FIRE DOES NOT AFFKcT IT.

While in this locality ample opportunity
was afforded the members Of the expedition
to make an exhaustive study of the habits

series Of carefully conducted experiments it
was found that this plant would feed on any
kind Of metal placed at its roots and in q few
davs take on the characteristics of that
metal. and in the case Of the softer metals
often but a few hours were required II effect

affect G growing plant CT this species, prepa-
rations were made for TIE test. Large guam
titles of seasoned wood were procured ard
piled in 6. long row covering about thirty OF
the metal plants and FIRE ki2dled at the
eindward end Stanley and his entire party
watched the experiment. and had the salts
faction Of demonstrating that, beyond the
blac1ening Of the foliage by smoke, the in
tense heat 10 which the metal plant had been
subjected had done no harm to the plant Il
self. At the expiration OF e week it was
found that the rain had removed nearly all
traces OF the fire and tie plants were appar-
entity as healthy as ever.

A Terrible Tarantula.

y young lady living in the vicin-
ity of Folsom, Cal, had terrible
adventure a few evenings ago.
She was preparing to retire and
had placed breastpin on her
bureau, when by the dim light of
her lamp she espied II tarantula
close to the piece Of jewelry. With
a shrek OF terror she fed to the
room of male member of the
household and implored him to
come and kill the horrid thing.
The gentleman named started for
her room, and cautiously approach
ed the deadly foe to humanity.
Grasping \ stick he dealt blow
that almost cracked the bureau-top
and then proceeded to brush away
the remains. Examination reveal
ed the iact that the deadly taran-

heat and had formed into the ap-
peapance Of the awful spider.

HINTS FOR BRIDES.
A Few DOn'ts Which GuSh-
ing Girls VIII Hardly
Appreciate.
Ladies' Home Journal.l

Ladies' Home Journall
Let me venture few little points
to those of my girls who, since the
summer, have worn II bright ring
on third finger.
My dear, don't let the man to
whom you are engaged to be mar
ried pay any of the expenses of
your living or trousseau until you
are his wife. A calico dress and
contentment are much more to be
desired than II fine silk one, garni-
tured with scandal.
Don't complain to the man to
whom you are engaged of the differ
ent members ofyour own family. 1t
is not ii good preface to matrimonial
bliss.
Don't write silly letters to him,
even if he is fond of affection given
in that way. Let it be by word of
mouth, rather than with pen and
ink.
Don't expect MIN to love you as
no man has ever loved before; the
methods of loving are very much
the same all the world over. Be
satisfied if you have got a good,
honest love.
Don't believe that he is combi-
nation In beauty of all the ancient
gods, Of ali the gallant knights and
of all the great statesmen; but con-
clude that-he is ii gentleman, and
that should be your ideal.
Don't believe that he is thinking
of you every hour of his life. He
js not; he satisfied if he is working
away, with every now and then
giving thought to the girl for
whom.he is making home, over
which he expects her to preside us
n loving, thoughtful wife.

Not Much OF IL Shower.
Courier Journal

Courier Journal,l
A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune has been admitted to Il
"private view" of the President.
He gives the gentleman Il certiti-
cate of health and announces that
the Republicans are in frame of
mind which would he the envy and
admiration of Mark Tapley. If II
Democratic majority Of $50 in the
House, Democratic Governor in
such old-time Republican States as
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Wis
consin, Nebraska, New Hampshire
and Kansas, and changes in the
Senate that almost make it tie,
do not furnish ii basis for discour-
aging predictions, then the Repub-
licans have no concern for the fu-
ture.
We take it therefore, that as the
Republicans are not discouraged
neither are they repenlant. In
stead of undoing the work of last
winter we may look for them to
carry it on TO completion. Instead
of repeating or amending the Me-
Kinley bill they will, we suppose,
"stand by it," right or wrong.
Instead Of abandoning the Lodge
bill, or the McComas bill, or the
Dunnell bill, they will push them
ali through the Senate. Instead Of
stopping the pension raids they will
add II service pension 10 the de-
pendent pension.
The. subsidy bills and the direct
tax bill, now slumbering in the the
committee, may all, we suppose, be
revived and passed under the as
surance from the Republican lead
ers that after all there has not been
much of shower, and that the
election returns furnish no grounds
for any discouraging predictions.
This is the kind of Bourbonism
that leads to inevitable destruction
and we are glad to know from our
Republican contemporaries it gen
orally pervades the councils Of the
Republican party. On with the
dance; let JOY be unconfined.

A FORTY-TON ROCKER.
The Wonderfully Bal)aced
Stone Found in IL New
York Valley.

Perhaps one of the most interest
ing objects in picturesque Sullivan
county, New York, is the "rockng
stone" on the farm of Joseph Nc
Laury, two miles west of tn county
seat, Monticello, on the old New
burg and Coshocton turnpike. In
the center of u rather demure look
fig stone wall, of which it is part,
stands a rock whose history is as
vet unwritten and lies buried with
the dead of many generations. The
farm within the boundaries of
which it rests is in Il valley at an
elevation of some 1000 feet above
the level of the sea, forming in con-
sequence II most appropriate ped
estal on which to stand.
At first sight it probably would
not attract more than II passing
notice, but it is when II second and
closer observation is made that the
wonderful and delicate hand of
nature is seen, both in its compost
tion and smoothly ehiselcd sides.
In size it is nearly 800 cubic feet,
shaped very much like an orange
and weighing $4,000 pounds or forty
tons, and so nicely balanced on Il
table rock as to he easily set in
motion from either the north or
south side, yet the combined
strength of 100 mer, without arti-
fetal appliances, could not dislodge
itfrom its present position.
Its body is composed of loose
and soft sandstone, in which are
embedded numberless round and
fiinty pebbles of II diamond like
hardness. In all the valley where
it is situated it is the only specimen
of its class, around and under it
the stones being of an entirely diff
ferent structure. The table on
which it rests is Il hard stone, nearly
as firm ana close grained as the
blue stone cut from the quarries Of
Sullivan county. From whence it
migrated or the date of its pilgrim
age-for it is supposed to have
been lodged there by some volcanic
eruption during the drift period
lies not in the old tradition of the
coQnty.
Some of the adamantine pebbles
that-cluster thickly on its surface
have been ground off and split in
two, probably by the tremendous
attrition suffered in its passage.
7 he only relative specimen of its
kind in North and South America
is in the northern part of Canada.
Its sides and corners have also been
ground to almost emery fineness
by the powerful elements. Itstands
alone, IL silent monument of de-
parted age, erected by nature to
commemorate the mighty forces
which have been and are ever
working for the Improvement of
the earth, for the profit and benefit
of man.
