THE SNOW PLANT.
A Remarkable Flower That Grows
In the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

A Remarkable Flower That Grows
in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The most remarkable plant found
growing in the United States is that
fragile and paradoxical wonder, the
''snow plant" ofthe Sierra Nevada
mountains, says the Philadelphia
Press. 1t is known to the botanist as
Sarcodes sanguinea, meaning "bloody
or blooded flesh" Nothing in the
plant line was ever more exquisitely
beautiful than this rosy, snowtinted
botanical oddly, which has been
likened to a crowned hyacinth. It
grows to a height OF from 8 to 20
inches, each separate bract, sepal and
miniature bell being frosted as deli
cately as though done by the ice king
himself. Although the whole translu-
cent spike is flushed with rose and
carmine, the petals are the richest and
most brilliant parts of the flower,
which is tive-parted, each open bell
plainly disclosing the little frosted
stamens and pistils.
The Long expedition. one of whose
members was the original discoverer
OF Sarcodes, found one or two speci-
mems of the plant bearing eight perfect
flowers, one OF them having false
bulb 20 or more inches in diameter,
shaped like pineapple and as brittle
rs spun glass. Although this pseudo
bulb was hard to the touch it dried
up in few days until it was no larger
than the odd-looking, icicle-like stem
upon which it grew. Florticulturists
of the Pacific slope have made many
unsuccessful attempts to cultivate the
snow plant, the bulbs being too brit
tie to stand transplanting and the
seeds refusing to grow. Botanists
once gave it as their opinion that the
plant would not survive below the
line OF perpetual snow, but this idea
has lately been proved erroneous.
One thing is certain, however, it
makes it's early growth while covered
with many feet of snow, blooming as
soon as the icy covering is penetrated

The ex-Mme. Puiol grew so excited
that Seineport saw that he must
ether leave Saint Landry at once or
tell the story about Joacchino. OF
the two solutions the latter was the
one that cost him the least. He at
once related the whole history, and
produced, as proof of his statement,
the report made by the captain OF
the steamer an hour after the burial of
the unfortunate Pujol. This dismal
recital made the young wife tremble
at first; but she soon showed her
self very much relieved at learnisg
that her first husband, who oe
thought was a hundred yards frhn
her, slept his last sleep more thanh
thousand Leagues away.
Alter this explanation Their days
were no longer troubled, except by
Nine. Pujol when she returned to ST.
Landry, but calm was soon estab-
lished, for the good lady died the fol-
lowing year. The last words which
she uttered upon this earth were
evidently intended to be disagreeable.

the side OF my son. Nine. Seineport,
l imagine, does not care for the place

Her last wish was respected, and of
all Joacchino's astonishment, that
OF having his new neighbor was not
the least.

THE DOR TO THE HOUSE.

There were idle thoughts came in the door,
And warmed their little toes
And did more mischief about the house
Than any one living knows.
They scratched the tables and broke the
chairs.
And soiled the floor and wall
For motto was written above the door,
There's u welcome here for all"
When the master saw the mischief done,
He closed it with hope and fear,
And he wrote above, instead "Let none
Save good thoughts enter here"
And the good little thoughts came troop

Wien he drove the Others out
They cleaned the walls and they swept the
floor
And sang as they moved about.
And last ofall an angel came.
