"sitY and "set.y

Some one who believes in teaching
by example has concocted a lesson in
the use of two little words which have
been a source of modification and
trouble to many well meaning persons.
A man or woman either can set a
hen, although they cannot sit her; nei-
Their can they set on her, although the
hen might sit on them by the hour If
they would allow it.
A man cannot set on the wash
bench, but he could set the basin on it,
and neither the basin nor the gram
marians would object.
He could sit on the dogs tail If the
dog were willing or he might set his
foot on it. But if he should set on the
aforesaid tail or sit his foot there the
grammarians as well as the dog
would howl, metaphorically at least.
And yet the man might set the tail
aside and then sit down and be as
sailed neither by the dog nor by the
grammarians.

Largest plant In the World.

''The largest plant in the world" said
an eminent naturalist to the writer the
other day, sis probably gigantic sea-
weed. known as the 'nereocytis,' which
frequently grows to height of more than
300 feet. The stem of the plant is as
strong as an ordinary rope, and large
quantities of it are dried and used as
rope by the inhabitants of the south sea
islands, where the curious vegetable ropes
are found. This seaweed usually grows
to depth of from 200 to 300 feet.
"As soon as the plant takes root a
spear shaped balloon is formed, which
grows with the stem toward the surface
of the center. This balloon frequently
has a diameter of six feet or more. 1t
has, of course, an upward tendency and
therefore keeps the stem growing until It
floats on the top of the water. This enor-
nous weed grows in such quantities that
large meadowlike islands are formed,
which are often so big as to impede nav
igation. The ropes made from the stems
of the plant are used for building pur-
poses, and the balloons when dried make
very seryiceable vessels. "-Washington

A Change I'm New York.

Women visitors to New York will be
happy to learn that after theater hours
or at any other time in the evening. in
fact, they can nowadays go to hotel
restaurant or any other restaurant and
be served without having male es-
cort Not long ago no woman, indeed
no two women, unescorted by man
could in the evening find first class
restaurant where they would be per-
mitted to dine. The Waldorf-Astoria
was the originator of the new state of
affairs. In the best hotels now women
and girls sit about in the large assem-
bly, rooms, read their newspapers,
write their letters at the many little
desks or chat with one another with an
ease of manner unknown few years
ago. Formerly woman felt uncom-
Portable and was stared at If she ap.
peared in the office at hotel. But all
this has changed.

Not Worry, but sIumber.

They were discussing suicides and
the proneness of different peoples to
depart in that way when one of those
engaged in the conversation turned to
colored man and asked, "Why is it
that so few of your people take their
own lives?"
After scratching his head moment
the person addressed responded, "Well,
I tell you, boss; when niger sits
down he don't worry, but goes to
sleep."-New York Times.

WHERE MY TREASURE IS.

Lord Of the living, when my race is run,
Will that pass beneath the risen sun;
Suffer my sight to dim upon some scene
OF thy good green.
Let my last pillow be the earth love,
With fair infnity Of blue above.
And heeting, purple shadow OF cloud
Ny only shroud.
A little lark above the morning star,
Shall shrill the tidings Of my end afar;
The muiiied music OF lone sheep bell
Shall be my knell.
And where stone heroes trod the moor Of old,
Where bygone wolf howled round a granite fold
Hide thou, beneath the heaiheE's newborn light,
Ny endless night.

Whenever the United States supreme
court, on hearing the argument of
counsel for plaintiff in error, is entirely
satisfied that he has no case. the chief
Justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
PENDANT in error TINT the court does not
care to hear further argument. At one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from
Wisconsin was counsel for plaintiff in
error and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satisfied
that there was nothing in 1t, and SO
when he had concluded and counsel
for defendant in error arose Chief JUS
t!ce Waite said, 1.-The court does not
care to hear any further argument"
Counsel was little deaf and, al
though noticing that the chief Justice
spoke, did not hear what he had said
and, turning to Mr.. Carpenter, who
sat beside him. asked what had been
said.
"oh, hang it" replied Carpenter in
tones audible to the bench. THE chief
Justice said he would rather give you
the case than hear you talk."-Youth's
