The simplest plant possesses an art
which the most skillful chemist has not
been able to learn from it. II is true
that the chemist can artlficlally prepare
in his laboratory many of the substances
which the plantrceIl likewise produces ;
he can convert the starch of the potato
into the sugar that gives the wine grape
its sweetness; this, again, he can trans

A Veteran Tramp.

Recently a specimen of the genus
tramp appeared at the police office and
asked lodging II his story DE credited
he is entitled 10 high rank in the guild.
He gave the name OF James Hoey, and
said that he walked into town from Mer-
iden. Upon being asked why he did
| not work instead Of tramping about the
country, he said that he had not done a
days work in sixteen years, and that he
had always managed TO get a good living
without work. He came from Montreal,
where he had been in Jail for thirty DAYS
for stealing an envelope out of basket
In the past sixteen years he has been in
jail in Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Maine, South Carolina and Mississippi,
He served six months in jail in Toronto
for stealing a ride on the Great Western
Railway in Canada. He has been i'm
prisoned for various petty thefts about
four years out of the sixteen. When he
was asked if he would consent to be in
terviewed he eourteously acquiesced. He
was lying on the boards in the lookup
with his well-worn brogans serving as a
pillow, and with a worn cotton sock on
one foot and blue wooden one on the
other; they apparently had not been
laundered for six weeks. He was dressed

TO sitting posture and asked his ques-
TONER for a chew of tobacco His
request was declined, owing to an
iniiexible rule refusing prisoners the
weed. Upon being asked why he did
not turn his attention to manual labor,
he said that it was very hard work to
THANKFULLY as hard as any kind of
labor could be; but as he was used to
tramping he preferred it, as it gave him
a chance to see the world. He said that
he could not always rely upon having
his meals served regularly, but he gem
orally managed to find enough to eat:
He confessed that he liked whisky, and
that his potations were much fewer than
he wished. He thought that he should
go South this winter, as the weather was
warmer near the equator, and he enjoyed
better health in the latitude of Florida
than in Drawing the rigorous winters of
the North He pronounced the laws of
New England much harder on the pro-
fession than those in the South and West.
and said Minnesota and Missouri were
becoming rather unreasonable in their
laws for prosecuting travellers; it was
lamentable that an accomplished way
farer could no longer live comfortably in
those States. The tendency of legislation
throughout the United States was to
interfere with personal liberty -New

MY LITTLE MISTAKES.

The Phelans had baby Tom sent
mea telegram announcing what he called
the happy event; forI had known him
since we We're both at school. where he
was generally called the Fat Boy and
many of the fellows entertained the root
ed idea that he was a lineal descendant
of the fiat boy'' whom Charles Dickens
has immortalized in .sPickwick''
Tom Phelan was not only fat boy,
but, in accordance with the promise of
his youth, he became a fat young man,
with mellow face like an over-ripe pear
and an amply proportional person. In
deed, it was because of that genial, hap
ply look and general air of comfort which
his fairness impaired that little Mary
O'Rourke fell in love with and finally
married him. For this sufficient reason
Tom thought her the wisest woman of
her generation, and quite believed in his
inner consciousness that Nature had en-
dowed her with rare and admirable
taste.
Twelve months ago l had acted as
Toms best man; he had asked me to stand
by him to the last, and Ibid. l saw him
through the painful ceremony, during
which he was stared at in the keenest
way by all the bride female friends, in
GLIDING eight charming bridesmaids,
not one of whom during the time vouch-
safed me n glance; for by comparison
with the bridegroom / was an uninter-
esting man, who had not the heart, the
courage, the good taste or the sense to
take any woman for better or for worse;
therefore, in the presence of this noble
specimen of humanity, the bridegroom,
was insignificant.
? If ever a man was uncomfortable in
his life, Tom Phelan was, under the un-
gaze of these fair creatures,
and of the crowds of the brides relations
assembled for the occasion, in all their
strength and glory, inside the walls of
St. Brides Church. Dublin.

So, as | commenced by stating they
had now baby, and they made as much
fuss and excitement over the fact as if it
were the most wonderful instead of the
most natural thing in life. The day
after receiving the telegram | had let
ter from Tom, in which he described the
infant as the finest baby his sisters, his
cousins and his aunts--and, collectively,
their names are legion ever seen.
1t was a boy and nothing would please
but that l should, fortnight after the
receipt of his letter, cross the Channel
and stand godfather to his first-born-
No doubt he considered he paid me a
compliment; for he seemed to lay great
stress on the fact of my being re-
quested to stand in .such a posi-
ton to the .'first-born,' and gave
me TO understand the honor would
not be so great if / were in the coming
time, asked to hold the same position to-
ward other little types of humanity.
Iwould do anything to oblige and old
friend like Tom Phelan, even to getting

during which time did not exactly bless
