THE SORROWFUL TREE.
1t Blossoms Beautifully Bat Only at
Night-Sunlight Blights
It's Bloom

There is a tree in Persia to which
the name 1.-THE Sorrowful Tree"i is given.
Perhaps because it blossoms only in
the evening.
When the first star appears in the
heavens the first bud of the sorrowful
tree opens, and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thickly stud the
sky, the buds continue gardually open
ing until the whole tree looks like one
immense white flower. On the APP
proach of dawn, when the brilliancy of
the stars gradually fades in the light
of day, the sorrowful tree closes it's
flowers, and ere the sun is fully risen
not single blossom is visible. A sheet
of faded dust, as white as snow, COW
ers the ground around the foot of the
tree, which seems blghted and with
cred during the day, while, however, it
is actively preparing for the next noe
turnal festival. The fragrance of the
blossoms is like that of the evening
primrose.
If the tree is cut down close to the
roots new plant shoots up and attains
maturity in an incredibly short time.
In the vicinity of this singular tree
thers usually grows another, which is
alniIHt an exact counterpart of the sor-
rowful tree, but less beautiful, and,
strange to say, it blooms only in the
DAYTIME.

GLAD TO GET A GLITCH"
Corner Policemen who Stand All
Day Become Very
Tired.

About six o'clock every evening at
Washington street and Fifth avenue
one sees policemen, all of unusually
large proportions, jumping off street
cars, trucks, express wagons and We
hicles of every sort, and he wonders
what's up. The big men in blue crowd,
regardless of any attempt at regular
ity, into the old Times building, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
It's only the central detail men-the
men who guard the crossings in the
downtown business misunderstanding
home from work. They are picked for
their size, intelligence, of course, also
being taken into consideration. But
the men will average 200 pounds in
weight. They go to their posts at seven
o'clock every morning, and, except for
a short relief for dinner, stand on their
crossings all day long. Two hundred
pounds resting on pair of feet for ten
hours at stretch wearies and tries the
feet fearfully, and when his work is
done the crossing man, while he could
continue to stand perhaps for hours
longer without suffering, finds walking
very painful.
So it is that he seeks any kind of an
old vehicle to get him back to the sta
ton for roll call. 1t is the hardest work
in the business, the policemen say,
standing on cobble crossing all day.

A TRICK CAMERA.
One That Was Disguised ms Wicker
basket and Used to Photo
graph Fortincations.

"A travelling photo salesman showed
me a very ingenious trick camera the
other day." said local dealer to the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. 1t was
Q box about six inches square, set in
side of what seemed to be an ordinary
wicker lunch basket. When desired,
the box could be pushed down through
the basket, so that its top was on q
level with the wicker bottom. The top
er, and the basket would then appear TO
be perfectly empty. The camera pro-
trudirg meanwhile from the under side.
An upward push would restore it to its
original position, and the lens worked
through a small hole near the end. The
continuance was evidently of foreign
manufacture, and the salesman told me
it had been made especially for an
agent who was sent to take pictures OF
Notifications on the French frontier.
According to his story, which is a
little romantic, but which l have no
reason to doubt, the spy would saunter
out, dressed as a tourist, and carrying
the lunch basket on his arm. When
an officer came along he would push
down the box and show him that the
basket was perfectly empty. 1t never
occurred to the guards to turn the
thing upside down or it would have
been promptly confscated. The pres
ent owner carries it around as a curio,
and it is certainly the oldest little ma
chine ever laid eyes on. AS far as 1
know, it is the only camera in the
world that is mounted on disappear
ING carriage"

PARRADo's BUTLER's PANTRY.
Cuban Papers Assert That 1t Was a
Torture Chamber.

Havana, Jan. 4.-The afternoon papers
to-day sent a thrill through the city with
a report that a torture and execution
chamber had been found at the residence
Of the Spanish military governor, adjoin-
ing The palace.
The papers declared that there the Span
ish officials questioned and murdered pollt-
ical prisoners. According to their ac-
counts, the floor of the chamber was COW
cred with dried blood, and its walls were
indented with machete strokes.
An excited crowd soon gathered outside
the residence, which was last occupied by
Gen. Parade. The reported torture
chamber is a room about eight feet by
eight, just off the dining room. As a mat
ter of fact, it was probably used as a pan
try. In the wall there is a dirty iron bar
evidently used to hang meat on and a
piece of discoiored rope is suspended from
it. 1t is inconceivable that Gen. Parade
practiced torture next to his dining room
For purpose of better military control
the suburbs of Havana have been placed
under Gen. Ludlows command, and the
detached companies of volunteers and po-
lice in the suburbs have been removed
from Cen Fitzhugh Lees command 10
