SEVERAL PAKISTAN DENS RARE COMBINATIONS OF LUXURY, COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE. The Sanctums of Scientists, Critics and Literary Geniuses of World Wide Rep- utations ?Where the Uright Lights Re- tire to Do Their Chosen Work. The sanctum of M. Louis Pasteur, for example, is one of the most simple in the high order of trulyphysical comfort. It is not encumbered with the scientific paraphernalia often met with in the nouses of medical men. A large carved oak table stands by the side of the arm- chair in which the great scientist often aits in quiet contemplation of his past experience and future hopes. In that high stack of green cases at which he casts un occasional glance stores of vain- able notes are classed in perfect order. They are ready for reference should a fresh problem arise in the course of his labors in bringing about the prevention or cure of that terrible affliction to the study of which he has devoted so many years of his valuable and successful life. M. Pasteur usually wears a close fitting skull cap when in his sanctum. He is grand cross of the Legion of Honor, mem- ber of the French academy and perpetual secretary of the Academy of Scicncea THE QTJr.»T TOWER BUILDER. M. Gustave Eiffel, the engineer whose wonderful popularity has grown so rap- idly, is accustomed to ruminate in a quiet looking but very comfortable sort, of library. He is fond of walking about when in deep calculation, and frequently makes a halt in front of his admirable chimney piece, the shelf of which is sur- mounted by a very chaste and beautiful female bust. On each side of tbe chim- ney piece is a handsome Venetian mir- ror. It was in this sanctum, situated in the Rue de Prony, that M. Gustave Eiffel solved the last few serious difficulties which at one time threatened the com- pletion of his Champ de Mars triumph; and there it is that he now meditates over the opposition formed by some of the members of the municipal council to his project for the construction of the Metropolitan railway for Paris. The main objections to tbe metropolitan scheme are that it would destroy the beauty of the boulevards and ruin the line of omnibuses running from the Madeleine to the Bastile. It is not at all unlikely that the engineer who tri- umphed so gloriously in the case of his tower will achieve another victory with tne railway he proposes to construct. The man of the iron tower is a* officer of the Legion of Honor. M. Francisqne Sarcey, the well known theatrical critic of The Temps, and one of the brightest of the galaxy of Pari- sian chroniclers, inhabits during his long working hours a library in which he is almost surrounded by his books. M. Sarcey is beyond what is usually consid- ered the prime of life, yet he looks well as, "with spectacles on nose," and wearing a soft and smooth white beard, he poses himself carefully and closely over his table in front of the copy he is carefnlly preparing. He is reputed to be a model of gallantry toward the la- dies; but the case might be reversed when it is considered that the lady art- ists whom it is his duty to criticise not infrequently call at his house to ask a favor or an act of justice for their pro- fessional requirements. There are two places where Sarcey may very often be met with; one is his library, and the other is his fauteuil d'orchestre, when- over a grand performance or a premiere representation is given at any of the principal Parisian theatres. WEAVERS OF ROMANCE. M. Georges Ohnet, the celebrated ro- mancist and dramatist, still young and handsome, with his smooth dark hair carefully brushed and parted, usually sits in pensive attitude in one of those Insurious armchairs with which his study abounds. The sculptured chimney piece by the side of which he takes his place in winter is a work of art iv three stories, surmounted by a beautiful clock and a looking glass out of old or young human reach. The author of the "Maitre de Forges" is one of the most amiable of Parisian litterateurs, as all who have visited him at his charming residence in the Avenue Trudiane can affirm. M. Georges Ohnet is as young in the Order of the Legion of Honor as he is in his age; but with time both may surely be expected to ripen and advance to a brill- iant maturity. M. Emile Zola dwells in the artistic quarter Clichy, where, in the Rue Hallo, he possesses a sumptuously furnished sanctum, provided with sofas, peacock pictures of the greatest beauty, stat- uettes, evergreens and objects of art in every variety. All these strikingly ap- parent comforts and delights