GROWS RARE FREAK
IN PLANT NATURE.

Gettysburg, S. D., Oct. 2s.-S.
G. Manful, a local gardener, has
in his possession a rare freak in
plant nature. 1t is a cabbage
stump, from which the original
head had been cut away. From
the stump a seed shoot had
sprung up to a height of fifteen
inches, and around this had
grown in the form of a cone
twenty-six little heads of cab
bage, each perfect in itself. The
little cabbages vary in size from
that of a baseball at the bottom
to half that size at the top.

In the course of our lives, say the
statistician, although we write many
letters, we have not the remotest Idea.
OF the distance our hand covers while
travelling over the paper. According to
him, the average man or woman writes
about thirty words a minute. which,
with the up and down strikes and
curves, represent something like five
yards, or 800 yards an hour. a per-
son, therefore, using his pen, for say,
two hours a day, can boast that his
right hand has j~ourneyed a distance of
100 miles.

A representative of this paper
heard expressed the other even
ing the need Of a curfew in
Phoebe. In thinking the propo-
sition over, it occurs to us that
this is an important and neces-
sary move. Children of tender
years have no business roaming
around the streets after night,
and it should be stopped. I'M
agine, if you will, the spectacle
of q number of little boys, loiter-
ing around the streets in front
of a saloon. hearing all the foul
language that is used at times.
1t is not to their benefit, and the
curfew is the most effective
means of stopping it. 1t is well
remembered when such was the
case in Phoebe, and no children
were found on the streets after
the appointed hour. This is a
proposition that would be well to
take up in the organizing of
town government and should be
made effective.

Lives of Animals.

Demonstrated animals as a rule
live longer than their wild kindred.
A dog may live twenty years.
Wolves, foxes and cats live to ff-
teen years.
Pigs attain forty years. Horses
reach twenty-six to twenty-seven
years. But there is an instance on
record of a mare attaining the ripe
old age of sixty-two. Street ear
horses rarely ever last longer than
twelve to thirteen years.
Despite his cheerful disposition
a squirrel rarely ever lives to be
older than seven, while, on the 9TH
er hand, the sober minded camel
manages to live 100 years.
Bears die at twenty, lions a little
older, but the patriarch of them all
issthe elephant. He is in his prime
somewhere near 100 and only be-
gins to feel the effects of age when
he gets to be 800 or 400 years old.

Why Tabby For cat2

A Florentine authority says that
when we use the word "tabby" as
ISOLATED with cat we go back to the
time when Mohammed named Attab
governor of Mecca. Then, later on,
there was a quarter in Bagdad
called "Atta Biyah," where cloth
was made of silk and cotton, which
material was famous in the eleventh
century. The Spanish Moors made
this stuff, which was striped, and SO
in time ''tabby cloth" became COM
mon in Europe; hence in low Latin
"attabia," in Spanish ''tabbi," in
French "'tabis" and in German
''tabin." Pepys tells of 'taby waist
coats with gold lace and in the
eighteenth century there are many
references to "tabby silks" worn by
great ladies. Today in the south
tabby means striped stuff

A Passion For Buttons.

Louis XIV, the Fgrand mo-
marquee" had a positive passion for
buttons. In 1855, when his craze
was at its highest he spent no less
than 100000 in this strange form
of indulgence. Among the items of
which this expenditure was made
up are the following: Aug. l, 1886,
two diamond buttons, value 81, S66
francs; rs diamond buttons, value
586,703 francs. On the buttons for
a single,yes he spent 100000. OF
the 354 "boutOnneries" used 162
contained five diamonds each. It is
estimated that during his lifetime
this foolish monarch spent no less
than $5,000,000 on buttons alone.
