The (Jreat Tumble" Weed ef tbe Prairies.
Dunn his wanderings in the great
XToaf Mr naniel C. Rftaid. the well-
known artist and naturalist, came upon
a curious vegetable growth known popu-
larlr as the tumnie weea ana acieuiui
tu'v as Clucloloma vlatuvhullum. At
the time we were uuable to secure a
specimen of the weed, but lately, thro'
tha kindness ef Mr. Ilenrv Worrell, of
the Department of Atrriculture, Tope
ka, Kansas, h? was enabled to obtain a
photograph of tome of the finest speci
mens of the great weed preserved in the
buildings of tbe department. The gen
ial gentleman referred to was even cour
teous enough to permit himself to be
used as a medium for compatison.
A startling story is told by the vera
cious Western man of a party of Eng
lish tourists who were on the plains on
a shooting excursion. They had been
out the greater part of the day without
meeting with any game, and one of
them were repeating for the hundredth
time that their luck was 'beastly' when
they noticed a large animal some dis
tance away, which was approaching
them in a leisurely but apparently in
quisitive manner, for it paused occasion
lj as if to study them.
The Englishman pointed the animal
out to his companions, and they agreed
among themselves that it must be a bis
on, though its movements were different
from those of any four-legged animal
they had ever seen before. However,
they did not make much of that fact, as
a breeze that had sprung up had raised
considerable dust and made it impossi
ble for them to see clearly.
It was so evident that rthe bison if
such it was was attracted by curiosity,
that one of the hunters determined to
beguile it by a device he had heard spo
ken of as very successful with the ante
lope. Accordingly he lay upon his
back and kicked his heels in the air,
while the crack shot of the party pre
pared to shoot when the proper time ar
rived. The creature was so far away
and approached so slowly that the decoy
grew tired and had to be relieved. It
was evident that they were drawing the
creature toward them, however, that
each in turn cheerfully and very enthu
siastically kicked himself tired.
The breeze had grown momentarily
stronger, and though it was fortunately
blowing toward them, it created so
much dust that it was not easy to get
good aim. However, the animal had
Increased its pace, and with an occasion
al bound into the air, rapidly approach
ing them. It was impossible to tell
which was its head and which the side.
bo the appointed hunter, with as careful
aim as the strange cl.aracterof the game
rendered possibible, fired.
The animal had been hit, for they
could see the fur fly, but it paid no at
tention to the phot, unless it it wa3 to
bound into the air and increase its pace
so much that in a few minutes it was
near enough to be easily distinguished.
It was an uncouth monsterjof huge pro
portions, c.id progres-ed not iu the usu
al way, but by a series of prodigious
leaps. The hunters were greatiy start
led by tbe appeaiance of this unknown
animal, but they realized that they must
lose no time iu shooting them if they
wantedto kep it away. They all fired
at once ; but whether wounded or not
the monster sped only the swifter.
They paused in amazement for a mom
ent, but were roused to sudden activity
whjn one of tbefcurnber shouted that a
whole herd of t'e monsters were upon
them. True enough all over Ihe plain
they came with frightful rapidity, ma
king such tremendous leaps that there
seemed as many in the air as on the
ground. The hunters lingered no long
er, but with the haste ot terror threw
everything from th-jtn, and ran to such
purpose that they soon distanced their
pursuers and found shelter, late In the
town from whence they started. Their
story had caused a great sensation, but
not exactly the kind they bad expected.
Next morning it was found that the
tourists had left for San Francisco.
The stcry, if not true, at least serves
well to illustrate the peculiar habit of
the great tumble weed. This strange
growth, which belongs to the pig weed
family, is very abundant in the great
Arkansas valley, and varies in size from
the huge specimen shown in the illustra
tion to one foot or less in diameter. It
grows upon a disproportionately small
stem, which, however, is of sufficient
stoutness to sustain the mass until it is
ripened and dried, when a slight gust
of wind will suffice to blow it over and
snap the brittle standard.
It now rolls ovei snd over at every
puff oil wind, and being both light and
elestic will perform a series of bounds
over any impeding bowlders or bushes.
In a high wind the fantastic spectacle
produced by a number of these balls of
varyiug sizes can easily be imagined.
And as the English tourist with bia
store of woader adjectives and odd ex
pletives is the stock butt of the Western
man, it is not so strange that be should
be brought into service to illustrate the
most striking feature of the tumble
weed.
Aside from its spectacular phase, this
habit of the tumble weed may be view
ed in an even more interesting light.
Man Bees everything from the stand
point of utility to himself, and he may
not comprehend the necessity for the ex
istence of the tumble weed at all ; but
in every created thing there seems to be
Inherent a continual effort to propogate
its kind. Examples for the working of
this spirit cannot be necessary, for even
in the cities, the trees the ailan'us,
tor example, with its winged seeds
give evidence of it. The fantastic and
Beemingly senseless whirling, rolling
and bounding of the tumble weed when
understood, tell the story of a unique
method of scattering seed. John Ojry

