Meyerbeer was so nervous and "fdg-

hearsal or performance be never gave
himself or any one else concerned q

stantly making changes or alterations

effects and then could not make up his

The Hurnming Bird Flower.

Alletedo avasisis. the wonderful so
called 'humming bird flower Of the
plains Of eastern Turkey, stands unique
and alone among the many specimens
Of floral mimicry that have been classl-
fed By modern botanists. 1t is a beau
tiful blossom Of variegated hues, the to-
tai length Of the entire flower being
about one and three quarter inches. AS
one might imagine from its name, it is
an exact image Of miniature hum
ming bird. The breast is green, the
wings deep rose color, the throat gel
low and the head and beak almost pure
black. The only particular in which it
IS not a perfect bird is that the stem
gives it the appearance Of having but a
single leg and foot.

The Onion.

Onions are really sweeteners Of the
breath after the local effects have pass
ed away" says one learned doctor.
This statement is not in accordance with
our own experience; therefore we avoid
onions. We are still further Informed
By the same authority that onions cor
rect stomach disorders and carry of
the accumulated poisons Of the sys-
TEN. They provide blood purifier
that all may freely use. Eaten raw an
onion will often check q cold In the
head. One small onion eaten every
night before retiring is this we'll known
doctors prescription for numerous af-
fections Of the head and is highly rec
cmmepded for sleeplessness. Person
ally, we are never troubled with any
Of these complaints and therefore still
look upon this strange vegetable as
something to avoid.-Tegetarian.

The old feudal lords Of England were
the biggest hogs on earth. Their life
was made up Of the chase, gluttony
and drunkenness. The habit Of glut-
tony was handed down to them. 1t
came directly from Lucullus and his
im1tators There is no doubt that Lu-
crillus. held uD before Us as the table
saint, ate himself to death. 1t was not
only the quantity Of food be ate, but
It's quality as well. that pat SO mis-

many years ago that there wls q large
amount Of fudge about Lucullus. On
general principles he was. from a Gu
linary point OF view. q fraud. a single
supper at which Cicero and Pompey
were guests is said to have cost him
$1,000 dendri (about SS.50O). but he

Dynamite Whiskcrs.

The name "whiskers" IS applied to
feathery crystals which gather upon
the outside Of the wrapping Of frozen
dynamite. The "whiskers" are more
irritable" than dynamite itself. 4
case is on record where sticks Of dyna-
mite had been thawed out in hot wa
ter and the can Of hot water in which
it was done left in the blacksmith shop
without being emptded Of the residual
scum Of grease and whiskers. The first
blew Of the blacksmith's hammer on q
nearby anvil was sufficient to set of
the whiskers by conclusion. The can
was blown to pieces. but fortunately no
one was hurt.

Seeing Is Relieving.

A drastic and highly successful sur
gical illusion recently carried out by
French doctor has caused no end of
talk in Paris. A woman suffering from
nervous troubles was convinced that
the symptoms We're produced by liz
ard which she felt crawling about
in her stomach. She insisted that
she recalled perfectly having swal-
lowed the animal when young in
shaking her thirst at brook
After drugs and dieting had failed to
work any relief Dr. Richelot had an
idea. He remembered how the surgeon
Nelpeau treated peasant who thought
he had swallowed an adder. So he pro-
posed to his patient to deliver her Of
her unwelcome guest by a serious op-
Grafton and had her enter the Hopital
Cochin. Then the doctor secured a fine.
large living lizard. Having put the
woman under the influence Of ether. he
opened her stomach and immediately

consciousness he showed her the lizard.

Lsncnln "Reminiscences.

When in tie summer of 1864 the Lin
coins went to live in the cottage near
the Soldiers home outside Washington
the president was daily accompanied
on his drives to and from the White
House by his special mounted escort
of tall Ohioans. There was serious
need for such an escort. for Early was
not far away from the city. but the
daily journey sometimes had its play
full side. The Magazine of American
History" quotes this Renaissance by
Lieutenant AShmun of the escort: 1T
was in the early autumn of that year
when one morning on our ride in to the
White House Tad Lincoln. who
alone was riding with his father, de-
mandcd that the carriage be stopped
and that one of the escort should climb
a wayside tree and get him some per-

In forcing rhubarb in house cellar
during the winter the best results were
secured from roots grown but one sum-
mer In the open ground. Older roots
have proved less satisfactory. The
roots We're set out in spring Just as
soon as possible after frost was out of
the ground. They were dug in the late
fall in clumps and allowed to freeze
solid before putting in the cellar
Generally speaking, the roots begin
to produce edible shoots within five
weeks after they have been put into
the cellar and continue in bearing for
about five weeks. After the roots are
put in place on the floor of the cellar
or on specially made benches they are
thoroughly watered with warm water,
the soil being kept moist, but never
wet 1t is easy to water too much. An
overabundant supply of water results
In light colored stalks, which are lack.

Squirrels Are mHnnhr.n

The hardness of the squirrel is
something extraordinary in the animal
world. He sits up on his hind paws
and uses the fore paws in many ways
just as a man does. He strikes with

she had contrived little rack to be
nlled with nuts, so that they came to
the opening slngly, one dropping into
the place as another was taken out,
and this was fixed by her window so
that she could watch the squirrels
come. One day a squirrel took the
last nut and was quietly eating it ON
the window bench when another came