combine to encourage that inclination for the dolce far niente to which the indefatigable pretender to academical honors does not for one moment yield. With his limpid hair falling in a loose style on each side of his head, after the manner of many popular knights of the palette, he con- tinues to wear the same binocle as when he wrote "L'Assommoir" and "LaTerre." In fact Zola, by his free and easy ap- pearance, looks more like an artiste peintre than a literary man. He may be considered a painter also, since he writes pictures with his pen almost as vividly as those who paint them with their brushes. M. Emile Zola is a chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and the red rib- bon is well placed and well merited as the reward of his profound thought, bold imagination and vigorous expres- sion that are sometimes severely criti- cised but invariably admired. ?Galig- nani's Messenger. i The Phoenicians are amongst the earli- est nations which are supposed to have used the saw. The scholar is not sur- prised to find a very pretty story ac- counting for the discovery of the saw ir, Grecian mythology. Here theinvento; is said to have found the jawbone of b snake, which he imitated by jagging v:; iron plate. A itfuhnch I'ix.utatlon. The work of gathering and drying the buhash blossoms is in full blast at the buhach plantation. About one hundred men are scattered through the fields picking the blossoms. As fast as they are picked they are stowed away about two inches deep in wooden boxes, the .boxes being 2_ feet square. Wagons are employed in hauling the boxes to the drying house. Probably it is called a drying honse because it is alongside of the spot where the drying is done. Cer- j tainly no artificial heat is needed at the buhach plantation to dry anything at this time of the year. The sun's rays come down within the inclosure of big poplar trees with a force that makes it pleasant to stand from | under. The trays are allowed to lie I there, the blossoms being stirred up by : a force of men until they (the blossoms) : are fairly cured. Afterward they are placed on a large platform about sixty feet square, where they remain until ; dry, and then are sent to the reduction i works, where they are ground into dust. ! This is done by men who are proof ; against sneezing, otherwise it could not be done at all. Whether or not it makes . flies and mosquitoes sneeze we don't \ know, but it is certainly the best pre- ; ventive in use to keep those insects at a distance.?Merced (Cal.) Star. A l iving Skeleton. A living skeleton, who rivals some of ! those who figure in the museums, was found by the police in a garret in Alle- -1 gheny. He is six feet high and weighs but forty-five pounds. He can't account for his loss of flesh. He declares he feels all right, though very weak, and has had no serious illness. He is a foreigner and unable to speak English. About two years ago, he says, he first noticed that ;he was getting thin, but as he felt well he paid no attention to it. He continued, however, to lose flesh, and the past spring, finding himself nothingbut "skin and bone," he went to the country, but ; neither the change nor doctors did him any good, and about a week ago he re- turned to Allegheny. Being without jrelatives, he went to the garret to await death, but neighbors hearing of the case 1 directed the attention of the police to it. and the man was removed to the station house and subsequently to the city ! home.?Philadelphia Ledger. A New Kind of Cotton. I A new variety of cotton plant, pre- ; ducing a much larger proportion of cot- ton to seed than any other known kind, i and having the additional advantage of being earlier and less susceptible to at- mospheric influences, sounds like good news for the Lancashire mills. The newcomer is known as the mitafife. It | was discovered a few seasons ago at Benha, in Egypt, though it has only lately been planted on anything like a large scale. Mitafifeis admitted to have its faults. It is shorter in the staple and not quite so good in quality as the ashmouni plant, but for all that it ap- pears to be driving the ashmouni plant out of the field. Vice Consul Alban re- ports that last year's experience was so encouraging that in some provinces of lower Egypt it has this year been almost exclusively sown.?London News. A Mermaid in the Orkneys. An interesting spectacle has recently beeYi seen in the Orkneys. It is proba- bly the first of its kind ever authenti- cated in living memory. Acorrespond- ent writes: "What is said to be a mermaid has been seen for some weeks at stated times at Southside, Deerness. Itis about six to seven feet in length, with a little black bead, white neck and snow white body and two arms. In swimming it appears just like a human being. At times it will come very close inshore and appear to be sitting on a sunken rock, and will wave and work its hands. It has never been seen en- tirely out of water. Many persons who doubted its genuineness now suppose it to be a deformed seal."