3H'ER VANITY PUNl-SHED.
A Little, s1: YeaT-Old nip That She Had
Reaped 3 Just award.
A dear little maiden of six, the
daughter of a South Jersey clergyman,
came to New York for the first time
the'other day to visit a wealthy aunt.
In her simple home life in the country
no onehad eyer paid much attention
to the beauty of her coloring and the
pathos in her eyes. She was simply a
child, to be spanked when she was
naughty and let alone when she was
_ good.
When she arrived in the metropolis,
dressed like a quiet little sparrow, her
aunt fathomed the sensation that she
would create if put in an artistic set-
ting. So she hied her to a. swell es-
tablishment where everything that is
dainty and chic in children‘s clothes
can be had for a price. The child
was soon transformed into an infant
belle. Four or five artistic creations
were tried on and purchased, and final-
ly she issued from the store radiant
in a fluffy white gown and a big pink
picture hat. Her delight in her new
clothes was simple and unaffected and
no thought of how they might affect
other people disturbed her. Her beau-
ty was fairly dazzling.
As the aunt led her into a trolley
car and they took their seats every
eye was on the child. Smiles greeted
her wherever she looked and finally
it was forcd upon her that; she was
the observed of all observers. ~The
roses in her cheeks deepened. She
twitched and turned, unable, in her
sweet innocence, to endure the'admir—
ing glances showered upon her.‘ In a
little while her eyes filled with tears,
and sobbingly, she buried her face in
her aunt’s lap and tore the picture but
from her head.
“Oh, auntie,” she said, “take it
away. I. look like such a. fright in it;
everybody is staring at me. It’s God’s
punishment for being so va1n”—\ew

THE TODDY TREE.
Nature Hus Her Bum Shops and Drunk-
ards Among Insects.
Nature has her rum shops, her 1121-
loons. She produces plants which de-
vote themselves to the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants. The South
American tod'dy tree is 'well known
to naturalists. It is well-known also
to the South American beetle. When
the latter goes on a spree he never
goes it alone. after the unneighborly
habit of the human drunkard. but he
collects his friends and acquaintances
to the number 0f thirty or forty; the
whole crowd run their short horns
through the bark of‘ the toddy tree,
revel in the outflowing juices and.
while inebriated, are easily caught by
the human natives.
The toddy tree parts with its liquor
free of charge. There are other plants
which are. less: generous._ They exact
no less a-penalty than the death of
the unfortunate drunkard. And what
do theywdortwlth the body? Strange
as itrmay-seem. they emit. In this
manner they obtain the food which
nourishes them and sustains their.
healthful existence.
At the end of each of their long
green leaves these plants Have a pitch-
er-shaped reCeptacle. We might style
this the growler, but it never needs
to be brushed. It is always full of what
with special appropriateness might be
called bug juice—a watery liquor,
sweet to the taste and inebriating to
the senses. Only in fine weather is
the growler open for business. On
rainy days‘it is firmly shut up to keep
out the rain that would dilute and
spoil the contents. Nature’s saloon
keepers do not water their stock.—
William S. Walsh in Lippincotts. '
Making Manila Hemp.
Every engineer knows what Manila
hemp is, but few are aware that it is
the product of a species of banana,
which is cultivated in certain locali-
ties «in the Philippine Islands. The
plant. called by the natves “abacu,”
throws up a cluster of sheathing leaf
stalks to a height of 20 or 30 feet,
which spread out at the top into a
crown of huge, undivided leaves. When
it is three years old, it is cut down,
and the stalks are torn into strips.
These strips, while still fresh, are
drawn between a knife and a. wooden
block, and the soft cellulose matter is
removed. The fiber is then hung up
to dry in the open air until it is fit for
use. Each stalk gives about a pound
of fiber, and two natives will turn
out about 25 pounds a day. The in-
side fiber, which is thin and weak, is
used by the natives for making arti.
cles of dress. The familiar Manila
rope is made from the fiber of the out-h
er layer, which is hard and strong.
The whole supply of Manila hemp'
practically comes from the Philip-3
pines, and the United States con-
sumes 41 per cent of it. Last year
thiscountry took 417,473 bales out of
the 825,020 bales exported, Great Brit-
ain coming next with 385,182 bales.
The continent of Europe took 22 313
bales.

