a ROCK THAT BLOOMS,
One OF the Rarest and Strangest Of
FlOwering Plants,

One OF the Rarest and StranRest of
F1owering Plants,
A botanical novelty Is being intro
duced in Washington under the name
Of THE Living Rock" Il is exploit
ed as the wonder of wonders In the
plant kingdom, natures living picture
of intricate carved stone work, and Its
appearance does not belle these strik-
Ing encomiums. 1t resembles, indeed,
nothing SO much as those carved con-
glomerations of different colored
stones to be seen in most collections
Of minerals. 1t is claimed, says the
Washington Post, that this strange
plant will live and bloom for years
without being planted or watered. It
is called by the Indians ''The Star
Rock" and DRY Whisky" the latter
name being bestowed upon 1t from the
fact that, when chewed, it produces
more or less intoxication.
'This rare and marvellous plant"
said the dealer, "is found on the top
of arid, barren, rocky limestone noun
tains, at great attitudes, in Mexico,
where it is too hot and dry in the
summer for other vegetation and too
cold In the winter for even animal life.
1t will live and thrive in all extremes
Of Temperature and does we'll in q
northern climate when all the native
plants perish from the cold.
1T retains sufficient moisture and
substance to furnish bloom for years
without bkang planted or watered, and
will blo3m i'm a trunk. room or Wher-
ever it may he.
The name, Living Rock has been
given it because of Its unique hardi-
ness; scarcely ANY kind Of neglect or
bad treatment will injure the plant,
unless it be too l1nuch water; at its
home rain does not fall, sometimes for
years. 1t blooms in September and
October, and has a very beautiful vari-
egated flower, imheaded in a white,
silky wool aureo1e. The lower part OF
the plant Is top-shaped, and the upper
part scarcely projects from the ground,
and is from two to four inches in
diameter when growing wl4o, but un-
der cultivation it Is double that size.
The plant Is very scarce and extremely
difficult to find"

Daniel Webster was never noted
for attention to detail in business mat

often taken advantage Of by unscru
pulous creditors, who gave no receipts
for paid bills simply because they
were not demanded. Webster was
well aware of this, but it seemed to
trouble him very little. On one occa'

seemed familiar and Webster asked

Yawning for health is advocated by
a German professor of gymnastics. He
maintains that deep yawning, prac-
deed as regular exercise, is the
cheapest and surest road to perfect
health. The expansion of the breast
bones and the stretching of the arms
which accompany a whole-hearted
yawn, together with the filling Of the
lungs, form splendid daily exercise.
To eat grape a minute for an hour

1t is no mere quack prescrip tion, but a
form of cure recognized Ibg many we'll
known physicians.
A physician advances the theory
that the, distressing sensation of nau.
sea has its seat in the brain, and not,
as Is. usually supposed, in the stomach;
that relief may be obtained by cooling
the base Of the brain. He claims to
have tested this often and thoroughly
In cases Of sick headache, bilious collie,
cholera morbus and other Ills in which
the nausea Is a distressing symptom,
without a single failure. He states
that he once relieved the nausea re-
sultng from cancer Of the stomach by
the application Of ice to the back Of
the neck and base of the skull. The
Ice SO used should be broken fine and
the bits placed between the folds of
towel. Relief may be obtained by
holding the head over a sink or tub
and pouring a small stream of water
on the neck.
For tonsilitis paint the throat with a
mixture made from tincture Of chlor-
lde Of iron, one dram; chlorate OF
potash, half dram; glycerine, up to
one ounce, mixed. Give fluid mag
nesia, or half a sehdHtz powder at the
beginning Of the attack If the fever
runs high and thus avert the dryness
which In all fevers is apt to cause cos
ttveness and high-colored scanty urine.
Let lemonade or fee water or cracked
ice be taken for thirst and pain in the
throat This may entirely prevent
laryngitis by soothing the throat and
preventing a cough. Flaxseed tea made
with whole seeds and favored with
lemon Is very useful also to sip during
the night to prevent cough. In short
time the ulcers appear and the fever
goes down. Tonic treatment is then
suitable. Wash the throat for two
weeks with iron every day and give
fruit or fruit juice, strong broth and
milk.

