Perhaps the most remarkable of the aquatic plants is the giant water lily known to science as the “Victoria regia.” It is a native of Guiana and Brazil. Large, spreading leaves seem to float on the water, though in reality their vast green surface is supported by a strong underwater framework of twisted tissues. The leaves, which are often over six feet in diameter with a rim of three to eight inches high, can support considerable weight. The plant bears immense white flow>rs, often measuring 18 inches across, which greatly resemble a huge daisy. They open in the evening. The seeds of the Victoria regia are edible. For this reason it is extensively cultivated in the Amazon valley.—Detroit News. She Might Be Right. “Children do make the most amus- ing errors,” chirped Miss Amanda, a school marm of the old school. “I re- quested my children to state in writ- ing what sort of houses they live in. This little girl says she lives in a com- partment house. What a quaint mis- take, to be sure.” “I wouldn't be too quick about call- ing that a mistake, Miss Amanda,” counseled a younger teacher. “Atleast 1 would inspect the house before mark- ing that little girl’s paper.” Sure Sign. Samuelia, at the ribbon counter, not: ing that the floorwalker was wander- ing through a maze of refrigerators called over softly to Johnette amid the hosiery. “Hey, dearie!” “Yes?” “I think Haroldine is seriously In love thig time.” “Impossible,” said the other. “Fact, dearie. She has cut out all but three fellas.” ckes What She Can Get. “Darling |” exclaimed the happy hus- pand after the minister had pronounced the fatal word, “I am not worthy of you.” “Of course you are not,” she replied; “but after a girl has celebrated: her twenty-fifth birthday for five consecu- tive years she can’t afford to be tos | particular.” mm ———— A ————— —Get your job work done here. Migratory Habit Still Exists With Americans A young man in Europe looks for- ward as a rule to spending his life in he city of his birth and, very likely, in tte profession or business pursued by his father. But in the United States, for 200 years, a large part of eack: gen- eration has moved West and created new homes for itself. Nothing could more effectively foster individualism of the type advocated (and typified) by Herbert Hoover. This migratory habit persists to the present day even when it has lost much of its economic justification. Ameri- cans are forever on the move; the man who lives in the house where he was born is almost a curiosity. The sense of transience thus rreated leads also to a certain looseness of community organization, and specifical- ly to a toleration of corrupt practice in business and politics. The mayor of your town may be a boodler; but after all, since you are thinking seriously of moving to Austin, Tex., next spring, what does it matter? ; The departure from the old Ameri- canism whicl: was created so largely by the existence of the frontier, has naturally gone further in the Eastern states than in the West, which is, even today, much closer to pioneer condi- tions. As regards the career of the young man, for example, New England today resembles France more nearly than tke Far West. Beyond the Mississippi, eyebrows are still raised when young George elects to settle down in old George's business instead of striking out for himself. In most Western communities any healthy man who elects to live on his income without working at something will find himself most unhappily isolated—so much so, indeed, that almost invaria- bly ke is forced to flee to New York or Paris. When he does this he finds himself for the first time placed in a society which demands from him a definite degree of sophistication.—New Republic. No Venomous Snakes on the Isle of Pines There are no venomous reptiles or sects on the Isle of Pines. There are four varieties of the smaller snakes. The most formidable reptile is the maja—a constrictor. One of the largest known specimens perhaps Is the one killed near Nueva Gerona gome years ago in a manger while en- joying his siesta after having dined upon a brooding hen and her eggs. It measured twelve feet in length and was approximately six inches in diameter except through the part dis- tended by the hen. Its skin, cured, looked like the souvenir of some he- roi¢c encounter, but the truth is that the noncombative nature of the maja is so ridiculously at variance with his dreadful aspect that his name is ap- plied as a term of contempt to blus- terers and swaggerers. Dr, Luz Her- nandez in his book, “The Salubrity of the Isle of Pines,” recommends the white meat of the maja to his pa- tients. The lacertillia are represented by a few harmless lizards, a plenty of pretty chameleons and a variety of the iguanas, rarely seen, whose flesh Is esteemed as a food. Specimens have been found three feet in length, but its innocuous nature is evident from the fact that it makes a very well-behaved family pet. Don’t Shed Tusks Among the Indian or Asiatic ele phants only the male has the tusks, but they are found on both the male and female of the African species. Sometimes these tusks weigh from 150 to 200 pounds. The tusks of the elephants are merely projections of the incisors of the upper jaw and are never shed, al- though they are sometimes broken off. In other words, the tusks are part of the elephant’s teeth. How- ever, the milk teeth, which precede the tusks, come out at an early age. The tusks of the elephant supply the ivory which is so highly esteemed the world over for ornamental pur- poses.—Detroit News. From X to O A colored mammy came into the of Ace of the estate for which she worked to receive her monthly wages. As she could not write, she always made her mark on the receipt—the usual cross. But on this occasion she made a circle. “What's the matter, Linda?” the man asked. “Why don’t you make a cross as usual?” . “Why,” Linda explained. earnestly, “Ah done got married yesterday an’ changed mah name.”—Dry Goods Economist. : Expensively Good A matter-of-fact father of an em- oryo poet handed some of the lad’s ef- forts to a distinguished author of verse, and asked for his opinion. “Well, what's the answer?’ queried the successful stockman. “Alas!” sighed the real poet, “those things are so good, I'm afrald youl have to support Henry the rest of his life.”—Writer's Monthly.

He satisfied the committee as to his attitude upon dry enforcement measures, favoring laws strengthening the 18th Amend- ment. Too Busy Giving Advice. From the Boston Transcript. Governor Pinchot, who has just ex- plained four ways of helping the far- mer, would find greater favor if he would demonstrate even one way of helping the consumer of anthracite, which is a Pennsylvania monopoly. It will be worth the price of admission to see Chairman Baker draw the halter on Pinchot if he threatens anything during the con- vention. Real Estate Transfers.
