Giving Stones" of Falkland.

The most curious specimens of vege-
table or plant life in existence are the
SO called Giving stones" Of the Falk-
land islands. Those islands are among
the most Choorless spots in the world,
being constantly subjected to strong
polar wind. In such a climate it is i'm
possible for trees to grow erect, as they
do in other countries, but nature has
made amends by furnishing supply of
wood in the most curious shape imagi-
nable. The visitor to the Falklands sees,
scattered here and there, singular shaped
blocks of what appears to be weather
beaten and moss covered powders of
various sizes. Attempt to turn one of
these powders" over and you will
meet with a surprise, because the sup
posed stone is actually anchored by roots
of great strength. In fact, you will find
that You are fooling with one of the
native trees. No other country in the
world has such peculiar forest"
growth, and it is said to be next to i'm
possible to work the odd shaped blocks
into fuel, because it is perfectly devoid
of grain" and appears to be nothing
but twisted mass of woody fibers. -

THE ORIENT EXPRESS.

A bold Bulgarian shepherd boy who looked sc
like sheep,
So gentle yet so sportive in his snowy shep
herds dress,
Lay down upon the railroad track and played
he was asleep
To fool the engine driver on the Orient ex.
press.
The driver, who disdained to Stay the ram
upon the rail,
Put on the brakes, reversed the wheels and
turned his face away.
The stoker stood beside him, for it seemed his
heart would fail,
Whereat the shepherd boy stood up and
laughed and ran away.
Then came the Irish section boss the day the
train came back
And poured about barrel o. tar between
the ties that day;
So when the shepherd boy lay down the tar
upon the track
TriclSled through the whislSers of his robe
and held him where he lay.
The driver could not hear the cry that swept
the right of way,
The deathcry of the shepherd, and his soul
was filed with mirth.
He opened up the throttle valve and turned
his face away;
The train bore down upon the boy and swept
him from the earth.

CALAMITY COST A SHIRT.
Disastrous Results Followed Scheme to
=, Hide a Cigar From a Lady,

One of the most popular men in the
down town produce district is q. W.
1 Christie. His temper, however, has been
sorely tried Of late, and there is a wick
ed CLEAN in his eyes when anybody ut
ters the word Fire" in his presence.
Chris" as his friends call him,
| owns more truck horses than any other
man in the city. He also owns stock
farm in Poughkeepsie. He recently in
yited one of his friends, Fred Gebney,
banana importer, to visit his country
! place. Mr.. Gebney accepted, and both
| men started for the Grand Central sta
| ton in buggy. Chris drove.
Chris, be it said, sported an immacu-
late shirt front, in which glittered a
large diamond. The friends were bowl
| ing along Fifth avenue when Chris,
who was smoking a cigar, suddenly
started. He had seen lady friend, and
the improperly of saluting her with a
cigar in his mouth caused him to let the
weed drop, as he thought, to the bottom
of the buggy.
They had proceeded a block or so
when Ed remarked:
Something's ON fire."
'"That's So" replied Chris looking
around. 81 can smell smoke Maybe
it's in one of these buildings, and
"Great Scott! Wown' he yelled.
cts me. Caesars ghostl It's burning
me upr"
Have you got 'em?" inquired Ed.
Suppose turn in fire alarm"
Before he could make any further
comment Chris had stopped his horse,
jumped from the buggy and was execu-
ting a war dance ON the sidwealk.
Smoke was rising from beneath his
waistcoat, and the cigar, the cause of it
all, dropped to the ground
"Well, I'll be jiggered," exclaimed
Chris. His spotless shirt front was dis
colored and burned in places.
Perhaps it was the diamond" sug-
gested Ed.
Diamonds be blowedr' retorted
Chris. "Say," he added, Il can't go to
the farm looking like this. -
''Oh, that's soon remedied," replied
Ed. "Got a celluloid shirt front If
you're careful, it won't take fire, but
you mustn't smoke, and don't put the
sparkler in either.
Eds suggestion was carried out. The
journey was resumed, and when the
men returned to the city the story leak
ed out. That is why many down town
produce merchants take down their fire
extinguishers when Chris happens along.
Chris says he appreciates a joke, but
when he is invited to a business mems
dinner and receives miniature fire.

