A Singular Plant.

One of the most interesting and Gu
rious plants of which we have any
knowledge, says the Floral CaJinet,
erplant family, the Dischda Rattle
siana. 1t creeps with long, twining
stem, which is destitute of leaves until
near it's summit. This stem may eX-
ten a hundred feet or more from the
roots. 1t woull seem that both the
length of stem and the fewness of the
leaves woulI make it difficult for the
flow of sap to be maintained.
However this may be, whatever may
be the possibilities Of nature in this
direc ion FIR the plant, we perceive a
curious provision by which it is large
ly Independent of its ground roots
either for moisture or feed. Along
the stem we find suspended long cyl
indrical vessels, apparently formed Of
a leaf with the edges rolled toward
each other, and adherent, with an
open mouth, These commonly con-
tain water gathered from rain and
dew, and form trap for ants and in
sects, which go there TO quench their
thirst, but find an untimely grave.
The decay Of these forms nutritive
fluid, from which the plant might feed
if it only had a way of reaching It with
its roots. Rootlet; spring from the
stem and enter the vessel to drink and
feed from fluid a cunning instinct
has contrived. We are almost tempt
ed to say the genius of this plant is
superior to its morals. There is no
innocence in laying a trap for the
poor fellow who seeks your spring for
drink, and drowning him and eating
him in Sc ret, 49, .-.--.

as that was supposed to make the
blood run more freely. This pole was
painted red, so that the blood stains
might not show so much. When not
being used it was hung outside of the
door, and the linen baudages employed
in the operation were sometimes twist
ed around it to dry. In this way a
striped pole came to be re ognized as
the regular sign of BARRIERS shop.
At one time it was the fashion for
BARRIERS to put out blue and white
pole, while surgeons used red and
white one.

Making n Magnet of q Snake.

William Riffert, telegraph operator

black snake came down off the noun

Office, and coolly coiled itself upon his
table while he was out. On his return
it began darling out its tongue, but
showed no disposition to move. He
got piece of copper wire, fastened
one end to the battery, then stretched
it ro;s the snakes tail. Another
wire wa stretched in front of the
snake in such way as to annoy it.
The next time it darted out its tongue
it touched the wire, receiving terri
BILE shock. This made it so mad that
it grabbed the wire in its mouth and
could not let g0. The battery was
shaken up, and the snake began a
series of gyratons never before seen
on any stage. When killed its body
was so magnetized that nails and
pieces Of railroad iron stuck to it,

A Desperate Suicide.

GUM, was most terrible. A young
clerk at bank there had been ar
rested for having forged and cashed a
check for 10000 francs on the bank.
An uncle of his, clerk in the same
bank, was so much affected by the
event that he resolved to commit
suicide with his wife and two chill
dren. They first tried to open their
VEINS and then to suffocate them
selves, and, finally, they threw them
selves into the cistern. One of the
children, little boy escaped. and
called the neighbors. The wife was
found dead, and her daughter MORALLY
wounded, while the man, who was
saved, disappeared, and it was believed
that he had drowned himself.

Modern CranIsS.

United States District Attorney
Corkhill, of Washington, recently de-
livered an address before the Nedico-
Legal society in New York, upon I'm
sanity as Defense for Crime" He
first quoted many leading physicians
to show that modern scientific men,
both in America and in Europe, de-
fine insanity rs a disease. That which
had been called moral insanity, he
said, had no scientific recognition, and
should never be countenanced in a
court of justice. A jury should be
specially chosen to try q prisoner
whose defense was insanity. If he
should be found insane, he should be
confined in an insane asylum for a
certain time, commensurate with the
character of his crime. Continuing,
Mr.. Corkhill spoke as follows:
1t is the most astounding fact in
the whole history Of the administra-
ton of criminal jurisprudence, that
within the past few years. nurtured
by the vagaries and senseless theories
of medical men on the subject, and
supported by the testimony of So
called experts, almost every criminal,
when arraigned, offers insanity as his
defen e, assured that he will have the
assistance and support of medical
authors and experts. And, as con-
sequence, we have had Just as many
different kinds of insanity as we have
had crimes. But there IS class well
known, and recognized in every COM
munity, who by their erratc character,
their vanity, their egotistical declara-
tions, crowd themselves into every as
ISOLATION, and by their arrogant assump-
ton become prominent. They are not
always men who wear long hair,
nor women who wear short hair. You
have them in your society, unless the
press misreports some of your dis
cussions. They are doctors without
patients, lawyers without clients and
ministers without parishes. Without
ever having done an honest days toll,
they crowd themselves into labor and
trade organizations, and assume to be
representative men. And yet they are
the true representative traitors, muir
derers, thieves and scoundrels of COM
munities. and when one of them COM
mits a crime the entire race of vaga-
bonds Join in the clamor for their ex-
emption from punishment on the
ground of in anity. There has been a
word coined of late years to designate
these people, and they are called cranks.

Ancr Three DAYS.

Mr.. CHxRLEs w. MoRRIs, Eagle" Office,
Pittsfeld, Mass, writes, May 25 1888: "For
several months my wife's mother Mrs. Amy
Boyce) had been in very precarious condi-
ton with dropsy or Bright's disease of the
kidneys, and having used all methods and
measures for her restoration in the line Of
treatment by our leading physicians, and
having failed to benefit her, her farnily.de-
SPARED of seeing her relieved, and gave her
up to die. Happening to run across the tes-
timony of Mrs. Dawley, who had been cured
of similar sickness by using Hunts Remedy,
we at once procured bottle of it, and COM
menced giving it as directed. After using it
three days She was so far improved that she
could Get from her bed TO her chair without
assistance Ga circumstance shat had not hap
Tened for months). Previous to taking it
she WAS troubled more or less with short
breath, requiring n continuous tanning TO
keep her alive. This gradually improved as
wo continued the use of Hunts Remedy, and
on the fourth bottle she was able to set up all
day. She was bloa.e1 terribly in both limbs
and body upward to the lungs. The tenth
day the bloa!ing left her bowels, and now she
is not swolltn above the knees. Her kidneys
were very bad at the time, discharges being
of bloody character and emitting a sicken-
ing odor. / can say that the change in her
case has been wonderful, and Hunts Remedy
has worked q miracle in her."
