TREES THAT ARE A MYSTERY.
One Vegetable Freak and the Other
Greedy Monopoist.

California has one tree which is the
personification of mystery. Found no
where else in the world, it had a mys-
ferrous origin and thrives in a region
of mystery
The Mojava yucca is a vegetable
freak which has developed into spe-
cies. 1t has the characteristics of sew
eral plants, to which no relationship
can be traced
1t is an endogen, yet its bark shows
concentric rings such as characterize
the exogenous stems. 1t lives and
thriyes in great numbers in a region
early devoid of vegetation, in land of
heat and thirst and barrenness.
Another tree in California which has
"a peculiar personality is the creeping
oak of Monterey.
Nowhere in the vegetable kingdom
can be found SO true a representative
Of monopoly. This tree is of gnarly
growth, its limbs, like those of the
sycamore, bending and twisting in all
I Wherever a branch touches the
earth it takes root and becomes, as it
were, another trunk though still a
branch Of the main stem, drawing
,nourishment both from the parent
stem and from the new source. In
this manner the tree is spread till it
has taken possession Of five acres Of
ground and it is still advancing.

Nothing is so consoling to wor-

Hence advises an obseryant wom-

Her troubles and perplexities should

WHERE WAS THE CAT?
Admitting the Meat, Owner Wanted to
Be Shown Feline.

A certain family living in one of the
suburbs of New York owned kitten
of which they were very fond. When
they went away for the summer it was
decided after various consultations to
leave the kitten with the butcher, on
condition that he should treat it with
the greatest kindness and give it about
a pound of meat week, besides it's
daily allotment of cream. Some weeks
after the family had closed the house
for the summer the nominal head of
the family visited the suburb to attend
to some business matters, and decided
that he might as well drop in at the
butchers to see how the kitten was
getting along.
He found the kitten curled up in
corner asleep and apparently at peace
with the world, but, far from being
sleek or well fed in appearance. it was
SO thin that he felt constrained to call
the attention of the butcher to the
fact.
DO you mean to say you have fed
that cat pound of meat during the
last week." he asked.
Il certainly have" responded the
butcher.
Put him on the scales and see how
much he weighs"
The butcher did as requested, and
gently deposited the kitten in the bal
ance The pointer indicated exactly
one pound.
We'll, grunted the owner of the ami
NAL, there's the pound of meat all
right, but where's the cat?"
