"The Filipinos have never been dis.

in which they find their advance along
this path to be impeded by an irresis

opens to them another course, pre-.

The Caricature Plant.

One OF the most remarkable plants
in the whole vegetable kingdom is
that known to botanists as Justicia
Picta, which has also been we'll named
1.-THE Caricature Plant"
At first sight, it appears to be a
a heavy, large-leafed plant, with pur-
pie blossoms, chiefly remarkable for
the light yellow centers of its dark
green leaves, which cause them to
look as if some acid had been spilled
npon them and taken the color out
wherever it had touched.
AS l stood looking at this odd plant
and thinking what sickly blighted
appearance the queer, yellow stains
gave it, l was suddenly impressed with
the fact that the plant was making
faces" at me. Still unaccustomed as
l was to seeing plants indulge in this
strictly human amusement, l was
slow to believe it, and stopped to read
that somewhat illegible inscription on
the card below the plant" Justicia
Picta, or Caricature Plant" My first
impression was correct then. This
curious shrub had indeed occupied it.

topmost leaf down, with the queerest

to caricaturing. The fresh colored
profiles stood out in strong relief
against the dark green of the leaves.

filled the chemist would come around,
turn a certain amount of acid into
each tank and wait. Presently the
fat which had been used in the soap
would begin to separate and rise to
the surface, and when it was all float

water away from beneath and carted
the product to factory of his own.
Here it was melted, and with very lit.
tie trouble made over into lubricating
oil for the very machinery that had
been the cause OF wasting it in the
first place. 1t was so excellent a
quality of oil that machinists came to
prefer it to all others, and the French
chemist soon had an enviable fortune
as his reward for robbing the hungry
sea of tons of valuable products that
should never have been allowed to run
into it.

WHEN THE EARTH CUVEREO.
Exciting SC,rt at a Camp Meeting During th1
Charlie Ston Earthquake.


There l. something very uncauny
about the earthquake shock" said a
gentleman the other day who had
been speaking OF the recent land dis
turbances in Tennessee, and The terror
caused by them.
The sensation" he continued,

Illustrated at the time Charleston was
wrecked. That earthquake shock was
perceptible throughout Georgia, being
especially noticeable in the middle of
the State.
The night of the earthquake there
was Methodist camp-meeting in
progress at Bluff Springs, near Zebu-
lon. There was n great crowd at the
meeting, and the people didn't seem
to be in a very religious frame of
mind TO me. The preacher delivered
an eloquent sermon on death and the
Judgment, and at its close people were
invited to the altar. But the people
didn't take kindly to the invitation,
and only three or four went up to be
prayed for. The minister begged the
people to come forward, but his APP
peals fell on deaf ears Back some
distance from the stand the young
people were chatting as uncOncernedly
as if the issues OF time and eternity
had not been presented to them.
The minister seemed to be dis
couraged by the GOODNESS OF his hear
ers, and was on the point of closing
the service. But just as he was about
to say let us pray the first slight
shock was felt. In an instant every
body under that stand became as still
as death itself. Faces blanched and
eyes were opened wide in terror. No
one at first seemed to realize what had
caused the earth to rock as if in a
spasm. With the coming OF the next
shock, however, some realized what it
meant, and the Cry of earthquake was
heard.
Hardly had the dread word been
uttered when there was rush for the
mourners' bench. never saw such a
stampede in my life. In less time
than it takes 10 write the altar, was
surrounded by hundreds who were
dazed by terror and crying on the
Lori for mercy. A third shock came
while those frightened people were at
the altar, and it came near throwing
s,me OF them into commissions.
"The minister was the only one
who seemed not to be frightened, and
ne began praying in tones that had
quoting effect on the people. But it
was hours before calm was restored
and fear banished. The quivering of
the earth had something so uncanny
about it that the people were ready to
believe that the end of time was at
hand.
81 shall never forget that scene OF
1000 persons who had been deaf to
the appeals of the preacher, fleeing in
terror to the altar when they felt the
earth begin to rock"

examine into offers of cfree medical

colt. by knight of Eilerslie- Lizzie Pick
wick, who had been tipped by some to
carry off the prize, did not fall far
short of the general prediction. He got
off fairly well, but was pocketed for
part of ti1e-sway. In the final run
home he did so much gaining that he
was but length behind the two lead
ers and had Sidney Lucas beaten off
by three lengths. But what of the
favorite William c. Whitney's Star
Bright. by Aintree- Spaldiemore, with
Tommy Burns upon him and an impost
of Ill pounds? 1t had appeared to the

would be invinclble. Star Bright was
favorite at to /, though later his price
was generally raised half point. Yet
with the fall Of the flag Star Bright was
never dangerous. He never showed in
the front of the field and ran most
disappointingly In the dusty ruck,
where he finished in seventh place.
Then ii was explained that Star Bright
was simply run off his feet and was
not equal TO the task, which was un-
ioubtedly true.

such as August Belmont's Brlgadier,
knight of Rhodes, Ogden, Motley,

porters by running behind in the usual

The start considering the size of the
field, was excellent, and the winners
time was 142, which was not so fast
as the sharps had been led to believe
the race would be run in. When the
race was over there was not a word
of complaint from any Of the Jockeys.

and then the tip was circulated that
there would be no trouble and that the
matter would be held in allegiance FOR
the present. 1t was nevertheless fact
that several Central Office detectives
were on the ground, armed with thirty
six warrants, II is said, for the arrest
of prominent members OF the Metropol-

II was expected that the arrests would
be made. but such did not prove to be
