Wild Flowers i'm the Fall.

What are our very earliest wild flow

pect spring flowers? Perhaps the reader
thinks this is not Il timely question; but
it is. because the flowers are just coming

cur well known botanists. once favored
The Listener with some hepaticas which
he gathered in November, and he writes
that he has found some in October, too
blooming in the Middlesex Fells From
this time on he finds them blooming in

they bloom ia Novem Der and December,

a Statue for Washington Irving.


It is more than probable that Mr..
George William Curtis suggestion that
statue of Washington Irving be erected

a Eery practical way. Two or three
members of the chamber Of commerce
faTe interested themselves in the mat

1uence to make any enterprise that they
may take hold Of successful. It is prob
able that committee will soon be organ
lied to give the project definite form,
and there is scarcely u doubt that fund
of $4,000 or $4,000 will be raised in
short order among the members of the
chamber Of commerce The great statue
Of Washington in front of the sub

members of the chamber of commerce,
who raised S35. 900 without an effort. In

A French Girls Predicament.

A comical contretemps has just taken
place in one of the provincial towns of
France. Over twenty years ago the wife
of a prominent citizen gave birth to a
little girl who was christened Camille,
and whose birth, according to French
law, was duly registered at the mayors
Office But as Camille is a name that is
given to boys as well as to girls in
France. the mayor made a mistake in
entering the registration, and set down
the infant rs being boy. Time passed
on and the other day Mile Camille
who was on the point of being married
received notice to report himself
for military service. Owing to tie over
whelming red tapeism of French official
matters, the poor girl has had all the
trouble in the world to prove that she is
really Il young woman and not a man at
all. Moral: Mothers in France should
never bestow upon their daughters
names that are masculine as we'll as
feminine. Cor. Pittsburg Bulle-

A Queer Mark Going.

A historical curiosity of the Oldest
railway in Germany is about to be rele-
gated to oblivion. When the Nurnberg-
Furth line, the first railway on German
soil, replaced the old Thurn and Taxis
yellow post, a yellow stripe was painted
on every car, and for fifty-five years it
has remained unique reminder of the
ante-railway age. The Bavarian gov
ernment, however, has just ordered that
this stripe be painted out, in order that

bear, but they are not On an evening
not long ago John R. Sullivan, of Whit
neyville, was journeying home from
Wesley with six oxen tied together.
When in the vicinity of Six Mile Hill
they suddenly halted and manifested
great fear. Mr.. Sullivan, who went
forward to ascertain the cause. found a
very large bear standing erect in the
middle of the road, and not more than
two rods distant. Mr.. Sullivan threw a
few stones at the bear, which responded
by hopping around upon its launches
and waving its fore paws as if it meant
business: but the next volley caused him
to assume different attitude. and with
angry snarls he left the road.-Augusta

arrived Mr.. Durham had passed away.
This led the doctor to believe that an
other artery must have been cut, so an
examination was held this afternoon,
and as 10 trace of arterial blood was
found upon the bandage it was certain
that the man had not bled to death, and
the only theory given is that, as the
patient was very weak from loss of
blood, the sudden thought that he was
bleeding to death caused q shock which
stopped the pulsations of the heart, or,
in other words, the man was frightened

talk very earnestly and excitedly. The

than half as large as his mother and
weighed 240 pounds The old lady did
not show any injury. and the moment
the young one tumbled she turned and

bushes and disturbed oak leaves and
pine needles, when looking up we be-

half open mouth, and her eyes, partially
closed in rage. would have seemed quiz

ferocity which leaped and flashed in
their depths, like sheet lightning be-

we skinned her.-Aansas City Star.

selves defeated the third time, the young

a Eemarkahla Poem.

The following poem of three stanzas
of four lines each has often been alluded
to as one Of the most unique of literary
curiosities. Each stanza contains every
letter in the alphabet except the letter
''e," which all printers will tell you is
one of the most indispensable of the let
ters, its relative proportion of use being
lso times to 4. K s, 6 II and 40. The
one coming next to sc" in number of
times of use is ''a," which is used so
times while the letter in question is be-
ing used 120 times.
The poem which has caused the above
DEPRESSION is entitled
THE FATE OF NASSAU.
Bold Nassau quits his caravan,
A hazy mountain grot to scan;
Climbs jaggy rocks to spy his way,
Doth tax lis sight, but far doth stray.
Not work Of man nor sport of child
Finds Nassau in that may wild:
LIZ grows his joints, limbs toll in vain
Poor wight, Why didst thou quit that plain?

Knows Ziilah that thy Nassau falls;
But propling wolf and fox may joy
To quarry on thy Arab boy

An Infant Prodigy In Anatomy.

At the regular meeting of the South
arn Medical society, Saturday evening,
Master Albert Werner Fensch, of Fort
Mcpherson, was unanimously elected to
honorary membership in that organiza-
ton. as the youngest medical student
known to the profession.
Dr.. J. E. Price. of Virginia, president
of the society. who introduced this
young gentleman, stated that though
he had barely attained the age of 5
years, he was possessed of knowledge
of anatomy, especially of osteology,
equal to that of many graduates of med
icine.
In his exhibition before the society
the child was able, not only to give the
technical and scientific names of each
of the two hundred and odd bones of the
human skeleton, but to describe their
various functions. divisions, tuberosities,
tubercles. etc.
The little fellow prefers to amuse him
self by fitting together and adjusting
the bones of the human body (of which
he has been presented q complete set) to
playing with blocks, drums and whistles,
and delights in tracing on anatomical
charts and cuts the various blood vessels
of the human anatomy rather than
amusing himself with picture books.
He intelhgently listens to and appreci-
ates scientific lecture on anatomy
while scoring Mother Goose's melodies,
and chooses his friends and acquaint-
ances among physicians and medical
students rather than from children of
his own age-Atlanta Constitution.

The proposed Yosemite national park
has become q reality by the enactment
of Gen. Vandever's bill. By this result
not only an important addition is made
to the area of wonderful scenery reserv-

within considerable limits, to the depre-
dations of lu1nbermen and sheep herders.
Another important gain, and one of
great practical value, is the protection
which this new reservation insures to the
headwaters of the San joaquin. Merced

eloping to Jeffersonville Tuesday night
and becoming man and wife. The

but reached tie wharf some time after

after much parleying an engine was

reached Jefforsonville about 4 o'clock,

to be shown the residence of County

lighted parlor of Magistrate Keigwin,

the couple one.-Louisville Courier-J Jour

Tampcring with Another Mans Mail.


A story Of how well known sporting
man put his guardian to the expense Of
$1,000 by an intended joke has just
leaked out. 1t seems that the guardian
had some business affairs that We're be-
ing contested in the courts and needed
special attention on account of the big
amount at stake. The sport knew of
this. and in order to make himself popu-
l.r in his own eyes formed the idea of
intercepting the mail in connection with
the business affair. 1t CHANGED that
about this time IL settlement was offered
by one of the persons on condition that
it should be accepted Immediately. This
offer was the first thing taken, and for
the next week the contents of it were
published pretty thoroughly in the city
At length, when things neared climax
the facts We're confessed. but that did
not prevent the outlay of 5000. because
the offer was not accepted sooner
