Popular interest in botany Will be
stimulated by the fact that a govern
ment expedition to northern Mexico has
brought to light an extraordinary
plant, which locally bears the name of
dry whisky, II Is a variety of cac-
tus that grows on the desert and in
rocky places. 1t gets its name from
the fact that when eaten it produces
beautiful jag. The large leaves are an
almost perfect imitation Of the rock on
which ii grows, looking for all the
world like the surface of sunbaked
ana sand-eroded stone 1t Will live for
years without water and the quickest
way to kill ii is by simply watering ii

Helen Keller's First Earnings.

There is pretty story in connection
with the series of articles which Helen
Keller, the wonderful blind girl, has writ
ten for The Ladies Home Journal, tell
ing about her own life from infancy to the
present day. She always has shrunk
from the publicity which follows success
full literary work, and it was. with great
difficulty that she was persuaded to take
up the task of preparing her autobiogra-
ply. She had, however, set her heart on
owning an island in Halifax harbor for a
summer home, and in spirit of fun the
editor of The Journal offered to buy it for
her, or to provide the means to buy it.
When the work of writing appeared es-
pecially irksome Miss Keller was remind
ed of her desire to become land-holder,
and it spurred her on. Just before Christ
mas she completed the first chapter of her
marvellous story; and on Christmas morn
ing she received from her publishers a
check for a good round sum. Her delight
may be imagined, for this was the first
money of any account which she had ever
earned. ''It is a fairy tale come true
she said. Whether she will really carry
out her plan to buy the island remains to
be seen

The Senate passed the re-districting
bill last Tuesday, after our editorial in re-
ference to it had been written. The Second
District is now composed of the counties
of Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Hamp-
ton, Aiken, Edgefeld, and Saluda. Sen
'ator Mayfeld endeavored to have Saluda
taken out of this district, but failed. The
bill will become law unless vetoed by
the governor, which he is not likely to do.
To say the least, the Second District is
not compact one in shape, and it appears
to Us that the bill makes little improve
ment in any Of the districts.

Light Without Sight.

We can perceive" light without the
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to
reach the sensorium and create a dis
turbance at that center Of the brain
where the optic nerve terminates, we
shall then see light and sparks. If,
moreover, the optic nerve is cut or mu-
tilated in any way, we should see a
brilliant fash Of light, though without
any sensation Of pain. And 50 it is
with the other nerves. The auditory
nerve has only to be excited, not nec-
essarily by sound, so as to reach it's
center, the brain, and we shall hear a
sound. How many ghosts might not
be destroyed in this way?-Chambers'

Why the Drum Was Silent.

Here is a delicious story of the war
times that has an unmistakable air of
freshness and human interest.
The torn and tattered remnant of con-
federate regiment one day toward the
close of the war was lined up by its col
onel and told that the commanding gen.
eral was to pay "yisit of inspection on
the following day. The soldiers were ad-
monished to ''do their prettiest."
"Just brace up as though your clothes
were bran new uniforms and as though
you had the best ON earth to eat and
plenty of it. We haven't any bugles left,
but Smith there has got drum, and it's a
plumb fine one-big as barrel Now,
Smith, when give you the word tomor-
row you let her go for all she is worth. -
Thus spoke the colonel.
The next day came the general to Gin
spect' the poor half-starved fighters and
as he appeared in the distance the colonel
gave the order to "line up" AS the COM
manding officer drew near the colonel
shouted: "Now, Smith, let her go!' and
turned to salute the general
But not note came from the big bar
rel drum.
The colonel, red in the face, turned to-
ward the drummer and again shouted his
or5ar ~for mnSic"
But still the drum remained as mute as
the harp of Tara Hall fame.
Infuriated at this open disobedience of
orders and in the presence of his COM
manding officer, too, the colonel rode
down the line, and as he reached the re-
fractory drummer, cried out:
'Say, Smith, what in-and-do you
mean by not beating that blankety blank
drum"
Il can't, colonel" whispered Smith,
ssThe old drum is full of chickens, and
half of 'em are for you"
The colonel paused but moment be-
fore he shouted so that the general and
the soldiers might hear:
cali right, Smith, but if you were too
sick to play the drum why in thunder
didn't you say so?"

whom the landlord thus reported: "Wait,

We can heartily commend the legisla-
lures action in one thing, and that is in
increasing the pension fund to 100000
The old soldiers are deserving of all the
aid the State can possibly afford. How
ever, the extravaganza of that body was,
to our mind, plainly shown in the appro-
priatioas to some of the colleges. We do
not object to State aid for higher educa-
tion, but we do object to spending so
much money on so few young men. We
greatly fear that the graduates of some OF
the colleges are not worth the money they
cost the State.
