The Century Plant Is Valuable.

The century plant is a species OF
cactus, which natures at different
ages in different climates. In tropical
countries it attains it's perfect state in
about ten years, while in colder cllm-
ates It often requires from seventy
years to q full century to reach its
maturity. When the plant has
matured it sends up a stem which
grows to the height of from twenty
four to thirty-siX feet, out of which
grows numerous branches, forming a
perfect cylindrical pyramid, I'd each
ia crowded with cluster of grcenlsh,
yellow flowers, which continues in
perfect bloom for several months.
After Towering the plant always dies
to the ground, but the root continues
to live and send up new shoots. The
century plant, or Agave Americana,
its botanical name, grows through all
the central part of the Americon Con-
tinent, from Mexico to Chile. 1t is
called the maguey in South America
and the mezcal in Mexico. From the
leaf fihres of the plant a coarse flax
is made. The dried flower stems make
a thatch which is perfectly impervious
to rain. From its sap is obtained a
fermented liquor known as pulque.
From the centre of the stem, split
longitudinally, substitute for hone
or razor strop is obtained and an ex-
tract of the leaves is made into soap
balls, which are largely used in Mexico
for washing.

A Truthful Fortune Teller.

Even in this Intelligent age of the
world there are too many people who
believe in the humbuggery of fortune
telling" but if all so-called fortune
telIers were as frank as the one men
toned in the following story, which is
borrowed from the Detroit Free Press,
and may or may not be true, they
would have fewer patrons than they
now have.
A man was having his fortune told.
II see," said the Seventh daughter OF
the seventh daughter" contracting her
eyebrows, II see the name of john"
"Yes," said the sitter, indicating that
he had heard the name before.
"The name seems to have given you

'.This John is an intimate friend"
"That's co." he said, wonderingly.
"And often leads you to do things
you are sorry for"
"True; every word"
"His influence over yon is bad"
"Right again."
"But you will soon have serious
quarrel, when you will become es.
ranged"
"I'm glad of that. Now spell out
his whole name"
The fortune teller opened one eye
and carefully studied the face of the
visitor. Then she wrote some cabalis-
tic message. and handed it to him in
exchange for her fee.
"Do not read it until you are home, "
she said, solemly. at is your friends

When he reached home he lit the
gas and gravely examined the paper.

Not Much to Ask.-A stout, chol
eric-looking man hurried into street
car, on day when the rain was pour
ing in torrents, and glared angrlly
about, evidently much displeased thai
there was no scat for him, although
there were plenty of other people
clutching at the straps. or swaylne
about, with more or less cheerful coun-
tenances.
With a snort of displeasure the man
planted himself in front of meek
and unoffending spincer who was
squeezed tightly into one corner of the
car, and placed his umbrella, from
which was running a perfect stream ol
water, directly on one of her feet.
She looked up at him in mild dis
may, but he stared straight over he1
head, with a most unpleasant express
sion.
After a moment or two, she said in
a clear though perfectly courteous
tone:
"Would you be kind enough, sir, to
remove your umbrella to my other foot
for moment, 80 that may empty my
rubber ?"
Every one at that end of the car
smiled, except the man, who beat a
retreat to the platform, without SO
much as saying, II beg your par
don"

Cigarettes.

Do you care to know how they are
made? 1 think can enlighten you
An Italian boy only eight years old
was brought before a justice in New
York city as a vagrant, or, in other
words, a young tramp. But with
what did the officer charge him
Only with picking up cigar stumps
from the streets and cutters. To prove
this he showed the boys basket, hall
full of stumps, Water-soaked and GOV.
cred with mud.
What do you do with these ?"
asked his honor.
What do you think was his answer
/ 81 sell them to Il man for ten cents q
pound, to be used in making cigar,
cites"
Not particularly agreeable piece OF
information, is it, boys?
! In our large cities there are a great
many cigar butt grubbers, as they are
called. 1t certainly is not pretty
name, though very appropriate fol-
for it is applied to boys and girls who
scour the streets in search of half
burned cigars and stumps, which are
dried and then sold to be used in
making cigarettes.
But this isn't all, nor even the worst
oft. These cigarettes have been anal
yzed, and physicians and chemists
were surprised to find how much opium
is put into them. A tobacconist him
self says that "the extent to which
drugs are used in cigarettes is appall-
ing" Havana favoring" for this
same purpose is sold everywhere by
the thousand barrels. This favOring
is made from the tonka bean, which
contains deadly poison. The wrap
pers warranted to he rice paper, are
sometimes made of common paper,
and sometimes of filthy scrapings OF
rag pickers bleached white with arsen-
ic. What cheat to be practised on
people!
A bright boy of thirteen came un-
der the spell of cigarettes. He grew
stupid and subject to nervous twitch-
ings, till finally he was obliged to give
up his studies. When asked why he
didn't throw away his miserable Gig
arettes, the poor boy replied with tears
that he had often tried to do so, but
could not.
Another boy of eleven was made
crazy by cigarette smoking, and taken
to an insane asylum in Orange Coun-
ty, N. Y. He was regarded as vio-
lent and dangerous maniac, exhibiting
some of the symptoms peculiar to hy-
drophobia.
The white spots on the tongue and
inside the cheeks, CALLED smokers
patches, are thought by Sir Morell
McKensie to be more common with
users of cigarettes than with other
smokers.-Sunday School Visitor.