MARVELLOUS JENNY LIND.
Interesting "Reminiscences of the Swedish
Nightingale"


| Nightingale"
Among the most interesting of those
of whom John Addington Symonds gives
"reminiscences in his recently published
autobiography is Nine. Jenny Lind
Goldschmidt, of whom the image has
faded away for the present generation,
like that of all whose power was dis
played ON the ephemeral sphere of the
stage. He gives very charming &C
count of this simple minded, gracious
and womanly singer, who had the high
est devotion to her art saying, Il sing
to God, and whose home life and man.
ners were those of simple affection and
womanliness. Jenny Lind had passed
beyond the bloom of youth when Sy-
monds saw her, and her marvellous voice
was beginning to lose its power, but
her artistic method was as pure as ever,
and her expression as magical. The fol-
lowing is his impression of her singing:
mime. Goldschmidt came on second
in 'On Mighty Peans. She was quite in
black and looked to me all old, worn
lady with q large head and a small per-
son. She wore no crinoline, and her
dress, with its loose waist reminded me
of grandmamma' $. At the first tones Of
her voice l Quiyercd all over 1t was
not her wonderful execution, her pathos,
varying expression, subtle infexibility,
that surprised Inc, but the pure timbre,
which so vibrated and thrilled my very
soul that tears came into my eyes. The
volume of tone she threw out and then
diminished to whisper, which per-
meated the room; the diminuendoes and
crescendoes, the nightingale metallic
strokes, brilliant accents and floods of
swift, successive notes l expected, but 1
had not realized such quality of voice. )"
He gives a charming picture of the
home Of the Goldschmidts at Oak Lee,
and this account of the aging cantatrice
singing to her bird is very graceful:
"A blackbird hung in a cage outside
the door. Nine. Goldschmidt went up
and talked to it Come, pretty bird,
pretty, pretty little bird, do give us
little song. We want to hear you sing
so much, you pretty, pretty little bird, ,
in such a coaXing way that the bird, who
had been shy at first, got down and
came close to her and put its head ON
one side to listen. Then Nine. Gold
schmidt sang to it roulades and long
shakes and high, sharp notes which
made the bird most inquisitive. But he
! continued silent until she turned to 60,
and then he gave loud, shrill chirrup,
as if to call her back. "-Cincinnati En-

The Largest Medical Library.

A writer in the Washington Star says
that the largest and most complete med.
ical library in the world is the collec-
tion of medical works located in the
Army Medical museum, in that city,
under the care of the surgeon general S
office of the war department and the i'm
mediate supervision of DR.. John S. Bill
lings, U. S. A. 1t may be said that the
card index system of medical publica-
tons used by the library is the most
thorough and practical index of medical
works in the world. The library now
includes about 112, 900 bound volumes
and about $50, 900 pamphlets. 1t is es,
timated that this collection comprises
three-fourths of the medical literature
Of the world, and at least nine tenths OF
the medical literature which has been
published within the last ten years.

Soda Propelled Engines.

A fireless locomotive engine was re-
Gently used on the Aix-la-C hapelle
Julioh railway. The motor power is de-
rived from soda The invention is based
on the principle that solutions of caus-
tic soda, which have high boiling points,
liberate heat while absorbing steam.
These engines eject neither smoke nor
steam and work noiselessly. Compared
with coal burning locomotives, soda en-
gines show capacity equal to the for
mer, while they are worked with greater
ease and simplicity.

