ssThe Lamb GOurd."

The Duke of Holstein in his "Travels
in Muscovy and Persia" Q636) gives
full account of wonderful vegetable
growing in the neighborhood of the
city of Samara, Russia, and known as
the ''lamb or sheep gourd." The Duke
says: 'It most resembles lamb in
all its members, and on that account
is called 'the lamb gourd' by the peo-
pie. 1t changes place in growing as
far as the vine or stalk will reach, and
wherever it turns the grass withers.
When it ripens the stalk withers, and
the outward rind is covered with
kind of hair which the Muscovites use
instead of fur. They showed us SOME
of these skins which were covered
with soft wool, not unlike that of a
lamb newly weaned."
Scaliger also speaks of the 'lamb
gourd" in his works. In one chapter
he says that the queer vegetable con-
tinues to grow as long as grass is
plentiful, but that when the grass
falls, the "pore creetyr dyes frome lac

A musical instrument, the like of
which has never been seen before, is
the outcome of many years hard think
ing by a Swedish electrician and
musician. There is frame, and on it
are hung a score of tuned bells, q
series of steel bars struck by metallic
hammers, a row of steel strings of
necessary tension, xylophone, and a
fraudulent bagpipe, made out of a bar
of steel and an electric current. The
operator can sit at the keys few feet
away or hundred miles-it doesn't
matter which, so long as the connecting
electric wires are fixed up. For be-
ginner l should recommend the hun
dred miles radius. The keyboard,
which is like that of piano. but with
few keys, is equipped with switches,
SO that one set of instruments or the
whole lot may be operated on at

Oct ALL OUT OF LIFE YOU CAN.

Tis very good rule-as rules may go

To set the days by the star of faith
And get all out of life that he can.
The Golfers of hope hold infinite stores,
And we may supply them at will,
We may heap them with treasure that never
shall fade,
With wonderful beauty may fill.
Yes, get out of life all we can every day
But let us reflect on the meaning.
Shall we wrest from the weak because we
are strong
Each thing that of value is seeming2
Shall we feel that possessions are ric hes
alone2
And insist that we lead i'll the van?
In fulfilling this rule that we hold for our
To get all out of life that we can2
There are those who do this, but you will
not, know,
For you hold that the secret of living
Ofbeautiful days full of infinite charm
Lies only in loving and giving.
To get out of life we must put into life
All generous courage, all sweetness
Bothoughtful for others, be courteous and
kind,
And then will life grow to completeness.
And thus will the days as they glide into
years
Hold their riches for boy and for man
Who follows this rule in its meaning sublime,
To get all out of life that he can.

Another songstress, who was gifted

elaborate symphony, preceding the
second verse of her song, she chanced
idly to glance at the book of words

followed. She could not link the
melody with the poem. 1t was ter
rible moment; but she stepped swift
ly to the piano, glanced at the accom-

tion, that by printers error two lines
of her song had been left out of the

Emperor William, in the estimation
of the New York Tribune, deserves
considerable credit for the reforms
which he has inaugurated in the Ger
man army in connection with the uni
form and the equipment of the men,
whose comfort and welfare are now
studied to much greater extent than
ever before. The weight of the equip
ment has been reduced by some fifteen
or twenty pound, and the tight, stiff
collar around the throat has been
superseded by loose and open one,
allowing the man to move his head
and neck without difficult and to
breathe with greater ease on the
march in hot weather. The Austrian
military authorities are following suit
in the matter, and are taking leaf
out of the book of their allies ut Ber-
lin, among other innovations decided
upon being the substitution of a gray
uniform in the place of the blue one
now in use in the army of Emperor
Francis Joseph.
