Four Curious Plants.

In the United States Botanical Gardens
at Washington, D. c., are four very
curious plants, to which the Post of that
city alludes as "Nature's Hoax" the
Mother-in-Law Plant" the "Lover's
Plant" and the 'sScottish Attorney"
"Nature's Hoax" grows wild in Austral.
ian forests. The seed lodge about five
feet from the ground in decayed trees
and the plant puts out leaves in tile. siiapg
of heads of deer or elk. Many hunter
has been fooled by the plant. "The
Mother-in-law Plant" or "Dumb Cane" ="
is really the Deffenbachia segulna picta.
An auctioneer being unable to rattle of
the botanical term called it the ''Mother-
in-law Plant" because of its queer quail
ties. The popularity of the plant is this,
that if man takes bite of it his power
of speech is taken away and his tongue is
apt to be paralyzed for week. Hum.
boldt's articulating muscles were para.
lyzed for eight days by this plant. \
specimen of the mimose rudica is called
the 'Lover's Plant" because if a girl be
really in love this plant will curl up at
her touch, if not, not. Superintendent
Smith, of the Gardens, has facetiously
termed the creeper the "Scottish Attor-
ney." The latter is credited with engag-
ing himself in case and absorbing every
thing of value in it before quitting it,,
and that's what the plant does.

Eccentric Benev0 lence.

There resided at Seymour, Conn, near
Hartford, few years ago, a very eccen-
trio man named John ii. Tingue. He
had an income of over 100000 year
from his seal plushes, and was bachelor.
He used his money as free as water.
When he visited fair or benevolent en-
tertainment, which he did when any
occurred, he would leave 5000 at the
various tables. His purchases he would
distribute to strangers or children. On
one occasion he offered $50 to any young
lady who would bring him string con-
tanning 5000 buttons, each button being
a different pattern.
After paying $50 for the first string
others arrived, and rather than disap-
point the young ladies he continued to
pay the same amount for each string
brought. AS result of this whim four
large oaken cases stand to-day in the
agricultural room of the Capitol in Hart.
ford filled with strings of buttons, each
bearing the name of the contributor.

Miles Of Human Bones.

Two prospectors recently visited the
Island of San Nicholas, off the Ventura
coast, with the purpose of taking up
land. They have returned, says the
Ventura (Cal.) Free Press, discouraged
in the original idea. They have found
the land on the island, which is four
miles wide by twelve long, utterly bar
rem.
On the western side sand is about the
only thing seen, and this has been blown
from the beach clear to the top of the
island, seven or eight hundred feet high.
On the other side of the island (the east
side) they found human bones for dis
tance of five miles along the beach. They
were very thick, and looked as if it had
been a graveyard. They also discovered
the remains of human bodies on the
ridge, which runs lengthwise through
the island. In some places two skeletons
were found close together, as if they had
been buried in the same grave. The
wind had blown off what covering of
soil had been thrown over them and it
looked quite ghastly. Bones were thickly
strewn along this ridge for upward of
three miles. From appearances up
ward of three or four thousand Indians
must have been buried there.
A shanty which had been built on the
west side was found buried clear to the
roof in sand There are now about two
thousand sheep on the island, and from
a sort of rough grass they seem to keep
fat. The party went into cave which
afforded an Indian woman, the sole oc.
cupant of the island, home for seven
years. 1t seems that when her party was
leaving the island she jumped overheard
and swan ashore in the night. Years
went by before she was taken off.

NO. Z.
SUNDOwN.

Now sky and wood and upland
Are drenched with crimson rain; Z
The mellow clink of COW. bells
LIS coming up the lane.
Now arrowy swallows, cheeping,
Their circling comrades hail;
While ping-a-pang-a
Goes the milking-pail.
Now ducks come waddling homeward,
And geese, in single file;
And chickens fly to branches,
Or top the old 'wood-pile.
Now bats leave barry yard crannies,
And dusky grows the vale;
While swish-a-swash-a-swis
Goes the milking-pail.
Now katydids wax testy.
And crickets whisper ''sleep'
And sudden sparks of firehies
Pulse through the shadowy deep.
Now DINNER grow the meadow,
Vined wall and zigzag rail;
While frith-a-froth and homeward
Goes the milking-pail.

A CuriOus Little Craft.

