A STRANGE PLANT.-A curious plant
has been discovered in Wisconsin which
produces kind of cotton and fax from
The same stalk. 1t has already been wo-
ven into fabrics, and, as any article that
will make as good cloth as can be made
from this plant will make good paper, it
has been called the paper plant. 1t can
he planted in the spring, and cut in the
fall and winter. 1t bleaches itself white
as it stands, and it will yield three or
four tons to the acre. From a single
ROOT that was transplanted last spring
grew twenty large staihss with s6s pods
coAtalning the cotton, at least sixty seeds
in each From this root were obtained
seven ounces of pure cotton and over 2
pound of fax. 1t is a very heavy plant,
and grows sfon SIX to seven feet high.

DAINTY EATERs.-A menagerie ele

the best timothy hay every twenty-four
hours. Giraffes, camels, zebras and deer
are also hay eating animals, but are not
so particular in reference to its quality
as the elephant. Sea-hons have to be
fed on fish, usually fresh and salt mack
erel, each animal taking twelve to fifteen
each meal twice day, and consuming
altogether one hundred pounds of fish
daily. Next in point of delicate eaters
come the polar bears, whose regular diet
is bread soaked in milk, with fish now
and then for change. The black bears
are also given bread, one hundred pounds
being used daily. Vegetables of almost
every sort are fed literally to the differ
ent animals-cabbage, potatoes, carrots,
onions and turnips. The elephants are
great cabbage eaters, in addition to their
standard diet, Lay, The giraffes, singu-
larly enough, are great onion eaters,
while the deer and goats, and animals of
the COW species, eat carrots and turnips
and potatoes. Bran and oats and corn
are also literally istributed-mostly
once or twice a week--amoIg the hay

THE WANDERING JEW.

According to the popular legend, the
Wandering Jew was person born of the
tribe of Naphtal. a few years before the
birth of Christ. He ran away from his
father to accompany the three wise men
from the East, who were guided by star
to the mauger at Bethlehem. On his
return to Jerusalem, he reported that tie
child had been saluted as King of the
Jews, and it was this report that caused
the massacre of the children under two
years of age. He was carpenter, and
made the cross, and when Christ passed
his workshop on the way to Calvary, he
insulted him. Another legend says the
Wandering Jew was a shoemaker, and as
the Saviour passed his shop, he refused
to allow him to enter and rest himself.
According to both legends, Christ bade
him traverse the earth, without stopping
or resting, until the second coming. In
the Jews ceaseless wanderings from that
time, he is reported in vain to have
sought death amid the greatest dangers
and calamities. Many good people who
have professed to believe in the person
ality of the Wandering Jew, have point
ed to st. John, XXI. 21-22, considering
the declaration there made as sufficient
evidence of the truth of what is almost
universally held as fiction. The legend
first appears in the chronicle of Matthew
Paris. in the thirteenth century, where
the Wandering Jew is called Cartaphilas,
and said to have been a servant of Pom
thus PLATE. The legend has formed the
basis of many poems, tragedies and
romances, one of the most famous of the
last named being Eugene Sues work.

pending nomination of ex- Congressman Hor
ace Maynard, of Tennessee, as postmas ter gen

firmation, taking the ground that in view o.
Maynard's unquestioned private integrity and
ability, his extreme partisans hip during the
exceptional period referred to, should be over
looked, in the interest Of peace and reconcilia
