DRINKS LIKE ELEPHANT.
How a south American Orchid Gets
n supply Of Water Whenever
1t HAY Require 1t.

What is probably the most extraor-
binary plant ever discovered has late
~ been found by E. A. Suverkorp, of
Philadelphia, who, during trips to
South America, has for some years
been contributing to the collection of
his friend, Prof. N. E. Brown, of the
Herbarium, Kew gardens, London.
The amazing plant which Mr.. Suver-
krop has now found is an orchid that
takes drink whenever it feels thirsty
by letting down a tube into the wa
ter, the tube, when not in use, being
coiled up on top of the plant.
'one hot afternoon says Mr.. Suver-
krop, 81 sat down under some brush
wood at the side of lagoon on the
Rio de la Plata. Near at hand was
a forest of dead trees, which had ac-

runaway husband into her home
again after Il years.
A telegram had come the day be-
fore telling her he was dead, and his
last request had been that his body
should be sent to her for burial. 1t
touched her deeply. To think that she
had been upon the point of yielding
to Pennington Brush's repeated plead
ings the very hour she had received
the intelligence of Brewster's death
and his belated remembrance of her
self.
Presently Pennington heard the
rumble of mems voices again as they
came out of the house, and the wagon
jolted back the way it had come. He
could hear it going down the oppo-
site side of the hill, until at last the
sound died away in the distance. Mrs.
Brewster meanwhile was alone with
the dead, for old Mr.. and Mrs. Porter
had failed to arrive. She stood in
the middle of the forlorn parlor, lamp
in hand, gazing at the coffin, which
had been placed between the two
front windows. She felt it was her
duty to lift the cover and look at the
man within, yet at the thought a
shuddering horror took hold upon
her. She took herself to task Was
this the way to feel towards a poor
mortal who asked her forgiveness in
this strange manner? She recalled
the day they were married. She
thought him very handsome then,
with his straight nose and long,
blond mustache. She resolutely set
the lamp down and removed the up
per part of the coffin lid. His face APP
peared to her suddenly and so fright
fully near. He was old now-like her
self; his face was pinched by the
reckless years, and his long mustache
was gray, but he was Henry Brewster,
the same who had broken her heart
in her young womanhood. She
stopped to put the cover on the floor,
then rose quickly and STOOD gazing
on the motionless features. Sudden
~ she turned as though struck with
an unbearable horror and went out
of the room. Her eyes were dilated
and her face was more deathlike in
its frozen pallor than the face of the
man in the coffin.
Pennington Brush went to his room
about -. He had blown out his
light and removed his coat when he
heard cry or call. He listened, and
imagined he heard a woman's voice
calling his name. He hurried out of
doors and sped swiftly up the path
towards Mrs. Brewster's. He stepped
lightly upon the porch, determined
not to brighten her by knocking, if
it had been but a trick of his mag
nation, she asleep and everything
quiet within. He peeped cautiously
through the parlor window, and the
sight which met his gaze froze the
blood in his veins. Rose Brewster
sat in the middle of the room, point
ing a pistol at the man who was sit
ting bolt upright. in his coffin. As
Brush gazed, almost doubling his
senses, Rose called with all her might
and main:
Pennington, Pennington Brush!"
The window went in with a crash,
the broken glass falling upon the car
pet in showers. The coffin was upset,
and the supposed dead man lay I'M
conscious from q blow planted hearth.

WHEN JERSEY WAS HUNGRY.
One Period During Which the People
Could Not Get Enough
to Eat

There is on record in the annals of
the state of New Jersey a season when
the people actually suffered for want
of food. 1t was in the autumn of 1857,
when the failure OF crops caused a
famine that prevailed all over the
state and afflicted the people of CEN
trail and southern New Jersey sorely.
They We're driven to eating roots and
nuts. The Indians were disposed to
be kindly to the people and gave them
much assistance and taught them how
to make the best of the natural re-
sources of the country. They showed
them how to gather and prepare the
oysters and the CLAIMS and make the
strange potpourri that this generation
knows as clam chowder. They taught
them the planking of all kinds of fish
(shad were not then obtainable) The
Indians were short of maize and in
the same predicament, but they being
native to the forest were more re-
sourceful. Conditions were better in
the upper part of the state, because
there was more direct trading.
There are no records to show that
anybody actually persisted during the
period of the famine. The facts of the
terrible condition in the Jersey col
ony reached the sympathetic pilgrims
and puritans, and early in the spring,
Just as many, worn by the hardships
of winter, were despairing, ship
load of cereals and preserved meats
came up the Delaware river, and it's
cargo was generously distributed. A
general Thanksgiving followed. The
crops of the following summer were
unusually good, and it was never re-
corded again in history that New Jer-
sey had gone hungry.

Mexican salad.

Chop or grind dozen waInuts very
fine. Cut into slices four good-size
bananas, and separate well the leaves
of small head of fresh lettuce. Pre-
pare mayonnaise dressing as for any
salad. Garnish a dish with lettuce
leaves. Into the mayonnaise dressing
mix thoroughly the chopped walnuts,
and put this over two sliced bananas
with little lettuce which has been
broken into bits. Mix thoroughly
again, and serve with couple of let
tuce leaves to each plate, and give a
smart sprinkle of red pepper for color
and tone.-Bos1on Globe.

CinematoErap1 for the Blind.

One of the European novelties re-
ported to the state department is the
cinematograph for the blind This
machine passes under the fingers of
the blind series of reliefs represent
ing the same object in different po-
itions-the branch of a tree, bird,
or any other object. The blind per-
son has the illusion of moving scenes
just as photographs passing over a
luminous screen lend the illusion to
those with sight. DIR. Dussaud, the
discoverer, has also arranged an cleo
trio vibra ton for the use of the deaf
who are incurable. This gives them
q notion of musical rhythm.
