"A snako cernnltim t" "Yen that Is what I call it,"' said tho dootor. I stooped down to oxaraino tho flower Hideout, repulsive, and yet Rtrntigoly nttraotivc, too saako goraoiura seemed to hold mo undor a spell. To describo this flower ono would liavo to paint lifo and motion. Mcro color Is not enough. As I looked the evil thing glared at mo with sineter in telligence There was nothing roraark nblo about tho stalk and tho leaves of tho plant. Tho blossom was what riveted my gaze. Black, sinuous and slimy, it looked moro liko a snako than anything else. As I ohanged my point of view tho thing changed its aspect. Its scales were a purplish black, then a dirty brown. Two litllo glassy beads in tho monster's head glittered with prismatic hues and looked straight into my eyes. Was I mistaken T I oould havo sworn that this arfesomo bloom turned and twisted with tho unoanny frcakishncss of a reptile. "You know something of botany." paid tho doctor, "how do you olaselfy it!" "It is not to bo classified," I answer ed. "It is a monstrosity. There is nothing liko it. It ia poisonous V "I think so," was tho reply, "tho old Afrioan who found it called it a 'pizen plant,' but 1 renamed it. I had seen nearly everything worth seeinc in the floral world, but this sin cular plant blooming unnoticed in an obscure corner of a country doctor's garden amazed mo beyond expression, From the first the sickening odor of tho flower had been terribly oppressive. In tact, it had prevented a close exam ination. Suddenly my brain seemrd benumbed, a cold chill seized me, and, with a face of deadly pallor, I reeled and would have fallen to the ground but lor the dootor s suontr arm. I was half sick, or rather in a dazed, half stupefied state, for days after my return to town. Une evening a negro called at my house with a note from my friend, the doctor, and a covered basket, ine messenger was gono' be fore I could read the note. I glanced at the paper and then opened the basket. I did not know whether to laugh or be angry. Comfortably fixed in a big jar tho snake gf ranium gave a flirty twist and snapped its wioked eyes in my lace I To have this floral horror in my bouse was out ol the question, and yet 1 was proud o t the monster. 1 made a ser vant carry it to a sunny nook in the back yard, alio returned with chatter ing teeth. "Do lawd hab mussy I" she exclaim ing "dat ting's alive. Hit'll bite, sho's yer bawn r I did not contradict her. In fact, I agreed with her. Sometimes I carried my friends to see my pet. I invariably had the sat isfaction of hearing them swear, and generally I had to send them homo in a carriage. One whiff of the snako geranium was enough to mako a totter ing wreck of the strongest man. A little girl next door took a won derful fancy to the flower. Frequently she come over when 1 was absent and spent au hour at a time fondling the plant and looking at it. Of all the persons who saw it she was the only one not affected by its peculiar odor. Sometimes I fell into a deep study over tne mutual attachment existing between my monster and the girl. I call it mutual because it was impossible to view my snake goranium without giv ing it credit for life and intelligence, The girl was a queer little creature, :J I. i - . ' wuu luiuuigui nair anu veiveiy eyes. She had a certain impish beauty that made me shudder. Between tho cW and tho geranium I came near being deviled to death. As the weeks passed on the girl con tinued her visits. She crew thinner and paler, and her eyes grew larger and blacker. More than once I over heard the servants whispering that the snake Geranium was killinc the child. This alarmed nie, and one day I told my yoang neighbor that the plant was poisonous, and that she must not go near it. She rather shrank from me and with a sorrowful look sped home ward without saying a word. I came home unexpectedly one day. and found the girl paying a surreptious visit, to me nower. i weni 10 ner iuii of wrath, but was disarmed by what I saw. The poor thing had fainted, and wriggling and squirming over the side of the jar, within a few inches of the child s lace, was that diabolical geran ium. I took my visitor homo and told her mother all about it. we spoke with some severity to tho little offender, but wo thought it was for ler good. I never once thought of destroying my mou ster. No words can express the horror I felt the next morning when I heard that my girl neighbor was dead. Slio had been found lifeless and cold in bed a, an early hour. Her appearanoe I was told, was that of a person who had been poisoned. On tbo pillow was a slimy mark that resembled a serpent's trail. When 1 beard this I rushed frantio- nlly out to tho corner containing my geranium. One of the servants divined my purpose and followed me. In the jar wo saw the stalk of tbo plant with a few leavf s attached to it, but the lioirible blossom, where was it T The snake geranium was gono 1 I could not utter a word, 1 had no in quiries to make, aud I wanted to hear no exclamations. I ran back to the house but I heard tho old negro cry out: "Hit's gono 1 Hit done crawled oher into do ncx' yard. I seo hit's track 1" Startling Besemblanceo- Marrellus Lodemia, can you tell mo why your mother's consent to our marriage is like our marriage itself T Lodemia I am sure I cau't imagine why.

