The jumping Bean .

One of the curious products of Next
co, says the Boston Budget, is the
jumping bean, vegetable curiosity,
whose freaks of acrobatic ability have
never been fully explained by the sci
cntists. They grow in pods, each pod
containing three beans. Each segment
is rounded on one side and A-shaped ON
the other, greenish-yellow in color,
a large lead pencil. When placed on a
table they roll over and skip about,
sometimes actually jumping good
two inches. When held between the
thumb and forefinger they are felt to
beat as strongly as the throbbing Of =

ROB RoY'S SWORD.

II Was Celebrated because II Once BE-
Ionged to Highland Chieftain.
That is what saw tho other day. II
was the kind of sword formerly used by
the Scotch Highlanders. and which they
called a claymore. 1t was very long
and heavy. The sheath was of dark.
brown leather, worn and broken with
age.
The reason why this sword is famous
is that it belonged To a man who was
very celebrated in his time. Ills name
was Robert MacGreyor. but he is always
called Rob Roy. The word Roy means
red, and was applied to him on account
Of his red hair. Rob Roy was not very
tall, but he was very strong. as you
may suppose from the fact of his having
used such sword. This sword was olG
in Rob's time. for it had belonged to hi.
father before him.
Rob Roy was Highland chief. ano
the greater part of his life was spent ir
war He died about one hundred ane
fifty years ago. and during his lifetime
Scotland was in SO unsettled state
that men were forced To spend great
deal Of time in fighting 10 maintain THEN

Rob was brave man. and although
he was u warrior, nc was not cruel, anc
was very good To the poor.

much. and when they do quarrel have
better ways of settling their dispute,
than by going to war.-Christian al

tea without having been previously in

girl received her small guests very
kindly. but She was not prepared to en-

to set plain rcpast before them.
She made some slight apology for the
plainness of the meal. when Katie, one
of the little guests, feeling that it was
incumbent on her to say something pc

MISUNDERSTANDING.

Benny had pet hen. He gave her

He talked to her, and the hen talked,
too-in her way. She laughed also
when she laid an egg SO Benny said.

Just as he got to the haystack he fell
and hurt his nose.
Old Topknot flew out of the hay close
by, and ran away laughing because his
nose was hurt. Benny was vexed. lie
did not feed her corn or crumbs for q
whole day, and Topknot ran away
every time she saw him. They both
felt very unhappy. Benny told his
mother.
She said: .You have had a misunder.

were filled with crowded, surging mass
of humanity.
While there was no disorder lin the full
sense of the world in the streets men,
toned, the jam of people coming in from
the intersecting streets when the pro-
cession started was something terrific.
Strong man and weak women were swept
along by the human tidal wave until they
were brought to a standstill by the crowds
that had already had possession of every
inch of available standing room. On Pine
st. twas estimated that there were gathered
over 100000 people. This is one of the
principal streets of st. Louis, and is lined
on both sides with handsome residences.
Many of these houses were decorated
with mourning emblems, and displayed
flags at half staff from the windows. The
broad asphalt pavement of the street was
swept clean.
Marching through Pine St, over this
pavement, the magnificence of the military
display was best seen. Truly it was just
what the old hero wsnted-a military
funeral. The very magpificence of the pro-
cession made it the more impressive. The
heavy rumble OF the artillery, the clatter
of cavalry horses hoofs on the pavement
mingled with the clank and jingle of sabre
and spur, and the steady tramp, tramp of
the infantry as the column passed, made
the on-looker think of war and Its pictur-
esque as well as grim features; but as his
eve saw the embloms OF mourning on
sleeve and banner, and the reversed arms
of the infantry, he was brought face to
face with the sad reality and the signi1i-
canoe of all the display.
Straight out Pine-st. for over two miles
the procession marched. Then it wheeled
into Grand-ave., where there was a Tepeti-
ton of crowded streets and decorations of
mourning. From Grand-ave the head OF
the long column turned left into Floris-
sant-ave., which runs by the west entrance
to Calvary cemetery.
There were fewer residences on Floris-
sant-ave., but no elimination in the
number of spectators was noticeable.
Clear up to the cemetery entrance the
throng on each side of the thrOughfare
extended and in the cemetery were many
more people.
All along the entire line OF march the
greatest reverence was manifested by the
thousands OF spectators. As the caisson
bearing the casket would approach all
talking would cease, heads were uncov-
cred and this mark of respect continued
until the coaches containing the mourning
family had passed.
