"The supposition that the sunaower
would absorb malaria hos long since
passed away" explained a health
Office physician to Star reporter,
Though there is no doubt that there
was some good connected with it. At
one time. many years ago, there was
au idea prevalent that there was con-
siderable malaria about the old naval
observatory. Some of the professors
were told that in South America and
other countries where malaria was
supposed to abound, that the sun
flower was regarded rs preventive,
and they ordered quantity Of the
seed. The flowers. as many of our
older residents will remember, were
grown about the observatory in great
profusion for their hygienic ad-
vantages. There was no harm done
by the growth Of this flower, for it
crowded out certain plants and weeds
which were by no means as beautiful
or as valuable in any respect. The
naval observatory is therefore the
original home of the sunhower in this
country, and it is entitled to the credit
of bringing it here. Whether itabsorbs
malaria or not, it is certain that il
beauties waste places. The flowers
which grow along the banks of Rock
Creek, within sight of the cable-car
bridge, were originally planted there
over twenty years ago, and they have
been coming up regularly since. y

Remarkable Juggling Feat.

There is always an abundant supply
of stories of the expertness of Hindoo
jugglers and acrobats, says the Boston
Transcript. One who moves about
perched upon single long stick is the
latest novelty. This performer is
mounted on a bamboo pole about fifteen
feet high, the top of which is tied to a
girdle worn around his waist. A small
cushion is fastened few feet down the
pole, which acts as a leg rest. The
acrobat hops around large space in
the liveliest way, uttering cheerful
shouts, and accompanied by the tap
ping of curious drum. He also exc
cutes sort of dance, and goes through
little pantomime. 1t is marvellous
feat of equilibrium. To walk on pair
of stills as high as this would be a per-
formance worthy of exhibition on our
variety stage. But to hop around on
one is quite another thing.
The same man can do many other
wonderful things. He appears abso-
lutely perfect in the art of balancing.
He can balance a very light stick on
his nose ana O heavy one on MS chlh,
and then throw the heavy one into the
air with his head and catch it ON the
end of the light. When balancing
these two sticks, end ON end, he will
make one revolve in one direction and
the other in the other. He puts one
hand on fiat circular stone, throws
his feet up into the air, and balances a
stick OH each of them. At the same
time he revolves rapidly on the pivot
formed by his arm and the stone.

The many accidents that have over.
taken mountain climbers in the Alps
have never had an effect permanently
detrimental to mountain climbing as o
sport, and probably the serious acci-
dents--in one case fata.-that have
this year befallen the climbers of Mount
Rainier will not discourage the Maza-
mas, though it may induce the exer-
else of greater precaution. The Maza-
mas constitute q society, made up
chiefly of dwellers ON the Pacific coast,
whose special pleasure 1t is to scale
and explore the great mountains of
the Northwest. The society was Or
ganized in July, 1894, ON the summit
OF Mount Hood, by 1872 persons, who
climbed II, ,225 feet to attend its first
meeting. The next year parties of
Mazamas assembled Mounts Hood,
Baker, Adams, Rainier, and Jefferson.
Last year the club made an excursion
to Crater Lake, in Oregon, and this
year its attentions have been largely
concentrated on Mount Rainier. On
Tuesday, July ~, Professor Edgar
Mcclure, an experienced mountaineer
and leader of the Mazamas, lost his
life by fall. The next evening two
other climbers fell into crevasse.
One made his own way out; the other
was rescued with difficulty. An idea
of the quality of the sport that Mount
Rainer affords this year is to be gath
cred from the information that the face
of the mountain, for mile down from
its summit, is continuous sheet of
ice, in which steps have to be cut by
climbers. The mountain is IA, 450
feet high, and 10, 900 feet Of its eleva-
tion is covered with perpetual snow.

Natures Remarkable Device.

The most remarkable of all devices
is that for splicing broken bones. The
moment bone is broken, a surgical
genius is at once despatched from the
brain to the spot. He proceeds to sur
round the broken ends with ferrule
of cartilage. This is large and strong,
and takes quite month to complete.
When the two ends are held firmly and
immovably in place by the ferrule, this
mysterious surgeon begins to place q
layer of bone between them and solder
them together.
And when the layer is complete and
the bone securely welded, he removes
the feritle'or callus, just as the scat
folding is removed from a finished
building. Often bone does not ge'
broken for two or three generations
and yet this power to form the callus
and knowledge of how to do it, il
never lost.-London Answers.

Simplicity Brings Life's Best Pleasures.

''For poor and rich alike the highest
pleasure and utility in life will come
from simplifying it" writes "Droch"
of ''Vacation Meanderings" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. "The content
ment that can only be had from nerves
that are not overstrained is to be
found by reducing your daily life to
the simplest terms. This applies with
equal force to the hard-working man
or woman with small income, or to the
rich who are numbered with many
cares. Poverty has been made just
as complex as riches by the many
things that ill-advised teachers have
taught poverty to expect that it ought
to accomplish. What both must learn,
for the best results in their own lives,
is not how little can be had for a great
deal Of money, but how much of real
and permanent value can be secured
for little money. That is the high
est economy and it cannot be taught
it must be learned by experience, and
you cannot begin it at q better time
than when seeking a vacation"
