JACK THE
GIANT KILLER

Will Schwab. Corey and Johnson,
kill the United States Steel Corpo
ration? Will they use the Bethle-
hem Steel Company 10 kill tho Giant,
or will they organize a rival con
Germ both as to size aud rapacious
greed, and cut in ON the business
to such an extent as to decrease the
earnings or stealings of the billion
dollar corporation. and thus serve
to give out an article II possible less
inferior than that which is now be-
ing doled out? The latest announce
ments in the steel world indicate
that Charles NJ. Schwab, William FL
lis Corey and Archibald Johnson
have formed a combination, with
the Bethlehem works as a nucleus,
and that they intend to go hard af-
ter the giant United States Steel
Corporation. The following dis
patch from New York outlines their
alleged plans:

! DOG BRINGS UP KITTENS.
The Foster Mother Satisfied, Though
Sometimes SURPRISED,

Down in Delaware City, Del, a
young mother dog, when she turned to
lick her four new born puppies, found
they did not respond to her tender
care. They had come into the world
lifeless.
They were her firstborn and she
was puzzled and grieved that they
paid no attention to the soft caresses
with which she strove to WOO them
to her. She finally ceased in despair,
and looking about her spied mother
pussy, to whom a pair of healthy kit
tens had just arrived
Jealous and indignant she flew to
the happy mother and seized and
shook her till the cat fled in terror
and did not return Then the dog,
taking the kittens tenderly in her
mouth, carried them to her box and
adopted them as her own. There were
only two babies in place of her four,
but not being able to count She did
not notice the lack.
The kittens accepted the situation,
throve and waxed fat. But since they
are older and have become playful
their conduct sometimes astonishes
their foster mother.
For instance, when they chase each
other up a tree she looks after them
with amazement and solicitude, ap-
parently rejecting that she never be.

TWO STRANGE TREES.
The Mojava Yucca Vegetable Freak
The Creeping Oak of Monterey.

California has one tree which is the
personitication of mystery. Found no
where else in the world, it has mys
terious origin and thrives in region
of mystery.
The Mojava yucca is. vegetable
freak which has developed into spe
cies. It has the characteristics OF
several plants, to which no relation
ship can be traced.
It is an endogen, yet it's bark shows
concentric rings such as characterize
the exogenous stems. It lives and
thrives in great numbers in a region
early devoid of vegetation, in a land
Of heat and thirst and barrenness.
Another tree in California which
has a peculiar personality is the creep
ing oak of Monterey.
Nowhere in the vegetable kingdom
can be found so true a representative
of monopoly. The tree is of gnarly
growth, it's limbs, like those of the
sycamore, bending and twisting in all
directions.

"A year ago I was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.

she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such a comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would al

coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact. =:

cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fiat that I was in despair
but determined to give 1t one more

after the boiling began. It was a de-
cided success and I was completely
won by its rich delicious favour. In a

about two minutes, during which Katie
looked at her hero in fear and trem

Tacoma, Wash, Is the largest single
leather belt in the world. It is eighty
four inches in width, three-ply in

The belt is ia feet long. 1t took
the centers of the hides of 225 steers
to make it, and each piece Of this
leather was separately stretched be-

CANNIBAL PLANTS,

Some Of tho characteristics of Those
Anomalies Of the Vegetable Kingdom.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer: It
mas been proved time and again that
the so-called "canibal plants" Of which
the Venus fytrap is the type, are much
more healthy when allowed their regu-
lar insect food than when they are
reared under netting or in any other
manner which excludes them from
their regular meat diet. The above is
an oddity Of itself, especially when we
consider the fact that there is a GER
tain school Of botanists which teaches
cannfbal plants make no use whatever
of the insect prey captured by them,
but it is nothing compared with the
bold assertion made by Francis Darwin.
That noted scientific gentleman bravely
meets the vegetarian botanists' with
the assertion that all kinds and classes
of plants, whether known as "meaters'
or not, bear more and heavier fruits and
seeds when fed on meat than those that
are not allowed a flesh diet. He grew
two lots, comprising various varieties of
the different common plants. One lot
was regularly fed (through their roots,
of course) with pure juices compressed
from meat. the other with water and
the various fertilizers. The final fig
ures on this odd experiment proves that
the plants which were fed pure meat
juice bore 1853 fruits Of the different
kinds, while the unfed plants Of the
same number and original condition
bore but .twenty-four. Also that tho
pampered plants bore 24o seeds to every
100 borne by the plants thatSwere not
given a chance! to crafty cannibalistio
tastes. This is certainly a: discovery
worthy Of much careful study and ex-
tensive experiment. = :. { y e:5 52: s GA.
