In the Washington Botanical Garden.

Washington Star: ~ want to call
your attention TO the unlicensed barr
rooms you will notice in this house,
said Mr.. Smith, as he entered another
house near by.
Here flowers resembling small red
bananas could be seen. They were hol-
low and open at the top, and contained
a liquid. These were the unlicensed
barrooms.
Breaking one off and opening it, it
was filled with small red ants.
"They come and drink the liquor"
said Mr.. Smith, got drunk and die
happy"
Here is the cockroach barroom,' he
continued, land here the spiders. An
ant will not drink any of the roach or
spider liquor. and vice versa"
Near the door a beautiful plant with
creamy white leaves was labeled ''eon-
sumption plant"
whence the name?' asked the re-
porter; sis the plant ~diseasedp"
Yes, it really has the consumption"
was the reply, land where these leaves
are tinted a creamy white they are dis
eased lungs. You know that n plant
breathes through it's leaves. This plant
is propagated for its BEAUTY"
The hy-trap iower-in u large pot
near by hundreds of tiny thick leaves
resembling semi-circular jaws provided
with small, sharp teeth, attracted the
reporters attention.
"That's the well-known Hy-trap
flower" said Mr.. Smith, by way of ex-
PLANTATION.
While he was speaking a butterfly
alighted in one. Quicker than thought
the jaws closed, and the butterfly was a
prisoner.
"How long will that butterfly remain
a prisoner" asked the reporter.
Two or three days. BY that time
flower will have derived all the benefit
and good the fly possesses, and it's jaws
will open and the fly be cast out. 1t is
my belief that the flower obtains sus-
taneance from the prisoner it takes.
Sometimes it gets hold Of the wrong
kind of food, however, and It gets dys-
pepsia. This conclusion is reached
from the effect of the food on the leaves.
Now this cell caught the head of a blue
bottle fly a couple of days ago, and got
the dyspepsia, as you can see by its
color"
The reporter looked aud saw a sickly
combination of green and yellow mark
ings on the leaves, and the dead fly still
between them.

THE COW has become the symbol of
politics. The nomination of James II.
Hoard, the great dairy king Of Wiscon-
sin, for the governorship of that state,
makes the COW, and a Jersey M atthat,
the badge of the Badgers this fall.

study and wrote q kind letter. TO the
duke OF Wellington, remembering that
persons who are mentally afflicted must
be dealt with %teuderly. He thanked
his grace for his kindness. but assured
him, rs dclicately rs he could, that he
was not in the least anxious to inspect
the historical relics in question, and
begged that the duke would give him
self no further trouble in the matter MS
far Us he the bishop of Londonl was
concerned. II was now the dukes turn
to be astonished. II can't have been
dreaming he said, in his perplexity.
And yet the bishops first letter was
plain e%uOugh.' Then he did what he
ought to have done in tho first instance
he called his secretary, Colonel b.,
and laid the whole matter before him.
I'm afraid 1T is your grace that has
made the mistake" said Colonel b., an
irrepressible smile fitting over his face
as he examined the two letters. 1.-THE
first letter is not from the bishop of
London at ell; nor does the writor say
anything about the brooches you wore
at Waterloo mot from the bishopl"
exclaimed the duke. Yes it is. Tho
signature IS rs clear rs can be-'C. j.,
