A Wonderful Sensitive Plant.


An incident related by the author OF
'The Pearl Of India" In his description
Of the fora Of Ceylon is almost IN
canny, although we are assured that 1t
Is true. It Is about the mimosa, or
sensitive plant, and makes one almoss
wonder whether the plant has intelli-
gence. The doctor, one Of the charac-
ters Of the book, while sitting with the
family on the broad piazza which form
ed the front of the bungalow of
coffee plantation recognized thrifty
sensitive plant, and 1t was made the
subject Of remark. He called his
young daughter Of eleven years from
the house.
Lena" sSid he, "go and kiss the NIL
mosa."
The child did so, laughing gleefully,
and came away. The plant gave no tok-
en- Of shrinking from contact with the
pretty child
Now" said the host, will you touch
the plant?"
Rising to do so, he approached it
with one hand extended, and before it
had come fairly in contact the nearest
spray and leaves wilted yisibly.
The plant knows the child" said
the doctor, "but you are stranger"

The African Ostrich.

The African ostrich, from which the
best white feathers are obtained,
stands SIX or seven feet high and
weighs from so to 100 pounds. Its egg
is equal to about two dozen hens eggs.
Its feathers sell in Africa for about
$500 q pound at wholesale While
walking quietly its step is about TWEEN
ty-six inches, but when frightened the
stride increases to about twelve reef,
and at this gait 1t can run something
like twenty-five miles an hour. When
pursued it sometimes turns and deals
the pursuer blow with the foot that
makes him think Of the kick OF a mule.
The African ostrich is the largest bird
now existing on earth. The American
ostrich Is only about half the size OF
the African and has three toes. while
the African bird has only two. The
plumage Of the American ostrich Is
gray.

Fishes That Cannot Swim.

Fishes Ihat Cannon 5"1m.
More than one species Of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most sin
gular Of which perhaps is the maltha,
a Brazilian fish, whose organs Of loco
motion only enable 1t to crawl or walk
or hop after the manner Of toad, to
which animal this fish to some extent
bears resemblance, and 1t is provided
with long upturned snout. The ante
rior (pectoraD fms Of the maltha, which
are quite small, are not capable Of act
ing on the water. but can only move
backward and forward, having truly
the form Of thin paws. Both these and
the veatra1 and anal fms are very diff
ferent from the similar fms In other
fishes and could not serve for swim
ming at all. Other examples Of non
swimming fishes include the sea horse,
another most peculiarly shaped inhab-
liant Of the sea, which resembles the
knight in set Of chessmen, and the
starfsh, Of which there are many spec
linens, which mostly walk and crawl
on the shore or rocks, both being un-
able to swim.

"Make Hay While the Sun Shines. /"

There is lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but a day and
he prepares for the showers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be with
every household. Dysentery, diarrhoea
and cholera morbus may attack some
member of the home without warning.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy, which is the best
known medicine for these diseases,
should alwoYs be kept at hand, as i'm
mediate treatment is necessary, and de-
lay may prove fatal. For sale by The
Arant Co. Drug Store.

permits the Immediate interests
of the moment to quite fill the
range Of vision. How can par
ents who have never looked
deeply into their own hearts ex-
plore the depths Of the child's
nature? How can the worship
of material things in the father
lead to the fear Of God in the
son?
This question of corporal pun
ishment roots itself in the far
more serious problem: What is
the true purpose of life? It is
the old conflict between light
and darkness in a new form.
Once enthrone the Christ in the
household as the ideal of char
acter and at once each finds his
proper place, parents ruling in
wisdom, frmness and love, chill
dren obeying in submissive de-
pendence and afectionate trust.
The child's weakness of will and
understanding are thus supple
mented in the most eficacious
manner.
There were two housekeepers
who were mothers. One kept a
fine front window display, pref
ty curtains and hanging plants
and knew nothing of neglected
vegetables decaying in the eel
lar nor of dust and rubbish in
the darkened K i Sch e n. Her
neighbor ordered light and air
in out-of-the-way places. person
ally inspecting Easements quite
as much as front windows, and
keeping health and cheer in the
home instead of sickness from
unsanitary conditions.
Substitute for ''house" the
heart of a boy and we have the
whole problem of discipline. The
mother who is too timid or indif-
erent to know what is passing in
the unsunned recesses of her
boys nature, caring only for ap-
pearances, need not wonder if
evil habits gradually accumu-
late and his life prove a curse
rather than blessing.
How different the brave,
thoughtful mother who loves
her child too well to close her
eyes to his defects, but wisely,
firmly seeks to remedy them.
She well knows that if tine core
of his being has been regener-
ated, the effect will be a bright
ened countenance and a sweet
ened temper.
Let US hear the conclusion of
the whole matter: The ques-
tion,I Is corporal punishment ever
permissible? gives rise to the
Infinitely more important prob
lem, Should a boys worse self
be subdued that his better self
may live?
You answer, Certainly; as
God lives and the soul lives" !"
Very well; to that noble con-
fession, only this need be added:
When the hour comes for con-
quering the boys will for God,
Keep close to the battle-line, and
be sure you come off vlctor!-

Summer Diarrhorea in Children.

During the hot weather of the sum-
mer months thefrst unnatural looseness
of a child's bowels should have immedi-
ate attention, so as to check the disease
before it becomes serious. All that is
necessary is a few doses of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Ciarrhoea
Remedy followed by dose OF castor oil
to clense the system. Rev. NJ. o. Stock
land, Pastor OF the first M. E. Church,

Unnecessary Expense.

Acute attacks of collie and diarrhoea
come on without warning and prompt
relief must be obtained. There is no
necessity of mourning the expense Of q
physician's service in such cases if
Chamberlain's Colo, Cholera and Di-

this remedy will relieve the patient be-
fore q doctor could arrive. 1t has never
been known to fail, even in the most
severe and dangerous cases and no

John e. Philips of Denver and j. K.
McKinnie, the wealthy Cripple Creek

less than a week ago and made their
purchase payment for the wondrously
rich Quo Vadis group of claims pur-
chased from Catlin, Anderson and
Vincent upon a basis that means
5000 900 for a property but lately dis
covered and with but slight develop

him with a corps of miners who are
thorough in their business to execute
the work of development and extract
the ore that has such sensational
values.
What are these miners doing, under
the intelligent direction of Mr.. Whit
ney? Why, they are sacking high
grade ore from the surface and driv-
ing a tunnel on the east vein all in
ore.
The Colorado magnates who were
shrewd enough to secure a good thing
when they saw II, departed for their
homes, after making their payment
and giving directions to their super
intendent and working force, in a
happy mood, feeling confident that
their purchase would mean a great
fortune for them and their support
ers. They have absolute faith in the
great matchmaking features of this
property. A failure is not on the
cards, for the stun is sticking right
out of the ground. and all they have
to do is to go to sacking ore and keep
on sacking it while they prosecute the
development of the hidden ore bodies,
and the hidden ore bodies are in the
ground. Nature in all its primary
mineral features and signs never ex-
celled this section in which the rich
exposed ore cropping of the Quo Va
