ton to journalism, being for long time

ton. A surgical operation was under
taken to relieve him, but he lived only
short time after it was completed. His
funeral, to which there was large out
pouring, was in charge of the Masons,
aud with military honors.
The eulogies spoken at his funeral
paid high tribute not only to Mr.. Rus
sells talent and ability as poet and
orator, but to his unselfishness, his love
of home and country, and his many en-.
nobling traits. r.

Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Ants
and Other Insects.
Almost everybody knows there are

Nevertheless there is plant, or, rath-

1t is likely that on account Of its be-
ing extremely small 1t has escaped
attention. In fact, 1t seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find 1t classed
among the sensitive plants.
This Is an annual herb, and the en-
tire plant, including the flowers. is Of
deep rich red color. 1t rarely reach
ed a height Of more than three inches
and is never so broad. The leaves are
spatulate when undisturbed and pre-