of the locomotive is heard 3,SD0 yards ;

lutely no purposes to serve, save tbe information
el Its raadors and th furtherance ol the common
good.
Because It Is everybody's nawspapar. No man
Is so bumbl that Tbb Sua la Indifferent to hie
welfare and his rights. No man Is so rich that he
can allow injustloe to be done him. Ne man, no
association of men, is powerful enough to be ei
mpt from tb strict application of lta principles
of rlsht and wrong.
Becanse in polities it has longht for a docen

against Kobesonism and for booest government.
No matter what party la In newer, Tbb Sub
stands and will coaitnus to stsnd llks a rock for
tb Interests or th people sralnst the ambition ot
bosses, the encroachments of monopolists, snd the
dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what wa are told almost dally by our
friend i. One man holds that Tbb Suh Is the best
religious newspaper ever published, bseaus Its
Christianity Is undiluted with cant. Another
holds that it la the best Republican newspaper
f rlnted, betause it has already whipped half of
h rascals out of that party, and Is proceeding
ae-ainst tb otbr half with undiminished rlfor.
A third believes It t be tb best magartn of rn-

If you already1 know Tbb Suit, you will observe
that In 1883 It la a little better than vr befor.
If you do not already know ThSpw, you will Snd

entrance to the Botanic garden of Per
adenia is through a noble avenue of In
dia, rubber trees. This tree, which is
known to us of the North only by puny
specimens in greenhouse, grows in
these tropical regions to a gUut's stat
ure, of a size comparable to that of our
largest oaks. An immense crown of
maDy thousand leaves covers with tbe
aid of its horizontal limbs, which are
thirty or forty feet long, the area of a
stately palace ; while from the base of
its thick trunk extends a framework of
roots over a .space of often between one
and two hundred feet in diameter, and
much larger than would correspond
with the height of the tree. This won
derful structure consists of twenty or
thirty chief roots proceeding from as
many corresponding ribs in the lower
part of the trunk and spreading them
selves like snakes on the ground. Tha
tree is hence called tbe snake tree by
the natives, and has been compared by
tbe poets to the coiled serpents of the
Laocoon. The roots, with the ribs
which mark the swelling out from the
trunk, form strong buttresses to the
tiee and enable it to bid defiance to the
storm. The spaces between the but
tresses constitute mimic chambers large
enough for a standing man to conceal
himself in them.
Among the other arboreal wonders of
Perandenia are the giant bamboos that
are a marvel to all visitors. They here
form thickets along the banks of tbe
stream, a hundred feet high and a
hundred feet wide, bending their great
heads, like the waving plumes of a giant
high over the river and the adjoining
road. On a nearer approach, each of the
thickets is seen to consist of cylindrical
stems a foot or two thick, which, close
ly crowded together below on a common
root diverge as they rise, and bear on
slight, nodding branches dense tofts of
the most delicate foliage. These gigan
tic trees are nothing but grasses. Like
all grass-holms, their great hollow reed
stem is divided Into joints ; but the
sheaf of the leaf, which is represented
in our tender grasses by a thin sca!e at
the base of the leaves, becomes iu ihese
gigantic bamboos a hard, woody plate,
that might without further preparation
serves the purpose of an armor for the
whol6 breast of a strong man. A three
year old child could hide iiself in one of
the joints of the stem.
Provident Rats. Rats are very apt
to take heed for the morrow. Eggs,
which they have been known to carry
from the cellar to the garret, and oilier
tempting food, instead of being devour
ed instantly, are stored away for the
hour of need. A gentleman who fed
his own pointers, noticed through a hole
in the deor that a number of rats ate
from the trough with the dogs, wLich
did not molest them. lie resolved to
shoot the intruders ; so, when he served
out the food be kept the dogs away.
Not a rat came to taste, although he
could see them peering out of their holes
for they were too well versed in human
nature to venture forth without protec
tion of their canine guard. When the
dogs were let in the rats joined them
and fed with them as usual. The fore
thought of rats is indeed proverbial, and
instead of being careless and selfish,
the interest in? little folk are proved to
be dutiful children, careful parents and
friends in need.

