Annual plants are those that you
must SOW every year. From seed to
seed is only year or less. Annual
plants probably comprise half the
Towering plants of the world. They
quickly take advantage of the moving
seasons, grow, blossom and die before
they are caught by the blight of winter
or by the parchlng dry season. They
are shifty plants, now growing here
then abscondlng to other places. This
very uncertainty and capriciousness
make them worth the while. The
staid perennials l want for the main
and permanent effects In my garden,
but i could no more do without an
nuals than l could do without the
spices and the condiments Of the ta-
Bile. They are flowers of n season; 1
like the flowers of season.-Country

That body can acquire during the
night different temperature from
that of the surrounding atmosphere
has been demonstrated by an English
physicist. If thermometer is taken
from the window, wrapped In cotton
and placed on the ground Its mercury
will descend seven or eight degrees.
Vegetables similarly situated, and be-
Ing bad conductors, may freeze at a
time when the thermometer does not
mark the freezing point-proof that
the cold experienced by the plant may
be entirely different from the tempera-
ture of the surrounding mir. This low
temperature of plants, however, only
occurs when the night is clear, since
Mt this time the plant sheds Its heat
throughout space and becomes chilled.
whereas II the night is cloudy the
phenomenon does not occur. This
gives rise to the popular superstition
that plants and buds are frozen by
moonlight

Looking into the fire is very injurious

Deaf md Dumb Teachers.

81 suppose deaf and dumb asylum
Is the last place to which most persons
who wish to learn n language would
think of going" said the principal of
one Of those institutions. "Yet there
are several educated foreigners who
came here to take lessons In English
'The reason is that teacher in a
school for the deaf and dumb, having
to talk so her pupils can read her lips,
learns to enunciate clearly and distinct
ly and give each word Its true value
The foreigners say our teachers speak
so distinctly that they can acquire the
language in half the time they can

Curious Cas-. of Mind Reading.

A very curious case is related In the
Annales Psychlques. A child of seven
years, I'm good health, lively and robust,
belonging to equally healthy parents,
showed strange facility In learning
all that his mother taught him. He re-
cited the whole multiplication table at
the first trial, solved instantly compli-
Gated problems and made not single
mistake in his first spelling lesson. 1t
was soon realized that the child did not
calculate by himself and did not spell
Of his own accord. He was reading
his mothers mind. and he did this even
when his eyes were shut and his back
turned, provided only that she were
neie him. Ono day she had the idea
of lntcrposing screen between her
and the child, and there was no more
calculation. 10 more spelling. The
screen was sufficient to prevent the
child from reading the mothers
thoughts.

THE FIERY DRAGON.
Ancient ana Medieval DESCRIPTIONS
of the Monster.

Dragons were important animals In
ancient and medieval natural history.
Until comparatively recent time no
scientist ever thought of questioning
the existence of this most formidable
OF beasts. The annals Of Winchester
for t177 gravely state that 'in this year
dragons were seen of many In Eng
land" Gesner, professor of natural
history at Zurich, gives detailed de-
scriptIon of the dragon, while Aldro-
vandus, In his History OF Serpents
md Dragons" published In 1910. de-
votes fifty pages to the monster. A
good specimen of n dragon would seem
TO have been beast about the size of
n sheep. incased In n coat of scales
which shone like silver. Its back was
serratcd like saw. II possessed
long tail, n palr of bntiike wings, four
heavily clnwed feet and n wolvlne head.
the jaws of which were armed with
very formidable teeth. The tongue
was barbed with fire, and fury issued
from the monsters mouth, and the head
bore crest. Dragons were the most
wicked and vlndictive of creatures.
They seem always TO have been In
towering rage and spent the greater
portion of their time In rushing up and
down the earth destroying everything
that came In their path. The origin of
dragons was disputed point among
medieval naturallsts. Some maintain
ed that these animals were generated
by the heat of India; others were of
opinion that the volcanoes of Ethiopia
used to belch forth the monsters. One
scientist, John Leo by name, declared
the dragon to he hybrid, cross be-
tween an eagle and wolf.

HE CAUGHT THE HOUSE.
A Yell of Applause mt a Critical
Point In Play.


Edward IIarrigan once said that the
most trying moment Iii his theatrical
career occurred In New orleans soon
after the civil war. He had gone
south with his company and, yielding
somewhat to popular request, put on
"The Blue and the Gray" The play
had been n success up north. but down
south, with the air still full Of the bit
terness of the war, It was dangerous
experiment. Tony Hart was to repre-
sent the Confederate gray, so he hunt
ed up uniform of the Louisiana II
gers. and when he camce marching on,
young, stalwart handsome, the typical
soldier boy In the beloved uniform, the
house, men and womg1, cheered and
shouted and cried for vi their heroes
embodied In this boy. Harrigan. stand
ing In the wings In his northern blue,
waiting to go on, had just one thought
They'll kill mel' Then he stepped
out, the embodiment of the enemy, and
n cold, dead silence fell upon the house.
Not hand moved for him. The audi
ence was tense with emotion, and there
was only an instant to act II the play
was TO be saved. Harrigan, big kind
ly, good looking, came swiftly down
TO the front and stepped over the foot
light gutter, leaning down to them.
'For the love of heaven, won't you
give the Yankee hand?" he exclalm-
ed. At once the house was caught and
all the pent up feeling turned the right
way. There was yell of applause.

How the sculptor CeIini Wa. Cured.

Benvenuto Cellini, when about to
cast his famous statue of Perseus, now
In the Loggia del Lanzl at Florence,
was taken with n sudden fever. In
the midst Of his suffering one of his
workmen rushed into his sick chamber
and exclaimed: "Oh, Benvenutol Your
statue is spoiled, and there Is no hope
whatever of saving itp Celllni said
that when he heard this he gave n
howl and leaped from his bed. Dress
Ing hastily, he rushed to his furnace
and found his metal "caked" lie or
dered dry oak wood and fired the fur
mace flcrcely, working In rain that
was falling, stirred the channels and
saved his metal. He continues the
story thus: after all was over turn
ed TO plate of salad on bench there
and ate with hearty appetite and
drank together with the whole crew.
Afterward | retired to my bed, healthy
and happy, for 1t was two hours be-
fore morning, and slept as sweetly as
II had never felt touch of Illness"
His overpowering idea of saving his
statue not only drove the idea of i'll
ness from his mind, but also drove
away the physical condition and left
him well 1t was n triumph of mind.
