A Musical Plant.

In Nubia there is a strange plant
called 'isofar." When the wind blows
1t sends forth musical sounds closely
resembling those of the flute. The
natives, who are ignorant, superst1-
tious people, regard the plant with
dread. There is no reason for this,
for the plant gives forth it's unusual
sounds because of certain thorns at
its base. These are pierced with tiny
holes by insects who search for the
gum in the plant.

Her Occupation.

A young English farmer wishing
to have his banns published, went to
see the parish clergyman. The rev.
erend gentleman asked him several
questions, all of which he was able
to answer with the exception OF one.
"Is your intended a spinster?" the
clergyman asked. He paused in
thought. Then he replied: mo, BIZ;
she's q dressmaker." e

Kerosene for Cleaning.

when washing woodwork, if kero-
sene is put in the water instead of
soap, fly spechs and grease will come
off quicker and easier. A good quail
ity of kerosene cleans windows and
mirrors best, but poor quality, or oil
with dregs in it, leaves the glass
streaked. Soap must not be used with
kerosene for glass.

who had not long been married. was
1ondly greeted by his wife n evening
with the joyful announcement that she
had that afternoon received a diploma
from the cooking school at which she
had been an assiduous student.

young Wife said in a disappointed tone.

AS she spoke the husband had en-
eayored to masticate a particularly
tough piece of the contents Of the dist,
