The Story of . Young Mans Marrow
Escape from Rsdfcuie.
Here Is a case of absent mindedness
which caused the victim good deal Of
embarrassment, although, as he after

might have Jared worse than he did. Nc
Whahagen was to attend theatre party
one evening, and went home rather early
to dress. He ascended the steps of the
house where he was to join his friends
only about half an hour before the time
set for starting for the theatre When
the maid: opened the door he stepped in
and unbuttoning his overcoat threw IL
back. She looked at MIN in peculiar
way. as II trying TO hide smile.
NcWhahagen happened TO look down
at his shoes, and then said hurriediy TO
the maid:-
"On. you needn't announce me yet, and
don't say anything about this; that's q
He hurried out again and rushed for q
cab.
"Drive as rapidly as you can." he said
breathlessly.
He startled his family by busting into
the house like tempest.

mother, ''you will be late, won't you;'
"What's the matter" cried Nc
Whahagan Look at meF' and he
threw off his overcoat. He was in even
ing dress-that is, he supposed that he
was. But when dressing he had put on.
In fit of nt-mindedness, a pair OF
light checked trousers. The combination
of evening dress as reg irds coat and
waistcoat and immaculate shirt front and
light colored trousers was SO ludicrous
that his brother simply roared with
laughter. VIII, however, had torn up
stairs to dress himself properly. He was

He was little late, but very contented
to escape so lightly.

ELEPHANTS FOOD.

The Mimosa's Juicy Roots Are Their
Daintiest MorseI
One favorite food of the African ele-
phaut is the tender, juicy roots of the
mimosa tree, which grows in scattered
groups through most OF the meadows and
lowlands of central Africa
When an elephant finds young tree
of this sort, it Is not difficult. as rule,
for him to get at the roots, especially if
the surrounding soil Is moist and loose,
as is often the case after il has been
soaked by the heavy rainfalls or the
tropics.
II the tree is loose, the elephant. know
ing his strength, winds his trunk firmly
round the tree and plucks it from the
earth, feat which is no harder for him
than the pulling up OF flower is for a
child.
But the elephant does not stop here; ex-
perience has taught him the most COM
Portable way of enjoying his prize, so,
without relaxing his hold. he turns the
tree completely over, ana stands 1t with
its upper branches thrust down into the
place where the roots were. Then the
earthly roots, now replacing the branches,
remain within easy reach OF the strong
and deft trunk.
African travellers tell US of great tracts
of country almost covered with these in
verted trees. Seeing the dry trees turned
upside down one would be more likely TO
think a wood had been reversed by mis-
chievous fairies than TO suppose hungry
elephants had been feeding there.
Sometimes an elephant will find tree
which defies his great efforts, and abso-
Iutely refuses to be upro0ted. But the
elephant does not give it up. Not at all.
He either brings another elephant to help
him-a thing they often do when the work
is too much for one-or. If he cannot find a
friend he sets his own wits to work. He
makes use of his tusks as levers, thrust ting
them, as II they were crowbars. deep I'M

and steadily until the tree Is loosened;
and then with a great wrench he com.

NEWARK. Nov. 20. 1s9O.-Miss Mary
Brown today caused the arrest of Mrs
Mary Alderman on charge of throwing
a quantity OF vitriol on her Tuesday
night. Miss Brown threw her hands up
TO save her eyes, but her hands and face
are terribly burned and she is disfigured
for life. The assault was provoked by
Mrs. Alderman finding her husband
them several nights, and satisfied herself
that they We're improperly intimate.
Alderman accompanied Miss Brown
when she made the complaint against his
wife. Mrs. Alderman denies throwing
yitriol, but says she threw a tin pail and
a quantity of beer over them. She is
locked up to await a hearing. Both
women are good looking, but Alderman
makes no concealment of his preference
for the Brown woman.

COL. POLk'S MISTAKE.

The Clinton Caucasian, which !:
the official organ of the Farmers Al,
lance of Sampson county, and whose
editor Mr.. Marion Butler their can
didatc) has just been elected TO the
State Senate, says this of the attack
made on Senator Vance by the Pro-
grcssiUe Farmer:
The Py0grtssi0c Farmer is making
n mistake, a mistake that puts mem
berS of the Alliance all over the State
in false light; but it is a mistake
that will damage no one as much as
the paper itself. The paper has done
4 great deal of good in North Caro-
lima it walked up the people and put
them to thinking, but that is all any
paper can do, for the people think for
themselves. The people, and Alliance
people at that, have thought the Vance
matter over and have rendered their
verdict, verdict decided by Alliance
votes. That verdict is, that there is
not a man in North Carolina who is
better able or who will defend the
peoples rights and advocate their
cause more zcalously and honestly in
the Senate of the United States than
L. b. Vance. In the Democratic eau
Gus of the next Legislature he will be
nominated on the first ballot if not by
reclamation. If he should fail to do
this, then the people will condemn
him with the same strength with which
they have lo:cd and trusted him.

