Singular Plant of the East.

The Rose of Jericho is one Of the
most singular forms of plant life. 1t
is an annual and is found in Syria.
Africa and Arabia. During the grow
ing season it presents no strange char
acteristics, but as the pods begin to
ripen on the approach of dry weather
the branches drop their leaves and curl
inward, presenting the appearance Of
dead twigs. When completely ripe, the
whole plant looks like ball of Curl
ously-constructed wicker-work at the
top of short stem. The roots die,
and the plant is carried to great dis
tances by the wind. When the ap-
parently dead and worthless ball
reaches the sea or any other water. or
becomes wedged in some place where
rain falls on it, it unbends and the
branches resume their former position.
The pods then open and discharge
their seeds hundreds Of miles from the
place of original growth. The monks
in Palestine call it "Mary's Flower"
from their belief that it expands each
year on the day and hour of the birth
of the Savior. 1t is also known as the
resurrection plant.

Too Polite for Him.

A brave, active, intelligent terrier
one day discovered a monkey belong
ing to an intinerant an-grinder
seated upon a bank within the grounds
and at once made a dash toward him.
The monkey, who was attired in a
jacket and hat, awaited the onset with
such undisturbed tranquility that the
dog halted within few feet of him to
reconnoitre.
Both animals took a long, steady
stare at each other, but the dog evil
IDENTIFY was recovering from his sur
prise, and about to make a spring for
the intruder. At this critical juncture
the monkey, who had remained per-
fectly quiet hitherto. raised his paw,
and gracefully saluted by raising his
hat
The effect was magical; the dogs
head and tail dropped, and he sneaked
off and entered the house, refusing to
leave it till he was satisfied that his
polite but mysterious guest had de-
parted. His whole demeanor showed
plainly that he felt the monkey was
"uncanny;" and not to be meddled
with.

Why Doctor Temple Had Restless Night

Of the latter's wife. Next morning the
host politely expressed the hope that
when his lordship again honored the
house Mrs. Temple would accompany
him.

ically replied: Mrs. Temple doesn't
at all like roughing it,"
The clergyman's feelings were deep
ly hurt, for the visit had meant some
expense and much anxiety to him. He
unburdened his soul to his wife on her
return.

When Carnegie Made One Dollar Week
"Everything comes to him who
works while he waits" is one Of Mr..
Carnegie's notices. Waiting, but
working meanwhile, he began laying
up his first $1,000 while making $1.20
a week as "bobbin-boy" in a cotton
mill in Allegheny City. His father,
mother, younger brother and himself
the family-had just come from Scot
land. and had hardly got their two
room house "to rights" when ANDY"
brought in his first contribution to the
family earnings. But the lad of twelve
was doing a grown mans work, find
ing his way to the mill and beginning
on his bobbin while it was still dark
outside, every morning except Sunday,
and working until after dark every
evening, with only forty minutes in
terval at noon.
Seven steps above this, eight steps
in all, he had to climb before he finally
put that thousandth dollar in the bank
The second step was made in his
thirteenth year. He became a dummy
engine tender in bobbin factory, also
in Allegheny City. But his work there
vas even harder than IN the cotton
mill; for he was put to firing the boil
er in the cellar, as we'll as to tending
the little engine which ran the ma
chinery.

Rev. Simon ]. Mcpherson preached

New York recently. He pictured in
burning words the terrors awaiting the
unrepentant wicked in the next world.
His sermon made a deep impression
on the congregation. The organist had
not known the subject of the sermon
when he selected the response. and
thought no more about 1t.
The organist began to play the air
pianissimo. and broad grin spread
over every face. Doctor Mcpherson
looked appealingly upward to the or
ganist, and then turned over the
leaves Of the hymn-book with desper-
ate eagerness. The organist left his
pipes, and hurried down to tks pastor.

interested friend Of Madam Willard.
Very pretty, with sunny hair, blue

Yes, she was a bottle baby, or one

with no regret. She always slept with
both hands on my face. She was a
very affectionate little creature. She
could talk some time before she could
walk, speaking quite wisely at four
teen months, but not walking until
twenty-four months OLD. AS little
girl she was very confiding and fond
of her childish friends.

When she was two years old we
removed from Churchville to Oberlin,

a tirescme journey, for we went by

around my neck, laid her head upon
my shoulder and said, Mamma, sissy's

lieve that she intuitively recognized
the fact that it is not ones real self
that is ever tired, but only this dress
of mortality that aches sometimes.
She used to see the students re-
hearsing their speeches and would get
up an amusing imitation of them, when
but three years old. Many a time I
