The Laughing Plant.

Palgave, in his work on Central and
Eastern Arabia, mentions plant whose
seeds produce effects analogous to those
OF laughing gas. The plant is n native
of Arabia. A dwarf variety is found at
kasum, and another variety at Oman,
which attains height of from three to
four feet, with woody stems, wide
spreading branches, and light green
foliage. The flowers are produced in
clusters and are yellow in color. The
seed pods contain two or three black
seeds of the size and shape of French
bean. Their flavor is a little like that of
opium, the taste is sweet, and the odor
from them produces a sickening senSa-
ton and is slightly offensive. These
seeds, when pulverized and taken in
small doses, operate upon person in
very peculiar manner. He begins to
laugh loudly and boisterously, and then
sings, dances, and cuts up all kinds of
fantastic capers. The effect continues
about an hour, and the patient is ex-
tremely comical When the excitement
ceases, the exhausted individual falls
into deep sleep, which continues for
an hour or more, and, when he awakens.
he is utterly unconscious that any such
demonstration have been made by him.

a FLORISTS odd customer.

s'Did you ever have a decidedly ode
customer ?" asked "A New York Sun re
porter of an uptown florist.
Eyes, said the florist.
ssWho WAS hes"
"A dead man. II was post morten
orderl"
'lAnd what did dead man want Of
fioWerg."
''He wanted them for his funeral I"
"WeIl, I've heard good deal of live
business men, but this is the first time
/ ever heard OF dead customer"
Il shall explain it TO you. There
lived, three blocks from here, in tene.
ment house district, a cynical old geu-
tleman who spent his time with his
books and his thoughts, and was a stran-
ger TO everybody. He was a disciple OF
Schopenhauer, and might have been re-
garded as harsh critic from another
planet who had been shipwrecked ON
this little one-horse island IN space and
was very sorry for it. The only CLEAN
of sunshine IN his life WAS that he hadn I
lxinsman, n friend or an acquaintance
in the world.
zone day, when he was very old, he
was sick unto death. To divert himself
during the tedium of dying he contrived
post norton Joke. He had $500,
which he did not wish to leave to any
body. Though he was a stranger in the
world. the idea came to him that he
would spend the money in having the
same kind of funeral that other people
had. He sent for business agent, un.
folded his plans for the funeral, and then
died with half-cynical, half-amused
smile on his face.
srhe agent ordered the coffin, engaged
the carriages, hired the pail bearers, gave
the minister a few points for short
eulogy, and then came to my store and
bought the flowers.
There wasn't a momner in the little
church where the last services were held.
There wasn't a person in the church
whom the dead man had ever known.
There wasn't person in the city who
WASH stranger to him. But the coffin
stood under the pulpit covered with an
chors, broken columns, pillows, doves,
and broken lutcs, bearing such notices
as 'Good-by, old Comrade, AT Rest,
Farewell, Friend, Still Remembered,
etc. They were all flowers which the
dead man had bought. Imagine there
must have been sneer under that coffin
lid. Ibelieve there were six hired pail
bearers.
They put the odd old gentleman and
his flowers into the hearse and carried
him 10 his resting-place. The carriages

tears were shed at the grave, the pail

THERE is diagram in Mr. Gallons
book on Hereditary Genius, which is
intended to illustrate the extraordinari-
ness of great men, and which is very in-
structive to carry about in ones mind.
Human beings are represented by col
umn of scattered dots. In the middle
of the column the dots are very thick,
to represent the immense number of
average men; further mp they grow
thinner and thinner, until near the top
a very few, and finally one, serve 10 rep
resent the greatest, who stand nearly, or
quite solitary and alone. Below the
average there is corresponding gradual
thinning out, until one reaches the very
small number of the most degraded
idiots. But this diagram may serve to
illustrate not only the distribution of
greatness, but also the degree of admit
ration with which greatness ought to be
regarded. In other words, the estima-
ton in which we hold n great man, if
we We're disposed TO scientific accuracy,
ought to be apportioned to his degree of
raritV

A Philanthropist's Eccentricities.

