A Coughing Plant.

/ To the ordinary housemaid the fall
ing of house plant into violent
paroxysm of coughing is naturally dis
concerning. Yet there are plants which
will do this when the broom or the
buster begins to make dust fly.
This singular plant is the cough
ing bean, known to the botanist as the
Eutada tussiens 1t is native of warm
and moist tropical countries, and can
not and will not stand dust When
dust settles upon the breathing pores
in the leaves of this plant and chokes
them a gas accumulates inside the
leaves, and when it gains sufficient
strength forcibly blows off," clearing
the pores of dust and making sound
exactly like coughing. At the same
time the leaves tremble and the plant
actually "gets red in the face" through
the sinking of the green chlorophyll
grains and the appearance of red paIti-
cles on the leaves. This plant is some
times used as a house plant, and
sweeping the room sets it coughing, to
the intense establishment of persons
not familiar with its peculiarities.

Habits and General Characteristics of
the Flying squirreIs
Ii there is a four-footed animal in
the New England woods which is en-
titled to the name of gentleman in
the best sense of the term that animal
is the flying squirrel. Though the
smallest member of his family here
abouts, as woodsman he is without a
superior. Of course when it comes to
tree climbing and travelling through
the tops of closely grown trees the
gray squirrel is simply magnificent.
But in the open woods, where
the trees stand further apart, the
flying squirrel has decided ad-
vantage, for he can Just sail
through the air from one tree Trunk to
another. His appearance is in keep
ing with his character. The soft, vel
fesy far Of his upper parts is of an
lnconsplcuous shade of gray and the
under parts are white. The black eyes
are very large and prominent, the
Whlskers dark and long, and the gen
eral expression of the face good natur-
ed, but earnest. The claws are much
curved and as sharp as fishhcoks. But
the most peculiar parts of his anatomy
are the membranes by which he is en-
abled to make his long distance flights

famous, was until recently the resort
of lions, leopards and other wild ami
mails. Now. however, the hillsides
which were once the resort Of these
savage creatures are the pasture
grounds of tens of thousands of cat
tie. Nearly all dangerous animals have
been driven away from Basutolanl,
but not long ago leopard appeared
on the outskirts of a village. The ami
NAL soon became as badly frightened
as the villagers. and sought safety in
flight. The next morning the inhab-
itapts turned out for hunt. One of
the hunters was climbing steep rock,
when he suddenly found himself face
to face with the leopard. whose re-
treat was cut off by the rock itself.
Neither the man nor the animal could
escape the encounter. The dilemma
was an awkward one for the climber
was unarmed. Recognizing his dan
ger. he put forth his hands and in
desperation caught hold of the leopard
on each side of it's jaw, holding it at
arms length and calling for help. The
leopard clawed and tore his captor,
but the man held on till help arrived
and the beast was speared Now came
a question of law. BY Basuto law, the
skin belonged to the chief, who must
reward one OF three claimants-either
the man who speared the leopard, or
the man who held it so that it was
possible to spear it. or the man who,
being warned by the barking of his
dog, first discovered the animal in the
village. The Basuto Solomon decided
the case as follows: The man who
speared it could not have done so but
for the man who held it. and the man
who held it could not have known OF
its existence il the dog had not first
warned the village; therefore the
credit for the killing belonged to the
dog, whose owner was entitled to the
| reward

and after their submission had been
confirmed, recorded and ratified by
oath, the King produced the infant and
told the chiefs that this was their

and then devoted their attention to
trading with the English merchants.
The pacification of the country did
not take place all at once, for there
were chieftains who held back and
clans which refused to acknowledge
the sovereignty of the English prince,
but, little by little, the civilizing in
fiuence of trade accomplished what
military force had been unable to at
tain, and the Welsh became loyal sub
jects of the crown and especially
devoted to the heir apparent, in whom
every Welshman felt, and still feels, a
lively personal interest.
