A Patented I'lniit. "One plant at least has been patent ed," said au inventor. "It is the Abrus precatorius, alias paternoster pea, alias weather plant. John Nowack took out .he patent. The weather plant Is still -relieved by many persons to foretell the weather. John Nowack was sure It did so, and he put it on the market along with an indicating apparatus, guaranteeing it to foretell for forty eight hours in advance and for fifty miles around fog. rain, snow, hail, earthquake and depressions likely to cause explosions of tire damp. Alas for |ioor Nowack! The experts of the bureau of agriculture look up his pat ented plant. They proved that the movements of the leaves—to the right foretelling ralu, to the left foretelling drought—were not caused by the weather, but by the light. And they proved that the plant's famous down ward movement, which was supposed to foretell earthquake, was caused by au insect that punctured the stem, causing the leaf, naturally, to droop. That Is the only patented plant I know of, and Nowack lost money on it" Baying Bird* to Free Them. Birds are often purchased in the bird market at Lucknow, India, lu order to be set free again. This is done by Hin doos as a work of merit and by Mo hammedans after certain rites have been performed as ah atouement. In imitation of the Jewish scapegoat. It Is essential that n bird used for this purpose should be strong enough to- fly away; but that does not Induce the cruel dealers to feed the birds, or tp refrain from dislocating their wtngs or breaking their legs. They put down everything to good or bad luck, and leave the customer to choose a strong bird, If be can -find one, and togo away lf ho cannot. The merit obtained by setting « bird free is not attributed to Deity, but It Is aupposed to come is a large measure from the bird ltaelf or from Its attendant spirit, and hence birds of good or bad omen, and es pecially kites and crows, are In much demand and are regularly caught to b* sold for this purpose. Sweet lluie." Probably no one would have been more surprised than Sir Henry Bishop himself ceuld be have foreseen that u single melody In one of his numerous operas would achieve such celebrity that at the preeent day It Is still sung by leading prima donnaa at fashionable concerts, Jangled on street organs and loved by a vaet public that knows noth ing of musk, properly so called, as the purest representation of the Rnglish spirit—"Home, Sweet Home." "Clari. the Maid of Milan," the opera In which this favorite song occurred, has long been consigned to the limbo of forgot ten musical works, but "Home, Sweet Home," survives with undiminished popularity and Is likely to survive when many more pretentious composi tions have followed "The Maid at Milan" Into oblivion.—Cornell Mag azine. Wtfnien nud Mirrors. "We carry lots of wemeii clear to the top floor or at least several floors up and then they take the next elevator down without going three steps away from the elevator," declared the opera tor of one of the "lifts" In a big office building. "No, it isn't because they like to ride in the elevators particular ly. Why do they do it? To get the use of the mirrors, of course. See those mirrors 011 either side of the ele vator? That's what attracts thein. A bit of wind will strike them as they turn the corner by a big building and then they imagine that their hair is badly disarranged and make for the nearest mirror, which is in the ele vator."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Chinese Duel. A Chinaman was killed recently 111 Bangkok in a duel with another of his race. The Chinese method of dueling is interesting, but does not seem dead ly. These two Bangkok Chinamen fought with the two forefingers of each hand, stabbing each other with these in the region of the spleen and at the same level 011 the other side of the body. The men who go In for this kind of contest practice every morn ing, stabbing bags of rice or paddy with these lingers till they can use tlieni like a piece of iron. Ueutli by Boiling. In old England, before the law was passed which prohibited "cruel and un usual forms of punishment," murder ers were often condemned to death by boiling. 111 such cases the victims were chained in large kettles of cold Water, which was gradually heated until it caused the flesh to drop from the bones. The last English victim of the "boiling death" was one Rouse, a cook, who, it was alleged, had killed seventeen persons. Talked Shop. "I spent a pleasant half hour in a barber's chair yesterday." "How was that?" "Listening to the barber's story of how his brother went suddenly insane and slashed a customer. The barber explained between strokes that insanity ran in his family."