The Resurrection Flower.

Travellers in Egypt who profess to
have seen the genuine resurrection
flower describe it as small bali hang
ing on it's fragile stem, and resembling
both in color and shape shrunken
poppy head. Sleeping, but not dead,
the flower is aroused by being for an
instant immersed in water and then
supported in an upright position.
Soon the upper fbres begin to stir:
Slowly, yet 7isibly, they unfold until
with petals thrown back in equidis-
tant order it assumes the appearance
Of beautiful radiated starry flower,
not unlike some of the asters in form.
Resting a moment. it suddenly, as
though inspired by some new impulse,
throws its very heart to the daylight,
curving back it's petals further still,
and disclosing beauties undreamed OF
even in the lo7eliness of its first awak-
ening.
changes, as though over the we'll
spring Of its eternal life hangs some
ruthless power forcing it back into
darkness before an hour has passed
it's newly found vigor is fading away.
The pulsing light at its heart grows
fainter-slowly the petals raise them
selves, to drop wearily side by side
upon it's bosom-and, finally, its
beauty vanished, its strength exhaust
ed, it hangs heavy and brown upon lts
stem, awaiting for the touch that
alone can awaken it again.
The story of the resurrection flower,
as given in 1916 by the late DR.. Dick,
the naturalist, is as follows: "While
travelling in Upper Egypt, eight years
before, engaged in exploring for some
lost emery and copper mines, ne

Il was supposed to have magic in the
web Of it. " -,
The doctor was solemnly assured by
the Arab and Others of his race that it
had been taken ten years before from
the breast of an Egyptian mummy,
high priestess, and was deemed a
great variety; that it would never ds-
cav if properly cared for; that its
possession through life would tend to
revive hope in adversity.-E1.

Revolution In Cotton.

The Rockefellers, OF Standard Oil fame.
are said to be interested in q new dev'ce
for baling cotton.
The other day one of these baioe srriv-
ed in Galveston and at once became the
centre of observation. It was cylinder.

inches in diam eter, fastened with carpet
tacks and weighing $50 pounds. 1t Is
claimed that this new baling process will

will be no more bagging and ties,
and congresses and cotton jamming
will be q lost art. The Galveston NeWS
says; .o;,,a - o,,r -,o,, rontra

Through this frame rams four mandrlis.

from the GIN and gives 1t turn around
the nearest mandril, which Immediately
commences winding 1t up as roll of wall
paper. An iron roller runs against ?he
cotton on the mandril, COMPRISING the
white cylinder to a density of about
twenty.seyen pounds per cubic foot.
The people who have this wonderful
scheme in hand say that they can put the
cotton down to forty pounds.

The Rem bert bales are twenty-five inch

exhibited here this week.

The gold is skillfully worked, and
precious stones are let into it So as to

She Used the Wrong Powder.

A young lady living on North Merid-
ian street had an experience Il the 9 other
evening, says the Indianapolis Senti-
mel. She was up stairs, and had just
turned out her light when she heard a
caller ask for her. She made dive
for her powder-puf in the dark, and
busted her face with powder. She
went to the parlor and found distln-
guished stranger, on whom she vas

appeared rather nonplussed at her
looks, but being man of the world,
which means man wise enough not
to tell a woman her faults, he said
nothing. She sat and chatted grace
fully, and had a delightful evening.
AS soon as he had gone she rushed to
the mirror, as every girl does when
her beau leaves. She gave one scream
and went off into Mysteries, for in heI
haste and the dark she had dipped
her powder-puf into a box Of pulver'
lied charcoal, and she had the makeup
of an amateur colored minstrel. The
contrast to her dainty organdie gown
and blonde hair was very funny, but
she will never smile again.

mai, of FOOLS What Are they going to

pair Of fools What are they going to-

have not got far enough to consider
that question, but the answer is a
foregone conclusion. They will live

Above all things let woman be
sure that her husband is temperate.
No matter how many other good quail

urious or the most poverty stricken,
it is always a r4aeu Of. MisefS to
woman @ho Knows not at what mo-
ment her husband may be brought
home drunk. Thousands of gentle,
noble wives to-day are leading lives Of
misery because Of this fear that is
ever at their hearts, although their
lips are Loyalty sealed even to their
dearest friends, and neveF a reproach
or cold look meets the husband as
he comes home day after day stupi6ed
by the effects of drink. 1t would

notA be shamed into reform by such
love and tenderness. How lacking in
manliness he must be who would not
for the sake of such wife resolutely
set himself to overcome the demon
that is destroying both his life and
her happiness.
But when all other qualifications
for a good husband have been found,
if there exists so great perfection upon
earth, there still remains one other
point of which woman should be
very sure, and that is that man
really loves her. Be very certain that
it is not for the social standing and
