Queer Visiting Cards.

Many are the uses to which the cactus
is put, but one of the queerest is that
which prevails in Cape Town, South Afri-
ca, where cactus leaves are made to serve
the purpose of visiting cards. 1t might
occur to the reader that package of thick
leaves covered with prickly spines would
not be easily accommodated in an ordi-
nary cardcase.
The leaves of the special kind of cactus
used for this purpose are not very prickly,
however, and Furthermore these unique
cards are not carried about, but are left
growing on the plant which stands at the
foot of the front steps. When lady
calls, she has only to take hatpin from
her bonnet and scratch her name on the
glossy surface of the leaves, while gentle
man accomplishes the same end with his
sharp penknife. The lines thus scratched
turn silver white and remain clear and
distinct on the leaf for years.
On New Years day these cactus cards
are particularly convenient, and popular
hOstesses often appropriate large branch
of their cactus plant to the registry of Wis
It's received on that day.
There is one cactus, which is not espe-
cially plentiful, which not only has
smooth leaves, but has spines so large and
stiff that they make excellent pens, and
visitors are saved even tho slight trouble
of drawing out hatpin or II penknife-

A certain pompous lady, after teasing
the shopman of millinery establishment
beyond the forbearance limit, pompously
ordered spool of cotton to be sent to her
house. 1t was agreed she should be made
an example of and warning to her kind.
She was surprised, and her neighbors
intensely interested, soon after she arrived
home. A common dray, drawn by four
horses, proceeded slowly to her door. On
the dray, with bare arms, were n number
of stalwart laborers. They were holding
on vigorously to some object she could
not see. 1t was most puzzling affair.
The neighbors stared. After n deal of
whip cracking and other impressive cere-
monies the cart was backed against the
curb. There, reposing calmly, end up, In
the center of the cart was the identical
spool of cotton she had ordered. With the
aid of plank it was finally rolled, barrel
fashion, to the pavement. After mortal
struggle it was upended on the purchaser s
doorstep. The fact that the purchaser
came out little later and kicked her prop
erty into the gutter detracted nothing
from it.-London Million.

Two queer looking creatures sat at a
cafe table slipping their coffee One of
them, while talking, played carelessly with
his spoon-a silver spoon. He turned it
over and over, dropped it, picked it up
again and, last of all, when he thought
nobody was looking, he stuck it into the
shaft of his boot. But the other man saw
it, and then, delicately lifting a spoon in
his turn, he said; Gentlemen, shall !
show you pretty conjuring trickI bet
that l will place this spoon in my pocket"

will take it out of this gentleman's boot. F"
This he does. Whereupon he gravely took
hp his hat, bowed to the company and
walked off.-France Ilustree.

ART THAT WILL WASH.
A Chinese CoIorist's Works on Exhibition
In the Sandwich Islands.

A Chinese CoIorist's Works on Exhibition
In the Sandwich Islands.
A Chinese artist came here on an orien-
tai steamer and has been selling some queer
things in red, green and yellow to his adj
miring countrymen. He paints on silk
and linen as rule, but will turn off genre
pieces on white paper. His taste, however,
runs TO large pictures on grasscloth, paint
ed in panoramic way, which permits
him to sketch scene along several linear
feet of space. Accustomed as he has been
at home to paint by the acre and with both
hands, he is not dismayed by huge can
vas, but with calmness and industry will
proceed to illuminate whole set of red
sheets with blue elms and green roses and
diabolical Chinese gods and women and
lovers
One picture that he showed reporter
was said to represent n garden party,
though it needed some assurance at first
to dispel the idea that it was catastro-
phe at sea- What looked like the raging
main, however, was really Chinese turf,
and the bent and bedraggled object in the
foreground was not wreck, but tree.
An awful print of lost Celestial maid in
the grasp of devilfsh proved to be one
of an almond eyed damsel twined in the
leaves and tendrils of towering shrub
Instead of slippery squids, as one might
have supposed, were tambourines, and a
rock in the boiling surge was only II pago
da set in the heather and bushes.
A series of small paintings told ro-
mantle story very dear to the Chinese
heart. The hero of the pictorial tale was
the strongest man in the empire, having
become an athlete under the teaching of
his wife, who was female Samson. To-
gether they challenged the world without
soft gloves and "bar none" In course
of time, however, war came, and the wife
was overpowered and taken away, leaving
the husband very miserable. AS the art
ist paints him standing mourufully at the
door of his deserted lavender house, great
vermilion tears roll down his mauve COM
pleXion, stain his green vest and trickle
along his chromatic trousers and sink into
the scarlet and yellow earth.
Then 20 years go by, and another war
ensues. Two armies meet, and the strong
est champions go forth for preliminary
combat. Behold The man and wife are
sent against each other, and the artist
rises to the OCCASION He shows the hus-
band holding his dulcinea out at arm g

between sky blue banks he has fierce,
bewhiskered joy on his face that invites
not pearl tinted breeze, but II crimson
hurricane to blow through it. Meanwhile
the captured giantess, demure and sweet,
has surrendered without n murmur.
The visiting knight of the brush uses
pigments that will wash, and he says that
one of his pictures can go through a Chi
nese laundry without the loss of the natu-
raj blue tint on maiden 8 check or of the
delicate bronze flush of an opening flower

THE GIT DIVINE.

A single tree my prospect is.
OF all the lavish greenness
That summer yields, have but this
In place of utter le8hness.
Hemmed in by walls of brick and stone,
This one green outlook is my own.
But breadth of land and sweep of sea
Have failed of such attraction,
And bloomy gardens granted mo
Less simple satisfaction,
Less thankful sense of happiness,
Than now in one tree possess.
1t shuts all sordid things away;
All pleasant things enhances;
1t fills the silence day by day
With summers sweetest fancies;
Brooks babble, wild flowers smile for me
And forests murmur in my tree.
Birds. too, and butterflies and bees
Throng in its compass narrow;
A choir of ripping harmonies
hear in one brown sparrow;
A CLINT of sudden sunshine brings
The dream of many colored wings.
All, gift divinel what sorrow curbs,
What bitter fate can fout your
Better with you meal of herbs
Than the stalled OK without you;
For eyes that you anoint can see
All natures beauty in one tree.
