Herba rum Of Ohio PIa nta.

A fair beginning of a state herba-
.ium, or collection of the native and
naturalized plants of the state, is now
to be found in the botanical depart
ment of the Ohio State University, and
is open to the inspection of all persons
interested.
Especial efforts are being made to
extend and improve the herbarium,
and contributions are solicited from
pupils. students, teachers, and others
interested in botany. It should show
fully the distribution of every species
of plant throughout the state, and
every variation that might be due to To-
cation, character of soil, or other
causes
Monstrosities or abnormal specimens
are desired whenever they occur; they
are often very interesting and instruct
i've. New species are finding their way
into the state, and others are being ex-
terminated. Specimens with labels at
tached, giving locality and date (also
collectors name), both now, but espe-
cially in the distant future, will be Of
great interest and value.
The hebarium includes not only tho
Towering plants and ferns. with their
allies, but also MOSES, liverworts, lich-
ems, fungi and algae. Comparatively
few of the specimens represent remote
portions of the state, and persons living
in the distant or border counties could
make very acceptable contributions
Printed directions for collecting and
drying specimens will, on application,
be sent gratis by Prof w. A. Keller
man.
The alpha betical index to the herba-
rum is on cards, there being separate
card for each species or variety. Each
card has an outline county map of the
state, and a mark properly placed indi-
Gates the locality from which each Of
the herbarium specimens was obtained.
This card index shows at glance not
only the number and locality of the
specimens in that herbarium, but also
at the same time the distribution Of
the plants over the state.

A Hen Rears Pups.

This summer might be seen at
Greenhead, Lempitlaw, near Kelso,
the extraordinary spectacle of hen
bestowing maternal care on litter
of three Dandie Dinmont pups, the
property of Mr.. John Wait, forest
er. 1t seems that the pups had been
deserted by their mother, and in ths
course of their aimless wanderings
had come into contact with broody
Orpington hen, the result being
that the hen began tc 60 about with
and look after them. When she sat
herscl' down, the pups climbed over
her L.;ck and crawled under her
wings just like SO many chickens,
and we're apparently as much at
tached TO their feathered foster
mother as the latter was TO her ca
nine family.-London Answers.

Not Without Permission.

Richard Vaux has never been to a
theater in his life to see theatrical
performance. An interesting incl
dent is given Of his bcyhood days, over
three score years ago. His father,
highly.respected and prominent
Friend, resided on Arch street, and
believed it was best for his children
to be trained within the rules Of the
good old Quaker habits, At that
period Ned Forrest was the brilliant
young American tragedian and had
captivated all the boys of Philadel-
phia in his character of the Roman
Gladiator and big Indian Metamora.
Young Vaux naturally desired to
see the great actor play, but shrank
from going without his fathers con-
sent, SO one day he ventured to ask
his father for a half-dollar to get .
ticket. The old gentleman kindly
replied in Quaker accent:
'Richard, don't begrudge the
money, but thee knows l don't ap-
prove of playhouses, and wish thee
to promise me not to 60 to theater
without my permission"
The promise was given, and his
father died suddenly soon after with
out giving the permission. Richard
Vaux has conscientiously refrained
from going to the theater ever since.

WHEN THEY WERE BOYS.
Gems. Grant, Mcclellan and jack
son at West Point.
.'Stonewall" and Little Mac" Stood Mt OPP
posite Ends Of tho Class-Jaclsson's Per-
severance-Grant Was q Daring
Horae.nan.

1t is always of interest to know
how great men appeared before they
became distinguished, and one of the
best chapters of Gen. Maury's very
readable book, "Recollections of
Virginian," is that in which he
sketches the youthful character of
some of his West Point associates,
in the class of 1916. Of this class,
which at the beginning numbered
one hundred and sixty-four, Nc
Clellan went at once to the head,
and remained there till the end,
enjoying the while the affection
and respect of ALL" At the oppo-
site end of the class, after the first
examination, stood Jacksonville
"Stonewall' of later years.
Jackson was nineteen years old
three years older than Mcclellan
awkward and uncultured, bat with
an earnest purpose that impressed
all beholders. OF his first appear
ance Gen. Maury says:
"Birket Fry, A. P. Hill and 1
were standing together when he en-
tered the South barracks under
charge of cadet sergeant. He
was clad in gray homespun, and
wore coarse felt hat, such as wag-
oners or constables-as he had been
usually wore, and bore pair of
weather-stained saddlebags across
his shoulders. There was about him
so sturdy an expression of purpose
that remarked: That fellow looks
as if he had come to stay
Gas the sergeant returned from
installing him in his quarters, we
asked who the new cadet was. He
replied: Cadet Jackson, Of Vir-
ginia. That was enough for me, and
I went at once to show him such in
terest and kindness as would have
gratified others under the circum-
stances. But Jackson received me
SO coldly that 1 regretted my friend
ly overtures, and rejoined my COM
panions rebuffed and discounted.
Jackson's steady purpose to sue
ceed and to do his duty soon won
him universal respect. By incessant
work, too, he rose step by step in
his rank, till finally the boys used to
say: well, if We stay here another
year, old Jack will be at the head of
the class.
Gen. Maury mentions Hancock
and Franklin, and has this apprecia-
tive paragraph about the young man
who, though no one foresaw it, was
to become the most celebrated men,
ber of the class:
Snow Grant," he says, twas a
very good and kindly fellow, whom
everybody liked. He was proficient
in mathematics, but did not try to
excel in anything except horseman-
ship. In the riding school he was
very daring. When his turn came
to leap the bar. he would make the
dragons lift it from the trestles
and raise it as high as their heads,
when he would drive his horse over
it, clearing at least six feet.

