Curious Plants.

Mr.. l.. Gillen has genuine curl

bananas. 1t is the first and only
banana tree we ever heard of, either
in this city or county, bearing fruit.
lie has a number of other banana
trees, but none bearing fruit save this
one. The leaves are long and slender,
aud the motion of the winds causes
the leaf to cut in two like ribbons.

open it mnch resembles a red water

of which were measured by Messrs.
Robert Davis and James Wentworth,
who found them to be 30xi3 inches.

Most Terrible Spiders.

West Africa possesses the most ter
rible of spiders, being SO foul and
malignant that no reptile compares
with it for horrors. 1t dwells in the
woods, but Ly one chance or another
it too often finds its way into dwell
ings. This is called the tarantula;
with legs spread, it covers dinner
place, clothed in pretty fur very like
a tabby cats. Its beak is the shape of
parrots, and the size Of sparrow's;
the venom of it fatal to women and
children--often to strong men, as the
natives say. Its paws end in suckers
clinging so tight that they must be
picked off when the legs have been
cut away. They say that the brute
springs great distance, and alights
with its suckers together in bunch;
the frighiful beak is inserted quick as
thought, and no human strength can
move that hideous eXcrescencc.
1t seems unlikely that creature
which has no claws, but holds on by
expelling the air under its feet, could
jump; but, after studying the taran-
tula one inclines to believe any iend-
ish habit attributed to il. A magni-
ficent but comparatively harmless
spider Of the West Coast, almost as
big, spins a web twelve feet or more
in diameter SO strong as to incon-
yicnce the traveller who walks into it.

As We Go Through the Land.

Sing, and the cares that vex YOU
Take wing and fly away;
Smile, and the shsdows vanish
That ofGen mar the day.
Laugh, and forget the trouble
You've brooled over .ong.
o, there's magic in a smile, dear
There's power in song,
Life has It's sunny side, dear,
As those who look may find.
But those who brood o'er trouble
Are often strangely blind.
They will not see lifes sunshinet
They smile not when they may,
And thus they miss the joys, dear,
God scatters through each day.
Look always for life's bright side
Enjoy as best you can
The sunshine of the present;
Keep faith in God ard man.

Reach out willing hand,
And make men happier, better,

York-fer no more vivid scenes Of con-
trasting human emotions could ever be
conceived by brain of artist. I do not
mean that 1 would spend my time over
the hull and rigging of the ocean mon
ster, for it changes not, whether it is
seen lying in the Mersey Or snugly har-
bored at it's New York dock, but would
try to put on canvas the faces of the
vast throng which crowds the deck.
There, at Liverpool, old associations
are newly broken and the wounds are
fresh, eyes are red with weeping and
hearts are wrung with the pangs of
parting from the friends of a lifetime.
But here, the restful voyage has done
it's healing, and hope and gladness IL
lumine every countenance, for the land
of promise is reached, and sluggish in
deed must be his nature whose spirit
does not thrill with the expectancy of
the new life. Even the cabin passen-
gers, who have no battle before them,
forget their languid ways and catch some
of the enthusiasm of their hum bier fellow
voyagers, and some of them are Ameri-
cans, who have been for a scamper
through Europe, rejoicing to get back
to their own beautiful shores and sunny
skies.
Such q scene fascinated Mrs Evesham
as she stood with her daughter Kate
on the gangway of the Northern Star,
gazing with amused wonder at the busy
crowd swarming over the vessel like
bees in hive.
She had come to meet Number SKIS

Through the courteous interference of
an official who had been attracted by
their gentle bearing they were among
the first to set foot on the deck of the
steamer. Mrs. Evesham had not
brought Alice with her, for she had
thought it best to leave her at home to
supervise hospitable preparations for
the reception of the young lady, who
in her bereavement would need their
tenderest solicitude.
They were rather helpless couple
in such an emergency, but they pressed
bravely through the crowd to the
stewards cabin, where they found a
goOd-natured, voluble little man re-
ceiving dilatory fees and bidding CRATE
full adieux to his gracious patrons.

their solicitations.

had ordered the room where the body
lay to be undisturbed until the arrival
of the proper officials; and that it had
remained in that condition until the
photographer the coroner had sent
came to take the portrait Of the dead
gentleman.
At this point in her evidence there
was much interest manifested by the
coroner, who Indignantly denied having
sent anyone for any such purpose, and
who was egged on to ask multiplicity
of questions by a little sharp-featured
man who sat at his elbow. What sort
of man was he? What kind of hair
had he? What was his height? The
color of his eyes? What did he say?
How long was he there? Where did he
go when he left? Should she recognize
him If she saw him again? And when
she had in a very detected and unsatis-
factory manner gone through this cate
chetical torture she was rated for her
indiscretion in admitting him without
proper credentials, and stepped down
from the witness-stand with Mortified
feeling that she had violated every law
of the decalogue.
Mrs. Evesham's servants, the pre-
vious landlady of the house, the waiter
at the restaurant where the deceased
generally took his meals, the barber
who shaved him, the laundress who
washed his clothes, and even the boy
who BACKED his boots were hunted up
and questioned, but none of them had
ever heard him drop a word which
would afford them any clew to his an
tecedents.
Though his room was searched by
skilled detectives, not scrap of paper
was there to give a trace Of his iden-
tity, not even a bridesmaids &C
count with his name on it. A small
roll of bills, barely sufficient to pay the
expenses of his funeral, was discovered
in his waistcoat pocket, and massive
gold watch and many valuable trinkets
lay in their accustomed places, but
without initial or crest upon them.
Even his linen, which was of the best
quality, was unmarked.
But the cup of Mrs. Evesham's
troubles was filed to the brim when
on the following morning the Daily
Herald served up it's readers a sensa-
tional account of the tragedy under
