horns ami also for drums. From Travnncore comes a quaint plant called the cerberus, which has a milky, poisonous juice. The unripe fruit is used by the na ives to destroy dops, as its action causes their teeth to loosen and fall out. Th : leaves of the so-called American aloe are made into razor strops and are also employed for cleaning' and scouring' pewter. Quite a wonderful tree is the calabash of the West Indies, which bears enormous fruits that resemble pumpkins, which grow to be nearly two feet in diameter. With the pulp removed they serve various purp ses—for carrying water and even as kettles for cooking— having the great advantages of strength and lightness. Another queer plant in the collection belongs to the pea family and is called the “moving plant,” on account of the manner in which its leaves turn around of their own accord or go by jerks without being touched or in any way disturbed. Sometimes only one or two leaves on a plant will be affected; at other times they will all perform jumps and gyrations simultaneously. It is observed that the movements are most energetic when the thermonjeter marks about eighty degrees. The “dumb cane” is so called because its fleshy, cane-like stems render speechless anyone who may happen to bite them. In the West Indies grows the silk cotr ton or gold tree, the fruit of which is a very beautiful silky fiber, highly elastic and used for stuffing cushions. An interesting specimen is the pippul tree of the Hindoos, which is held in such veneration that it is considered a crime to cut off one of the branches. There is also a toothbrush tree from Jamaica. Toothbrushes are made from it by cutting pieces of the stem to convenient lengths and fraying the ends. It also supplies, conveniently enough, an excellent tooth powder, which is prepared by pulverizing the dried stems. This wonderful vegetable assemblage includes the celebrated henna plant of the east, the powdered leaves of which are commonly utilized as a cosmetic in Asia and northern Africa. The practice has descended from very remote ages, as is proved by the Egyptian mummies, the parts dyed being usually the finger and toe nails, the tips of the fingers, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. The reddish tint produced is considered highly ornamental by Oriental belles. In Brazil there grows a tree which has hard urn-shaped fruits, known as monkey cups. They contain edible nuts, and the husks are very peculiar, being six inches in diameter and having regular lids which fit them closely aud separate when the seeds are mature. The snake tree of Guiana is so called because the seed is twisted in a manner to resemble a coiled serpent. For this reason the Indians employ the nuts as an antidote for snake poison. Another curiosity is the papyrus of Asia, which yielded the substance used us paper by the ancient Egyptians. For this purpose the wood of the reed stem was cut in slices, which were placed side by side, according to the size of sheet required. After being wet and beaten with a wooden instrument until smooth they were pressed anil dried in the sun. A queer plant is a native of Madagascar. Formerly the seeds, which are very poisonous, were administered to persons accused of crime. If the individual was innocent the dose excited vomiting and ids recovery was looked upon as satisfactory vindication, but when retained in the stomach it quickly proved fatal and guilt was then established. The vegetable ivory plant of South America is a well-known commercial article. Its seeds at first contain a clear, insipid liquid, which changes by degrees until it becomes as hard as ivory, for which it is used as a

substitute.

most entirely made up of injurious mammals. In the west it feeds largely on pouched gophers, aud the stomach contents of many individuals examined have revealed little else than the remains of these rodents. To appreciate properly the services of this owl it must be remembered that pouched gophers are among the most, if not the most, destructive mammals which inhabit this country. In various other localities it feeds extensively on the common rat. The great horned owl, which in the east is persistent in its utj tacks on poultry and game, kills immense numbers of rabbits in rabbit-in-fested parts of the west, where its assistance is invaluable to the farmer. It is much addicted to eating skunks, of which it devours great numbers wherever these objectionable animals are common.

WOLSEY AS A COLLECTOR.

Klnx Ilcnry’a Mlnlater Had a I’lianion for

Tapestry, Pictures, Etn.

Cardinal Wolsey must have been a champion among collectors. It is told of him that If Quentin Matsys hail a picture on the easel Wolsey was ready to purchase it. If there was a curious clock it was secured for him. His fondness for tapestry amounted to a passion, according to the Boston Transcript. Trusty agents ransacked the continent to procure choice sets of arras, new and old, for the rising palace. If the owner generally preferred Scriptural subjects, as became a prince of the churchy ho also collected many hangings wrought with scenes front classic or medieval story. Thus, while the walls of one chamber set forth the history of Samuel or David or Esther, those of another glowed with the labors of Hercules, the woes of Priam, or the Komanite of the Rose. In the rooms where he received visitors the tapestries were changed once a week. No less than two hundred and eighty boils were provided for strangers, with superb canopies and curtains of silk or velvet. There were bedsteads of alabaster, quilts of down and pillow cases embroidered with silk and gold. The chairs of state were covered with cloth of gold; the tiTblcs and cabinets were of the most costly woods. Much of the splendid furniture was emblazoned with his anus; everywhere was impressed the cardinal’s hat. The same magnificence appeared in the decorations and ornaments of the chapel. But the forty-four gorgeous copes of one suit, and the rest of the sacerdotal pomp displayed there were eclipsed by the majesty of Wolsey's secular equipment. The annual expenses of his household exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, an immense sum for those days. His retinue of five hundred persons, his kingly stud, his sumptuous open table are mentioned in every history. When he rode to and from Westminster in his character of lord chancellor Ids mule was attended by a long train of nobles and knights on horseback; his pursuivant, ushers and other officers led the way in rich liveries, while footmen with gilded pole-axes

brought up the rear.

