MANILA CIGARS IN EUROPE,
A Pretty Fair Smoke Costs a Cent and

From the Wilmington News.


Real Manila cigars are now sold in Dres-

of the dealer and the cost of transportation,

A NATURAL FLY TRAP.
A Carolina Plant That is Surer Than
FIypaper.

From the Philadephia Press.
Flytraps are well known in the animal
Kingdom to every one who has eyes or, at
least who uses them
The delicate web of the spider and the
deeply cut and broad mouth of the swal-
low at once suggest themselves. But that
vegetable should have an exuuisiteIy
constructed and perfect apparatus of this
kind is very remarkable, when 1t is re-
membered that plants differ markedly from
animals in regard to their food. For,
while animals live on organic substances
that is, on plants or other anmals-vege-
tables live on inorganic substances.
1t is, then, unlikely that fly could SUD-
ply plant with food, and vet a more per-
feet fiytrap than the leaves Of dionea cam
not be Imagined.
This little plant is native Of the sandy
bogs in the pine barrens of Carolina. It
grows to height of from six to twelve
inches, producing a loose head of large
whitish flowers. not unlike the flower of
the lady's smock.
The flower stalk rises from a rosette of
yellowish green leaves. spreading on the
ground. Each leaf is divided by a deep in
cision into two portions. the lower being a
broadly winged foot stalk, and the upper
the blade or true leaf itself.
This upper portion is the fiytrap-the
most curious part of the plant-and de-
mands a careful description.
1t is roundish. and divided into two equal
parts by a strong mid-rib. The margins
are fringed with a row of strong spiny
bristles, so that it may be -likened to two
upper eyelds Joined at their bases. The
leaf is little hollow on either side of the
mid-rib. the upper surface is dotted with
minute reddish glands. and each hollow is
furnished with three slender bristles. The
sensitiveness of the leaf chiefly lies in
these bristles. If an insect alights on the
leaf and touches one or more of them the
sides suddenly close with a force so great
as to imprison the little creature, notwith-
standing all it's efforts to escape. The
fringe of bristles the opposite side OF
the leaf fnterlace like the fingers of the
two hands clasped together, or like the
teeth of a steel trap.
The insect is not crushed or suddenly de- {,
stroyed, but is retained firmly imprisoned
until ii ceases to move, which would mean
until it was dead. and then the leaf slowly /
expands.
The two lobes are EMBODIED at night. hut 7