?Table. Swung a Scythe for Eighty Years. Horace Skinner, who is nearly 90 years old, mowed two tons of hay recently with a scythe. He afterward spent a week at Hyannis, and is now feeling fresh and vigorous. Mr. Skinner has mowed more or less every season for over eighty years.?Mansfield (Mass.) News. The Big Sunflower of Brockton. Isaac P. Osborne, of Brockton Heights, has a sunflower ten feet five inches high, which has thirty-five blossoms on it. He says he thinks this takes the cake for sunflowers. ? Brockton (Mass.) Enter- prise. A pair of belligerent bulls engaged in a fierce battle on the track of the Astoria and South Coast railroad the other day, and for nearly half an hour the trainmen were unable to drive them away in order to get the train through. Huge clubs were worn out over the heads and backs of the animals, but without avail, until at last they grew weary and sullenly scrambled away. Death has an odd way of picking out its victims. Atraveler went quietly to bed in a Pennsylvania town recently, and before morning a locomotive off the track ran into the house and killed him as he slept. "Railroad" hotels are usu- ally uucomfortable enough at the best, but itrhas been supposed that they were safer sleeping places than the track. M. do Brazza, the French African ex- plorer, has achieved great success among the negroes of the Gaboon region by or- ganizing among them fairs of tbe Euro- [ pean, and especially the Gallic, kind. During the fete of the Fourteenth of July The London Telegraph's Paris cor- respondent says the blackamoors and : their dusky wives or sweethearts danced .to the music of a hurdy-gurdy and pat- ronized eagerly the merry-go-rounds. Shooting galleries were also erected, the I negroes using their spears instead of rifles. Mr. W. H. Ames, son of ex-Governor 1 Ames, of Massachusetts, i i soon to be married to Miss Daisy Hodges. It is said that the ex-governor has always made his son live at North Easton, and work as hard there as one of the factory ! hands. Young Ames has been obliged to turn up at his post by 7 o'clock, even , if he had been at a ball in Boston till : after midnight. On such occasions he has traveled down in a freight train, and arrived in time to change his clothes and I go to work. ! Hearing a tremendous noise in the en- : gine room, an Auburn, Me., engineer rushed below to find the governor belt the engine running wild and tho yroom full of steam. He immediately ap- ! predated the situation and did what few ! men would?groped about till he found | the stop valve and slowed the engine. A Winged Lizard. One of thsasetrantrest of the many strange ereatufls that inhabit the wilds of southern Asia and India is the "flying flowers," a small, brilliant hued lizard of the order bracovolans. On the wing bracovolans resembles a richly tinted in- sect; when at rest it compares favorably with others of the lizard tribe, with the exception that it has an extraordinary protuberance on both sides of the body. These are the wings, which are formed by a cutaneous flap, winglike in shape, supported by a series of false ribs. In color these flying lizards are blue and gray, with intermediate tints of various kinds and shades. The tail is long, slender and very snaky in appearance. A large double pouch extending below the head adds to the ferocious aspect of the little rainbow colored brute. The wings are not true wings, strictly so called, but are used merely as parachutes. When the lizard leaps from the limb of a tree into the air the upper current brings them out, and enables the possessor to soar away at an angle to a greater or lesser distance, ac- cording to the height of the starting point. The lizard can change its direction while in the air, a power not possessed by our "flying squirrels." Hence the casual observer might readily believe that they had the power of moving the winglike appendages, which would, *in that case, be true flight. Soaring is, however, the limit of their power, the height of the starting point regulating the distance traveled in the soaring flight,* which is quite frequently several hundred yards, an aerial