FOUR CURIOUS PLANTS,

Natures Hoax, Mother-in-Law, Lover's
Own and Scotch Attorney.
In the United States Botanical Gar.
dens, at Washington, D. c., are four
very curious plants, to which the Post
OF that city alludcs as Natures Hoax"
the "Mother-in-law plant" the 'sLov-
er's plant" and the "Scotch Attorney"
Natures Hoax" grows wild in Aus.
1rallan forests. The seed lodge about
five feet from the ground in decayed
trees, and the plant puts out leaves in
the shape of heads of deer and elk.
Many hunter has been fooled by the
plant.
"The Mother-in-law plant, or "Dumb
Cane," is really the Deffenbachia Sc
guina picta. An auctioncer, being un-
able to rattle off the botanical term,
called it the "Mother-in-law" plant, be-
cause of its queer qualities. The pecul-
iarity of the plant is this, that if q man
takes bite of it his power of speech is
taken away and his tongue is apt to be
paralyzed for week. Humboldt's mr.
ticulating muscles; were paralyzed for
eight days by this plant.
A specimen of the mimose rudica is
called the Lovers plant, because if q
girl be really in love this plant will curl
up ut her touch; if not, not.
Superintendent Smith, of the Gar
dcns, has facctiously termed q crecpcr
the "Scotch Attorney" The latter is
credited with engaging himself in
case and absorbing everything of value
in it before quitting it, and that's what
the plant docs. ,...'

VARIETIES OF SHINES.
Boot BlacI<ing rs q High Art in tho City
Of

Boot Blacking as q High Art in tho City
OF Boston.
There is a pleasing mystery, says the
Boston Post, about the methods of the
boot-blacking fraternity which do not
pretend to fathom. Indeed, it has al
ways seemed to me more satisfactory
to take them on trust than to seek to
penetrate their meaning. For this rca-
son l never ask the professor who
does me the honor to set off my personal
appearance by giving what he guaran-
tees to be a "boss shine" to my boots,
to show me his diploma; as long as he
does his work we'll, am Indifferent to
the authority under which he practices
his art. But was sorely tempted the
other day to depart from my custom in
this respect on seeing on a professors"
placard the following list of boot black
ing operations and the prices for them.
Opera shines, five cents; oil shines,
ten cents; Nubian shines, fifteen cents.
Not wishing to appear ignorant of
such matters of Importance in relation
to the polish of the understanding, and
feeling also that it is always well to
leave something to the imagination, I
rcfraincd from probing the mystery.
Sometime or other, however, I propose
to ascertain the nature of these differ
ent "shines" by patronizing the "pro-
fessor" who advertises them, though I
have feeling that it would be what the
socialists call ''culpable luxury" to pay
fifteen cents for ''Nubian shine" un-
less it has properties beyond those
which in my ignorance are associated
with it

that an immense spider was the origin
of the universe and the first cause of all
things. Drawing the material from its
own bowels 1t wove tho web of creation.
Sitting in tho center of its work it feels
and directs the motion of every part,

itself and, when they have been ab-
sorbed, everything will have vanished
