A Joke on Mark Hanna.
In that campaign the Republicans
opened headquarters in New York and
Chicago, and Mark Hanna looked after
both Of them, spending most OF his
time In Chicago The shrewd Buckeye
senator was so certain of the result
that fortnight before the election no

Plants That Grow in the Air.

Fresh air babies are the aerophytes
or epiphytes, the air plants which do
not grow in the earth, but In the air,
chiefly in trees. These air plants de-
rive their nutriment from atmospheric
moisture and thus are to be distin-
guished from terrestrial plants or
those growing on the earth. In South
America they are to be found growing
on the orange trees among the
branches. In appearance they re-
semble carnations. They blossom
