Can she really be a miser?" he
asked, and it was agreed to test her.

had fallen under her trees, and she
asked them to return them. She sus-
pected that she was being made fun
of, and tried to avoid them if possible,
but she continued her stinginess.
Every day some one had a new story
to tell of her penuriousness, and many

Psychologists have been investigating
the nature of the poison which is en-
gendered by fatigue. If the blood of a
fatigOed animal be injected into an,
other animal that is fresh and unfa-
tigued, all the phenomena of fatigue
will be produced. The poison which is
produced by fatigue is of the same ma
ture as that into which the Indians
used to dip their arrows; and a most
deadly poison it is found to be. ''In case

to Its Meaning.

The Cuban flag was first carried by
Narciso Lopez about 1S50-1S51, when
he invaded Cuba and lost his life.
There are quite a number of versions
as to the meaning of this flag; one is
that the red equilateral triangle
stands for equality; the white star
represents Cuba, which would gain her
independence through sea of blood,
and the three blue stripes for the
three departments into which they in
tended to divide the island-eastern
Cuba, central Cuba and western Cuba.
There is another version, that once
about 1850 or 1851 group of Cuban ex-
lies were talking of the new flag that
should be adopted, and trying to get
a suitable design, when one of them
