The Resurrection Flower.

Travellers in Egypt, who profess to
have seen the genuine resurrection lower,
describe il as little ball haUgiug ON its
fragile stem, and reseus bling both ia
color and shape a shrunken poppy head.
Sleeping, but not dead, the flower j.
aroused by being for an instantimme-sed
in water, and then supported in an up
right position Soon the upper ihres
began to stir. Slowly, yet visibly, they
unfold, with petals thrown back In equi-
distant order it assumes the appearance
of a beautifully radi2ted, AIRY flower,
not unlike lme of the asters in form
Resting a moment, il suddenly, as though
ius pired by some new impulse, throw,
ITS very heart to the daylight, curyiL
back its petals further still, and disclosine
beauties undreamed of even in the lowell
uess of its first awak euing
Soon the aspect of the flower changes
As though over the weilsprirg of its enter
nal life hangs some ru h ess power fore
ing r. back into darkness, before an hour
had passed its newly found vigor Is fad
ing away. The puIsiuz Ugh at its heart
grows fainter and faiutrr-sl0wIy the
petals raisa themselves, 20 drop YEARLY
side by side upon its bosom and finally
. y
cd, 10 hangs heavy and brown upon its
stem, waiting for the touch that alone can
waken it again.
The story Of tho resurrection flower, as
given 10 1866 by the late Or. Deck, the
naturalist, is as follows:
! "While travelling on professional
tour in Upper Egypt eight years before
engaged in exploring for some lost emer.
aid aud copper mines, he CHANGED TO rem
der medical service 30 an Arab attached
to his party. Ia gratitude the child Of
the desert formally presented TO him
this now-called resurrection flower at
the same time eujoiniug him never to
part with it.. Like the tabled gift OF the
| Egyptian, it was supposed to have magic
/ in the web % it,
The Doctor was solsmuly assured by the
| Arab and others of his race that 10 had
been taken ten years before from the
breast of an Egyptian mummy, high
/ priestess and WAS deemed great variety 4;
/ that IL would never decay il properly
cared for; that its possession through
life would tend to revive hope in ad
Iyersity.
For years the doctor carried his treas
ure with him everywhere, priziug II for
Iits intrinsic qualities, aud invariably
awakening the deepes interest whenever
he CHANGED to display it's wouderCus pow

even with the present Secretary of State
in office. Loud Laughter. They had an
illustration of what was going to take
place in Novem Der hext by what had Just
taken place in Louisiana. Quiet laug hter
on the Democratic side l.
He quoted a sentence from Mr.. Voor-
hees' ape ech TO the effect that the only
wonder about the Louisiana election was
that the vote was not unanimous, and he
said that it was more than unanimous.
The Democratic Party in the south have
learned the art not only of making cleo
lions unanimous but of making them more
than unanimous. 1t had learned the art
of returning large, Democratic majority
than the registered vote He wondered
himself at its moderation in returning on
~ majority of "a, 600 in Louisiana, bu: il
had been going up since the Senator
from Indiana had spoken ard was now
50 600. What 1t would amount to before
the dog days nobody could tell He read
letters and statements from Republican
sources, detailing ac's of outrage, and
che ating, az the Louisiana election, and
declared his belief that fair returns would
have shown Yarmouth elected by a
majority of $4,000 or 81 900.
In closing Mr.. ingalls, said that in the
centuries that are 20 come he saw the
vision Of united pros porous and happy
America; a vast, homogeneous domain of
free men, rulers of the continent from
the polar zone to the Gulf, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, enjoying the
franchises Of liberty and perpetuatiug
the arts Of peace. The people should
remember, he said, on each recurring day
when Il ay celebrated, those who had died,
that this country held in its fruitful and
tender breast no more priceless treasure
than the cOnsecrated dust Of those who
had died in order that this should be
Government OF laws and not Of men; and
that liberty and constitutional Govern
ment might not perish forever from the
face of the earth.

The title OF the subject Is written on The

also entered in the index in front Of the
book. When information is wanted upon
any subject, all the scraps will be found
in one place, and can be easily removed,
consulted and replaced at pleasure.
Besides printed scraps, notes, ones
own thoughts reduced 10 writing, lee
lures or addresses can thus be filed, and
a record Of the time and place Of deliv-
cry written on the outside Of the envel-
ope Busy, practical men, literary men,
teachers or clergymen can in this way
keep their scraps of information in readi-
ness for future consultation. An in
genious student Of natural history has
perhaps an improvement upon this
method. Instead Of scrap book with
pockets or envelopes, he utilizes a row Of
pasteboard boxes made to resemble books,
upon the backs Of which the contents,

methods Of scrap keeping have been

The Rus.o-German boundary Line.

There is very strc-g contrast between
the appearance of things on the two sides
Of the boundary between Germany and
Russia. On the German side the land
scapei dotted with beautiful, coy homes,
with every evidence Of prosperity and
thrift, with well cultivated fields, vine
clad stables, neat looking kline, hedges
tastefully trimmed and patches Of flow
ers, while in the towns and villages were
handsome railway stations, tempting
cafes, large factories, handsome school,
houses, and every symbol Of a higher
civilization and prosperity. On the east
side Of the line there are none Of these,
and the change takes place instantly.
Thrift and comfort are replaced by dis
tress and degradation. The fields are un-
cultivated, except in patches here and
there-spots where ii was the easiest 10
plow-the cattle are lean and hungry,
the homes of the people are log or mud
