But can you smile when you hear the

The gay little birds sing sweet at morn
Az they swing midst the dewy leaves.
But the owl steals forth IN the gloom Of
night
And scresms and moan through the

Or sing like the birds at mornf

And strive the clouds to pierce.

PINEAPPLE PLANTS.
They Do Not Die After Fruiting, but

They Do Not Die After Fruitins, but

Plneapples do not grow ON trees. I'm
agine plant four feet in extreme
height from the ground to the tip Of
leaves, single stalk at the surface
but dividing at once into swordlike
blades or leaves. fifteen In number
from the center of which appears a
stiff, upright stem. at the top of which
Is the fruit. This stem is short. and
the crown of the fruit when fully
grown is foot or more below the
points of the leaves.
At the end Of year and half from
planting each plant produces single
fruit, even as cabbage plant produces
a single head But the pineapple does
not die after fruiting once. Down on
the stem below the fruit and among
the long, narrow leaves a sucker APP
pears. If allowed to remain this will
soon become the head of the plant, and
within another year 1t will yield an
other fruit. This process may 90 on
for term of years. In the meantime,
however. other suckers will make their
appearance.
These are broken off. and when stuck
into the ground they put out roots and
become other plants. Thus a single
pineapple plant may produce dozen
or more others while 1t is yielding
fruit from year to year.

for parliament by Westminster con-

from London constituency. Shortly
after his defeat Balfour was walking
with friend In the lobby Of the house
of commons. A man came up 70 him
and said:
"How do you do. Mr.. Balfour! am
glad to see you, sir. trust you are
In good health"
Excellent" replied Balfour warmly;
"and am charmed to see you looking
so well. II is a real pleasure to meet
you again. as II always has been"
The two walked on.
"Who was that man?" asked Balfour.
"His face seems familiar, but cannot
remember him."

people are so enamored of literature

Washington, Feb. 13.-Primary

in an amendment to the Post Office
Appropriation bill, which the Senate
Committee on Post Offices today add
ed to that measure The consider
alton of the bill was completed by

result of suggestion by Senator
Bristow of Kansas. although his orig
inal provision was much modified.

Hindu Caste

The four grades of society among the
Hindus are the Brahmans or sacerdo-
tai class. who are said at the moment
OF creation TO have issued from the
mouth Of Brahma; the Kshatrya OF
Chuttsee or military class, sprung from
the arm Of Brahma; the Vaisya or Bats
or mercantile class, from the thigh OF
Brahma. and Sudras or Sooders or
servile class. from the foot Of Brahma.
The business OF the Sudras Is to serve
the three superior classes, more espe-
cially the Brahmans. Their condition
Is never to be improved They are not
to accumulate property and are unable
by any means to approach the dignity
Of the higher classes. These divisions
are hereditary, impossible and hide
feasible

RISKY POSTAL SERVICE.
In Russia the Government Opens All
Suspicious Packages.

Suspicious Packages.
Our own service of mails Is well or
ganized. There is little doubt in the
mind Of the average person that when
he posts a letter it will reach its desti
nation.
But in other lands he might well fear
for its safety. In Russia. for instance.
any letter or parcel that is regarded
with suspicion Is Immediately opened
and its contents noted. A clever ma
chine gums 1t up again. so that the re
cipient does not know that it has been
tempered with.
In Lapland the mails are carried in
sledges drawn by RENDERS. In the
wilds Of the Caucasus the postman
holds "A post of danger. He must be
protected against brigands and against
the weather. for he often has TO climb
mountains more than 10000 feet high.
Asiatic Russia. which is apt to he
marshy, has the buffalo post, and. OF
course. the progress made Is very
slow. Buffaloes are more powerful
than oxen. and they are also used In
Siberia for carrying the mail.

the skiing letter carrier of the Andes.

FIRE DANGER AT SEA.
How Flames Can Sweep the Inside OF
Even Metal Ship.

How Flames Can Sweep the Inside Of
Even Metal Ship.
The danger from fire on a transat-
lantic liner is more serious than Is gen.
orally believed. 1t Is much greater
than the danger from collision and Is
becoming more and more dangerous
with the increased outlay upon luxury
and display. The main structure of the
ship and most Of its essential parts arc
Of metal, but many of the fittings. near
.ly every feature Of ornament and every
trapping Of luxury, are highly infar,.
mable.
No one who has not been aboard the
Spanish wrecks at Santiago can coz
ceive how fire can sweep the inside Of
even metal ship. Admiral Cervera
described to me the experience on
board the Teresa in these words: 1.-THE
second shot that came on board set us
on fire. The fire main was damaged
Soon we were unable to COPE with the
fire. 1t swept through her from bow
to stern. There was not Il space as big
as the palm of your hand where life
could have been sustained. An insect
could not have lived on board. We had
to get overheard or be burned"
1t IS true the Spanlards had not cut
out their woodwork and thrown over
board all unnecessary inflammables, as
we had In the American fleet, but the
inflammability of one OF their war
ships was much less than that of a
luxurious ocean liner.-Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson in Engineering
Magazine.

Wealth Of the Boruias.

A large proportion OF the wealth OF
the Borgias appears to have come down
to their descendant. the duke OF Os.
suna. who figures In Disraelrs letters.
In 1861 the duke was appointed Span
Ish ambassador at st. Petersburg. He
accepted the post on condition that the
government would distribute his salary
among the poor Of Madrid. as he could
not condesrend TO draw money from
the state. The duke was then describ-
ed rs "the wealthlest man I'm Europe.
He could travel by coach from Madrid
