THE MENAGERIE PLANT

Several fine specimens OF the Japan.

addition in front OF wholesale florists
shop in Dey street, have met with great
admiration. The lex, or larch, plant
l. peculiarly pliable when young, and
the native japanese have twisted the
plants into quaint figures, chiefly OF
birds and beasts. As result OF their
handiwork pedestrians in Dey street
are confronted with huge cranes, roost-
ers bearing on their backs broods OF
young CHECKERS, turtles, frogs and q
multitude OF snakes twisting about in
shapes weird and fantastic. The plant

thousands of shoots of green covered
with small white petals grow. The
Japanese gardener taxes charge OF it
when the plant is young, and by bend
ing and binding the stems with wire
gradually forms it into any shape de.
sired. As the stems grow stronger the
forms which they were trained to as.
sumo when young remain perfect, and
ahen the plant is full grown and ready
to transplant the gardener has collec-
ton OF birds and animals which lends
to his garden the appearance of anal
menagerie. The bird and beast plants
in the Dey street collection were raised
near Yokohama, Japan, aud were ship.
ped to this country as an experiment.
The plant is almost unknown in this

1t is always with a feeling of delight
full expectancy that this event is looked
forward to by the public, for those who
have charge of the concert attempt each
succeeding year to eclipse the GROWING
success of the last, and this they do,
thus the interest never lags. Yet there
is always feeling tinged with regret,
too, on this occasion, as 1t causes an
exodus of some of their dearest friends,
who leave with the closing of school.

Two Strings to Her Bow.

An amusing complication has
arisen IN the Modern Woodmen of
a merlcan over the legality of the
claim OF Mrs. Maud Frost, of Kan
sas City, Mo-, to the mortuary
benefit of Charles E. Grant, a
member OF the order who commit
ted suicide last July, leaving his
certl1lcate payable to Mrs. Frost, as
his tancee. The organization re
fuses to pay the insurance money
on the ground that Mrs. Frost's
husband is still living,'and that she
cannot therefore legally be the
t1ancee of Grant. Mrs. Frost
claims that she has not lived with
her husbaul for years. and that she
had promised to marry Grant as
soon as she could obtain divorce.
Should the courts decide that
Mrs. Frost is entitled to receive the
money on the ground that she had
promised TO marry Grant if she
ever had chance, it would seem
10 follow that married woman
might become the af1ianced wife of
half score of men. and In the

IT they had thought so much of her
as to make her their beneficiary.
The Woodmen, we think, are fully
justified in their refusal to pay on
the deceased certificate, for it may
fairly be laid down as legal maxim
that no woman can be recognized
as the aftianced wife of another
man when she has hunband llv-
ing, although their might be cases
were in equity she would be fully
entitled to the money that was
meant for her.

in the fraternal beneficiary orders
it is necessary that the beneficiary
named in members certificate
shall have an lnsurable interest III