BABY,,WASPS' WONDERFUL MEALJ
Spiders ,\Paralyzed by the Sting, Living
[ortMonthsIn 'Ihat Condition. 1
The 'wasp is not 'a vegetarian like the
bee, and our cement maker has before
her the problem of supplying her young
with meat rather than with bread. As-
her eggs are laid out in hot weather,
and as enough food must be stored in
the cell with theegg to mature the
young insect, the question, is how to
preserve the meat fresh for so long a.
time. She meets the difficulty thus.
After a. tube is finished except one end,
which is left open, she files off on a
hunt for spiders. She finds a fat,
healthy one, pounces upon It, stings it.
and carries it off and places it in the
mud cell. She repeats this process un-
til she has placed as many 'spiders in
the tube as, according to her’judgment,
will be needed. She then lays an egg
in the cell and walls up the opening.
The remarkable thing about this per-
formance is the magic effect of her
sting. Whether it is the result of a/
subtle po’iso'n, or whether it is the
special spot in 'the spider's nervous
spstem where the sting is' inserted we
do not know. Certain it is that after
being thus stung, the spider lives on in
a. paralyzed condition for weeks and
even months. It can. move only slight-
ly, and remains helpless in its mud
sepulchre until the wasp egg hatches
into a voracious grub, which at once
falls to and eats with great relish the
meat thus miraculously. preserved.
Whether the wasp sting' renders the
spider inSensible to pain or not is a.
question not yet settled. However,
the chances are in favor of the theory
that it does. Anyway, we need waste
no sympathy on the spider, the most
bloodthirsty of all the little people of_
the fields'and woods. There is a. sense
of retributive Justice in the thought of
a spider helpless and at themercy of a.
small insect which it would have mere
cilessly devoured had it been able.
So we need not accuse our alert, in-
dustrious cement maker. of any unrea-
sonable cruelty. if-she. like us, insists
upon a. ‘meat diet for her young, nor
need we have any fear of her sting, for
she seldom uses it asa'we‘ap‘on of of-
i'ense or defense.—-Giautauquan.

HIS SECRET OF PERPETUAL YOUTH
Wu Always the Liver and Not the Com-
mouplaoe Husband.
One of our middle-aged citizens who
surrenders himselfentirely to business
and looks older than his years, had
been curious to learn how one of his
neighbors, twenty years his senior,
managed to retain his youthfulness of
spirits and activity. The old‘ gentle-.
man has a florid face that seems to
belie the crown of snow-white hair.
His eyes are sparkling, his step is elas-
tic, his form erect and his laugh con-
tagious. When asked for the desired
explanation he blushed like a school-
boy and occasionally stammered in his
explanation: '
"Of course," 3h\e laughed, "I’m regu-
lar in my habits, get out of doors a
good deal, and try :to take things just
as philosophically as I can. That is,
I won’t permit myself to worry. But
I wouldn't be telling you the whole
truth if I withheld what I regard as
the chief secret 07f my being- so well
preserved. I have courted my wife
ever since I married her, and that was
more than forty years ago. I- pay her
all the little attentions that I ever did
when I was trying to win her, and
which a woman never ceases to hold
dear. I invite her to ride, ask her to
go to the theatre or whether she would
enjoy accompanying me to some.social
entertainment, and take her out into
the country and rave over its beauties, ,
just as we have always done.
“In that way, don’t you see, we fall
to note the passage of time, She is the
same happy girl and I the same at-
tentive lover.

Mr. Joseph Ladue’, the pioneer of the Klondike, and feunder of

ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading' 1n the Yukon gold fields.
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “Marguerite” Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the ,3.
Klondike, and large homo-gas of Choice Town Lots in Dav/son City. " ‘
The Company also owns _th “ Morgan City" now earning $20, 000 per
month, and has shipped 1319- the Yukon several hundred tons of meréhandise,
for trade, upon which a v‘ery large profit is assured. The U. S. Government