exhibition which strikes terror to the heart of a stranger wandering for the first time in the jungles of the antipodean wilds.? St. Louis Republic. Cactus and Camel. The cactuses are very peculiar plants ?as peculiar structurally as they are bizarre and grotesque in outer appear- ance. They have spared no pains and shrunk from no sacrifice in accommodat- ing themselves to their niche in nature. In the first place, they have no true leaves. What look like leaves in certain jointed cactuses are really flattened and extended stems. If this seems at first hearing a hard saying the analogy of the common stonecrops, where stem and leaf are hardly distinguishable, will help to make it a little less incredible. In other ways, too, the stonecrops (or se- dums, as the gardeners call them) throw much light upon the nature of the cac- tuses. All these rock haunting or desert plants naturally get very little water except at long intervals after occasional showers.. Hence onlythose can survive which form themselves, us it were, into living reser- voirs to retain all the moisture they once absorb. As soon as the rain falls in their arid haunts the roots and rootlets eager- ly drink it up in a great hurry and store It away in the soft and spongy cellular tissue of which the main part of the plant is wholly formed. For this pur- pose, both in stonecrops and cactuses, the stems have become fleshy and succu- lent, and being also green and learlike they closely resemble true leaves. But they are covered externally with a thick Bkin, which resists evaporation and keeps the moisture, once collected, at the plant's disposal for an unlimited period. In short, the cactus does as a plant just what a camel does as an animal.?Grant Allen in North American Review. Foolish. Consistency. Emerson tells us that there is no par- ticular virtue in consistency. How stu- pid a man must be, he says in effect, who is not wiser today than yesterday, and who does not accordingly have to change some of his opinions. "A man will never change his mind who has no mind to change," says Arch- bishop Whately, and Faraday expresses the same idea when he charges us to re- member that, "In knowledge that man only is to be despised who is not in a state of transition." There io a medium between what a worthy old gentleman calls "whifflin' about like a weathercock" and remain- ing rigidly in one rut of belief. Most of us know instances of men who cannot bring themselves to say anything which would contradict what they uttered last week or last year. Acertain Irishman onco declared that he had owned a horse which was fifteen feet high. A few days after he referred to the samo animal as being fifteen hands high. "But," said a listener, "you gave it the other day as fifteen feet." "Did I, thin?" said Patrick. "Well, I'll stick to it. He was fifteen feet high." ?Youths Companion. A Remarkable Canal. The mo3t remarkable canal in the world is tie one between Worsley ami | St. Helens, in north England. It is | sixteen miles long and underground from I end to end. In Lancashire the coal mines i are vory extensive, half the country being I undermined. Many years ago the man- j agers of the Duke of ""Bridgewater's es- I tates thought they could save money by j transporting the coal underground in- ! stead of on the surface; therefore the j canal was constructed, and the mines ' connected and drained at the tame time. I Ordinary canal boats are used, the power \u25a0 being furnished by men. The tunnel ! arch over the canal is provided with cross pieces, and the men who do the work of ' propulsion lie on their backs on the loads , of coal, and push with their feet against | the cross bars of the roof.?St. Louis Re- public. . The craze for passing floral tributes over the footlights to stage favorites seems to have reached its height in Bos- ton a few evenings ago. A minstrel per- former received a life size floral image iof himself seated in a chair and playing the banjo. The balloon proposed for polar explora- tion is 99 feet in diameter and 500,000 I cubic feet in volrano. The journey is to !be begun from Spitzbergen, and with a | favorable wind is expected to last four j or five days. In our time the third finger is usually the one on which the engagement ring is placed, also the wedding ring, some belief possibly existing in the old super- stition that a vein ran directly from this part of the left hand to the heart. The daily mileage made in cities of the United States by cars supplied with electric motors is now more than one hundred thousand and is growing nnidlv.

