The caperis the flower bud of low shrub,
Capparis spinoSa, which grows on walls and
ruins or on rocks and accumulations of
rubbish, i'll the south of Europe and at the
eastern end of the Mediterranean. 1t is
very common in Italy and the southern
parts of France. 1t grows wild upon the
walls of Rome and Florence and is cult
waited on large scale between Marseilles
and Toulon and also in many parts of Italy.
1t begins to flower in the early part of the
summer and flowers continuously until the
commencement of winter.
The buds are picked every morning be-
fore the petals are expanded and are put
into vinegar as they are gathered. They
are distributed according to their size into
different vessels and prepared for the mar
ket. The youngest and the smallest, being
the most tender are the first in quality,
and hence the different sizes are placed in
separate vinegar jars, deuOting differences
in quality and value The stems of the ca
per bush are trailing and 2 or 3 feet long
The leaves are alternate, ovate, veined and
of a light green color. The flowers are
white, large and beautiful, with tinge Of
red. They are divided into four petals, and
from the center of each flower springs a
long tassel of deep lilac stamens. The bril-
liant blossoms give very gay appearance
to the plant.-Brooklyp Eagle.

An incident showing the spontaneity of
Lablache's humOr occurred on the occasion
of his having been sent for by the king of
Naples. Awaiting in the anteroom his
turn TO be admitted into the royal pres
ence, he perceived a draft in the room, and
fearing the consequences begged to be al
lowed to remain covered. a moment or
two after he was beckoned by the usher
and forgetting that he wore his hat, took
up one he found near him, and with one
hat on his head and another in his hand,
entered the room in which was his ajesty.
The king at once perceived the mistake
and was so nightly amused at it that he
received the great basso with a hearty
laugh, which so startled the object of it
that he soon discovered what had hap
pened, and with his prompt wit exclaimed,
Sire. your majesty is quite right, one hat
would be already too much for a fellow
who has no head. New York Mail and

She Wanted to Know.

An old lady in Oglethorpe county, Ga,
boarded the north bound r. &, D. train. At
every station she funneled her hand to her
ear and screamed out to the conductor:
rs this Tocco.iey"
Annoyed by her persistent query, the
conductor said:
Madam, when we get to Taccoa will
let you know"
Presently party of picknickers got
aboard, and the conductor, in the confusion
of getting the ladies all seated, passed
Toccoa and several other small stations be-
fore his promise to the old lady required to
him. Remembering that, according to a
recent ruling of the railroad commissioner
of Georgia, the tenure of his position was
jeoparded by such negligence, he ordered
all the brakes on, and at the end of Is min
utes he had backed into Toccoa
MADAM" he said, reaching out for the
old lady's bandbox and green cotton UNI
brella, this is Taccoa."
The train was already half an hour late
and mis- accent was impatient.

In the Irish dirges and laments there
is great similarity to the music of the
west highlands, only the Irish music
having been written in most instances
for the harp-which has all the notes Of
the voice-is music of full and sweet
harmonies and has not the omissions
and deficiencies of the pentatonic scale
in which all music for the pipes was
written. While the melancholy of the
Celtic people finds adequate expression
in these laments-plaintive, wailing airs
something between recitative and mel
ody-another and not less characteristic
side of the Irish temperament is very
truthfully illustrated in their songs Of
humOr.
About these there is TN inimitabe raci
ness, fresh and sparkling wit, u spoD-
taneous ring Of chaff and fun, with a
dash of chivalrous sentiment and an airy
Hghtness which gives to them the unmis
taxable Hibernian accent and to which
there is no exact counterpart in the
songs of England or Scotland. London

man entered a pawnbroker's shop in
the Bowery, and laying down a $40 bill
asked if he could be accommodated with
81 on it. The pawnbroker was an excellent
judge Of money and saw at once that the
bill was genuine. So he turned aud said TO
the stranger, showing the bill toward him
as he spoke, that he was in no mood for
nonsense. But the stranger, showing the
bill back, rejoined in earnest tones that he
meant business; that he couldn't get any
conductor on a horse car to change the bill.
that he had already been put off three cars,
that his boots were awful tight, and that
unless he could get 81 on the bill he would
be compelled to walk to the Battery. Well,
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that the
stranger meant what he said. So he took
up the so bill, toyed with it few mo

A man Of unquestioned veracity
vouches for the truth of this fish story;
His friend, who lives few miles in the
country, set line for catfish one day.
In the morning when he went after the
fish he found them in abundance, and
on one line he found large owl that
must have been a terror to birds and
fishes when alive. The line was wound
around the body and the neck of the
owl, and the fish bore marks of the owls
talons, showing that the owl had caught
the fish after the hook had caught it,
and in its efforts to fly away with the
fish it had been ensnared by the line,
after which the fish had its inning by
drowning the owl
At any rate the owl was dead, and the
fish, though disfgured, was still in the
swim and playing the line with yigor
that caused the line TO bob up and down
with the irregularity Of the cotton mar
ket. The drowned owl is ON exhibition
as witness TO the truth of the story,
and the fish, though the finest of the
catch, escaped the frying pan, and now
has a steady job as an owl catcher. The
fisher set him for owls.-Valdosta Cor.
