Rapid Growing Fungus.

In "Recollections Of Happy Life"
Miss North describes many Of her
young enthusiasms and among others
that of collecting and painting English
fungi. On one outing, she says, came
upon fungus about the size Of a large
turkeys egg. Eager to see 1t develop,
took 1t up carefully and carried 10
home. I put 1t under a tumbler on
the window sill Of my bedroom at
night. At daylight I was awakened
by a horrible crash Of splintering
glass. Behold the tumbler had fallen
to the floor and broken to bits. The
fungus was standing FIVE inches tall,
having Matched itself free from its re-
stralning egglike she'll and in grow
ing had raised the tumbler and tilted
1t sidewse until 1t fell over and to the
floor. The fungus had horrible smell,
and soon a swarm of flies were hover.

THE MAHOGANY TREE.

1t Frequently Springs From the Crew
ices of Great Rocks.
The tree which produces that beau
tiful and well known wood, mahogany.
Is one of the most elegant, II not the
largest, Of the country In which 1t Is
found and frequently grows in the
crevices Of rocks. The appearance Of
80 large vegetable production in such
situation Is extremely curious and
picturesque and is to be accounted for
from the construction Of the seed,
which Is like that of the thistle,
winged. or capable Of being borne
along by the action Of the air and in
that manner deposited in holes and
assures In the rocks, where 1t speedily
vegetables and springs up. AS long as
the plant remains young the place In
which 1t Is found Is sufficiently large
for its growth, but as 1t increases in
size the roots gradually but irresistibly
force asunder tho walls OF their rocky
prisons and throN Of large portions Of
stone. IN
1t is not always, however, found in
these situations, the largest timber be-
Ing produced In some Of the fat and
marshy spots on the coast of America.
Such is the Honduras mahogany, which
Is much looser in texture and of less
value than that from the mountainous
districts of Cuba and Haiti. This last
kind is known in commerce as Spanish
mahogany and Is chiefly purchased for
the purpose of being cut into veneers.

Ability, Resources and Drawbacks Of

A man who had watched the affair
and claimed to know about hogs, razor

dissertation: Arkansas has greater
variety of hogs and less pork and lard
than any state In the Union. An aver
age hog in Arkansas weighs about
fourteen pounds when dressed with its
head on and about six pounds and a
half with it's head of. 1t can outrun q
greyhound, jump a rail fence, climb
like a parrot and live on grass, roots
and rabbit tracks. 1t hasn't much tail
or bristle, but plenty Of gall. 1t will

count Of its long, thin head. This type
Of razorback Is known as the stone hog
because its head Is so heavy and Its

Toey PERFORM WOnderfu1 Featn 03
Balancing and Juggling.
There is always an abundant supply
OF stories Of the expertness Of Hindoo
fugglers and acrObats. One who moves
about perched upon a single long stick
Is remarkably clever. This performer
Ia mounted on a bamboo pole about If
teen feet high, the top Of which is tied
to glrdle around his waist. A small
cushion is fastened few feet down
the pole, which acts as leg rest. The
acrobat hops around large space In
the llveliest way, uttering cheerful
shouts and accompanied by the tapping
Of curious drum. He also executes q
sort Of dance and goes through little
pantomime. 1t is marvellous feat Of
equilibrium. To walk on a pair Of
stills as high as this would be per-
Torrance worthy Of comment, but to
hop around on one Is quite another
thing.
The same man can do many other
wonderful things. He appears abso-
lutely perfect in the art of balancing.
He can balance very light stick on
his nose and heavy one ON his chin
and then throw the heavy one into
the air and catch 1t on the end Of the
light one. When balancing these two
sticks, end on end, he will make one
revolve in one direction and the other
the reverse. He puts one hand on a
dat, circular stone, throws his feet up
Into the air and balances stick on
each Of them. At the same time he |
revolves rapidly on the pivot formed by |
his arm and the stone.