Said a commercial traveler to a Chi cago Herald reporter i My business calls mn n good deal to Colorado and Nuw Mexico, and I hayo mmy ac quaintances and friends out there. One of my friends is a little fellow named MoDermott, editor of a mining camp paper, lie is not much bigger than a pint of cider, but ho has tremendous nervo. Ho is as quick as lightning with his gun, nnd is not afraid of I ho best man that walks. Ho was telling mo of ono experience ho had a fow months ago. A big, tough fellow walked into his sanitum ono evening nnd announced that he had uomu to do ip the editor. Ho had a six-shooler in his hand, and advanced with It cooked. It happened that my friend had just sent his revolver out to bo repaired, and ho was without a weapon. Ho tried to palaver with tho deperado and talk him out of his passion in order to gain time. But tho moro ho talked tho fiercer the caller bccanip. Suspecting that the editor was unarmed, he took fiendish delight in holding his victim covered with his' revolver, and telling him he had only sixty minutes to live. But my friend s brain was working at a lively rato all this lime, and when ho talkeJ'ho held his pen in the llama of tho gas jet over his deck. Without tho desperado smpectlng what he was up to, ho succeeded in getting tho pen red hot it took only a few Beconds and then ho mado a jump for his assailant so suddenly nnd with such cat-liko qniekness that, be fore tho ruffan, uken off his guard by tho supposition that tho editor was unarmed, could lire a shot, the littlo man had thrown one arm around tho big fellow's neck, and was jabbing his red-hot pen into his faco at tho rato of 200 i-trokcs to tho minute. lmagino the wounds that big, sharp, red-hot pen must have made, held securely in a strong celluloid holder, driven by the arm of a man fighting for life. Think of tho Buffering tho desperado imit havo eudured in tho few brief seconds before his agony conquered his courage and caused him to thiow the revolver to tho Uoor as a token that he gavo up tho battle. That ruffian ho was drunk u that occasion is now ono of the best friends tlw little edilor has, though his face is badly scaricd from tho wounds inflicted on him. Over the desk of my friend now hangs a pen, still covered with blood stains its wholo length, aud over it is a placard written in tho blood that was formed upon it just after the battle -. "Tho pen is mightier than the six-shooter.'' Velocity of Ocean Currents. Admiral Bouquet do la Gryco has made to the Academic des Sciences at Paris a report which the London Times epitomizes, on a series of experiments instituted by tho Prince of Monaso,do signed to test the velocity of currents in the .North Atlantic, by means of light water-tight caskets or vessels hunched into the sea at a considerable distance from the lacd. Some such caskets launched -fF tho Azores in 1885 reached the iand after an interval of tirco which indicated a daily rate ot motion of from two to four miles. Later observations indicate a quicker rate of movement. Of 500 launched in deep sea off Capo Flnincrre, 12 ar rived at the French coast a little below Arcichon after an interval which sug gests an average daily rate of travel of dbout six miles Some of them were of glass, some of copper. The glass ones, Seating on the surface, were ex posed more to the bufferings of the waves as well as to the influence of tho currents; so that it may not be eas to determiue how much each of these factors may have contributed to the actual movement. The Prince carried out also a multitude of observations to determine the temperaturo of tho ocean at difTi rent depths in various localities. In the Bay of Biscay, at the depth of 150 metres, the temperature of tho water was lower than at tho corres ponding depth off the Portuguese coast. One of tho circumstances which invest with special interest those inquiries into tho difference of temper ature of the deep sea in different local ities is that they help to explain the differences of the fishes and tnarino plants, aud also givo a clue to the mi grations of fishes e. g., sardinis, which are known to have changed their haunts within living memory. Tattoo Custom. A current article on tho subject says that in