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. lUw.rSi of Llltralirt, A very talented and well known writer—successful, too, In the popular estimation—tolls me: "I know a man who spent fifteen years’ leisure In get- I ting the material for his best book and writing It over three times, then offer ed It to aliuoet every publisher In America, meeting with refusal by all, and finally sold It to a London pub lisher for £.10, had It republished In 1 America some years afterward, got a few dollars before tho publishers fail ed and as his last royalty received Just 2 cents, which wns exactly 10 per cent of the Inst sum due him.

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 Opinion. 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 In Outing Mugasdne.

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.” Where the Money Came From.
