Knew His Drill.

After the peace of 1916, the duke Of
Wellington took into his London house
hold several of the veterans OF his PENN
sular army, whose habits, being more in
accordance with the battle-felds OF Spain
than the saloons of Apsley house, were a
source of unfailing amusement to the
great generals fashionable visitors. One
battered old fellow with n eye, who
had figured conspicuously at Orthes and
Toulouse, was installed in the garden
ing department., the duke answering all
doubts of his fitness by saying, decisive
ly: swell, he's dug trenches in every
vineyard of the south Of France; ] should
hope he ought to know something of
gardening after that"
Another veteran, who had been wound
ed at Waterloo, was under discussion one
evening at dinner between the duke and
Lord Anglesea, when the subject of the
discourse entered with the measured
step of the parade-ground, carrying a
huge pie. "Now," said Anglesea, "let
us try if the old boy remembers his fac
ings;" and turning suddenly round he
cried sharply: "Attention T. The old
soldier %instinctively dropped his hands,
and the plate likewise, which ex-
ploded like a bombshell over the rich
carpet in a shower of steaming gravy.
The poor fellows look of dismay at this
catastrophe drew a smile from the iron
duke himself; but the jester fastened to
console his victim with the assurance
that no English soldier could be blamed
for knowing his drill.

One Hundred and Six.

The death of Somer Griffin, at Lodi
Ohio, at the age of LOG, is received. The
local journals give some interesting par,
siculars about the man. He died at last
from the effects of a fall while splitting
wood in his back yard-a vigorous oc.
cupation, surely, for o man of his age.
But for this accident, it is thought, he
would have lived five or six years longer.
He was a native of the village of Sims
bury, Hartford county, Conn.,, and re-
sided there until he was forty.six, when
he started West in midwinter with his
family, carrying his worldly goods in a
box on an old sled, accompanied by his
wife and five children. In ten weeks he
reached Medina county, Ohio, put up a
log cabin, and made it his home for
many years, removing at last to Lodi,
ten miles distant. He was thrice mar
ried, and had twelve children by his
three wives. He was seventy.two when
he tool. his last wife, who was forty
years his junior, who bore him three
children, and who survives him. He
always drank tea and coffee, though he
never smoked or chewed tobacco. he
was never i'll a single day in his very
long life until after his fall, when he
was confined to his bed five or six weeks.
In politics he had always taken a warm
interest, having cast his maiden vote
for Washington on his second accession
to the presidency, in 1898. He is said
to have been the eldest man in America,
having been born April "a, 1772.

The Largest Plant in the World.

We are accustomed to regard the great
trees of California as the most gigantic
specimens of vegetable growth known
to man, but such is not the case. There
is a submarine plant growing in the
North Pacific ocean which, according to
Professor Reinsch, dwarfs all others in
it's vast proportions. The Macrocystis
pyritera, one of the MelanosDern19,
has been known to grow to such an ex-
tent as to cover vast areas of the ocean
bed. One specimen, by measurement,
found to cover three square miles
and the stem from which the growth
proceeded was eight feet in diameter:
It is almost impossible to conceive of
such a plant, or how a system of nour-
ishment can be maintained through such
extended channels in the living organ
ism. Nature performs strange freaks,
and certainly none can be stranger than
the fact that of this gigantic species
there are some specimens so small as to
