The Rarcst Plant in Mexico

In the botanical garden at the palace
they have the celebrated flower Tzapa,
lilqui-Xochitl, of the Azteca The story
runs that there are only three Of the
kind in the world, one at the palace,
another at a different point in Mexico
and the mother plant on the mountain.
At one time two tribes had long and
bloody war for the possession of it, so
the story goes, but with great deal moro
exaggeration. The plant is commonly
called the slower hand" as they claim
that inside Is a perfect baby hand,
went to see it and was much disap-
pointed. The tree grows to a good
height. The leaves, heart-shape, are
thick and about the color Of the under
part of q silver maple leaf, except that
they are very rough, which prevents
them from glistening like the maple.
The thick wax-like, bell-shaped red
blossoms grows mouth upward, and in
side Is the sO-called hand. 1t has five
fingers and one thumb, but looks exactly
like BIRDS claw, not like hand. Tho
story ran that there are but three in ex-
istence. Without doubt the plant is
rare and there may be no more than a
dozen, if that many, in the worldi but !
have seen in the gardep Of two different
gentlemen the very same tree. One OF
these gentlemen is in Europe, and
the other bought his plant from him, SO
there was no way of learning where the
three came from

THE PARIS BEGGAR's GUIDE.
An Interesting Document Compiled
for the Benefit OF Mendicants.

During recent discussion raised by
NJ. Georges Berry in the municipal
council about the terrible state of men
dicity prevailing at present in the capi-
tai, says Paris correspondent, it ap-
pears that the beggars also had their
inquiry office, and that an amateur sta
tistician had compiled full and detailed
lists of the various charitably inclined
persons In Paris, with their weak points
Tor the SolicItants to work upon, their
private means, their usual hours of
being at home, etc. Each arrondiSse-
lnent is classified apart; single sched-
ule costs 2 francs, and the twenty
schedules bound together cost ~ francs.

that If every StatiStician did his work so
conScientiOuSly and cleverly as this
amateur, statistics Yould really become
not only the most instructive but the
most diyerting literature in the world.
Unfortunately, l have no space to go
into particulars, but 1 may safely state
that the wants Of every member of the
begging fraternity have been carefully
considered. One or two sampleS must
suffice. | transcrihe literally.

the amateur statistician has done his
work thoroughly, though ho had mod
eStly omitted 10 write-the catalogue is

title page. To me there Is no doubt
that this gentleman began collecting his
facts in mere fun just as tho amateur
picture buyer begins purchasing for the
love OF art and ends by becoming Il
speculator for the love of money. Re-
duced circumstances, the wish TO make
i fortune, half dozen different rea-
sons, may induce him to take up Sc
riously what he began as a Joke.

Deceit Of Women,

"Good morning." wheezed an old
lady, coming into the editors room al
the head of the step elevator, good
morning. Amt you the editor?"
"Yes, madam, ".the man at the desk
responded, as he threw q chew of to-
bacco down a knOt-hole In the floor
and slipped his suspenders up on his
shoulders. Scan l do anything fol
you today"
"Well, not very much. / heard
something aboutyou, and as had been
reading your paper came to see for my
self If it were true"
"Ah, indeed What was It? Moth
ing bad, 1 hope"
ssNot so bad, and not so very good
either. They only told me you were
Just like Ananias. You know who he
was. don't you?"
mot exactly, madam, though have
seen some reference to him during the
recent campaign"
81 didn't think you knew him. He
was Bible character, who was struck
dead for being liar.''
'.Great Caesar, madam" exclaimed
the editor, with start that knocked
his pastepot over and sent his scissors
rafting to the floor, 81 hope you don t
think now, after you have read my
paper and met me, that l am like this
man Ananias?"
"No, SIR" the old lady replied, get
ting up to so. IL notice them 10 a
difference.
"Ah, thanks, madam You flatter me;
you"
''Don't mention it, sir; the difference
1 detect In you is that you are still
alive"
The door closed ON the old lady. and
the editor iabhed his pen into his upset
nasteEot and began to write an article
on the cruelty and deceit of women.

"Scrap- Carts In Fashionable London.

Baroness Burdett-COurts has been
carrying out the suggestion OF cooking
savOry dishes for the poor in Westmin-
ster, and the results are most encOur-
aging. Large supplies of scraps are
sent in, which are carefully cooked and
prepared into soup, stews, pies and
puddings, and these are sold at III. a
dish to poor women, who gladly avill
themselves of the opportunity of pro-
curing a good meal ut such price.
The girls at the Guards Industrial
Home have been called TO assist IL this
good work, and for some time prepared
the meals in their owa kitchen, but the

suitable premises have been secured.

ley started a Mayfair scrap cart, and
lras organized her plan SO systematically
that large quantities OF really dainty

Under the auspices OF Lady Sudeley, a
similar collecting cart will go about

Extensive Plumbing in his Turkey.

Purchasers of food In some of tn,
markets are not always sure of wha
they obtain. A tall man of middle ag,
went up to 4 market stall some time
since aud began to examine the display
Of turkeys and chickens.
''Did you wish large or small bird
sir" said the proprietor persuasively
waving his hand toward an extensive
army OF turkeys of all sizes,
"Well, you see, said the buyer, con-
fideItially, II thought I'd give 'em a
good solid dinner at home, and the
family's pretty large, so l need a good
deal"
That's right" said the dealer ge-
ni,lly, I'VE have fine line of young
holiday gobblers. Here is a beautiful
hir,t," he added, taking down large
turkey. weighs twenty pounds with
out trimming; nothing better, large,
delicious and economical"
After some bargaining and proof of
the weight, the head of the large family
made the purchase and departed with Il
light heart and heavy TURKEY.
The next morning as the dealer in
fowls was counting his gains his Gus
toner appeared wearing 4 rather sour
expression, and laying two-pound
section of lead pipe on the counter he
said deliberately. "When buy "a turkey

how you explain that pipe which my
wife found il the turkey YOU sold me

"Iou say you found this in the tur-
keyY" inquired the dealer examining
the lead with great apparent interest.
well, it's really remarkable what Il
healthy turkey will eat, but my dear
sir, you can't expect me to know just
what Connecticut farmers fatten their
poultry on, can you2"
''Oh, you can't fool Ine like that" ."
said tie angry purchaser Of lead pipe.
You stuffed that pipe into the turkey
TO make it heavy, and you're fraud!"
''See here, my friend, :" said the dealer
imprcssiyely, leaning over his counter,

Martin Luthcr's Home at Mansfield

Luther's boyish home at Mansfield,
in Saxony, has just been restored as far
as possible to its original condition when
the Reformer's parents dwelt there four

IN MEssIAa's TEMPLE.
Bishop Paterson Rejects the Doctrine of
the Trinity-IIIs Idea of spiriluaIism.


"What Believe and What do not Be

Nv Bishop Paterson, of the Children of

apprecialive audience, Yesterday morning.
For his text he selected Proverbs xiv, ID
