A HANDSOME FLOWER,
The Glorious Blossom and Rich Perfume
of the Amazon Regias.

The Glorious Blossom and Rich Perfume
of the Amazon Regias.
The most interesting sight connected
with these Amazon Regias is the open
ing of the bud. AS the evening of the
critical day approaches the bud lifts
itself out of the water. About $50
o'clock it begins shaking itself vio-
lently, almost as if imbued with a rea-
soning life. After quick agitation one
petal flies open and the bud subsidies
into quietude. In twenty minutes the
shaking resumes and another petal flies
open, and again it relapses into pas
siye state. Then the rests are shorter
and the nun; Der Of petals opening at one
time increases-first one, then two, then
a dozen dash into life, and the blossom
with hundred petals is reality. 1t is
a pure white in every part, with an ex-
panse of two feet across its virgin
bosom. 1t gives up strong but an
agreeable perfume, so powerful as 20 be
perceived one hundred yards away.
In this state the Regia remains until
the coming of the suns rays bid it close.

darkness approaches it reopens its

Now it is in its perfection; now it has
obtained its fullest, completest growth.
Its sway lasts only through the dark

close reluctantly; as the heat touches

the plant dies, too. Tho bulky leaves

THE PLANET MARS.
IL Is Very Probable That 1t Is Peopled

with Sentient Beings.
If the world is to credit the announce
ments made from time to time by Italy's
hawk-eyed astronomer, Schiaparelli,
from the Milan observatory, some queer
things must be going on, on our nearest
outer neighbor, the planet Mars. The
Italians latest discoveries on his favor.
lite planet are "a gigantic bridge, or
bank of sand" which seems to have
been thrown across one Of the lesser of
tho Martial seas. an isolated sea, far in
tho planets east. The band, or bridge,
has yellow hue. 1t divides the nearly
circular sea-a water about the size of
the Black Sea-into two unequal parts.
Another astronomer, located in En-
gland, has discovered five immense
canals on Mars, which are divided into
double parts by straight central lines,
works or constructions, which pass
through them lengthwise. These canals
had been seen by other astronomers.
some of them five or six years ago; and
some observers had even expected the
central line or division in at least two
of them; it is now apparently confirmed.
Perhaps, when the latest big refract-
ing telescope has been put in place,
under California skies, but in another
observatory, we may get some new facts
about our nearest outer neighbor. The
big glass at the Lick Observatory is
either doing nothing for the use Of pop
ular astronomy-the cause for which
James Lick gave his money-or else for
some unknown reason, the instruments
discoveries are kept from the public.
Mars is, at most times not less than
46, 900, 900 miles from the earth; but at
some times much less. At its approach
ing opposition, in the spring of 1892,
Mars will present a peculiarly favorable
opportunity for studying his appearance
and conditions. If the Clarks finish the
great 40-inch object glass for the Los
Angeles observatory, on which they are
now at work, in time to permit view
of Mars through that medium, in 1892,
some interesting facts may be discov-
cred. 1t is very probable that Mars is
peopled with sentient beings-presum-
ably much like human beings They
may know good deal more about earth
and its people than earth's people know
Ebout them. 1t is known already that
Mars has annual seasons which corre-

all had their turn. This tended moro
to refinement than any thing else. :"
1.-The booksellers shops were not stuffed
as they are now with novels and maya
zines. The weman's knowledge was
gained by conversing with men, not by
reading themselves, as they had few
books they could understand. Whoever
had read Pope, Addison, and Swift, with
some ill-rot history, was then thought a
Harmed lady, which character was by
no means agreeable" 1.-THE intercourse
of the men with the woman, though less
reserved than at present, was to the
full as pure. They would walk together
for hours or travell on horseback or in a
chaise without any imputation of impru-
dence. The parents had no concern
when an admirer was their guide"
These remarks look strange when
contrasted with the foregoing observa-
tions, as to the "undelicat" manners of
the young ladies in 1924. 1t can not be
wholly accounted for by the difference

They met every evening in their clubs,

country that late ''colations took place,

the response to the inquiry of whether
MRS. Blank resided here" The searcher
for reference walked right into a
darkened apartment.
"You must excuse the darkness, but
the fact is" said the nowly-found
hostess, Il lost my dog two months ago,

there came a sob, almost inaudible, but
unmistakable.

followed a succession of shifts and sobs.
Being assured by the visitor of the lat.

Jane was good servant.
"What, Mary Jane? Why she's cold

copious flow Of tears that were dried by
frequent applications of handkerchief.
''But otherwise Mary Jane was good
servant?" said the visitor.
"1es, indeed; but who'd have such a
merciless wretch in their employ?'
At this juncture the visitor arose to
depart. ''Fido used to sit in that win

but she returned home, and when Mary

HONEST LITTLE HENRY.
His Experience Proves That Virtue Is Its

him:
'Henry, let us surprise your dear

He works ten hours for nine hours pay,
and he never strikes. Let us surprise
him with something now for supper"
''With all my heart" exclaimed little
Henry, as he left his play. What
shall it be?"
"a fine, fat custard, my boy. You
run over to Mrs. Thompson's and ask
her to lend me bowl three eggs, cup

Little Henry departed in bouyant
spirits, and as he was about to cross the
bridge he espied an object in the road.
Going closer, he discovered that it was a
large, fat wallet. He picked it up and
opened it, to find that it contained sew
eral hundred dollars. No one was in
sight; no one had seen him. An evil
voice whispered to him to take the
money and throw tho wallet away, and
for a moment he was tempted. But for
a moment only. Then he lifted up his
head and said aloud:

the money to see il it was all right, and

said:

Honest Henry ran home to tell the
good news, and his mother laid her
hand on his head and said:

PROFIT IN HYPNOTISM.

"Ah," said her husband.
And she always has plenty of money

"Hypnotism?" exclaimed Mrs. Larkin.
Eyes; she's got him hypnotized. She
discovered a few weeks ago that she
could hypnotic him, and he consented
to let her experiment. After she had
made him do number of foolish tricks,
she remembered that hypnotizers can
project a suggestion into future time.
That is, they can tell tho subject, while
the latter is in the hypnotic state, to do
something at certain time tomorrow
or next day, and she resolved to try that
on Bunting, too. So she said, Now,
Mr.. Bunting, every time you take

five-dollar bill, and every time you buy
quarter cigar you must come right
home and hand me dollar The poor
fellow has been doing it ever since. As
soon as he takes a drink of whisky he is

BYHOOD.

Full Of q sweet delight,
But thoughts will como of future years

For every life, however bright,

Inever hear baby's cry,

And hear the joyous, ripping laugh
That follows quick again,
But thous hts will come of bitter tears
On soma far-distant day,
And of the laugh that then will strive
To hide the grief away.
