MONMOUTH NOTES.

The sick are very much improved.
Weather mild, but change is
visible.
Ellsworth Barzee made a business
trip to Fall City Tuesday, and re.
ports things quiet at present, but
indications for boom in the spring.
Hog killing seems to be the gener-
al business of the farmers Just now,
Judging by the loads of pork COM
ing into town, although the price
paid by packers is comparatively
low, yet it pays somebody, as is ev-
idenced by the retail price of bacon.
The F. s. d. company are closing
out their business, it is not known
what they intend dong, but very
likely will engage in business else
where. They have made many
friends while here, and will no
doubt succeed wherever they go.

A Colossal Blossom.

In the farthest southeastern island OF
the Philippine group, Mindinao, upon
one of its mountains, Parag, in the
nei%hborhood of the highest peak on the
island, the volcano Apo, a party OF
botanical and geographical explorers
found recently at the height of 2, 500
feet above the sea level, colossal
flower.
The discoverer, DIR. Alexander Scha,
denberg, could scarcely believe his
eyes when he saw, amid the lowgrow
ing bushes the immense buds of this
flower, like gigantic brown cabbage
heads. But he was still more aston
ished when he found specimen in full
bloom, n tive-petaled flower nearly
yard in diameter rs large rs carriage
wheel, in fact. This enormous blossom
was borne on sort of vine creeping
on the ground. 1t was known by the
native who accompanied DIR. Shadcn-
burg, who called it boo. The party
had no scale by which the weight OF
the flower could be asccrtaincd, but
they improviscd a swinging scale, us.
ing their boxes and specimens az
weights. Weighing these when oppor-
tunity served it was found that n sin.
gle flower weighed over twenty-five
pounds.
1t was impossible to transport the
fresh flower, so the travellers photo
graphcd it and dried a number of its
leaves by the heat Of fire. DIR. Scha,
denbcrg then sent the photographs aud
dried specimens to the Royal Botanical
gardens at Breslau, where the learned
director Immediately recognized it as
specimen of the raiilesia, plant
formerly discovered in Sumatra and
Eamcd after the English Governor, Sir
Stafford Rallies. The new flower was
accordingly named Rafilesia Schaden
bergia
The five petals of this immense flower
are oval and creamy white and grow
around center filled with countless
long violet-hucd stamens, thicker and
longer in the female, or fertile flowers,
than in the infertile. The fertilization
is accomplished by insects, whose Larvae
breed in the decaying flesh of it's thick
petals. The fertile flower develops
soft berry-iike fruit, in which countless
seeds are embedded. The flower ex-
hales a poisonous gas even when first
opened. -Erchdnde.

A COmmon-Sense Letter.

To THE EDIroR-I SEQ that newspaper
articles ore again making their appearance
calling attention to matters pertaining to
health as we'll ns to tho means whereby dis
ease may be yomoved and good health pre-
served l am thereby reminded that have
received from time to time pamphlet publ
cations issued by the well-known Arm OF II.
Fl, Warner s. Co, which dwell upon tho his
tory and growth Of kidney diseases; showing
how such Is the cause Of consumption, heart,
brain and nervous disorders, which can only
DO successfully treated by removing the prim.
airy disease from the kidneys. At the same
time caro- Is taken TO remind the reader that
Warmers Safe Cure Is tho only means where
by the physician or the individual can sue
cessfully prevent and cure this class of di
sease.
Whilst have personal cause to feel CRATE
full to Warmers Safe Cure, for the benefit
which derived from it whom suffering from
kidney troubles last spring cannot see since
that remedy is already so we'll known In every
household, why the parties interested In its
manufacture should continue to expond
money in calling attention to what the public
already knows 50 well. l am aware, Mr.
Editor, that tho members Of tho medical pro
feS'lon are seldom dispo d to give due credit
to proprietary medicines, but public conf.
dence is likely to be evcu more shaken in those
learned gentlemen since the startling disclos-
urcs III tho Robinson poisoning cases were
made in Somorvillc, Mass.
Hero il was discovered, through the efforts
of an insurance company, that eight cases OF
death from arsonical poisoning had occurred
-soven of them in ono family, and within
five years, md the other that Of relative
wherein the true cause of death had not been
even suspected by prominent physicians who
were in attendance, but who treated the cases
for other causes, and finally, when death oc-
currod, issued certificates for such causes as
pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis, etc
After such IN evidence of the utter incon-
potency of those physicians, who were re-
gardcd rs experts in their profession, l can
not conceive why it will be longer necessary
for further advertising to be done in behalf
Of Warmers Safe Cure since | deem the
Somcrvillc disclosure to be the best possible
endorsement Of the good sense manifested by
those who take matters Of health IN their own
hands and use q remedy which experience has
shown TO be fully adapted for the purposes
intended, instead of trusting themselves in OK
perimcntai hands. EXPERIENCE

The Fraudulent Will.

