Corundrum.

A good conundrum is like an inani-
mate object, because 1t cannot die. A
correspondent Of the New York Sun
recalls one propounded by the poet
John Godfrey SAKE, and mentioned to
the writer by one of his daughters. Al
though of reputable age, it is apparent
ly new in print and SO is repeated
here:
Can you tell me why a hypocrite's
eye can better descry than you can, or
1, upon how many toes a pussy cat
goes?
A hypocrite neat can best counter
felt, and so, suppose, can best count
her toes.

Philadelphians on Diamond street
were very much interested the other

woman stylishly dressed after, a pug
dog. The wind was high and during a
gust that came around a corner the

Religious Conserving Power.

Man today begins life in garden of
innocence and purity, wherein are the
divinest posi- bilities, but where there
is also the subtle spirit awaiting the
chance to beguile. In every walk, as
he grows to muturity, are impressions
made, on the plastic soul, and ever
present is the intelligence, working Of
ten for good, but which may in self
sufficiency beguile to evil paths. 1t is

Some Freak Plants.

There is a plant in Jamaica called
the life plant. because it seems almost
Impossible to kill it. When leaf is
t off and hung up by string it sends
white, thread-like roots, gathers
oisture from the air, and begins to
grow new leaves. In South America
is a flower which can only be seen
when the wind Is blowing. The plant
belongs to the cactus family, and when
the wind blows a number of beautiful
flowers protrude from little Jumps On

will appear at the Congrega-

one concert only, the 18th of
November. The following is
from the New York Musical
Courier: "Mr. Perry is the only
American pianist who ever
played at the Imperial Court
in Germany, and is the only
pianist, living or dead, of
any country, who ever played
twelve hundred concerts in ten
consecutive years" "He is the
only blind pianist who has
succeeded in winning an un.
questionable position in the
front rank of his profession" I"
Mr.. Perry brings his own con-
cert grand piano, and takes no
engagement except at guaran-
teed price. He is enroute to
the coast, and could give only
five concerts on his way, and
this city is fortuntte in secur-
