One Of the most extraordinary plants
In the world is undoubtedly that
known to botanists as Anastatica. com
monty called the Resurrection plant
or occasionally the Rose OF Jericho.
1t is an annual inha biting the Egyp-
tan desert. 1t is SO highly hygromet-
rio that when fully developed 1t con
tracts its rigid branches SO as to con,
stitute ball. Exposed then to the
action of the wind it is blown hither
and thither toward the sea. when II
is gathered and exported to Europe.
If then. when apparently dead and
dried up. its root Is plunged into wa
ter the buds swell with new life and
leaves Of its caiyx open. the petals un-
fold, the flower stalk grows and the
full blown flowers appear as II by
magic. When removed from the wa
ter the plant returns to its original
apparently dead condition until again
placed in water; hence. its title OF the
Resurrection plant.
There are many superstitious taaes
concerning this so called rose afioa'
in the east. 1t Is said to have frs,
bloomed on Christmas eve and con
tinued to flower till Easter. at it's birth
heralding the advent of the Redeemer
and Immediately before his departure

Tnere mas long existed among the
Chinese q passion for fireworks and
lanterns. Travellers have called China
the land Of lanterns. and the term is
opposite. In every city. at every port
and on every river and canal a. soon
as night comes on lanterns make their
appearance. They are hung at the
door Of every dwelling; they swing a.
pendants from the angles Of pagcdas:
they form the fiery crown Of every
shop front: they cluster round the
houses Of the rich and light up tho
novels Of the poor; they are borne with
the carriages Of travellers, and they
swing from the yards and the masts
Of vessels.

made him look up. Instantly he went
running down the slope and along the

Gradually his common sense con

reach the hotel until after everybody

apprised Of his presence.
He had just entered the valley by
way Of the Coulterville TRAIL" says
the author. land was coming past Ell

Had he then looked toward the North
Dome with a good glass he might have
seen me jump up from my work and
run toward him. This seems the one

Montgomery Market

Montgomery. January 19.-(Speeial)- Spot cotton was unchanged in Mont gomer ytoday at 9ikc and 9ssc.
 Eggs arc beginning to climb again. To- day they were quoted at 40 cents q dozen with g probability of another ad- vance. Tho advance came unexpectedly, as last week the price dropped to 5 cents and 1t was thought at that time fl would continue to cown down slowly. It seems now the demand Is greater than the sun ply. During the entire winter the le- niand for eggs has been good at times much greater than market men and pro duee dealers could supply. Two or three weeks ago the markets were suddenly flooded with eggs, but this supply has d. ready been exhausted and the cry has gone up for more.
 Hens and turgeys are being sold well now Turkeys are bringing about IS to ao cents a pound and hens are selling for about 8 cents each.
 Cabbage can be purchased now, but the advance in price is almost one-fourth since last week. Ten days ago the price was cents pound now it is four.
 Celery is coming in fairly well, but the supply is nc greater than the demand. The good variety is bringing sl.50 dozen. The second best grade sells for Sl.35 and the cheaper variety is bringing sl a dozen.

 The opening was steady at un- changed prices to an advance of , points, which was about in tone with the English cables. Realizing or liqui- dation by recent small buyers who were probably disappointed that this mornings news from Lawrence, Mass. did not confirm the rumors of yester- day afternoon that the dispute in the mills there had been settled caused slight reactions from the opening fig ures during the morning, but Liver pool continued steady, there was evil dently buying of good character here on a scale down and as soon as the early offerings had been absorbed the market. developed tenedncy to work higher After selling about 4 to 6 points above the closing figures of yesterday. private cables from Liverpool reporting strike settlement unlikely today caused another setback to within a shade of last nights clos ing figures, but the market later be- came more active as well as firmer on covering and bull support inspired by the announcement that at last the Lan- cashire disputes, which resulted in a lockout just before tho first of the year, had been settled. The close was within a point of the best. Rains were reported in the south again to- day with lower temperatures in the western belt, suggesting continued light movement, but estimates of to- morrows port receipts were somewhat heavier, supposedly owing to an effort to get cotton through for filling out large January export engagements. Heavy export engagements are also re- ported for February and today's clear ances were very heavy. with the total for the season now aggregating about l,120,000 in excess of the same period last year.
