Weepind Trees.

One of the wonders of plant life is the weeping tree of the Canary islands. It is of the laurel family, and rains down a copious shower Of wa- ter drops from it's tufted foliage. This water is often collected at the foot of the tree and forms kind of pond, from which the inhabitants Of the neighborhood can supply themselves with a beverage that is absolutely fresh and pure.
 The water comes out of the tree itself through innumerable little pores situated at the margin of the leaves. It issues from the plant as vapor dur ing the daytime, when the heat is suf- ficiently great to preserve it ir that condition; but in the evening, when the temperature has lowered very much, considerable quantity of it is exuded in the form of liquid drops that collect near the edges of the leaves until these members so bend down that the tears tumble off on the ground below in a veritable shower.

MONEY WAS EASILY EARNED
But Manufacturer Got What He Want ed and Paid for Knowledge
 Chemist Had Acquired.

A manufacturer of some patent com pound came into the laboratory of an analytical chemist one day with bot tie containing an unwholesome-looking mixture.
 q would give $100," he said, "to know what would make the water and oil in this mixture separate"
 The chemist looked at the bottle.
 ''Very well" he said, write out your check"
 Check" the other echoed. .
 ''Yes, your check for $100. You say you are willing to give that, and for that price 1 am willing to tell you what will make the water and oil sep arate."
 The visitor hesitated moment, and then wrote a check for the sum named. The chemist carefully deposited it in his pocketbook, and then quietly dropped into the liquid pinch of common salt.
 Instantly the water and oil separ- ated, and whether the client was sat isfied or not, he had got what he want ed and he had paid his own price for if

QUALITY TO BE CULTIVATED
Not Altogether Matter of Curiosity in Asking a Woman If "She Is
 Vain Enough"

That may seem strange question to ask most women, for, according to the opinions of the other sex, we pos sess all the vainglorious tendencies of the peacock, and then some; but there are women, and we all know them, who are not vain enough. They really could not care about their personal appearance, or they would not let the wisps of hair float unrestrained about otherwise half-dressed cultures, or noses go shiny when the least dab of powder would remedy matters. It is not so much ones personal appearance that counts, for, after all, such people will tell you that they would rather take the time for improving their souls or their minds, or something equally intangible; but one should re- member that one owes a certain amount of visible personal charm to ones neighbors; that even if you do not care whether your hair lies flat and unbecoming on your head, other peo- pie get some pleasure out of seeing you with a fluffy, prettily arranged coiffure. Again, there is a psychologi- cal effect from well grooming. A good complexion, beautiful hands and nails. becomingly arranged hair, good. erect figure all act upon ones man. ners. A wave in the hair will take the kinks out of ones disposition. So cultivate enough vanity to make you always look your best and to empha- size your own good points.
