Flowers in the Tropics.

There can be no greater mistake than to assume that the flowers of the tropical forests are chiefly odorless, and that tropical birds have no song. It is only necessary to read Humboldt, Waterton, and other great travelers, to have this impression removed. If one live for months in those southern forests, as the writer has done, he will find that the air is overladen with the perfume es flowers, and frequently vocal with the song of birds. “A light breeze from the forest,” writes one who has climbed to the Mexican table-land, “often conveys a perfect cloud of most delicious odors to the wanderer.” Odors of orange, lime and citron, tuberoses, violets, and magnolias, permeate the air, especially in the gardens of the coast and the temperte region. Almost the first greeting extended to Cortez, when he entered the walled city of Campoalla, was accompanied with a present of flowers, and the Mexican nobles always carried nosegays in which they took great delight. In the religious ceremonies of the Mexicans, even in the bloody rites of the Aztecs, flowers played an important part Flowers and fruit were the offerings made in the worship taught by the culture-hero, Quetzalcoatt. The Spanish priests, in their anxiety to secure converts, in the years succeeding the conquest, allowed the Indians to retain many of their ancient forms of worship, least objectionable of which was the expression of their adoration through the medium of flowers. It is related that long after the overthrow of the Aztec war god, the terrible Huitzilopochtli, the Indians would visit him by stealth and decorate his prostrate form with garlands of flowers. The markets of Mexico are filled with flowers. They bloom here all the year round; from the high plains of Tlascala to the borders of the sea may be traced that blossoming of the beautiful that pervades all nature, whether the country be visited in January or in June, in August, or December. This love for flowers, this redeeming trait of the Aztec character, has survived oppression of three hundred years—three centuries of Spanish taskmasters have failed to efface it. The Aztecs had feasts of flowers, as well as the ancients of Europe and the East, and for every plant they had a name, in which its peculiar quality or virtue was expressed. The Mexican artists painted them so accurately that these pictures served the learned Hernandez in the formation of his great work on the flora of Mexico, a work that has stood the criticisms of all writers to the present day. Bo desirous were the Mexican rulers to possess all the rare and beautiful plants in their kingdom, that they formed gairdens and conservatories, and made long expeditions in search of them. A single flower was the cause of war between Montezuma andMalinally, lord of the Miztecs, in 1507, if we may believe the Aztec traditions. Among the many flowers which embellish the meads and adorn the gardens of Mexico, there is one which was considered sacred by the Aztecs, and is to-day one of the most curiously shaped in the world. It is called the Macphalxochitl, or “hand flower.” It is of the shape of a bird’s foot, or the hand of a monkey, and is, or was recently, still shown in the botanic garden of Mexico as a great curiosity.— Fred A. Ober, in Good Cheer.

The Home of the Codfish.

What a marvelous influence upon civilization and human progress the humble but nutritious codfish has had. He has been a mine of wealth to a vast population. It seems that good Mother Nature, foreseeing the needs of humanity, has made special preparations for a good supply of this very necessary article of food for body and brain, and floated her icebergs, which were filled with the sandy bottom of Northern seas, down to the Gulf Stream, where they melted and. deposited their debris, forming the Grand Bank of Newfoundland. It was the work, the slow and toilsome work, of ages. Every sprung thousands of these bergs, one-tlmrd above the water and two-thirds below, the upper part clear, sparkling and translucent, reflecting the sunshine and giving it back to the enraptured eve ' with that prodigality and brilliancy of coloring which only nature can affeed, the lower part mixed with the coast bottom of Greenland and Labrador, to the eiitent of thousands of cartloads, came floating down majestically through Davis Strait, and, meeting the waa-m air and warm water of the Gulf Stream, melted and deposited their contributions until those immense shoals were formed, where the cod and haddock swarm. And it is said that these sandbanks foave huge depressions like vast valleys, which serve as aquaria, and that. wihan a vessel is lucky enough to anchor over one of them, it can fill its hold and .deck with as many as it can carry. For generations, the inhabitants of Newfoundland, and tiie venturesome folks wlio live all along the New England coast, get their daily bread or lay up a competency from this never-failing source of wealth. What a vast number of people on the globe get their living out of and subsist principally on the invaluable cod, and what vast quantities have been landed by the fishing fleet of Gloucester since her fishermen first engaged im the business.—Fisherman's Own Book.

Lincoln’s Nomination Over Seward.

