sensitive plant, and makes on* almost
wander whether the plant has Intelli

ters of the book, while sitting with the
family on the broad piazza which form
ed the front of the bungalow of a
coffeo plantation recognized a thrifty
sensitive plant, and It was made the
subject of remark. He called bis

The child did so; laughing gleefully,
and cam* away. The plant gave no tok

pretty child.
“Now,” said the host, “will you touch
the plant?’

with one hand extended, and before It
had come fairly In contact the nearest

“The plant knows the child," said
the doctor, “but you are a stranger.”
