Odd South African Plant.

A remarkable family Of plants are
the observation-disclosures which are
confined chiefly to the dry districts of
South Africa. Other curious fleshy-
leaved South African plants are the
stepelias, which cater for the likes
of certain carrion-loving flies, by the
simple process Of having brown and
purple leathery flowers with an I'm.
pleasant odor. Some Of the most re-
markable denizens of the plant world
are found in the extensive cactus fam.
lily. An interesting feature of these
plants is found in the wonderful flow.
ers which many of them develop. In
some cases these are Of immense size
and Of most brilliant colOrs. These
flowers only bloom for a very short
time, and some kinds only open at
night. ......

Diamond Cutters,

The boy who aspires to be dia-
mond cutter has to- enter into linden
lures of apprenticeship for seven
years. He becomes a wage Garner
right away, however. AS he progresses
his earnings increase, and there are
youths not out Of their apprenticeship
earning as much as S19.46 and $21.9O a
week. The experienced craftsmen may
earn anything up to $4S.65. The ex-
pertinent Of teaching discharged and
disabled soldiers has been quite sue
cess. The men are put on wage
earning basis at once, though for the
first u months the value of their
labor is practically negligible. Thence
forward, however, an apt learner will
60 ahead rapidly. There are fixed time
rates, but a production bonus makes
earnings mainly dependent on individ-
ual ability and industry.

lceIandic History.

For 400 years Iceland was an aristo-
cratic republic. ruled by the great fam
flies of the, early settlers, among whom
was a Morse queen Of Dublin. A IA
days open air parliament Of all Ice
land met annually in June at Thing
vellir, and the speaker of the law
Cog-soguman) used to recite from
memory the whole Of the unwritten,
elaborate laws of the country to the
assembly. In 1262-1264 Iceland was
united to Norway, and in 1880 with
Norway to Denmark. The Danish rule
ruined the island economically, but
since the granting Of self-government
and the re-establishment of the old
parliament, in 1874, at Reykjavik,
great progress has been made.-Na-

All In a Fit,

Just recently, while attending mar
rage Of newly wed acquaintance of
mine, I happened to be in the grill
room, surrounded by my friends and
enjoying myself to the full extent.
Unconscious of the brides presence,
remarked: "John will lead a dogs

for three years before they married"
Presumably the guests had overhead

Self-DiscipIine.

Marion Crawford had a violent tenn
per as boy and he decided to get it
in hand. One member of his family
constantly irritated him to the verge of
frenzy, and he invented a form of self
discipline which very few children
would have thought Of imposing on
themselves. His mother entered his
room one day and found him walking
around it, carrying on his back a heavy
wooden shutter which he had lifted off
its hinges at the window. "AIy dear
child" she exclaimed, "what are you
doing?" Getting over rage" he
replied, doggedly, continuing the exer-
else. "When am so mad that want
to kill somebody come in here and
carry the shutter three times around
the room before I answer them. It is
the only way."-Ladies' Home Journal.

Panama's Mahoqany,

The mahogany Of Panama is tree
sometimes reaching a height of nearly
200 feet and six feet thick. It often
grows in clumps so that it is not I'M
common to find it to the number Of
10000 large trees to the square mile.
Such q forest Of mahogany, however,
is rare. although there are OCCASION
ely places Of this sort. AS a general
rule, the mahogany occurs in scattered
clumps, so that an average of two or
three such big trees as those above
mentioned per ,Acre is the most that
timber men would expect to find.

Following is by Henry Lindlahr.
NJ. D.: "The danger of life from bites
and stings Of poisonous reptiles and in
sects have been greatly exaggerated.
According to popular opinion, anyone
bitten by poisonous insect or reptile,
as the rattlesnake, ella monster or
tarantu1a, is doomed to die, while as
a matter Of fact statistics show that
only from 2 to per cent Of such cases
prove fatal. In this, as in many other
