Then we'll have spoonful of some sore of frozen stuff, served in hand-painted dishes, standing on queer little legs, and then will follow few spoonfuls of coffee, as an excuse to parade our souvenir spoons-the light luncheon will be over, and our friends will still be hungry.

 Senses of Plants.

The sense most developed in plants is that of sight, which enables them to see light but not to distinguish ob- jects. This sense limitation is found among many living creatures, such as the earthworm, oyster and coral etc, which possess no localized visual organ, but give proof of their lumin- ous impressions by the contractions that they manifest when exposed to ray of sunshine. Similarly, it is easy to gauge the influence of light on plants. Cultivate plant in room with a window only on one side and its stalks in growing will incline to- ward the source of light. Physiolo- gists explain this by suggesting that the side to the dark grows more quickly than that exposed to the light There remains, however, the fact that the plant has reacted to the light of whose effect 1t was conscious.
 A sense common to many plants is that of touch Of this the most illus tratlve example is, as it's name i'm plies. the sensitive plant. Another leaf. responsive to the touch, is the cateh-ny, whose two halves close down upon the other by means of central hinge.-IIarper' Weekly.

 Oriojn of playjnc Cards.

Although it is commonly reported that playing cards were invented in France in 1892 to divert Charles VI D'Allemagne, a French writer on the subject, mentions them as being in use in Belgium in 1879, and probably something analogous to them-mark. ed disks or counters-have been em. ployed in the east from remote an, tiquity. It is now usually thought that it was in Italy playing cards were first made, about 1870, and at Venice. The attempt to connect their inven' tion with astrology arises from the four suits. and 52 cards in all, being associated in ingenious minds with four seasons and the number of weeks In the year It does not appear likely that there was anything more asso ciated with the cards than amuse ment at the first, though gambling was vice with the Greeks and Rom ans long before the Christian era, and games for gain with some kinds oi counters were doubtless found among them.

 CURRENCY BILL.

The currency bill which has been introduced in both houses of con- gress is being discussed in every town and hamlet in the land. The thing that puzzles so many is that the bill deals with our greatest problem in such simple and effic- tent way. While it takes the power of controlling our finances absolute ly out of the hands or even the in f1uence of Wall Street, it neverthe- less will prove a great blessing to our banks and will through them prove a great blessing to all legiti- mate business enterprises, and will place the banks more completely under control of the Government than ever have been. The two main points of the Currency bill are therefore absolute Government control of money of the country and the automatic expansion or in- crease of money according to the requirements of business.

BILLS OLD X-RAY MULE
 BY C. c. GRANT.

I'm just in from Plumville," said the travelling man. T heard mule story while was in that town.
 "The city marshal one day last summer said to Big Bill McCune in front of Hickey's grocery: Bill, if you don't keep that oP mule O your'n of tn streets of this hyar.corporation I'll have h law on ye.'
 Big Bill bit of whacking big chew of tobacco before he drawled out: Well, if you do I'll git chure goat
 That evening Jerry, Big Bills mule, did not return to the barn. He passed the night in the village pound, pas ture largely infested with weeds and hemmed round win hedge of tall burdocks.
 The next morning Big Bill started out exploring and soon found Jerry rolling round contentedly in the weeds. They tickled his ribs, which had at- tained undue prominence while ram bling the streets of Plumville in search of juicy grass.
 When Big Bill saw Jerry so con tented he said to himself: Guess I'll leave the old fellow there for the rest of the week. I'll be out to Hen Cal listers. anyway. diggin that we'll
 That afternoon Aunt Betty Brown happened to pass the lot where old Jerry was nibbling. The sight of the forlorn creature with his sharp hori- zon outlines touched her heart and she waddled home for something to hide the mules X-rays. Soon his bone pile was concealed beneath couple of gunny sacks.
 Every night the city marshal tai lied up another days board against old Jerry. At 25 cents day, that will make pretty nigh five dollars agin tn end of tn month, he said.
 By the middle of the next month the marshal announced that he would auction of old Jerry to pay for his feed. There was a bill against him for $725 and 1t was growing larger every day. The auction was set for two o'clock Saturday afternoon.
 
 "Crowd up around here, gentle men!, he shouted. Now, how much am I offered to start this mule? He's guaranteed not to scare at automo- piles or tflrashin' machines. He's a family animal through and through. Now. what do hear to start him?"
 There came deep silence. while several of the farmers tried to lift the gunny sack that concealed Jerry's striking points.
 Gentlemen said the colonel, we sell Jerry just as he stands, fly nets and all How much am bid to start him?'
 Twenty-Five cents,' said old Jack Pemble
 The colonel fiddled around for ten minutes trying to get another bid, but they were not game sports. Twenty five once, twenty-five twice. twenty five three times! Are you all done? Sold to Jack Pemble for 25 cents!
 "If you happen to be motoring along the road five miles from Plumville and see an old mule standing patiently near a corn crib while half dozen children pull themselves up by his ears and slide down over his sides you'll know It's Jack Pemble's place"
