The SunnoWer.

In many districts in the West the
traveller will see growing Immediately
about the doors of farm houses beds Of
sunAowers. The belief of many is that
the growing sundower is a protection
from malaria and preventive of the
low fevers Of. malarious districts. This
plant, we believe, is made of but small
practical use in America. A scientific
writer upon the helianthus says:
Elsewhere the sunfower, if not ad-
mired, is esteemed for practical reasons.
Many of our native aboriginals make
bread of the seeds. It is cultivated in
the South of Europe sometimes as
field crop, the seeds being used as
food for cattle and poultry, and also for
making OF, which is little inferior to
olive oil, is burned in lamps, and en-
ployed in the manufacture of soap.
Meal and bread are said to be got from
the seeds in Portugal, and these, roasted,
are often substituted for coffee. The
seeds are also used like almonds for
..,aking soothing emulsions, and in some
parts of the Old World are boiled and
fed to infants. The leaves are good
fodder for cattle, the stems serve for
fuel, and contain much potash. The
different species of sunflower indigen-
GUS to the United States number some
forty, scattering from ocean to ocean,
and from New England to the Gulf.
For plant generally counted unworthy,
as it is with us, it surely has many valu-
able uses.

New York Ticket SDeculators.

During steamboat navigation the best
state.rooms are taken mp by spectators.
In winter the same class devotes itself
to the theaters, in purchasing the best
seats. When an extraordinary attrac-
ton occurs, half the house may be
taken in advance, and those who wish to
see the performance can do so by pay
ing premium. The managers say the
case is hopeless; they cannot refuse the
seats to any one who offers the price.
The spectators show great tact. They
make opera and star engagements their
harvests, and $3.50 have been made in
one night. The speculator knows the
capacity of every theater, and the at
tractive power of every performer.
This, with capital of 5000, enables
him to make q handsome living. There
is no remedy except for theater-goers to
buy tickets early, but this is seldom
done, and hence the speculator may be
considered q permanent institution.
Some Of them have been years in the
business, and find it easy to make
good living, as their profits average 500
night through the season.

The Philosophy Of Blowing Out a Candle.

The Philosophy Of Blowing Out Candle.
five blow a fire it burns more fiercely.
but if We blow candle it goes out.
These two facts taken together are ia
milar illustration of the influence of
temperature upon chemical affinity. In
both cases, that of the fire and that of
the candle, the burning is the combin-
ing of carbon and hydrogen with oxy-
gen. Now cold carbon or hydrogen may
lie in contact with oxygen for any length
of time without combining with either,
but it the substances are made red-hot
they instantly enter into chemical com
bination. When candle is burning,
the heat generated by the combustion
constantly raises new quantities of the
material to the temperature at which
combination with oxygen will take place,
and thus the combustion is kept up. But
if a current of air of temperature far
below the combustion point is thrown
against the flame, the hot vapors are
swept away, and others which are rising
in their place are SO cooled that combs
nation with oxygen no longer continues;
in other words, the candle ceases to
burn.
On the other hand, when we blow
large fire, the mass of burning COM
bustion is 50 great that, instead of the
carbon and hydrogen being cooled, the
oxygen is heated, and the combination
is made more active; in other words.
the fire burns more fercely.

MAJoL1oA.-The name is derived from
the island Majorca, where the Saracens
established manufactures of the ware.
Afterward the ware was imported into
Italy, where it borrow I'D the classic
forms and myths of ancier Greece and
Rome. Hence it is at once domestic
and refined in character, Oriental and
classic; with the harmony of color of
Chinese faience, the grace of ornament
alton of the Persian and the Grecian
classic simplicity and symmetry of form.

