The Cardinals "Conffdence" Conc.

The story of the eyclist who found over the door of a Cheshire church the cheerful text, This is the gate of heayen' '' with the modifying post script, "This door is closed in the winter months" recalls to The Tablet another incongruity of a rather simi
 lar kind. Cardinal Manning went one day to his publishers for copy of book of his own -"Confdence in God. The order was shouted down to the stockroom, when came the reply, "Manning's Confidence in God all gone" The cardinal heard and smil- ed. It happened that he was just then in very pessimistic mood, owing to the apathy, as he thought it of his clergy about an agitation (of Mr Stead's) , which he sympathi1ea and they did not. The cardinal tocl the reply as an intended lesson, and he left Orchard street wiser and a happier man.-London Chronicle.

VEGETABLE LAMB.
Fern in China Resembles & Young sheep

Fern In China Resembles Young Sheep
 Browsing.
 There is a wonderful species of fern that grows in China called the tara rian lamb Under this name it was first described by Sir Hans Sloane, who not unjustly claimed that it much re- sembled that four-footed bit of gentle hess. In fact, the plant does illustrate a most peculiar form of vegetable growth. The underground root is thick and decumbent, while the great stem is pushed horizontally out of the ground by four inferior b Inches of this root, which answer, of course, to the lambs four legs. Besides holding inc same position as the body of the lamb the stem is covered densely with 9 soft and pale yellowish wool. Toward the end, which would answer to the neck of the lamb, tais stem is declined as though the creature were browsing. Tn China there is rather an uncanny continent associated with the tartarian 1omb as it is there believed to destroy all other plants within it's vicinity, but fin India, Where loi niaAy years It nae been planted, it is held very highly in esteem. Tn re It's thick down is called "the golden moss." and native doctors travel miles that they may gather it to use incidentally for the stopping of hemorrhages. In such dread do those who know it stand of it's becoming ex- tinct that more than ordinary in ducement and promise of good faith is necessary before they will reveal the spot where it grows.

X-RAY EXHIBITIONS.

DR.. Edwin Gladmon announces
that during the remainder of this
month, he will occasionally give
free exhibitions OF the work Of the
X-ras apparatus now in use at the
Southern Pines Sanitarium, which
is said to be one of the very finest
and most powerful made. BY
means of this wonderful ray it is
possible to see with the naked eye,
the bones of the hand, the arms,
the jaw bones, the beating Of the
heart, etc.
The surgeons who attended Ere
sident Mckinley when he was shot
at Buffalo last week had to send to
New York city for an x-ray ap-
paratus to locate the bullets in the
Presidents body. 1t is rather sur
prising that the Southern Pines
Sanitarium should be better
equipped than Buffalo hospitals,
but this incident would indicate
that such was the case.
