TENERIFE DRAGON TREE.
In Many Respects It Is the Most Pe- cuIiar Plant Growth of Which
 We Have Knowledge.

Perhaps the strangest vegetable in the world is the dragon tree of Tene- rife, one of the Canary islands. It is a sort of giant asparagus. according to some, the dead branches serving as a support for the crowns, Humboldt es- timated one specimen to be 6.G3O years old. New roots. as they come into be- ing, encircle the original stem, which is hid far away inside, and the roots which become detached from the stem may be. seen hanging, withered, in the upper part cf the tree. The trunk is generally hollow.
 The hollow of one great tree, which perished in a storm in 1867. was used as a temple by the natives of Tenerife be- fore Europeans landed on, the island, When the Spanish took possession of the island the hollow was changed into

MRS. CAMPS HOUSE.
An Abode Dear to Every Lover of
 Dickens Stories.
It Is Soon to Disappear from Kings gate Street, HoibOrn, Where Poll SweedIcpipe Raised Birds
 and Dressed Hair.

Mrs. Camp lived in Kingsgate street, Holborn, says the London Daily Graph ic. On that point there is no possibility Of doubt Apart from the evidence CT Martin Chuzz!ewit," there is a letter in the published correspondence of Charles Dickens wk;ch places the fact beyond dispute. But that she lived in the house shown in our iIlustra- tion is not capable of quite such rigid demonstration It must be admitted that cur sketch does not in the least resemble the shop of NIT. Poll Sweedle- pipe, bird fancier and easy shaver and fashionable hairdresser. with whom the worthy lady lodged, as it appears in "Phiz'" illustration in the first edi- ton of Martin Chuzzlewit." But tra- dition says that this, was the house; and history, at all events, records that at about the time when Anthony Chuz- zlewit died the house we illustrate was occupied bJ gentleman who combined the two professions which Poll Swee- dlepipe adorned.
 The house, Dickens tells us, was next door but one to the celebrated mutton pie shop, and directly opposite to the original cats meat warehouse;" but the original and the celebrated hare long faded into the limbo into which Sairey Camps house is soon to fellow them. Accepting the tradition that this is really Sairey's home, it is a very memorable house which our ar tist has drawn. It once had a door knocker, which was so constructed as to wake the street with ease, and even spread alarms of fire in Holborn, with out making the smallest impression on the premises to which it was ad dressed;" but, unfortunately, the first floor window, which lighted Sairey's

An eminent medical man whose treatises on human hair have attracted much notice, among many other strik- ing statements as to woman's chief beauty, remarked that "bristIing,' . when used in speaking of the human hair, is not a figure. The hair is sub ject to and influenced by almost every passion of the human mind, and emo tional hair, Of which he has treated es- pecially, he claims is quite common. Hair looks, feels and falls differently when a person is in sorrow, joy. sur prise or dejection.

It used to be employed in medicines, but TOW is used chiefly for mixing with paints ard varnishes, and for cnbalming purposes.
 There are ether trees Of different species, from the dragon trees cf Tene- rife, the saps of which are called drag .on's blood. They grow in the East In- dies and in South America But the dragon tree of Tenerife has a reputa- ton by itself and is wonder of na- tUrc.
 The natives say that the great dragon tree of TeneTife was once guarded, by a dragon. 4 big chief killed the dragon and watered the tree with his blood. Ever after that the tree gave forth the peculiar sap known as dragons blood If is difficult to account for the fact that the other trees also give forth this sap unless We surmise that there were a lot. of little dragons 10 furnish their blood Tor watering purposes.

SELLING COMB HONEY.
4 Simple Plan That Has Been Success

A simple Ilan Ihab nus Seen success
 fully Used for Years.
 There is need for a good, cheap and substantial way to put up small quan- titles of comb honey to preserve it from being broken until the purchaser can get it to his home. The plan that one beeleeper has used for ten years and gives an illustrated description of in the American Bee Journal may not be the best, but it is convenient and eff fective when the material can be ob- taincd with little trouble and expense. Here is what he says about his method: What I use is called basket splints'' at the shops. 1 think almost any bas- l,ct shop will sell the material very cheaply if you will order it at q time when they are the least crowded with other work, say in the winter or early spring.