—Columbus I'ress- Post. AnunymouN. Schoolmaster—"Anonymous" means without a name. Give me a sentence showing you understand how to use the word. Small Boy—Our new baby is anonymous.—Chums. Trying; to Kill lllui. Mrs. Benbam—l baked you another cake today. Benham—l know what you want; you want my life insurance. We ought either to be silent or speak things better than silence.—Pythago ras. A Mutter of Nonp. In spite of the important place giveu to the nose as an index of character, there is but little to be learned from it lu estimating the causes of an innate bond between tin; mind and the fea tures. Most of tiu- correspondences which have been remarked appear to be of a radical order, but why a Itonian nose first became associated with a warlike and domineering disposition or how a long and thin nose became linked with business prudence is more than 1 can say. If we omit the changes which take place in a nose during the lifetime of its possessor, there is scarce ly a nasal peculiarity of value to the physiognomist which at the same time is cosmopolitan. No Tartar or Hotten tot, however warlike, could give proof of It In this way. Japan has shown that she possesses plenty of men with military aptitude, but no Welllngtonlan nose can be found within her borders. Again, no Chinese nose Is long and thin, yet John is not without a certain aptitude at driving bargains.—Black wood's Magazine. Muftlr una tli* Turtle, The Egyptians, according to the sage Apollodorus, credit their Hermes or Mercury with the invention of music under the following circumstances: : The Nile, having, overflowed Its banks and Inundated nearly all of Egypt, ou Its return to Its banks left on its shores various dead auimals and among the rest a tortoise, the tlesh having dried and wasted In the sun until nothing remained In the shell but cartilages. These, being tightened by the drying heat, became sonorous. Mercury, walking along the banks of the river, happened to strike his foot agalast this «bell, was so pleased with i the so and produced that the Idea of the lyre suggested Itself, and he con structed a lyre of the shell of a large tortotee, which he struug with the sinews of dead animals. Dryden wrote: L*ss than a god they thought there could not dwell Within the hollow of that «hell That spoke so »rwe*tly. Paprn*. The papyrus used by the ancient Bgyptianc was made from the stems of a peculiar water reed growing in all parte" of Egypt. The outside layer of the plant was removed, and beneath this there were found a namber of lay ers tff a delicate, pithy membrane. 1 These, being separated, were placed in lasers. A aeeond layer was laid at right angles to and above the first and sometimes a third over the second. Heavjr pressure was then applied, and the lasers were firmly cemented into a fair article of i>aper. No gum than what was contained In the plant Itself was used In the process. The papyrus was very much stronger than the average jvaper made by the mod ern machines. The sheets were com monly made from six to twelve inches square. Two Momtrr Beetlet. The largest bug known to the old world entomologists is the gigantic Goliath beetle, which Is found along the Kodgo river in Africa. Goliath la upward of six inches In length from the tip of his nose to the nether end of his hard shelled body and has a pair of gauzy wings folded up under his arms, either of which is as large as a lady's face veil. But Goliath is a pygmy when compared with the ele phant beetle of Venezuela, an entomo logical giant which weighs nearly a pound and which has a wing spread equal lo that of a mallard duck. Both of these bugs are rare. Klnmliik lu Icelunil. When you visit a family in Iceland you must kiss each member according to his age or rank, beginning with the highest and descending to the lowest, not even excepting the servants. 011 taking leave the order Is reversed. You llrsl kiss the servants, then the children and lastly the master and mistress. Both at meeting and parting an affectionate kiss on the mouth with out distinction of rank, age or sex is the only mode of salutation knowu in Iceland. Wood of (lie CroMM. The people of the different countries have their various traditions concern ing the wood of which the cross was made. In England the peasants say that it was of elderwood and that lightning never strikes that tree. Dean French in a note to his "Sacred Latin Poetry" dc-lares that it was made of the wood of the aspen and that since the day of the crucifixion the leaves of that tree have never ceased to shud der.

"Now I have an impression in my head," said the teacher. "Can any of you tell me what an impression is'/" "Yes'm, I can," replied a little fellow at the foot of the class.
