Ssvlno a Cab Faro,

Here's pretty tale of domestic economy from an English paper. He had been brought up In the lap of luxury and eXtraVagance, and when bad times came and he lad to go down to the city and look carefully after his shillings 1t was his pretty and tender little wife who helped him and encollr- aged him by example Tn small savings. One fence he never would face. He baked at taking a bus. Tt might pass the club, you know, dear and the fellows at the windows One evening. however, he returned ra- diant to dinner. Tender!y eHl5rari z his life's partner, he murmurod: "INf 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 mGch:" 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 Gave him big cigar and half q crowD for himself when I got down."

Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be found in the Philippine Islands are the 50 called plant stones" encounter- sd now and again In certain vegetable growths. The bamboo, for instance, according to Kuitur und Natur, con tans a stone very similar to the opal. but on account of the rarity With which 1t Is found it is much more costly than the opal. Tn many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beau tiful greensh pink scintillating stone has been formed from the minute part. cies of siliceous deposit that imparts It's intense hardness tU the outer GOV cring of the cane. The bamboo cane stone Is known as tabashlrs. In tine interior of some cocoanuts stoneliis { secretion is found that Is not inferior In br!liancy 10 the most beautiful gen uine pearl.

How Frost Affects Plants.

Plants do not freeze to death in win, ter, but perish from thirst. The proc ess fs simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant, forming fee crystals ont eide of the cells The frost, cooling and contracting the surface, acts as 9 sort of pump, and as soon as the cell is emptied of It's life giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has been proved by numerous careful, experiments. Great variation was found in the amount of cold necessary to cause the death of vegetation Soma plants dry out quickly and are lli!ie,. before the freezing point Is reached Many plants will survive zero weather and some die only at 20 degrees be. low Certain vegetable growths ncvo, freeze. There are forms of bacteria that even Wirn immersed in liquid air the iAtc1scst cold available, come out of their bitter bath as chipper and live iy as eye-.-Ghcago Tribune.
