That Remarkable Sheep.

Some of the most singular plants In
the world are the vegetable sheep Of
New Zealand. These are known to
science as raoulia eXimia, and al
though they are of such strange hab-
it of growth they are members of the
daisy tribe. The vegetable sheep grow
at high attitudes, usually on some
bleak mountain slope, which may be
5000 feet above sea level. The whole
plant is compact mass of stems
densely covered with small woody
leaves. So closely do the raoulias re-
semble sheep that experienced shep-
herds will often climb long way up
the mountain, thinking that they see
some missing member Of their flock
huddled against rock, only to dis
cover that they have been deceived by
plant! During a recent exhibition
ut Christchurch, in New Zealand, some
specimens of the vegetable sheep were
collected for the show. The plants
are often large and heavy, and it re-
quired the efforts of half a dozen
strong men to secure some fine exam
pies of raoulias.

SOCIETY HAD HIGH IDEALS
Order of Fools, Founded in 1881, Was
Not by Any Means What Its
Name Would Indicate.

On November IL, 1881, the associ-
alton known as The Order of Fools
was said to have been founded by
Adolphus, count Of Cloves, under the
| title, "D'Order Want Geeken Gesells-
chap" Though bearing a designation
sayoring too strongly of contempt, the
members of this order were composed
OF noblemen and gentlemen of the
highest rank and renown, who in this
way formed themselves into a body for
humane and charitable purposes. They
were In no way connected with the
Feast of Fools and similar absurdi-
ties OF medieval times. They were not
dissimilar to the Odd Fellows, For
esters and other similar organizations
OF the present day, which include with

lent and useful as well as convivial
and social objects.
The insignia borne by the knights
Of this order consisted of a Jester or
fool, embroidered on the left side Of
their nantes and depicted dressed in
red and silver vest, with a cap and
bells on his head, yellow stockings, a
cup filled with fruits In his right hand,
and In his left, gold key, as a symbol
OF the affection which ought to exist
among the members of the society.
They met once year at Cleves on
the first Sunday after Michaelmas day

was held extending over seven days.
and al matters relating to the well
fare and conduct Of the order were
discussed.

FIRST OF SEEDLEss ORANGES
Fruit That is New So Much Priced
Was Brought to This Country
From Brazil.

In 1872 United States consul to
Bahia (BraziD, W. f. Judson, was told
by the natives that 60 miles inland, up
the Amazon, were native orange trees
bearing fruit without seeds. Accord
ingly he sent natives after tree shoots
and some of the fruit.
The shoots were packed in moss
and clay and sent to Washington.
They were set out by the agricultural
department, but attracted little atten-
ton until tht next year, when Horatio
Ifbbetts Of Riverside, Cal, took the
surviving four shoots to his home and
planted them. One died and another
was eaten up by COW. At the end Of
five years the two surviving trees bore
10 handsome seedless oranges. Next
year the oranges were even better, and
the trees bore about box of the fruit.
From that time on the cultivation Of
the seedless oranges about Riverside
progressed rapidly. AS there were no
seeds to raise the trees from 1t was
found necessary to graft buds of the
seedless trees into seeding trees.
riverside has grown from small
village to a town of $4,000 acres de-
voted to the cultivation of navel or
anges. 1t Is the greatest orange pro-
ducing locality in the world. The two
original trees were fenced about and
carefully guarded lest harm should
come to them, and they are now en-
Joying green old age.

Weeping Stove Pipes.

Weeping stove pipes, from the joints
Of which a tarlike liquid leaks out, is
often a difficult trouble to remedy. 1t
Is due to insufficient draft. The smoke
moving slowly through the pipes con-
lenses, and the liquid so formed oozes
out at the joints of the pipes. Some
lines having the pipes on an incline,
upwards towards the chimney, will
increase the draft. Some find that
l little opening in the pipe next the
chimney, with sliding cover, In
creases the draft up the chimney,
when open, and so causes the smoke
20 pass out quickly. 1t all comes to
this: Increase the draft and the heat
Of the pipes, and so cause the smoke
20 pass out so quickly that it cannot
cool and condense in the pipes.

