Wonder of Plant Memory.

Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist, says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 a plant allied to
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert of Sonora.
In Mexico, and since then it has been
kept-without watering in a strange
climate $500 miles from home. Dur
Ing the six weeks of rain in the des-
ert the plant grows its leaves and
flowers and perfects it's seed. Then
It dries up and leaves only a water
filed gourd, which q thick, hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season of six
weeks. It wakes, sends out rootlets,
stems and leaves, and then dries up
again until the following year.

THE SHY OKAPI.
Strange Animal That Is Found in Some

Another specimen of this singular
African animal has recently been OBJ

killed in the Ituri forest by a native
hunter. So far as Major Powell Cotton
has been able to learn, says Youths

Saved by a Soma.

A boy was amusing himself by
watching the birds that were flying
around him. At length a beautiful
bobolink perched on a rough bough of
an apple tree near by.
The boy picked up a stone, and got
ready to throw it at the bird. The
birds throat swelled, and forth came
the song: "A-link, a-link, a-link, bobo-
ling, bobolink, a-nosweet, a-nosweet.
l know it, I know it, a-link, a-link;
don't throw it, throw it, throw it."
And the boy did not throw the
stone, but dropped it on the ground.
"Why didn't You stone him, my
boy? You might have killed him and
carried him home"
The little fellow looked up and re-
piled, "Couldn' t COS he sang so."-

Work and Pray.

When we pray for any virtue, we
should cultivate the virtue as well as
pray for it; the form of your prayer
should be the rule of your life; every
petition to God is precept to man.
Look not, therefore, upon your pray
ers as a method of good and salvation
only, but as perpetual motion of
duty. BY what we require of God we
see what He requires of us.-Jeremy

but before he could speak she turned
and fed.
Prof Macauley says she seemed
to be dressed in nothing more sub
stantial than leaves, entwined and
matted together so as to form a
covering for her body. He made in
quiries in the neighborhood and
found that other persons besides
himself had seen the woman. She
lives in solitude in a small, low hut,
in the interior of which no person of
medium size could stand upright. She
has no companion save a number of
dogs. which help her in procuring
food in the forest. A rife is included
in the list of her possessions, but am
