Fossil Flowers in Maine.

Rev NJ. R. Keep, who, according to
the Daily Eastern Argus, is one of the
best informed local geologists in
Aroostook county, says that rare
fossil is found in the limestone of that
county. "The most wonderful deposit
of fossils" he says, 'in the world, per
haps, is found at Square lake, near
Fort Kent of the old Silurian age;
biologists from different countries
finding forty or fifty different species
of trilobites, the most abundant, how
ever, is the encrinite, or water lily of
that primeval age. Large masses of
rock are made up of the stems of these
lilies. The bloom and buds of these
lilies are seldom found, but full bloom
ing head of the encrinite was lately
found at Square lake by James Bolton,
of Presque Isle. This is the first have
ever heard OF being found in this re-
gion- The stone fossil is like a medi-
um-sized blooming rose"

Only a Mustard Seed.

Many a reader of the Bible has puz-
zled over the allegation that thing so
insignificant as a grain of mustard
Seed when planted, sprang up and be-
came a plant in whose branches the
birds of the air found shelter. The
ordinary mustard plant, foot or two
in height, could not by any stretch of
imagination be thought capable of
sheltering even the smallest of birds.
But when one sees the vast mustard
fields of California, the biblical ac-
count is easily understood. The mus
tard plant of California shoots up a
dozen or fifteen feet in height. A
horseback rider is easily lost in the
thicl1et, while the branches of the
great plants can, and do at times, af-
ford shelter for thousands of the
feathered tribes.

Glass and Gold.

At one time glass surpassed gold not
only in value as a material, but in
forms of vases and drinking vessels,
an article of the kind was considered
a worthy present for king. 1t is to
the later Greeks and Romans that we
are indebted for the finest work Of the
kind. Colored glasses were generally
preferred to glass of only one color
for carving; and at the present time
cameo work upon a ground of differ
ent color is growing in favor of the
educated and wealthy at home and
abroad. To England is due the honor
of reviving the art of carving glass.

The "Cursed Flower of India"

The Erythrina indica, beautiful
flower Of the basil family, which
grows wild in India, is supposed to be
under a curse, and although the bloom
is perfection itself both in odor and
color, no true Hindoo would touch it

ally grew in the Garden of India"
in the center of heaven, where it
was hourly worshipped by all the
denizens of that blessed abode. Krish-
ma stole it and broughtit to earth, but
all who worshipped at its shrine after
that event died before they could
leave the spot. On this account indica

An enterprising grocer has discov-

to secure and retain the custom of all
the servant girls in his neighborhood.
He bought at the price of waste paper
a large quantity of yellow-covered
penny dreadfuls, and uses the single
sheets for wrapping purposes in such
manner as will enable the girl after a
certain amount of trade to secure the
complete story. Some very strange
dialogues can be heard in the store
The following will suffice for example:

missus did not know the value of the

A PIRATES POWER,
Tho Talented Lafitte and His Control Owe,
His Men.

Inc ialented Lafftte and His Control Over
His Men.
II recently met survivor of Pirate
La6tte's band of freebooters." said
Thomas Haines, once lieutenant in
the United States navy. He was a
tough-looking specimen and must have
been we'll past eighty years of age, for
it is more than sixty years since LATTE
had his headquarters on Galveston
island and preyed upon the commerce
of the gulf. The relic of those half
forgotten times was an inmate of a
Jersey City charitable institution and
and was not much inclined to discuss
bygones He said, however, that La
htte was a very handsome Frenchman,
more than six feet in height, well made
and possessed of wonderful talents an
commander. He ruled the toughest
lot OF men ever congregated on one
island as though they were flock of
lambs. Occasionally lawless spirit
would rebel, however, but his days
thenceforth were brief and full of
trouble. Every woman who came is
contact with Lafitte fell in love with
him, and he was as safe among his
female friends in New Orleans as on
Galveston island surrounded by his
armed buccaneers According to his
survivor, prominent lawyer once gave
LATTE offense and he made pilgrim
age to the city to kill him but changed
his method of revenge and persuaded
his enemy's handsome young wife to
elope with him. According to this an
Gent chronicler, several well-known
people in South Texas and Louisiana
are descendants of Laftte's piratical
crew and a few of his female COM
panions are still living in that section
