The Moon Flower.

Arnold Brinkworth, who owns, per-
haps, the finest private botanical collec-
ton in the country, and whose green
houses near Mount Sterling, Ky, are
filled with the rarest and most delicate
plants of all nations, is exhibiting with
much pride specimen Of the heur de
lune, the existence of which has often
been doubted, but which was sent Mr..
Brinkworth a few months ago by friend
residing near Obydos, Brazil. It was
obtained for him from an Indion, who
found it growing in a swamp in the
depths of the Amazonian forests, and is
the only specimen which has ever reached
this country alive. Those who have
been favored by glimpse of the curios-
ity say it is delicate, tenacious vine,
covered with small, glossy leaves of q
bright and very tender green, climbing
to height of four or FIVE feet, bearing
here and there milk-white blossom Of
o disk-like shape.
When the moon is at its first quarter
a distinct shadow or stain of deep yell
low, which seems rather in than out of
the flower. and corresponding to the
shape OF the moon, makes its appearance
on this disk, and grows as the planet
does, until, when at its full size, the
yellow stain covers the entire flower. As
the moon begins to wane again this re-
treats in the same ratio, and finally dis
appears altogether, to return once more
as the new moon is seen to come back.
When the planet sets the flower closes,
and does not unfold until the moo ri E
on the following night. It pursues this
course month after month, whether
placed in the open air or kept in hot
house, though under the latter circum-
stances the yellow tint is much paler and
more undecided, while the white surface
takes on dingy, unhealthy tinge. The
plant subsists almost entirely on air, its
roots being barely covered with little
moist gravel. - Cincinnati Commercial

I had been troubled five months
with Dyspepsia. The doctors told
me it was chronic. I had fullness5

me. Then again I would have the
terrible pains of Wind Collie. At;
such times I would try to belch and
could not. I was working then for.

HINTS ABOUT SKIRTS.

The present style of dress skirts looks
well on sylph, but stout figure is at
a great disadvantage in a clinging skirt.
In gowns for mature wearers the straight
outlines should be softened by the intro
duction of few folds in front or panel
at the side. Some of the new skirts are
slit open on either side to reveal a glimpse
of silk petticoat in a contrasting color.

The Great Forcpaugh Shows.

The Cincinnati Enquirer. May IL, says
The immense tents Of this mammoth exhi
bition we're filled yesterday afternoon, ane
in the evening fully 10000 people were II
attendance. The parade in the morning
was conceded to be one of the best of the
kind ever seen in this city.
TO adequately describe the CIRCUS, hippo
drome and Wild West exhibit would be Il
write a veritable encyclopaedia OF asenlc ut
erature, All the olden time, bat ever new,
features of the CIRCUS are presented. but up
on such a scale as was probably never
dreamed Of at a time within the recollec-
ton OF the average reader. To these wore
added in extravaganza profusion new acts,
which displayed human skill and daring in
it's very highest state OF development pos
sible.
Naturally first to be mentioned among
these are the Hanlon- VOTERS, i~ndisputably
the foremost aerialists of the world. Their
flights through space show that they are
not only absolutely devoid of the elemen
called fear, but they perform their perllous
feats with all the grace OF a swallow on .uil
wing. At times they fairly float upon the
air. OF equal grade, though of a different
order Of talent, is the performance of Col.
E, d, Boone and Mile Csrlotta and their
lions. They appear i'll a huge circular
cage Of steel, of light construction bat tire
mendous strength, and Compel their kings
OF beasts TO perform eVery Sole L GiAoA
that can b taught any domestic animal.
The apex Of mastery is shown when these
chiefs Of the feline tribe patiently hold a
rope whilo their natural enemies, dogs,
jump over 1t repeatedly. Their work is done
80 promptly and submissively that its diff
Guilty is not at first apparent. The aston
ishmept of the beholder rapidly quickens
into appreciative admiration and the in
trepid trainers are applauded enthusiastio-
ally. " \ \ High-wire performances by
that most famous and beautiful OF women
of the arena, the queenly Zazel; and SO on
through a long list Of sixty-nine acts. every
one Grst- class. The hippodrome was Of
unusual merit, and the performances was
brought to a close by = four-horseo chariot
race.
Taken act for act and compared with any
other this programme must be conceded
the superiority in both extent and merit.
Ono Of the most notable features of the es-
blishment was its gentility and tone in gem
eral. The utmost regard for the comfort
and enjoyment of the audience was shown
in every department. There was an uhmis-
taxable feeling Of satisfaction depicted up
on the faces of tho audience - it left the
tents, and many were heard expressing
their qualification in having nothing what
ever to complain of except that there wa
too much of it to see on one visit and they
would have to see it again.