SEVERALPAKISTAN DENS

RARE COMBINATIONS OF LUXURY,COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE.

The Sanctums of Scientists, Critics andLiterary Geniuses of World Wide Rep-utations ?Where the Uright Lights Re-tire to Do Their Chosen Work.

The sanctum of M. Louis Pasteur, forexample, is one of the most simple in thehigh order of trulyphysical comfort. Itis not encumbered with the scientificparaphernalia often met with in thenouses ofmedical men. A large carved

oak table stands by the side of the arm-chair in which the great scientist oftenaits in quiet contemplation of his pastexperience and future hopes. In thathigh stack of green cases at which hecasts un occasional glance stores of vain-able notes are classed in perfect order.They are ready for reference should afresh problem arise in the course of hislabors in bringing about the preventionor cure of that terrible affliction to thestudy ofwhich he has devoted so manyyears of his valuable and successful life.M. Pasteur usually wears a close fittingskull cap when in his sanctum. He isgrand cross of the Legion of Honor, mem-ber of the French academy and perpetualsecretary of the Academy ofScicncea

THE QTJr.»T TOWER BUILDER.

M. Gustave Eiffel, the engineer whosewonderful popularity has grown so rap-idly, is accustomed to ruminate in aquiet looking but very comfortable sort,of library. He is fond of walking aboutwhen in deep calculation, and frequentlymakes a halt in front of his admirablechimney piece, the shelf of which is sur-mounted by a very chaste and beautifulfemale bust. On each side of tbe chim-ney piece is a handsome Venetian mir-ror. Itwas in this sanctum, situated inthe Rue de Prony, that M. Gustave Eiffelsolved the last few serious difficultieswhich at one time threatened the com-pletion of his Champ de Mars triumph;and there it is that he now meditatesover the opposition formed by some ofthe members of the municipal council tohis project for the construction of theMetropolitan railway for Paris. Themain objections to tbe metropolitanscheme are that it would destroy thebeauty of the boulevards and ruin theline of omnibuses running from theMadeleine to the Bastile. It is not atall unlikely that the engineer who tri-umphed so gloriously in the case of histower will achieve another victory withtne railway he proposes to construct.The man of the iron tower is a*officerof the Legion of Honor.

M. Francisqne Sarcey, the well knowntheatrical critic of The Temps, and oneof the brightest of the galaxy of Pari-sian chroniclers, inhabits during his longworking hours a library in which he isalmost surrounded by his books. M.Sarcey is beyond what is usually consid-ered the prime of life, yet he lookswell as, "with spectacles on nose," andwearing a soft and smooth white beard,he poses himself carefully and closelyover his table in front of the copy he iscarefnlly preparing. He is reputed tobe a model of gallantry toward the la-dies; but the case might be reversedwhen it is considered that the lady art-ists whom it is his duty to criticise notinfrequently call at his house to ask afavor or an act of justice for their pro-fessional requirements. There are twoplaces where Sarcey may very often bemet with; one is his library, and theother is his fauteuil d'orchestre, when-over a grand performance or a premiererepresentation is given at any of theprincipal Parisian theatres.

WEAVERS OF ROMANCE.

M. Georges Ohnet, the celebrated ro-mancist and dramatist, still young andhandsome, with his smooth dark haircarefully brushed and parted, usuallysits in pensive attitude in one of thoseInsurious armchairs with which his studyabounds. The sculptured chimney pieceby the side of which he takes his place inwinter is a work of art iv three stories,surmounted by a beautiful clock and alooking glass out of old or young humanreach. The author of the "Maitre deForges" is one of the most amiable ofParisian litterateurs, as all who havevisited him at his charming residence inthe Avenue Trudiane can affirm. M.Georges Ohnet is as young in the Orderof the Legion of Honor as he is in hisage; but with time both may surely beexpected to ripen and advance to a brill-iant maturity.

