A Talented Plant.
“One plaut at least has been patent¬
ed,” said an iuveutor. “It Is the Abrus
preeatorlus. alias paternoster pea, alias
weather plaut. John Nowack took out
.he patent. The weather plant Is still
relieved by many persons to foretell
the weather. John Nowack was sure It
Old so, and he put It on the market
along with an Indicating apparatus,
guaranteeing It to foretell for forty
eight hours In advance and for fifty
miles around fog, rain, snow, hail,
earthquake and depressions likely to
cause explosions of tire damp. Alas
for poor Nowack! The experts of the
bureau of agriculture took up his pat¬
ented plant. They proved that the
movements of the leaves—to the right
foretelling rain, to the left foretelling
drought—were not caused by the
weather, but by the light. And they
proved that the plant's funmus down¬
ward movement, which was supposed
to foretell earthquake, was caused by
an insect that punctured the stem,
causing the leaf, naturally, to droop.
That is the only patented plant 1
know of, and Nowack lost money on
It.”
nuyliiK Birds lo Free Thi m.
Birds are often purchased in the bird
market at Lucknow, India, in order to
be set free again. This is done by Hin¬
doos as a work of merit and by Mo¬
hammedans after certain rites have
been performed as an atonement, in
Imitation of the Jewish scapegoat.. It
is essential that a bird used for this
purpose should be strong enough to Uy
away; but that docs not induce the
cruel dealers to feed the birds, or to
refrain from dislocating their wings or
breaking their legs. They put down
everything to good or bad luck, and
leave the customer to choose a strong
bird, If he can find one, and to go away
if he cannot. The merit obtained by
setting a bird free Is not attributed to
Deity, but It is supposed to come In a
large measure from the bird Itself or
from its attendant spirit, and hence
birds of good or bad omen, nud cs
peel ally kites and crows, arc In much
demand and are regularly caught to be
sold for fills purpose.
“Home, Sweet Horae.”
Probably no one would have been
more surprised than Sir Henry Bishop
himself could be have foreseen that a
single melody In one of his numerous
operas would achieve such celebrity
that at the present day it is still sung
by lending priuiti donnas at fashionable
concerts, Jangled on street organs amt
loved by a vast public that knows noth
lug of music, properly so called, as the
purest repysentatiou of the English
spirit—“Home, Sweet Home.” “C’lari,
the Maid of Milan," the opera in which
this favorite song occurred, has long
been consigned to the limbo of forgot
ten musical works, but "Home, Sweet
Home,” survives with undiminished
popularity and is likely to survive
when many more pretentious eomposl
turns have followed “The Maid of
Milan” Into oblivion.-Cornel! Mag

Women and Mirrors.
“We carry lots of women clear to the
top floor or at least several floors up
aud then they take the next elevator
down without going three steps away
from the elevator,” declared the opera
tor of one of the “lifts” In a big office
building. “No, it isn’t because they
like to ride in the elevators particular
ly. Why do they do it? To get the
use of the mirrors, of course, See
those mirrors on either side of the ele¬
vator? That’s what attracts them. A

A thlneae Unci.
A Chinaman was killed recently iu
Bangkok in a duel with another of his
race. The Chinese method of dueling
is interesting, but does not seem dead¬
ly. These two Bangkok Chinamen
fought with the two forefingers of
each hand, stabbing each other with
these In the region of the spleen and
ut the same level on the other side of
the body. The men who go In for this
kind of contest practice every morn¬

them like a piece of Iron.
Death by Bolling.
In old England, before the law was
passed which prohibited "cruel and un¬
usual forms of punishment,” murder
ers were often condemned to death by
boiling. In such cases the victims
were chained in large kettles of cold
water, which was gradually heated
until It caused the flesh to drop from
the bones. The last English victim of
the “boiling death" was one Rouse, a
cook, who, it was alleged, had killed
seventeen persons.

