A Luminous Tree.

One of the most remarkable of trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about IL miles north of Tuscarora.
It is six or seven feet high, with a
trunk which at its base is three times
the size of an ordinary mans wrist
It has numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat the
barberry. Its truly wonderful char
acteristic is it's luminosity, which is
SO great shat on the darkest night it
can be plainly se'en mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by its light.
Its foliage is extremely rank, and
Its leaves resemble somewhat those
of the aromatic bay tree In shape,
size and color. The luminous prop
erty is due to a gummy substance,
which can be transferred to the hand
by rubbing and with the tranfer the
phosphorescent light, while that on
the leaf disappears. The luminosity
is thought to be due to a parasitic
form. The Indians regard it with
superstition and will not come near
it even in daytime. They give it q
name which means witch tree. ~

Man NIilliners Hired by the DIV.

1t Is not generally known, perhaps
that there are man milliners who
hire out by the day or week as trim
mers to New York modistes. 1t goes
without saying that these trimmes
arc artists. Their greatest value lies
In what they call original designing.
The frames or shapes in stock are
taken with whatever decorative ma
terial may be available, and unique
bonnets and hats arc evolved which
may serve as models or be used for
special orders. The men trimmers
command a salary of $50 week or
SO s day Of six hours They are
regularly employed by modistes
who, in connection with dress and
cloak making, do some millinery
work, but the largest class Of patron
age comes from the millinery shops.
The intruder is scorned by the wom-
en- in the workroom, who not only
make personal remarks, but depre-
cate everything he turns out.-New

Animal Worship.

Mr.. ]. McLennan, In his paper ON

mails, calls our attention to many
evidences that the early Romans, a.
well as the Greeks, worshiped to-
TENS The Old Testament records
show many indications Of animal
worship among the lsraelites, which
must have lasted for ages before the
prohibition inculcated In the second
line of hedecalogue was formulated.
At comparative late date Jehovah
was worshiped under the popular
symbol Of a bull, while the IL oxen
upholding the laver In solomonh
temple, as we'll as the horns adorn-
ing the altar, were drawn from the
prevalent bull worship" Modern
research has also proved that the
cherubim were represented in the
form Of winged bulls. M. Lenor-
mant, in his famous book on the
Beginnings Of History" says that,
during the time Of the kings and
prophets, ''lnost assuredly the cheru-

Explanation of Sword Trick,

A trick in which sword is appar-
emily passed through q persons alb
domen is explained as follows: The
sword employed is thin, fexi-
bic, dull blade. The prestidigitator,
whose body the sword will simply
pass around, but not pierce, carries
concealed beneath his vest sheath
that consists Of a hollow tube, semi
circular in shape, the two extremities
of which are bent in contrary direc-
tons in such a way that they are
situated in the same straight line, the
two orifices opening in front and be-
hind at right angles with the abdo-
men. This tube runs around the
farther side Of the man, who, appear
ing instinctively to grasp the point
of the sword as if to protect himself,
directs it into the metallic tube. The
flexible sword makes its exit between
the tails of the coat. It is necessary
to operate rapidly, so that the spec
tators shall not have time to SEQ that
the length Of the sword has dimfn-
sshed, the curved line that it follows
aot being the shortest passage from
one point to another.-Cincinnati En-
Quirer.

A singular Man,

The Hon. Henry Cavendish was a
mathematician, astronomer, geolo.
gist. alchemist, recluse and-eccen-
trio. Mr.. Cavendish was intensely
shy. He had quite diseased aver
sion to all and especially to female
society. The only way to get him to
speak was never to look at him.
Talk, as 1t were, into a vacancy, then
1t was not unlikely that he might be
get going. Nevertheless men were
a trouble to him and women an In
toterable nuisance We mention this
as an eccentricity, but there are
doubtless many men who share his
prejudice. He avoided communicac
ton with bis female housekeeper by
depositing notes on the hall table.
A female servant he would never
see. II an unlucky maid showed her
self she was instantly dismissed. In
his villa at Clapham he had a second
staircase built so that he might pre-
vent the almost inevitable encounters
with the hated sex. To Mr.. Caven-
dish's town house In Cover street
few visitors were admitted. The
favored ones who crossed it's thresh-
old reported that books and the neo-
essary apparatus for a science stu
dent were Its chief furniture.-Tem.