A lawsuit, the incidents of which
have served as basis for one or two
novels, involved the possession of q
large estate which distant relative of
the late owner claimed by virtue of u
deed of gift which he asserted had been
executed at a time when the owner was
on bad terms with his sons. There was
no will. The paper bore every mark
of being genuine; was formally exc,
cuted: the witnesses swore to their sig
natures, and experts testified their be-
lief that the signature of the dead man
was written by himself. All hope for
the heirs seemed to be over when their
counsel, suddenly raising the paper
close to his eyes, sent messenger hast
lily out of court. The claimant contin-
ned to bring in testimony in proof Of
the genuineness of the document for
an hour. His case appeared to be fully
established, when the counsel for the
defendants called grave old Quaker
to the witness-stand.

per up to the light. What is the water

listen for moment to our fast young
men. or the ape of a fast young man,
who thinks that to be man he must
speak the dark phraseologv of slang.
If he does anything on his own re-
sponsibility. he does it on his own
"hook." If he sees anything rcmarka-
bly, good, he calls it "stunner, the
superlative of which is regular stun
ner.' If man is requested to pay a
tavern bill, he is asked if he will stand
Sam" If he meets a sayage-looklng
dog, he calls him an ugly customer.
If he meets an eccentric man,
he calls him "a rummy old
cove" A sensible man is a
"chap that is up to snuff" Our young
friend never scolds, but elbows up
never pays, but "stumps up'-never
finds it difficult to pay, but is hard up
never feels fatigued, but is used up
He has no hat, but shelters his head
beneath a tile" He has no neck
cloth, but surrounds his throat with n
"choker." He lives nowhere, but there
is place where he "hangs out" He
never goes away or withdraws, but ho
"bolts," he slopes" he "mizzlcs," no
makes himself scarce" he walks his
chalks," he makes his tracks," he
cuts his stick, or, what is the same
thing, he "cuts his lucky" The high
est compliment you can pay him is to
tell him he is regular brick" He
does not profess to be brave, but he
prides himself on being "plucky."
Money is a word he has forgotten, but
he talks a great deal about tin and
"the needful," the "rhino," and "tho
ready" When a man speaks, he
"spouts;" when he holds his peace, he
shuts up" when he is Inundated, he
is taken down peg or two and
made to sing small" Now, good
deal of this slang is harmless many OF
the terms are, l think, very expressive !;
yet there is much in slang that is OBJ

Stca,ing n House.

Stealing house is an act of rather
cumbersome larceny, but this peculiar
feat in criminality has been practically
accomplished in Paris. Mime. CASTOR,
n wealthy widow, went to Nice in order
TO enjoy for while the balmy breezcs
of the South, and she accordingly
closed her suburban villa at Abort
VILE. In the meantime local tiler, or
slater. by name BossoHay, cast his eyes
on the villa, and, entering it one morn
ing with four companions, he calmly
appropriated not only its internal fur
niture and fixtures but It's doors, win.
doWs. zinc covered roof, marble man
iclplcces, walnscoting, ard chimney
pots. Nay, he even went 50 far as to
cut down four venerable chestnut trees,
which ornamcnted the villa garden,
and to cart them bodily away. The
villa was, therefore, completely dis
mantlcd, and Nine Castor, on her re-
turn from Nice, found to her stupcfac
ton that her once handsome suburban
dwelling consisted of nothing but four
bare and bleak walls Sho literally
had not roof to cover her head, and
had to put up with the accommodation
offered in an adjacent hostelry. The
skillful purloiner of detached suburban
residences has been brought to bay
nf,cr having realized n considerable
sum of money by his criminal feat. His
companions, rs we'll as the semi-rural
policeman who had calmly surveyed
the demolition, had, it appears, been
Icfoolcd by the artful Bossonay, who
showed them bit of stamped paper,
in which the owner Of the villa had APP
parcntly given him full leave and Ii
censc to play at ducks and brakes with
her property. TGr;S letter.
