His garden isn't all seen from the
street, although the sweet fragrance
and multi-colored blossoms make his
home one that travellers inquire about.
Among the plants noted in cursory
glance about his grounds is kind Of
Blue spruce, which originated in this
country, and yet afterwards became
so scarce that Americans buy the
shrubs from thrifty Germany, which

beautiful drive for a longer trip is to
take the transcontinental road east to

Another interesting trip is to go out
Broad street for six miles, turn to the
right for Nickerson, cross the Elkhorn
and wind up a very steep climb to
Fontanelle, one of the oldest towns
in the state, and which narrowly
escaped being the capital of the state.

HospitaIity In Greece.

Hospitality as understood in the west is not characteristic of the Greeks, who in their own country rare ly invite friends to their tables, In her Greece of the Hellenes" Miss Lucy Garnets relates how on one oc- casion she and q friend were invited into the suburbs of Greece by a Gre elan lady who was giving a birthday tea to her young son and his play mates. My share of the entertain ment," says Miss Garnets, consisted in watching the little lions feed, for neither a cup of tea nor a slice of the birthday cake came my way or the way of my companion, whose hospital ity the hostess herself frequently en- joyed." This apparent niggardliness is, of course, entirely due to the GUS tom of the country. The writer adds that the same hostess on coming to England entertained like the average Briton.-London Chronicle.

Gettinn Into a scrape.

Many years ago the wild deer that roamed through the forests of England used to dig holes in the earth with their forefeet. They paved 1t out sometimes to the depth of several inches, sometimes a foot or more. These holes were called "scrapes." and travellers at dusk or night or those who were careless about their footing often tumbled into them. They were laugh ed at for their heedlessness when they came home covered with mud. and as this frequently occurred after they had been imbibing bit they were said to have "got into a scrape." Some Cam bridge students took up this expres- sion, and thus it came to be applied to people who had got into difficulties of various sorts.

The First Bomb.

The bomb came into being during the troublous times in France toward the close of the eighteenth century. Its inventor was a French fanatic named Chevalier, who had conceived such an intense hatred of Napoleon that he de- termined to kill him.
 Being employed at a government small arms factory, he had gained some knowledge of explosives, and with this knowledge he managed to construct a bomb out of barrel, which he filled with mixture of powder, bullets, bro ken glass and white arsenic.
 Chevaliers idea was for the bomb to explode under Napoleon's carriage as it passed through the streets of Paris. A miscalculation, however, caused it to go off a few seconds too soon.
 Had Chevalier succeeded in his oh- ject the whole history of Europe would of course have been changed.-Pear- sons Weekly

Human Sacrifices.

In battle the Aztecs strove to save life so that they could use their pris- oners as human sacrifices to the gods. They had the art of ambush reduced to such n science that it was nothing un- usual for them to bring home 25,000 prisoners after campaign. Their bat ties were not fought for the sake of any principle, nor yet to gain territory. They fought in order to capture prison CTS, and the hot headed young soldiers were given wooden swords, for fear they might in the heat of battle unwit- tingly slay n foe. A dead enemy was already dead, and hence of no value for sacrificial purposes. Were the Az tees humans? We'll, not so that you could notice. But their destruction of prisoners on the altars of their beauti- ful temples was done in the name of religion and hence not reprehensible.- St Louis Globe Democrat.

There is venomous snake on that island by the name of amagasahcki. so called from its umbrella-like head. This snake is generally found i'll watery places, often in a ditch flowing out of a kitchen. A maid working in kitch. en is not infrequently startled at the ugly appearance of the snake. The animal makes a peculiar noise by the nimble movement of it's tongue. 4 slight touch of It's fangs is fatal. A native of the island was bitten by the snake in the thumb. A doctor who treated the wound made a simple ap- plication. The man returned homo, thinking the wound would soon be cured, but to his consternation his arm had swollen up. He soon lost sight and hearing. Next morning he was dead. East and West News.

Animal and Plant Life In Brine.

Just west of Promontory Point sta tion, Utah, is n pond cut off from the Great Salt lake by the railroad em- bankment. At times of high water in the lake this reservoir fills by pereola- tion through the embankment, but dur ing the summer this water is concen- trated to brine by evaporation. The deep pink color of the brine is phe- nomenon that appears in salt ponds generally when a certain concentration is reached. In the salt ponds of San Francisco bay this color is due to q certain bacillus which lives in satu- rated primes and also in the heaps of salt as it Is piled for drainage and shipment. Prohibitive to life as such an environment might be considered. strong natural primes are, in fact, in habited by a number of minute organ isms, animals as well as plants The pink color disappears in winter or when fresh water is introduced into the pond.-United States Geological Survey.

Test For a Field Glass.

Inquiry has it that the absolute and infallible test of field glass by the purchaser is to see what size letters can be read across the street from the opticians shop.
 It isn't. The real test is to climb up a long and bushy hill until the breath comes a hundred to the minute. then snatch for the glass, reposing in a shirt pocket, to see whether the buck is the one you want before you fire. If it won't go in your shirt pocket it is not the glass you want; others are made that will If 1t shakes in your agitated hands it Is not the glass you want You cannot see enough rSn' with a high power glass to pay for the times when 1t is unusable, because you cannot hold it steady.-outing.

Seeing Around Corners.

There are many insects which have a very much larger field of vision than we have. This is due to the greater concavity of their eyes, enabling them to see around the corner, so to speak behind and at the sides. This devel- opment in man would have its objec- tionable points, but also it's good ones, not the least of which might be the detection of pickpockets.-Chambers JOurnaI
