A WONDERFUL PLANT.
The Seed Found in the Craw of n
Crona

The Seed Found In the Craw of n
A truly wonderful plant is at the ALLIE
ghany conservatory, says the Pitts
burgh Chronicle. No one knows to what
class 1T belongs or any thing about it.
1t is the subject Of much speculation
among botanists, and they nxiously
await the development of bud that is
forming. Then, they say, they can place
the plant. The botanists have sus-
picion that the plant is tropical one,
and Superintendent Hamilton is treat
ing it on that supposition.
The history of the plant so far as
known is unique one. During the
summer one of party of gunners
brought down a crane. 1t was beauti-
full specimen and the taxidermist of the
party set to work to mount it. In the
birds craw were found several seeds.
With view of learning if the seed was
killed by the bird eating it they were
placed in water. In a few days the seeds
sprouted. They were planted in loan
and kept in warm room. Edward V.
McCandless took charge of it. The
plant was an object of interest to Mr..
McCandless and his botanist friends and
Its development was closely watched.
1t was transferred to the conservatory.
The leaves are long and broad and
heavy, not unlik species of palm.

AN ADVENTURE ON THE GANoES



On sailing up the Ganges, says a
writer in the Globe-Democrat, my boat
happened to be moored by the side of a
large budgerow "a Bengal pleasure
boat in which q somewhat choleric
gentleman was, as l conceived, at rest;
all his boatmen and servants, to the
number, dare say, of twenty-five or
thirty, were sleeping, rolled in their
white shawls, upon the roof of the
apartment in which he was lying, which
rose like poop above the deck. 1t was
a beautiful night, and in the neighbor-
hood of Colgong, one of the most ro-
mantle parts of the river.
was seated on the deck, although it
was past midnight, enjoying the scene,
when my contemplations were disturbed
by an unusual Splashipg in the water.
On turning in tife direction Of the noise
saw the unfortunate men leaping and
tumbling into the river from the boat
OF my passionate neighbor, who was
standing like a madman on the deck
brandishing stick over their heads.
Never shall l forget the scene. The
moon lit up his bald head, for he had
thrown his nightcap at one of the
people in rage at not being able to
reach him with his stick. The boat
men, who are always expert swim
mers and did not seem to lose their
presence of mind by the sudden transi-
ton, very soon reached the shore and
gazed in establishment, as did myself,
at the comedy in which they had taken
such unexpected and conspicuous parts.
| conceived some terrible offense must
have been given to have called for such
an uncompromising severity, for every
one was driven from his berth. l was
soon relieved from my suspense, how
ever. The victor strutted two or three
times over the deserted field, then turn
ing toward the routed enemy, who
seemed to rally on the banks, shook his
stick at them and cried out in Hindo-
stance:
'I'll teach you to snore, you scoun-
drels!"
This ludicrous explanation of the
whole mystery affected the crew as it
did myself, and loud laugh was the
reply. So extravagant punishment
for as natural fault they thought it
absurd to think further about; and with
the greatest good humor, not willing,
however, to run the risk of a second
tight they kindled fire and, squatting
around it, smoked their pipes and
laughed at the event till it was time to
prepare for sailing.
1t is not likely so touchy traveller
would give favorable account of the
people he travelled among, as he was
always one of their most violent
abusers. Poor man! The recollection
of his fate almost rebulSes me for hav-
ing written the above anecdote. He
was murdered a short time afterward
on the banks of the river in his prog
ress to Cawnpore.

A Maine boy, who is now professor
in one of our New England colleges,
used to teach town schools while fitting
himself for his university course, saws
the Lewiston Journal. Seated opposite
to him on railway train awhile ago he
related to me some Of his early expert
ence in teaching the youthful idea.
One strapping great girl, woman
grown, caused him considerable trouble
because of her Indifference to the beau
ties OF education in general and ''goger-
fry' in particular, for which neglect
he caused her to put in considerable
time after school in making up.
1t reached the teachers ears one day
that this maid had declared to an ad-
miring group that she wouldn't have her
lesson on that afternoon, and that il the
teacker kept her after school he would
have the privilege of sitting up one night
with her at any rate before she would
make the lesson up. This idea caused
muchexcitement among the pupils, who
are usually ready to enjoy teachers

According to the programme the young
lady's lesson that afternoon was a COM

ended the other pupils fingered about
with an air of expectancy to see the out.
come of matters.
The teacher politely showed them out
OF the room, however, and then went in
and shut the door, There sat the damsel
with her arms deliantly folded and the
book closed on the desk before her
The pedagogue cordially invited her to
open the book and begin operations
but this had no effect whatever.
"All right" said he, taking out his
watch. "fll give you just thirty min
utes to get that lesson, and if it is not
ready at the end of that time I'll take
you across my knee and give you one of
the most comprehensive, unabridged
and able-bodied spankings that have
ever occurred since Julius Caesar was an
infant"
Then he took chair with his back to
the enemy. Surprise, modification,
tears and sobs ensued, hut at the end of
the half hour the lesson had been

A man who argues that one pound of
tea makes four hundred small or three
hundred ordinary-sized cups states his
case as follows: Tea testers ordinarily
use silver five-cent piece for weighing
the exact quantity required for a cup.
AS there are about twenty-five five-cent
pieces to an ounce, and as there are
sixteen ounces to a pound, it follows
that one pound of tea will actually
make four hundred cups, according to
the standard of strength ordinarily re-
quired by professional testers The
cups used for this purpose contain.
however, one-fourth less than the aver
age domestic teacups. 1t will, there
fore, be seen that after making due
allowance for the difference in the size
OF the cups the number will be very
close to three hundred.
