Treasure Troye In AN Attic.

a short time ago a young woman OF
Medford, while rummaging in her
fathers attic. came across an old rcti-
Guile in which there were half II dozen
old stamps. The rcticule had been
there since 1862, and, thinking that
the stamps might be valuable from
their age, she took them to her father
and asked him TO inquire into their
value. Last week, to her surprise,
her father told her that for her in
tcrcst in tho stamps he would pay her
fare to Washington and back. and
her expenses for a two weeks visit
there. This sounds like n very liberal
offer, but it is probably not so much
so rs it seems. The expenses Of such
n trip might be about $50, while tho
stamps are worth about $50. They
are the Scent pink, of the issue of
1861, and are valued in the new cata-
logue, which is just coming out. at
SO each. In the old catalogue they
were offered at 50, but they have be-
come SC rare that tine price has been
put up. Although they could proba-
bly, not be sold to q dealer for that
price, they are sufficiently valuable to
make it a lucky nd.-Boston Tran.

jew the Only Correct Name,

jew refers to the religion which the
Jews profess. Hebrew refers to a
language which they no longer speak,
and has consequently no meaning at
the present time. Israelite refers to
a nation which they at ono time
formed, and it has at present no sig
MITIGATION except when reference is
made to the ancient nation. The Jews
are a religious community, and tina,
is all that separates them, or rather
distinguishes them from their fellow

selves Hebrews. A few who do not
know any better may call themselves

know what is right call themselves

A French scientist. NJ. Ragonneau,
has Just discovered how to make q
plant grow from a seed in thirty min
utes as much as il would under ordi-
nary circumstances in as many days,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Here
tofore nature has shared this secret
with the loghis Of India alone, and
the methods pursued 10y these clever
magicians in performing this trick
have often been described. They
plant a seed in the earth and cover
ii with a cloth. In q few moments
the cloth begins to be pushed upward
by the growing plant, which in Il short
time attains the height of several feet.
Various theories have been advanced
as to the modus operandi Of this mir
acle. one Of the latest being that the
spectators are all hypnotizcd by the
magician.
During his travels in India VI. Rag
onneau saw the trick performed FIRE.
%quently, and noticed that the lIindoos
always imbedded the seed in soil
which they brought with them especial
ly prepared for that purpose. At last
he learned that they obtained this
earth from ant hills. Now, as every
one knows who has mad vcrtently
eaten one Of those Industrious insects,
ants contain a large proportion Of
fornic acid, with which in time the
soil Of their habitations becomes
charged. This acid has the power of
quickly dissolving the integument
surrounding q seed and Of greatly
stimulating the growth of the germ
within.
After a little experimenting with
this acid the learned Frenchman was
able to duplicate perfectly the llindoo
trick. His further researches have
led him to believe that this discovery
may be proGtably applied to agricul-
ture. BY infusing ants in boiling
water acid a. strong as vinegar can
be obtained. NJ. Ragonncau has
achieved the best results and most per-
feet growth by using earth moistened
with a solution of 5000 parts of water
and one Of acid.

mysterious race OF so-called Indians
in Southern Delaware. They are a
swarthy people, with some strong
traits of the redmen, though there are

NAUTCH GIRLS OF TANJORE.

appears almost u Transformation or
reincarnation Of the performer into the
cobra, which she represents. SAYS All
the Year Round. Instincts inherited
from bvgone generations OF Nautch
dancers combine with close observa-
ton OF nature to produce miraculous
results. The Nautch girl lives to please,
and lahors for that end with the sue
cess which attends the ~unwcaried pur-
suit of one absorbing object. Universal
influence and fascination still belong
To her. though in Il narrower range
than of old. and the dancer Of Taniorc.
who concentrates the whole force of
her genius upon the requirements Of
her art. differs as much from the
ordinary Nautcn girl OF India as a
! masterpiece of Raphael from the sign
board which swings before the rustic
inn. Every feature of the mobile
face reflects the passing sentiment OF
the moment in the drama d~elincated
with consummatc skill; the dark eyes
fash with fury. fill with tears. or melt
with tenderness, according TO the
exigencies of the varying situation,
and in the nervous energy which
throbs and pa~lpitates through every
vein and fiber of the elastic and eX-
quisitely proportional frame, the tide
of life seems to glow through the veil
Of flesh like some mystic fame burn
ing in q crystal lamp. The Nautch
| girls form a distinct caste. and ical-
ously retain their immemorial rights
and privileges. They exercise their
own laws and customs with the indie
pendence of control gained by a wider
experience of life than that permitted
TO their Indian sisters.

A CHA RIVER MONSTER,
The New Reptile in Possession
of the Central Park
Authorities.
Discovered In Arizona and South
America-lts Bite Is Not
VenomouS.

The Central Park menagerie now pos
sesses a ella monster. The ella monster
is one of the most peculiar reptiles in the
United States, says the New York CORE
spondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
This monster occupies box with glass
front in Director Smiths room at the ar
senal. 1t was presented by Matthew Judge
of this city. 1t is about fifteen inches long
q very fair size.
The body is broad and of a pleasing
checkered design. The background is pink
and the markings brown. The tail is long.
1t is the head, however, which is the mon
ster's most effective feature. 1t is thick
and broad, and over the large round eyes
are horny protuberances.
1t moves about briskly on four little
legs, shooting out its forked tongue con-
tinually as snake does. This habit is re-
garded as threat by the ignorant, but
probably the monster is only fishing for
insects.
The monster lives largely on birds eggs.
which it takes from the nest. Hard boiled
with much relish. Previous experience has
shown that they are the best food for the
monster in captivity.
The opinion seems to prevail at the me-
nagerie that the monsters bite is deadly,
but that is not supported by competent
geological authorities. An immense
amount of fiction has been written con-
corning this reptile. 1t was first discov-
cred in the ella River Valley, in Arizona,
and is found from there to South America.
Few specimens have been found in this

For the past three years the South Fork
OF the American River, which takes its
source few miles this side of Lake Tahoe
and meets the North Fork near the State
prison at Folsom, has had its turbulent
waters vexed with logs and log drives.
The American River, which is located
almost in the center of Northern Califor-
MIA. IS especially adapted to the purposes
OF log-driving, with the exception of few
places where it is hemmed in on the sides
by precipitous rocks and mountains. In
these places it is difficult to navigate on
account of the swift-running current, the
numerous rocks, eddies and rapids.
In Pine Grande, about nine miles from
Placerville, may be heard the ring of the
woodsman's ak and the crash of the fall
ing pine. The trees are here stripped of
their branches and bark and cut into
lengths from eighteen to twenty feet long
they are put on fiatcars and hauled about
eight miles over q small narrow-gauge rail-
road, which runs along the top of mount
ain ridge.
At the end of this ridge is the largest
chute in the world, it being 5000 feet long,
with fall of 100 feet.
The circular trough of the chute is
formed by the arrangement of seven logs;
