Spanish LRzImeas.

"One reason for the existence of the
tremendous trees in California is the
averseness of the Spaniards to telling
trees or cutting live timber of any Sort"
said G. A. Satterlee of Los Angeles, CAL,
ut the Southern. "The Spaniards, you
know, two centuries ago pushed their
way through Mexico to California, and
save the clearing OF paths through
the dense forests not twig did
their axes chop down. Nor do the
Spaniards transplanted to this continent
ever destroy timber. With stubborn
pertinaciousness strangely at variance
with their lethargic dispositions they con-
tinue to build their houses of stone and
mortar at great expense of money and
physical exertion when timber in album
dance surrounds them out of which they
could construct log houses, as did other
pioheers, at minimum of cost and labor.
Why, the Spaniard doesn't even fell trees
for firewood, but picks up dead limbs as
they fall to the ground, or pulls them from
the tree with his lariat. Globe Demo-

Nc Ua- rar Railroad. :.

Senator Stanford has taken lately to
exercising by walking up and down the
block on Connecticut avenue. On one Of
the last walks he took before sailing for
Europe he met poor man whom he bad
helped freely on former occasions. The
senator stopped Tom and asked him how
he was getting along.
Pretty we'll, Mr.. Stanford" replied
Tom, " but it. is mighty hard work; we
just manage to keep out of the poor
house."
"How many children have you got
now, TOMB"
"Ten, sir, think" said Tom,
81 tell you what, Tom," responded the
senator, "you give me one of the. ten to
bring up and I'll give you railroad in
exchange" Tom looked delighted for a
minute, then scratched his head with a
puzzled air.
Well" prompted the senator, "what
do you say to that"
Tom looked embarrassed, but stam-
mered out: DWELL, now, don't want tc
be disobliging, Mr.. Stanford, but while
you might know what to do with baby

English D.o.p.ions.

Many years ago, in . certain very pic
turesque locality in Devonshire, where
the hills are exceedingly steep, it was at
tempted to establish among the inhabit-
ants case Of goitre. This little ailment
Is supposed only to occur in mountainous
countries, and 1t was naturally thought
1t would be an excellent advertisement OF
the place, so far as the hills were con-
cerned, to produce such a proof of their
precipitous character. 1t turned out to
be an ordinary throat disease, which I'M
fortunately yielded to remedies; but the
idea was ingenious, and, as only too often
happens, 1t has been borrowed.
In an excellent hotel, where some lady
friends of mine were staying the other
day, in June, and where is supposed to be
a summer resort, they found the wind in
the northeast, the snow only just being
30 good as not to fall, fire necessary in
the sitting room, and the chambermaid

she had the audacity to say was a

preposterous. Moreover. the landlady

An Animal Flower.

The inhabitants of st. Lucia, have lately
discovered a most wonderful plant. 1t
grows in a cavern in an immense basin OF
brackish water that has overtiowed from
the sea. The bottom of the basin is
covered with pebbles and each pebble
with from one to five of these plants,
which, for want of better name, are
termed "animal flowers" ~.
These curious creatures, which are in
all shades of colors, remind one OF beau
tiful flower bed. To the sight they are
perfect flowers, but on the approach of a
hand or a stick they retire out of sight.
Close examination shows that the middle
of the flower-like disc is provided with
four filaments which move around the
petals" with a brisk, spontaneous mo-
ton. Each Of these filaments is provided
with pinchers for seizng prey, says the
Philadelphia Press. ~
They live upon the spawn of fish and
marine insects. Whenever the pincher
moves the filaments make "catch," the
petals Immediately close, and there is nc

AduItorated Licorice,

The stick licorice imported from Eu-
rope is rarely pure. Most of it comes
from Spain, where it is adulterated to an
almost incredible degree. The chief
adulterant is common and cheap gum
obtained from acacia, which grows in
great abundance in Morocco and along
the west coast OF Sahara, and is called
Barbara gum. But this is not the only
substance used, for starch, -four and even
sand are employed in such quantities that
some OF the cheap grades of licorice have
only one- half their weight composed of
the material they purport to contain.
