RIP VAN WRINKLES GRAVE.

How il was Visited by the Dramatic Gre
ator of the. Observation-Disclosures Inten-
tions.
Joseph Jefferson has within a few days
visited for the first time in his life, the gorge
in which Irving located the tale of RIP Van
Wrinkle" 1t reaches up from the plain very
picturesquely between two of the Catskill
Mountains. A creek creeps and trickles
down between boulders and over pebbles;
the slopes are wooded and the precipices
messed the meager description which Irving
made of the scene of his legend strikes the
visitor as wretchedly inadequate. There is
an inn here in Sleepy Hollow, and the
owner was foolish enough not TO build 1t In
an old-fashioned style, or stick moss on it, or
even hang a weather-beaten sign from it.
What he did was to erect stiff, white house
and let il look brand new. 1t wasn't his
conscience that prevented him from coun-
terfeiting a colonial tavern and swear
ing that it was antique. He has got the
idea that people generally believe the story
of Rip Van Wrinkle, and he points out the
spots where the lovable sot encountered the
keg-laden dwarf, where he saw the old fell
lows play ten-pins and where he lay during
his long sleep He has seen Jefferson act
Rip, but he did not recognize the actor in
The cloSe-shayen, venerable old man who
came with others to look at the place.
He mistook him for a minister as any
body might easily do, aud was agreeably
surprised TO see him drink glass of beer.
The gorge did not seem to greatly interest
the man who has made fame and fortune out
of its legend. He has grown tired of the
RIP Van Wrinkle" play and rather resentful
toward it, because he thinks that his success
in il mas obscured his versatility.

The Land of Nowhere.

SONG FOR DISCONNECTED BOYS AND GIRLS.
Do you know where the summer blooms all the
year round,
Where there never Is rain on a picnic day,
Where the tholnleSs rose in its beauty grows,
And little boys never are called FROM play2
OH hey it is far away,
In the wonderful lGnd of Nowhere.
Would you like to live where nobody scolds,
Where you never sre told at is time for bed /"
Where you learn without trying aud laugh with
out crying,
Where snsrles never pull when theylcomb your
headf
Then oh heyl you must HE away
To the wonderful land OF Nowhere.
II you long TO dwell where You never need wait
Where no one is punished OF made to cry,
Where a supper Of cakes is not followed by aches,
And little folks thrive on a diet of pie2
Then hol heyi you must 90, say,
To the wonderful land of Nowhere.
GOu must drift down the river of Idle Dreams,
Close to the border OF NO-man's Land;
For year and day you N list sail away,
And then you viii come t. an unknown strand,
And no. hey If you get there-stay
Ia the wonderful land of Nowhere.

they were alone, the farmers wife would
remind her husband of the magic ring. and
suggest many plans But as he always an
swered that they HAD plenty of time and
that the best thoughts come last she more
and more rarely mentioned the ring, and at
last the good woman ceased speaking of it
altogether.
To be sure, the farmer looked at the ring.
and twirled it about as many as twenty
times day; but he was very careful meyer
to wish.
After thirty or forty years had passed
away, and the farmer and his wife had grown
old and white-haired, and their wish was still
unwlshed, then God was very good to them,
and on the same night they died peacefully
and happily.
Weeping children and grandchildren sur
rounded the two collins; and as one wished
to remove the ring from the still hand as a
remembrance, the oldest son said: LET our
father take his ring into the grave. There
was always mystery about it; perhaps it
was some dear remembrance. Our mother,
too, so often looked at the ring-she may have
given it to him when they were young"
So the old farmer was buried with the ring
which had been supposed TO be a wish-ring,
and was not; yet it brought as much good
fortune into the house as heart could desire.

SUNLIGHT ALL THE WAY.

"Good-by. Jennie: the road is long,
And the moor is hard to cross;
But well you know there is danger
In the boys and the mGrSshy moss.
But keep in the foot-path, Jennie,
Let nothing tempt you to stray;
Then you'll get safely over II,
For there's sunlight all the way
Sunlight all tine way;
so never you fear,
Keep gOOd heart, dear,
For there's sunlight all the way"
The child went of with blessing
And kiss of mother-loye;
The daisies were down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
On, on, in the narrow foot path
Nothing could tempt her TO stray;
So the moor was passed at nightfall,
And she'd sunlight all the way.
Sunlight all the way;
And she smiling said.
AS her bed was spread:
81 had sunlight all the way"
And !, who followed the maiden,
Kept thinking as went
Over the perilous moor of life
What unwary feet are bent.
II they could keep the fOOt-path,
And not in the marshes stray,
Then they would reach the end OF Lie
Ere the night could shroud the day.
They'd have sunlight all the way;
But the marsh is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls on the day.
Far better to keep the narrow path,
Nor turn TO the left or right;
For If we lOiter at morning,
What shall we 90 when the night
Falls back on our lonely journey,
And we mourn our vain delay
Then steadily onward, friends. ana we
Shall have sunlight all the way.
Sunlight all the way.
Till the journeys Ger,
And we reach the shore
OF q .never-endlng day.

Some Wonders of the Vegetable World.
Golden Days.


In botany, certain trees and plants stand
out from the majority, owing to their mon
strOus size, eccentric shape, and mysterious
properties
In Sumatra have been found the largest
flowers as yet discovered On one species OF
the trees IN that island grows paraSitically a
large, carbuncle like bud, which expands in
10 a flower measuring from three to six feet
across. Its cup will hold twelve pints of
fluid, and its weight is fourteen pounds
This flower was discovered by Sir Thomas
Raffies and DR.. Arnold aud hence its name,
'Rafflesia Arnold" It's exceptional size and
curious scent, which resembles that of tainted
beef, would make il an extraordinary and
unpleasant boutonniere.
In Western Sumatra grows a still larger
flower Amorphallus Tltanum. This plant
has two stages of eXistence-first as a AoweE,
next as a tree. The flower grows to about
three feet in height. and measures about the
same across. Its appearance is grand; but
the smell. like that OF the former flower, Is
offensive, an Odor being emitted from the
cone like decaying fish. Within the cone
are the seeds Of the plant, growing out OF the
stem
When the flower dies il falls away, and
then the stem shoots rapidly into the air.
Increasing I'm circumference as it does so, 1t
grows to the height Of eight feet On the top
are clusters of seeds. some 400 in number.
Each seed is as large as a date, and OF bright
Another large flower is the well known
Victoria Regia, one of the grandest and most
beautiful Of aquatic plants 1t was discover
ed by Sir Robert III. SchombuEgh in 1887, in
a river at Berbice, South America The
leaves Of the specimen here met with measur-
ed from five to six feet in diameter, the
flower fifteen inches across.
We now come to a series OF plants that
seem destined by Providence to keep down
the multitu les of flies that swarm in the
tropics The Pitcher plant and the Side-sad-
die are the most noticeable. They both con-
tain in their flowers a self-distilled fluid,
which attracts numerous insects, which, al
1ured by the moisture, fall in and are
drowned.

catches inse is in another way. As soon as a
: fly has alighted within the two fieshy lObes
armed with spines, they close together, kill
ing the crature within, and then open for a
fresh victim.
The CarTien flower is also useful in dimin-
1shing the number OF insect plaques. This
curious flower is native Of South Africa.
