Flowers in North Carolina.
Baltimore Herald.

Baltimore Herald.
North Carolina has scenery within
her bounds not surpassed in beauty or
grandeur by Switzerland or the Tyrol.
On the bold hillsides, in the rocky ra-
vines, in the cool. dark valleys of the
"Pine Tree State" bloom wild flowers
in the greatest profusion. From early
spring, when yellow ]essamin load the
air with perfume, there is a succession
OF spontaneous flower growth that de-
lights the heart Of every active flower
lover, florist and botanist Pink honey
suckles, fair hawthorn blossoms, ivy
and box leaves and pipsissiwa embroid-
er the green earth and scent the atmos-
phere.
The wild laurel encroaches on the
bay trees. whose white, rOsinOus scented
flowers are fringed by young maidens
as .'loye tokens and "miniature mag
nolias, but the laurel blooms are far
more beautiful, springing forth in fas-
c!cles Of flowers, whose wheel-f0rm
corallas are pale pink, speckled with
maroon.
IN North Carolina every fence Is
adorned with blackberry vines. And
these vines and their blossoms are not
only ornamental, but the fruit IS a
source of great profit to the Old North
State.
1t is the Western part OF North Car
DINA that is most famed for its natural
bea1,ties--the regions Of the mountains
the "Pilot," Hickory Nut Gap and
"Bald Mountain," among whose cool
grottoes, native arbors and hurting
crags CROW flowers of indescribable ex-
quisiteness.
\ fail trip in that mountainous coun-
try seems the realization Of some beau
tiful dream-you breathe a bland and
golden atmosphere, you gaze on lovely,
softly tinted skies, and the forest pre-
sents an array Of splendid colors abso-
lutelv dazzling in Its brightness

The Burnin g Tree.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
There has lately been added to the
collection of plants at the botanic gar
den at Madras, India, a specimen OF
strange tree. 1t is in size scarcely more
than bush, but other individuals of
its species are known to have attained,
in their habitat in the Himalayas,
Burma and the Malacca Peninsula,
the dimensions of large tree, from
fifty to seventy-five feet in height. The
Madras specimen is surrounded by a
strong railing, which bears the sign,
''Dangerous-al persons are forbidden
to touch the leaves or branches of this
tree"
1t is, therefore, a forbidden tree In
the midst of the garden, but no one is
tempted to touch it, for it is known to
be burning tree" This name Is
misnomer, for the tree stings rather
than burns Beneath the leaves there
are stings comparable to those of net
ties, which, when touched, pierce the
skin and secrete a fluid which certainly
has burning effect.
The sting leaves no outward sign, but
the sensation of pain persists sometimes
for months, and is especially keen on
damp days, or when the part that has
been wounded is plunged in water.
The natives In the part of Burmah
| where this tree grows are in such ter
ror of it that they fly in haste when
they perceive the peculiar odor which
it exhales. If they happen to touch it,
thev fall on the ground and roll over
and over on the earth with shrieks.
Dogs touched by 1t yelp and run, biting
| and tearing the part Of their bodies
which has been touched.
| A horse which bad come in contact
with a "burning tree" ran about like
mad thing, biting everything and
everybody that it could reach. A mis-
sionary at Mandalay, who Investigated
leaf of the plant with his forefinger,
suffered agony tor several weeks, and
for ten months suffered occasional
darting pains in his finger.

Carlyle says that you can tell how

he sings.
However this may be, it is certainly
true that in nine cases out OF ten that
you can tell what sort OF a man the bov
will make from seeing him at play
when he Is obliged to stay indoors
without a companion. Lord (then
plain WIlliam) Armstrong, the famous
engineer, was a delicate boy, and one
winter when six years old was confined
to the house for months To amuse
himself he set several old spinning
wheels in motion by weights descend
ing on string from top to bottom of
the house over the staircase railing.
Friends and relatives brought me-
chanical toys for the little prisoner,
which he at once pulled to pieces. 1t
was not satisfactory to see Jack" jump
up In the box when the lid was raised
He would know what made "Jack"
spring up.
One day, while fishing near a rustic
mill the water wheel attracted his at
tention, because it was fed by a rill
above which descended from a height
of nearly one hundred feet. Seeing
that only 20 feet of descent was utilized,
he pondered the question, "Why not
use the whole descent of the stream as
motive power" A swinging lamp
in a church suggested to Galileo the
pendulum as means Of measuring
time, and Armstrong saw in the rill
power tor a hydraulic crane.
He lnyented one, and 1t attracted
the attention of leading engineers

most of our readers know, identified

facture of large projectiles and the
building of mighty vessels of war;