THE WOODS BY NIGHT.
Sounds, Sights and Shadows Among the

Sounds, Sights and Shadows Among the
Trees and Bushes.
''Sit still in the woods at night and
look and listen," said an old time nat
uralist to me one day, land you will
see or hear strange things, not to be
seen or heard save by rarest chance in
the busy hours of the day"
thought of the remark as I sat per-
fectly still in a small opening of the
Adirondack woods at the close of one
day last summer. 1t was twilight, and
out of the dim, uncertain light doomed
the outlines of the tree in the valley and
of the Ampersand mountain in the dis
lance. Quickly saw the shadow of a
moving figure, which l made out to be
that of fox. How stealthily the sly
fellow crept along! He made no noise;
not twig broke beneath his catlike
tread.
AS he turned, for the first time he
noticed Inc. He looked at me, and !
looked at him. Then reynard revealed
the cunning of his kind. Still keeping
his eye on me, he sided away until he
reached the dark shades and recesses,
when he disappeared Ill an instant.
l knew reynard was out ON his night
ly foraging expedition. Perhaps he was
looking for wild rabbit or fat par,
fridge, or perhaps he intended to rob
some farmer of his choicest fowls. The
fox is night traveller. He makes his
journey after dark, finds his dinner and
retires always before the break of day.

FAST DAY IN THE COURTS
BUSINESS WAS UNUSU1LLY DUEL
 IN THE CITY COURT.

Several Petty offenders Found Guilty by
 Judge Dow-DrLnkenness the Principal
 Crime-other Cases Disposed of at Yester-
 day Mornings Session.
 Assistant Judge Edwin c. Dow pre- sided over the Fast day exercises at the city court yesterday morning. There were numerous offenders before the court, but the cases were in the main of a decidedly petty nature.
 Antone Reshone, an Italian in poor circumstances, was charged with tres passing on the property of the Consoli- dated railroad and stealing coals. As he could not speak English, through an interpreter he pleaded ignorance of the law. Judge Dow suspended judgment on both charges.
 Daniel Doherty, a transient, was called upon to face the charges of tres pass and breaking windows. He was found Thursday evening in caboose in the freight yard asleep. One of the windows of the caboose was broken. Doherty claimed that he came east from St. Louis on a freight train. He was fined $10 and costs and sent to jail for ten days.
 The case against Ricardo Gillandano of Westville, charged with non-support, was nolled. Gillandano had his wife in court and she testified that she and her husband had become reconciled and she was allowed to take him home after he had been enjoined "to go and sin no more"
 Harry Brown, proprietor of the Win chester hotel at Ashmun and Henry streets was charged with violation of the liquor law de way of access. When the case was called he produced hotel license, which permits of a communica- tion between the living apartments and the bar, and the states case having in consequence fallen through. Brown was discharged by Judge Dow.
 The other cases disposed of were as follows Timothy Costello, drunk, $6 fine, s6,17 costs; Annie Howard, drunk, $6.17 costs, thirty days in jail; Lizzie Phelps, drunk, $3 fine, $617 costs; James Donahue, drunk, $6.17 costs, thirty days; John Cashion, drunk, $5 fine, $617 costs; Michael Kadesky, embezzlement, by bailee, continued until April 13

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 17.-Another
burglary has taken place iu this city. This
time it is the stationery store of Fiske &
Johnston. and as usual, there is no clue to
the perpetrators. Entrance to the build
ing was gained through rear door and
the intruders confined their attention to a
show case containing pocket knives, and to
a shelf laden with toys, carrying off a
number of these articles. The jewelry de-
partment, cash drawer and safe were not
disturbed and it is therefore supposed that
the deed was accomplished by boys. The
value OF the goods stolen is perhaps $40.
The train which is supposed 10 arrive
here at 1908 was delayed until 80 p. IN.
yesterday. owing to an accident to the en-
CINE near Rincon. The engineer wired to
Los Angeles for another locomotive, and it
was promptly sent, but on reaching the
train it was found that the regu ar engine
mad been repaired sufficiently to enable it
10 proceed to this city.
