VEGETABLE CURIOSITY.
A Plant Out in California That Produces
Hard Boiled Eggs.

Among the many curious things in
the plant world, says the San Fran,
cisco Examiner, such as flowers that
eat dies the Holy Ghost plant, that
bears white dove in it's petals, and
others equally interesting, there is
none more curious than the solanum
gatratrum, II recent addition to Golden
Gate park conservatory.
This plant bears hard-b boiled eggs
for fruit. At least. the fruit resem-
bles hard-boiled egg. with the shell
taken off, as nearly as a truly egg can.
There are three eggs on the park
plaut-One as large as pigeons egg,
another the size of turkeys product,
and the third is about 1-2 inches Iong
by 1-2 wide. In color they are iden-
teal to the blush white of the cooked
article of hen production. The laying
plant was the great object of attrac-
ton in the conservatory yesterday.
and groups of people stood before it
all day. wondering what it was and
whether the fruit was good to eat.
The blossom is small, of rich pur-
pie hue. and when the flower drops off
a little white egg is seen. This grows
to about the size of its cousin. the
pear-shaped egg plant of commerce.
Bpt the white variety preserves the
perfect egg-shape in all stages of its
development.
1t thrives in the open air wherever
the purple plant grows, and is Guilt
waited in the same way. Another vari-
ETY. of the same family bears a golden
yellow fruit, but the white variety is
the only one in which the fruit is OF
the ovoid form.
When pressed between the fingers
the white fruit is found to possess the
same soft. elastic feeling as hard
boiled egg. The interior is filled with
cells and small seeds, like the purple
plant of the tomato.
Aside from Its utility as an article
of food it is priced for its rarity and
beauty. The plant stands about two
feet high. and has broad. soft. oval
leaves of dark green.

Daniel tTebGdcF'S 5nRckeG aauG.
A story of Daniel Webster, told by
himself long years ago comes to the
Times at only second hand from the
lady who heard him tell it.
Webster, as boy in the rude viii
lage school at Salisbury (now Frank
linz, n. H, where he lived in boy
hood, WAS not free from the small
pranks and mischiefs in which boys Of
a dozen years are Cor used to beg apt
to indulge even in school hours. It
was a whipping punishment then for
almost everything and the MASTER a
hard di8ciplinarian had called Daniel
up to his chair.
Il used to have | am sorry to say
it said the statesman, as school
boy, very dirty hands On being
called up to be 'feruled, the custom
airy form OF punishment then, l covert
ly and hastily licked one hand to make
it more presentable. and hurriedly
wiped it by rubbing it on my sleeve.
after getting up from my seat.
Hold out your hand? was the COM
mand, and out went the hand | had
tried to lick.
Dan, exclaimed the master, in
reproving tone. looking at the dirty
little paw, if you can show me a
dirtier hand than that in all this
school I'll let you Of.
immediately, added Webster Il
thrust gut the other hand! The school
master was stumped. But he was as
good rs his word; he let me of. -

WONDERFUL MEMORY OF A HORSE.
After an Absence of Ten Years He Rec
ognfzed His Old Master.

About nineteen years ago D. Wal
ton bought pair of chestnut sorrel
horses for $780," said Tom Felts last
night, land after keeping them short
time he sold one of them for $3.50 to
MIR. Teasley. I bought him from Mr..
Teasley for $3.50, and for nine vear-

part of the time lived in the coun-
try, and one rainy night the loft OF the
stable, with sixty-fve barrels of corn
in it, fell in and pinned the horse down
to the ground so that he could hardly
move. l did not hear the crash, bat
afterwards found out it occurred about
midnight. Next morning l went out
to the stable, and it nearly broke my
heart to see the horse that loved bet
ter than anybody or anything in this
world in such fix. He lay perfectly
still, and | thought he was dead. and
| could not he'll crying. After while
we got him out, and l just know from
the way he rubbed his nose against me
that he knew how much / loved him,
and how suffered to see him pinned
down to the ground that way with
sixty-five barrels of corn on top of
him.
About ten years ago l sold the
horse to Stirling Walker, and he prom
ised not to sell him any more. But
after he had kept him long time he
traded him to man up in Springfield.

