blesome and painful, and most prospec- tors would rather run Into e charge of buckshot than into "crucltiXion thorn bush.
 During ten months of the year the limbs of the bush are absolutely bare except for it's thorns. These are from one to three inches in length, sharp as needles and fully as hard and strong, only they are thicker at the base and taper very gradually to the point of dis appearance, Early in the spring the
 palo christo" puts forth tiny green blossom, which soon ripens into clusters of small yellowlsh berries. These are the seed of the "crucifXion" plants, The most remarkable thing about these bushes is that they are supposed to take in their sustenance through the in tinitesimally fine, steel-lille ends of the thorns. And though thorns are very plentiful, yet the feeding and breathing points must be so very small that one can easily realize why the plant has such a barren and unhealthy appear ance. At its best, when water, sun shine and good soil are at the maxi mum and all the other trees and flow CTS in the valley are cure for Watery eyes to look upon, the crucifixion thorn seems to be poor, half-starved thing, San Francisco Call.

Among the natural products of west ern Australia t is estimated that the timber is the most valuable. It has been said that the marketable value of the now-matured timber in that part of the island-contlnent, after a liberal deduction of one-third for waste, would reach total of at least $700, 900 000. This amount would cover the present public indebtedness, as we'll as the sum of 35,O0O000 about to be raised by the colony for public purposes, more than eleven times, The timber, in most cases, is located in the southwestern part of the island and close to the ports of shipment. The two trees most in demand are the karri and the jarrah, the former being the giant tree of Aus tralia. An average tree may be reck- oned at 200 feet in height and four feet in diameter at three feet from the ground, while the first branch does not appear at less than 120 feet from the ground. Trees of this size are generally sound in every respect, free from knots, gum veins, etc. The wonderful giant has been known to reach 300 feet in height. Karri is harder and more ser yiceable than the jarrah, although the latter is particularly fitted for the con- struction of jetties and wharves, as it resists the ravages of the sea-worm. The karri is excellent for railroad sleepers, the upper parts of bridges ways, as it is strong to resist crushing power, does not become water-soaked and does not rot when under ground.

AN OBSERVATION.

When a New Havener takes his walks abroad in these days he sees in several places men hard at work spoil ing streets that appear to have been especially constructed to defy the pick and make things lively for the steel blow drawn by the resistless road roll CT. They spoil hard, and they spoil so hard that the observer finds himself asking himself if there is any real need of spelling such we'll made and durable streets. He finally concludes that there is It becomes plain to him that "the march of progress" demands that somebody shall have job even if job
 bery Is involved in giving a job to somebody. Then he wonders how long the fine new pavements will be able to resist "the march of progress" and he concludes that they may last until there is another urgent demand for a job Then he looks at one of the new pavements and he isn't certain about that. Then he concludes that he doesn't know much anyway and that it wouldn't do him any good if he did.

the arms of the waiting lover, Not 0 word was spoken. He, supposing his companion was the daughter, helped her into a buggy, climbed in after her and drove away as rapidly as possible. Mrs, Berry simulated the state of trembling agitation which would be natural under the circumstances, and the few words that she spoke were in faint, shalIy whispers. A justice of the peace was quickly found and the two were made one. When MT. Whitely found out what had been done he kick ed at first, but his new wife talked to him so mellifluously and smiled on him so brightly that he soon became more than reconciled. Matilda tossed her proud head and said she was glad she didn't succeed in marrying MT. White ly, for she didn't think she loved him well enough. So all Is serene, and the new Mrs. Whitely occupies undisputed the place which her talents entitle her to. She has shown that if woman really wants to marry man he cannot escape her. And her way of showing 1t will form a powerful argument for those who say that Woman can do business.

4 SM ART WOMAN.

It was known that the widow Berry of Kentucky was smart because she had married MT. Berry and survived him. But just how smart she was and is was not known until the other day, when she did feat that raised the general opinion of her smartness to the thirty-third degree and established her fame. When Mir. Berry became an an- gel he left two angels behind him Mrs Berry and Daughter Matilda
 Matilda Berry has grown to be eighteen years old and is not only Berry. but a peach. MT. Whitely, a widower with money and only thirty years, made up his mind that he would like to be com forted by Matilda. He told her so and she believed him. She also believed that she would like to comfort him. The widow Berry didn't like the idea, but she didn't make much progress in cooling either her daughter or MT. Whitely. All she succeeded in doing was to cause them to make up their minds to elope and be married in a dark night She found out what was up, and then she showed how capable she was of conquering fate. On the dark night which had been appointed by the eager lovers she slipped into Matilda's bedroom, bound the girl hand and foot placed a gag in her mouth, dragged her to a room in the rear part of the house, and tied her to heavy article of furniture. While the maid was thus rendered helpless to move or cry out the widow took up a position in a front room and waited. Soon there came a tap on the window, whereupon she bundled herself up in a multitude of wraps, climbed out, descended a lad der and launched her plump form into

CRUCIFIXIoN THORN.

