A Mass Of Vegetation That Can scarosly

The vegetation of the Guianas II o
devouring mass of green. which stead.
i,y enc-oaches, and is kept down only
by the ceaseless warfare of one plant
upon another. A tree springs up, says
w. Nephew King in Century, and
finds its way to the top by it's energy. It
is no sooner established than parasite
begins to climb it's trunk and lace IL
self around the tree, until finally the
grip of the parasite kills the tree, and
both fall to ruin and decay, leaving q
space, which is Immediately occupied
by new forms.
To penetrate such a Jungle is impos-
sible without the use of a machete and
ak. To keep path open requires con-
slant outing. If you shoot q bird or
IN animal, it falls perhaps not more
than 300 feet away; but 1t may re-
quire a half hour or an hour to reach IL,
and unless you can shoot from a canoe,
and can drop the bird into the water,
as a 1ule you cannot find your game
after it IL killed. Words cannot de-
scribe the beauty Of this mass Of green,
vigorous vegetation, nor can one com.
prehend the difficulty of conquering
such 2 wilderness unless one has actual
ly grappled with It.

There appear to be whole races o.

whom we had met: "He must be q man

"Man sports (spielt) only when he isl

I need hardly observe how grossly
this faculty Of the ludicrous may be
abused. There is nothing more diabol-
ical-in the strictest sense of the word
than to turn into ridicule 'whatsoev-

But it is a maxim of Jurisprudence.

holds universally.

Costly Building Material.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports a Gu
rious occurrence. Early in May Mr..
Turpin, teller in the subtreasury at
Cincinnati, missed ten-dollar bill,
which had been left upon table. The
weather was warm, and the windows
were open. After searching the room,
Mr.. Turpin hunted over the garden and
lawn.
All was in vain; the bill was gone,
and after awhile was forgotten. Some
weeks later high wind blew down
birds nest near the house, and, as 1t
chanced. Mr.. Turpin picked it up and
looked at 1t curiously. His attention
was struck by piece of paper Of pc
culiar color. He drew it out and it
proved to be ten-dollar bill. the very
one, no doubt, that he had lost.
1t was in pretty bad condition, but
was redeemed at the treasury.
