SUNFLOWERS FACING THE SUN.

Mr. C. A. White writes to Nature: “While tne fact that sunfl >wers turn their faces toward the sun in its ouree during the day Is a< o’d as our knowledge of the plant, I am net aware that any record has been made as to the time of night they turn to the east again after their obeisance to the setting sun. One evening during a short slay at a villuge in Colorado, In thesumm>r of 18SI. I took a WHlk along the bank, of a large irrigating ditch just. as tba suu was setting. The wild variety of Heliantbus annus. Lin., grew abund antly there, and I observe ! that the broad faces of all the flowers were, as usual in the clear sunset, turned to the west. Returning by »he same path less thaD hu h >ur aferward, and immediately after the daylight

was gons. I found, to uiy surprise, that much the greater part «>f those lowers had already turned t.ieir faces full to the east in untici - pation, as it were, of the sun's risiag. They had in that -»hcrt time retraced the senn-cirel«-. la rue traversing of which with tne sin (hey had spent the whole day Both th<» day and night were cloudless, and apparently no unusual conditions existed that might have exceptionally affected the movement of t.ie flowers.

“I doubt not l «t mat y persons like myee f hav< supposed snoflow* ers remain all night with their faces to the west, as they are when the sunlight leaves them, and until-they are constrained by the light of the rising sun to turn tn the east again. It is not my purpose to offer my explanation of the cause of the phenomenon here recorded, but it seemi to me improbable that it could have been exceptional instance: and I only regret that no opportunity has since occurred to me to repeat the observation.”

Don’t Forget It! —R. F. Priest & Bro. have the latest style Shoes in the market—the Oscar Wilde. They are beauties.

Mr, J. J. Waterbury will sell his house and lots, but will carry on the Merchant Tailoring business in Rens selaer just the same as usual. He has on hand as good goods as is kept in any merchant Tailor Shop in the State.

THE HEIGHT OF FOLLY.

To wail until you are in bed with disease you may-noi get over for months, is the height « f folly, when you might be easily cured during the early symptoms by Parker’s Ginger Tonic. We have known sickly fimiiks made the healthiest, by a timely use of this ptj e medicine. —O b-erver. “Honesty is Money at Interest.” —A maxim used by Priest Bros. A new invention f>r build) purposes is called “ terra-cotti lumber." It is a kind of brick s > soft that it can be sawed and worked with edge tools as well as wood, and nails can be driven into it and hold as well as in wood. Its makers claim that it has tenacity ami resistance to strain greater than oak lU'iibct It is made of a kind of clay found in abundance in Now Jersey Hud elee vhe re. is as cheap as brick, ai d has many oilier advantages as a tire-proof euildiug material. —Colfax Chronicle.
