says the Ladies' Home Journal A
girl needs 10 know how TO spell and
punctuatc letter. besides being able
To correct one that IL wrong gram
matically. She must be possessed OF
tssst rare and priceless qualification

ing, and she should have an average
amount OF intelligence. No prodigy
Is required.
As TO wages, the average young
girl cannot expect 10 be paid as much
as the average man. IL IL hard 90 say
why this Is so. for she Is almost always
just AS capable. A young woman. for
instance. will get ten or twelve dollars
a week. where a young man OF the
same calibre will receive from fifteen
90 twenty dollars. Perhaps there Is
an indeilnable feeling among employ
ers that they can not exact so much
from woman as they can from n
man. A man will often be required
TO do great deal OF miscellaneous
work In connection with shorthand
and typcwrlting which would never
be imposed on woman.
But there can be no doubt that there
Is stillroom for those who will take
the trouble To properly equip them
selves for the work. Tho remunera-
ton Ii ample for the needs OF the
average girl. and greatly In excess OF
that paid for other kinds OF clerical
work.

The Wonderful Plant Found In Tasmania and
New Zealand.

Ono OF the queerest things OF Tas-
mania, New Zealand. and other parts
OF Australasia Is the bulrush. or yege-
table caterpillar. This wonderful
plant is fungus. sphaeria. which
grows seven or eight inches above the
ground. generally ia single stem.
round. aud thickly covered with brown
seed for some five o. six inches. ending
in curved. worm-like point II is
usually found growing at the roots OF
particular tree, the rata OF the
natives. When this plant is pulled up
its single root Is found TO be the exact
counterpart OF a large caterpillar. say
one. three. or four inches long; but
although IL preserves every detail OF
such grubs, dissection proves it to be
solid wood. Intelligent persons OF
the countries named above say that
this curiosity is formed in the following
m.nner: A large species OF moth
feeds on the rata" tree; tho grub OF
this moth burrows in the ground the
seed OF the spaeria gets lodged between
the scales on the grub's neck. strikes
root, aud completely turns the interior
Of the creature into a woody substance.
In every case the she'll OF the grub Is
left Intact no small rootlets puncturing
il at any point. Scientists say that
the above explanation is all .bosh. =
and that the plant develops the form
OF y caterpillar because it is its nature
to do so. IL this be true. why should
we laugh at the stories OF the Mandrake
Man and the Seythian Lamb. speci-
mems OF which are preserved in the
Surgeons museum, London.
