Travellers who Waited or passed the Cape
Negro country Of Africa oftep heard from
the natives Of plant that was part spider,
and that, growing, threw Its legs about In
continual struggles TO escape, II was the
good fortune Of DR. Wslwitsch 70 discover
the origin Of the legend. StroUihg along
through wind swept tableland country,
he came upon plant that rested low upou
the ground, but had two enormous leaves
that blew and twisted about in The wind
like serpents-in fact, it looked, as the ma
tives had said, like gigantic spider. Its
stem was feet across and but foot high
1t had but two leaves in reality, that wer
8 or 8 feet long, and split up by The WIND
so that they resembled ribbons. This i.
probably the most extraordinary tret
known. 1t grows for nearly II not quito n
century, but never upward beyond about
foot, simply expanding until it reaches
the diameter given, looking in its adult
state like singular stool on the plain
from 10 to is foet in circumference.
When the wind came rushing in from
the sea, lifting tho curious ribbonlike
leaves and tossing them about, ID almost
seemed to the discoverer that the strange
plant had suddenly become imbued with
life and was struggling to escape. When n
description and picture Of the plant were
sent to England, 1t WINS, like many other
discoveries, discredited, but soon the plant
itself was received, and today WelWitschia
mirabilis Is well known to botanists and
stands first among the unique productions
of the vegetable world. -Northwestern
Christian Advocate.

DR.. Parkhurst created quite sensation
in his pulpit on Sunday morning by stat
ing that body Of men, several OF whom
were clergymen and elders. had voted to
apply certain sum OF money In a way
that was not specified by the donors. and
which was actually dlstasteful to a mum
her OF them. 'If it had been one man that
has misapproprlat ID funds In that way 1t
would have been rascaliy and he would
have felt 1t to be such and the associated
act OF body Of men was every bit as
raseally." This is pretty severe language
and II warranted the Doctor should have
been more explicit so that the enorml ty
OF the offence could have been properly
estimated by his hearers.
Money has often bsen raised for spec.
HE'D purpose that could have been ex.
pended In another way to have done a
greater amount Of good Such may have
been the case with the above clergy.
men and elders, and the Doctor at any
rate should have exercised a little charity
toward them, as without charity we have
become as sounding brass or tinkllrg
cymbals. The Doctor. however asplres
to the role OF reformsr, and being i'm.
macnlate. can safely throw the first stone.
He has got the beam out of his own eve
and is prepared to assist his brethren to
get the mote out OF theirs, II the Doc.
tor had net already performed such a
large amount OF refornatory work We
might wonder II everything that giitters
was made Of pure gold The clergy should
rise and eXplaln.
