Ficher Loses His Verdict. Last . Friday, at Kentjand Judge; Wiley rendered his decision in the Fisher w Lr N. Ar <fc C. Ry., case. As stated in a previous issue of this •paper, the jury at Kentland gave Henty Fisher, as administrator of the estate of* Ben j F. Fisher, a verdict for $4,500, provided tlie court fqnnd the law tp be with th# plaintiff. Judge Wiley’s finding, is that the law is with the defendant, aed that" therefore the railroad company is not liable. The decision as we understand it, not only d<>cs not give Foster any d.un-igi'S but throws the costs of the trial bpon rhim. But an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court, by the plaintiff, as we are reliably informed.

CARNATION CULTURE.

Something of the History of Its Wonders ful Development. f Long before the Christian era the carnation had become the favqrite of fashion of Greece and Rome. Owing to the tendency of the flower to develop into an entirely new form, very little effort was made in early times to cultivate it for size, but in 1613 a strain was discovered yielding blossoms 3y 2 inches in diameter. There is proof that blue carnations were produced in 1700, and as the yellow blossom has already existed, some speculative person ha? wondered why the blending of these primary colors has not already produced a natural green specimen. Since the middle pf the eighteenth century growers have been trying to “breed oft"’ the deep fringes on the edge of ' the petals,-making a round roselike leaf, and they have succeeded partially. ...Immigrant Huguenots ire credited with the introduction of tha carnation into tliis country. A half-hearted claim to a share in that, honor has been made in behalf of the pilgrims, but though these fair flowers certainly flourished in English gardens long ere Cromwell’s time, and the pilgrims did bring to America the “clove” or “Paisley.” pink end the sweet william, they did not bring the carnation. By whomsoever brought, the carnation was widely spread through American gardens. Up to eight years ago there were not, in all the United States, more than half a dozen men who knewmuch about carnation culture, and, even among thqse who 'essayed it, little disposition existed for any considerable investment of time, or capital in development of its possibilities. Consequently, our winter-bloomed carnations •,generally were second-rate flowers, poor in tints, small, short-stemmed and ragged looking by reason of their bursted calyces. Suddenly there dawned a new era, in which, with half a decade, has been accomplished more improvement in American carnations than was achieved in all the time pre- i ceding their introduction into the country. In 1891 the American Carhation society was organized, and took in not only professional growers, but lovers of the flower generally. Thus far it has had four exhibitions, in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Boston. The fifth was held in New York, and opened on February 11, 1896. The classification of carnations is extremely difficult. The American plan of dividing them into two great classes of summer and winter blooming is not a success; England finds trouble with her subdivision according to color, and France’s seven classes according to the use and habit of growth leaves several varieties unclaimed. In the last three years the number of kinds considered worthy of cultivation by the American Carnation society have increased from 420 to 562. Fifteen million of thi,s fragrant, spicy flower aWe used in one winter in New York city. In addition to this demand by the general public the Vanderbilts, tlie Goulds and several other rich families in the vicinity of New York have greenhouses devoted exclusively to forcing carnations.—Chicago News. •

FOOTBALL INCIDENT.

Indian “Revenge” for the Fort Duquesne Defeat of 1705. ... During the last football season, the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., sentj a team of' young red men into the field Which competed with credit against some of the strongest playing clubs in the country. Among other engagements they played a match with the Duquesne club in Pittsburgh, and came off victorious. The bearing of the Indian lads was so courteous and manly ns to win appla use from all the white spectators. After they returnedliome they received a cartoon from the defeated club, with a letter stating that it was “from some of the many friends whom tlie boys had made in Pittsburgh by your gentlemanly playipg.” The sketch was drawn with spirit, and represented at one side the contest between the red and the white men at Fort Duquesne in 1795, the Indians falling beneath the shots of the settlers. On the other side was their contest in 1895, the red man standing, football in hand, victorious over his white brother; and lastly, a picture of the captain of the Indian club, as he was carried, laughing, off the field in triumph by both shouting teams. Beneath was the suggestive word: “Revenge.” If the manliness and magnanimous courtesy of these Indian and white clubs" were sTiown fill Toothall players, the prejudice of many thoughtful men anef women against the game would be lessened, if not removed. When, instead of making men more brutpl, it teaches them self-control, good temper and the generosity which can applaud a victorious foe, its discipline is wholesome.—Youth’s Companion.

Curious Prehistoric Monkeys.