Strange Plant That Grows in the Des-
 ert and Has No Leaves.
 Arizona has a strange desert plant that possesses that which is of keen in terest for every man, woman and child who has ever heard the story of the crucifiXion. The plant lives, breathes, gains its sustenance from the sun and air without the aid of leaves. There is a halo of pious and historical interest about the plant, because it's branches are the same as those with which the Jesus of Nazareth was crowned on the heights of Calvary It is known as the "crucif1xion thorn,' or, in Latin, the 'crucifera spinosa." It grows but in two places on the earth-on the mesas of Salt River valley and in certain parts of Palestine. The botanists know but very little about it, aside from the fact that it is supposed to be member of the quassis family by some, while others declare that it will ye tbe classed with the acacia group
 Professor Bessey, who occupies the chair of botany at the Nebraska univer- sity, is making an exhaustive study of the rare plant and several choice plants have just been shipped to him from Phoenix. These were obtained from large bushes which grow at long inter- vals on the mesa to a height of from twelve to eighteen feet. The MeXicans know it as the "Palo Christo" and the Catholic churches in southern Arizona are always decorated with thorny branches at Eastertime. Professor Bessey has made cross sections out of previous specimens sent him from Phoenix and his own language is that these sections disclose a very rare and wonderful plant of which the botanical world knows but very little'
 The bushes, as seen on the desert not far from Phoenix, have a most forbid ding appearance. Only their remarka- ble oddity attracts ones attention. All of the plants of the desert have some- thing to attract one to them and offer a certain picturesqueness and beauty either of form or color, to the eye~-sll Of them except this bush of wicked looking thorns The bushes are all thorns and nothing but thorns. and their wound is cruel and lasting, for there is said to be a poison lurking in the top of them. The poison is not deadly, nor even dangerous, but trou-

Another type of morning dress makes the artists contribution here. It was in bilge canvas trimmed with brown woolen braid. It's bodice combined a jacket and blouse prettily, opening over a vest of cream lace and having a short ripple basque. Though the stuff is full in the waist, it was not enough so to mar the figure and the back remained plain. Body, revers, col lar, basque and sleeves were all trim med with braid, and the girdle belt was beige satin.
 Bath robes are a desirable feature of a wardrobe. You may get along with out one in the winter if you live close to your bath and in house heated as most modern houses are. But in the summer time when the mornings are chill and the nights often cold by the shore or among the mountains, you need a bath robe. Those made of cider flannel are more comfortable and gen. erally useful than are the more pie turesque towelling ones. A robe should be made very generous in size, have long sleeves, large arm holes, and double well over the front, being held snug by a very wide belt. A hood is a welcome addition to such garment. For seaside use Turkish towelling robe is more suitable and the hood is then quite an essential part of It. You may look very nice and sweet when you trip down to the surf, and then you may carry the robe over your arm, but you'd better get yourself into its folds as soon as you can when you emerge all dripping. Why? Because you would catch cold; or anyway, you wouldn't be a bit attractive.

F1iSHION NOTES.
Before Noon in Summer.

Pretty morning dresses for outing time are made from ginghams and muslins, planned simply and usually rather short as the wearer is sup posed to be at household duties, tend ing her flowers, or tripping to the vil- lage for the mail. Spelled invariably with an 'f.'D. Her shoes and stockings match and are either white or tan, and her petticoat is starched, rather short, and entirely plain except for a deep tucked ruff1e. The hat for such a simple rig is a shade affair, but not elaborate, the general effect as girlish as the age of the wearer allows. This same gown is suitable for the lunch table, at any but exclusive resorts.

1 PLAUSIBLE THEORY.

There is something that looks very much like a boom in the stock market, and the prices of good stocks look high when compared with the prices of last year. There is also undoubtedly an im- provement in business, and more is in sight. But it will be wise for all con- cerned not to expect too much. The Dry Goods Economist is perhaps not far wrong when it advises its readers that it is mistake to suppose that big profits will ever again be made in business in this country such as were common fifteen or twenty years ago, when foreign capital was flowing in with full confidence in our future and our industries were less burdened with taxes-federal, State and municipal The conditions are changed in many ways, apart from the distrust caused by the silver agitation. We must here after look more carefully after our af- fairs. "A new era," says the Econo- mist, "has opened in this country-an era of greater care, greater economy, stronger competition; an era in which old machinery and easy-going methods have no place; an era unfavorable to 'plunging,' except as the result of the most methodical planning and prepa- ration; an era demanding economy in personal and business expenditures.

An important point in relation to the now in vogue or proposed, Is to be noted in the action recently taken by the Philadelphia Fire Underwriters asso- citation, the mechanical and chemical bearings of which are of decided inter est. Briefly, the association agrees to grant permission for the use of acety- lene gas in liauefied form under press ure for lighting purposes, under the following conditions, namely: That the pressure of gas on the piping in the building shall at no time exceed one quarter pound per square inch; that the cylinder containing the liquefied gas under pressure and all pressure reduc- ing and safety devices be located out side of such building and in separate building we'll ventilated to the outer air. but of sufficient strength to pro- tect the apparatus from outside inter ference and from the weather, espe- cially the suns rays; also that the sup ply pipe for the building be provided with a hand valve just inside of the building assured, so that the gas may be shut off entirely from such building It is further required that the cylinder containing the liquefied gas under pressure be equipped with a safety valve to protect against both excessive pressure and unusual increase of tenn perature; also that both the pressure reducing and the safety or mercury valves have vent pipes opening into the outer air, and no acetylene gas or call cium carbide to be stored on the prem ises.

While some papers in the South are not hostile to the employment of ne- groes in the cotton mills, others are predicting the failure of the experi- ment A type of these hostile papers is the State of Columbia, South Carolina
 It refuses to accept as conclusive the explanation that negroes were taken into the Charleston mill because of the inability to obtain white operatives. There is the same difficulty at Colum- bia and elsewhere in South Carolina, the State says, in obtaining sufficien- cy of local help for the cotton mills, and yet there is an abundance of white workers brought from other points
 Owners of the Charleston mills might have done the same, it says, but in stead they have entered upon an inno- walton which the State hopes will prove disastrous. It professes "a very kindly feeling toward the colored people," but 1t does not wish to see them advance .'at the expense of the whites" It be- lieves that the manufacturing industry "should be held in trust for the white toilers of the fields, offering them an alternative of employment"
