CENTURY Plant IN BLOOM.
Shoot of Mexican Plant Growing
Three Inches q Day.

New York, June SIN the green
house of J. Condor on Fort Hamilton
parkway, near Greenwood cemetery.
there is a plant which is growing at
the rate of about three inches a day.
1t is century plant, and before the
summer is over it win burst into bloom
for the first and last time in its exist
ence, and soon afterward die, for 1T is
a female plant. The blooming of a cen
fury plant in this climate is rare, and
when, in 1892, one of Mr.. Condon's spe-
cimens put forth flowers people went
from all over this part of the country
to see it.
This particular plant is one of a num-
Der in Mr.. Condon's greenhouses. The
owner does not know how long ago it
was sent here from Mexico, but it was
a number of years ago
If all goes well the stem will reach q,
height apprOximating thirty feet, and
from the upper ten feet will sprout
branches which bear the flowers,
corn cOlored bloom hanging in sprays
in the manner of the familiar begOnia
rubra These blossoms will last per
haps two months. They will then fall,
and wherever they land in the fertile
ground tiny centenarians will spring
forth from the earth.

CATSUP ON BUCKWHEATs.
Rule Forbidding the Combination at a
Denver Hospital Causes q Strike

Denver, June 8.-A strike amone. the
hred help at St. Luke's hospital is
among the startling occurrences. proDh-
es1ed for the near future.
Yesterday at dinner time the follow
ing order stared the mess in the face
as II sat down with its collective appe-
ute earned by sturdy strokes of hon
est labor:
But one cup of tea or coffee or one
glass of milk shall be taken by each
member at each meal, and but one Of
the three commodities shall be or
dered."
To the head porter, who always
drinks two and one-half cups of cof-
Zee at meal-nO more, no less-this
was rank injustice, while the three ward
girls at once avowed they couldn't do
the work they We're required to do on
END OF woe. One of the aides had been
caught flooding his buckwheat cakes
with catsup, and presumably for his
benefit was posted the rule:
mo catsup shall be used except on
cold meat
The meal was choked down in silence
and as the yard man went out to wash
down his victuals with cold water from
the garden hose, and one of the porters
suddenly remembered where a certain
bot was stored the women got to-
gether and declared that they would
not play in DR.. Jeffery's yard any more,
and accordingly called an indignation
meeting.
A delegation waited upon Miss Salms
the housekeeper, and then tackled DR..
Rogers. Assurance was given that the
supply of wetness should again be
turned on, but when supper was an
nounced it was noticed that the rule
of the superintendent still held good,
and although there was cold meat the
supply of catsup was very limited.

q.
Boston, June S-The story in a New

interesting as Illustrating the way error

The fact is that several years ago Mr..

The story was never intended for publ

1t has been published several times since.
and the changes have been rung upon it
until there is little left of the story in its

Presently the boy saw an opportunity

and arraigned before Justice Schatz.
He readily admitted taking the oranges
which might have been worth ; cents.
He told the justice how much he
wanted them. He couldn't resist the
temptation of taking them. He didn't
think the fruit dealer would miss them.
And the justice, being a kindly man,
listened to the boy and then sent him

ALEXANDRIA LIBRARY.-The Alex
andria correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun writes:
Another proposal is msdo now for the re
opening of the Alexandria library. Eight
ladies have agreed among themselves to take
one days turn each in officiating as librarian,
and in this way to diminish the cost of carry.
ing on the institution. The library company
was established lust century ago, and was
chartered on the 18th of January, 1893 it
annual meeting day being fixed for the third
Monday in February. The library was
located in turn ut the Market building, the
Ly, cum Hall. the rooms of the Columbian as
seciation, at Germans building, at Nealc's
Building and finally at the Peabody School
building. where the residue of the books still
remain in cases in one Of the school rooms
No effort has been sufficient during many
years past to keep the library open. All its
books are now antquated, and a new supply
would be needed to mako it effective as q
modern institution. The new movement Is
AS yet only preliminary one. 1t is headed
10y Miss Corso and supported By a number OF
ladies whose influence may DO able to mako
ii success.
