this husband was only twenty-eight

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every bot

cannfbal Plant.

In the Indian territory is a remark
able parasite called the air plant. One
will frequently find the ground cov-
cred with what seems luxuriant vege-
tation, for this plant has rich foliage
Of deep and abundant green. However,
If one lifts one Of these little twigs
he will find it attached to strong
woody stem. Continuing to lift it
and following it for yards, he will find
that the vine is not clinging to any
thing, but is simply lying upon other
plants, and if he follows it it's whole
length he will come to the other end
Of the stem, without root and attached
to nothing.
Under the plant will be only dead
twigs and stems Of other vegetation,
for nothing can live under this life
sapping vine.

Cuts the Worlds Whiskers.

q The American safety razor is given
the credit of having conquered the
Spanish beard. On account of the
heaviness of their boards, the Spanish
men generally shave much less than
those Of other countries and the re-
suit was they presented a rather I'M
shorn appearance. The visit to the
barber was a serious matter and the
Spaniard selected his barber as other
men would select dentist, the one
that was least painful. But the
American safety razor is said to have
overcome this and the men are not
only enabled to shave themselves, but
to shave more frequently.
