Boston “Buffs.” “Buffs” they call them, that ancient and honorable body of citizens who would rather go to a fire than get money from home and who race to ev ery two, three or four alarm blaze in the vicinity of Greater Boston at any hour of the day or night. “Buffs? Boston Is full of them,” said an old member of the fire depart ment. “There must be from 800 to 1,000 buffs in the city. Most of them wouldn’t miss a fire for any money. Why, if we didn’t have the buff advis ory council on the sidewalk at a blaze to tell the firemen how to do it, we should feel lost. We call them the armchair engineer corps. But some times they’re mighty useful. For In stance, they will provide tobacco and coffee for the regular firemen, and, be sides this, some of them are good fire fighters and frequently help us out when we’re fighting a fire short handed." “Where did they get their names?” he was asked. “Buffs is derived from buffaloes. It means a bunch who roam around. You see these men are always lokijwp4||i fire, so they are called buffs.”—Boston Herald. A Queer Tale of Japan. In one of his letters Lafcadio Hearn tells a strange story of the queer ways In Japan. A peasant consulted an as trologer about his mother’s blindness. He was told she would get her- sight back if she would eat a little human liver taken fresh and from a young body. “The peasant went home cry ing and told his wife. She said: ‘We have only one boy; he is beautiful. You can get another wife as good or better than I very easily, but might never be able to get another son. Therefore you must kill me instead of the son and give my liver to your mother.’ They embraced, the hus band killed her with a sword and cut out the liver and began to cook it, when the child awoke and screamed. Neighbors and police came. In the police court the peasant told the tale with childish frankness and cited sto ries from the Buddhist scriptures. The j edges were moved to tears. They did not condemn the man to death; they gave him only nine years In pris on. Really the man who ought to have been killed was the astrologer.” This happened in Hearn’s own neigh borhood while he was there. Tax Recivers Notice: 3rd Round.

C ASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Tlie Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the /UJir /? Signature of The Drinking Orchid. One of the most remarkable plants* known to horticulturists is the drink ing orchid, which is found in Soutli America. This orchid takes a drink whenever it feels thirsty by means ot! a tube which it lets down into the wa ter. The tube when not in use is coll ed up on the top of the plant. The formation of the orchid is different from others of its species, having) sharp leaves, lane** heaji shaped, grow ing round the root and radiating ffoni it. From the center of the plant hangs the tube, ‘about one-eighth of an inch thick and one-fourth of an inch wide. When touched it gradually contracts and rolls itself up in a spiral-like coll. Asa rule, these orchids are to be found growing directly over the water or where water has been, and in the lat ter case it is almost| pathetic to see how the tube will "rk its way over the ground to a pool or river.
