clas, I gained an excellent insight into the
composition of the fora Of the PLAINS,
First in rank comes the noble family OF
palms, with their stately, valuable trunks,
cocos and talipot, areca and borassus, cary
ota and palmyra, then the splendid light
green bananas, with their delicate but
gigantic fronds split by the wind, and val
liable golden fruit. Besides different
specimens or the common banana, our
garden contains a tall and magnificent
specimen OF the strange, fan-shaped tree
OF the traveller from Madagascar. 1t
stands where the principal pathway bran
ches on on the left TO a splendid example
OF the sacred fig tree. This latter, with
its pendant air roots, is very curious; many
beautiful Gothic arches open between
these roots, which support the trunk-IIke
columns. Other trees belonging TO differ.
ent groups, Qaurels, myrtles. ironwood
trees, bread fruit trees, etc. are enveloped
by splendid creeping plants and overgrown
with the lianas that play such q chief
part in the flora of Ceylon; for the fulness
OF life and constant damp, heat has such
an effect that in the densest forests crowds
OF the most various plants struggle Upward
towards the light and air. Among the
other ornaments Of the garden will spec
tally mention the large leaved calIas or
Arold@ and the beautiful feathery ferns,
two very important groups both for the
quantity OF examples and the beauty and
size OF their fronds. Then there are still
many of the most magnificent tropical leaf,
and-blossom plants, which, partly indigo
nous to the island, partly from other tropi-
cal regions-for example, south America
thrive here excellently. Above them
towers the stately hibiscus, with the large
yellow-and-red flowers; acaclas with mass
es OF beautiful fire-colored blossoms aud
mighty tamarinds with their aromatic foW-
ers; while from their branches hang climb
ing thunbergias with gigantic vlolet-colored
bells, and aristolochl9 with large yellow
aud brown funnel-s1aped flowers. Many
ruolat a., lilies, and orchIses show partIcu-
larly large and heantifnl hlnSsnms

The poet hath said that "a baby In
the house Is well spring of pleasure. y
There Is bran new one here now, the
tirst'ln eight years, and 1t has Ialsed q
powerful commohon. It's not our baby,
exactly, but 1t Is III the line of descent, and
Mrs. Arp takes on over it all the same
as she used to when she was regularly
in the business. thought maybe she
had forgot how to nurse 'em and talk
to 'em, but she Is singing the same old
familiar songs that haye sweetened the
dreams of half score, and she bleSses
the little eyes and sweet little mouth
and uses the same infantile language
that nobody but babies understand.
For she says ''tum here to its dandmud-
der" and ''bess its little heart" and
talks about its sweet little footsytootsles
and holds it up to the windows to see
the wagon go by and the wheels going

my heavy farm shoes she shakes her
ominous finger at me just like she used

asleep, and SO have to tip-toe around,
and ever and anon she wants fire, or
some hot water, or some catnip, for the
baby is a-cryIng and surely has got the
collie. The doors have to be kept shut
now for fear of draft of air on the
baby, and little hole III the window

patched, and / have to hunt up passel
of kin n'nngs every night and put 'em
where they will be handy, and they
have sent me of to another room where
the baby can't hear me snore, and all
things considered, the baby Is running
the machine, and the well spr1ng OF
pleasure Is the center of space. A
grandmother Is wonderful help and a
great comfort at such a time as this,
tor what does "a young mother with her
first child know about colo and thrash,
and hives, aud hiccups. and 1t takes a
good deal of faith to dose 'em with sut
tea and catnip, and lime water, and
paregoric, aud soothing syrup, and
sometimes with all of these the
child gets worse, and if it gets better
which remedy it was that did the work.
Children born of healthy parents can
stand power OF medicine and get over
1t, for after the cry comes the sleep,
and sleep is wonderful restorer. Rock

'em up and jolt 'em little on the knee,

Will go to sleep and let the poor mother
rest. There Is no patent on this busi-
ness, no way OF raising 'em all the same
way, but it Is trouble, trouble from the
start, and nobody but mother knows
how much trouble it is. A man ought
to be a mighty good man just for his
mothers sake, If nothing else, for there
is no toll or trouble like nursing and
caring for a little child, aud there Is no
grief SO great as mothers if all her
care and anxiety are wasted on an un-
grateful child.

Scorpions.

1t is wonderful that one doesn't
hear of more scorpion stings, consider
ing how abundant these pernicious in
sects are in nearly every tropical country.
They are fairly hardy. too, and will sur
vive a much greater degree OF cold than
centipedes. One morning, when / had

ton, lively, vigorous scorpion fell out
OF shell upon my bare foot luckily,
1T rolled off, and the carpet received the
emphatic tap of its tail which was ln-
tended as u delicate attention to myself.
A bath sponge seems to be their
favorIte haunt, and 1T always behooves
one to carefully examine that article be-
fore getting INTO ones tub in regions
where these little pests abound. 1 think
that over dozen were killed III my
cabin during one ortnight-brought
there, no doupt, in box of Espirito
Santo orchids from Panama. Cargoes
of coir, bales of medicinal woods, punches
of bananas, and other fruits and Yege-
tables in bulk often introduce them on
board vessels, and in old wooden ships
especially they will remain and colonize
the bulkheads and interspaces. l got a

though enduring exquisite agony in the
process. But it was not a centipede,
only a small blacking brush left there
by careless servant. The PsyIli OF
Pliny and other historians, as we'll as
their modern descendants, who swallow
live scorpions and carry them in their
caps next their shaven crowns, probably
deprived them first of the means OF do
ing harm, as they serve the venomous
serpents with which they Iuggle, by
by bunting their stlngs. 1t Is, never
theless, very easy to hold a scorpion,
and possibly to handle them freely.

some people car pull about wild rats
