Kapok, known in Ecuador as llama

In the forests Of the littoral, a species
Of the genus Eriodendron (allied to the

A Pretty Hot Story.

Chabert the fire king, who was a
popular favorite in London over eighty
years ago, claimed to be able to swal-
low arsenic and other poisons with i'm
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, arsenic and oxalic acid,
which he proceeded to consume before
their eyes, taking an antidote after
ward which was supposed to neutrallze
their effects. Then, to show that he
was as impervious to heat as to poison,
he would take raw leg Of lamb into
an oven heated to 900 degrees and re-
main inside until the joint was cooked,
when it was carved and handed around
to the audience. The performance
concluded by Chabert rubbing a red
hot shovel on his head and face and
allowing any one who wished to drop
molten sealing wax on his tongue and

Beautiful Flag Flower.

Among the stateliest and proudest Of
the members of Americas flower fam
lily none excels the larger blue flag,
which also wears the names of blue
iris and fleur-de-lis. Ruskin calls It
the flower of chivalry, which has q
sword for its leaf and n lily for its
heart Longfellow pronounces it "a
flower born in the purple, to Joy and
pleasance." 1t blooms in the wet, rich
marsh and meadow from May to July
ond finds its home from Newfound-
land and Manitoba to Florida and Ar
kansas. The flag flower must look to
the insect world entirely for its propa-
cation, particularly to the bees as its
pollen carriers. So it puts forth
flower that is blue tinted, for its ex-
perience has taught it that bee can
be wooed with blue better than with
any other color.-Pittsburgh Press.

A Princes Chilly Din,

Prince Henry Of Prussia is an ar
dent sailor. says Parsons Weekly, but
he is known among the bluejackets as
great martinez. The following story
Is typical of his methods, and shows
that although he expects those under
his command to put up with all kinds
OF hardships, he is by no means above
''roughing it, himself.
One day, when he was on board a
warship in the North sea, he suddenly
gave the order, "All hands to bather"
1t was bitterly cold day and the
water WAS like ice. The order was
so evidently distasteful that one of
the officers ventured to make q mild
protest to the prince. Without an
swering him a single word, Prince
Henry. although fully clothed, sprang
over the vessels side, swan out a good
distance in the icy water and returned
to the deck dripping from head to foot
After that the sailors took their bath
without demur.

Growth or L.-s,.,,.


Nothing shows the growth of base
oaii more than a comparison of gate
receipts taken In during the different
series played for the baseball cham
plonship Of the world. In the year
1854 about 300 persons attended the
nnai game between the Providence
team and the Metropolitan club, cham
plons Of their respective leagues, and
tne total attendance at all three games
was less than 1900. Radbourne and
heefe, the opposing hurlers, were at
tne height Of their respective careers,
out they failed to draw the throngs.
However, the players did not worry,
as there was nothing in it for them
except glory.
In the season of 1885 the series was
failure from all standpoints. Only
5000 saw the six contests between the
men Of Arson and the Browns, led by
Charles Comiskey. The series was
marked by continual scrapping and at
times real fighting. 1t ended or broke
up with honors in games won and YER
bal scraps ''fifty-ffty." In 1886 the
first real series for the world cham
pionship was pulled of In a success
full manner. The six games drew 40
600, and the net receipts were S14, 900.

Ffes and Easy servants In Jap.n.

ILLUSTRATING the Idea.

A school inspector was examining a
class in grammar and trying to eluci-
date the complex relations of adjec-
dves and nouns by telling example.

That was an easy question, and all

This was not so easy, but after q
pause boy ventured to suggest:
"a little man."

A Titled KIeptomaniac.

A titled kleptOmaniac almost a CEN
fury ago was the Countess of Cork.
She had a reputation for stealing any
thing she could lay her hands on,
whether it was useful or valuable or
not. Once when leaving a country
house where she had been staying she
saw and quietly picked up a hedgehog
that was crossing a hall, pet Of the
porter's, and TOOK it away in her car
rage. Finding it an uncomfortable
foot warmer, she decided to dispose Of
It at the first town where she changed
horses and then offered it to a confec-
toner in return for a sponge cake.

Eskimo Candy.

Tallow is the Eskimo's candy. 1t
is put up in bright red packages made
out Of the feet of a waterfowl. The
women cut off the red feet Of this
bird, which is called the dovekie, draw
out the bones and blow up the skin so
as to make pouches, which they fiji
with reindeer tallow for their little
folk. None of the food that the Es-
kimos eat seems very inviting to US,
but they are extremely fond Of it and
are very apt to Overeat. 1t is said by
explorers who have gone into Green
land that it is no uncommon sight to
see an Eskimo man who has eaten an
enormous meal of the raw frozen flesh
of the reindeer. seal or walrus lying
on his. back and eating blubber until
he cannot move.-Exchange.
