Initiative Forms i'm Flowers.

Those who have given any particular
attention to the study of botanical
oddities know that the Brazilian
flower known ms the running ante
LOPEZ" is 80 called because its white
petals have n series of well-defined,
dark -colored lines and dots in which
the imagination can readily trace the
form of nm antelope with its limbs out
stretched and head thrown back,
seemingly fleeing for its life In the
"caricature plant" one species has the
initiative form on the petals and an
other has it outlined i'll the ribs and
shading of the leaves. This last
mentioned curiosity bears remarkably
well-executed likeness of the Duke of
Wellington, and has, ON that account,
been named "Arthur and his Nose. y
Among the orchids the initiative form
is entirely different i'll character, being
exhibited in the shape of the flower
itself. Some are exact counterfeits OF
bees, butterflies, moths, etc, while
others take upon themselves the form
of worms and beetles. Naturalists be
lieve that in the first instance II is
natures trap To lure other bees, moths
and butterflies, but the case of the
worm and beetle orchids, or those
that are exact counterparts of toads,
lizards and huge spiders, they do not
attempt to explain. st. Louis Re

A Substitute for Tan Bark.

Growing wild in great abundance in
New Mexico and Arizona is a plant
that yields large percentage of tan
mic acid 1t is known as canaigre.
Experiments were made with this
plant, and when it became certain that
the product of it's root was in every
way suited to tanning, large guam
tity of the tubers were shipped to
various tanneries, both in the United
States and Europe This was in 1889.
The results obtained were at once
gratifying and encouraging to all con-
cerned.
A number of European tanners
erected plants for extracting the acid
from the canaigre root and adapted
their tanneries to the use of the prod
uct Ii will surprise most readers to
learn that since that time they have
had large forces of men employed i'll
New Mexico and Arizona digging and
shipping the root,
American tanners have been slow in
taking up the canaigre root, fearing
the supply could not be made to an-
swer the demand. They have long
been convinced, however, that it fur
nishes equally ms good n tanning agent
ms the oak or hemlock bark, and at
last steps are being taken to begin the
cultivation of the plant on large
scale. Many farmers in New Mexico
have undertaken to make a business of
it, and large company has been in
corporated for the purpose of improv-
ing the lands of the Pecos Valley,
where the conditions are especially
favorable to its growth. Waverley

He Grew Up With the Country.

Dozens of letters have been received
from all corners of the United States
for more information about the little
gray toad that was dug up under sew
enteen feet of hardpan on the premises
of Henry and Eliza Henderson in the
southern part of this city, says q
Tacoma Washington letter to the
New York Sun. Managers of museums
and owners of aquariums covet the
little hopper, which is not over II
month old, dating from the day he
was unearthed. What surprises the
scientists most is the fact that he does
not turn up his cat-like claws and die.
Heretofore, toads taken from stones or
dug up out of the earth at great
depth have died in few days, most
of them expiring inside of an hour or
two, but this particular toad is grow
ing fat on flies and can hop eighteen
inches any day. He loses his appetite
after eating six or seven plump house
flies. These have to be caught for
him. When they are placed before
him he jumps after them viciously and
blinks, and shifts his weight from one
forefoot to the other after swallowing
them.
There are various surmises as to the
age of this toad. Trees which were
saplings at the time Columbus landed
were growing in the four feet of soil
on the top of the hardpan until the
Hendersons felled them three years
ago. In few days the toad will be
forwarded to Harry Henderson, OF
Pittsburg, Penn, nephew of the
Tacoma Hendersons, who will place
him in an aquarium in Shenly Park,
East Liberty, at that city. Miss Hen
derson is afraid to trust this ancient
treasure to the c:re of a friend, an ex-
press company, or the mails, and she
will probably make special trip East
in the capacity of fly catcher and
chaperon for his toadlets.

Statistics are said to show that
young men do not, on the average,
attain full physical maturity until
they arrive at the age of twenty-eight
years. Professor Scheiller, of Har-
ward, asserts, rs the result of his OBJ
servations, that young men do not at
tain to the full measure of their men
tai faculties before twenty-five years
of age. A shrewd observer has said
that 'most men are boys until they
are thirty, and little boys until they
are twenty-fve;' and this accords
with the standard of manhood whic
was fixed at thirty among the ancient
Hebrews aud other races.

THE PoPPIEs IN THE CORN.

When the mist In pearly columns
Rises DER the hilltops gray,
And the dews of early dawning 49,.
In the grasses melt away,
Then the sun in softened splendor
Sheds his first rays thro' the morn,
Lo, they kiss the sleepy faces
OF the poppies in the corn.
Ger the scene there falls silence,
All the twittering song-birds still;
As the lark, his far flight taking,
Circles toward the distant hill,
Up and upward, flies triumphant,
Earth-bred warbler, heaven-born,
Till a song steals down from cloudland
Der the poppies in the corn.
Slowly comes the hush of noontide,
Not leaf sways on the trees,
Not "A dew-drop on the grasses,
Not the whisper of breeze,
CLOVIS the sun in scorching fury,
One wee butterfly forlorn,
Painting, falls in dying struggles
On the poppies in the corn.
Soft breeze comes rustling over,
Signing thro' the cedars tall,
Strs the grapes in hanging clusters
On the mold'ri wine-clad wall.
Sinks the sun in amber glory,
Dies the day as night is born,
One wee star peeps through the twilight
At the poppies in the corn

The DEBT QUESTION.

The so-called debt of West Vir-
gina is again the prize which CAPT.
talists are seeking to squeeze. These
are philanthropists of the modern
and not of the old school. They
have determined that West Virginia
has debt and they are going to see
West Virginia out of it at all haz.
ards. West Virginia has no debt,
and therefore needs no such gener-
GUS guardianship. Virginia, with all
the public buildings and improve
ments, sought to shove off part of
her debt on West Virginia without
either consent or agreement. But
the Mountain State objected and OBJ
jects.
Now, no strange tommittee OF the
holders of West Virginia certificates
issued by the Virginia authorities
will be permitted to assess and levy
this so-ealled, one-sided and unjusti-
fable matter off of our taxpayers.
We warn the taxpaying voters to be
very careful in electing members to
the Legislature Somebody has bought
up the so called debt, and somebody
wants pay. Let them go to Vir.
ginia and not 10 West Virginia for it.
