Rough leaved plants are not SO much
bcset, by insects as are smooth leaved
opes, nor do they get SO dusty. The fine
hairs that cover them seem to be pro-
lection from both foes. They do net
need wiping or artificial showering.

up big shovclful of it's native earth With
It and place It in conditions as nearly like
those of its habitat us you possibly can,
but it will languish for a little and then
die-of homesickness perhaps. Who

LONDON, July 29.-A dense fog hung

Bately. Seven Of the crew were rescued,
ebut it is believed the other IL members

. From tho Instant when the phantom
came into view from tho bridge Of the
Campa:.::a until tho last vestige OF the
vessel vanished, some 60 or so seconds
had elapsed.
According to the Embleton's surviv-
ors, for nearly a half an hour before
the collision the captain and first officer
were below at breakfast, and although
the fog whistle of large steamer could
be heard every minute the bark never
shifted her course, the helmsman re-
ceiving no order
When at 8:2o a. M. the second officer,
to use his own phrase, 'heard the rush
Of steamers bows" he shouted down
to the captain who rushed on deck, but
he was too late to give an order.
The Campania was under one-third
steam. The captain, first officer and
pilot were Oh the bridge. The engines
were instantly reversed and the helm
put hard down. No precaution was
omitted, and everything possible was
done to save life.

Lincoln and the Quaker.

Here is a story of President Lincoln
obtained by Curtis, of the Chicago
Record, from the late Judge Carter,
who was member Of Congress from
Cleveland during the war and one OF
Mr.. Lincoln's most intimate friends,
1t relates to Quaker ph1lantnroplss
from Philadelphia who did not nave
a hair on his head. but took great
interest in public affairs and was con-
stantly calling at the White House
in behalf of somebody or other who
happened to be in trouble, and took
I'D great deal of Mr.. Lincolns time,
The President treated him with great
courtesy, although his patience was
frequently tried One day when the
philanthropist was particularly YER
bose and persistent and refused to de-
part, although he knew that import
ant delegations were waiting, Mr.. Lin
coin suddenly rose, walked over to
wardrobe in the corner of the Cabinet
chamber and took a bottle from the
shelf. Handing it to the visitor ne
remarked:
"Did you ever use this stuff on you'
head?"
"No, sir; I never did"
'Well," remarked Mr.. Lincoln. i
advise you to try it, and if at first you
don't succeed keep it up. They say
it's good thing to make the hair,
grow. Take this bottle with you end
come back in six months and tell me
how it works"
The astonished philanthropise COW
cred his polished pate with his broad
brimmed hat and left me room. while
Judge Carter. coming in with the next
delegation, found the President over
in the corner doubled up with laugh
ter at the success of his strategy, and
before he could proceed to business
the story had to be told

the rose is described as truth. In his

ignorant of nothing in the con-

to observe Barnabe during his
solitary meditations One day
therefore, when the latter had, as was
his wont, retired to the chapel, Dom
Prior came, accompanied by two elders
of the convent, to espy through the
cracks in the door what was goingson
within.
They beheld Barnabe in front of the
altar of the Holy Virgin, his head on
the floor, his feet in the air, juggling
with the six copper balls and the
twelve knives He was performing in
honor of the Mother OF God those tricks
which had won for him the greatest
praise. Notwithstanding that the
si1nple-hearted man was thus giving
his talent and knowledge in service to
the Holy Virgin, the two old Monks
denounced it as a sacrilege.

innocent soul, but he DENIED him de-

preparing to draw him forth bodily
