Curious Plant Which Is Often Found
Growing on the Top of Another Tree.
The cupy, or, as it Is sarcasticaily called
in the English possessions, 'the attor-
ney," is one of the most curious as it GER
tainly is the most picturesque denizen of
the virgin forests of the West Indian
Islands. 1t belongs TO the parasitical
family of trees or plants, but, terrible to
relate, it invariably with the basest in
gratitude destroys all life in the unfor-
tunate tree that cherishes it in its early
growth. The seeds are borne on the wings
of the wind and deposited on the branches
of other trees, when they burst into roots,
which are dropped toward the ground all
round the nurse" tree. In time these
roots reach the ground and strike into the
soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger, until they resem bic
lot of rope ladders thrown over the
tree. Next the parasite sends down a
great cord, which twines round the trunk
of the supporting tree, at first as though
in loving EN- mbrace, but it grows tighter
and tighter, eventually strangling its ben
efactor out of existence. The nurse tree,
thus killed, rots TO decay, and from the
immense fibrous roots OF the DESTROYER
now springs a great trunk, which rises
high into the air. When the cupy il full
grown il presents magnificent spectacle,
for the cord-like roots rise often to fifty or
sixty feet, and support in midair the vast
tree eitsslf.-London lid Bits.

Messrs. Garbish & O'Neil, levee
contractors, have puta very strong
and substantial roadway at the
base of the levee, in the shape of
a banquet from the lower part of
Reeves place to the Lee place just
below st. Joseph.
This roadway was very much
needed, as it was almost impossi-
bic to pass from ST.. Joseph to
Beillers Landing in the winter be-
fore this banquet was made, 1t is
to be hoped that a banquet to serve
for the purpose of a roadway, will
be eventually constructed from
one end of the line of leyees in this
parish to the other.
The result of having such a road
ds the base to'the levee would be
that there would be no riding or
driving on them for the reason
that the road would be more invit-
ing, and for the reason that to ride
or drive on them is violation of
the law and exposes the offender to
punishment.

and collect special taxes for the