ton down here on the square. A man

you something funny.
Day before yesterday was passing
along Buena Vista street when l saw i,
horse standing on the other side of the
street. wasn't thinking about any
thing in particular, and just walked
on. First thing | knew that horse had
crossed the street and was rubbing his

BOBBY IS A KNOWING DOC.
4 Tree Account of Some Feats he Per-
forms with Numbers.

| L Troe Account of Some Feats he Per
forms with Numbers.
A fat skye terrier stood wagging his
fuzzy tail on a Fifteenth street corner,
says the Washington STAR He looked
up at his master as much as to say;
LET US play at something
Bobby knows more than N any a
human being" said his owner to the
group of young men with whom he
was talking. Let me show you a
few things that he can do. Bobby, go
snd fre-plug."
The skye terrier looked up and down
the street for minute before deciding
which way to go. Then he saw fire
plug opposite and started for it.
Get up on the fre-plug Bobby, "
cried his master.
Bobby got up on the plug and sat
there still waggiug his tail. Presently
he returned and his master told one of
the other young men to put down a
nickel and a penny on the sidewalk.
How many cents are there on the
pavement Bobby?" asked his owner.
Bobby barked six times.
His master picked up the copper
penny and said: Now. Bobby, how
many cents are there?"
Bobby barked five times.
His owner picked up the nickel and
put down the penny, saying: How
many cents are there now, Bobby?"
Bobby barked once
His master picked up the penny and
put down the nickle.
Suppose | take 2 cents away from
that, Bobby" he said, how many will
be Left"
Bobby barked three times.
Suppose | take l cent away, how
many will be left?''
Bobby barked four times
Suppose take cents away, how
many would be left?"
Bobby barked once
many will be left?'
Bobby looked up at his master,
wagged his tail and was silent.
That's correct, Bobby; nothing
would be left, " said the master, you
are a very good dog. Go into that
shop and be careful to shut the door
behind YOU because the day is chilly.
/ will join you In a moment"
Bobby walked into the store on the
corner, went behind the open door,
pushed it to, and was not seen again.
His master, who was formerly an &C
countant in the treasury, went in pres
emily to buy necktie. Possibly he
sought advice from Bobby in selecting
the article.

OLD GEN. HARVEY.
How He Honored n Private Soldier Who
Fought With Him.

Long before l was policeman. saws
an interview in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, | served in the regular army
and made several journeys of the
plains with the famous Indian fighter
Gen. w. S. Harvey. Gen. Harvey was
a remarkable man in many respects.
but he particularly eXceled in all ath-
letic exercises. Physically, he was
in the habit of getting into fights that
were derogatory to his dignity. On
one occasion he became enraged and
made an assault upon a soldier named
Kelly, who was considered to be the
strongest man III the regiment. He
was fully as good as Harvey. maybe
little better, but that officer knew
every trick of the ring, and brought
the fight TO an end by striking his OPP
ponent on the forearm with the side
of the open hand. breaking the bone.
That night Kelly deserted. Many
months afterward, when Harvey was
in command at Fort Leavenworth,
Kelly was brought in. He had been
arrested, tried for desertion, and sem
fenced to three years in prison. As
soon as Harvey heard of his arrival he
had him brought to his office and asked
him why he had deserted. Kelly replied
that he had struck his superior officer
and feared that he would be most Sc
verelv punished in consequence. Har-
ney sprang from his chair and said: Il
honor you for what you did. l had no
right to strike you, and you were per-
fectly justified in striking back. If
you had stayed nothing would have
ever been heard about it. l must now
see about getting you out of this"
He gave Kelly work about his souse
until an answer could be received
from Washington to his application for
kelly's pardon. When this came he
was at once re-enlisted. made nom
commissioned officer. and served with
Harvey for years.
