Mad Tree.

The Virginia New Enterprise is re-
sponsible for the following: A gentle
man OF this place has tree which is
species of acacia. 1t was grown from
n seed brought from Australia. The
tree is now sapling some eight feet IN
height, and it is in full foliage and
growing rapidly. 1t is leguminous aud
very distinctly shows the characteristics
of the mimosa, or sensitive plant.
Regularly every evening, about the time
the "chickens go to roost, the tree goes
to roost. The leaves fold together, and
the ends of the tender twigs coil them
selves up like the tail of a well-condi-
toned pig. After one of the twigs has
been stroked or handled, the leaves move
nneasily and in a sort of mild commo-
ton for minute or more. All this was
known about the tree, but it was only
lately that it was discovered that the
tree had in it much more life and feel
lug than it had ever before been credit
ed with. The tree being in quite small
pot, one which it was fast outgrowing.
it was thought best to give it one of
much larger size. The tree was trans
I ferred to its new quarters. IL resented
the operation of its removal to the best
Of its ability.
Arriving at his residence about the
/ time the iree had been transplanted, the
gentleman found the house in a grand
commotion. On asking what was up,
I he was told that they had transplanted
the tree according to orders and the
operation had "made it very mad.
/ Hardly had it been placed in its new
quarters before the leaves began to
stand mp in all direction like the hair on
the tail of an angry cat, and soon the
whole plant was in a culver. This
could have been endured, but at the
same time it gave out an odor most pun
gent and sicksning-iusts such a smell as
4 is given off BY rattlesnakes and many
other kinds Of snakes in summer when
leased. This odor so filed the house
and was so sickening that 1t was found
necessary to open the doors and windows.
1t was fully an hour before the plant
calmed down and folded its leaves in
peace. II would probably not have given

THE SNOW FLOWERS.

When birds to sunlands southwark wing,
And chilly winds begin to blow,
The babies that we're born in spring
Think all delights are ended SO.
But Jack Frost laughs aloud, Ho, mol
There's joy ahead they little know.
They have not seen the snow!
Then he begins to call his sprites
From the bleak, traekless north afar,
Where each one in the frozen nights
Has made from ice a crystal star
And Jack Frost laughs in glee, Ha, hai
These shine like bits OF glittering spar.
What flowers fairer are?"
Ard from the clouds he rains them down
Upon the cheerless earth below
So thick they cover field and town,
So fair the brooks forget TO flow.
And Jack Frost laughs, well pleased, "Ho, no
Could summer whittier blossoms shown
What think you Of my snow?"
-.Ardo Bates, in 81. Nicholas.

Progressive COrean Bellies.

DIR. Alien, the American Secretary of

Ye Wan Yong, very high dignitary in
the Corean Empire and formerly Secre-
tary of Legation at Washington, now
engaged in a special mission, and 1e
Cha Yum, Secretary of Legation, reached
the National Capital accompanied BY
their wives. The Corean woman is kept
as religorsly secluded from the profane
eyes of the male portion of creation as
the inmates of Turkish harem. Like
her Oriental sister, whenever she goes
out she is closely yelled, aud as an extra
precautiOD, the Corean woman never
takes her airing till evening. when the
gates OF the city are c'osed and all men,
who lay any pretension to being con-
sidnred respectable are expected to be