It is one of the contradictions not infrequently exhibited in the movement of partisan bodies, that Mr. Seward was defeated because of his radical expressions on the slavery question, while Mr. Lincoln wag chosen in spite of expressions far mere radical than those of Mr. Seward. The “irrepressible conflict" announced by Mr. Seward, at Rochester, did not go so far as Mr. Lincoln’s declaration, at Springfield, that “the union could not exist half slave, half free." Neither Mr. Seward nor Mr. Lincoln contemplated the destruction of the Government, and yot thousands had been mado to believe that Mr. Seward made the existence of the Union depend on the abolition of slavery. Mr. Lincoln had announced the same doctrine in advance of Mr. Seward, with ft directness and blunt-

ness which could not be found in the more polished phrase of the New York Senator. Despite these facts, a large number of delegates from doubtful States—delegates who held the control of the convention— supported Mr. Lincoln, on the distinct ground that the anti-slavery sentiment which they represented was not sufficiently radical to support the author of the speech in which had been proclaimed the doctrine of an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery.— Blaine’s Twenty Years in Congress.

“Jack,” the Evangelist

Some years ago there lived in Hannibal, Mo., an old lame darkey named Jack, who made frequent excursions to the surrounding country to preach the gospel to the colored population. One Sunday, after having preached an eloquent discourse, he raised one of his big scaly, splay feet and rested it upon a bench in front of him and said: “De ole man hab walked fifteen miles ober stones and grabbel jes’ fo’ de good of yo’ souls, an* he dussen’t spec’ nuffin fur it in dis town, but if you wonld'jis’ lone hftn a pair ob ole shoes de Lod would bress an’ prospah you.” The brethren not having brought any shoes to church took up a collection and handed him the proceeds. After pronouncing the benediction he placed his old “yaller” saddle-bags across his arm and hobbled off toward Hannibal. Having traversed a mile or two of the distance he diverged from the roud among the timber. One cf the brethren a short distance in the rear, noticing the maneuver, followed, and found Jack standing beside a hollow stump, with his hands resting upon his hips and his mouth stretched from ear to ear with laughter, lopking at his feet. “Well, dat’s jis a little de currisist ting I ebbah seed in all my bo’n day’s. I run a groun’ squirril into dat stump, an’ poked my ban’ in aftah him, an’ it lit slap dab right onto dem shoes. An’ de funniest ting is days jis zackly de ole man’s fit. B rudder Johnsing, de fingah ob Providence mus’ hab retted me to dat stump.” —Chicago Herald.

Fishing with a Flock of Geese.

In Scotland they have a curious way of fishing that takes the medal for the ease and repose with which it is conducted. The fisherman we will say is after pike. Selecting a big goose from his barnyard, or half a dozen geese, as the case may be, he ties a baited hook and line about five feet long to their feet, and on reaching the water turns them in. The birds of course swim out, and the fisherman lights his pipe and sits down. In a few minutes a fish sees the bait and seizes it, giving the goose a good pull. The bird starts for shore at full tilt, frightened half to death, dragging the fish upon the bank, when it is unhooked. The line being rebaited, the feathered fisherman is again sent out to try its luck. A flock of geese can make quite a haul in the course of a day, the human fishermen having only to take off the game and bait the hooks, the pulling in and hookirg being done by the birds. In Washington Territory, in the great salmon river, pigs have been seen to chase fish, diving for them under water. Pigs are not naturally lively under water, but they are said to pick up dead salmon in ten feet of water by diving. —New York Sun.

Miniature Trees.

The dwarf trees of China are the great curiosities of forestry. Every child knows how the Chinese cramp their women’s feet by bandaging them when they are infants, and thus render it impossible for them to walk. It is, however, wonderful to see miniature oaks, chestnuts, pines, and cedars growing in flower-pots, ZQ years old and yet not a foot high. A friend of mine, who is an invalid and confined to his room, has been, during several years past, amusing himself, among other matters, with the cultivation of dwarf trees, and he has succeeded admirably. Ho takes a young plant, cuts off its tap-root, and places it in a basin in which there is good soil kept well watered. If it grows too rapidly he digs down and shortens in several roots. Every year the leaves grow smaller, and the little dwarf trees make interesting pets, just as some people raise canary birds, and others, squirrels.

Living on $2.65 a Week.

I earn $2.40 a week, and the rent of my machine brings it up to $2.i65. Out of this I pay 75 cents for rent and 40 cents for food, clothes, medicine, car fare, theater tickets, and a box at the opera. Seriously, though, I buy a quarter <©f a pound of tea, a half a pound of sugar, one pound of oatmeal, one pint of beans, two 10-cent loaves of bread, ome soup bone, and perhaps it costs a couple of cents a week for salt, pepper, and herbs for my soup. I buy a quarter of a pound Of butter a week, and sometimes I get « little milk for my tea. —Sewing woman's statement in New York World.

