THE FLOWER OF DEATH.

In the mountains of Mexico, high up in
the most inaccessible passes or buried
within the deepest gorges, there grows
strange flower which the natives call s'The
Flower Of Death" From their descrip-
ton of it, the plant must belong to the
great cactus family, whose name is more
than legion in that part of the world, vet
1t is, however, devoid of thorns. and the
heavy succulent leaves exude viscid
fluid which will burn into solid rock like
strong acid. In shape the flower resem-
bles two calla lilies placed face to face.
Instead of the gracefully tapered point
OF the lily, however, the two petals of the
flower of death are quite short and thick,
presenting the awful appearance of part
ed livid lids, through which the red pistil
protrudes like horrid bleeding tongue
1t is said that this flower gives out an
odor so penetrating and so intensely disa-
greeable that buzzards are frequently at
tracted by it, mistaking it for their right
full spoil. This of itself it horrible to con-
template, and yet the half is not told, for
so noXious is the poison of the flower that
no man can smell it and live In Mexico
one hears stories of many an unwary
traveller who has come to an untimely
death by inhaling the poisonous breath of
this curious flower, and the mountain ban
dts no doubt, know very well how to
have it held accountable for the death of
many of their own victims.
Another curious but less harmful plant
is the milkweed, which abounds in the
arid regions of both Texas and Mexico.
1t is quite handsome bu h. with its parti-
colOred green and white leaves, the two
colors being very delicately and graceful
ly traced the one upon the other, and it is
beginding to find its way as an ornamen-
tai plant in some of our Eastern gardens
and greenhouses. Upon its native heath
it grows to quite considerable size, reach
ing frequently to the height of six or sew
Ell feet, and of course shows to the best
advantage then.
When the stem of this plant IS broken
there flows from it an abundant stream of
milk, which is sufficiently strong to burn
into the cuticle if it is allowed to touch
the flesh, creating an unpleasant smarting
sensation. This quality makes the plant
pretty much in demand for marking cat
tie, as the hair is removed wherever the
milk is applied an no further harm is done
to the animal. In this way it is quite
boon to cattle-stealers, as an application
can be made with it much easier than a
branding iron and the same purpose is
served. 1t would be impossible to form
an estimate of how many cows change
hands every year through the mediation
of this plant, yet the number is by no
means incOnsiderable.

| was sitting in the club the other after
noon when the captain and the major came
in, accompanied by Il very much sunburn-
ed stranger. They disposed themselves
comfortably and began to talk. Whenever
see the captain and the major thus en-
gagged make it Il point always to join
them Not because expect to hear many
new stories Il know their yarns rs well as
they know them thcmSelvcS) hut because
the ingenuity with which they alter and
add to the old ones is most amusing to me
than novelty could ever be.
The dear old captain has spent most of
his life upon the sea. and he must have
lived very actively indeed t" see and do all
the wonderful things of which he tells;
for, although he would be the first to re-
sent any suggestion that he is not quite so
Young rs he once was, ii is difficult to see
how ANYBODY outside of the Arabian Nights
could accomplish SO much in less than
century. Philosophers tell us that the i'm
pressions we receive in youth are the most
vivid and enduring, and upon this notion
certain irrcvcrcnt gentlemen have based
theory of the captain. They say that in
his bovhood he was devoted to the litera-
ture of romantic adventure, and that the
impressions he received thercfrom were so
strong that in after life he could only ac-
count for them by concluding that he had
personally lived through them. Far be it
from me, however, to endorse any such
idea The captain is a very wonderful
man.
The major is also Il very extraordinary
person, but in different way. All his life
has been spent on land; and, while the
captain was forced to Stru rglr for existence
agaist pirates and storms and whales and
sharks and other watery perils, the major
had to maintain himself in the face of
every known danger of the earthly sort
from Indians and ''GrcaScrs' to grizzly
bears and rattlcsnakes This is one reason
why these two are such firm friends: their
experiences have been of so widely differ
qualified to contradict or criticise the 9TH

WEAK, TIRED, NERVOUS,

Means impure blood, and overwork or to
much strain on brain and body The on
ly way to cure is to feed the nerves on
pure blood. Thousands of people certi-
fly that the best blood purifier, the best
nerve tonic and strength builder is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. What it has done for 9th
ers it will also do for you-Hoods Cures.
Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of ap-
petite and general debility all disappear
when Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep,
strong body, sharp appetite, and in a
word, health and happiness follow the use
of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The strong point about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is that they are permanent, because
they start from the solid foundation of
purified, vitalized and enriched blood.

THE HUMAN HAND.

