Calvary Clover.

Calvary clover, a flower strangely
symbolic of the principles of Christi
anity, flourishes in Palestine. Calvary
clover leaves, like those of other clo-
vers, are trefoil, embodying the doc
trine of the Trinity. the central truth
of Christianity. Soon after the plant
begins to appear above the ground a
deep spot of redlike blood appears up
on each division of the leaf, but this
disappears after few weeks.
During the day the tiny leaflets form
themselves into the shape of a cross,
and as the sun sinks to rest the leaves
again fold together. it has been sug-
gested, as If in prayer. In due time the
blossom becomes a small yellow flow
er and then a spiral pod covered with
thOrns. In ripening the flowers inter
lace, and in their peculiar positions
many persons think they can detect
the outline. of a crown. Tradition says
that it is good fortune to plant the
seed Of the Calvary clover on Good
Friday.

SKY SCRAPERS DOOMED

ST. Louis, sept. 22.-Sky scraping
buildings are doomed, according to the
prophecy of Professor Lewis Wuarin,
of the University of Geneva, who de-
livered an address on THE Future
City" in the Urban Community Sec
tlonal Meeting at to-day's session OF
the Internatioal Congress of Arts and
Science.
Professor Wuarin maintained that
the individual should be subservient
to the community, and declared that
from a sanitary consideration high
buildings were detrimental to publ C
health and would therefore ultimately
disappear from the topography of the
future cities. He asserted that al
though property value would be cur
tailed the increase in the value of
property on the outskirts of the cities
would compensate for other restric-
ii ons.

A TALKING TREE IN
MCCRACKEN COUNTY.

Out on the farm of Will Albert near
Heath, this county, the people of
that section are yet wrought up over
the talking tree" that has been
there for some time, says the Paducah
lIews Democrat. Enormous crowds
continue to congregate there almost
every Sunday to hear the strange
noises that emanate from the tree.
The voice can be distinctly heard and
says "there are treasures buried at my
roots.
For time many of the curious
thinking people mentioned such a
thing with disgust, but as the strange
noises can be heard the people are
now convinced that il is true
a party consisting of the most relia-
BILE citizens Of the country visited the
tree not long since to make thorough
investigation for themselves as TO the
noises being heard. They listened
patiently for several hours and were
preparing to leave for home when a
sudden crash which has been given
m any times before the marvellous pro-
duction of human voice, came
The mystery yet remains unsolved,
and so great has the number of people
been who have gone there in the past
several months that the tree is now
dead, caused bv the continuous tram
ping on the earth surrounding the
tree.
The only theory that has been sug-
gested is that man was killed under
the tree in 1869, and while many do
not believe in spirits, the facts
are so plai n and the voice can be so
distinctly heard that they cannot
dispute the fact. A family of people
who lived there many years ago be-
C anne so frightened from the voice
they sold their farms at sacrifice
and went West and are now living n
Texas.

odd Australian Animals.

Australia produces those lowest OF
the quadrupeds, the duck billed water
mole and the echidna, or Australian
pOrcupine ant eater. They, along with
the kangarOos, may be described as
the groundlings of the mammalian
family, for in respect of their struc-
ture they are of a much lower grade
than. say, dog or a cat This inferi-
GRITTY is seen not only in the brain, but
in many other details of their bodily
anatomy.
In geological circles the prevalent
opinion is that this mole is a link be
tween birds on the one hand and nam
mails on the other. These lowest
quadrupeds lay eggs like birds, the
young being subsequently Matched
from the eggs. whereas in the kanga-
roos and all higher mammals the
young are born alive and nourished by
means of milk.

spencer's Love Affair.

Herbert Spencer never married

something like a tender affair, and he
tells about it in his autobiography
The young lady's affections had al
ready been placed elsewhere, and she
was only playing with the budding
philosopher. One day her young
man" called, and they all went out for
a walk. Spencer says: "She. taking
his arm, looked over her shoulder
smilingly and rather mischievously to
there being an evident suspicion that
| should not be pleased. The revela-
ton was not agreeable to me, but still
it did not give me shock of a serious
kind"

Killing a Robin.

There are persons at the present day
and not all old women either-who
believe that killing a robin will bring
bad luck. According to ancient belief
the stormcloud was a huge bird. The
Arabians represented his wings as
measuring 10000 fathoms. This bird
lived on worms, the latter being the
streaks of lightning accompanying
storms. The Germans remodeled the
fiction by creating the god Thor. whose
bird was the robin. Consequently to
kill robin first meant death by light
ming, then bad luck.