A teacher in a public school gave out
a list of words to be defined and put
in sentences. Among them was the
word "chasm." A little girl looked
in the dictionary and not being quite
satisfied, inquired if "chasm" meant
"gap."
The teacher absently replied yes, but
was astonished when she presented
her paper with this sentence: "When
1 am sleepy, 1 always chasm."
But this is hardly equal to another
teachers experience in little district
school some years ago. She gave ou
words for analysis. Bank note" was
one of them. and the teachers aston
ishment may be imagined when one
young lady brought the following
unique analysis
"Bank-note is a compound, primi
word, composed of bank and note.
Bank is a simple word, meaning the
side a stream note to set down
'Bank-note,' to set down by the side
of stream"

Catching Monkeys.-I suppose every
boy has seen q monkey, but l doubt
whether every boy knows one way in
which they catch monkeys. 1t is very
natural for monkey to initiate any
thing he sees a man do, and some
times when the hunters have gone
after monkeys, and found hundreds OF
them in the tops of trees, they have
devised a plan by which they may he
able to easily catch them alive. The
men will stand under the trees and
quill their boots off and then put them
on again, several times. After this
thew will leave some boots with tar in
the bottom of them under the tree and
20 away. The monkeys will come
down from the trees, and 60 to try
ing on the boots. Of course, they
will get their feet caught in the tar,
and then they cannot climb the trees,
and the men can make them an easy
prey.
l have thought sometimes that this
was one of the ways in which Satan
catches boys, by getting them to want
to do certain things that they have
seen men do, and by which boys are
led into sin, ] want to warn the boys
that before they attempt to initiate
sinful men, they should be sure there
Is no tar in the boots.

Now, Mamie did not like to hem
napkins any better than you do; but
she went at once to her work basket,
took out her needle and thread and
thimble, and began work. Pretty soon
she heard sound of music. 1t came
nearer, and at last it sounded right in
front of the house She dropped her
sewing to run to the window and then
she stopped. "No; I promised moth

to herself. And she sat down again,
and went to sewing.
Soon the door burst open, and in

Mamie, where are you? There's a
monkey out here, and trained dog
and they're playing lovely tricks.

II can't; I promised mother, and

They coaxed and scolded, but all to
no purpose 80 they left her.

Mamie.
"Why mother, I didn't save any
body's life, or do anything brave; !
only kept my PROMISE" answered
Mamie, wonderingly.
"It is sometimes harder to keep
promise, and do ones duty, than to
save q life. You did q brave, noble
thing and thank God for you, my

The One Who IL Missed.

We have seldom seen more Touching and beaut
ful little poem than the following. twill wake ii
nohlest sentiments and emotions of every heart
The three beautiful children knccl at night
BY the mothers side to pray
But ever she misses with the aching heart
The one who Is gone away.
And if yOu ask her which Of these
is the darling she cannot say;
Bnt Of all of her children the dearest one
Is the one who went away.
Gay ringing voices fill the house,
And thrill her with love and pride;
But none Of the all has tones so sweet
AZ The little one who died.
And which are the lovecst, who can tell:
These, eyes brown, blue and gray;
Eut none have the look of the violet eyes
OF the who went away.
Here Is Alice, graceful, pure and fair,
Brave Charlie and gentle May:
Bnt the sw, ttest, luveliest one Of all
Was the one who went away.
These rest at night In the mothers care,
Cl0sesbeltered from harm and cold;
But the safest of al is the little one
In the Savinurs guarded fold.

Valuable Suggestion Contained in Gov.
Morton's Message.
Gov. Morton's inaugural message con-
tains among other good suggestions
one that is of particularly great impor-
tance. He merely touches on the sub
ject, but the hint might be taken as
well by legislatures Of other states as
by the assembly of New York:
The subject Of good roads is also commended
to the attention of the legislature. 1t is sug-
gested that convict labor may find employment
in this direction, particularly as a constitu-
tional amendment which takes effect two years
hence forbids the state from employing con-
victs at the state and county prisons jails and
reformatories in any industrial art or useful
occupation in competition with the work or
products of the people
The attention of other people than
the bicyclist and Coxey lately has been
directed toward the subject of good
roads. This is practically roadless
country. The best of our country wag-
on roads would not compare with the
worst roads in the remote north of Eng
land or in Germany and France OF
course the older countries gained mo-
BILE heritage from the road building
Romans in this respect, whereas on
this side of the water the railways
came SO quickly after the open
ing of the country that road-build-
ing seemed an idle pursuit. Here and

Some of the Different Kinds, and the Pc
culiar Merits of Each.
OF all the roots with which horses
are tempted the carrot, as a rule, is the
favorite and perhaps the most beneti-
cial. 1t is said to be somewhat diu-
retic in its effect and to exercise sa-
luxurious influence on the skin. Ger
tain i is tl,.t sick loIsc may be
coaxed into eating carrots when disin-
clined to partake of other nourish-
ment, with the greatest beneficial re-
suits. For the failing horse carrots
are most valuable as an article of diet,
and a few may be given with advan-
tage to horse in healthy condition.
Oatmeal is extremely nutritious, and
as a food for the convalescent horse is
most valuable. The bruising process
the grain has undergone breaks the
husk and renders it more easily acted
upon by the digestive organs 1t is
usually given in the form of Cruel
and in that form it is one of the most
essential articles of diet for the infirm-
airy. Linseed is decidedly to be in
Guided in the sick diet roll. 1t is nu-
tritious, and from its oleaginous nature
soothing to the frequently irritable
mucous membrane of the alimentary
canal, and hence is TO be particularly
recommended in the treatment of sore
Threats. Nor is its bland effect local
only; its more general influence is par
ticularly observable in affections of the
kidneys.-N " World.