Made First Cash REGISTER.

A man named Jacob Ritty, a mer-
chant Of Dayton, O., took a vacation
trip to Europe. While crossing on the
steamer. he sauntered one day into the
engine room and noticed device that
mechanically recorded the number of
revolutions of the propeller shaft. I'M
mediately came the Idea to the mind
of Mr.. Ritty: "Why not invent a ma
chine that would record each coin put
into the cash drawer?" When he re-
turned home he invented the first
leash register" John II. Patterson
was keeping grocery store In small
town so miles from Dayton. He heard
of the Ritty contriva1ce, sent an or
der for one, and that was the
inventors first order. The machine
was crude, bat 1t interested Mr.. Pat
terson and he saw how 1t could be per-
fected. ''If it's good for my store" he
argued, "why not for all stores?"
Forthwith he went to Dayton. bought
the Ritty interest out, and started the
National Cash Register Co., which has
now 100000 machines and every
year turns out more than 10000 cash
registers.

the birds started to drive them Off.

Ones Accustomed Ways of Doins
Thlnse Need Not Be Accepted az
Necessarily the Best.

The idea that a wooden leg or a
false hand can be clapped onto a
wounded man and the case dismissed
with blessing is a thing of the dis
tant past. A wooden hand is good for
very little except to look respectable
In the street. The thing for which
the doctors are striving is to give
back to the injured man not a hand
but the work Of hand.
And this opens possibilities. The
work of hand may be done in an ex-
raordinary number of ways. Some
times 1t is managed by a steel rod
with tools clamped to it; sometimes
by a strong iron claw. Some of the
most eager thinkers are asking:
IF we are to differ from Nature
at all why not differ altogether? Why
not replace one arm by two steel rods,
or even three. so long as they can be
usefulw
Men learn that the old motions by
which they have been accustomed to
get things done are not necessarily the
only ones. A farmer with one arm
can use a shovel; he simply has an
implement with longer handle, which
goes through a strap at his waist.
Then the one arm does nothing but
press down on the handle and the
shovelful of earth is lifted just as well
as by the old method.

PROCURE OIL FROM BIRDS
inhabitants Of the Island of ST. KIlda
Are Especially Favored In Re-
spect of Light.

The price Of coal oil is a matter of
no interest to the inhabitants of the
Island of st. Kilda, a favorite haunt
OF that animated oil can, the fulmar,
observes the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. So rich in oil is this sea
bird that the natives simply pass a
wick through Its body and use 1t as q
lamp.
The oil is also one of the principal
articles exported from the island.
1t is found in the birds stomachs, is
amber colOred and has a peculiarly
nauseous odor. The old birds are said
to feed the young with it, and when
they are caught or attacked they light
en- themselves by disgorging it.
In st. Kilda it is legal to kill the full
mars only during one week In the
year; but during that week from $4,000
to 10000 birds are destroyed.
The mutton bird of the Antarctic
also carries its oil in the stomach and
can eject this oil through the nostrils
as means Of defense against enc
mics.
Quantities Of mutton birds are
slaughtered every year for their oil on
the coasts Of Tasmania and New Zea-
land. In its composition and proper

Primitive Station

There is In England a railway sta

way a week-at Blackwell Mill, stu

and Buxton. Blackwell Mill consists
Of eight workmen's cottages on the
banks of the Wye. They are occupied
by railway workmen, and 1t is for the
convenience of the wives who wish to
journey to Buxton for marketing that
on Friday mornings the 9:10 train
from Miller's Dale stops at Blackwell
Mill. The two uncovered platforms of
the station are of the length of a
railway coach, and composed of rough
stone and gravel. The waiting room"