Knowledge of direction seems to be
Instinctive with the Burmans, says the
author of “A People at School.” They
always reckon by the needle, njt by
relative position. They do not say
“Turn to the right,” but "Turn to the
west.” If a table In a room has two
tumblers on It, one of them will be the
east tumbler, the other the w est, and
the table Itself will be not the "table
near the window,” but the "table in the
east of the room.” So they speak of
the north or south side of a street or
of a tree, not the shady or sunny side.
Even In rain or mist they know the
direction at once. An English traveler,
walking In the Burrnan forest on a
foggy morning to find all trace of the
road wiped out by rain and every ap¬
parent means of ascertaining direc¬
tion gone, was at a loss what to do,
but his Burmau servants knew at
once. “That is north,” they said, point¬
ing, “and that Is east. Our course lies
between,” and straight to the north¬
east they marched unerringly.
Helgoland Soap.
What do the Ilelg danders do with
their birds? Some arc senUaway to
the Hamburg market and thJ'res^kept
for home consumption. Roasting be¬
fore a slow fire, with the tail on, over,
toast, Is practically an unknown art
or at least one rarely practiced. Every¬
thing goes into the pot for soup. “Tros
selsoup” is an institution much lauded.
Mr. Gatke tells us how it should be
prepared. Take care to commit forty
or fifty thrushes, according to the re¬
quirements of the family, to the soup
pot, and do not have the fattest birds
drawn, and if the cook is a true artist
no one will fail to ask a second helping.

Beggars Who Take the “Care.”
Begging seems to be n lucrative call¬
ing In Vienna. In one of the district
police courts a man and his wife were
summoned to appear on a charge of
begging in the streets. Only the wo¬
man appeared, and iu answer to the
magistrate’s questions stated that her
husband had goue to Baden to take a
cure! The prosecuting attorney re¬
marked that the Viennese beggars
earned such good Incomes and lived so
well that they were forced to go to
some bath resort to recover from their
high living. Only a few days ago, he
said, a begg.-lr well known in the Vlen
»a police courts had returned from
Carlsbad after taking the cure there
and had resumed bis begging with
renewed vigor. Pali Mall Gazette,

W* ■»<**. many of them having learn
ed from experience that he will pay
next to nothing on the best quality of

that all the articles sold at auction are

make a big mistake. The pawnbroker
seldom sells any pledged articles at
these auction sales. He uses them slm

A Glimpse of Cailfle.
One day Carlyle suddenly stopped at
a street crossing and, stooping, picked
up something out of the mud. oven at
the risk of being knocked down and
run over by passing vehicles. With his
bare hands he gently rubbed the mud
from It. He then took it to the pave¬
ment and laid it down on a clean spot
on the curbstone. ’‘That,’’ said the old
man In u tone of tenderness he rarely
used, “Is only a crust of bread. Yet I
was taught by my mother never to
waste nuythiug-above all, bread, more
precious than gold. I am sure that the
little sparrows or a hungry dog will
get nourishment from this bit of
bread.”
The Kingfisher.
Many and curious are tljp legends of
the kingfisher. One of these is to the
effect that the hlrd was originally a
plain gray in color, but upon being let
loose from the nrk flew toward the
setting sun and had Its back stained
blue by the sky and Its lower plumage
scorched by the sun to gorgeous hues.
The dried body of the kingfisher was
ouoe used as a charm against thunder
bolts and moths, and it was hung up
so that it might point with Its bill to
the wind’s quarter.

The Bird'. Bill Wna tracked.
A curious bird tragedy is told about
In the London Field. A man found a
yellow hammer dead la his yard at
the foot of a wall. The bird had flown
against tt with such force ns to be
stunned. Not only that, but the upper
mandible had been bent back, aud in
the straightening out the sharp point
was driven down through the lower
bill and locked, thus dooming the bird
to death by starvation. The man sent
the head to the Field. A good many
similar accidents have been recorded,
but it was always a heavier bird, whose
weight made the springing of the bill
easier. A good many of the birds were
f 0 „nd in a starved condition, showing
tj U it they died lingering deaths from
„- an j of food. Birds that fly against
q,,, lighthouses have the skull bones
crushed and die instantly, but others
are stunned only,

select Jersey,” remarked a Hoboken
lawyer the other day. “Over there,”
said he, "we still do business on lines
laid out by the common law. For ex¬
ample, under the laws of New Jersey
a husband is entitled to all the per¬
sona! property left by his deceased
wife. Across the river the case Is
quite different, because under the laws

ceased wife's personal estate goes to
her children and the residue reverts to
her husband. Only where there are no
