Tree That shocks.

A German authority on forestry an

forests of India, Of tree with the most
curious and inexplicable Characters
tics. The leaves of this tree are so
highly electrical that whoever touches
one of them receives a severe electrical
shock. Even upon the magnetic nee

name of Philotcea electrical, has
strong influence, causing magnetic
variations at distance of seventy feet.

electricity also disappears in wet

The Firsf Tencnna.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use,
teacups were scarce, says the jewelers.
Circular. At the same time coffee was
introduced, but, apart from CONSTANT
nople, the first coffee cups in Europe
date back only as far as 1915 in Venice,
1859 in Paris, 1852 in London and 1894
in Leipsic. From the first, however,
the conventional oriental coffee cup,
without stem or handle, was little used,
and in Germany not at all. The Chin
ese teacup was used for tea, coffee and
chocolate as well. Specimens of porce-
lain were undoubtedly introduced into
Europe in the middle ages, yet not till
the sixteenth century were cups i'm
ported from China in any great guam
titles, and even then it was as articles
of vertu. Most of those found their
way back into China again, as collect
ing porcelain is a lasting fad there,
and high prices are paid for good speci-
mems. The collection of Chinese por-
celain, if only the genuine specimens
are desired, requires immense study
and knowledge, as the Chinese are
skillful imitators and put numerous
falsifications on the market.

FiIiaI Affection.

The following anecdote is given by
an Indian officer as illustrative of the
manners and customs of the willy Pa
than. A certain General and his staff,
while vending their way through one
of the narrowest valleys of Tirah, were
annoyed by the attentions of a solitary
marksman, who from time to time sent
a bullet unpleasantly close. At last
the General turned to his orderly-a
Pathan sowar-and told him to dis
mount, take his carbine, and try and
stalk the mountaineer. The sowar
started off, and presently there was a
crack, and gray-bearded old Afridi
tumbled headlong down the mountain
side. The sowar returned and fell in
to his place. well done!' said the
General. But how on earth did you
manage it so easily?" "Oh," replied
the sowar, 81 knew his habits. He
was my father"

COLOR BLIND PAINTERS.
strange That such Thing Could Be, But
1t Is So.

1t Is So.
''To speak of color blind artist
sounds like Joking said noted Eng
lish ocuIist, but, strange as it seems,
there are several persons so affected
who can nevertheless paint extremely
well. Numbers of color blind people
there are, of course, who draw perfect
~ in pencil, ink and crayons, but l
myself know scene painter attached
to provincial theatre, who, though
color blind paints all it's scenery and
has quite local name, not only for his
interiors and oak chambers, but even
for landscapes.
II can tell you also of two London
ladies who consulted me for color
blindness who paint really beautiful
pictures. One is the daughter of late
famous artist and was taught painting
by her father. She is quite unable to
distinguish red from green, but her
cOlors are all labelled with the names,
and she has been taught which to use
for certain effects. Possibly her paint
ing may seem. to her eyes. as it were,
drawing with brush and shading
with the colors.
The other is lady artist of some
celebrity who has for years exhibited
annually in London. The public is not
aware that she is color blind She
painted the wedding group for a GER
tain noble bridegroom a year or two
ago. and also several public mems por-
traits, and one of an eminent physician
fetched her 500 guineas.
There is a gentleman residing at
Kensington, who, HAVING years ago left
the navy through fndil > his advance
ment hopelessly barred by his color
blindness, is at present making several
hundreds a year by his brush as an
artist, designing most artistic and
brightly colored picture posters for
advertisement hoardings."

The NEW TELEscRIPToR.
A Recent Invention That May superseds
the Telephone.

the Telephone.
The telescriptor is recent invention
designed to take the place of the tele-
graph. and to some extent of the tele-
phone, which can be furnished for a
tri1e more than the price Of an ordin-
airy typewriter, and so simple as to be
managed by child. A necessary part
of its usefulness is to have it connect
ed with an exchange like that Of a
telephone company where ones wire
may be connected with that Of the per-
son with whom he wishes to commune
cate. It is preferable to the telephone
In that the communication is printed,
and is always distinct, with no chance
for mistaking one word or phrase for
another which sounds like it but means
something very different.
The same instrument is used both as
a receiver and a transmitter, and the
apparatus at both ends of the line re-
cords the message which is sent. A
perfect copy is thus made automatical
\ ly by the very act of sending, and may
be retained like copies in a letter-book.
Another advantage Of the device Is
that it delivers the message whether a
! person is on hand to receive it or not,
and if he is away from his Office the
message awaits his return Perfect
secrecy is attainable by the telescrip-
tor, which is not true in the case of the
telephone Only one wire is required,
the earth being employed for the re-
turn route.
No one needs to he told of the disad-
vantages of the telephone By the new
telegraphy one can communicate with
another at a distance, sending and re-
ceiving messages without the worry Of
the telephone or the delay of the tele-
gram. The invention is of English
origin.

MEIlrEs AssERr THEMsEIVEs.

WHITES ASSERT THEMSELVES.
1t has been truthfully said that the
quickest and surest way to make a
white Republican good Democrat ON
state and local issues is to send him
down South. He may retain his love
for his party on national issues, but IL
there be a large negro element In the
community in which he resides he will,
on state and local issues, cast his lot
with the Democratic party for the pur-
pose Of maintaining the supremacy OF
the white man. Just now Wilmington
IN. CD is I'M the throes OF a strug-
gle to maintain such supremacy. We
are informed by dispatches from the
South that mass meeting of GOO cti-
zens was held at the Court House IN
that city ito assert the supremacy OF
the white man." The whites carried
the election. Ex-Repre sentative Wan-
dell presided and read a series OF reso-
buttons, which were adopted reciting
the determination OF the white citizens
TO rule the city and to commence i'm
mediately, declaring that hereafter
white labor should DE given preference
over colored; Calling for the Danish
ment OF Alexander Manly, a negro
newspaper publisher, and calling on
the mayor and chief OF police and
Board Of Aldermen to vacate their Of
fees. Representative-elect Bellamy
urged the expulsion OF Manly in twelve
hours. It is understood that Manly has
already left. but the mayor and chief
OF police say they will not resign
Since this there hasbeen riot and blood
shed, and the whites are asserting their
supremacy with a vengeance. SO deter
mined has been their action that the
negroes are terror-stricken. The whites
have secured absolute control OF the
municipal government and propose 10
