Arabia's Laughing Plant.

The laughing plant is not flower that laughs. but one that creates laughter, if the printed accounts of travellers can be believed, says an English paper. It grows in Arabia and is called the laughing plant be- cause the seeds produce effects like those caused by laughing gas. The dowers are Of bright yellow, and the seed pods are soft and woolly, while the seeds resemble small black beans. Only two or three grow in a pod The natives dry and pulyerize them, and the powder, taken in small doses, makes the soberest person be- have like a circus clown or a madman, for he will dance, sing and laugh most boisterously and cut the most fantastic capers and be in an uproar- iously ridiculous condition for about an hour. When the excitement ceases the exhausted exhibitor of these an- tics falls asleep, and when he awakens he has not the slightest remembrance of his frisky doings.

BLUFF AMONG THE NEGROES
Little Story of Quarrel That Illus trates Their Love of Flourish
 and Poses.

Love Of blur Is curious characI teristic of the negro. Sometimes the deadly razor becomes active with a vengeance. but countless other times t is merely fourished with frightful threats and boastings Of it's slashingj qualities. These are vanity poses.
 One night recently I saw strikinti living picture of this kind. l was one of crowd which got of an early morning elevated train. A negro quarrel was in progress in front Of house on the opposite side of the street and all stopped to watch 1t. One husky black was about to apply 2n axe to the cranium of smaller legro. when an ally of the lesser one threatened the husky individual with | blackjack from behind. Thus 1t tood-if the axe fell on one skull
 he blackjack would descend on an other. Neither participant seemed willing 10 start anything" There was the tableau and 1t simply died
 away like moving picture climax sn the screen.
 Evidently this scene Of inaction 0vertaxed the patience Of the dusky spectators. for they broke the lull by tossing beer bottles al one another 1 This. 100. was without ginger Just IS l stepped behind telegraph pole 1 avoid the flying glass. an excited i i'd darkey appeared at the door and | fred q shotgun over the heads of the i iisputants.

WHEN CARVING WAS AN ART

King Corn.

Corn. the gift of the new world to the old, is the king of grains. Each year some new use is found Tor II. Even after everything, seemingly, has been extracted from it there is left valuable residuum known as corn oil cake, which is sold here and abroad and is used in the fattening of sheep and other animals. Nearly 50,- 900 .0e0 pounds of this material are an- nually shipped to Great Britain and Germany and there used by farmers, who find it cheaper than materials ot a similar nature which they can grow at home.