Story OF "Dean's" Kindness.

At the Drexel Institute one recent
afternoon a group of people recalled q
very charming incident in which the
recently deceased actor, Joe Jefferson
acted kindly part a few years ago.
says the Philadelphia Record.
President McAlister had introduced
Mr. Jefferson, who had made his ad-
dress to the students, and was about
to leave, when the doctor told him how
delighted a certain art stndent would
be If she could meet him This girl
was brought every day In her roller
chair and had been a shut1in up to
that time.
The veteran actor was delighted.
So was the girl
He talked, and talked well, and she
listened.
In the course OF the conversation hs
learned that not only had she never
seen him act, but: that she never had
been to a theater, and didn't think 1t
possible to go.
That was enough for Joe Jefferson.
1t was arranged in less time than 1t
takes to tell it to b ave her brought to
the stage door ten minutes before the
raising of the curtain that evening.
When she was brought to that door,
around which clings so much mystery,
she was met by RIP" himself in his
quaint makeup, just as he has been
received thousands Of times by ap-
plauding audiences.
= Throughout the performance the girl
in her roller chair remained charmed
listener at one side of the stage.

young Dane. who in spite of his years Is
no novice in Polar exploration, has arrived
In London for the purpose of maturing his
plans for a new expedition Of alaeovery in
the Arctic regions.
He does not propose to look for the
North pole. He thinks that this is being
rather overdone at present, and he doubts
whether any one will ever reach it with
the existing means of transit and COM
munication. He is Of the opinion, too. that
II the pole is reached nothing but water
will be found
The objects OF his expedition are to
ascertain whether there is land to the
north of Beaufort sea, to examine thor
oughly the shores OF the country already
known in the Arctic regions and to carry
out close Investigation of the habits,
methods of life and legends of the Eskimo
tribe at Cape Bathurst.
The other members of the expedition will
be Mr.. Ernest Leningwell, the American
geologist; Mr.. Ditevsen. Danish artist
history and folk lore.
Captain Mikhelam proposes to start from
Edmonton on the Saskatchewan early next
April and go down the Athbasca, Slave
and Mackenzie rivers to the ocean. He
will then make for Cape Bathurst and
thence to Banksland.
The search for the unknown land will
begin in March, 1907. and the expedition will

The Bee.)--The Corriere Della sera has
started a discussion. which is still echoing
and re-echong through the Italian and
continental newspapers regarding Italy and
the triple alliance. The Milan paper in
quired What would be the position of
Italy in the case Of confiict-almost daily
predicted-between Great Britain and Ger
many. which would probably result in a
European conflagration? What ought to be
or could be our line OF action? Where
would be our post?"
Recent circumstances and revelations
prove" says the Corriere. that there has
been an actual possibility OF this risk in
the past and that 1t has not been altogether
conjured away for the future. Also, that
there is reason to believe that France
would have Joined on the side Of Great
Britain and Great Britain on the side Of
France in conflict between either of them
and Germany" It is impossible then. it
thinks, not to presume that the questions
It asks itself have not already been put TO
the Italian government by the governments
of France and Great Britain.
The official answer may be supposed to
be that advanced by the Agenzia Italiana,
whose guarded evasion OF the main point
at issue surely reflects the ideas OF the
Italian ministry.
Italy is bound by political alliance OF
many years standing, which is stu far
from it's termination. This is the answer
to the Milanese Journal" says the Agenzia
Italiana. I'VE do not follow a double line
of policy. The Forts cabinet, which has
so often declared its desire to obey the
dictates OF the greatest loyalty. cannot be
suspected OF uncertainty, Of hesitation. or
what is worse, OF actual reluctance when
I It is a matter Of carrying out the compacts
of an alliance. Hence, the answer to the
question Of the Corriere is plain. The triple
alliance will be the guarantee of peace
and with its own influence and harmony

REDMOND ON HOME RULE
Irish Leader says Question is Passing
Through strange stage In
England.

