up to the strong points of the News and the spirit of
enterprise displayed by its publisher; new subscrib
ers are coming* to the paper; and the great piano
contest promises to be of unexpected magnitude.

The Caserta Camellia Tree.
In the days of Its glory the palace at
Caserta of the king of Naples had
among Its features a so called English
garden, made In 1782 by order of Marie
Caroline of Austria. It was bright with
flowers and wonderful rare oriental
plants and trees, so that It was re
nowned throughout the world, but the
crown and glory of all counted In a
camellia tree, a plant then unknown
In Europe. The seeds were collected
as though flakes of gold, and the <iuoeu
used to give them and cuttings of tills
camellia as presents to her friends.
These cuttings were most highly prised,
and thus It has become a European
flower, so much so that the exporta
tion of camellias Is an extensive Indus
try In central Italy, and In Germany
there nre vast fields of them. In Its
palmy days the Caserta plant hnd eight
branches, the largest of which was
twelve Inches In diameter, the whole
being thirty feet high. Tills mother
plant was in a flourishing condition up
to a few years ago, but lately the gor
geous garden has been Allowed to fall
Into decay, and with it the glorious
camellia.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Illrils Have Favorite Plant.,
I,Ike mqn, birds have tbelr favorite
plants. It has been discovered that tho
goldfinch is passionately fond of apple
blossom. Tills may be because Its fa
vorite building site Is In the lichen
covered forks of apple trees, but apart
from such attachment the bright little
finch frequently spends hours tearing
the petals into tiny fragments. Though
the nightingale never builds In the
thorn boughs, It loves to sing on may
luden branches, often In the very midst
of the fragrant blossoms. It Is some
what peculiar that most birds avoid
the cow parsnip, owing, no doubt, to the
unpleasant greenish smell emitted by
this umbelliferous plant. Small birds
very often build In loss secure pluces,
but the parsnip, gigantic and strong ns
It is. Is left severely alone.—London

What Mnke. the Trout Shjrf
The shyness of the summer trout of
tlie still sprlnghole Is duo not entirely
to his keen eye trained by the quietude
of transparent waters. It Is to be cred
ited more to his gregarlousness. The
cool places and deeper pools of the
trout stream are upt to be few and blvo
the tisli in schools. If the school num
ber, say. fifty fish It means a hundred
watchful eyes and a collective shyness
adjusted to that of the most timid fish
of the fifty, whose sudden dash to safe
ty gives the warning signal to all. A
single nervous trout—and there are
usually several—la thus enough to scat
ter a big school In a Hash and bntlle the
hopes of the angler.—Clarence Doming

Tobacco brave*.
A scientist writes: “The essential
quality for which tobacco Is smoked or
eliewod lies not really In tho leaves
themselves, but Is contained In thou
sands of hollow knobbed hull's which
cover their surface. The vital nleotlue
Is garnered in these pear-like balls, but
as It is Impossible to sluive off these
bull's and would bo a scarcely com
mendable achievement If It could be
undertaken It becomes necessary to
preserve the whole foliagu for com
mercial purposes.”