Lines suggested by an article in Har-
per's Magazine. from the pen Of Mr.. Charles
Dudley Warner-"The.. Rose versus the
Most gorgeously beautiful flower,
Art thou FASHIONS pet Of only an hour,
Hast thou usurped the Floral Throne.
And with beauty won and made 1t thine
own?
Or did Nature intend thee for her Queen,
When she clothed thee in thy royal sheen :?
Thou nairrorer of Natures every hue
Rejecting the rainbow through prisms OF
dew,
Coouettinc with sunbeams everywhere,
The shade Of a sigh over here, over there
The soft. sweet smile of the setting sun,
Happy and bright that his days work Is
done.
Yes, stealing the rays of the sunset bright
TO add to thy petals that lustgous high
light.
Snowfakes are mirrored on those leaves SO
fair,
Examine the dark blooms and night shades
are there.
And yonder are heaps Of the miser's old
gold
The cause of unrest, the price of soul
Coaxing moonbeams to dance on thy petals
bright
And scatter bubbles of silvery light,
Next mimicking the gaudy butterfly,
Then catching Zig-Zag lightning from on
high.
How you mimic and blush and dance with
glee,
Finding fresh colors no other flowers see.
Gathering sparks from the meteor bright,
As it flies through the air on wings of light;
Watching the stars in the moOn-lit sky
Catching sly twinklings, when nobody's
nigh;
And wOoing the SUI from the throne above,
Till thy cheeks are painted with kisses OF
love.
Royalty beautiful in purple and gold
And thy thousand hueS undreamt--untoid,
Gorgeous as Cleopatra in her best days,
The Sun crowns thee Nth has dazzling gdse,
And I'll the flowers to the back ground go,
For thou art the Queen Of flowers they
know.
Instead of the detestable "analine dyes"
Thy hues were borrowed from the radiant
skies.
Like the matchless tear, that priceless
pearl,
Magic wand with which woman rules the
world;
Man may take the poetry out of each,
But thy innate poaoer is beyond has reach.
Ger the flowers thou'lt continue to reign
Till beauty grows worthless--and valor's
in vain
And the Rose--(Sappho's Queen)--will
disappear,
When, crowned with sunbeams, thou draw
est near.
Thou art the .tairest in Natures bowers,
And the whole world halls thee, Queen Of
Flowers

Especial Correspondence Of the Gold Leaf. /
New YORK, s.Nov. II, 1890.
The experiments Of Prof. Robert
Koch, of Berlin, upon a cure for con-
sumption, are creating more interest on
this side of the water than any other
thing in the medical line since the
"eliXer of life" excitement of last year.
This time, owing to the emnence
and conservatism of Prof Koch, the
prospect of success is much more PROM
ising than is usual, and we may reason
ably hope that a cure has at last
been discovered for this most
dreaded disease. The particulars of
the new process are so far known only
to Prof. Koch and his principal assist
ant. 1t is understood to consist in the
main of an injection, under the skin. of
lymph, the precise constituents Of
which are not publicly known. Prom
inent physicians say that sufficient data
are not yet at hand from which to draw
definite conclusion as to the merits
of the cure, but concede Prof. Koch S
claims to respectful attention. He
has not yet made any claim to n con-
elusive result, though it is said he has
cured two cases of slight consumption.
The German Kaiser has taken deep
interest in the experiments and the
Government has furnished the profess
Sor with a hospital.
The exhibition, during the past fort
night, of photo-mechanical pictures.
by the y. Y. Camera Club. has not
only been interesting because of the
excellent quality of the work, but of
practical value to artists, printers. ETC..
Ill showing the different STYLES of pho
to-engraving processes. The advance
ment that is being made in this line is
something to be wondered at. Al
ready some of the pictures are superior
to the finest wood engrayings, and
others compare well with engravings on
steel and copper. The reproductions
OF Old manuscripts, time-stains and all
are perfect; while the photo-gravure
process gives us some finer results than
are obtained by photography itself.
This kind of work is rapidly endear-
ING II self TO the public and is destined
to make illustrations cheaper and bet
ter than ever.
The block system of registering real
estate, which is looked upon as a great
step toward simplicity. will 90 into eff
feet in this city on January LIST. On a
complete map of the city all the blocks
are laid down. each having permanent
number-also recorded in an index
book. At the head of each index of a
block, will be placed diagram of the
block, under which will be entered the
book and the page of the recorded in
struments. This method will largely
simplify real estate transactions. and
very likely make it possible for the
owners of real estate to transfer
it with the same facility as personal
property. If the experiment proves a
success here it will be tried in other
cities, and may work a revolution in
land transfers in this country.
