"Living Stones" of the
Jalklamd Islands.
The most cuiious specimens of
vegetable or plant life in existence
are the so called “living stones'S of
the Falkland islands. Those islands
are amdng the most cheerless spots
in the world, being constantly sub
jected to a strong polar wind.
In such a climate it is impossible
for trees to grow erect, as they do
in other countries, but nature' has
made amends by furnishing a sup
ply of wood in the most curious
shape imaginable. The visitor to
the Falklands sees scattered here
and there singular shaped blocks of
what appear to be weather beaten
and moss covered bowlders in va
rious sizes.
Attempt to turn one of these
''bowlders” over and you will meet
with an actual surprise, because the
stone is actually anchored by roots
of great strength. In fact, you will
find that you are fooling with one
of the native trees.

a peculiar “forest” growth,
said to be next to impos-
ork the odd shaped blocks
because tho wood is per-
1 of grain and appears

Where ToyB Are Made.
Our forefathers hold some quaint
notions about the hedgehog. They
seemed to think that ho lived in
thorny hedges, because, his coat be
ing so full of prickles, he was safe
from being pricked by the thorns.
‘Another notion was that he, could
forecast the wind and was able to
tell the north from the south wind.
Country folk, and dairy maids espe
cially, loved him not, because he
was believed to suck thp.milk from
tlio cows. This notion, it is said, is
still found in some parts of Eng
land: It was also considered that
his spines were used for other pur
poses than defense. It was sup
posed that he was not only fond
of insects, but also of apples, pears
and other fruit, the which he car
ried on his prickles. HiB back thus
became a kind, of larder, from which
he drew stores when he felt anhun
gered. , .
i Wrongly AcousecL
Switzerland and Germany are two
countries where many of our cheap
toys come from, especially the
wooden ones, hut Paris is the most
important toy manufacturing cen-,
ter in the world.
More than 5,000 people in the city
of Paris earn their living by mak-;
ing toys. It is wonderful, what nice
toys are made out of almost noth-1
ing,
Mr. Carey's.
The late William Giuoy, for many
years with the Century company, is
6till spoken of affectionately by
most of the authors of this coun
try. He was a wit of the first order.
One day at the office of the mag
azine some one said:
“Say, Carey, what has been the
matter with B. lately ? He’s as blue
as indigo and refers dolefully to his
salad days.”
“Oh, that’s the time when he was
a lobster,” said Mr. Carey cheer
fully and at once.
At another time Mr. Carey was
lunching at the University club with
an old friend who had lately been
married. During the conversation
the frieiid said by chance that his
life was an open book.
“Well, you’d better not leave it
open when your mother-in-law is
around, unless it’s an expurgated
copy,” said Mr. Carey promptly.—

Corn Veraua Greek.
It has long been held that the ul
timate aim of education is culture.
Professor L. H. Bailey of Cornell
university says, “There is as much
culture, in the study of corn as there
is in the study of Greek.” Why not?
Wherein does culture consist? It
consists in an appreciation and love
of the x true, the beautiful and the
good. Where will you send your
children to find subjects of study
that manifest truth, beauty and util
ity if they cannot bo found in the
study of the atmosphere, soil, birds,
insects, plants and domestic ani
mate? '

His Altered Usefulness.
The scorching chauffeur lost con
trol of his machine, which dashed
through the wall of a writing fluid
factory and precipitated him into a
vat of finished product.
“Weld,” he muttered as he crawl
ed out, “I may be badly damaged,
but I’m still indispensable to a well
ordered o ffice desk
“How so ?” asked the surgeon.
“Because I’m a first class inky
racer.”—Baltimore News.
A Transformation.
Where Is Vny baby. I’d like to know?
I can’t dnd him anywhere.
I’ve searched In the closet and out In
' the hall
And even in grandfather's chair.
Only this morning I had a boy.
A baby In spotless white.
But now he lias left me and gone away;
I shan’t sleCp a wink this night
No little arms to coddle and hug
And smother me tight in their hold.
Could any one find my baby boy
I’d give him my weight In gold.
A silvery laugh fell on my ear,
And two lips of ruby res?
Said. "Mamma, your baby still Is here,
Bough now he wears trousers Instead."

Bird Migration.
The fact that day birds become
nocturnal at migration time, utter
ing notes used on no other occasion
in the year, that they fly at a speed
beyond their ordinary powers and
at heights beyond their ordinary
haunts, leads Dr. Gatke to believe
that they possess in their powers
of flight and soaring some principle
not employed on any other occasion
and hitherto not taken into account
by naturalists.
Ninety-eight Per Cent.
There is a fascination about
big profits to a business man.
But the conservative and cautious
trader prefers to have the lesser
per cent, of interest a,ud the lar
ger per cent, of safety in his in
vestments. There is no business
man who would not consider it a
sound proposition to invest in an
enterprise in which absolute loss
was impossible and which offered
ninety-eight chances in a hundred
of a riob profit. The statistics of
cures effected by Dr. Pierce’s Gol
den Medical Discovery show that
ninety-eight per cent, of cases of
“weak lungs” cau be absolutely
cured. Almost if not all formB
of physical weakness may be trac
ed to starvation. -Starvation saps
the strength. The body is just
as much starved when the stom
ach cannot extract nutrition from
the food it receives as when there
is no food. “Weaklungs,” bron
chial affections, obstinate coughs,
call for nourishment. “Golden
Medical Discovery” supplies that
nourishment in its most condens
ed and assimilable form. It
makes “weak luugs” strong, by
strengthening the stomach and
organs ..of digestion which digest
and distribute the food, and by
mcrejasing the supply of pure
