north and south. The peculiar pro-
pensity of the foliage of this plant
is attributed to the fact that both
surfaces of it's leaves display an
equal receptivity for light. All the
other known varieties of it's class
are characterized by the presence on
the lower surface of their leaves of
from twice to thrice as many res
piratory vessels as are contained on
the upper surface, which is, there
fore, the most sensitive of the two
to the influence of light. But both
surfaces of the compass plant are
clothed alike, with an epidermis ex-
ceptionally receptive of light; and
the same instinct of its leayes that
prompts them to require an equal
distribution of light upon either
surface, causes them to assume a
vertical position, and to point their
edges due north and south. Travel
ers on dark nights are said to feel
the edges of the leaves, to ascertain
the points of the compass, when nc
means are available for helping
them on their way.-St. Louis Post.

The Rustic's Reply.

Jenny Hurst was rustic whose
peculiarities were sufficiently marked
to furnish amusement for all the
coarse wits of the period. On one
occasion he was invited to dine at
the house of a lord whose nephew
was also visiting him. This young
man Immediately conceived the idea
of amusing himself at the expence
of Jenny. So next day at the
meet for the hunt, he said to a
guest:
Lets quiz the old fellow"
"By all means, dear boy" re-
piled the other; "but take good care
you do not get the worst of it"
When Jenny came up, the dan
dy bowed low and said:
Good morning, Father Joseph"

answered the rustic.

a table.

Strong as Samson

Perhaps the most remarkable
man, physically, the country ever
produced was Jack Holsack, fiat
boatman well known OH the Ohio
thirty-fve or forty years ago. Jack
stood six feet six inches without
shoes, and weighed $50 pounds.
He was muscled like Hercules,
and used to boast that he was the
strongest animal of his weight
in the Ohio Valley. He was SIM
ple-hearted, good-natured fellow and
would not hurt fly. The stories
told of his feats of physical strength
resemble the miraculous perform
ances Of Samson. Like the story
of the three black crows, they prob
ably gained something by repeti-
ton, but it is pretty hard to say
what is impossible to 25O pounds of
perambulating spring steel. 1t is
said that he once visited menag-
erie in Cincinnati, where a man =
eating tiger was on exhibition, and
after listening to the descriptions
Of its strength and ferocity given by
the animal lecturer, offered to enter
the cage stark naked and "whip the
tiger out of it's boots for a gallon
jug of whisky" AS the proposition
was made at the top of his stenor-
like lungs, before tent full of peo-
pie, the circus manager could not
well decline. 1t was arranged that
the gladiator act should take place
after the night performance, the
women and children being dismissed.
jack, half-drunk and as naked as a
Greek God, bounced into the cage
and grabbed the royal beast of Ben
gal by the back of the head. 1t
emitted an ugly growl, and Jack
slammed it up against the side of
the cage with a violence that bent
the heavy iron bars. Instead of
proceeding to make a meal of the
intruder, the man-eater covered
down in a corner of its cage. Jack
grabbed it by the tail, dragged it
around the cage, and then, to the
horror Of the spectators, threw open
the door, pulled it out into the cir
Gus ring and rolled it in the saw
dust. Now, a tiger that has been
reared in cage and fed OH cold
potatoes and stale meat is very
different brute from one reared in
an Asiatic Jungle; still, it is hardly
likely that any of the distinguished
pugilists now posing before the
public would care to tackle even a
circus tiger.

Rats that Catch Eggs.

and climbed nimbly up box about
a foot high, used in covering pipes,
and from that to the tray under the
counter where the glasses are wash

they went, and then to the top of

dropped it over and it was caught
by the rat beneath, who in turn
gave it to the one beneath him
This rat jumped down and rolled
the egg under the soda fountain
In this manner they carried down
six eggs in exactly one minute
when, thinking the fun expensive

dozen if I'll let them," said the
clerk, "and we have to keep then

Then the brothers appear no more.
