The Caricature Plant.

One of the most remarkable plants in
the whole vegetable kingdom is that
known to botanists us the JuStict0 Ptctd,
which has also been well named 'The
Caricaturc Plant"
AT first sight it appears to be heavy,
large leafed plant, with purple blossoms,
chiefly remarkable for the light-yellow
centers of its dark-grccn leaves When
l first saw this odd plant and was think
ing what sickly, blighted appearance
the queer, yellow stains gave it, l was
suddenly impressed with the fact that
the plant was making faces" at me.
And my first impression was correct.
This curious shrub had indeed occupied
itself in growing up in ridiculous carl
caturcs of the "human face divine" I'M
til it now stood, covered from the top
most leaf down, with the quecre't faces
imaginable. Nature had tcken to
caricaturing. The flesh-colored pro-
files stood out in strong relief against
the dark-green of the leaves.
A discovery of one of these vegetable
marks led to an examination of second
and a third leaf, until all were scanned
as closely and curiously as the leaves of
the comic papers that form the carica-
ture plants of the literary kingdom.
What valuable plant this would be
for one of our professional caricaturists
TO have growing in his conservatory!
When an order was sent to him for
speaking likeness" of some unhappy
politician, he could simply visit his JUS
ticia Picta with pencil and paper in
hand. and look over the leaves for u
suitable squint, grin, or distorted nose
to sketch from. He could, moreover,
affirm with truth that the portrait was
"taken from nature" Cuthbert Colling-
wood, the celebrated naturalist, says of
the JusticiG Pictd: ''One of these plants

A Disguised Soldier.

An Irishman serving in the United
States army in Texas and belonging to
the infantry was in the habit of stand
ing with his toes pointing inward, to
remedy which the Sergeant continually
addressed him while on parade with,
'Stick out your toes, Patrick" 1t took
Patrick years to acquire the habit of
sticking his toes out. just about the
time he had succeeded he was transfer
red to the cavalry, where his habit of
sticking out his toes interfcred much
with his usefulness as a horseman. The
Sergeant was continually calling to him:
''Stick in those toes, Patrick" much to
his disgust, and he exclaimed with some
emphasis: "Divil take such service.
For five years it was nothing but stick
out your toes, Patrick and now it's
stick in your toes, Patrick There is

Five Hundred Dollars for n Hat.

Track-walkers, railroad hands, and
town were kept in state of excitement
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
by the mysterious and persistent en-
quiries of three New York detectives
about black derby hat 1t was said to
have been lost from train, but the
trackmen were so pestered about it
that they thought it must be at least a
murder case that was being fathomed.
The hat was found in the possession of
q track-walker late on Friday. Liberal
rewards had been offered for its recov-
cry by the detectives, and when it was
passed into the hands of the leader he
plunged his hands into the leather lin
ing, and II moment brought out u
sheet of note-paper, partly written over
and ornamented at the top with a mag
nificent crest ''It's good for five hum
dred, boys, was all he said,as he hand
the lucky finder 80 and distributed an
other so among the men who had in
terested themselves in the search.
A Tribune reporter who came down
on the train yesterday with the detec-
tives gathered from their talk among
themselves that the fate of two families
hung on the recovery of that hat and
the letter inside. twas n note from a
married woman to married man. He
was coming from Tarrytown to New
York. and in stepping from one of the
cars to the smoker, while the cars were
in motion, his hat was blown.off. The
consequences of the discovery of the let
ter with its tell-tale crest induced him to
send for detective and offer $500 for