In several places in the Cape Colony and Orange Free State of South Africa caves have been explored which yielded hundreds of mummified remains of a queer species of six-fingered monkey. All of the full-grown specimens of this remarkable species of quadrumana have the tail situated high on the back —from three to five inches further up than that ,on the modern monkey—and other distinguishing such as two sets of canine teeth, beards on the males, etc. Whether these creatures were mummified by human beings, who formerly held them in reverence, orwere overtaken by sOme catastrophe, such as a sudden convulsion of nature or a cataclysm which entombed them in their caves,and thus preserved them, is a secret that can never be known.— Public Opinion. —Colored races never havo blue eyes. Their eyes are always dark* brown, brownish yellow or Hack.

PLANTS AND A MEAT DIET.

Darwin Makes a Daring Statement apd Supports It? by Experiment. ' : It has been proven time ami again that the so-called “cannibal pl.tnfts,” of which the Ven us-fly-trap is the type, are much more healthy when allowedtheir insect food than they are when reared under netting or m any other manner which excludes them from their, regular meat diet.*. The above is an oddity of itself, says the,St. Louis_ Republic? especially when we consider the fact that there is a certain school of botanists which teaches thatcannibal plants make no use whatever of the insect prey captured by them, but it is nothing compared with the bold assertion made by Francis Darwin. That noted scientific gentleman bravely meets the ’‘vegetarian botanists” with the assertion that all kinds and classes of plants, whether known as “meateaters” or not, bear more of the heavier fruits and seeds when fed on meat than those that are not allowed a flesh diet. He grew two lots, comprising various varieties .of the different common plants. One lot was regularly fed (through their roots, of course) with pure juices compressed from meat, the other with water and the various fertilizers. The final figures on this odd experiment proved that the plants which, were fed pure meat juice bore 168 fruits of the different kinds, while the unfed plants of the same number and original condition bore but 74. Also that the pampered plants bore 240 seeds to every 100 borne by the plants that were hot given a chance to gratify cannibalistic ..tastes. This is certainly a discovery worthy of much careful study and extensive experiment.

THE DEVIL’S PUMP.

Odd Combinations of Natural and Artificial Curiosities. One of the greatest combinations of natural and artificial curiosities on the coast of California is called the Devil’s Pump. The pholas, or shell miners, a species of mollusk which excavates immense caverns in the very hardest stone, have tunneled the entire coast in tlie vicinity of the pump 1 . Water rushes into these caverns with each succeeding tide flow and, in this particular case, finds vent through a cylindrical opening some distance from, the water’s edge. It is estimated that this hole, which connects with the sea cavern, is 75 to 100 feet in depth. Every time the tide rushes into the cavern beneatji tfie “pump” throws water to the height of a full 100 feet above the month of the opening. The Indians formerly called it by a name which signified “fairy water gun,” but the irreverent white men have given it the title of the “Devil’s Pump,” and by that name it will probably bp known by future generations. There is a similar curiosity near Horn Head, County Donegal, Ireland, where a hole in the rocks is called “MeSwiney’s Gun,” says the St. Louis Republic. Like the California oddity,“it is on the seacoast and has connection with a submarine cavern. When the north wind blows and the sea is at “half flood” the wind and waves entei the cavern and send up immense columns of water through the “gun.” Travelers say that each charge of water sent from the “gun” is accompanied by an explosion that can be heard for miles.

WATCH THE THUMBS.

They Are Telltale Signs of Healthy or Sick Nerves. “When I went to a nerve specialist first,” said a man who was once an invalid to a Boston Gazette reporter, “he told me that one way to judge of the condition of a person’s nerves was to watch his thumbs. Ever since that time I have found the greatest fascination in looking at people’s thumbs. The doctor said that if they moved involuntarily outward it was a sign that the nerves of that man or woman were not in the best condition. I find myself now line sweeping the line opposite me in the car, and if the doctor’s test is a good one, there is a surprising number of people in this town whose nerves need looking after. There are few people among the women who do not involuntarily move the thumbs outward at intervals of every few minutes, and when your attention have been once attracted to it, the process of watching their gloved hands grows very interesting. I have found the habit much less frequent among men, but take the average number of women in a street car, and it will be a surprise to you to see how many of them indulge unconsciously in this little habit. I only hope it does not mean anything as serious as it might indicate if that nerve specialist’s diagnosis was a good, one.

The Judge’s Musical Instrument.

A new typewriter story comes from India. It appears that one of the English judges in India was an expert on the machine, and it occurred to him to use it for the making of judicial notes. The machine was conveyed into court, when a certain novelty was imparted to the proceedings by the click of the keys and the tinkle of the bell which Indicated that a line*had been completed. The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced. Promptly he appealed, on the ground that, instead of listening to the evidence, the judge had whiled away his time by playing on a musical instrument. This was a technicality as well as a typewriter, and quite good enough reason for a bad man to get a new trial.

The Great Lawyer Coke.

