The Snow Flower.

A traveller in Siberia tells Us about a
wonderful plant found in the northern
part of that country, where the ground
is perpetually covered with coating OF
frost and snow. 1t is called the snow
flower, and the description of its birth
and it's short life reads like a fairy tale.
He says it shoots out CT the frozen soil
on the first day of the year and attalns
a height Of 3 feet On the third day it
blooms, remaining open for only "A
hours. Then the stem, the leaves and
the flower are converted into snow-ln
other words, the plant goes back into Its
original elements.
The leaves ere three III number and
the flower is star shaped. On the third
day, the day the bloom appears, little
glistening specks appear on the extrem1-
ties of the leaves. They are about the
size of the head Of. a pin and are the
seeds of the flower.
It is said that some Of these seeds
were gathered once and taken to St. Pc
tersburg, where they were buried in
bed of snow. The first of the following
year the plant burst forth and bloomed,
inst as it does in Siberia.-Philadelphia

HUNTING, FoRsooTHl

The Movement In England to Stop the
Crue1ties of Misnamed ''Sportsmen."
The Royal Buckhounds have COM
nenced the season Of hunting the tame
deer in Windsor park and the adjacent
country, although over year ago the
government promised to consider the ad-
visibility Of abolishing this misnamed
sport, and although the queen herself
is known to regard it with anything but
favor. The Humanitarian league has
again taken up the subject, and to Lord
Rosebery will shortly be presented a Pc
tition in favor Of the prohibition not
only of tame stag hunting, but of all
kinds Of so called sport other than fail
hunting.
The practices aimed at by the petit
tioners include pigeon shooting and
coursing hares and rabbits within in
closures. The petition is signed by
5000 huraanitarians, headed by George
Meredith, the novelist, and the list con-
tains the names of all the best known
poets, artists, writer's and dreamers. with
a good mixture of practical politicians
like Timothy Healy and John Burns

She Wants Her Leg.

One day last March a Belgian lady
fell from her carriage in Brussels and
received injuries which necessitated the
amputation of her leg. The surgeon who
performed the operation, considering
the amputated member his property,
placed it Oh exhibition in his anteroom,
with an explanatory note, giving tho
name, age and address of its former pos
SCISSOR. When the lady's husband heard
of this, considering such an exhibition
improper, he went to the surgeon to get
back the leg. The surgeon refused to
give it up, but offered to remove the
notice. This was not satisfactory, and
the matter has become cause celebre
in the courts of Brussels. Brussels Cor

BREEDING 4 RACE OF IDIOTS.

Curse. =
Matrimony in Germany is a singular
institution, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
There are so many restrictions, such a
complement Of formalfties to be sub
mitted to, that marriage is rather un-
popular than otherwise. The prevail
ing idea is to keep money In the fam
ily, and to attain this end the people,
so sensible and level-headed in many
respects, are willing to go any lengths
A man may even have for his wife his
cousin, his aunt, his stepmother and
his sisterinlaw combined-he doesn't
care so long as he has a hold on the
money. The number of marriages
among first cousins Is countless, and
the results appalling. How many idi-
OTIS there. are in the Fatherland I
should not like to say. So that he
make keep the money In his family
1t Is quite a common occurrence for
In uncle to marry his niece; and a
man will sometimes wed his brothers
widow. In Bavaria 1t is legal for
a boy to marry at IA and q girl at IL.
A soldier may not become a benedict
until he has reached the age of 30
a most unpopular condition, and one
which causes very di~sagreeable conse-
quences. I heard of a case Of n man
who married his first cousin. He had
four children, one Of whom became q
leper and two of them idiots. Three
committed suicide, the fourth, married
her first cousin and had an idiot child.
In another fam1y the result of an In
termarriage between cousins vas two
imbeciles out Of three children. All
three died young. In n district num-
bers OF people with d~readfully swollen
necks may be met. In the valleys
OF the Alps some of the most deformed
idiots on earth are to be found. They
are Cretins and live by begging. the
h~ideodsness Of their looks bringing
them In a good deal Of money from
the .charitably disposed. And yet these
poor creatures intermarry and spread
the scourge. The marriage knot does
not require any great effort in break,
ing 1t in Germany. Chronic mutual
dislike and incompatibility of temper
are sufficient reasons for divorce.
