Smallest Plant in the World.

The smallest towering plant in exist.
ence is Wolfia microscopes, q native OF
India. It belongs to the natural order
Lemnacee, or the duck weed family. It
is almost microscopic IN size, destitute Of
proper stem, leaves and roots, but having
these organs merged in one, forming a
frond. There is, however, a prolongation
Of the lower surface into a kind Of rhizoid,
the purpose of which seems to be to en-
able the plant to float upright In the
water. The fronds multiply asexually by
sending out other fronds from q basilar
slit or concavity, and with such rapidity
does this take place that q few days often
suffces to produce from few individuals
enough similar ones to cover many square
rods of pond surface with the minute
green granules. ......
But small as these plants are, and SIM
pie In their structure, they yet produce
flowers. Two flowers are produced on q
plant, each of them very simple, one con-
sisting of a single stamen and the other
of single pistil, both Of which burst
through the upper surface Of the frond.
There are two species of this genus grow
ing In the eastern United States, one Of
them Wolfia Columbiana, about one
twenty-fifth of an inch in diameter, and
the other, w. Brasiliensis, somewhat
smaller in size. The American species has
been collected near Philadelpbia.-Boston

F. The Northwestern Lumberman is
excellent authority upon the price,
quantity and quality of the various
kinds of lumber in the markets etc.
but don't amount to much upon other
subjects. Here il one of the items
which prompt this conclusion:
~ would prefer being almost any
thing to being farmer. He has to
take chances on the weather, guess
whether every other farmer will put
In the same crops he does, and every
body has dig at him. When he
sells his crops he has to look out that
he don't get beat on the price, and
everybody who sells him anything
wants to get big money out OF him.
It is drought, too much rain, cyclones
hail storms, bugs, worms, poor seed,
or something similar all the time,
and the farmer never knows whether
he owns cent or not. Besides, he's
always in debt, and the storekeepers
cuss him because he is such Internal
ly slow pay. Yes; it must be fun to
be . farmer. But, after all, the
farmers are everlasting1y overestimat-
ing their universities, and things never
turn out half as bad as their prognosti
cations. The farmer is the arch
grumbler, and when he hasn't got
enough trouble to make him feel at
home, he borrows supply from his
neighbors, and it is the one thing he
always manages to pay back"

Patrons OF the London '.Ta11yman."
The "tal1yman" plays no inconsiderable
part in the disasters of the poor, especially
in the little household where the wife is
vain OF thriftless. The tallyman or travel
ing draper Is, as most Of my readers are
probably aware, q superior kind of haWker
or an inferior kind of commercial traveller
whichever you like, In purchasing and
selling it was at one time customary for
traders to have two sticks and to mark
with notch on each the number Of goods
delivered. These tallies (from the French
word taller, to cut) were the means by
which accounts were kept. The tally
shop is shop at which goods are sold
to customers on account, the account
being kept in corresponding books One is
called the tally" and is kept by the buyer;
the other side is the counter tally,
and is kept by the seller. Sometimes a
card is given to the customer instead of q
book. The tallyman calls with his goods,
his fnery and his household stuffs, and
displays his tempting wares to the eyes
of the housewife.
Unfortunately, many poor mems wives
don't want much pressing. They see the
fnery; there is only small sum to be
paid down, and it will be SO easy to pay
the rest by small installment every
week. Many a good, honest workman
dates the day of his downfall to the tai
lymans first stroke of business with his
wife. The tallyman will be paid, and to
pay him the wife will sometimes pawn
her children's things and descend to
lodges which are the beginning Of bad
times. The great desire of most Of the
tallyman's lady customers is to keep the
fact that they are in debt from the hus-
bands knowledge, and a threat to tell the
husband or to apply to him for the money
is very powerful weapon in the tally.

Diamond Mining In South AFRICA.

The diamonds ferrous soil In quarried out
below by Kafrs and deposited In great
iron buckets which run on standing wire
ropes. and are hauled up by steam to the
receiving boxes on the brink Of the mine.
Everywhere Is activity and hustle, and q
loud hum comes up out OF the vast hole
from 1900 to 4, 600 human beings engaged
ct work below. The men themselves look
like 30 many flies as they dig away at the
blue son, and the thousands Of wire ropes
extending from every claim to the de-
posting boxes round the edge have the
Appearance Of huge spiders web, while
the buckets perpetuslly descending empty
and ascending full might well represent
the giant spiders.
Every thirteen or fourteen Kafrs Of
work In the mine have q white overseer,
to prevent as much as possible that
wholesale robbery which goes on among
them. One would think they would find
II rather hard to steal, and still more
difficult to conceal diamond on their
naked persons under the eye Of the over
sesr; but, despite all precautions, they do
steal vast number Of stones, picking
them up and carrying them away In their
mouths or between their toes. The
largest diamonds are usually unearthed
IN the mines before the stun is washed,
and an oserseer must keep his eyes well
open, for he cannot be sure OF the honesty

A victim of over indulgence.

Lady Chatham's dog suffered from over
feeding, and became SO violently Ill that
its life was In danger. She sought ear
nestly for doctor for her fayorite, and
at length heard that the blacksmith OF
the village had said he could cure it. The
smith was sent for, and undertook to cure
the pet If he could be allowed to keep it
for three weeks.
My lady pleaded that she might be per-
mitted to visit her favorite two or three
times a week, but this was steadily re-
fused, and the man was at length allowed
to depart with the patient.
For the next three weeks much amuse-
ment was afforded In the smithy by the
sight of Lady Chatham's fat poodle tied
under the bellows in such position that
it painted with the exertion of getting up
whenever the bellows was used. The
smiths boy also drove the creature round
the orchard three times day, tied with q
string. This reduced the fat of the PAM
pered animal, while q simple diet of bread
and milk restored the tone of its digestive
organs At the end of three weeks the
smith returned the dog fully recruited,
and received handsome reward. Rev.

he Was Not delicate.

A thin, delicate looking woman sat in a
horse car one evening recently, and next
her sat native of the queens realm. The
window behind the Briton was open, and
the cool wind blew in on the woman, maxi
ing her shiver. At last she said in lady
like way, "Won't you be kind enough to
close the window behind you, as it makes
me very coldf" It would hardly have
caused the man any Inconvenience to
grant this request, but he replied harshly,
81 prefer it open; you Americans can't
stand anything; you all seem to have con-
sumption" The other passengers In the
car were astounded at his incivility, and
there were many angry glances cast at the
royal subject.
Finally a gentleman rose on the oppo-
site side Of the car, and, approaching the
Englishman, with about 220 pounds avoir-
dupois, leaned over him, and, grasping the
window, slammed it down. with vigor;
then he remarked: CHOW, my friend, II
you think all Americans are afflicted with
consumption you just raise that window
again. I am an American" The little
woman blushed, the other passengers
smiled, the American returned to his seat,
and the Briton looked out of the window