Take Care of Your Eyes.

Sight is too priceless a gift to be abused with impunity, yet how frequently do we see adults as well as •children straining their eyes over books ■or work in file dim twilight. Both eyes should always be exposed to am equal degree of light, whose rays should pass over the shoulder on to the book or work engaging the attention. • 1 . ■ -rr “ 1 • ■■ - The Tarboro Southerner says that a pea-vine in that section, grown from an ordinary black pea, covers over two hundred square fast of ground. Onehalf the peas had been gathered, which numbered about 5,700 and measured a littlo more than three pints. This gives an increase frMh a single pea, provided the remainum portions of the vinq'Were equally jfipttOctive, Of more than ten thousandfold; Whether the large yield was due to the prolificacy of the pea as a variety, or to the fertility of tne soil is not stated, but it is demonstrated that we should not be content with the average yield in the face of such results. ■ ■ -i ....

Reform in Home Lifte.

Prof. Adler, of New York, wants to reform home life so that there will be less drudgery for woman, and more time and strength to devote to her own improvement and the “soul life” of her children. He thinks that some form of co-operative housekeeping may be devised to liberate the mother from her present slavery. It is possible that the labor of housekeeping might be considerably reduced by some form of cooperation, as it is now by the employment of public laundries; but it is not certain that the liberation of woman from labor would universally conduce to the moral and mental improvement of herself and her children. This is not a slur upon woman. Men who do not work are very liable to degenerate mentally, morally, and physically. The greatest help for woman would be to reduce the exactions of society, fashion, and custom, if such a thing could be done. Every new feature in modem society entails labor upon her. The more sewing maohines, the more tucks and frills. The more bric-a brae, the more sweeping and dusting. The more acquaintances, the more time wasted in formal calls. The truth of the matter is that the wife and mother, who really loves her children, does not ask to be relieved of the cares which make her habitation a home. She would rather work hard than make her house a phalanstery, and any improvement in housekeeping which tends to make her family any less a family, she would reject. The housewife earns her half of the family income, and until the husband is able to procure an income without labor the true wife will not shirk her share of the burden.—Springfield Union.

A Lucky Kangaroo Hunter.

One of the most daring kangaroo hunters of Australia, and his stag hounds, were terribly lacerated by a wounded kangaroo on the great sheep ranche of Mr. Alfred Hay, Boomanoomana, N. S. W., and were entirely cured hy the use of St. Jacobs Oil. Mr. Hay writes that it is the greatest pain cure ever introduced for man or beast.

Two of a Kind.

They were talking about Gus De Smith and Kosciusko Murphy in the Fizzletop family. Col. Fizzletop said that he considered them two of the brightest young men in Austin. Little Johnny spoke up and said: “Why, pa, Mr. De Smith hasn’t got any sense. The other day he thought I was a chip, and Mr. Murphy can’t count two.” “What do you mean, Johnny?” “Well, pa, I was riding out on my little donkey the other day, and I met Gus De Smith and Mr. Murphy. Mr. De Smith looked at me and said I was a chip of the old block.” “And what did Mr. Murphy say ?” “He put his hand on the donkey and said there were two chips of the old block. x Now, if I was a chip of the old block, how did he come to say there were two chips ? The donkey isn’t a chip of the old block, too, is he?” The “oldblock,” or rather Fizzletop, has not quite as good an opinion of those young men as he formerly had. —Texas Siftings.

A Common Act of Folly,

committed by persons whose stomachs arc disordered by the presence of bile, is to attempt to cause retching, and thus to eject it. A winog’asstul or two of that wholesome medicine, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, will tranquilize the digestive organs, and the Bitters’ subsequent cathartic effect upon the bow .'la will render tho relief complete. Nausea, fur upon the tongue headache, yellowness of the skin, costiveness, pain in the region of the liver and through the right shoulder blade, are the well-known indicia of liver complaint, and it is wise to disperse them with this searching remedy before they culminate in something worse. That ceaseless disturber of the stomach, indigestion, is also overcome by the Bitters, and it is a specific of acknowledged efficacy for fever and ague, bilious remitttnt and troubles of the kidneys and blsdt er. It is also highly beneficial in rheumatism, and infuses vigor into a system which requires building up. Reasonable persistence in its use Insures the end in view. No lasting power can be founded upon injustice, perjury, and treachery. Sometimes these vices may have a temporary success, and for a season'appear to be flourishing; but time will dissolve the delusion, and demonstrate tflrat the terrible and continued apprehension will be realized that a final ruin will be brought about by such means as caused their elevation.

