The Orchid Family.

There seems to be a general mIscon-
cepuon as to just what an orchid Is
Many call any plant which grows Oh a
tree or has some peculiar feature an
orchid. This mistake is frequently
made with the pitcher plants and the
tail flowers" The uniting In one or
gan, called the column. of the stanens
and plstils serves TO distinguish the
orchid family from all related ones.
The orchid family embraces 5000 or
1000 species, of which comparatively
few are found in the warm temperate
and almost none in the cold temperate
zones. They are mostly distributed in
the tropical regions, in hot, humid
places. Orchids, however. do not inva-
riably prefer humid conditions. Nearly
all tropical orchids grow on trees, but
in temperate regions they grow in
earth.-Youth's Companion.

British Army Rod Tnpe.

A letter of instruction said to have
been sent to a British army officer, who
reported that Private Blank had lost
his greatcoat, runs as follows: The
calculat ton of the value of a lost great
coat should be made by deducting the
value when worn out from the value
when new, as given in article IS, 1865,
clothing warrant. dividing the re-
maluder by the number of months the
garment should wear, multiplying the
quoitaut by the number OF months the
garment has actually been worn and
subtracting the sum thus obtained
from the total value OF the new great
coat. The balance is the amount that
should be charged"

PENGUlNS FEEDING.
The Change That Takes Place When
They Enter the Water.

The appearan nee of the keeper OF the
penguins at the ZOO, with his pail or
live gudgeon, is the signal for sudden
end intense excitement in the cages.
The penguins wave their little fippers
End waddle 10 the door, whence they
peer eagerly down the wooden steps
leading to the pool. The cormorant
Croaks and sways from side to side,
and the darters poise their snaky heads
and spread their batlike wings. AT the
waters edge the peDguins do not
launch themselves upon the surface
like other water fowl, but instantly
plunge beneath.
Once below water an astounding
change takes place. The slow, ungain-
" bird is transferred into swift and
brilliant crea turc, beaded with globuIes
of quicksilver, where the air clings TO
the close feathers, and flying through
the clear and waveless depths with ar
rowy speed and powers Of turning far
greater than in any known form OF
aerial flight. The rapid and steady
strokes of the wings are exactly sim
liar to those Of the air birds, while its
feet float straight out level with the
body, unused for propulsion or even as
rudders and as little needed In its prog
ress as those Of a wild duck when on
the wing.
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes of one wing and
the cessation of movement in the other,
and the fish are chased, caught and
swallowed without the slightest relax
alton OF speed in a submarine flight
which is quite as rapid as that of most
birds which take their prey in midalr.
In less than two minutes some thirty
gudgeon are caught and swallowed be-
low water. the only appearance Of the
birds on the surface being made by one
or two bounds from the depths, when
the head and shoulders leap above the
surface for second and then disap-
pear.
Any attempt to remain on the sur
face leads to ludicrous splashing and
confusion. for the submarine bird can
not float. 1t can only fly below the
surface. Immediately the meal Is fin
ished both penguins scramble out Of
the water and shuttle with round backs
and dropping wings back to their cage
to dry and dIgest-London Spectator.

THE BIRTH OF WORDS
A WEALTH OF EXPRESSIONS FROM
THE HUMAN BODY.
More Than Four Hundred Words In
Our Language Are Related to the
Hand Alone and Almost as Many
Are Derived From the Head.

The human body-itS limbs, fingers,
toes, mouth, nose, ears, head and some
of the internal organs-has originated
hundreds OF words In one Of the
large dictionaries more than 400 are
found related to the hand alone and
almost as many to the head.

refer to what comes out of the mouth.

The heart (cordis) Is to be observed

their name from their resemblance to

LIFE ON EASY STREET,
It Is an Id cal Place and Worth striv.
ing For

There are more strong limbed, clear
headed, brave hearted people living on
Easy street than anywhere else in this
broad land, and their prime condition
is the natural consequence Of living
there. for, although you may not have
thought Of il, there is a close relation
ship existing between good health and
the consciousness OF getting on well in
life. You can see this for yourself il
YOU will note how a strong man DROPS,
Ike frost nipped flower who by some
mistake loses his position. his posses
si0ns or the esteem of his fellows, one
or all Shylock made hard bargain

foreclose the bond lost his cash and

Mental disturbance followed, including
physical i'll being, and. staggering away
from the judges bench and clutching
at the air he cried, II am not well"'
But you need not go back so far 10 get
an illustration.
And on the other hand you can see
by observing for yourself how the gain.
or even the anticipated gain, of home
on Easy street will make a sick man
well, quicken dying hopes into life and
change the water of sorrow into the
wine cf JOY. Recent literature has re-
minded US how a happy turn in the
tide Of the affairs OF Josiah Wedgwood,
afterward to become the worlds great
pioneer pottery artist and inventor,
raised him from an invalid's couch and
started him upon the road to affluence
and distinction among England's in

stOnecraft, afterward the mother Of the
poet Shelley's wife, i'll from neglect and
discouraged by hardships, was, by the
success OF her modest ventures in lit
erature, heartened to undertake her
great life work, which soon yielded her
a handsome royalty.
Read the story of Angelina, who
lives on East street and has no desire
TO move and lose her clear headednesS
and her health. She was engaged to
be married to Allan. He was clerk
receiving S12 per week. and she earned
SS5 a month teaching school. After a
few years Angelina explained her con-
tinued spinsterhood by saying that she
had given Allan time to develop into
larger money getter, and he had not
done It. SO she decided against the ad-
visibility of exchanging an &s5
month position for $50 a month hus-
band. 1t is quite true that when pow
erty comes In at the door love flies out
of the window, but 1t Is not because
the Angelinas are without sentiment.
1t is because love cannot feed on in
competency and thrives best on Easy
street.
SO the Importance of everything that
will aid any one to get on In the world

Preparations are being made by the

to get something new and taking is a
difficult problem. Here is a little
suggestion that some of the young
people may find useful. Provide each
girl with a piece of bright colOred sat
in ribbon. This is the only material
needed for the tying of love knots"
as the game is called. Each man must
be the time-keeper for each girl and
he must talk to her all the time she
is tying an artistic love knot in the
ribbon. He keeps his watch in his
hand and tries to divert her attention
by making her answer his questions.
Three minutes is the time limit and if
she succeeds in tying it, he must wear
it during the evening and if She fails,
she must keep at it until she succeeds.
