A Midget'S Romance.

There is romance connected with the
life of Lucia Zarate. the wee speck of hu-
manity now on exhibition at the museum,
SAYS the Philadelphia Press, which has
never been made public, and which came
out yesterday by the merest accident.
The little lady was looking out into the
vast sea of faces surrounding her elevated
platform, when suddenly she gave little
scream, and, covering her face with a
pair of hands about as big as mans
thumb nail, she began to cry. When
asked for an explanation by VI. UtIner,
her manager, she said she had seen face
which reminded her of her betrothed
lover, with whom she was obliged to
break her engagement because of her di-
minutiveness. According to Mex
ican custom, Lucia was betrothed
while in her cradle to the infant
son of wealthy rancheo. The chill
dren grew up together and at ten years
of age the boy was q sturdy little
fellow of natural size. Lucia, on the
contrary, was not as large as good
sized doll. She weighed but four pounds
and her hands were so tiny that each of
them could be covered with thimble.
As time rolled on it was very evident
that nature had never intended that she
should grow like other people, and at
the age of sixteen her parents nearly
broke her little heart by telling her that
the engagement must be broken. 1t did
seem so ridiculous that speck OF hui
manity, weighing less than five pounds
and just tail enough to touch mans
knee should be engaged to marry a
strapping young fellow of $50 pounds
but She stubbornly persisted that she
would grow il time. AM mereIy H-;ed
her eyes out when taken from home
TO make her forget her love. For six
years she did not see her youthful lover,
and had apparently forgotten him, until
she was so startled yes erjay.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

The women of Norway, while driving
their pigs to market on a very hot day,
protect them with umbrellas.
General jackson was the first president
to inaugurate the custom of shaking
the hands of all who came to his public
levees.
A spring of blood red water, smelling
like creosote and having very pungent
taste, has been discovered In mine uear
Virginia, Nevada.
The brokers of Mark Lane, London,
say that people want twenty per cent.
more bread when the weather is cold
than when it is mild and muggy.
The Chinese represent the moon by the
figure of rabbit pounding rice in a
mortar, and sometimes by 6 beautiful
Young woman with rabbit at her feet.
The Turks have superstition that an
angel has charge of each hair of the
beard, and for that reason they break and
bury each one which falls, that the angel
may be set free from his task.
The Chinese hold the theory that by
preserving a fellow creature from drown
ing, the rescuer is answerable in the
next world for all the sins afterward
committed by the person rescued, which
literally means that wise dispensation
of Providence has been frustrated.
There is large rock in the twin lakes
near Salisbury, Conn, which is called
the g moving rock, from the fact thai
within the last twenty years it has moved
quarter of mile. 1t weighs more
than thirty tons, is of porous forma-
ton, and the channel it has made for it
self along the bottom of the lake clearly
indicates the progress it has made.
The proverb as to the fOolishneSs Of
those who would not come in out of the
rain is said by Strabo to arise from a cir
aumstance in the history of Cyme in
Aeolis. The people of the city raised
loan by mortgaging one of their public
gagees good -naturedly allowed the citi-
zens to take shelter there in foul weather,
an announcement made by the cricr and
the Inhabitants of the rival town, either
through obtuscness or malice, on hearing
of the proclamation on wet days, ''Ho, We
Cymeans, come under shelter.n originated
the story.
The change in public opinion respect
ing lotteries is strikingly illustrated by
the following entry in the day-book kept
by the Rev. Samuel Seabury, father of
the first Protestant Episcopal bishop in
the United States: June, 1868. The

God, in the Lighthouse and public lot
terry of New York, appointed by law,
Ammo Domini, 1863, drew in my favor
$500 Os. Cd of which l received e425
Os. Od., which with the deduction of
fifteen per cent, makes $500, for which
now record to my posterity my thanks
and praise to Almighty God, the giver
Of all good gifts. Amen!'

Facts About Leaves,

As is we'll known, a tree cannot grow
without leaves. These are put forth
every year, and are contriyanCc for
vastly increasing the surface. An oak
tree of good size exposes several acres of
surface to the air during the growing
season. 1t has been estimated that the
Washington elm at Cambridge, Mass,
not Il very large tree, exposes about five
acres OF foliage, if we include both sides
Of the leaves. Leaves are more nearly
comparable to stomachs than lungs. \
leaf is laboratory for assimilating or
manufacturing raw materials into plant
fabric. The cellular structure of the
leaves, wood and bark of tree is a
complicated subject to treat in a popular
way. 1t requires vast surface of leaves
to do little work. By counting the
leaves on Seeding oak, and estimating
the surface of both sides of each, we
can see how many inches are needed to
build up the roots and stem for the first
year After the first year the old stem of
the oak bears no leaves. 1t is dependent
on the leaves of the branches, or its
children, for support.
~ IlCc IS IL SOll vi CoIIiLluuitH, GdCii
part having its own duties to perform.
The root hair takes up most of the nour-
ishment. The young roots take this to
the larger ones, and they, in turn, like
the branches of river. pour the flood of
crude sap into the trunk. which conveys
it to the leaves. The assimilated or di
gested sap passes from the leaves to all
growing parts of the plant, and de-
post is made where most needed. If a
branch is much exposed to the winds,
the base of it has certain support or
certain amount of nourishment. SO with
the trunk of tree If the base of
branch or the main trunk is much eX
posed to the winds and storms, much
thicker deposit of food is made there.
The winds give tree exercise, which
seems good to help make it strong. Our
toughest wood comes from trees grow
ing in exposed places. The limbs of a
tree are all the time striving with each
other to see which shall have the most
room and the most sunshine. While
some perish in the attempt, or meet with
only very indifferent success, the strong
est of the strong buds survive.
