Perfume in Plants.

A German botanist, Mr.. Regel, has
made public the result of his researches
as to the causes of the perfumes of
plants, and the factors which diminish
or increase them. Light and heat nat
urally play very important role. Dark
ness prevented the development of per-
fume in flowers of which the buds were
only slightly advanced when submitted
to its influence, and even the plants
whose flowers exhaled perfume only at
night, lost their odor if compelled to live
in continued darkness. Boston Tran

OPTICS


Bachelor at forty five,
Free am the world to roam
Ask me why do mot wive,"
Why have no home?
Has my heart no tenderness,
Have sworn to hate the fair2
IT'S not that love them less.
Love not one, but more.
Once there was pair of eyes,
Eyes OF soft and beaming gray.
In whose depths loved to gaze,
Loved their gentle ray.
But between me and the gray,
Passed two orbs of blacklist night,
Turned me from the first away,
With their witching light.
Here would have bowed the knee,
Sworn allegiance true,
But there CHANGED to beam on me
Eyes of deepest blue.
They were brighter than the gray,
Softer than the black, ween,
Black the starlight; blue the day;
Gray the twilight seem.
Black and blue and tender gray.
Ye are all divine to me;
would wed you all today
Could marry three.
But could not choose at all,
Which should grace my bridal homo.
This is why at forty-five,
Bachelor roam.

reared frightened out of its senses by the

sent the creature reeling to one side. The

Killed by a Track Walker in Texas With

STELLA, Tex, May 25.-Mike Donovan, a
track-walker employed by the Southern
Pacific railroad and in charge of the section
here, was recently attacked by a large pan
Their, and only with much difficulty sue
ceeded in killing the beast. Donovan,
armed only with o Ratchet and wrench, was
engaged in his daily inspection of the track,
and had reached a part bordered on one
side by a dense thicket of post oaks, when
his attention was attracted by a %rustling in
the underground. The next moment he
was startled by the panther hurting itself
upon him. The attack was 60 unexpected
that the man staggered and fell under the
creatures weight, but managed to deal it a
blow with his hatohet, which, with
out %wounding it severely, caused it
hoarse cry. Donovan had only time to
scramble to his feet, however, before the
panther returned to the attack, screaming
fearfully. He met it with uplilted Ratchet,
and cut it deeply about the head and
shoulders, but the Infatuated creature,
though bathed in blood, appeared only the
more determined IN It's animosity, and
sprang upon its foe with such force as to
again fell him to the earth, when it en-
deavored to fix upon his throat. Unfortu-
nately for the man. the panthrr's assault
had knocked his Ratchet from his arasp as
he fell, leaving him with bare hands to
grapple with the snarling. maudenel ami
NAL tearing at him with dIstended claws.
and sutfocating him with it's fetid breath
as Its gaping mouth strained at his tn oat.
1t was only by the exertlon of his utmost
strength that he was able to retain his
grasp on the panther's throat and SO pre-
vent it from getting Mt his own, but a new
horror confronted him as they struggled
madly over the pebble s:rewn roaubed.
The panther had thrown him across the
track, and in spite OF his frantic forts to
to throw it off, held him with his back
across the rail.
The shrill whistle of the afternoon train
warned him of tho approach of a horrible
death, and literally. sick with terror, he ex-
erted himself with a strength born of des-
peration, and succeeded for n moment in so
crushing the panther's throat that the beast,
gssplng for breath, ~relinquished its hold
sufilclently to enable him to roll to one side
and off the track. Before he could rise,
however. the panther fell upon him again,
as they closed in their deadly embrace
the long train swept by. Donovan says that
| 80 close were they to the track that the heat
