One of tlio immt wonilorfiil forest trees In the world Is the "cnnnlbul tree" of Australia, wltloh prows tip In the shnpe of a Inme pliieniiple nnd sel dom nttnlns o liolwlit of more thnn eleven feet. It hns n series of hrond, bonilllllio lenves, (trowing In a frltiRe at the npex, which reminds one of a glunntlc Centrnl Anierlcnn native. When stnmliiiK erect, these lironu, thick lenves hide n curious lookltiR nr- rstiRomettt, which uppenrs to perform the snme functions ns those of the pistils In flowers. Nnturnlly these bonrdlike lenves, which nre from ten to twelve feet long In the sinnller specimens nnd from fifteen to twenty in the lnrgor, hnng to the ground nnd are strong enough to brnr a mnn's weight In old nhorlglnnl times In the anti podean wllils the nntlves worshiped the cannlhnl tree under the name of the "devil tree," the chief part of the ceremony consisting of driving one of their number up the lenves of the tree to the npex. The Instant the victim would touch the so cnlled "pistils" of tho monster the lenves would Instnntly fly together like n trap, siiucer.lng the life out of the Intruder. Early travel ers declared thnt the tree held Its vic tim until every particle of flesh ills appeared. On this account It is called the "cannibal tree." Misquotations. In n letter to the Huston Transcript on the subject of misquotations a cur respondent says: "1 have lu my scrap- book three notnhle examples from the Thanksgiving proclamations of the gov ernors of different states. Governor Bell of Texas began his with. 'Now is tho winter of our discontent made glorious summer, in the words of Holy Writ' "I once intended a funeral In the country where the clergyman's open ing rcninrb. was: '.My bereaved friends, you have loved and lost the demised. It has been truly said: "It Is Impossible to solve the biography of death." That Is, my bereaved friends, the only way for us to look at It.' "An acquaintance of mine tells me thnt Cyrus Burleigh, one of the well known writers of llfty years ago. told her that he had Just come from a Quaker meeting where he saw a woman speaker rise and with a 'Quaker tone' sny: ' "A boss, n boss, my kingdom for a boss." Doubtless, my friends, the Inspired psalmist, when he penned these words, meant u spirit ual hosB. That was all she said, and she solemnly resumed her place on the high seats." Long Distance Courtships. Sketching one day In Burma, nn English artist noticed a man a little distance off glaring fiercely straight ahead at him. at some object be could not see from his position. The man sat with the same fixed glare the whole afternoon and was lit it again next morning. The artist had the curiosity to ask an English visitor what It meant The reply was. "Oh, he Is lu love!"- And It was explnlned that this was their method of courtship. The object of. the man's attentive gaze was a girl In a neighboring ba gaar. When a young man falls In love, he has to seat himself at a certatu dis tance from his adored one and wait for her to do the rest. If she looks In his direction once or twice on tho first or second day. he Is wildly encouraged, and if ou the third day she nods to him and smiles It Is time to go to the parents with reference to the marriage settlements. London Tit-IJIts. The Thoosrhtful Stork. On a tree close to a house within a short dlstanco to the river or canal there was a storks' nest with young ones. The roof of tho bouse caught fire one day, and, though the flames did not actually reach the tree, tho heat became scorching. So the mother stork flew down to the water, got into It and drenched her breast; thon, re turning to her young, she spread the mass of cool, wet feathers all over them. This she repeated over and over again, flying to the river, going down Into the water and returning, her plum age drenched with wet. And thus the nest was saved, and the tender nestlings were preserved alive until the fire bad been got under control nnd all was safe. The truth of this remarka ble story was vouched for by more than one eyewitness. Starboard and Larboard. The Italians derived "starboard" from questa borda, "this side." and "larboard" from quclla borda, which means "that side." Abbreviated these two phrases appear as sta borda and la borda. Their close resemblance caused so many mistakes that the admiralty ordered the "larboard" to be discon tinued and "port" substituted. "Port" for "larboard" Is said to be first used In Arthur Pltt'a "Voyages" Ip 1850. i Twlttlaa- Facts. "Van Wither made an unfortunate remark at Sumner's wedding fester day."

In the olden time In England lords and ladies sometimes Invented queer amusements. They were always on the lookout for some novelty, nnd one of the strangest they discovered wns fishing by a goose. A line with a baited hook attached having been fastened to the goose, tied to Its leg, she was Hung Into the witter from the boat in which were all the gay lords and ladles. Then, when a pike caught the bolt, she was sport Indeed, a royal battle between bird and llsli. and all the time, between the loud splnsblngs. wheelings and Ilounilci'lngs, the onlookers In the bunt giving vent to their feelings In cheers, hnnilclnpplugH and handkerchief war ing. But the goose was usually the victor, and elided the struggle by binding Its prisoner ou the shore, where Its quack, quack, as It cleared Itself from the line and waddled away ended the scene. The lake of Montelth In the southwest of Perthshire was often the scene of such angling matches. The nihle and l.air. A certain well known Inwyer. whose wife Is almost an Invalid.

When gravy Is being made from ronst veal, hunb, beef or chicken, use milk instead of water added lo the brown drippings left In tho pan after the fut hns been poured off. Before baking a bitterish the Creole cooks pour over It a snuce niude from fresh or canned tomatoes lu which garlic Is chopped.

A Clever Horse, A (treat many horses nro fed on the streets from "cntbngs" drawn up over their noses nnd wabbling about In a manner which must muko It very un comfortable to cat one's dinner In that wuy. The Boston Herald tells of a bright horse down In "Pie Alley" which had nenrly reached the bottom of bis bag.

