Ve9etable Cateruillar.

Among the many strange growths,
apparently freaks Of nature, which are
to be found in New Zealand the vege-
table caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar is sew
eral inches in length. is hairless and
does not differ essentially in appear
'ance from some of the caterpillars Of
our own !s!nd.
Its claim to distinction lies in the fact
that when it gets ready to die it digs
hole for. itself in the earth and CON-
pletely buries itself. Later a slender
green shoot springs from the spot. This
bears two or more leaves near it's top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
of the dead caterpillar, and further in
vestigation develops the fact that the
body Of the caterpillar is filled with
roots.
The form is retained without change,
and the roots do not pierce through the
skin or enter the ground. When dug
up, this dead yet living freak presents
a most odd appearance, for the head
and even the eyes of the caterpillar are
distinctly seen. yet from the head is
growing the green sprout. with its
leaves.

Cards In the Curriculum.

The custom of encouraging our chill
dren to perfect themselves in card
games is by no means of modern
growth. There must have been a SUBJ
stra tum of truth in the following jest
ing paragraph, which is clipped from
The Times of Nov. 2. 1897: AT some Of
our first boarding schools the fair pu-
pills are now taught to play whist and
casino. Amongst their winning ways
this may not be the least agreeable to
papa and mamma. 1t is calculated that
clever child, by it's cards and it's nov
els. may pay for it's own education."-

Heartburn,

this one teaspoonful may be taken in a

blessed are they who can vomit, for
this is the only scientific and natural

The COtttnOner
(Mr. Bryan's Paper

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue
a circulation of 100, 900 copies, a rec
ord probably never equaled in the his
tory of American periodical literature.
The unparalleled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room in the
newspaper field for a national paper
devoted to the discussion of political,
economic and social problems. To
the columns of The Commoner Mr..
Bryan contributes his best efforts;
and his review Of political events as
they arise from time to time can not
fail to interest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular subscrip-
tion price is Sl.OO per year. We have
arranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the WILL
MAR TRIBUNE together for one year
for $I.7o. The regular subscription
price OF the two papers when subscribed
for separately is $500.

The Ingredients of FirewOrka.

The chief constituents of all fire.
works are gunpowder and it's ingredi.
ents. Iron and steel filings and cast iron
behring's, free from rust, are used to in
crease the brightness Of the display
and produce the Chinese fire. When the
rocket explodes up in the air, the bright
and varicolored sparks are produced by
these filings as they ignite in the oxy-
gen.
Copper filings and copper salts are
used to produce greenish tints. A fine
blue is made with zinc filings. A light
greenish tint with much smoke is made
out Of sulphuret of anthony. Amber,
resin and common salt protected from
dampness produce yellow fire. Salts
Of strontia make red light. A green

Hard to Tell Chinamansa Arc

How old Isl a Chinaman? Can you
give good guess? 1t is harder to tell
than the age of negro. The Chinaman
has no beard. and his hair is Of jet
and glossy blackness. which turns gray
only at an extreme age, when Cauca-
sian head would be either snow white
DR. bald. Then again the Chinese have
the most perfect nervous system of
any people in the world and do not
wrinkle up with age. They can stand
any amount Of opium smoking without
material injury that would send a
white man to his grave or an insane
asylum. So you have little to go by. A
Chinaman will look thirty when he is
twenty and when he is fifty. If you
ask him his age, he will place it at
least ten years ahead, for he holds old
age to be honorable. and among his
people he will be respected and looked
up to by all his Juniors. -Washingtor