For years and years Isaiah Williamson
was shaved in Blanks barber shop, on
Elbow Lane. Barber Blank. in speak
ing Of his millionaire customer, said to
Philadelphia Times reporter:
He was generally the last customer OF
the day TO come in, and no matter how
hot the day might be he would insist ON
having all the doors and windows shut
tight. | believe he would have even
stopped up the keyhole, 50 great was his
dislike and fear of draft. Entering
the shop he would nod, and then slowly
divest himself of his coat and vest, col
lar and necktie, and hang them ON a
peg. He required no assistance in this.
He was exceedingly neglectful in his
personal appearance, He wore an old
fashioned stock until it became greasy
and tattercd. l believe he would cling
to a necktie for year. His collar /
would he ashamed to wear. While be-
ing shaved Mr.. Williamson never talked
nor did he encourage it in his barber.
HE was never guilty, during the
eight years that he patronized my shop,
of hair cut His niece, he told me,
always cut his hair / was always sure
of my ten cents for my shave, but no
more. And he never remembered me at
Christmas, but l suppose he never
thought of il. One evening about o.
clock he came into the shop, and was
more feeble than usual. l had to hang
his coat and vest mp for him. As l
placed the vest on the peg saw a fiat
wad of greenbacks sticking out of the
upper pocket, and there staring me in
the face was a 1000 bill. He must
have had very large sum of mony on
him that day. When he left and went
into Elbow lane it was quite dark, and /
thought how easy it would have been for
even a boy to have robbed him then.
About noon ii was Mr.. Williamson s
custom to go to saloon and call for
glass of beer. He would get near the
free lunch counter and eat a good many
crackers and some cheese. He never
drank up the heer, and it was the sup
position that he frequented the saloon
for the lunch he got. After his cracker
and cheese dinner he would frequently
go back to his office and fill out check
for some charity. When he became so
feeble that he was obliged to set up a
carriage he ceased drinking beer and
took to spirits, always sending his
coachman into the saloon for punch

THE ATTIC.

The attic holds such lots Of things
Ny extra marbles, balls and strings,
warming pan behind the door,
And beans spread out upon the foor,
With ears of corn hung on the wall,
That shall reach when am tall.
And it all smells so queer and good,
Like some piece OF rare foreign wood.
Then on the nails some clothes are hung
A cloak had when was young,
Grandfather's vest and tall white hat,
A thing often wonder at.
And further past the shoes and boots
Regular clothes and all in suits.
I've never known why they hang there,
Why we don't take them down TO wear
When it is dark by haif-past five,
They almost seem to look alive;
And then I'm glad to help get tea
And not wait till they call for me.
There in that corner all alone
Are lltl dIt WI Ohh
A kniie-the haft without the blade
An arrow that one day made,
And something that's my special Joy
Far more than any other toy.
0fwhich never can get tired,
A Roman candle that's been fired.
There are some things that may amuse:
The cradle that used to use;
The rattle would shake and bite
And pound about with all my might;
A pair of snow shoes that might break,
Such as they say the Indians make.
And there's a cruteh, the very same
Some general had when he was lame;
I've named it John, and take it out
And hobble with it all about
But in beyond my large Noah's Ark,
Past the big chimney, where it's dark,
never like to go alone,
And what's in there I've never known.
Once. so that | should understand,
Ny brother took me by the hand
And in went, prepared to see
Whatever might appear TO me.
But could hardly see at all,
And bumped my head against the wall.
The things that ought to have been found
Kept themselves out Of sight and sound:
And back we came again; and so
What's there even now do not know

Curious Insect Life.

sented by Lord Walsingham, and ex-
hibited in the insect house. Is one Of the
last years interesting additions to the
London Zoo. They are accomplished
lace makers, and the case Is being grad
ually filed with webs of the most deli
cate textures. The spiders are small
and dark, and they are a colony of be-
tween two hundred and three hundred.
They eat a couple of the large-sized
cockroaches per dav, and when one is
thrown IN an army OF perhaps one hun
and fifty spiders, rush to the attack with
all the ferocity Of a pack Of wolves. The
webs are SO interiaced that no other in
sect can move far in the case without
being hopelessly entangied. but the
spiders themselves in their most despe-
rate rushes never touch the delicate lila
ments.

The earliest act of Secretary of War
Proctor that possesses much public
interest is his decision 10 abolish the
Sunday morning inspection and evening
dress parade. The latter is ceremony
habitually omitted at the discretion Of
commanding officers in campaigning or
at other times not convenient or desiIa-
bic for holding it. This is now TO be
dropped altogether, while the weekly
inspection, which is of importance, is
TO be held hereafter on Saturday morn
ing, leaving the afternoon Of that day q
time OF leisure for athletic games and
other relaxations. This innovation will
cause some conservative old officers to
shake their heads ominously, but the
Sunday morning freedom from work is
a return to a practice that prevailed
only about half century ago, while the
Sunday dress parade is now omitted in
some departments. The troops will
welcome the change.
