Do Some PlNnts Seel

Lady Boushey, Miss Thornwill and
maids, of England, registered at the
Richelieu yesterday, and went out to the
stock yards before the ink of their names
had dried. Lady Boughey is a prepos-
sessing, amiable lady. She has been
travelling around the world, and is
especially devoted to botany. Talking
about her pet subject, she said
"Do you know that plants can see?
Well, they can. Darwin in his book on
plants ventures an opinion that plants
have eyes, and ! have proved to my own
satisfaction that he is correct. When in
Japan, a few weeks ago, was sitting
under shady tree looking at a bright
convulvulus. Its tendrils were leaning
in direction opposite to me. While
dreaming | was startled to see that they
were turning toward my tree. re-
manned quiet. In an hour the tendrls
had all turned so they faced me. This
was early. After breakfast / told Miss
Thornwill of my discovery, and we went
out in the yard to further inspect the
plants and their movements. To my
disgust the tendrls had turned their
backs upon my tree. We got little
stick and placed it foot from the nearest
branch of the plant In quarter or an
hour the tendrils began to squirm. The
upper tendrils bent down and the side
ones curved their tiny necks until they
reached the stick. In two hours they
had completely entwined it. It was on
the side away from the light, and il the
plants had not the faculty they never
would have seen the stick and moved
toward it. Chicago Herald.

country's history has passed to his long

of death was fatty degeneration of the
heart, and although he has been at the
head of the navy, holding position Gre

"A Military Funeral.
Immediately after Gen. Sherman's deatb
Gen. Howard and Gen Slocum. who
were ON the generals staff, were sent for.
Some two weeks ago the general made
known his wishes as to his burial. He
particularly requested that his BODY
should not lie in state anywhere He also
requested that the funeral be a strictly mil
itary one. He said that he did not care
particularly for any military observances
here in New York, but that he did want
military burial in st. Louis, which
would be participated in by his old com.
panions in arms. lie also requested that
the funeral rites be not in conformity with
any particular form of religion. He vans
ed a soldiers burial.
Ats o'clock Saturday evening the de-
tail of soldiers who are TO guard the re-
remains arrived. The detail consisted of
corporal, two sergeants and six privates
from Battery M, First United States artil-
lery, stationed at Governor island. The
detail was under command of Lieut.. Rod
man.
The arrangements for the funeral We're
not completed yesterday. Gems. Slocum,
Howard and Buttcrfield consulted with
the family about the funeral. IL was de-
cided that whatever services were held
should be at o'clock on Thursday after
noon at the house, and that they should
not last more than one hour. The fam
lily wished them to he even shorter. A par
tial programme for the military was
made. Gen. Sherman's body will be buried
in n plain oaken casket, covered with
black cloth and lined with satin. There
will be polished silver bars on each side,
and on top silver plate bearing only the
name and dates of birth and death.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
lions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

good luck one day last summer while
fishing up in the Maine woods. and his
joy overflowed in telegram to his wife
like this: I've got one. Weighs seven
pounds and is a beauty In reply came
the following, signed by Mrs. Bates: 80

beauty. Looks like yon." 1t was more
than ten words, but Roddy forgave her.

and she had caller in the person of an
old darby who had seen at least seventy
nve years of all sorts of weather. He
was blind in one eye, humpbacked and
lame, and he didn't look able to lift a
peck of potatoes. After some general

and said:
