on this amicable arrangement, Katisha,

The second act takes place in Ko-Kot

with trees, bathed in sunlight, with
river stretching far away in the distance.

The Coroner's certificate of execution is

mikado explains that he has come on en-
tirely different business-namely, to look

The deed is confessed with abject humil-

appears to be settled satisfactorily, his
majesty suddenly remembers that to en-
compass the death of the heir-apparent is

TWining Plants.

One of the first peculiarities to be no.
ticed in connection with the twining OF
plants is the fact that with very few ex'
ceptions all the individuals of one species
always twine in the same direction. Most
plants twine in an opposite course to the
movement of the sun or of the hands OF
a watch, Supposing them to stand in
front of you, they twine from your left
toward your right. Such twiners are the
morning glory, wistaria, bean, hoya OF
wax-plant, trumpet -creeper, and many
others. Of those which twine in the op'
posite direction the hop and wild bind
weed, or climbing ,polygonum- known
as wild buckwheat-are familiar ex
amples.
1t is an interesting experiment to en-
deavor by pinning, tying or other means
to make plant grow in an opposite di-
rection from that which it naturally
takes. It will be found that even a
plant has way of its own which is not
to be changed.
Let us undertake to discover the
manner in which plant twines about a
support. We will suppose that young
hop-vine is growing in the yard. The
first two or three joints-called inter
nodes-will be found to stand upright.
There is no need for them to twine, and
nature does not waste her forces. The
internodes which next form begin to
show an interesting popularity, how
ever. After they have attained length
of few inches they will be found to be
dehexed first to one side, then to
another, until they have made circle.
The motion becomes more rapid as the
internodes grow longer, until, when two
or three feet long, they sweepa circle in
two or three hours. They will often
make circle four or five feet in diam
eter in search of some support to twinc
upon. And if the tip of the revolving
shoot should strike support, what
would happen7 Just the same thing as
if you were swinging rope about your
head and the end of it should strike a
pole. The rope would wind about the
pole in the same direction in which it
was moving. The hop shoot revolves
with the sun, and if it should come in
contact with a stick, it would twine
about it in the same direction. - Yoatb'i

A SPRING POEM.

The old man sits in the garden chair,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring,
His hat is of, so his head is bare,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring,
He readeth Tupper, it makes him weep,
And anon he falls in calm, deep sleep,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring.
The early wasp hath vicious look,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring.
As he cometh out of his winters nook,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring.
BE seeth the old mans shiny pate.
And his wild eye CLEANS with a deadly hate,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring. ....
Loudly the old man shores in the sun,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring,
Quickly the little wasp HES to the fun,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring.
He sits him down with fiendish glee,
And goes for that head with one, two,
three,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring. ..
Yells of murder" are heard around,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring, ...
The old man rose with terrible bound.
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring.
He sprang three feet and came down hard,
And hence this song by Springtide bard,
Spring, Spring, beautiful Spring.

A Fortune in Painted Oil Barrels.

During long voyage or long jour
uey by rail sometimes half barrel of oil
would leak through the pores of the
wood and evaporate. So some sharp
fellow began to study some way of pre-
venting such loss. He first painted the
barrel blue on the outside and then filled
it with water and allowed it to stand
until it had soaked up all it would. Then
the oil was put in. The water kept the
oil from soaking in the wood, and the
paint on the outside kept the water
from coming out He got patent on
his discovery, and now he sits in his Of.
fee and draws his royalty of one cent on
every barrel made to hold kerosene oil
for shipment, --Mep York Mail

Pigeon Catching in the SOudan.

Miss sartorious, in her book on the
Soudan and Egypt, says; every village
has its pigeon houses, looking like great
mud cones, and in the evening the
owners go out and call them in. But
when q man wants to get hold of extra
pigeons, instead of calling them he
frightens the pigeons away. They dc
not understand this, keep circling above
and swoop down now and then toward
their houses. Other pigeons seeing thii
commotion, join them, and as soon az
the man sees there are enough he hides
The whole of the birds, old and new,
then go into the house, and the man re-
turning, shuts them in. This would be
fine business if it were not that all oi
them do the same thing, and
therefore, each gets caught in his turn
They know this perfectly well, but nc
Egyptian fellah could resist the tempta
tion Of cheating his neighbors."
