Blow at the "Oid Soaks."
A bill Of vast import to local option
towns has passed by close call. 1t
was introduced by Mr.. Cable in the
house and Larson in the senate and
prohibits druggists from filling liq
uor prescription a second time. 1t has
been the practice of the ''old soaks'
to get hold of a physicians prescrip-
ton and file it with a good natured
pharmacist, who would fill 1t as often
as the bottle was returned. 1t is
hoped to break up the practice.
Following a pretty custom as old as
the state the legislature met on Fri
day. morning to celebrate the birth

Castle Garden,

Castle Garden was built by the Unit. ed States in 1907 from the plans of Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Williams Q. R.. and was called Fort Clinton. In 1922 it was ceded to New York city. In 1924 it became place of amusement and about 1926 got the name of Castle Garden. In 1845 there were Ethiopian minstrels there, in 1S47-49 theatrical companies played there. and in 1850 Jenny Lind sang there. In 1855 it was closed as place of amusement. and ihe commissioners of immigra ton took It as an immigrant depot. In 1870 i, suffered from fire, and on July 9, 1876 1t was burned to the ground. It was rebuilt at once In 1892 the depot was moved to Ellis island. and Castle Gar len reverted to the city. which in 1896 opened an aquarium there.

He had been brought up in tho lap of luxury and extravaganza, and when bad times came and he had to go down to the city and look carefully after his shillings it was his pretty and tender little wife who helped him and cncour- aged him by example in small savings One fence he never would face. He baked at taking bus. Tt might pass the club. you know. dear and the fellows at the windows. One evening. however. he returned ra diant to dinner. Tenderly embracing his life's partner, he murmured: Eve done it. darling. All the way for three pence"' Love and gratitude were in her eyes as she said: "My brave boy! Did you mind it very much:" With af- fectionate cheeriness he made answer: "No. dear! Got box seat real good old sort, the driver. Told me lots of stories and was quite chatty. Capital chap!

Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be found in the Philippine Islands are the so called plant stones" encounter ed now and again in certain vegetable growths The bamboo, for instance, according to Kultur und Natur, con tains a stone very Similar to the opal but on account of the rarity with which it is found it is much more costly than the opal, In many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beau tiful grcenish pink scintillating stone has been formed from the minute parti- cles of siliceous deposit that imparts its intense hardness to the outer GOV. ering of the cane. The bamboo cane stone is known as tabashirs. In the interior of some cocoanuts a stonelke secretion is found that is not inferior In brilliancy to the most beautiful gen. uine pearl

How Eroat Affects Piants.

Plants do not freeze to death in win ter, but perish from thirst. The proc ess is simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant, forming fee crystals out side of the cells. The frost, cooling and contracting the surface, acts as a sort of pump. and as soon as the eel! Is emptied of its life giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has been proved by numerous careful experiments. Great variation was found iE the amount of cold necessary to cause the death of vegetation. Some plants dry out quickly and are killed before the freezing point is reached. Many plants will survive zero weather and some die only at 20 degrees be- low. Certain vegetable growths never freeze. aArhere are forms of bacteria that es%when immersed in liquid air, the intenscst cold available, come out of their bitter bath as chipper and live ly as ever.-Chicago Tribune.

Wonderful Builders.

A personal inspection of the ryra mids made by an English quarry own. CT led him to the conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He found blocks of stone ill the pyramids weighing three or four times as much as the olielisks on the banks of the Nile. He saw q stone the estimated weight of which was 500 tons. Many of the stones were found to be thirty feet in length and fitted so closely to- gether that the blade of penknife could be run over the surface without discovering the break between them There is no machinery, he claims. SC perfect that it will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will meet together in unison as the stones in the pyramids meet.

There are s754,140 worth of sew

better than one-half the amount rep