former times in the vicinity of Los Anrles, California, every chief caused the tattooed marks upon his faco to bo re-produced upon tries or poles which indicated the boundaries of bis land; and, as these mails were well known to neighboring chiefs, they were a xutficient warning that tie spac ers would be punished; A custom akin to this prevails in Australia, where tho tattooed designs upon the iuou of a na tive are often engraved upon tho bark of trees near his grave. Among many of tho tubes west of the Mississippi there are still numbers of persons who bear tattoo marks upon the chin, tho cheeks, and even upon other parts of the body, but tho marks seldom occur in any forms other than narrow lines, except among the Haida Indians of Quoen Charlotte's Island, where tho art of tattooing has reached a higher degreo of development than ou tho mainland. Tho ilaidas tattoo upon tho back, breast, forearms, thighs, and the legs below tho knr in; and women 8 ub mi t to the operation as well as men. The characters aie toicmic, and leprc sent either antimatp or mythologio be ing. They are usually drawn in out line, with interior decoralivo line, red being sometimes introduced to form what is supposed to bo a pleasant con trast. Tho ceremonies at which the tattooing is dono are held in tho au tumn, and extend over n period of sev eral weeks. Among tho figures gen erally adopted are tlm thunder bird, raven, bear, tculpiu and squid. Almost a Hint.

A plg tnll is of nn more so to ttio pig than tho letter "p'1 U to pneumonia. Wealth nltrnolA both butterflies nnd bnzjuuds. Poverty i4 sure doath to both. The universal bono of contention Is tho jawbone. Haven't you found it so yourself f Tho man who wai wrapped up in his own thoughts found himself too warm for comfort. Any vnutnj tattmiati, who has ever borrow eil five dollar, is ablo lo speak 011 the money question. Pcnlo call it "iiiittiiiir; t" at a hotel, becatiRO thero is so much that they havo to put up with. Earnestness is tho best cift of mon tal power, and defluionuy of heart Is tho cauo ft many man never becom ing great. Infidelity traltis the victory when it wrestles with hypocrisy or with supcr- stition,bul never when its antagonist is reason. Did you ever notice how surprised you were when you put your foot on tho next stair-step ami fount! there wasn t any. They who aro possessed of talenU and knowledge, fiuinir them to servo their lellow-citizuns, outfit not to bury their gilts. It is a strango desire to seek pnwor and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and lost) power over a man s sen. A manlo of oVarity, that is not woven with threads of cold, is not reo- ognizod by the individual who novcr had a setback. Lovo is like a painler. who is drawintr the portrait of a friend having a blem ish in one eve, would picturo only the other side of his face. A Chinaman has iust published a book in which he say: "Woman does not require study to mako herself per fect; she is born porfect." Never wn.4 a sincere word utterly lobt, never a magnanimity fell to the ground; there is so'rae heait always to greet and accept it unexpectedly. A man s heart crows eold if he does not keep it warm by living in it, and a censorious man is one who or dinarily lives out of Ins own heart. A woman doesn't know half as much about voting as a man does about rock ing a cradle, yet thero are moro wom en who want to vote than thero aro men who would rook ciadlee. It is said that a man could f aily carry 840,000,(100 if the money was in ten-thousand dollar bills. It is worih while for every man to know this, fo as to bo prepared for an emergency. Child Grandpa, how old are von T Grandpa I am 87 years old, my littlo dear. Child Then you were born 80 years before I was. Grandpa Yes, my little girl. Child What a long, long time you had alone waiting for me. Deacon Pilkuis said to himself. "Faltaff asks, 'What's honor?' as though it was hard to tell. But let my wile sit behind another worn m in ohitreh, and she'll tell what's on her in less than two minules.' A lighthouse keeper's daughter is going tn make her dr but on tho stag This gives us an opportunity to say uiai sue win still seo a liyht hon-e eacn night she plays, lint wo "i-hall not. say it.