It's no particular disadvantage for a man, either in love or business, to be plain of face. If his ugly features are intelligent, above all. if he is capable of love-making, he need not hesitate to sue for any lady's favor. What best wins a woman's love is a mans capaci- ty for love-making. And the ugly man may possess the qualities of devoted lover as much as the handsome man. He is apt, indeed, to be a better lover, because he is less vain, and more sim cere in admiring the quality of beauty, which he cannot see in his mirror There is every reason why plain man should be able to win a woman's love. where a handsome one fails. What women love best is manliness and sin cerity. If the ugly man can offer these he need not remain unmated-if he will but speak. Women despise laggard WOOer

Pay Fairly Well.
 The live question among farmers now is what can Ea done to make farming pay: If sugar beet growing pays in Nebraska may it not be made profitable in other grain-growing states? It is an interesting question. What, then are they doing in that state that is taking the lead in this industry?

Capacity Of 9 corn c-.,,.

It is a safe rule in estimating the size of crib to allow two cubic feet to each bushcl of corn. By a cubic bushel is
 meant 70 pounds of ear corn, which is equivalent to 56 pounds of sheIled corn The rule is to allow II pounds for cob in the fall, and 12 pounds in the spring after the corn has been dried out per fectly. Two cribs 90 feet long. six feet wide and ten feet high, will hv this rule hold 500 bushels. Ten feet is too high to throw corn easily with q scoop shovel, but there can be two open ings for each crib extending down 10 within four or five feet of the floor, and when the crib is full to the bottom of thc1c, short boards can bcplaccd across them. as the crib is filed, end most Of the filling can bc done with case.

the de facto authorities to surrender
the town, even when this was REIN

Dewey's Men Defeated Vastly Supe-
rior Force at Manila.
New York, Nov. 15.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: On
behalf of Admiral Dewey and his off,
GERS and men, Washington attorneys
have asked the court of claims to find
that the amount of bounty money due
them is 1882, 800. The decision of the
court will establish precedent which
will affect the amount of bounty to be
distributed among the officers and men
of the North Atlantic squadron, which
destroyed the squadron of Admiral Ger
vera. If the finding of the court is in
accordance with the request, the ad-
miraPs share of the bounty will be
$19,994.
Attorneys base their case upon the
claim that the defeated Spanish force
was superior to the American squadron.
1t is not contended that the enemy's
feet was superior, but that, taking
into consideration the guns at Corre-
gidor, Ell Fraile and other forts at the
entrance of the bay and those at Manila
and Cavite, which fred upon the Amer
lean ships continuously, the enemy's
force was superior.
The land batteries comprised 76
guns, ranging in caliber from 9.45
inches to 500 inches. and their weight
of fire is computed at $500 pounds.

Blackburn controlling the legislature.
In Virginia, Martin, having control of

CUBAN GovERNoRsHlP
Roosevelt Favors General Wood for tn
Important Position.

=
New York, Nov. 15.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley will tell. congress
of his intentions to appoint civil COVER
nors of Cuba and Puerto Rico, and may
even wait for congressional action be-
fore announcing the appointments.
This statement is made ON the authority
of member of the committee on for
eign relations who had just talked with
the president on the subject.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president for the imme-
diate appointment of these governors.
Governor Roosevelt is particularly ur-
gent in his championship of General
Wood for the Cuban billet. He wants
the appointment made at once, believ-
ing that the time is ripe for civil gov
ernment and that General Wood is just
the man to effect the change with the
best results for all concerned.
The president is inclined to agree
with Governor Roosevelt on all points
except the immediate appointment.
With congress only few weeks off,
he is considering whether it would not
be advisable to allow that branch OF
the government to have voice in the
matter. A comprehensive plan for the
government of Puerto Rico is now be-
ing worked into shape by Secretary
Root, which will be presented in the
form of bill similar to the one now
pending for the government of Hawaii.
