A Blood-Sucking Plant.
Leroy DtinKUn, a well-know naturalii-t
of Now Orleann, who has recently re
turned ft jiij Cfntral Ameritra, where he
had hi'iit nearly two years in the etudr
of the flora and fauna of the country, re
lates the finding of a singular K'0th in
one of the swatut which hurronnd the
irrt-atUkeof Xii-aragua. lie was enpftffed j
in hunting for botanical and eutoniolo- j
logical jiex-imcns in thisswaiup, which is j
known as San Sebastian 8 when he heard
hii d cry out as if in agony, from a dis
taiuie. Utinning to the epot from which
the aniiiial'a cries came, Mr. Hunstan
f.miid him envcloied in a irfe-ct ntt
woik of what seemed to te a fine, roiie
likeliue of roots or fillers, the natute
of which wua unknown to hitn.
The jilatit or vine m-emed cotniiosod
entirely of bare, ir.terlarinj stems, re
sembling more than anything else the
branches of a weeping willow denuded
of all foliage, but of a dark, nearly black
hue, and covered with a thick, viscid
gam that exuded from the pores. Draw
ing his knife, Mr. Kuustan endeavored
to cut the animal free, but it was only
w ith the greatest difficulty that he suc
ceeded in severing the flet-by, muscular
fiber. To his horror and amazement the
naturalist then saw that Jhe dog's body
was covered w ith blood, w hile his hair
less skin appeared to have been actually
sucked or puckerd in simU and the ani
mal staggered as if from weakness and
exhaustion.
In cutting the vine the twigs curled
like living, sinuous fingers about Mr.
Dunstan's hand, and it required no slight
force to free the members from its cling- i
ing clasp, w hich left the flesh red and
blistered. The gum exuding from the
vine was of a dark grayish tinge, remark
ably adhesive and of a disagreeable ani
mal odor, vciy powerful and nauseating
to inhale.
The native servants who accompanied
Mr. lnntan manifested the greatest
horror of the vine, which they call la
sageiiH8 de diablr the devil's seine, or
snare and w ere fall of stories of its
death-dealing powers. One of these
et iries w as of an Lnglishinan residing in
Maragua, w ho, w hile hunting in a sw amp
a few years bt fore, lay down beneath a
tree w here a lnrize and powerful speci
men of this singular plant was growing,
and inadvertently falling asleep, awoke
to find himself enveloped in i!s w eb, and
in spite of every elfirt made to extricate
liim, perished in its deadly embrace.
Another story was of an es. -aped con
vict, who had hidden in the swamp, and
1 I :.. ,1 ...I J
whoso. Imnts nan m-en nmuu 111 toe nuns ,
of the sagenas oi.ly a short time la-fun; I
Mr. !uiis!an'a viit. These stories, re- j
inarkahleas they may seem, are lirudy j
liolieved in by the jK-ople, but the only
lliree sievimens w hich Mr. Dunstan was
Hlile to find were all small on.-s, though j
the .meshes of the largest would probably j
if extended in a straight line, measure
liearly if not quite 1M feet.
He was able to discover very little
about the nature of the plant ow ing to
the difficulty of handling it, for its grasp
can only lie torn away with lossofskin,
and even of flesh; but as near as Mr.
lunstan could ascertain, itsjiower of suc
tion is contained in a numbei of infinites
ritual mouths or little suckers, which or
dinarily closed, open tor the reception" of
ftKjd. l'ratil LffHr'i .Vi:i"fie.

Sleepintr Rooms. !
In the most of our dwellings the im
portant rooms, as f-ir as the health of the
inmates is concerned, are the kitchen
and afeeping room. In these two the
mistress of the house, who keeps no ser
vant, spends ths larger part of her!ife;
but it is to just the; rooms that the ieatt
sanitary attention is commonly paid.
We shall speak now only (if the sleep-
- ... ,, , .i ii
ing room. In Uus we an speno. orsnouiu
spend, one-third of the day, the period
designed by nature for repamng the
wear an-1 tear of the physical am! men
tal machinery. No greater mistake was
ever made than to look on the time spent
in sleep as wasted.
We have improved Ron such sL't-ping
rooms as were not unusual a few years
; rooms forever unvisited by sun
shine ; rooms opening from the kitchen,
BO that the spoiled air of the day wrs
breathed over again by night ; rooms in
liw, rtifling carreta, or, worse still, mere
closets, whclly cut off from sunshine and
fioii the pure outside air. But many
housekeepers still need hints on the
subject.
1. A sleeping room should never be a
email one, dependent for most of its air
on an .open window. Such a room is
seldom safe, and in certain states otthe
weather the air is sure to be shut olf.
2. Few rooms are large enough not to
require continuous ventilation. The
sleepers are constantly vitiating the air.
No air is pure which contains an excess
of carbonic, acid, and at every breath a
certain amount of oxygen is converted
into this poisonous gas. Think of twelve
tlioiwtmd sneh inspirations during the
night!
Moreover, each breath conveys with
the carlumiu acid and throws into the
air elTcle matter thrown olf by the lungs,
w hich is also poisonous.
Ncr is even this all. Millions of sweat
tubes are nil the time pouring their pol
luted waste into the room. Ventilation,
it is e ident, is a hygienic necessity.
Sunshine is essential to a good sleep
inroom. Sunshine is a jiowerful disinfect
ant, and every sleeping room needs t be
disinfected daily. Let the hea 1 of the
family appropriate, the sunniest room
the guest chamber, with its occasion;'.!
occupant, is of secondary importance.
4. The sleeping room should be in an
upper story. As the night air cools,
many of the disease producing partic.i s
Kink to the lower strata. It is suii.l that
one may live safely in a malarial region
by avaiding the night air and sleeping
above the ground floor.
5. The sleeping room should be not
onlv one of the most spacious, but one of
the cheeriest and neatest and best fur
rooms in the house. It should
be emphatically "the chamber of peace

An example of precoci ty was the com
poser Mozart. In his 4th year he played
the piano well. In ids 5th year he com
posed several pieces. V.'hen he was C

nics. At the age of 12 he composed an

A complete wreck of domestic happinejs has often resulted from
badly washed dishes, from an unclean kitchen, or from trifles which
seemed light as air. But by these things a maa often judges of his
wife's devotion to her family, and charges her with general neglect
when he finds her careless in these particulars. Many a home jwes
a largo part of its thrifty neatness and its consequent happiness to