A curious little craft moored in the
Thames above Westminster Bridge,
London, England, has drawn many sight
seers in the last few days. 1t is small
steamer belonging to the Baptist Mission
ary Society, named the Goodwill, built
for service on the Congo, where the So
ciety for nine years had the steamer
Peace afloat. The vessel has been con-
structed by Messrs. Thorneycroft with
special reference to the fact that every
plate and bolt will have to be carried on
mems shoulders for distance of 230
miles over rough and hilly country
part of the cataract region of the lower
Congo-to Stanley's pool. The Good
will measures eighty feet in length, with
thirteen feet beam, weighs some twenty
tons, has three cabins, giving sleeping
accommodation for eight persons, and
with thirty tons of cargo on board will
draw only two feet of water Chicago

Horsehesh as an article of food is hav-
ing boom just now in Germany. In
Berlin it has recently trebled in price
and costs almost as much now as beef.
In what its advantages would consist if
it should become as expensive as beef it
is hard to see. Hitherto horsehesh has
been popular on account of its cheapness,
through which many people have been
able to purchase meat who otherwise
could not have afforded it. Its cheap
ness has also allowed many conscience
less dealers to double their money on
sausages and other minced viands of un-
known composition. 1t is noticeable that
a certain amount of sentiment still at
taches to the horse in Germany, to the
detriment OF his value as an edible ami.
NAL. A cavalry officer is being strongly
censured for having sold to the butchers
his war charger, on which he had ridden
at Sedan. "Perhaps," muses. the Chicago
Herald, "when America begins to pour
her droves of swine into Germany the
noble horse, whom it is little less than
cannibalism to eat, will again assume his
right position in the TeutonIc mind. 1t
would be a great thing for the American
hog if he could die to save the honor of
the German horse"

TWO MAIDENS.

A ladiie sailed out on calm blue sea;
And two maidens fell a-weeping.
'Alas,," said they,
"sTis doleful day,
Mayhap nevermore
To the sweet green shore
Shall lover to me
And brother to thee.
Shall lover to thee
And brother to me,
Come back from the treacherous, smiling
A good ship went down in wild, wild sea;
And two maidens fell a-weeping.
The years passed by,
And two cheeks were dry
A wife and mother, with babe on her knee,
Sat grooming tender old lullaby,
Nor thought Of the lover beneath the sea; -
But at eventide,
By lone fireside,
A sister sat weeping for him who had died,
Who came nevermore
To the bright green shore,
To wander with her the sweet meadows DER.

!. Dom Pedro is reported to be deeply
disappointed by the emphatic refusal of
the Brazilian Congress to grant him
leave to live in Brazil. The ex- x-Emper-
or's devotion to that country is touching,
and visitors say that the tears come into
his eyes every time Brazil is mentioned
in his presence. All that he asked was
the privilege of dying in Brazil and this
had been denied him.

The London Lancet denounces as
false the doctrine that abundant hair is
sign of bodily or mental strength in
man. 1t says that despite the Samson
precedent the Chinese are mostly bald,
yet they form the most enduring of
races. The average mad house furnishes
proof that long and thick hair is not a
sign of intellectually. The easily
wheedled Esau was hairy, while the
mighty Caesar was bald. Long haired
men are generally weak and fanatical,
and men with scant hair are the philoso-
pliers and statesmen and soldiers of the
world -

AS result of the increased interest in
agricultural colleges, Michigan has lost
fourteen college professors since May 1.
At least fifty per cent. of the graduates
of the State College at Lansing follow
agriculture as profession. In support
of the belief that the college has greatly
benefited the farming interests of Mich
igan, it is asserted that It's experiments
in the line of insecticides alone have
been of ten times greater benefit to the
farmers of the State than the entire cost
of the college.

Something Besides Money Gathering

"There are many merchants who have
been born and have lived and died in
New York City, and yet, by the mere
human standard of good, such merchants
might just as we'll have never been born.
Their great aim was to make money.
They lived but to do that, and they died
after having done it. Perhaps such mere
gatherers for self may have done good
by adding to the growth and the wealth
of the city. If so it is well. Other mer-
chants have not only gathered but they
have scattered with liberal hand, max
ing sunlight for all about them. The
history of these does good. 1t makes
names eminent and useful as examples. !"
