A NIarveloun Tree

A marvellous tree is reported to have
been discovered in the San Jacinto
Mountains, on the borders of Mexico.
The leaves Of the tree resemble those
of the fig in shape, but they are of vivid
purple and covered with brlstly hairs,
which easily penetrate the skin, causing
painful swellings. The flowers are red,
and greatly resemble tarantulas.

plant however, is the heavy and sick.

One of the most pleasing traits il

ness for his cat, Hodges Boswell ad
mits that he himself did not love cat
and experienced some discomfort Il
their society, a sensation he shares
with other and greater men. But
writes he, II never shall forget til,
indulgence with which he (Johnson)
treated Hodge, his cat, for whom h,
himself used to go out and buy oys
tiers, lest the servants, having thai
trouble, should take dislike to the
poor creature"
Nor was Dir. Johnson the only liter
ateur with fondness for cats Vie
tor Hugo had a great cat named Chan
oine, which always sat on large rec
ottoman in the center of his salon and
received the noYelistss guests in state
What is more, Chanoine showed mark

ton in keeping a number of kittens
in his private cabinet and watching
their gambols during his spare mo-

poet, a very shy man, was always i'll
at ease in any new house he entered
until the family cat was brought up
and introduced to him, after which,
with the cat on his knee, he was per-
fectly happy in his silent poet fashion.
The greatest cat champion was a
Frenchman namely, Chateaubriand,
the famous author and statesman.
When Chateaubriand was made sec

pope, Leo XI, gave him, as the most
acceptable gift the could offer, his own
Micetto, big cat of grayish red. Ear

Chateaubriand said that before his
death he hoped to advocate some

of these the two chief were to be the

Now the fact of the matter is we are not

enough to meet these expenses.
The officials tell the public that operator

She was put to work here at $50. After she
