Specimens of this remarkable pro-
duction were looked upon as the
rarest treasures in the collections of
the curious in days gone by. Two
different specimens have been de-
scribed in the philosophical Trans
actions" and third has it's portrait
given in an engraving in Darwin's
Flower Garden" and its history
told in the forid verse of that work.
The lamb" is a natural produc-
ton, greatly helped in the develop
ment of the particulars in which it
most resembles that creature by
the ingenuity of the natives. The
body is a portion of the creeping
stem of species of fern which gen
orally grows as erect as tree. This
stem is densely covered with beau
tiful, jointed, silky hairs of rich
golden color.
On the surface next to the ground
few roots are given off, while the
leaves--or fronds, as they are called
in ferns-spring from the upper sur
face. The fronds reach a height of
IL or IA feet, and have long, bare
stalk before the leaf is spread out.
The Tartar takes a suitable part of
this creeping stem for a body, des
prives it of the roots and of all the
leaf stalks except four, which are
intended to be the legs, two short
ones for the ears and a stump for
the tail, and then, turning it upside
down, trims the stem, and SO pro-
duoes this marvel of the early ex-
plorers. The fern, known to bota-
nists as the Cibotium barometz, is a
native of eastern Asia. 1t has been
introduced into our Conservatives,
where it fiourishes, producing, after
few years growth, good speci-
mems of the lamb"

nese for checking the flow of blood

The more fibrous and elastic hairs
of several species of the same group,
natives of the Sandwich Islands, are
largely exported from these islands
to California and Australia for stuff
ing cushions and for similar pur-
poses. Philadelphia Times.

WEEKLIES FOR WEEKLY TOWNS.

The Carroll County Times has
changed back to a weekly
Every now and thep a weekly
paper, published in a weekly town
of 5000 inhabitants or less, at
tempts to make a daily or semi
weekly of itself, but sooner or
later it is compelled to go back to
its former style of publication.
Many towns will support a weekly
we'll, that cannot be pushed up
into supporting a daily, or even a
semi-weekly. Why? Because. it
pays merchants to advertise
weekly who could not stand the
expense of advertising oftener,
and when, even if they did stand
the expense, they could not hope
foH full returns. Merchants who
are dependent upon the country
for most of their trade, do not
need an advertisement oftener
than once weed, and the pony"
dailies are generally supported by
the patronage of their weekly edi-
tions.
Anotherthing-in these advanc-
ed days, with the large city dailies
reaching the remotest hamlets in
few hours, a country daily to
live has to be so poor that the
people have no pride i'll it,. and
sooner or later it dies.

THE TARTARlAN LAMB.
a Strange Plant That Closely Resembles
Little Lamb.

a Strange Plant That Closely Resembles
q Little Lamb.
Among the strange stories to be
found in the narratives of early
travellers few are stranger than
that of the vegetable lamb of Tar
tary. This story, as believed by the
reading public and even by the nat
uralists of two centuries ago, is so
marvellous and so obviously absurd
that we.wonder how the most cred
ulous could have believed it to be
true
The story is that, in an elevated
and cultivated salt plain of great
extent west of the river Volga,
there may be found a creature half
animal, half plant, to which the ma
tives give the name of barometz,
meaning slittle lamb" To obtain
it the Tartars SOW in the ground a
seed like that of a melon, from
which, in due time, rises the strange
plant, having the figure of a lamb,
with the feet, the hoofs, the ears
and the whole head, except the
horns, of that animal, distinctly
formed.
Itgrows on stalk about three feet
in height, being, according to one
version, rooted to the ground by its
four feet, while another account
raises he whole lamb, feet and all,
from rAe ground on single stem,
on which it is able to turn, and also
TO bow itself downward to the herbs
on which it feeds. 1t lives as long
as there is grass or heritage around
it, but when it has consumed all
within its reach it dies and withers
away. It's skin is covered with 6
very white down, as fine as silk
and is greatly priced by the Tartars
who pull it off and wear it as 6
cover for the head.
Inside it is composed of flesh and
bones, and when wounded it gives
out liquid resembling blood

CUNNING AFRiDlS.
Methoas Employed by the Crafty Savage
Tribesmen In Battle.


Tribesmen In Battle.
In any account of the ways the
Afridis fight it is necessary to in
olude in the description the military
characteristics of the frontier ma
tiyes without regard to differences
of tribe.
Their style Of fighting is specially
adapted to the geographical oondi-
tions of: the country. Both at Fort
Saraghari and at Fort Cavagnari
had an opportunity, with other Off
GERS, of learning the peculiar fight
ing ways of the Afridis. Every race,
of course, has it's own. method of
combat, and the Afridis conduct
their operations against an enemy
in manner altogether their own.
It is as shifty as it is effective. Few
civilians can realize how deadly it
may become
1t is bad enough when an enemy,
creeping slowly up hillside, lodges
itself in sections behind huge bowl
ders, and, under cover of these,
pours volley after volley at the hui
| man targets, as those engaged in
the task of guarding the summit be-
come. Watching the advancement
OF a foe is not at any time an inspir-
iting occupation 1t is worse to see
the half naked Afridis creeping
slowly and slowly from bowlder to
bowlder. This is what takes place
in broad daylight, but even then the
cunning Afridi can circumvent ma
ture. Take, as an illustration of
This, the way in which Fort Sara
ghari fell. 1t occurred in broad day
light and within sight of the neigh
boring fort of Cavagnari, where the
stealthy operations of the tribesmen
were observed by the imperial
troops. Attempts were made by
means of signals to warn the de-
tenders of the British flag of their
danger, but to no avail
Although considered impregna-
BILE, Fort Saraghari, built of square
stone with two bastions at opposite
angles, was fatally defective in de-
sign. 1t had dead" point under
meath each bastion-that is, point
from which en- enemy could be nei-
ther seen nor hit by the defenders
The result was that while the con-
tending forces were firing against
each other-the defenders in the
forts and the assailants behind stone
breastworks and within ten yards
of each other-a few native born
engineers" among the Afridis who
had crept up to the dead" point

bastions. Before this was made suf-

Other instances are cited indicating the

What demand there has been has mostly
ran TO three e.ghths and haif-washed

former being used In army goods. Do