The Custom of the Country.

'When ] was in Kentucky last,
said the man who had sworn off, sit

told me Id have to take whisky or

A Vanishing Lake.

pond, a sheet of water seventeen
miles east of Cordele, Ca, is small,
but wonderful, being regarded as
one of the greatest natural curl
osities in the south. 1t takes its
name of Vanishing lake" from the
fact that every year, some time be-
tween the 10th and Goth of May,
its waters become terribly agi-
tated and within few minutes to-
tally disappear, sinking through
the bottom with a great roar Sev-
eral lakes and ponds in that vicinity
have disappeared, but this is the
only one which annually fills up and
goes through such curious per-

Gust before Christmas the house

draft for nearly four thousand dol
lars to house in London with
which we had done business for more
years thah 1 personally can remem-
Der. We have never registered the
drafts, and never had any trouble
with them until this last one.
about two months after we had
a cable message asking immediate
remittance, and the next Saturday
we had letter calling our attention
to the fact that we had omitted to
remit in accordance with our usual
custom.
1--WE cabled back that we had re-
mitted, but would secure a duplicate
draft, and on Monday we did this
and sent it on with an explanation
that if the other draft turned up
they were to notify us.
THE morning after we had gone
to this trouble we received back, via
the returned letter offices OF London
and this country, our first letter,
with its inclosure unopened. In the
hurry of heavy mail one of our
clerks had accidentally underpaid
the letter, and two cents postage
due was demanded on its presenta-
tion in London. This sum was re-
fused and the letter returned, in ac-
cordance with the international pos
tai rules, to the original sender.
'On inquiring at the post office 1
found that our case was by no
means an exceptional one. In this
country large firms almost invaria-
bly, take in all their mail promiscu-
ously, and pay any claims for under
paid postage weekly. or when de-
manded. In London, it appears, all
the old standing houses instruct
their clerks TO refuse anything that
is underpaid, and the item excess
postage is never seen on the credit
cash books.
I'm this particular instance the
cost OF the cable message would have
covered the insignificant little out
lays of this kind for a whole year,
wEile the interest on money out of
which the firm kept itself for over
month would amount to quite q

WHERE ARE THE FACTS?
G. D. Gilman Says the HOlOmua
Is Not Just.

81 see," said G.. d. Gilman, last
evening, that the Holomua, in
speaking of my lecture, makes
some very curious statements.
One Of them is that have, for the
past year, been 'traducing and
abusing the ex-queen. This is
false. Far from doing that, | have
written a number of letters to vari-
Gus Eastern papers, defending her
from certain attacks made upon
her, notably the one made by
Lieut.. Young.
"Another statement is that | was
a former 'peddler of bad cognac In
Lahaina.' The fact of the matter
is that l and my then partner split
upon that very ground, and l re-
tired from the firm because / was
not willing to sell liquor. The
Holomua's facts are very much
jumbled, and will not bear the
light of truth.

A Lamp Exploded.

Presence of mind on the part of
the barkeeper, and prompt assist
ance rendered by several outsiders,
prevented what might have been a
serious fire last night. The lamps
had been lit in the room over the
Pacific Saloon and a strong gust of
wind caused one of the lamps to
explode. The blaze was seen from
the opposite side of Nuuanu street
and an alarm was turned in. In
the meantime the barkeeper and
others rushed upstairs and smoth-
cred the flames with a billiard
table cover. The damage done
will not exceed $50.

During the argument by counsel
yesterday, Paul Isenberg, one of
the jurors, was suddenly taken III,
and had to leave the Court room.
An adjournment was taken until
half-past one, but DR.. Miner, who
was attending Mr.. Isenberg, forbid
him to sit in the jury again during
the day. By agreement of the
lawyers on both sides, the case was
continued with the eleven remain

Servants in China.

"In China no feature of society
is more curious than the relation
between master and servant" said
Alex T. Davidson of New Bedford,
Mass, an old sea captain, as he
sat in the rotunda of the Southern
last evening. "If the servant be of
the military class be is admitted to
the intimate society of his master,
but never assumes 4 liberty. At
dinner, having taken his place
with the utmost humility, he takes
part in the conversation, address
ing freely not only his master, but
also guests of the highest rank.
To one unacquainted with the Gus
toms Of Chinese society, the master
and servant would appear to be
upon perfectly equal terms. AS
soon as the meal is over, however,
the servant retires with most pro-
found obeisance and Difference,
and in no way will he venture to
use his peculiar privilege until the
proper occasion permits" - st.
Louis Globe Democrat.
