Vegetable Characteristics.

Certain plants are bohemian, nour-
ishlng themselves from day to day
without care for the morrow.
Others, on the contrary, are pro
foundly selfish or provldent-but for
themselves. without occupying thenns
selves with their neighbors. Such is.
above all. the case with the potato,
which, so long as IL is living. not only
takes the food and water necessary to
Its daily nodrishment, hut makes
strong provision, storing-like the anti
Its nourishment for winter In its tubere
cles. So when 1t has lost Its green
leaves, when Its stem is dry. 1t can
sleep In peaceful hope of renewed
spring, Its capital Is put to one side
ready to give new dividends at the
general assembly of plants the follow
ing year But II works for itself alone.
On the contrary. the bean ls'a plant
devoted TO her children. Knowing that
she is soon going to die, she hurries
to give her children the nourishment
which II Will be impossible for her TO
give later. She surrounds. them with
sort of pocket of nourlshment, which
will permit them. when they are sep
arated from her by wind or by death,
to find their own existence. This clas-
slficatlon OF plants into bohemians and
selfish and unselfish is worthy OF being
remarked.

NEW SWINOLlNG GAME.
Prosperous Looking Old Gentleman
Has a Good One.

a.
Persons who advertise for situations
should beware of a slick swindler, who
is working a new game. He Is de-
scribed as an elderly man of substan-
tial appearance and an air of fatheriy
benevolence, whose very manner Is
enough to disarm suspicion.
His scheme is to call on young men
and women who are advertising for sit
uations, and after a long talk, during
the course of which he inquiries closely
into their habits, he engages them.
Here Is my address," he says, Civ
ing one that is equally as fictitious as
his name. "You may begin work In
the morning"
Satisfactory terms have been agreed
upon, usually In excess Of what the ap-
plicant had expected. This puts him
In a good humor. Then the old man
rises as though to take his departure,
and, still talking, he feels in his peck
cts. He discovers that n pickpocket
has gone through him, but, fortunately,
he had very little money when he start
ed out. Still 1t is embarrassing to be
totally without change. Could he be
obliged with a small loan, just as dol
lar or SO? 1t will be returned when tie
young man or young woman, as the
case may be, comes to work In the
morning.
Under the circumstances IL would not
be policy to refuse, and he gets what
he asks for. The next morning the
victim goes to the address given pre-
pared to start In on the new duties and
finds that no such person is known.
Several cases of this kind have re-
Gently come to light, says the Philadel-
phia Record, and the same benevolent
looking old man has been implicated in
all of them.
