An Electrical Eject.

Nine. Martin, living in an outer suburb
Of Paris, recently experienced one of the
most extraordinary shocks that have ever
startled human being. On awakening
from her slumbers on recent morning she
was Mortified to find that her husbands
face had turned completely black during
the night. Painting with terror, the wom-
an hastily threw on her clothes and rushed,
haggard and unkempt, to the coml ilssary
of police. There she astonished member
of the force" by shouting in his ear;
"Come quicklyl My husband has been
turned into negro during last night s
stormW The policeman, regarding Nine.
Martin as a maniac, took her, to the COM
missary's clerk, and to this official she also
related the transformation scene, but IN
perfectly cool and collected manner. The
clerk, thinking after all that some phe-
nomenon had happened through the agency
of electricity, put on his hat and accompa-
MED Nine. Martin to her domicile.
There the husband was found wide
awake, but looking as if he had been care
fully lamy BACKED before going to bed.
Explanations followed, and it was ascer-
tanned that Nine Martin, who is a devout
Catholic, had, during the night of terri
BILE thunderstorm, flung the contents of
what she considered TO be. a bottle of holy
water on the bed AMI On her husbands
face, thinking thereby to drive away the
lightning demon. The bottle contained
common ink, and hence the metamorpho-
sis in the original Caucasian color of the
worthy M. Martin which so startled his
spouse, and caused her to invoke the aid of
the police in her bewilderment.-Paris

Systematically and persistently stay away

Luxuriap. Plant Life in California,


When Americans came to California
they were surprised at the variations that
they observed in familiar plants. The
elderberry, which is only slightly different
from the elderberry bush of the Atlantic
slope, often becomes tree Of from two to
four feet in diameter and thirty or forty
feet high. This is merely matter of local
environment, rich soil and shelter; the
same species is mere shrub on the rocky
hillsides of the coast range. The bronze
leaved Ricinus, which makes semitropic
summer garden in front of many an Allan
tic coast cottage, grows for year after year
in California, until section of its stem a
foot and half in diameter can be OBJ
tanned by any collector Of vegetable curios-
tiles. Geraniums, nasturtiums, tomatoes
and many other plants useful and other
wise escape from cultivation, modify their
habits of growth and soon become wild
again.
Many plants of Mexico, Peru, Chill, the
Hawaiian Islands, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa and the eMediterranean shores
have already become dangerous weeds.
The loquat, a choice fruit of Japan, is al
ready growing wild in some canyons where
picnic parties, have left the seeds Apri-
cots, peaches, cherries and English wal
nuts have been found in the eforests-chance
seedlings, growing with the madronos and
manzanitas.-Charles II. ShinpT in Cen

AN ECHO.

How slowly up the steep we climb
We take but one step at time
SO small step that scarcely we
Seem climbing up perceptibly.
So near the base below appears,
We sometimes think with tired tears,
Though all our energies westrain,
The summit we can never gain.
But not for long yield we supine,
For ON the road we see the sign
Left by the wounded feet of those
Who, like ourselves, the rough road chose
And from the faroff heights where they,
Like bay crowned victors, stand today,
We hear an echo-''Courage keep,
We toiled as slowly up the steep"

He Did Not sneeze,

Mr.. Frederick Paulding told me the
other day Of an awful moment in his life
into which the horror Of years was crowd
ed. He was playing Romeo to Margaret
Mather's Juliet and the scene was on where
he Is lying dead before her tomb. Just as
she bent over him in the wild paroxysm Of
her despair before taking her own life he
felt terrible premonitory tingling in his
nose. A sneeze was coming as sure as he
lived. Suddenly there overspread his fea-
lures an expression more agonized than
the stage death struggle had ever left.
Teddy, what is the matterr" whispered
the dying Juliet in real alarm.
'Fm going tosneezeI'' gasped the miser-
able Romeo.
mo, you're not, my boy" answered the
determined young woman, setting her
teeth hard together, and as she repeated
the impassioned words, II will kiss thy
lips; haply some poison yet doth hang on
them," she grasped the nasal appendage
Of her prostrate lover and gave it such an
unmerciful tweak that he came near com
ing TO life on the spot; but he didn't sneeze,
and his reputation was sayed.-New York

Dogs, Tails.

Several years ago there was a good deal
of discussion Of the distinctive popularity
of the pointer and setter in the papers. 1t
was suggested that the habit of standing
still as soon as game was scented, instead
of springing forward at once to seize it,
was an instance of the manner in which a
natural instinct might be absolutely re-
versed by training. One of the eXplana-
tions attempted at the time for this appar-
ent anomaly was that the immovable posi-
tion of the dog was comparable to the pause
which most beasts of prey make before a
final spring.
But we must recollect when considering
this theory that few of the CANDIDA pounce
from an ambush suddenly upon their prey
after the manner of cats. And although a
terrier will stand immovable before rat
hole for hours together, his patient, watch
full attitude is very different from the rigid
and strained position of the pointer or set
ter, which position also has nothing in it
suggestive of crouching, preparatory to a
rapid bound forward, as is seen when cat
stalks bird an1 then gathers herself to-
gether before the final coup.
Not infrequently the tail of young set
ter when it sets game may be seen trem-
bling and vibrating as if it had disposi-
tion to wag, which was kept in check by
the supreme importance of not disturbing
the hare or covey. The tail also is held
out in full view like a flag, whereas rat
catcher's dog on the watch at hole will
often droop its tail,-Contemporary Re

Bigger Than the Sun.

A minute parallax of about one-sixtieth
of second of arc found for Arcturus by
DR.. Elkin gives most astounding result.
This small parallax implies distance
from the earth equal to about 100000
times the SUMS distance. This vast dis
tance would produce diminution of light
of about 351l magnitudes, so that the sun
placed at the distance of Arcturus would
be reduced to star of only 9M magnitude
1t would not be visible with an opera
glassl Arcturus is therefore in round
numbers 9>5 magnitudes, or over 6,00O
times brighter than the sun would be at
the same distance. Assuming the same
density and brightness of surface as the
sun, the diameter Of Arcturus would
therefore be about seventy nine times the
SUMS diameter, or over 6S,0OO,0O0 miles,
and its mass about 100000 times the MASS
Of the sun-hgures well calculat to
'sstagger the imagination. ."-Gentle ans

Playful Monkeys.

Apes and gorillas are usually vicious and
resentful, and less addicted to playful
tricks than the common monkey Indeed
the monkey, as we all know, is a
trickster both in his wild and domestic
state. In their native forests they spend
hours in swinging from the branches of
trees, suspended by their tails, and chat
tering and grimacing with evident signs of
delight. Humboldt mentions seeing over
hundred SO employed in a South Ameri-
san forest.-Harper's Young People.

Chances of Death by lightning.

The chances that any citizen in the ordi-
nary walks of life incur in a single year Of
being killed by lightning, judging from
the experience of the past fifty years are
about one in 10000. Men are much more
liable to death by lightning than women
in the ratio of five to two-a fact which is
probably due to their outdoor occupations.
The greatest number Of deaths from this
cause occur in July, and the least number
in the winter months The age twenty to
thirty years also furnishes the greatest
number Of victims.-St Louis Globe-Dem-

Bniling Macaroni.

An authority says that in boiling maca-
roni it is fatal to permit it to stop boiling
for moment until done. Have plenty of
salted water in the saucepan at the boiling
point when the sticks are added, and when
they are tender throw in glass of cold
water to stop the cooking suddenly, and
drain at once.-New York Times.
