Victory for LiauorLaxx

The suprme court of Vermont has
decided that the liquor law passed by
the state legislature in 1888 is consti-
tutionai. This law provides that the
holding OF United States licerse for
the sale of liquor is prima facie evil
dence that the holder is a common
sele-, and he may be punished for vio-
lating the prohibitory law, although
no evidence exists that a sale of LIQUOR

A CURIOUS ORCHID.

A most curious and interesting or 1 enid has lately been discovered by MT. K. A. Suverkrop, of Philadelphia, while engaged in plant hunting along the
 Rio de la Plata. He was sitting by the
 side of lagoon, near forest of dead
 trees which had been choked to death
 by orchids and climbing cacti. A
 branch of one of these trees stretched out in front of him and about a foot above the water. Upon the branch
 were growing many orchids and among the rest there was one which Mir Su
 yerkrop had never seen before. The sharp lanceolate leaves grew all around
 the foot and radiated from it. and from the centre of axis of the plant there hung a long tape-lke stem, about an eight of an inch thick and fourth of an inch wide This stem hung down in a graceful curve, and about four inches of it were under the surface Of the wa ter. On going up to examine the new specimen, the discoverer touched the leaves, and was astonished to see the centre stem convusively coil itself into a spiral like the spring of watch. On close examination and dissection 1t was found that the stem was a long flat tube with an opening at the outer end and connected at the Inner end with the roots by a series of hair-like tubes By observation it was found that the purpose of this stem was to supply water to the roots. When the plant is thirsty the probscis is gradu- ally uncoiled and lowered until the tip is filled with water then it gradually coiled up again, carrying with it the water, which, as the last coil is made, tricl1les out upon the root at the other end. MT. Suverkrap found many other specimens of this orchid some of them growing over places from which the water had been dried up by the sun. Speaking of these he says: "It was al- most pitiable to see how the tube would work It's way over the ground, in search of the water that was not" From the Boston Transcript.

HOW HE SUCCEEDED.

If I hadn't acted upon the advice of a friend I am afraid that l should not have been married to-day, at least to my present wife" laughed the genial traveller. When I courted the lady she was of a very romantic disposition, the result of reading class of novels that pass for literature among some people I think at that time she had an idea that some day prince with nod ding plumes would come riding out of the east and carry her away for his bride At any rate whenever l pro- posed. which was about as often as met her, got beautifully turned down. I was getting discouraged when an old friend of mine. who understood the situation, said to me;
 My boy, Jennie is a good girl but her head is in the clouds the greater part of the time. Now, what you want to do is to catch he. when she is down on the earth with the rest of us. Let me give you a pointer. Every Monday morning she is obliged to take care of the large family baking, and right there is your opportunity to find her with her feet firmly planted upon the earth. Call around there when she is over the top of the oven and state your case"
 T took the hint and called early one Monday morning. I found her in a calico dress, with her hair done up in curl papers. and her arms busily mani pulating a rolling pin and there, seated on kitchen chair, without one roman tic feature about it, she promised to be mine. She told me aftarWard that at the time she didn't know which way was east letting alone conjuring up q prince. '-Detroit Free Press.