M. Emile Zola dwells in the artisticquarter Clichy, where, in the Rue Hallo,he possesses a sumptuously furnishedsanctum, provided with sofas, peacockpictures of the greatest beauty, stat-uettes, evergreens and objects of art inevery variety. All these strikingly ap-parent comforts and delights combine toencourage that inclination for the dolcefar niente to which the indefatigablepretender to academical honors does notfor one moment yield. With his limpidhair falling in a loose style on each sideof his head, after the manner of manypopular knights of the palette, he con-tinues to wear the same binocle as whenhe wrote "L'Assommoir" and "LaTerre."In fact Zola, by his free and easy ap-pearance, looks more like an artistepeintre than a literary man. He may beconsidered a painter also, since he writespictures with his pen almost as vividlyas those who paint them with theirbrushes. M. Emile Zola is a chevalierof the Legion of Honor, and the red rib-bon is well placed and well merited asthe reward of his profound thought,bold imagination and vigorous expres-sion that are sometimes severely criti-cised but invariably admired. ?Galig-

iThe Phoenicians are amongst the earli-est nations which are supposed to haveused the saw. The scholar is not sur-prised to find a very pretty story ac-counting for the discovery of the saw ir,

A itfuhnch I'ix.utatlon.

The work of gathering and drying thebuhash blossoms is in full blast at thebuhach plantation. About one hundredmen are scattered through the fieldspicking the blossoms. As fast as theyare picked they are stowed away abouttwo inches deep in wooden boxes, the.boxes being 2_ feet square. Wagons are

employed in hauling the boxes to thedrying house. Probably it is called adrying honse because it is alongside ofthe spot where the drying is done. Cer-jtainly no artificial heat is needed at thebuhach plantation to dry anythingat thistime of the year.

The sun's rays come down within theinclosure of big poplar trees with a forcethat makes it pleasant to stand from

| under. The trays are allowed to lieIthere, the blossoms being stirred up by:a force of men until they (the blossoms)

:are fairly cured. Afterward they areplaced on a large platform about sixtyfeet square, where they remain until

;dry, and then are sent to the reductioniworks, where they are ground into dust.!This is done by men who are proof;against sneezing, otherwise itcould notbe done at all. Whether or not itmakes.flies and mosquitoes sneeze we don't

\ know, but it is certainly the best pre-;ventive in use to keep those insects at a

distance.?Merced (Cal.) Star.

A l iving Skeleton.A livingskeleton, who rivals some of

! those who figure in the museums, wasfound by the police in a garret in Alle-

-1 gheny. He is six feet high and weighsbut forty-five pounds. He can't accountfor his loss of flesh. He declares he feelsall right, though very weak, and has hadno serious illness. He is a foreigner andunable to speak English. About twoyears ago, he says, he first noticed that

;he was getting thin, but as he felt wellhe paid no attention to it. He continued,however, to lose flesh, and the pastspring, finding himself nothingbut "skinand bone," he went to the country, but

; neither the change nor doctors did himany good, and about a week ago he re-turned to Allegheny. Being without

jrelatives, he went to the garret to awaitdeath, but neighbors hearing of the case

1directed the attention of the police to it.and the man was removed to the stationhouse and subsequently to the city

!home.?Philadelphia Ledger.

A New Kind of Cotton.

I A new variety of cotton plant, pre-;ducing a much larger proportion of cot-ton to seed than any other known kind,

iand having the additional advantage ofbeing earlier and less susceptible to at-mospheric influences, sounds like goodnews for the Lancashire mills. Thenewcomer is known as the mitafife. It

| was discovered a few seasons ago atBenha, in Egypt, though it has onlylately been planted on anything like alarge scale. Mitafifeisadmitted to haveits faults. It is shorter in the stapleand not quite so good in quality as theashmouni plant, but for all that it ap-pears to be driving the ashmouni plantout of the field. Vice Consul Alban re-ports that last year's experience was soencouraging that in some provinces oflower Egypt it has this year been almostexclusively sown.?London News.

