It's bad plan to buy a thing just

The comparatively rare instances in
which the motions of plants, such as
the opening Of buds into blossoms, oc-
cur with sufficient raDidity to be OBJ
served during single brief period of
watching, always cause much pleas
ure to the onlooker. Mrs. Henry
Cooper Eggar in her description of an
Indian garden, tells of species Of
lily, Crinum augustum, which opens
with uncommon swiftnesS, so that she
thinks it would be an admirable sub

Bronze or metallic powders are pro-

The melted metal or alloy is run

The ancestors of the horse were
accustomed to roam over the plains,
where every tuft of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting to
spring upon them. Under these cir
cumstances they must often have
saved their lives by starting quickly
back or jumping to one side when
they came without warning upon
some strange object. This is habit
which has not left the animal, even
after long years Of domestication. On
the other hand, the donkey is descend

the hills, where there were precipices

these conditions resulted his slowness

Chcstnuts suffer more from the raw

kind of nuts. Buttcrnuts, walnuts and
almonds are comparatively immune.
The reason why worms are so often
found i'll apparently perfect chestnuts

ket is thus explained: The larvae of
the chestnut weevil develop with the
nuts, but they are not all Of the same
age. Those which first reach matur-
ity bore their way out, and enter tho
| ground about the time that the nuts
fall; but others remain for several
weeks i'll the nuts after they have
been gathered, and these are the ones
that furnish Il disa g"ecablc surprise

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS

OF all organized efforts for chart
table work in OcaIa, the Kings
Daughters, under the able leadership
of Mrs. ". c. Lindsay. have done
probably more for the poor of the city
than any other. The chapter now
numbers Il earnest women. who love
humanity. They hold two meetings
every month ana nave various branch
es of work.
During the PAST year. from January.
1905. TO January, 1905. nineteen fam

groceries, some for several successive
months. Medicine has been furnished
the sick. and large supplies of clothing
given to those in need.
Twenty-One baskets. well filed. were
distributed at Christmas. besides gifts
Of fruit to the less needy AS many
as one hundred visits were made the
sick. and some rescue work done.
The Marion county hospital receiv
ed from the Kings Daughters during
the year a gift of $50 in money, and
has a warm place in the heart Of ev-
cry member.
At the first meeting in January,
1906. an appropriation of SO was
made. to be used in buying three
dainty china tea sets and walters. for
serving the food to the sick in the hos
pital.
A Kings Daughter is appointed each
month to visit the institution, and in
this way they are kept in close touch
with it.
Good literature has been donated by
the different members. and given to
the inmates Of the Marion county
farm, Jail. hospital, fire boys. and to
some departments of the public school.

ESoP'S LAST FABLE

During the uncivil war a valuable
dog. the pet canine of a rich man,
charged on an Irishman. who was do
ing sentry go. The Hibernian prompt
ly bayOneted the pup. which was cor
rect under the rules of war. But the
dogs owner, who was a man of in
fiuence. made a roar, saying his dog
was six parts bluff and four parts
lamb; that he was only playing with
the sentry, who should be shot and
logged, or at least locked his weeks
wages. The commanding officer
knowing the soldier was justifiable
was nevertheless moved by the rich
mans influence to administer a mild
rebuke.
Why didn't you take the butt end
Of your gun to him." he inquired.
Sure, sorr," said the Irishman, cit
was his biting end. and not his butt
end, that he took to me-"
MOral-There is just as much hy-
drophObia in the bite of a dog with
tag on as in that of a canine that
boasts no such decoration. Muzzle
them or shoot them. One child's life
is worth more than all the dogs in
town.

THE MOST POPULAR DRUG
(New York Press.)

What is the most popular drug?"
asked customer in a Broadway phar-
macy the other day.
"Quinine." replied the clerk. 1T is
consumed in larger quantities than
anything else. People devour ii like
candy from New York to Pekin. Ev-
erybOdy takes a little now and then,
while the inhabitants of the malaria
belt. the traveller and the fiend use it
in carload lots. The fiend, who carries
a pOcketful of jag pills, may be re-
cOgnized by his sallow, fiush-spOtted
cheek. poor eyesight and tendency to
deafness. He considers it the most
respectable form Of inebriety or, per-
haps, does not even realize that he is

league of American quinine fiends
prevented a revolution in South
America, fearing that it might cut off
their supply of the drug.
"Quinine is obtained from the bark
Of several species of the chinchona
tree. whose native home is in South
America. Attempts have been made
in the past and are being revived to
grow the tree in bur sub-tropical
states; but the present supply is i'm
ported mainly from India, Ceylon and
Jave. AS with coffee and tea, the
worlds quinine industry has been
shifted from the native habitat, for
the original wild plantations of South

market"