If one examines the hands of large
number of persons with nervous endow-
ment, he will find curious defects in the
length and relative proportions of the fin
gers. The length of the fingers is deter
mined bv that of the middle one. If the
index and medus are closed upon the PALM
the ring and the little finger being left ex-
tended, the middle finger will reach close
runs down, between the ball of the thumb
and that of the little finger. 1t will touch
the palm just below the highest part of
the ball of the thumb The middle finger
is taken as the standard of length by which
to gauge that of the others. In normal
hand the fOrefinger reaches Just to the
root of the nail of the middle finger; the
ring finger is longer, and should reach
nearly to the middle of the nail of the me-
dius, while the little finger should reach
to the last joint of the third finger. Now,
in inebriates, epileptict, neurotics, and the
degenerate generally, these proportions
are not often observed. The most com-
mon defect is shortness, especially of the
third ard little fingers, though sometimes
these fingers are unnaturally slender, OF
little finger is slightly bent. The most
common abnormality of the thumb is ex-
cessive shortness, with defective mobil-
ity. These peculiarities, well accentua-
ted form what we may call the ''decadent
hand''-the hand that writes our sensuous
novels, the Hauptmann drama, paints
symbolic pictures, and exploits pure athe-
ism. Such hands may be well formed to
the ordinary eye, and may be attached to
slender and graceful limbs. But this kind
of beautiful hand and arm is found quite
as often among the children of alcoholics
and among those highly cultivated fami-
lies which have become degenerate by
vices and vicius crossing.

THE DEAD DOLL.

You need not be trying to comfort me- tell you my
dolly is dead;
There's no use saying she isn't. with crack like
that in her head.
Its just like you said it wouldn't hurt much to have
my tooth out that day,
Aud then when the man most pliled my head off
yon hadn't word to say.
When my mamma gave me that ribb on-I was play
ing ont in the yard
she said to me most expressly, "Here's ribbon tor
Hdegarde,''
saw me do it.
And | said myself, 80. never mind, l don't be-
lieve she knew it,
But know tha she knew 1t now, and just believe
| do,
That her poor little heart was broken, AMI so her
head broke too.
q, my dolly my little baby. | with my head had
been hit,
For I've hit it over and over and it hasut cracked
bit.
But, since the darling is deal, she'll want to be
buried, of course;
We will take my little wagon, nurse, and you shall
be the horse,
And I'll walk behind and cry, and we'll put her in
this, you see,
This dear little box and well bury her then under
the maple tree.
And papa will make her tombstone, like the one
he made for my bird
And he'll put what tell him on yes, every sin
gle word!
shall say, "IIere lies Hildegarde, beautiful doll,
who is dead;
She died of a brok III heart and dreadful crack in
her head"

The carrier-pigeon when travelling new
on without stopping to take nutriment,
and at last arrives thin, exhausted, almost
dying. If corn be presented to it, it re-
fuses, contcnting itself with drinking a
little water and then sleeping. Two hours
later it begins to eat with great modera-
tion, and sleeps again Immediately after

longed, the pigeon will proceed in this
manner for forty-eight hours before re-
covering its normal mode of feeding.

1t is often supposed that boys in grow
ing keep ahead of girls; but recent meas
urements disprove this. The boys, up to
their eleventh year, were found to run
about a quarter to half an inch taller than
the girls. They were tn N overtaken by
the girls, who surpassed them in height
till their sixteenth year, when the boys
again grew faster than the girls, and came
to the front.

IN SPRINGTIME,
EY WILLIAM STRTTIIERS.
A wandering wind voice wOOS mine
With such pleading of delight;
As if it burst not speak out clear,
Lest its new gladness should take flight
And evanescent as that sound
The colors of the countryside
DO simmer, while they hover round
The trees, so long a veil denied.
The pink hepltca salutes
The purple violet on the hill;
The frog quaint loveditty flutes
That through the marShland sends thrill.
And, OH the quickening of of the grass!
See how its little blades upeap!
Spring dancing footballs DER them pass
And bid them wake from wintrv sleep
Like yellow flames upon the lawn
Missouri current bushes show;
While the dank glades gleam like the dawn,
Where gold tipped adders tongues do glow.
And such fragrance fingers nigh:
As though the joy OF coming flowers
Were heraded to earth and sky
By sunshine, dew, and tleeting showers
NY heart is like the childrehs eyes
That gaze with eager fantasy:
For it all forest paths disguise
Some charming scene of witchery.
The expectancy of happiness
Makes it a truant to grave moods:
No pining must it dare confess;
No memory that sadly nroods.
