big enough for two;
And one spare room for company
And one spare bed within II.

With pickering every minute"
And one word as to cooking, John;
Your wife can do IL best,
For love TO make the biscuit rise

No matter il each day you don't
Bring turkey to the table,
Twill better relish by and by,
When YOU are better able.
For al you buy pay money, John,
Money earned every day,
III you would have your life run smooth,
There is no better way.

No money In his wallet.
And now when you are married, John,
Don't try TO ape the rich;