Waiting for dead mems shoes is an
old proverbial expression and in con-
nection with army officers and their
wives still has a remarkable signtf-
canoe. Said an officers wife few
evenings since; II do dislike to take
up an army register and scan theper-
sonals to see If any one outranking
the captain is i'll or to keep an eye
upon the old officers and figure out
when they will be retired. But I'm
not as bad as some others. Why,
they get life insurance tables and
study mortuary probabilities to see
when an officer may be promoted by
reason of death among officers out
ranking him. If some officers die as
they should according to rule, the
captain will be general before he is
60 years old. Isn't it mean business
to think about2 But we get paid
back, for when my husband is old
all the rank and file will be indulg-
ing In tho same kind Of speculation
and wondering why old General
Blank doesn't die. "--Cincinnat Trib-

Not What They Seemed.

A surprising discovery was made
by Food Inspector Mellor not long
ago. An honest Scovill avenue grocez
had become suspicious of prepara,
tions which had been sold to him as
being raspberry jolly and honey, and
he took samples of them to the IN
spector. The jelly was made from
corn starch and was colored with
cochineal and favored with raspberry
extract. The alleged honey was made
from glucose sirup favored with OK
alc acid. No flavor is necessary in
the production of honey. 1t is only
required that the glucose and oxalis
acid be mixed in the right proportion
and in a few weeks the result is
honey, at least 80 far as taste and ap
pearance go. The stuff had been
sold to the grocer as strained honey.

English View Of Our Cooks.

The American is an admirable cook
in theory; in practice indeed he
may fail. The rush of modern ideas
is too great for him. The sewing ma
chine, the reaper and the corn ele-
vator take up too much time. The
application of electricity and steam
to the arts of peace and the ever pres
ent cares brought on him by the
working of the finest constitution in
the world distract him from his boil
ing and his baking. He has indeed
the same interesting reason for neg
lecting his clam chowder and his
baked pork and beans, that most In
genious and admirable of all Amert
can kitchen products, that our King
Alfred had for letting his hostess
cakes burn-immersion in the poll.

Nevertheless the native born Amer
lean has invented greatly. Clam
chowder itself, as mere work OF
art, reflects as much credit on his
nation as vol au vent o fnanciere
brings honor to France.-Blach and

Some 60 odd years ago the cashier
of Liverpool merchant received in
tender for a business payment Bank
of England note which he held up to
the scrutiny of the light, SO as to
make sure Of its genuineness. He OBJ
served some partially indistinct red
marks or words traced out on the
front of the note beside the lettering
md on the margin. Curiosity tempt
cd him to try to decipher the words
so inscribed. With great difficulty,
30 family written were they and so
much obGterated, the words were
found to form the following sentence:
IF this note should fall into the
hands of John Dean of Longhill, near
Carlisle, he will learn hereby that his
brother is languishing a prisoner at
Algiers."
Mr.. Dean, on being shown the note,
lost no time in asking the govern
ment of the dey to make intercession
for his brothers freedom. It ap-
peared that for IL long years the lat
ter had been a slave to the dey of AL
giers, and that his family and relar
tives believed him to be dead. With
a piece of wood he had traced in his
own blood on the bank note the mes
sage which was to procure his re-
lease. The government aided the
efforts of his brother to set him free,
this being accomplished on payment
of ransom to the dey.-Now York

Gas Versus Theology.

One Of the oldest mistakes that
ever occurred, 1t Is safe to say, In
Chicago or anywhere else. happened
to South Side druggist, Mr.. ]. H
Hogey. His servant Bridget, was
washing the steps Of his house on
Vernon avenue. Along came an en-
ployee of the gas company, who
wished to enter the house to read the
gas meter. BE had thick book un-
der his arm, In which he is won't to
register the figures Of the various
meters which he examines. Unfor-
tunately he is an Englishman, with 9
pronounced cockney accent, and
Bridget is not overnight. This Is
what the inspector said as he took
his book from under his arm: Good
morning, madam. All would like to
read the gaas bill" This is what
Bridget said:
"I've to cuke the breakfast an have
no time now to listen to the gospel
"But it's me juty, my good WON.
an. l must read the gaas bill, and you
must let me. Allow me to enter"
"Divil sthep," said Bridget
"Come agin, when I've no worruk, an
III listen to yer gospel"
To omake a long story short, the man
couldn't make Bridget understand
him, and he didn't understand her
and reported to the company that he
was not allowed to look at the gas
meter, and the company took the
meter out Of the house before the
mistake was found.-Boston Tran