Nervous, dyspeptic individuals, whose distress ot mini and body make lile miserable, it'.your sutterlugs have been prolonged and increased by the use of bitters and pretended cures of kiuney and liver diseases, throw all such nostrums aside and llnd health, strength and vigor in that simple remedy known as lir. Guysott's Yellow Pock and Sarsaparilla. It purities the blood, strengthens the urinary and digestive organs, and infuses new life into all parts of the body. No other remedy equals it.

Finding that I was not to l>o persuaded, he bought some of your Pnlmonto Syrup and Seaweed Tonlo himself, and brought themtoraa, lat first refused to touch them. I did not want to be experimented on, but finally consented! to use them merely to satisfy him, not that I expected, they would do mo any goon. I commenced taking the Pulmonic Nvrup and Seaweed Tonlo and. to my great surprise, felt almost Immediate relief, and was encouraged to continue using them. My condition Improved under tlielr use, until In time I grew perfectly well, no trace of tho disease remaining. My lungs had healed up and grew stronger tlma ever. I was permanently eurod, as I have had notrouble with my liings since that time. I owe my life entirely to your medicines. Nothing else saved me. I will bear cheerful testimony to the groat virtues possessed by your medicines. I know or several other coses here where your medicines have been used with entire suoeess.

From Mr. Harley P. Hopkins, of Providence, B. I. He It* Cared of Consumption by Dr. Sehenck’s Medicines, After Being Given Up to Die by Some of the Rest Physicians in the City. Dn.J.H. Sohenck: Dear 81r: I have been cured of what throe of the best physicians of this city told me was Consumption of the Lungs, by the use of your medicines. I wa* first attacked with the disease in October, 1880, and although I was from that time continually under thecare of a physician, I grew worso and worse, until at last I was confined to my bod. 1 can hardly sar that I wax first attacked with the disease in 18x0, for my lungs had been weak for many years previous tothis, and I would qnite often have severe pain in nwr breast. If I took the least cold, or exerted myself too much In any wsy. I grew worse, my cough became very bad; 1 had night sweats so severe that my bed through the night would be as wet as though water hud been thrown over me. I was continually raising blood and large nnsntft’e.s nf offensive matter from ray lungs, and st last had all the well-known symptoms ofConsumption in Its last stages. At the request of m.v family, my physician called in two other doctors of this city, ana they, after an examination, agreed that my case was liopeloMS. They inlormed my wife that I hod lietter be told that I could not live, as my time would l>e very short tor arranging my worldly affairs. They also said that no medicine would bo of any use to me. Tho next day my friend, Mr. H. I. Leith, hearing of my condition, sent me a bottle of your Pnlmqnlc Syrup, thinking it might relieve my cough, and make my expectoration easier. I began using it, never even hoping that If, would cure me, hut finding great relief from its nee. when the first bottle was gone I sent and got wore: so 1 continued it until I had used seven or eight bottles. All this time I was in bed, and was so weak that 1 had to be lifted. This was not a difficult thing to do, however, Ml only weighed about ninety pounds. A* I have said, l commenced the use of tho medicinewith no thought of its curing me, but after taking the eighth bottle I would sometimes feel a little hungry. »thing I had not before done for many months. I omitted to mention that after tuking tour or five tKitties of the Pulmonic Syrup I also began taking the Seaweed Tonic and I also took some of the Mandrake Pills. It is needless for mete give you an account of all my feelings during my recovery. Of eourso it was slow, but It was also sure. I gradually gained strength, the character of what I raisod from mv lungs waa dianged—not being so offensive—and at last I was ableto get up andswalk about my room. From this time my recovery wm rapid. I gained flesh fast, and soon, went outdoors, and now lam entirely well, u wop dee to all my acquaintances who saw me whim 1 was so low. I weld) 182 pound*, appetite good, and I can truly say that I never felt better in my life. I consider vonr medicines m wonderful in their effects. They have saved my life, and 1 feel so thankful to you that I cm anxious that aU who are suffering with lung troubles should know how good they are. Of course. I can give a bettor account of my case in tcllJug of it than in. writing, and if any who read this are interested, they are welcome to call on me at my residence. „ Vo;*™ truly, HARLEY P.
