The 'angry tree,"a woody plant,
which grows from ten to twenty-five
feet high, and was formerly supposed
to exist only in Nevada, has recently
been found both in Eastern California
and in Arizona. If disturbed this pc
culiar' tree shows every sign of vexa-
ton. even to ruffiing up its leaves like
the hair on an angry cat, and giving
forth an unpleasant, sickening odor.
This tree ought to grow in Kansas and
Missouri. but it does not, so far as any
botanist knows.

Forcing Their Chains.

Weldless steel chains have been ex-
perimented with in England. The
chains are cut from a blank after the
same general methods employed in
cutting out a chain from a single piece
of wood. As steel is used, it is assert
ed that the weight can be reduced
one-third from what was necessary in
old chains of similar strength.

FOUNDED ON WASH-DAY.
The Humble Origin Of One of the Cele.

DT6teO SluDS GA HOSGOAs
"Were you ever in Boston and did
you ever dine at the Temple club OF
that city," asked q well-known club man
of Chicago, says the Chicago Tribune.
Then he added: NEARLY eighty years
ago several merchants Of the Hub took
to dining downtown Mondays for the
reason that that day was wash-day at
home and their wives gave the order
that there would be no regular dinners
on that day there. In this way the men
became cronies, for they were in the
habit of dining together at a down
town restaurant. They looked for Mon
day to come with the interest Of boys
and they saved up their best stories for
that meeting. This was kept up for
some years, when it occurred to them
that the town as growing. and they had
not as much time as formerly. It was
suggested that if the good wives could
get along better with the Homework on
one day for the absence of the husbands
they, the wives, could do much better
if the husbands took dinner downtown
every day. On this suggestion the Tenn
PIE tluD, OuC OI VIC S1lleSL LII UiJC CItys
was founded. Of course, the member
ship has changed since its formation.
Many of the original members have
passed away. 1t is now club Of eighty
members, and most of them are bank
ers. The building in which the club
rooms are fronts on the old Boston
Common. The bay-windows are large
and look out on the most fashionable
promenade Of the city. In those win
dows every afternoon one can see a
number of the older members, every
one banker worth from a million to
two or three millions, slipping their
brandy and soda, great drink with
the older men of Boston, and watching
the ladies as they pass by. The mem
bers have peculiar reverence for Mon
day. That is the day on which they in.
vite their guests to dine with them. On
that day the dinner is served to the
members without card. 1t is a home
dinner, and the walters card is dis
pensed with for. the reason that it is
the intention to make the dinner free
from everything that has any semi alliance
of business. X

Novel Suggestion by We1l-Known Eng
lish Philosopher.
Frederic Harrison, the English essay
list and philosopher, has recently made
a plea for IAN English Pompeii." It is
a deliberate plan for a subterranean
city, furnished with all the ''conve-
niences'' of to-day, that may be nn-
earthed thousand years from now for
the advantage and instruction of pos
terity. In few centuries, he declares,
the human race will have exhausted
gold, silver, coal, ivory, fur, whalebone,
and perhaps mahogany. The elephant
will soon be as rare as the mammoth,
and with the elephant will disappear
the seal, the whale, and all the larger
marine mammals London, in the
twenty ninth century, he thinks may
be as desolate as the Egyptian Thebes,
so. for the benefit of the New Zealand
globe trotter Of 1890, who is to moor his
electric balloon on the last broken arch
Of London bridge, be would construct a
subterranean city in which each centu-
~ would deposit it's almanacs, guides
and other treasures. These vaults he
would have thirty or forty feet square,
8cased twenty feet thick with the strong
est known cement, and to contain 9
careful collection Of products, works,
inscriip tions, pictures, books, instru
ments and the like Of each century.
Each vault should be opened officially
by public authority and legi slative sane
ton IN the last year Of each century.

There seems to be little misunder-
standing between the chief OF police ana

that the court is too lenient with certain
offenders, while the judges say that

proof to convict. There is no denying
the fact that the city is being overrun
with very undesirable class OF Great

The prevailing state socialism IS an
ing the larger towns with good things
excellent museums, splendid libraries,
free reading rooms, parks, botanical
gardens, manifold places OF interest Or
amusement. These are for the multi
tude, and the multitude ia Australia IS
unquestionably becoming southern Ia
its taste for excitement and amuse-
ments, says q writer in Century t51l
For the rich are music, the theater and
clubs as expensive and almost as lnxr1ri-
GUS as those of Pail Mall or Piccadilly.
For the children of all, excellent schools
and universities So rich and poor alike
crowd into the towns, which become
large without becoming crowded, so
wide is the room for expansion, SO per-
feet the appliances Of tram rail and
boat for the subrr ban residence. Thus
the cities have acquired not only an ex-
cess of population, but also asocial and
political dominance which Is neither
British nor American, and for which
only a continental parallel can be-
found. To an outside observer the re-
sulting condition of things seems arti-
fetal and not without grave dangers,
but curiously interesting, as illustrating
new forms of national growth, possibly
incidental to extreme democratic devel-
opment. The concentration OF popula-
ton has enabled the artisan class to Sc
cure uneqnaled present advantages,
but there is. justification for the view
entertained by many Australians that
it will sap the foundations of perma-
nent prosperity, unless a check can be
found. The gravest problem before
Australia is apparently how to get a
sufficient agricultural population to
stay upon the land. The temper of the
country is not favorable to the patient
industry Of the farm, with it's remote
results and slow accumulation. Within
the last few years the curious phenom-
.enon has occasionally presented itself
of serious dearth of labor in country
places, while in the towns masses Of UNI
employed were besieging the govern
nnent offices with demands for relief
works. Sent, sometimes at government
expense, to the rural districts, the ''un~
employed soon drift back to the
mingled wants and delights Of city life.
