Feeding Plants with Roast Beef.

There is something to a woman's mind
painfully notwithstanding in the discovery
that plants have distinct appetite for
flesh food, yet Mr. Francis Darwin has put
this beyond all doubt by feeding one plant
with roast meat and treating another in
the ordinary way, with the result that the
carnivorous plant not only produced 240
seeds to every 100 produced by the other,
but the seeds themselves were finer and
heavier. It was that now somewhat neg
lected philosopher, Sam Weller, who pro
pounded the sweeping theory that ''Naturs
rum 'un, and certainly this roast meat
idea is positively Gilbertian.
! hope the carnivorous tendencies OF
plants will never be cultivated to the
extent of involving such items in our.
butchers books as:
One pound gravy beef for roses. ...........S0 IL
Chump chop, II ounces, for orchids. 20
and a consequent serious money addition
to our household expenses. If it should,
and time should arrive when the resi-
dents in our Conservatives and window
gardens become connoisseurs and affect
plovers' eggs and quails, the outlook would
be truly alarming, and the only resource
left to us poor women would be to sacrifice
our love of flowers upon the altar Of econ
omy or to enter upon a retaliatory and self
defensive course of vegetarianism.-Chi

The Meade Claim,

The celebrated Meade claim is one of the
most remarkable known. More money has
been spent by the government i'll printing
documents relating to the case than the en-
tire sum demanded, which is S4OO,0O0
That amount was lent to Spain by Mr.
Meade. father of General Meade, to help
buy Florida. When the United States
purchased Florida from Spain. this coun
try agreed, as part of the bargain to as
sumo all debts outstanding on Florida's
account. OF such debts, that owed to Mr.
Meade was the principal one. 1t has never
been paid and never will be paid. because.
as one congressman said frankly. it is too
much cash to hand over in lump Spain
is willing to liquidate the claim if congress
gill declare formally that the United
States refuses to pay. but congress has not
acted on the proposition.-W Washington

Brave MaExmen.

The little fishing port of Peel, on the
west coast Of the Isle of Man, looks out on
the Irish sea. A rocky headland, called
Contrary head, iuts out south of the har-
Dor, while in front is a rugged island rock
Oh which stand the ruins of Peel castle. Ii
is perilous place for ships and g splendid
place for the display of the heroism of the
Manxmen
One afternoon in October, 1899, a Norwe-
gian ship in a fearful tempest was drift
ing upon Contrary head. All Peel was
down at the beach watching her The life
boat was got out, and there were so many
volunteers that the harbor master had no
difficulty in selecting crew.
The Norwegian had lost her masts and
the spars were floating around so that she
was dangerous to approach, but the life
boat reached her.
''How many of you?" cried the ccckswain
to the Norwegian captain.
Twenty-Five"
The cockswain counted them as they
hung on the ships side and said:
Il only see twenty-one; not a man shall
leave the ship until you bring the odd one
on deck"
The odd one, disabled man, had been
left below to his fate. He was brought up,
and all were taken aboard the lifeboat
and safely landed on the beach. The Nor
wegian government struck medals for the
iifeboat men and sent them to the governor
of the island for distribution.-Ex

The Mouth.

The mouth is the front door to your face.
1t is the aperture to the cold storage room
Of your anatomy. Some mouths are tile
pictures of peaches and cream and others
look like hole chopped in Il brick wall to
admit a new door or window. The mouth
is the hotbed of toothache and the place to
keep your tongue. Most persons never carry
their tongues in their coattail pockets.
A mouth WAS never made too small, but
some are SO large that their owners put
their feet in them. 1t is the doorway out
of which come beautiful words of hope and
courage, and through which pass cold
custard and kraut and cod liver oil. Some
people sleep with heir mouths adjusted for
kissing.
The mouth is the bunghole of oratory
and a baby's browning glory. 1t is the
crimson aisle to your liver and natures ap-
paratus for blowing out the gas 1t is
patriotisms fountain head and the tool
chest for pie. Without it the politician
would be a wanderer upon the face of the
earth, and the cornetist and chorus girls
go down to unhonored graves. 1t is the
grocer's friend, the orators pride and the
dentists hope.
p 1t puts some men on the rostrum and
many on the rock pile. 1t is temptations

and the tobacconist's friend when attached
to a man.
Without it the torchlight procession
would be dumb and lifeless thing, and
when the political hero advanced to the
front of the platform the audience would
have to stand on their heads to show their
delight Without it married life would be
perpetual summer dream and the dude
would lose half his attraction, and most of
all, and greatest of all. if there were no
mouths there would be no goodbys or hap
Ply greetings, no words of comfort or of
hope, no laughter full of sunshine and no
song full of praise, the hired man could
not be called to dinner and no one would
ask, where did you get that hat ?"-Ar

I smiled sheepishly, saying, ''Oh, dear

store. While was buying hat an urbane
salesman rendered the paper to me, with:
"a lady left this just now. She said you
dropped it."
"Oh, thank you so much" said l.
Then left it on the counter. They sent

Sea Necklaces.

Pretty nearly every one has seen The curl
Gus 'sea ruffies," or ''sea necklaces" which
are found plentifully on ocean beaches
These are the egg cases of the sea snails.
They consist of number of small disk
shaped envelopes attached along sort of
stem, the biggest of them being in the
middle. In each envelope there is a little
spot of thinner material, which the youns
break through when they are ready to be
Matched. When the female gasteropod is
about to lay she buries herself in the sand,
from the surface of which the meek lace
of eggs is gradually extruded Being thus

Grass Under Trees,

plants have been named as being adapted for

mon periwinkle is one of the best known
another excellent thing is sonic of the

thing is the japanese honeysuckle. 1t

A WREATH OF ROSES.


Idly the maiden's fingers weave
A cleaning crown of roses red,
And singing soft the while. she lays
The fragrant burden on her head.
For their swift death she does not grieve.
Nor sorrow Ger such sweetness fled.
AS threading sunny woodland ways
She listens for her lovers tread.
Enwrapped in bliss her soul reposes;
ALL little she recks Of the griefs Of roses.
Alas! the fairest hopes deceived
She cannot dream what power dread.
With hand uplifted. by her stays,
To pluck her in the roses stead!
Zen while her breast with love doth heave
She droops amid the blossoms dead;
And to our dim. affrighted gaze,
Despair. of helpless terror bred,
An awful unknown fate discloses,
To whom girls no more than roses.

Destruction Of Germs in WAITER.

The sterilizing of water is easily accom-
plished by keeping it at or near the boiling
point for fifteen minutes. Five minutes
heat is sufficient to destroy ali harmful mi
Gro organisms. Still less time suffices to de
stroy the disease producing varieties which
are recognized as liable to occur in water.
Thus, merely raising to the boiling point
clear water containing the micro-organ-
isms of malarial disorders, typhoid, cholera,
diphtheria, or of suppurative processes and
allowing it to gradually cool, insures the
destruction of these germs. They are also
destroyed by keeping the water for from
a quarter to half an hour at temperature
OF ITO dogs F., though occasionally very
resistant but harmless bacteria may get
into water. The brief heating, however,
renders them safe for drinking purposes;
but when it is desired to destroy every
micro-organism that may be present in
contaminated water it is to be heated for
one hour and allowed to cool slowly, when
it may be used for cleansing wounds or for
alkaloidal solutions.-New York Tribune.
