ONE of the most curously original
collections of my books in any library
is said to be botanical collection at
Warsenstein, in Germany. At first
sight the volumes appear ike rough
blocks of wood, but on clear examin-
alton it is found that each is com
plete history of the particular tree
which it represents. AT the back Of
the tree the bark has been removed
from a space large enough to admit
the SC entifc and the common name
of the tree as a title One side is
formed of the split wood OF the tree,
showing ITS grain and natural frac-
ture: the other shows the wood when
worked smoth and vanished. One
end shows the grain as left by the saw
and the other the finely polished wood.
On opening the book one finds the
fruits, seeds, leaves and other products
Of the tree, the moss which usually
grows upon its trunk and the insects
which feed upon the various parts Of
the tree. To all this is added well
printed description Of The habits, usual
location and manner Of growth Of the
tree.

Special Dispatch TO the Globe Democrat.
LAWRENCE, Kan, July 29.-The Wich-
ita piscatorial society passed through this
city today en-route to the great lakes on
their annual hunting and fishing excursion.
There were forty ladies and gentlemen
in the party. In their manifesto, which is
freely and gratuitously distributed they
proclaim that the Grand Sachem Of the
Wichitas at the last camp meeting decreed
that the annual fish dance Of the Wichita
Piscatorial society should be held
in the land Of the Minnesotas,
amid the waters of Minnehaha
in the light of the eighth moon. As the
corn in Kansas is ripening the great medi-
cine man having been in darkness for seven
days and nights without bread or iire-water,
ordered the society to fold their wigwams,
sound their kaZOO and move from the city
Of Wichita over the Santa Fe and Chicago.
