A Curious Little Plant.

A young man who works at a desk
IN q Broadway office came from his
home in Railway, n. j., with a curl
Gus looking plant imbedded in some
moist moss and earth. When his as
sociates asked him what 1t was he
said: '.JuSt watch it."
They did. 1t was placed on his desk
near a window. In less than two hours
every petal was filled with a dead fly.
Then he explained to the clerk that
this plant was a f1y-eater. 1t killed
and absorbed the flies. MY sister be-
lOnged to botany class" he said, land
she dug this from q swamp near Perth
AmbOy. She loaned 1t to me to aston
ish you fellows. 1t is very rare"
A fellow clerk from Savannah took
q look at 1t and said: "When I come
back from luncheon I will show you
something. He brought in q small
bottle Of spirits Of camphor and put
one drop on each of the petals. In
stantly the flies were released and the
petals closed tight as a clam. "NOw,"
he said, "that plant will have a fit Of
indigestion for about three days and
then 1t will survive for about as many
weeks They are common enough in
the South."-New York World.

When the new club rooms OF the Tourist
Wheelmen were informally thrown open the
other evening, and the boys were comfortably
seated around the little tables some playing
cards. others telling yarns, a glance around
the room reminded one Of some of the good
old days OF yore few of the old members
were present, memories Of bygone days were
resurrected, and very enjoyable evening
was spent by those present. Picking up the
visitors register and turning back over a
few pages, we found recorded the names of
those who had mingled together with us
at smokers, high five tournaments and other
social gatherings in times past, when the
club quarters were at Twentieth and Cali
fornia streets. Suspended over one OF the
center tables was a very beautiful spread
which was readily recognized as one of the
old relics, and one which had been made by
Mrs NJ o. Daxon and presented to the bows
in those never-to-be-forgotten days On one
end the words, Tourist Wheelmen," had
been worked in the cloth, while the other
end bears fac-simile of safety bicycle,

Of smoking tobacco was resurrected from
some unknown nook or corner, which con-

the boys eagerly sought, and after having

Just a little pain may 30 distract a mans