DUBLIN. Nov. 1s-CSpeclsl Cablrsram to
The Bee)-Mr John Redmond. NJ. P, ad-
dressing a United Irish league meeting at
Loughrea i'm County Galway. said that Ire
land was united and determined TO remain
united. Serious amendments were required
to the land act to settle the irish land
question. The real land question was the
uneconomic holding and the grass lands,
and as TO that In the west the act had
been a failure. Compulsory powers we're
wanted to settle the question. Dublin castle
had issued regulations making It impossi-
BILE to work the important clauses of the
act, and Mr. wyndham. who had issued
those regulations before he left oiTice. in
the form of confidential letters, was re-
sponsible for that
Mr.. Redmond went on to say that the
home rule question was at that moment
passing through a strange and interesting
stage in England. They had recently been
told by several English politicians OF both
parties that the home rule question was
dead. or at least Of so little urgency and
importance that II could safely be put on
the shelf with lost causes and exploded
falacies. Strange II home rule was really
dead that these men were never tired of
speaking and writing about IL. Tho truth
was that home rule was again beginning
to loom once more larger and larger on
the political horizon. There were some
liberal politicians who believed or who pre-
tended to believe that the recent action OF
I the Irish parliamentary party In support
ing liberal candidates in English elections
whose declarations on homo rule were
| timid and doubtful, meant that the Irish
party were about to acquiesce in the shelv-
ing OF home rule.
He now respectfully told these gentlemen
that they were living in a fools paradise.
1t was the settled policy of the Irish party
at this moment to do everything they
could to discredit and weaken and defeat
, the present government, and TO hasten the
| date of a general election, but those who

TO The Bee.)-News has reached England
of a well known eastern traveller and
scientist who left in May. 1904. on an eS-
petition into Tibet This eeutleman re-
mained for some time in I.hasa. the capi-
tai of the country. where no learned much
that has happened since the departure OF
the British.
He discovered that Russian caravan
had arrived az Lhasa ana brought many
rich presents for the abtiots Of the nonas-
teries with a view ~ regafnlnk their po-
iitical influence which had d,sindied away
during the British oceinatioh OF Tibet
The Dalai Iama. v,hS dcd from Lhasa
on the approach OF the Briflsh. went into
the Kokonor district ana remained there,
unable to make up his mind as to whether
he should seek protection IN Russian or
Chinese territory. ITS hesitation was due
to the news OF the Russian defeats at the
hands of the Japanese IN September 1904,
and he decided to write to tho emperor OF
China to ask n II were truo that Russia,
his great friend. had been overthrown by
the Japanese
He received reply TO the effect that it
was so and that Russia would not trouble
Tibet any more. The Dalai Lama then
moved to Urga. where ne received orders
from the Chinese to 60 TO Peking and have
an audience with the emperor before re-
turning TO Lhasa
Although the majority Of the citizens OF
Lhssa are longing Tor the return Of their
ruler the great high priests and abbots i'm
the Potals palace and monasteries are not
in favor OF the return of the Dalai Lana
because they see in this the final downfall
Of Russian influences and that their ruler
has returned to favor with the Chinese
emperor and that the days of rich gifts
and money from the Russian government
are ended. AS a matter of fact they pre-
dict an outbreak Of hostilities when the
Dalai Lama returns
The Dalai Lama has been Informed Of
all that has happened In the country and
in Lhasa during his absence and in con,
sequence is afraid TO return just yet. Ir
fact. taking into consideration that he will
certainly not venture to move during the
winter. the winters being very severe, he
