Farmers are well acquainted with
the fact that the roots of trees will
disrupt and sometimes overturn a
stone wall, but the lifting power of
tender vegetables is equally surprising.
The one result which has perhaps
attracted the greatest attention Is the
discovery that weight of two and a
half tons can be lifted by the common
pumpkin in the course of its develop
ment
Or. Carpenter relates the story of a
paving stone weighing eighty-three
pounds that was raised from its bed
(when joined by others on all four
sides) by such soft piece of fungi as
the common mushroom. And still an
other and more remarkable story is
added to the above
A man had a cask OF sweet wine and
placed 1t In an empty cellar to mature.
When examined several years later 1t
had risen from the floor of the cellar
to the ceiling, having been borne up
ward upon the tender shoots of vine
fungus with which the cellar was
filled.-London Home Notes.

1.-THE Good Old Days"

How times have changed. When we
were young, people had bad colds,
soaked their feet In hot water and got
well. Now they have grip, take quinine
and feel sick all over Then they had
sore throat. wrapped a piece of fat
pork In an old sock, tied 1t around the
neck at night and went to work the
next morning Now they have ton
silltis, surgical operation and two
weeks In the house. Then they had
stomach ache and took castor oil and
recovered. Now they have appended
tis week In the hospital and six feet
due east and west and six feet perpen-
dicular They worked then; they labor
now. In those days they wore under.
clothes; now they wear lingerie. Then
they went to a restaurant; now they
go to cafe. Then they broke a leg;
now they fracture limb. People went
crazy then; they have a brain storm
now. Politicians then paid good hard
cash for support; now they send gov.
eminent garden seeds. Yes, times
have changed, and we all change with
the times. That's progression.-Ancil
Hatten In Westphalla (Kan) Times.

He was well meaning young man.
but as curate In a small village he had
never occasion to meet the class OF
people who frequented the fashion
able parish to which he had just been
appointed.
His new rector, wishing to help him
on to success, had been liberal with
advice and had duly impressed him
with the importance OF always taking
the ''tone" Of the people with whom
he mingled Being invited to take
dinner at the mansion of one Of the
members Of this congregation and
knowing that he would have to say
grace, the young curate took his cue
from the conversation overheard be-
fore dinner, and when his hostess
nodded meanlngly In his direction be
delivered himself, Of the following
which he considered quite in keeping
with the tone" of the Sguests assem-
bled:

"coina Out to see a Man.

"Going out to see a man" was the
Invention of Artemus Ward. One night
In the winter of 1885, when the humor-
list was about half through his lecture,
he paralyzed his audience with the an
uouncement that they would have TO
take a recess of fifteen minutes so as
to enable him to go across the street to
see a man" H. r. Tracey, the editor
of the Washington Republican, was In
the audience and, seeing an opportuni-
ty to improve upon the joke, penciled
these lines and sent them to the plat
form:
Dear Artemus-If you will place
yourself under my guidance. I'll take
you to see man without crossing the
street"
Artemus accepted the invitation. and
while the great audience impatiently
but with much amusement awaited the
temperance of the humorist the lat
ter was making the acquaintance Of
Aman. a well known restaurant keeper
at that time. and luxuriating at a well
laden refreshment board. OF course
everybody caught on to" the phrase,
and men became fond of getting up be-
tween the acts and going out to see
Aman" The restaurateur's business
from that time forward doomed. Men
who would ordinarily sit quietly
through an entertainment and behave
themselves allowed themselves to be
Influenced by the contagion.-Louis-

n. Was Careful, Of His Voice.

Brignoli the famous tenor, was
very susceptible to 6attery. and 1t is
said that once In New York when the
orchestra vigorously applauded one Of
his favorlte songs he was so touched
that he came down to the footlights
and invited them all to a champagne
supper at tie Everett House. The
supper cost him $500.
Brignoli was very careful of his
voice and was terribly afraid of drafts.
1t was once stated that during The
winter it always took him three-quar-
tiers OF an hour to get from his room
to the street. First he would on
leaving his room pace the hall for ten
minutes to get acclimated. He then
descended to the lobby, where the tenn
perature was little lower, and spent
twenty minutes there. He then ven
tured to the vestibule, from which the
door opened into the street. He would
parade the vestibule for fifteen min
utes, occasionally opening the door to
lot In a little cold air. Being now ac-
customed to a cool temperature, he
would button up his coat and sally
forth
