NATURES TODDY SHOPS.
Trees and Plants of the Tropics
Which Yield juices of Intox-
icating Properties.

Nature has her rum shops, her sa-
looms. She produces plants which de-
vote themselves TO the manufacture
and sale OF intoXicants. The South
American toddy tree is well known to
naturalists. 1t is well known also TO
the South American beetle, the Oryctes
Hercules. When the latter goes on
spree he never goes it alone, after the
unneighboTly habit Of the human
drunkard. lie collects his friends and
acquaintance to the number Of 30 or
40; the whole crowd run their short
horns through the bark of the toddy
tree, revel in the outfowing juices, and
while inebriated are easily caught by
the human natives.
The toddy tree parts with its liquor
free of charge. There are other plants
which are less generous. They exact
no less q penalty than the death Of the
unfortunate drunkard. And what do
they DO with the body? Strange as it
T1ay seem, they eat it. In this manner
they obtain the food which nourishes
them and suStains their healthful ex-
istence At the end Of each Of their
long green leaves these plants have
pitcher-shaped receptacle We might
style this the rrowler, but ii never
needs TO be rushed. II is always full
OF what with special appropriateness
might be called bug juice-a watery
liquor, sweet TO the taste and inebriat-
ing to the senses. Only In fine weather
is the growicr open for business. On
rainy days il is firmly shut mp to keep
out the rain that would dilute and spoil
the s-LiuuincOtt's.

MRS. PULLMAN
Decides That a Third of Her Late
Husbands Estate is Better Than
What His Will Offered.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Mrs. George Pull
man has renounced the terms of her hus-
bands will and chosen her dover right.
The share which, under the dover ar
rangement, will fall to her, is conceded
to be materially greater than under the
provisions of the will. She will secure a
one-third life interest in all the Pullman
realty and one-third of the personal prop
erty absolutely. By the latter alone it is
estimated that she will receive more than
So, eco, 600.
Under the will Mrs. Pullman was to
receive for life the annual income from ST.
$50, eco, and the possession of the Pullman
homestead on Prairie avenue. BY her re
nunciation she would legally lose all but
a one-third interest in this home, but it
is generally understood that the other
heirs will insist that there be no change
in tins particular. Under the will, the
two sons, George NJ. Pullman Jr., and
Walter Sanger Pullman, were to receive
for life a yearly income of $4,000 This
amount, it is thought, will be materially
augmented when Mrs. Pullman receives
her dover right. The real value Of the
estate is supposed to be beyond the esti-
mate of $1,000 geo originally made. If this
be true Mrs. Pullman's election of her
dover right would affect the requests spe-
officially made to the children and to pub
lie institutions.