A Doa's Loira Watch. A dog in
New Mexloo, returning one ireolng
with bis sheep to the fold, discovered
that his master wai still in his shanty
and kept verry quiet. The next evening
it was the same. But after penning up
the sheep the dog smelled about tbe door,
scratched, barked and even howled, as
he was very hungry, but his master did
not move. The dog, true to his appoint
ed duty, went out with the sheep on the
third morning ; but that night when be
drove the flock into their pert the last
one to attempt to get in became the vic
tim of the dog's appetite. This method
of providing for his own wants became
a part of tbe faithful dog's duty. Every
evening the last sheep to try to enter
was seized by him and served for supper
and for breakfast and dinner the follow
ing day. The ranch to which the dog be
longed was in a solitary part of the Ter
ritory, and out of the track of travel and
visitation. For two years from the time
of his master's deaths-ascertained by
data left by the latter the faithful dog
attended the flocfc left in his charge, and
had fresh mntton for his supper every
night. The flock was not decimated by
this steady drain upon its resources. On
the contrary it increased in numbers,
and when, at tbe end of two years from
the time of the death of the proprietor,
the ranch was visited and the remains
of the owner found, the dog was still at
his post of duty, jealously guarding the
flock, and driving them to tbe best pas
tures every day and to tbe fold at night,
before which he slept, to keep the wild
sheep-eaters of the plains at a civil dis
tance. Chappid Hands. The raw winds
of late autumn often produce in the
hands of those who are much exposed
to them that roughness and cracking of
the skin known a chapping. If noth
ine is done to prevent, and the person
is obliged to have his bands frequently
wet and dried, the cracks will yet be
deep and painful. Corn husking is fre
quently accompanied by sore hands.
As both a precaution and cure for chap
ped hands we have used the following
with benefit : Wash the hands, and the
face also if it is inclined to chap, with
borax water, and afterwards rub with
an ointment made by melting tallow
(suet), and then gradually adding ;aa
equal quantity of glycerine, stirring
the two together until cold. For the
hands this mixture can best applied at
night, using it freely and warming it
by the fire, after which an old pair of
gloves can be put on to keep the clothes
from getting soiled, and also make the
skin of the bands softer. An excellent
glyceriue ointment for chapped hands is
made by melting, with a eentle heat,
two ounces of sweet oil of almonds, half
ounce of spermaceti, ar.d one drachm of
white wax. When melted, remove from
tbe stove, and add gradually, one ounce
of elycerine, and stir until the mixture
is cold. Tbe ointment can be scented
with any perfume to suit the fancy. Al
ways keep iu wide-necked bottles.
1816 and 1S82. In 1316 one bushel of
corn would buy one pound of nails. In
1882 one bushel of corn would buy fifteen
pounds of nails.
In 1816 it took from twenty to eighty
dozen of eggs to buy one bushel of salt.
In lbh2 two dozen of eggs would do the
same thing.
In 1816 it required sixty-four bushels
of barley to buy one yard of broadcloth.
In 1S82 five bushels of barley would do
the business.
In 1816 it requiredone bushel ofwheat
to purchase one yard of calico. In 1882
one bushel of wheat would buy twenty
yards of a better article.
In 1S16 a pair of woolen blankets cost
as much as a cow. In 1332 a cow would
buy from six to twenty pairs of blankets
superior in every way.
