INSTINCTS OF PLANTS. . bom e ® Instances in Which. It Stems to Equal That of Animals. As Ao «« an observer, ~ in • my , long Ufe ,, a I nave noticed strange explorations the roots cf plants and especially o’ for * v pot l trPft- trees. Some years slp.ee I war, making a road throu-/h a pasture. I came across a g-.ean. roc-t half an inch, in diameter. I look d about to S3S where t.h'tro -was tree. In looking up a ster^p. hill, at ut fifty feet, away, J saw ? ft, ash t rer about sight inches in dir Arts, and front this tree the root /nape. I did 4 ft trace this root to i’-S 'end as I jftoald have dons, but kn ,/vrine swing th=> m wsnee tiisisneo to to the water, c a lower land below me, and the size of the root where I cut it in two, 1 estimated the root must have gone twenty-ave feet more, making saven ty-flve feet in all the root must have traveled to obtain water. Vines, including all that grow itt ■gardens, such as grapes, squashes, pumpkins, also cucumbers and mel ons, In their natural state, climb where they hay© a chance. I have had squashes climb nigh in trees and bear good sized squashes, so that I would have to give them support that they might grow to maturity. Mar¬ ket gardeners say that a squash run¬ ning ;[long on the ground In coming under the limb of an apple tree o r «nv an ; °Rier tree ^ v. in ill lift nc» Itself t. to t»b* * fair, udV support, and then fall 1>ack. h JL S *l T P ’,T a Ilsh of vtater to the right or left of f "he terminal point of a vine and a little forward the vine will go for the ■wafer in wnateter . . direction .. the , WLter may be s' I have known butternut and elm ’trees to send their roots thirty or forty feet down a stoep hill to a run ning brook of water. It has been re¬ corded that a well was dug twenty five feet from a tree and lined up with cement, and ihe well covered. The water was conveyed to the house : in a wooden pipe. In the pipe •was a knothole and In time the water began to fall, besides acquiring a <«trange taste On Investigation It, was found that the well was partial If filled with the roots of the tree. A root found the knot hole twenty five, feet away and so found the water at last. A tree in California sent out a root j foraging for water, so It followed j i the line of . a sower, ..... following Its eas-j lug until it reached a high brick wall, j in which several foet up there was j a small hole leading to the other side. The root made for this hole, passing through It, then it ran down on the j other side, finding the water sought. Some years ago I read of a case where there was a well on one side | of a hcase and a wlllbw tree on the "other side. In the course of time the tree sent a root under the cellar bottom to the other side of the house and cellar, reaching the water at last, I 'in my own case, many years ago I; conveyed water from a spring to the farm buildings In what, we called ■pump logs. The logs getting some¬ what decayed, the root of a maple standing some ten or twelve feet ’away and a little down hill found Us way Into the logs and filled them to such an extent that the water at the buildings was minus. On exploring, we found the trouble as related. Mysterious are many of the works of nature. How do the roots and vines know where to find water? Is it vegetable Instinct? If It Is, even then ft is mysterious.—Timothy Wheeler In the New York Tribune. i ' Came Near Finding Out. ’ Among examples of American hu¬ mor, recently given In the Nineteenth Century and After, Is a story which a bright ornament of the English bench is said to have tolu more than once. 'A speaker in a Western town had Started out to show that there might be great differences between national and local reputation. He had said, “A man can’t always tel! what his neigb hors think of him.” when he was In terrupted by one of his hearers. , “I camo mightly near knowing once," said the man, with a remlnis cent look, “but the Jury disagreed " - HOME AR< • “Now Isn’t that steak a perfec poem?" asked Mtu.

Besides, there were I blooded sheep and swine. All In all, Webster was cr-,)dered ; by his neighbors the best farmer of the country He was, moreover, a friend generous and considerate.