The late Professor Lincoln. of Brown
University, used to relate a striking
incident for the sake Of inspiring Young
men with feeling of reverence for the
masters of the intellectual world. II
was scene which he Witnessed az
Berlin when he was attending session
OF the Royal Academy OF Sciences.
a large company Of learned mcn
had gathered in handsome academic
hall. The members were seated nj n
long table, at the head of which va.
the platform occupied by the officers
Professor Lincoln took "A seat near the
door, and listened to a paper which one
Of the learned men was reading.
The door was quietly opened while
nearly all the members were sitting
with their backs to it, A venerable
man, with STOPPING figure and an
infirm step, softly crossed the threshold.
and seemed anxious to avoid observa-
ton. One of the mem bers at the table
happened to turn his head, and caught
sight OF the visitor Instantly he rose
in his place.
The president Of the Academy.
glancing across the room, also sprang
to his feet Then one member after
another recognized the impressive face
and figure OF the old man who was
quietly making his way toward the
seat reserved for him, and before he
had reached it the whole company we're
on their feet. The learned man who
was reading the paper was silent, and
officers, members and spectators re-
mained standing until the aged visitor
had taken his seat.
The guest was Alexander Humboldt,
then in his eighty-eigth year, infrm in
body, but vigorous in mind. The
Academy paid him unique tribute OF
silent reverence as the hoary leader Of
modern science. There was no ap-
plause when he entered the hall, and
neither clapping of hands nor shufllng
of feet when he took his seat. They
stood in their places as though a king
had come IN among them, and then
silently resumed their seats, and listen
ed to the reading of the scientific paper
The veteran was deeply touched by
this spontaneous demonstration Of
respect and veneratiOn from so famous
body OF thinkers-tne wisest men OF
bis country. Even the American pro-
fessor, who had never seen him before,
knew from the brightness OF his eyes
and from the fine glow of enthusiasm
upon his face that it was one of the
happiest moments of his life.
There was something almost ciassica,
in this reception of Humboldt by the
Academy. In the best days of Roman
history distinguished men in their old
age were hOnored with similar mani
festations of silent reverence.

Washington is the Mecca Of cranks.
says the Post Of that city, and the
Washington monument is their par
ticular shrine. Even the White House
is perhaps less attractive to them The
monument can be seen for miles around
of course, and seems to attract half
tracts moths. One man, some time
ago, would have it that the great white
shaft was built of human skulls and
bones, and persisted in pointing out
the faces OF friends in the different
stones. A still odder specimen is thus
described
When the watchman first noticed
him he was leaning against the shaft,
apparently pushing with all his might
Then he went round to the other side,
as if to see ii any one was there. When
these proceedings had been going on
for some time the watchman stepped
up and accosted him.
BEG pardon; you aren't going to
push it over, are you?"
II could if / wanted to-" answered
the man, with great dignity. "My
name is Samson"
''Ah, the strong man? Let me see,
you were down at Kernan's Theatre
few weeks ago, weren't you?"
"No, SIR" answered the man, who
was about five feet five, and apparently
not very muscular. II am the reincar-
mated Samson of Bible times, who
pulled down the pillars of the temple.
Why, it would be child's play to upset
this puny monument"
"Well, / wouldn't do it, ii I were
you,' said the watchman, mildly.
"You see this is in memory of Wash
ington Probably you don't remember
him, as he was little alter your time
but we moderns think a good deal Of
him. Then this monument cost
great deal of money, and many people
would consider it unkind of YOU to
destroy it. Take me, for instance. l
am hired to watch it, and of course you
would throw me out of job. Besides,
YOU might hurt somebody"
'.No, was careful to look on the
other side first. But perhaps you think
can't do it? Just look up and see
me shake it.
The watchman was agreeable. Now, it
is a fact that when one stands directly
at the base of the monument, it appears
to be topping over. This is, Of course,
an optical illusion, caused by the clouds
moving overhead ; but it impressed the
crazy man with his power.
"Did you see me shake it ?" he asked,
in triumph.

I wouldn't do it any more. You might
weaken the foundations, even it you
didn't push 1t over. Besides, here
comes a crowd of people, and not know
ing who you are, they might laugh at
you Then you would have to push it
over to prove it to them
"That's So" said the crank, and bid
ding the watchman "Good day." he
took his departure.
