About 80 years ago an ingenious ply
stefan of an inquiring turn of mind was
struck with the idea that if electricity
was good for feeble people 1t might
be equally good for feeble plants. A
row of evergreens had been put out on
his grounds some time before and it oo-
CURED to him that as there were a couple
of his best trees in an exceedingly frail
state of health here was a good chance
to test his theory. He accordingly con-
nected a wire from a battery with the
roots of one of the trees, turned OH a
very mild current and watched the re-
suits. In short time the leaves, which
had begun to turn yellow, took on "a
lively shade of green, new shoots started
out, and the tree that had been given
up by the gardener as past saving was
soon the most flourishing one of the
row and before long outstripped its
fellows in beauty and luxuriance of
growth. These experiments in this di-
rection came to an end by the death of
the doctor, and thus much that might
have been of great service TO the garden
or and the florist remained undeveloped.
Who will enter the field and give us &C
ourate, simple and easily managed
methods Of growing plants by electrici-
ty?-New York Ledger.

An American traveller relates that
alighting at a hotel in Granada, man
at the door put out his hand toward
him. The traveller supposed that the
man was the porter of the hotel and
offered him his valise. The man step
ped back. tossed his head and frowned
scornfully. 'Carambap' he exclaimed.
DO you take me for porterP | would
have you understand that am no por-
ter. " Indeed? Then may I ask you,
senior what you are?'' II am beggar,

Possibilities of Surgery.

The extent to which the human body
can be mutilated without causing death
is beyond what most people think, OF
course the removal Of the largest limb
is a familiar fact, but the successive re
moval Of all the limbs would in most
cases result in nothing worse than in
convenience. In the same way the in
ternal organs may be extirpated This
Is facilitated by their quality. One kid
ney may be removed, and the other will
make up for the loss by doing double
work One eye may be taken out and
the sight remain practically unimpair-
ed. Large portions of the brain may be
removed with no injury to life or intel
leot. A portion Of the intestines has
been cut out and the ends sewed togeth-
er, and their normal action and func-
ton have not been interfered with. st

LIFE AND LOVE.

Let us live while the hearts lightest,
Let US love while the heart is strong.
And laugh while the day is brightest
And quicken the morn with song.
Let us mourn for no JOY untasted,
Let us envy no bliss gone by.
The pleasure ungr.sped is wasted.
Tomorrow we die, we die!
Let us quaff from the crystal showing
The wine on the beaded rim.
Let us gather the fruitage glowing
Full ripe on the bending limb.
Tomorrow the bowl Is shattered,
Ere ever the shards be dry
The fruit is withered and scattered.
Tomorrow we die, we die
Today is for love and kisses,
With life at its golden prime.
A century's wealth of blisses
We reap in moments time.
The heart keeps time to the measure,
While the harp Of love rings high.
Today is for love and pleasure.
Tomorrow we die, we die!

Chemical Perfumes.

Chemistry seems to furnish substi-
tutes for the expensive perfumes now
made from flowers. It has long been
known that the exact odor of the ba-
mana is produced in the laboratory.
There seems a possibility, however, that
even when some fragrant plants cease
to be cultivated for the perfumes many
may become Of importance in surgery
1t has been discovered that some such
plants are free from the attacks Of in
sects and from fungous growths, and this
may be due to the fact that their essen
tial oils have antiseptic properties. The
eucalyptus yields an antiseptic, and so
do other familiar plants. - Chicago

time when the wheelhouse of big
ocean steamer contained eight stalwart
men, who, i'll rough weather, would find
it almost a herculean task to manage
the wheel Nowadays the light touch
of an infants hand upon the wheel is
of sufficient power to turn a vessel com

The Dream that Didn't Come true.

In the interests of common sense it
is we'll to occasionally relate Of the
dreams which didn't come true. Ono
of the contesting heirs of an aged Bath
lady dreamed three nights in succession
that there was will and that It had
been buried with the woman. On the
strength of this the grave was reopened
and the casl1et searched carefully, only
to learn that the dreams amounted to
nothing. Augusta ME Journal.

He Got Turnip Seed.

There is a gentleman in Alexandria
who involuntarily started a farm. 1t
happened this way: His front yard was
as barren of grass as Bill Nye's head is
of any hirsute adornment With view
to having it green and pretty he went
over to the agricultural department and
begged some lawn seed, which were
willingly given him by Secretary Nor
ton He then returned home, and with
much satisfaction and expectation plant
ed them. Pictures Of beautiful green
lawn and neighbors green with envy
were conjured up before his fanciful
mind, and he watched the beaming sun
shine and refreshing April showers with
the deepest interest.
In a few days the sprouts began to
show above the earth. But they were
very curious looking sprouts, and they
seemed about as much like blades of
grass as a spade is like pick The gen
tleman began an investigation. The
sprouts began to grow with rapidity,
and in a few weeks there was more pros
pect of having vegetable garden than
a lawn. Authorities were consulted,
and after time it was discovered that
Mr. Morton had made mistake. In
stead of grass he had presented the
Alexandrian with turnip seed Wash
