SEA ANEMONES.
Something About These Strange and Beau
tifuI Plant Animals.


Anemones are beautiful animals that
abound on the shores of the sea. They are
polyps of soft, gelatinous texture and
have "a great many tentacles arranged IN
circles and extending like rays around the
mouth. The baby anemones have only
one row of tentacles, but they increase
gradually outside
Each tcntaclc is provided with num-
Der of coiled threads, called "lasso cells,
which when thrown out entangle ana
poison the prey upon which the anemones
feed. When food is taken, they at once
fold up their tentacles and appear to be III
dreamland After thus mapping they
slowly expand by filling with water, and
when fully expanded they resemble bril-
lantly hued polypctalous flowers. Indeed
the ancients thought them flowers, ana
accordingly gave them the name roses
of the sea.
Usually the anemoncs are attached 10
rocks, stones or shells, but they have so!'r
power of locomotion, being able to mo q
themselves slowly by u successive contri'
ton and loosening Of the base, il,uS
stretching forward one side and graduiliy
drawing the other along. hey are very
yoracious animals, yet they are 50 conStl
tuted that it is possible for them to NV,
for months without food.
Anemones have but little Intelligence.
Apparently they arc not even conscious Oh
prey until il comes in contact with thcli
extremely sensitive tentacles. 1t IL SIN
gular fact that they are reproduced in foul
| WAYS: First, from eggs, which are forhe'
and developed on the parent anelnohe
when developed, the eggs drop INTO TIT
water and produce young anemohes
They also increase by budding like shrubs
| oftentimcs several buds grow upon on
parent and drop off when perfect III form
| Self division is another way by whicl
I these strange animals may be increased II
number; when cut into sections win
| knife, each section produces pcriec
| anemonC.
The fourth method of reproduction ]
perhaps the strangest In tearing ava
from the rocks or shells to which the
have been clinging the parent anemont
often leave small pieces OF themselves
which, in u short time, assume lie an
form, become perfect anemones, ana NOV
off leisurely in search of new abidln
places. -Phiadclphia Times.

EVOLUTION.

The dull brute reveled in primeval slime.
Then to a naked soul the Lord said, go,
Dwell yonder in that groveling flesh till time
O'er the sloped forehead make loves white
ness low."
SO to the beast went down the unclothed soul,
Abode in twilight, walowed in the mire,
Writhed in the serpent, burrowed with the
mole,
Till the dim cons walked it to aspire.
Then up through tortuous shapes it rudely
grow,
Saw the long night expand into the day,
Found its own self and round il slowly drew
A human vostment from the sullen clay.
And still il grows past what the eye can see.
Climbs aus,ere peaks Of hope 10 breathe
heavens air
Above the refuse of mortality,
Nor frets TO know what form ii yet shall
wear.

Duckinx the scold In Old Times.

A Disguised Enemy.

Chronic catarrh often makes its ap.
proach in disguise. Before a person
knows it, he may become a victim Of
chronic catarrh. It's onset may be
gradual, its development insidious, and
at last the victim finds himself in the
clutches of a tenacious disease. A
slight cold. a tendency to sneeze, q
puffiness in the nose and head, fullness
or cracking in the ears, stringy mucus
in the throat, slight cough or wheezi-
ness, snoring during sleep, any one Of
these symptoms should be regarded as a
warning. What can be cured in the be-
ginning in week or two, by using
Pe-ru-na, if allowed to become chronic,
may require months of faithful treat
ment. You had better take Pe-ru-na
now, for by and by you may be obliged
to take it a long time in order to get
well, Pe.ru-na is the remedy for
catarrh. Almost everybody knows that
by hearsay and thousands know it by
blessed experience.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, of Columbus, Ohio, are
sending DIR. Hartman's latest book on
chronic catarrh and climatic diseases of
winter free of charge pages instruc-

Andrew Johnson's old tailor shop and,
if successful, will bring both. He will
bear all the expense himself and only
asks location. Old times in Tennes-
see will be shown in the larger build
ing. Mountain girls dressed in native
costume will manufacture cloth in all
it's stages from the flax wheel to the
loom. A wildcat still, showing how
moonshine whisky is made, will be had
if the proper arrangements can be
made. The buildings, so far as the
outside is concerned, can be seen free,
but an admission will be charged.
Immediately upon the granting of 6

will be taken up again. Knoxville

Kings Mountain Day October Z.

The management of the Centennial
Exposition, has at the request of the
Tennessee Historical Society and the
Tennessee Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, set aside Octo-
Der 7 as "King's Mountain Day. All
patriotic societies in the state are in
vited to take part in the celebration
of this day. The National Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution,
through Gen. Horace Potter, its presi-
dent, has been invited to attend in a
body, or, if not possible to do SO, to
send representatives. The centennial
management has seconded the invita-
tion by special letter to Gen. Potter.
The Tennessee Daughters of the
Revolution and their national organiza-
tion have also been invited. Mrs.
Mildred s. Mathes, of Memphis, in
behalf of the state society, has accepted
the invitation, and, Judging from pres
ent indications, the assembly in Nash
vile upon that date will be memorably
large and interesting one. The news
papers throughout the state are espe-
cially requested to take up the work of
promotion, SO that all organizations
embraced in the invitation may take
due notice thereof.
Any ladies who are eligible for mem
bership among the Daughters of the
Revolution and who may desire to en-
roll themselves or to take part in the
ceremonies are requested to communi-
cate with Mrs. Nathaniel Baxter, Jr.,

Lines Addressed to a Corpse.

Silent and mysterious being,
What see'st thou?
What realm of darkness
Or sphere of light eternal
Dost thou inhabit?
Thy soul, from mortal travail loosed
Hast wandered out into the vast abyss
of space,
And solved the problem of eternal life.
Is immortality thy lot?
Does that eternal hope that glids the
lives of men
Find confirmation in thy changed
estate?
Or is the sleep that touches thee,
And givesa spinx-like aspect to thy face,
Filled with unbroken slumber and @
dreamless rest?
Canst answer? If not, why?
Embalmed in impenetrable silence thou
lay'st,
Thy eyes half closed
And wrapped in mysterious reticence
Unfold thy lips, if canst,
And speak the language of the dead.
That we may know what lies beyond.
Unlock the secrets of the charnel house
And breath the words OF hope and life
That serve as light and beacon to the
steps of men,
And guides the world in its mad race
Toward the source and inspiration O.
its birth.
We ask in vain. Wearied with life,
Thou will not waken from the slumber
GUS rest,
Thy smiling lips mock at our quest.
Defed by death, we turn to life
And quaff its beaker to the brim,

"This worlds very pleasant, o, my God
We thank Thee that we live
