4 Wonderful Mass.

One Of the most wonderful speci-
mems OF vegetable life known to the
botanist Is the life moss" Of Jamaica,
barbados and other OF the West In
dian islands. There are several spe-
cies Of tropical plants which have re-
Miarknblc tenacity Of life. but the 'life
moss ana the story of its vitality are
almost beyond belief. It's powers to
live under adverse circumstances be-
ing certainly beyond that of any other
known plant. 1t appears to be abso~
lutely indestrNctible by any means ex-
ccpt by immersion In boiling water or
the application OF 4 redhot iron to Its
roots and branching vines. II may he
cut M and divided into inAniteslmal
particles. and then the very smallest
shred viii throw out roots and soon
grow and form new branches and
buds. Specimens OF this extraordinary
plant have been suspended in the. air
In a dry, hot room; they have been
placed In close, air tight dark boxes.
without moisture Of any sort. and yet
they lived, grew and flourished.

He wa. Old Enough.

The late Homer Lea. who did so
much to organize the army Of the Chi
nese republic. was a mar who saw
little actual service in spite Of his title
Of general" He was fond Of relating
the story Of his first military COM
mand. by which he received this pre-
Ok. he was then Il young man whose
only claim to military distinction was
a book knowledge Of the theory OF
warfare. 1t was said of him that he
knew every detail of all Napoleon's
battles. Upon his arrival in China he
went to the taotail of Canton and asked
that he be made general Of all the
troops in the province. LEAFS youth
and his ~figure-for he was a hunch-
back-did not combine to make much
of an impression upon the astute old
Chinese official. How old are yOu?"
he asked. ''Tle same age as Napoleon

III. Democracy Of Death.

In the democracy Of the dead all
men at last are equal. There ia nci,
Their rank nor standing nor preroga'
live IN the republic OF the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song OF tho
poet Is silent. Dives relinqnishes hia
millions and Lazarus his rags. The
poor MAJ Is as rich rs the richest, and
the rich man Is as poor as the pauper.
The creditor loses his usury. and tho
debtor Is acquitted OF his obligation,
There the proud man surrenders his
dignities, the politician his honors. the
wOrldling his pleasures. The invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unreqNited toll. Here at
last Is natures final degree IN equity.
The wrongs OF time are ~redresscd, In
justice is explated, the irony OF fate
Is refuted. the unequal distribution OF
wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure and
opportunity which makes life so cruel
and lnexplicable ceases In the realm
OF death. The strongest there has no
supremacy, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mIghtiest captain sue.
cumbs to that invincible adversary,
who disarms alike the victor and the
vanquished.--John ]. ingalls,.

Paris is said to posses more sundials
than any other city in the world. In
the eighteenth century the sundial was
popular in Paris. Every day at noon
the sundial Of the Palais Royal "a the
center OF interest OF an eager crowd.
A writer tells Of Il great crowd in the
corner Of the Palais Royal garden,
standing motionless, with their noses
In the air" Each was waiting for
noon. having his watch in hand, ready
to set at II O'clock. When the Duke
Of Orleans was altering the palace In
1852 the Parisians were much dis
turbed, thinking that they were to be
deprived Of their favorite sundial. But
the duke not only preserved the sun
dial, but added to 1t a little powder
magazine, which was so arranged that
it exploded when the sunlight fell upon
It. thus notifying every II who heard
the explosion that the hour Of noon
had arrived. Later 4 cannon, which
was discharged by the u at noon,
gave the signal.

Weary of life. a farmer went out to
his barn and hanged himself. A little
later his wife, entering the barn to
feed some animals. saw her husband
swinging from the rafters. Arguing
that II, as it was natural to think, her
husband intended to commit suicide lie
would be exasperated by. the frustra-

as it was and went on with the work
Of the farm. Several hours later In
the evening, when her daughter came
back from the fields, the woman told
her what had happened. Mother and
daughter deliberated for some time as
to what ought to be done and finally
decided to inform the mayor. When
that official came in haste and cut
down the body life had been extinct
for several hours.-London Telegraph.