A Mermaid in the Orkneys.An interesting spectacle has recently

beeYi seen in the Orkneys. It is proba-bly the first of its kind ever authenti-cated in living memory. Acorrespond-ent writes: "What is said to be amermaid has been seen for some weeksat stated times at Southside, Deerness.Itis about six to seven feet in length,with a little black bead, white neck andsnow white body and two arms. Inswimming it appears just like a humanbeing. At times it will come very closeinshore and appear to be sitting on asunken rock, and will wave and workits hands. It has never been seen en-tirely out of water. Many persons whodoubted its genuineness now suppose itto be a deformed seal."?Table.

Swung a Scythe for Eighty Years.Horace Skinner, who is nearly 90 years

old, mowed two tons of hay recentlywith a scythe. He afterward spent aweek at Hyannis, and is now feelingfresh and vigorous. Mr. Skinner hasmowed more or less every season forover eighty years.?Mansfield (Mass.)News.

The Big Sunflower of Brockton.Isaac P. Osborne, ofBrockton Heights,

has a sunflower ten feet fiveinches high,which has thirty-five blossoms on it. Hesays he thinks this takes the cake forsunflowers. ? Brockton (Mass.) Enter-prise.

A pair ofbelligerent bulls engaged ina fierce battle on the track of the Astoriaand South Coast railroad the other day,and for nearly half an hour the trainmenwere unable to drive them away in orderto get the train through. Huge clubswere worn out over the heads and backsof the animals, but without avail, untilat last they grew weary and sullenlyscrambled away.

Death has an odd way of picking outits victims. Atraveler went quietly tobed in a Pennsylvania town recently,and before morning a locomotive off thetrack ran into the house and killed himas he slept. "Railroad" hotels are usu-ally uucomfortable enough at the best,but itrhas been supposed that they weresafer sleeping places than the track.

M. do Brazza, the French African ex-plorer, has achieved great success amongthe negroes of the Gaboon region by or-ganizing among them fairs of tbe Euro-

[ pean, and especially the Gallic, kind.During the fete of the Fourteenth ofJuly The London Telegraph's Paris cor-respondent says the blackamoors and

: their dusky wives or sweethearts danced.to the music of a hurdy-gurdy and pat-ronized eagerly the merry-go-rounds.Shooting galleries were also erected, the

I negroes using their spears instead ofrifles.

Mr. W. H. Ames, son of ex-Governor1 Ames, of Massachusetts, ii soon to bemarried to Miss Daisy Hodges. It issaid that the ex-governor has alwaysmade his son live at North Easton, andwork as hard there as one of the factory

! hands. Young Ames has been obligedto turn up at his post by 7 o'clock, even, if he had been at a ball in Boston till

: after midnight. On such occasions hehas traveled down in a freight train, andarrived in time to change his clothes and

I go to work.! Hearing a tremendous noise in the en-: gine room, an Auburn, Me., engineerrushed below to find the governor belt

the engine running wild and thoyroom full of steam. He immediately ap-! predated the situation and did what few! men would?groped about tillhe found| the stop valve and slowed the engine.

A Winged Lizard.

One of thsasetrantrest of the manystrange ereatufls that inhabit the wildsof southern Asia and India is the "flyingflowers," a small, brilliant hued lizardofthe order bracovolans. On the wingbracovolans resembles a richly tinted in-sect; when at rest it compares favorablywith others of the lizard tribe, with theexception that it has an extraordinaryprotuberance on both sides of the body.These are the wings, which are formedby a cutaneous flap, winglike in shape,supported by a series of false ribs. Incolor these flying lizards are blue andgray, with intermediate tints of variouskinds and shades.

The tail is long, slender and verysnaky in appearance. A large doublepouch extending below the head adds tothe ferocious aspect of the little rainbowcolored brute. The wings are not truewings, strictly so called, but are usedmerely as parachutes. When the lizardleaps from the limb of a tree into the airthe upper current brings them out, andenables the possessor to soar away at anangle to a greater or lesser distance, ac-cording to the height of the startingpoint.