Coke, who is frequently quoted as a high Iqgal authority, was a lawyer ■ bom in the year 1550, and in 1592 was made attorney general, when his prosecution of Raleigh and Essex, and his forensic power afterward, on the occasion of,the gunpowder plot, raised him into favor. Up was elevated to the bench, and then sent to the Tower, but afterward framed the petition of rights. Buggies at Roberts* implement store on Cullen street, opposite Makeever House.

WHY LATIN IS USED.

Good Bessons for a ©actor’s Writing a Prescription la a Dead Language. •‘Why doesn’t the doctor 'write his prescription in English instead of Latin?” asked a man ( of a druggist, whose reply the New York, Herald publishes: In the first plate, Latin is a more ex* act and concise language than English, and being a dead language, does not change, as all living languages do. Then,, again, since a very large part of all drugs in use are botanical, they have in the pharmacopoeia the same names that they have in botany—the scientific names. Two-thirds ofsuch drugs havenlt any English names, and so couldn’t be written in English. But suppose doctors did write a prescription in English for an uneducated patient. The patient it, thinks he remembers it, and so tries to get it filled from I 'memory the second time. Suppose, for instance,, it called for iodide of potassium, and he got it confused with cyanide of potassium. He could safely take ten grains of the first, but one grain of the seeond would-kiU-him. That’s an extreme case, but it will serve for an illustration. Don’t you see how the Latin is a protection and a safeguard to the patient? Prescriptions in Latin he can’t read, and consequently does not try to remember. Now for a final reason. Latin is a language that is used by scientific men the world over, and no other language is. You can get a Latin prescription filled in any country on the face of the earth where there is a drug* store. We had a prescription here the other day which we had put up originally, and which'had since been stamped by druggists in London, Par is, Berlin, Constantinople, Cairo and Calcutta. What good would nn English prescription be in St. Petersburg?

PRACTICAL.

Value of a Good Efer for Music Apart from Music. V It is probable that a good ear for music has some value apart from music, but it is not great. In the management of rapidly moving machinery a musical ear, which quickly detects variation of pitch, and, therefore, of speed—for the pitch of the sound depends on the speed—is of considerable use. A farmer with a_good ear can detect at once if the thrashing-machine is improperly “fed,” for its speed increases and the sound it emits is of higher pitch when an insufficient amount of corn is supplied, and in the same way the electrician can tell if an electric motor is running at Its due speed. With a musical ear the physician more readily interprets the sounds elicited by percussing the chest, and the potter more easily separates the sound from the unsound. It is a moot point whether the musical are naturally the better readers and speakers, but there is no doubt that they improve more quickly when taught elocution, for they can appreciate the pitch of their own voices and so correct their errors. A good ear includes an acute appreciation of time or rhythm, and this is of use to, for example, the stroke of a boat or a drill-sergeant.

A DEEP SILENCE FELL.

The Figures Seetneq to Warrant a Thea-ter-Goer’s Demand. < “I beg your pardon,” said the man with the slightly bald: head, who sat in a parquet seat near one of the boxes in a downtown theater the other evening. “I beg your pardon,” he repeated, “but would you mind looking at the figures on this check and telling me what they are? I’m a little nearsighted.” The youngest member of the noisy .box party, an amiable-looking youth with highly plastered hair, suspended his conversation, says the Chicago Tribune, with the interesting blonde in the green dress a moment, leaned over the front of the box, and, in answer to the questioner, who had risen to his feet and was smilingly holding out for his inspection the check end of a ticket, he said: “Certainly, sir. The figures are $1.50.” “Well,” rejoined the questioner, “that’s exactly what J paid to hear this play to-night, and I’m going to get the worth of my money or I’ll lift my voice right now and raise a fuss and make a scene! You’ll oblige me by telling the rest of them.” He was not disturbed again during the evening. ‘

Cook Bides a Bike.

A lady living in the upper part of New York wanted a cook who would, go nome’Kt night,* and put an advertise” ment in the paper setting forth her needs. Among the applicants waa a negro woman of huge proportions. The lady looked at the negress and thought of her little kitchen. She did not want to state the real reason, for fear of giving offense, so she said: “I’m afraid that you would not get here in time in the morning, you live so far downtown.” “Don’t you fear about that, honey,” said the negress; “it won’t take me no time to come up on my bike.” The lady regrets now that she did not ask this wheel woman whether she wore bloomers or knickerbockers.

Call It Quits.

Among the advertisements in a German paper there lately tfppeared the following: “The gentlemajLwho found a purse with money in the Elumenstrasse is requested to forward it to the address of the loser, as he was recognized.” A few days afterward the reply was inserted: “The recognized gentleman who picked up a purse in the Blumenstrasse requests the loser to call at his house.”
