and a beautiful cienr Ore glowirp.

Government Botanical Oddities.
There are many odd and curious spoci
focus of botanical raritie3 in the Govern
ment Botanical Gardens at Waahingtoa.
pfoue, however, attract moro attention
than that remarkable Oriental oddity, the
"barber plant." It was not given its
old name, M some might suppose, bo
cause its leaves are liko razor! or its sap
like lather. Neither will its inner bar
malto splendid towls (as is said of tho
"vegetable cloth" tree), or its seeds
make razor-hones. It is simply called
the barber 'plant because the juices or
either the leaves or fruit applied to the
lace prevents the beard from growing.
Mr. Davis says that this does not apply
to r ises whero the beard has taken root,
but that it may be applied with perfect
safety by boys who desire to kcop tho
hair on their faces from getting a start.
Another oddity pointed out to the in
terested visitor at the Government gar
dens is tho so-called ,4crucl plant'which
belongs to tho "fly-trap'' order. This
vegetable Nero kills just for tho pleasure
of being a murderer. The leaves of the
cruel plant exude an Intoxicating honey,
which regularly attracts flios, bees,
buttet flics and other busy little flutterera.
The slightest touch of those little crea
tures causes tho leaf to close in tho rear
lly-trap fashion, squeezing th intruder
out of nil semblance of an insect. As
soon as death stops tho struggles of tho
insect and the irritation ceases the leaf
slowly opons, drops the mangled remains
to the floor and automatically sets itself
for aaothcr victim. St. Louis Republic.

If there Is any one thing that boys
and girls, men and women crave alike,
it is independence in money matters.
Ilotro affection lessens almost in
proportion to the dependence of Its
grown up members upon one purse.
What is right for little children la de
tendence is unwise for adults. Many
fathers rieluda themselves with the
notion that, as one of them expressed
it, they could have more hold upon
their daughters' affection as long as
as they were dependent upon their parents.
"Let us go Into Fera's and have an
Ice cream, "said a girl who bad a yearly
allowance or f -iUO to a friend.
"Oh, I can't go there, i never have
money except for car fare," replied the

' I must go where father baa a bill,
Come with me to Weber's," and they
went.

EARNING MONEY BY BtCn OIRL9.
It Is said that rich girls ought not to
earn money, as by doing so they deprive
on ers el a livelihood.
it should be remembered that the
lependence of children, rich or poor,
s ofteu bo galling that they wish to
escape it. If they received ilxed allow
ances their financial dependence Is not
constantly brought before them.

five or forty to ask for money for this
or that. I know one woman of fifty

never had an allowance cr any large

Boys outgrow this pecuniary def ond-

It is a recognition of the individuality

jiot her wanted her to know how to
make her ovn dresses. So she divided
her allowance for her so much for

stands In the way of knowing what
this endowment means. llany

little be'ond the taxes and operative
expense. Until these lands oan be
rendered profitable no revenue va'ua
tion can be put upon them. The
real endowment is the $2,500,000 of