in comparison to his son g straight flush. :
Nevertheless, Charles had done what he
could, and he telt that few sons had ever
''sold" their fathers as completely as he
had done.
1t was only short rime ago that two
of Mr.. Thompson's vestrymen-b0t Low
Churchmen of the lowest type called
on their rector and found him 80 earnest
ly occupied in game Of euchre that he
requested them to sit down for moment
until he should have finished the game
Those two good men, both Of whom had
amused much sinful learning in their
youth, were struck with horro: at the ma
ture OF the clergyman's position. They
heard him with their own ears remark,
II make it next and play it'alone," and
saw him play both bowers, the ace, and
king, and end the game with ''march."
Master Charles then hastily gathered
up the cards, and pleading an errand
downtown, fled overwhelmed with terror
at his inevitable detection. We can faint
ly imagine the surprise and remorse of
the good Mr.. Thompson when he learned
that for months he had been IN the habit
or playing at home the games that he
denounced in the pulpit. Nothing could
convince the vestry- that their clergy
men was innocent. They Loot no time in
calling meeting Of the church, and af-
ter recital of Mr.. Thompson's wicked
ness and hypocrisy they obtained an al
most unanimously.sign request for the
rector's resignation. Mr.. Thompson is
now without charge, and the jealous
vestrymen are currently believed to be
about to carry the church over to the Re-
formed Episcopalians. IF
As for the depraved Master Charles, he
has disappeared, and great hopes are en-
tertained by the apple and watermelon
growers of Clinton that he has gone to
fight the Indians, who can scarcely fail
to appreciate his luxuriant, curly hair.

Concerning Lizards.

The common lizards of the West In
dies are extremely fond of music. In q
listening attitude, they will approach
the open window of a room in which
music is played, coming nearer and
nearer, with heads elevated, intently
listening. In q somewhat rare book,
entitled Barbados and Other Poems, :"
by M. J. Chapman Nondon, 1885, this
habit of the lizard is thus referred to {:
Gay sounds are heard within the lighted halls;
The Listening leaves tho melody enthralls;
The charmed chi: zephyr pauses - he dies.
The wakened lizard leaves his bushy bed,
Climbs to the lattice and erscts hls head.
A lizard, 80 engaged, had it's tail &C.
cidenta)ly cut off by the sudden closing
of the window on the sill of which it
was stationed. This curtailed lizard,
however, continued to visit the spot,
charmed by the music. After q short
time it was noticed that the lost appen-
dage was gradually replaced by two.
This occurred at the house of friend
in Barbados. Mr.. 81. s. Moseley, in
his charming work, "Notes by q Nat
uralist on the Challenger" Gondon,
1879, remarks: 1T is curious how
little animals seem to be frightened by
. long wand, like fishing-rod. Ihave
seen Mr.. Thwaites, in Ceylon, put q
moose Of palm fiber, fastened ut the top
Of rod Of this kind, over the heads Of
numbers of lizards, and carry them off
thus singled to put them into spirit
for DR.. Gunther. The lizards sat quiet
" to receive the moose, though If We
had moved foot nearer to them they
would have run off at once."-T. Bland,

A Monkeys Trick.

One of the best things that ever was
heard of happened in France not many
weeks ago. There lives in the south of
France man of wealth, whose chateau
or country place Of residence has
around it very tall trees. The cook of
the chateau has q monkey, pert fellow
who knows ever SO many tricks. The
monkey often helps the cook to pluck
the feathers from fowls. On the day
that interests us the cook gave the
monkey two cartridges to pluck, and
the monkey, seating himself on an
open window, went to work. He had
picked the feathers from one of tho
cartridges and placed it on the outer
ledge of the window with satisfied
grunt, when, 10! all at once hawk few
down from one of the tall trees near by
and bore off the plucked bird. Master
Monkey was very angry. He shook his
fist ct the hawk, which took seat on
one of the limbs not far off and began
to eat the partridge with great relish.
The owner of tho chateau saw the sport,
for he was sitting in grape arbor, and
crept up to see the end eff it. The
monkey picked the other partridge and
laid it on the ledge in the same place,
then hiding behind the window screen
on the inside. The hawk was caught in
this trap, for when it few down after
the partridge out reached the monkey
and caught the thief. In moment the
hawks neck was wrung and the monkey
soon had the hawk plucked. Taking
the two birds to the cook, the monkey
handed them to him as if to say !:
Here are your two cartridges, mas
ter" The cook thought that one of the
birds looked queer, but he served them
on the table. The owner of the house
shook his head when he saw the dish,
and, telling the cook of the trick,
laughed heartily.

Finding Girl" in the Bible.

An English town missionary, short
time ago, related remarkable incident
There was lodging house in his district

he was deferred from so doing by his
friend, who feared that his life would be
thereby endangered. He became at length

timid knock at the door, in response to
which coarse voice roared out: Who's
there9" and at the same moment vicl-
GUS looking woman opened the door and,
ordered the man of God away.
"Let him come in and see who he is
and what he wants." growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in,
and, bowling politely to the rough-look-
ing man whom he had just heard speak,
said:
