4 Peep at Trinidad

Even the huts along the road are
transtigurcd and glorificd by the wealth
Of foliage that softens and enriches all
it touches. Hodges of crotons, six
feet high, with leaves Of gold aud
orange and mottIel green or of hibis-
Gus, red and white, whose flowers
would measure four and five inches
across the centre, grow in front Of
cabins that, IN themselves, would be
blot on the plainest landscape ever
eye beheld. But behind such hedge
and covered with some brilliant vine,
one forgets the sha bbiness of the
meanest novel, since nature has con-
ccaled it with such a gracious hand.
And what background Orange
trees, lines, cashews, tamarinds, cacao
trees, pawpaws, bread fruit, margoes,
calabash and others whose names l
know not, brilliant with fruit OF every
shade and color, from green to red
and gorgeous yellow, vie with each
other in claiming precedence for them
selves IN the marvellous display which
meets the eye. In the little patches
of garden, the long, splendid leaves
Of the plantain and banana almost hide
the flowers Of every hue that form SO
strong contrast to the ever-present
green; while, amid hundred un-
known perfumes, one may detect that
of the odorous Cape jasmine hanging
| heavy in the air. The eye becomes
! bewldercd amidst such luxurious
abundance, and can only take in a
fraction of what it sees. s.-Outing.

Dogs Always Mans Friends.

1T Is not SO many years., said the
professor, 'since the idea WAS cener-
ally prevalent that our dogs are sim.
ply domesticated wolves. We how
know that thls is wrong. AS he is
today the dog is most thoroughly the
creature OF man. Originally, of
course, be was wild animal, but al
ways distinctly dog. He is COM
paratlvely Y recent in his appearance,
bnt Is well defined even in his earliest
state. Fossil remains of him have
been found In France and Belgium,
and the geologists of the United States
Geological survey i'll the West have
found remains Of eighteen species,
ranging in size from one SO small that
1t could curl up in ones haud to an
~other as large as bear.
''The belief that dog howls
around q house just before the death
OF an inmate is one of the remains OF
the old star worship Of primeval
times. Then it was said the souls Of
men travelled along the Milky Way
toward the home of the blest under
the guidance OF a big dog. And all
dogs watched for the departure of the
soul
"Tne spectral dog is heard Of every
where and under great variety OF
forms. He is wild and shaggy, and
at times one can hear him rushing
through the air uttering unearthly
howls, particularly when the wind is
high. But wherever you find the dog,
he Is always more the companion thar
| the servant of man. He lives with
| the family, and the hcarthstone is his
throne; for it he fights fearlesly. -

Fifteen Wonderful Cabinets.

Ia the wilds Of Wisconsin, in the
little village of Martintown, Green
county, lives one of the most indus
trious men of the century. Hc is
Peter Haase, 4 cabinet maker. Ten
years ago he conceived the idea and
perfected plans in detail Of tho most
ingenious and elaborate combination
bookcase and cabinet in the world.
Having saved enough money TO sup.
port him the remainder of his life, he
| began the construction OF not only
one Of these cabinets, bat of fifteen,
| finishing n certain part OF each at the
same time before advancing further.
! The ca bincts are inlaid with all of
the native woods, the boards having
been in his shop seasoning for over
Is years When completed the Is
cabinets will contain four million
pieces of wood. Some idea OF tho
time required for the completion Of
this undertak ing may be had by know!
| ing that it would take q man, working
eight hours day one year to simply
sort and count million such pieces,
many of which will have TO be handled
| 20 times by Mr.. Haase before being
permanently adjusted. The top OF
| each cabinet Is TO contain 1900
pieces, and each of the posts 1000.
The aged workman figures that it will
take him six years more to finish bis
work, and the fifteen pieces Of furni-
ture will be completed at the same
time
Mr.. Haase is eeventy-one years OF
age, but Is hale. hearty and full OF
| hope aud determination to complete
| this wonderful work to which he ap.
| plies himself enthusiastically every
workdav. His patience and persever.
| ance are remarkable He counts Oh
each cabinet being worth 5000
s75, 900 for the lot--uhen completed.
and believes that investing his time in
| making them will prove more profit
! able than spending mis- money on life

Hygienic Value of Perfumes.

DR.. Andres of Philadelphia few
years ago made the discovery that the
ozone in the atmosphere, which is the
great purifier, was mainly supplied
from blooming flowers, and for this
reason blooming plants were healthful
in dwelling houses, as we'll as attract
tive. Some interesting experiments
with the odors of flowers have been
made in the old world, and it is found
that many species Of microbes are
easily destroyed by various odors.
The odor of cloves has been known to
destroy these minute creatures IN
thirtytive minutes; cinnamon will kill
some species IN twelve minutes /; thyme
in thirty-fve. In forty-tivc minutes
common wild vcrbena Is found effect
i've. while the odor Of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms OF
microbes in fifty minutes. The es-
sence Ot cluualiloH IS Said 10 uestIoy
the typhoid-fever lnicrobe in twelve
minutes, and IS recorded as the most
effective Of all odors IS An antlscptic.
1t Is now believed that flowers which
are found IN Egyptian mummies were
placed there more for their antiseptic
properties than as mere ornaments or
clements in sentimental work. Hos

Flowers Used as Food.

Although 1t is we'll known that man y
kinds Of flowers are used III medicine.
the fact may not be known to many
that blossoms OF certain plaute are en-
ployed AS food. In many parts Of
India the flowers Of a saponaceous
tree, bassia latifolia, or mahwah, form
really important articles of food. In
These blossoms, which are succulent
and very numerous, fall ut night in
large quantities from the tree, AMI are
gathered early i'll the morning and
eaten raw. They have sweet but
sickly taste and odor. They are like
wise dried III the sun and sold al
bazaars.
The Bheels dry them and store them
as staple article of food, aud SO I'M
portant are they considered for this
purpose that when. in expeditions fol
punishment or subsection of these
tribes, when unruly, a threat is made
Ivy the invading force TO cut down
their bassia trees, the menance most
commonly insures their submission.
An ardent spirit is distilled from these
flowers both raw and cooked, and
often with the addition Of grain, and
also make sweetmeats OF them. 4 sin