An A|>c Which Provide* Fuel. A telegraph operator on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, who was given a hideous ape by a friendly sea captain, has at last found a very profitable use for the animal. Ills house is near the railroad track, and in the yard he erected a high pole whereon the brute could disport himself. Looking out of his window one day, he saw a train come along, and from the tender of the engine a perfect volley of good-sized lumps of coal flew in the direction of the ape, who was making most hideous grimaces anil insulting gestures for the benefit of the engineer and fireman. They returned the compliment with showers of the best bitu-

most resolved to invest the five thousand dollars in Missouri Pacific. The attorney, mistaking her announced resolution for irony, laughed, but the

woman of wealth persisted.

“It is but five thousand dollars," she said, “and if I lose I shall have just a* much to eat as I have always had and just as much to wear. I f the plans betrayed by these two directors work out I shall make u good deal of money

buying Missouri Pacific.”

The attorney obeyed the instructions of his client, invested the five thousand dollars, and in less than one month the proposed consolidation was consummated and the Hartford widow realized for her five-thousand-dollar investment $250,000. At the first blush this incident is set down as proof of luck, but the Cincinnati Times-Star holds that there was no luck about it. It was simply an unexpected exhibition of what in Wall street vernacular is termed “nerve" on the part of a quick-eared and quicker-witted woman. Not one person in ten thousand would have given any heed to the conversation referred to, and not one of a thousand who might have heard and heeded and who happened to have the money, as flic widow had it, would have dared invest it. These incidents and illustrations might be expanded until volumes were filled. The evidence would be cumulative that eyesand oars and brain make what the thoughtless term luck.

Patent medicines differ—One has reasonableness, another has not. One has reputation another has not. One has confidence, born of success—another has only “hopes.” Don’t take it for granted that all patent medicines are alike. They are not. Let the years of uninterrupted success and the tens o’thousands of cured and happy men and women, place Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription on the side of the comparison to which they belong. And there isn’t a state or territory, no-uor hardly a country in the world, whether its people realize it or not, but have men and women in them that're happier because of their discovery and their effects.

NOT ALWAYS GENEROUS.

One Striking Case When Meanness Was Exhibited hy Lovely Woman. Lovely woman can be mean sometimes, observes a writer in Kate Field’s Washington. The other day a young, pretty and well-dressed lady was walking down the avenue, evidently enjoying to the full the delicious spring sunshine. Suddenly she seemed In distress. For awhile the cause was not obvious, but as she began to make frantic efforts to reach iher untied shoe the passers-by recognized the source of her discomfort. Before she had succeeded in reducing the flapping shoestrings to order a ragged little colored boy stepped forward, removed his tattered hat, knelt in the muddy street, and tied the shoe with grace and dexterity. In the woman's hand were a cardcasc aud a chubby looking little purse, but she walked away with merely a “thank you,” and that not very graciously given. The boy looked slightly astonished as he got up aud brushed the mud from his ragged trousers. On the edge of the sidewalk stood an observant man, very plainly but decently dressed. He had watched the entire performance with quiet enjoyment: and as the boy rose he took from his p ii'ket a bit of paper, and penciling it word or two on it called to the disappointed young Raleigh, jvho was turning away: “Here, boy, run after that young lady whose shoe you tied and give her this. Here's a quarter for your trouble. There’s no answer.” The boy went in one direction, the man in the other. I am not curious above the average, but I would have liked to see that bit of paper. Getting the Mitten. The Boston Transcript thus explains the phrase “getting the mitten:” One hundred years ago gloves were unknown in the country towns. Mittens were knitted and worn in all families. If a young man going home from singing school with the young girl of his choice was holding her mittened hand to keep it from getting cold, and took that opportunity to urge his suit, if the offer proved acceptable the hand would remain. If taken by surprise an effort to withdraw the hand would leave the mitten. So the suitor would “get the mitten,” but would not get the hand. The use of the word “muff,” meaning a foolish, blundering person, also has an easy explanation. A stupid youth was said to be a ‘'muff” because, like the article of feminine wear called by that name., lie held a woman’s hand without squeezing it. The sedate old times were not without their gallantries.
