The Life History of Corals.

The life history of corals is sufficiently
remarkable in its sober facts. Like other
animals, they produce eggs, from which
free swimming young are Matched. Bat
they have two other methods Of propa-
gation-namely, gemmation and tissI-
parity. Between animals and plants in
general there is no distinction which
makes itself more prominent and OBJ
trusive than the free individual life Of
other. By gemmation, the successive
putting forth of buds, an industrious
vegetable. starting with a seed of insig-
nificant size, may build massive struC-
ture, sometimes 400 feet in height, the
resultant of individuals almost innumer-
able, belonging to hundreds or thousands
of generations, all Of them the living
members of a single family, successfully
sacrificing their individuality to promote
the common good and to share it.
This procedure i'll plant life is illus
trated by an endless diversity of exam
pies, great and small. Whatever excep-
lions there may be, this, to the ordinary
observer, is the customary, the common
place, the distinctive habit in the vege-
table kingdom. Thus it came to pass
that men did not believe their own eyes
when they met with animals behaving
in way that seemed to be the patent
right of vegetables. The isolated sea
anemone was we'll understood, but crea-
lures of precisely similar structure,
which took to sprouting out of stems
and branches, had to be incontinently
handed over to the botanist.-Edinburgh
Review.

handsome coat seen the other day was OF
ruby velvet trimmed with Powered brocade
Of q pinkish tone. A jabot of ivory lace
completed the courtly effect in this case,
and nothing could be more fitting for
dress occasion.
A plain, close vest is eminently proper,
however, especially for ordinary use, or the
opening may be concealed by plastron.
Indeed the coat, simple or elaborate, suits
itself to all the exigencies of life in these
DAYS and seems to be firmly fixed in popu-
lar favor.
An illustration is given of visiting cos
tune composed of a satin skirt and velvet
coat. The skirt is of walking length and
perfectly plain, but the coat is more elabo-
rate, having q wide collarette of brOcade,
which crosses in front and is fastened at
the left side of the waist under a bow and
sash of the same material. The velvet
sleeves are tight below the elbow, but have
q puff beginning just above it and extend
ing to the shoulder This puff is surmount-
Cd By a fall of wide lace. The neck has Il
high velvet collar and also a 1aring orna-
mental collar of the brocade. This model
would look exceedingly well made up en-
tirely in black and worn with colored felt
hat trimmed with black tips.

jackson Park.

During the entire summer OF 1894 the
main exhi bition buildings will stand in
Jackson park. The public will be ad-
mitted everywhere in the park free.
The work of identifying the park will
progress steadily. On the first day Of
the new year the park commissioners
assumed control. All state and foreign
buildings will be out of the north end
of the grounds by May 1. The COM
missioners will at once begin the work
of restoring that end of the park to its
former appearance and continue to i'm
prove it. What may be done with the
buildings the following year cannot be
said. The board will take no action on
that matter for some time.-Chicago

rhymes Attributed to Lincoln.

An old friend of mine named Cabaniss
recently told me that Abraham Lincoln
worked for his father in 1882. At that
time a great rise occurred in the San
CANON river, and a steamboat, taking
advantage of the high water, came up
the stream. My friend was then a child.
and the whistling of the boat frightened
him. Lincoln, then tall, angular young
man. took him in his arms and carried
him aboard the boat. After the depart
ure of the craft Lincoln wrote some
rhymes about the incident, one verse Of
which the Cabaniss family preserved. 1t
ran thus:
The Illinois suckers, green and raw,
collected on the Sangamaw
To see boat come up the stream;
They surely thought it was a dream.
For this doggerel he invented melo-
dy, and he and others sang it. The song
never found its way into print. The
elder Cabaniss always told his children
that the amiable, kindly Lincoln would
develop into great man.-San Antonio
TEX Letter.
