Beauty Of Pennsylvania.

Tn one respect only Pennsylvania y
unchanged and Interchangeable Men
have dealt harshly and shamefuiiy Dy
her but nature has crowned her WIN
heauty. Her founder, knowing noun
ING OF his broad tracts, save tnnt tney
were forest lands, gave to the new
proyince the pretty name of sylvania,
and Charles H., always a pastmastel
Of words, prefxed the Penn, for when
pleasant conceit every son and oaugn,
fer of the state owes MIN gratetai
thought. Thus the word Pennsylvania
-perpetuates history, honors a nooie
name and symbolizes the loneliness OF
the land, land Of woods and waters,
hills and valleys, fat farms and rocky
solitudes. The shrieking engine that
draes its trainload of passengers

ghenies, past the Tuscarora gap ana

widely and nobly beautiful that, in Eu.

StrAnnth of q Flower.

One Of the most remarkable exhibit
tons Of plant force 1 ever saw, says
John Burroughs in 1.-THE Breath of
Life" was in a western city, where !
observed a wild sunf1ower forcing its
way up through the asphalt pavement.
The folded and compressed leaves of
the plant, like mans fist, had pushed
against the hard but flexible concrete
until it bulged up and split and let the
irrepressible plant through. The force
exerted must have been many pounds.
1 think it doubtful If the strongest man
could have pushed his fist through such
a resisting medium.
Life activities are kind Of explo-
sion, and the slow continued eXplo-
sions Of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. 1t Is doubtful If any cult
vated plant could have overcome such
odds. It required the force Of the un-
tanned hairy plant Of the plains to ac-
complish the feat.

Parilous to Handle.

The production Of chrysarobin,
medicinal principle much used In par
asitic skin diseases, is attended with
great peril. It forms about so per
cent of goa powder, obtained from
cavities in the Brazilian araroba tree
(Andira anarabo), and in securing this
powder the trees are felled, though
eighty to one hundred feet high, and
often three feet in diameter. The ma
terial is found as damp pulp or Jumps
in the center of the trunks, the yield
sometimes reaching sixty or sixty-hve
pounds per tree, with none at all In
some trees. The accompanying caus-
tic LIQUID makes the substance difficult
to handle and, despite gloves and
masks, workers for any length Of tim,
invariably lose their hair, eyebrows
and eyelashes and sometimes even be
come blind, while sores from the burns
may cause long disability. A cat has
been known to lose its fur from sleep
ing on bag of the powder.

The record for fasting, so far as our
best Information goes, is held by
CRANE, a French murderer, who de-
termined to starve himself to death
and from day to day after his arrest
refused to eat
In spite of every effort ON the part
Of his keeIers, who first tried to tempt
him to eat by placing the most dainty
meals in his cell and when that failed
attempted feeding him by force, he
held out for sixty-three days. at the
end Of which period he died.
With the exception Of CRANES case
the longest we'll authenticated instance
Of fasting on record is that accomplish
ed by Giovanni Succi, who lived at the
Royal Aquarium, London, for forty
i've days without food.
