HE CAME FROM CHINA,

And Had Come so Suddenly That He
Bothered a Lecture.
When Mrs. Booth, the famous lee
turer, Travelled through Maine, her at
tention was called by an awkward lit
tie boy who shuffled in at a way sta
ton and with the gall of innocence
sat himself down in the double seat
that Mrs. Booth had pre-empted She
smiled and divided an orange with
him. Then she quizzed the shy little
stranger in the rusty garments.
''Do you travel much, my boy?'
''Never's on the cars before but
twict, marm."
SIS that so? Why, where do you
live?"
"China, marin"
"China! My! Aren't you long way
from home?"
"Yes'm, but 1 brought my dinner,
cos father said they'd ask like all Gre
alton for anything to eat circus day
Mrs. Booth was very much worked
up, for the thought flashed across her
mind that this innocent-looking
youngster was guying her. She leaned
forward and asked very sternly:
"Little boy, when did you leave
homer
''This morning, marm."
"Whatare you talking about? Where
is China?"
''It's over beyond Waterville piece.
You take the stage"
But Mrs. Booth turned to her book
without waiting for more information
upon the Topography of Maine.

SOME ODD THINGS IN NATURE.
InexplicabIe Operations for the Consider
alton of People Who 'Know 1t AL"

Inexplicable Operations for the Consider
alton of People Who "Know 1t AL"
There are processes of nature which
seem as inexplicable as the operation
of the mind. Why does sugar always
crystalline in a certain way and salt in
a certain other way? An infallible
test for some minerals is their form of
crystallization. Why does the mys-
terious movement of the sap in a plant
proceed with such absolute regularity
that in the leaf, say, of a variegated
geranium little coloring matter of
one shade is dropped at one point and
little of another shade at another
point, with never a mistake? Why
does nature, or rather how
does nature tell the wheat that
is grown in northern latitudes
that it must produce many seeds to
each plant so that some of them may
survive the rigor of the winter? Why
do the plants of the tropics expend all
their forces in leaf and gorgeous
flower and yield only few seeds as if
they knew that in the genial climate
where they flourish every seed stood
good chance of growing? Did the
plants learn these things themselves,
as the mice learned that it was no use
to be born with tails, and the short
horn cows learned that it was no use
to be born with disposition to give a
large flow of milk, or the trotting
horse learned that he ought to be born
with trotting instinct? These are
difficult questions, good questions to
be thought over by those very excel
lent people who are satisfied that they
'know it all"

The Face ON a Tombstone.

1t is reported that human face can
be traced on tombstone in the ceme-
terry at Stony Brook, Long Is,snd.
When examined at short range there is
nothing peculiar about the grouping
of dark spots and veins in the marble,
but seen from distance of thirty or
forty feet, the spots and lines all be-
come part Of clearly outlined whole,
with lights and shadows producing a
regular face of average size. The face
appears on the back of the stone, and
the eyes seem to be looking down
upon the ground

About Forida-

Florida has wonderful recuperative
powers. When the last cold wave
visited the peninsula, vegetation suf-
fering from the preceding one had al
really greatly revived. Frostbitten
orange trees had put forth new leaves
and were developing fruit buds. and
early vegetables had been replanted
and were in flourishing condition.
Frost that would leave its marks for
years elsewhere is forgotten in sea-
son down in Florida

An Old Pine.

Probably the most notable pipe in
New York is in a shop in Nassau

peys. 1t was afterward lost, was
found by common soldier and later
brought to this country.