If Unit was not a triumph of mind over matter, what was It? Row to Keep 0000. One of the secrets of keeping young, vigorous and supple Jointed is to con tinue to practice tho activities of youth and to refuse to allow the uilnd to stiffen the muscles by Its suggestion of age limitations.

The doctor hears some curious noises when ho pluees the stethoscope against your chest. When the lungs are in a healthy condition, the medical gentle man hears 0 pleasant, breezy sound, suit In tone, us you draw In the breath nnd expel It. Should the Instrument convey to Ids ear a gurgling or bub bling sound be makes a mentnl note of the fact Hint you nre In whnt Is known ns the mo'st stage of bronchitis. In the dry stage of the snme complaint the sound Is 11 whistling, wheesy one. One of the signs of pneumonln Is the crackling note thnt conies through the stethoscope. It Is not unlike the sound that can be heard when your finger and thumb have touched n sticky sub stance and you first place them to gether nnd then part them, holding them close to your enr. Doctors oeenslonnlly hear a dripping sound, and that Indicates that nlr nnd water linve got Into some pnrt of the chest where they have no right to be. Blow across n bottle, and you will pro duce a sound which Is actually to be heard In your chest. It Is caused In the snme wny that Is, by air passing over a cavity. The Lack of Reserve, "He hnd no reserve." How often we hear this expression on 'change or In the street when a firm hns failed or When n business man hns been pushed to the wnlll It would make a fitting epitaph for the grave of ninny a fail ure. A niuii without reserve Is like a condemned, leaky vessel. On a calm day It can be towed from port to port but It would be utterly helpless In a storm. Many fall from lack of reserve of education, of early training, of solid. Ingrained luililt. Others full from lnck of reserve of savings, of capital. Many have gone down from the lack of char acter reserve, or health reserve, of friendship reserve. It pays to store up reserve of every kind, to be prepared for every i-i:;cigcucy. Too exhausting effort, too extravagant expenditure, too reckless during or too much reliance on unknown factors leaves no margin or reserve, so that a slip would mean a certain full. -Success. A Scotch Superstition. "In a rccilit visit 1 paid to friends abroad I came across a superstition thut was new to me," said a traveler the other dhy. "One day at dinner somebody hit it glass, which began the ringing. Jingling noise that Is familiar when i.'lassware Is struck, nnd Imme diately 11 not lit r guest covered the piece with his hands so us to uiullle the sound Every one present said, "flint's right; stop the ringing.' I found out on Inquiring that when one causes this ringing of a glass piece to cense It saves a human life from drowning. How the notion orlglnnted I can't ex plain, but these people I speak of were Intelligent and not generally given to cherishing absurd notions. It Is snld to be n Scotch superstition, but none of my friends could throw light on Its origin." A Storj of Charles James Fox. A gambling story Is told of Charles James Pox that rather reflects on his honor. He was one of the ardent ad mirers of Mrs. Crewe, M noted beauty of her day. and It Is related that a gentleman lust a considerable sum to this lady ut piny und, being obliged to leave town suddenly, gave Mr. Pox the money to pay her. begging him to apol ogise to her for his not having paid the debt of honor In person. Pox lost ev ery shilling 0 It beforo morning. Mrs. Crewe often met the supposed debtor afterward aud, surprised that he never noticed the circumstances, at length delicately hinted the nintter to him. "Bless me!" snld be. "I paid the mon ey to Mr. Fox threo months ago." "Oh, did you, sir?" said Mrs. Crewe good nnturcdly. "Then probably be paid me and I forgot It" a witty Reply; At a Lpndoq dinner General Horace Porter was once referred to by the chairman In the following way: "We hnve here tonight General Horace Por ter, and I call upon him for a speech.

'The fcteeated Railroad Man and the ' Circus Man Work Alike, New York ticket sellers for the ele vnted ronds do their work with a celer ity equaled only by the lightning change artist of a big circus. How do they manage It? Peep Into one of the llttlo ticket otllces. and yon will see that the methods of the man Inside ore Identical with those of the circus man. There Is only one wny of selling tickets rapidly, whether at an "L" sta tion or from the red wngon of a circus. When you hand In your money through Abe little opening, your apln or green back goes to the ticket seller's left, and from that side comes the ticket, which he tears off from the long strip with his right hand. Almost nltmilts noously the snme hnnd shoves put your change, for he hns the exact change for your coin or bill ready, counted out and piled up. Close to bis right hand. Just Inside the little window, are 1 lot of nickels for changing dimes. Next to these are nickels nnd dimes arranged with 20 cetits In each pile, ready for the mnn with a quarter. Then there are a lot of forty-five cent piles and others containing 03 cents, so he doesn't need to stop to count out your chunge. If yon cnll for two tickets nnd band In a dollnr. the ticket seller takes n nickel from one or the ninety-live cent piles and Instantly has the chance thnt you require, and whenever there Is a lull In the st renin or ticket buyers the man behind the window replenishes his piles of change., so that he Is seldom caught without Just the amount you need already counted out for you.

Not Ions ago a trial was re ported where a man sued a medicine concern which had offered $100 for a case their remedy could not cure. The man had taken the remedy but had not been cured. The defence was that he had not taken the medicine long enough. He did not set the $100. We allude to this because we want to show that Vinol does not give a slippery guarantee. If the user comes back with his empty bottle and says, "I can't see that it did me any good," we say, "Sorry you happen to be among the few less than two In One hundred here's your dollar 1" Vinol Is a non-secret pleasant compound of cod liver oil, (greatest medicinal food known), Iron, and mild table wine.
