A Stone That Grows.

A West Gouldsboro (Me.) man tells
a queer story about a stone that grows.
1t is an egg-shaped, tlinty looking rock,
which he picked up in a cove near his
home over thirty years ago. Then it
weighed about twelve pounds, and from
its odd shape was kept in the house and
on the doorstep as curiosity. AS the
years passed the stone increased in
size. Six years ago 1t weighed forty
pounds. The owner swears it is the
same stone, and tells a likely story,
with numerous witnesses to back him

OF all the vegetables which come
into the summer market the most diff
cult to raise is the egg plant, and for
this reason few truckers care to take
the trouble with thea. Few people in
the city really know how an egg plant
grows. The general impression Is that
it grows egg upward on a stock like the
caulifiower and there are some who be-
lieve it grows In the ground like tur-
nip In fact, it grows on a bush with
g large leaf, and Is never so large as
tomato-vine. The plants must be
raised in a hotbed and set out in May
and require more than ordinary care.
A slight rain will sometimes cause all
the eggs to rot and occasionally they
rot without any rain. One egg In half

BEAUTIFUL DEADLY ORCHIDS
A Forest Of Beautiful Flowers That No
Ono Can Approach.

A Forest Of Benutiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.
M. Serge Belaguine, Russian ex-
plorer of Brazil, states in an interview
recently published In The Gaulois that
few degrees below the equator he dis
covered q forest Of flowers that pre-
vented him from approaching them.
With every Difference to Mr.. Belaguine,
that forest seems to have been discov-
cred before, says Golfers Weekly Two
years ago there appeared in a San
Francisco paper an account provided
by a bulb hunter returning from the
same region, who declared that after
noticing in forest an odor. vague and
sweet at first, but which increased as
he advanced, ultimately he reached a
clearing. and there, straight ahead.
was a wilderness of orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with thom, they trailed on
the ground, mounted In beckoning con-
tortions, danglod from branches, fen in
sheets, and elongated and expanded as
far as the eye could reach. A breeze
passed and they swayed with it. NOV
ing with life of their own, dancing In
the glare of the equatorial sun. and as
they danced exhaling an odor that pro-
tected them more sheerly than wall.
In vain did that hunter endeavor to ap-
proach. There was veil Of perfumed
chloroform through which he could see.
but through which, try as he might, he
could not pass. 1t held him back more
effectually than bayonets, and 1t was
torture to him to see those fawers and
to feel that before he could reach them
he must die, suffocated by the very
splendors OF which he was in search,
poisoned by floral jewels such as no
one perhaps had seen before. At the
time the place was known as the vii
lage of demon flowers

An Accomm odating Master.

During the great strike few years
ago among the employees Of the North
British railway much difficulty was
experienced in finding qualified engine
drivers. Upon one occasion a young
fellow was put upon a section in Fife.
One day he ran some distance past
a station, and upon putting back he
went as far the other way. The sta
ton master, seeing him preparing for
another attempt, to the great amuse-
ment Of the passengers on the plat
form, shouted:
"Just Dide whaur ye are, Tummas.
Well shift the statiOn!"