The lizard can change its directionwhile in the air, a power not possessedby our "flying squirrels." Hence thecasual observer might readily believethat they had the power of moving thewinglike appendages, which would, *inthat case, be true flight. Soaring is,however, the limit of their power, theheight of the starting point regulatingthe distance traveled in the soaringflight,*which is quite frequently severalhundred yards, an aerial exhibitionwhich strikes terror to the heart of astranger wandering for the first time inthe jungles of the antipodean wilds.?St. Louis Republic.

Cactus and Camel.The cactuses are very peculiar plants

?as peculiar structurally as they arebizarre and grotesque in outer appear-ance. They have spared no pains andshrunk from no sacrifice in accommodat-ing themselves to their niche in nature.In the first place, they have no trueleaves. What look like leaves in certainjointed cactuses are really flattened andextended stems. If this seems at firsthearing a hard saying the analogy ofthe common stonecrops, where stem andleaf are hardly distinguishable, willhelpto make it a little less incredible. Inother ways, too, the stonecrops (or se-dums, as the gardeners call them) throwmuch light upon the nature of the cac-tuses.

Allthese rock haunting or desert plantsnaturally get very little water except atlong intervals after occasional showers..Hence onlythose can survive which formthemselves, us it were, into livingreser-voirs to retain all the moisture they onceabsorb. As soon as the rain falls in theirarid haunts the roots and rootlets eager-ly drink it up in a great hurry and storeIt away in the soft and spongy cellulartissue of which the main part of theplant is whollyformed. For this pur-pose, both in stonecrops and cactuses,the stems have become fleshy and succu-lent, and being also green and learlikethey closely resemble true leaves. Butthey are covered externally with a thickBkin, which resists evaporation and keepsthe moisture, once collected, at theplant's disposal for an unlimited period.In short, the cactus does as a plant justwhat a camel does as an animal.?GrantAllen in North American Review.

Foolish. Consistency.

Emerson tells us that there is no par-ticular virtue in consistency. How stu-pid a man must be, he says in effect,who is not wiser today than yesterday,and who does not accordingly have tochange some of his opinions.

"A man will never change his mindwho has no mind to change," says Arch-bishop Whately, and Faraday expressesthe same idea when he charges us to re-member that, "Inknowledge that manonly is to be despised whois not in astateof transition."

There io a medium between what aworthy old gentleman calls "whifflin'about like a weathercock" and remain-ing rigidly in one rut ofbelief. Most ofus know instances of men who cannotbring themselves to say anything whichwould contradict what they uttered lastweek or last year.

Acertain Irishman onco declared thathe had owned a horse which was fifteenfeet high. A few days after he referredto the samo animal as being fifteen handshigh.

"But," said a listener, "you gave ittheother day as fifteen feet."

"Did I, thin?" said Patrick. "Well,I'llstick to it. He was fifteen feet high."?Youths Companion.

A Remarkable Canal.The mo3t remarkable canal in the

world is tie one between Worsley ami| St. Helens, in north England. It is| sixteen miles long and underground fromIend to end. In Lancashire the coal minesiare vory extensive, half the country beingIundermined. Many years ago the man-jagers of the Duke of ""Bridgewater's es-Itates thought they could save money byj transporting the coal underground in-! stead of on the surface; therefore thejcanal was constructed, and the mines

' connected and drained at the tame time.I Ordinary canal boats are used, the power

\u25a0 being furnished by men. The tunnel! arch over the canal is provided with cross

pieces, and the men who do the work of

' propulsion lie on their backs on the loads, of coal, and push with their feet against| the cross bars of the roof.?St. Louis Re-

public. .The craze for passing floral tributes

over the footlights to stage favoritesseems to have reached its height in Bos-ton a few evenings ago. A minstrel per-former received a life size floral image

iof himself seated in a chair and playingthe banjo.

Inour time the third finger is usuallythe one on which the engagement ringis placed, also the wedding ring, somebelief possibly existing in the old super-stition that a vein ran directly from thispart ofthe left hand to the heart.
