REMARKABLE TREES.
Some OF thc More Striking Curiositics Of
Plant Life.

Plant Life.
On the Canary island grows foun-
tain tree, n tree most needed in some
parts Of the island. II il said that the
leaves constantly dstill enough water
to furnish drink to every living creature
in Hero, nature having provided this
remedy for the drought Of the island.
Every morning near this part Of the is.
land cloud or mist arises from the sea,
which the winds force against the steep
cliff on which the tree grows, and IL is
from tho mist that the tree distills the
water.
China, too, claims her remarkable
tree. This Is known as the tallow tree,
SO called from the fact Of its produc-
ing substance like tallow, and which
serves the same purpose, is OF the same
consistence, color and smell On the is
land Of Loo.Choo grows tree, about the
size of common cherry tree, which
possesses the popularity of changing the
color Of its blossoms. At one time the
flower assumes the tint Of the lily, and
again shortly takes the color Of the rose.
In Tibet there is q curious tree known
as the tree Of the thousand images. Its
leaves arc covered with we'll defined
characters Of the Tibetan alphabet. II
is of great age and tho only one Of its
kind known there.
The caobab tree is considered one of
tho most wonderful Of tho vegetable
kingdom. IL appears that nothing can
kill this tree; hence it reaches an aston
ishing age as well as enormous size.
Tho natives make strong cord from
the fibers of the bark; hence the trees
are continually barked, but without
damage, as they soon put forth new
bark. 1t appears impervious to fire, and
even the AK is resisted. as it continues
to grow in length while it is lying on
the ground.
In Mexico there is plant known by
tho name of palo de leche. 1t belongs
to tho family Of euphorbia. Tho Indians
throw the leaves into the water, and the
fish become stupefied and rise to the
surface and are then caught by tho ma
tives. In this case the effect of tho mar
cotic soon passes off. The milk of this
plant thrown upon the fire gives out
fumes that produce nausea and head
ache. The milk taken internally is a
deadly poison. 1t will produce death or
insanity, according to the size Of the
dose. There is popular belief among
the lower class in Mexico that the in
sanity of tho ex-Empress Carlotta was
caused by this poison. San jose Mer-

Luck.

Abraham Lincoln, after being a MEM
Der Of congress, desired to secure clerk
ship in Washington, but he was defeat
ed by Justin Butterfield. He was disap-
pointed, but had he not been defeated
he would have spent his life in obscur-
ity instead Of becoming president of the
United States.
Oliver Cromwell was once ON board a
ship bound for America, but he was
taken back by a constable, and the re-
suit was that he became one Of the
greatest men England ever knew.
Ulysses Grant would not have been a
military man had it not been that his
rival for West Point cadetship had
been found to have six toes ON each foot
instead Of five.

It Meant Mutlny.

One morning a British man-of-war
was seen entering Hongkong harbor
with the ensign inverted, which is the
usual sign Of "mutiny ON board" I'M
mediately this was noticed a couple of
man-of-warcutters put out, full Of blue
jackets, and dashed across the harbor
toward where the newcomer had anchor
ed. Perhaps it was a little regatta en-
thusiasm, or perhaps it was purely the
spirit Of duty which stimulated them,
but anyhow a most exciting race ensued
i'm fact, there was narrow escape of
a bad smash as they reached the vessel.
There the officers and some of the crew
were at the taffrail, shouting themselves
hoarse and beckoning to the two boats
to come on faster. At last, half dead
with their exertions, yet eager for the
fray with the mutineers, the tars
tumbled on board and were warmly
complimented on their rowing pace. 1t
must have blown them badly. Would
they have drink?
"a what? Where is the mutiny?''
gasped the senior officer in charge Of
the boarding party. "Mutinyl There's
no mutiny in this ship, We are all the
best Of friends, was the reply. "Then
why did you want us? You yelled loud
enough. F" 1--WE thought it was Hong
kong regatta day and were cheering the
winners. Staggered for a moment, the
officer pointed inquiringly to the ensign,
still Haunting its appeal for aid that
was not required. "Oh, d-n the boy,
He always puts it up wrong if we don't
watch him-simply out of stupidity.
Let's all go and punch his head "-St.

Boys Who Abuse Animals.

In recent book on "Pets and How
to Care For Them" the writer finds out
that reports have been got from prisons
and reformatories showing that very
few Of the men who are prisoners in
these places kept pets when they were
boys or were taught kindness to the
lower animals. So. you see, that the
boy who robs birds nests or kicks and
hurts dogs and cats not only does an
unkind and cruel thing to these crea-
lures, but he also gives himself little
push ON the wrong road in life.

AT Muncie, Indiana, the Humane So
ciety has opened war upon the employ
ment in the factories there of children
under twelve years Of age. Such is the
law and the society proposes to enforce
it. If so, several hundred boys and girls
viii be released from the nut and glass
factories. 1t is right action. Besides be-
ing inhuman to confne these children of
tender years in factories. they and the
women displace large number of adult
workers who are thrown out because
women and children by displacement
render them helpless and dependents.
This process of ousting natural bread
winners and care-takers by the place
ment of those who belong in school or in
the home, is a positive and augmenting
evil. Return the women to their homes
to cultivate the taste for domesticity and
acquire the arts of housewifery; return
the factory child slaves to the schools; in
their place put men who can and will
maintain homes; put up the bars TO ex-
clude the low alien class that drives
the American workers to the road and
we will have less distress, more indus
try. and hear little of the marching of the
unemployed.

ERRONEOUS IDEAS OF GOVERN
MENT.

Under our system the Government is
the people, the voice of the majority de-
termined by ballot and made effective
through legislation by the agents of the
people so chosen.
The idea that is industriously circu-
lated that the Government owes to every
one of its members a living" is errone-
Gus; it owes only such protection to the
individual right of each, as the people
have themselves by partial and voluntary
surrender of rights enabled it to give.
1t has not the right nor the power to
take from the common fund for the
special assistance and promotion of any
one person or class. Hence it is held
that it has not the right to even extend
charity. While this has not been, how
ever, enforced as a rule. it always has
been matter of protest.
The aggregated body of agents we call
Congress, has the power to legislate for
the general good along several lines, and
~ ID A6Io g11d6 1SSQOS dL JOAACO as W w hob
is the general good. But the right judg-
ment is that the general grant of power
referred to is controlled by the specific
declarations of the Constitution. Ger
tainly if the doctrine is to obtain that SO
many now preach, that the Government
is to do any and all things by expend-
lture of money and employment of in
dustry in works created for the purpose,
to aid the distressed and unemployed,
then we getIto paternalism in its broadest
and most impracticable sense.
There is unquestionably limit within
which the government of the people
may act that will have the effect desired
in part, such as the withdrawal of special
privileges that under the laws are gained
by one class at the expense of other
classes; the disposal of irritating legis-
lative subjects, uncertainty concerning
which paralyzes commerce and industry;
the forwarding of such public works as
the needs of Government demand, and
for which there is means of payment.
Beyond these and few similar lines
the demand for other activity by the Gov
ernment for the relief of abnormal condi-
tions and industrial distress leads to the
questions of naturalization of products,
industries, lands, works, ETC., that forms
the text for so much of the speculative po-
litical economy and economic fallacies of
the day. 1t is certainly clear to whoever
reads or observes, that just now, more
than at any previous time. the no.
tions prevalent among large number Of
our people of the true office and the func-
tons of self-government are more than
vague; they are dangerously erroneous.
since it is wild and impracticable idea
that in some way that which we call gov
ernment is thing separate and apart
from and above the people, which has the
power to do that which in the very nature
of things under our system it is i'm
possible to do.
