Pneumonia developed, and she died al
her home in Oakville, Conn. She was
twenty-five years old.
Mrs. Wheeler went to have some
teeth pulled several weeks ago. The
dentist etherized her, 1t is said, and
while she was unconscious portions
broken from her teeth during the oper
alton dropped down her windpipe and
into her lungs.
On her way home she caught cold
and in a yer coughing spell coughed
up the crown of a tooth. The pneumo.

an abscess of the lungs. Physicians
after a consultation tapped her lungs,
but could not save her life.

TENDRILs.
Moving Parts Which Are the ~5rsins
Of Plant Life"

Moving Parts Which Are the ~6rsins
Of Plant Life"
There are two classes Of plants
which are melted by mans presence
to describe certain definite move
ments. One class, the sensitive
plants, retract their leaflets as We
approach them, as if they resented
any attempt at closer intimacy,
while the other class, comprising all
those vines which develop climbing
organs called tendrils, will reach
out toward US if we place our hands
in contact with them and will even
use a finger as a support to climb
upon. We know that these tendrils
will wind just as readily about a
twig or a grass stem, but as one
feels these sensitive strands multi
ply their encircling coils about ones
fingers there almost seems to be es-
tablished between US and the vege-
table world q more intimate rela-
tionship than has ever existed be-
fore.
Tendrils are indeed capable Of
exhibiting faculties and going
through evolutions more wonderful
perhaps than many Of US realize.
1t is only after we have seen them
at work, testing with their sensitive
tips the objects they come in con-
tact with, apparently considering
their suitability as a support and
then accepting or rejecting them,
as the case may bet is only then
that we realize how justly they have
been called the "brains Of plant
life"
The thoroughness with which
these wandering tips explore their
surroundings is illustrated by an in
stance / observed in a grapevine
tendril. A cherry branch whose
leaves had been variously punctured
and scalloped by insects hung near
the tendril, and q particular leai
had just one small hole in its blade,
not over three-sixteenths Of an inch
in diameter. So careful had been
the exploration Of the leafs surface
that this one small hole had been
discovered by the tendril, which had
thrust itself nearly three inches
through the opening. - Harper's
Magazine.

THE R0WLlNDs ACQUITTED.
Verdict Cheered. Prisoners and
LAWYERS Weep for JOy,


The jury in the Superior Court
was given the Rowland case at
midnight precisely, after ten
hours of argument and charge.
The State attacked the veracity
of the last witnesses for the de-
tense and it championed the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers. which had so stoutly
and steadily aided in pressing a
prosecution which it hadinitiated.
The defense charged the State
with suppressing facts, and it
attacked the Brotherhood. 1t
was known that there would be
no verdict until to-day if then.
Many persons predicted acquit-
tai; others said the jury would
he hung" A very few said
guilty as to Rowland himself,
while some said there would be
a Scotch verdict-"not proven. /"
At 9:20 a. m. the jury sent
word to Judge Long it was ready
with its verdict. He went to the
court room at once. The solicit
tor was sent for. 1t was twen-
ty minutes before he arrived.
Elmer Shaffer, one of the prose-
cutting attorneys, was also pres
emit for that side. All the attor-
neys for the defense, Watson,
Harris, Holding, Ryan and Hicks,
were on band. DIR. and Mrs.
Rowland were brought in, with
them being Rowland's uncle, the
ellis, and Miss Rowland's sister.
The silence was simply intense
; when the foreman of the jury,
Harper, announced the verdict,

spoke the words there was a rat

BookpIate Ruskin Had Made.

The death Of Mr.. Ruskin's publisher
reminds me that among the many
Ruskin drawings, engravings and
other relics which Mr.. Allen possessed
was a proof of bookplate engraved
at Mr.. Ruskin's express desire.
The fact that the distinguished au.
thor and art critic owned bookplate
is, | believe, unknown to collectors of
ex-libris, and only because Mr.. Ruskin,
after having the plate engraved and a
few proof impressions taken, altered
his mind and never used it. There is
no copy of the plate in the national
collection In the print room of the
British museum. The engraving was
done by W. Roffe, an old engraver in
stipple, employed by Mr.. Ruskin to
engrave Ida in the STORY of Ida," and
other small plates from drawings by
Miss Kate Greenaway.
