WHEN LOVE WAS YOUNG.

Whr'l Love was young, it asked for wings,
That it might still be roaming;
And away it sped, by fancy led.
Through dawn, and noon, and gleaming.
Each daintlness that blooms and blows
It wooed in honeyed meter,
And when it- won the sweetest sweet
It flew off to a sweeter,
When Love was young.

When Love was old, it craved for rest,
For home, and hearth. and haven;

For quiet talks round sheltered walks,
And long- lawns smoothly shaven.

And when Love senght, at last it found
A roof, a porch, a garden,

And from a fond, unquestioning heart
Peace, sympathy and pardon,

When Love was old.
—-Anstin Dobson.

And She Smiled.

A woman who looked to weigh 400 pounds,
[but probably fell a little short of that
figure, was descending from a Bleecker street
car, when a man, who looked to weigh about
seventy pounds, but might pull'down a hun-
dred, sought to ascend. They met. They
lbumped. They gazed at each other i n a cold
,way. Neither would retreat for the moment.
Then the man’s natural gallantry was called
inquestion, and he said:

“Ah! 1 am in your way.”

“I am in yours, rather,” she replied.

“Oh, not at all. If I wasn’t so fat I could
move quicker. I often envy you people who
move about so lively.”

And she looked into his face, saw that he
was serious, and her efforts to strike a girl’s
gait as she moved to the curb provoked a
platform passenger into saying:

“That didn’t cost him a cent and did her a
thousand dollars’ worth of good. ”——New York
Sun.

Washington’s Father’s Grave.

Augustine IVashington, the father of Gen.
George IVashington, died April 12, 1743, in
Stafford county, and his body was brought
down and deposited in the vault at Wake-
field, near Bride‘s creek, in Westmoreland
county, where his first wife (Jane Butler) had
been buried in November, 1728. The site of
this vault and burial ground is correctly lo-
cated on a chart made from a survey of
“VVashington’s birthplace,” by A. Linden-
kohl, in September, 1879, copies of which
chart can be obtained from the office of the
United States Coast and Geodetic survey in
Washington. The spot is occasionally visited
by tourists, and was seen by Bishop Meade in
1857, who describes its neglected condition as
“disgusting.”

The condition has not been improved since.
—Cincinnati Times-Star.

Money Lending at 720 Per Cent.

A case of money lending at 720 per cent.
came out in the lord mayor’s court in London
a short time since. The defendant in the
case, named Bryant, said he was cashier at a
salary of £2 per week. He had been a. clerk
in the London and \Vestminster bank, but in
consequence of difficulties with money lenders
he had been discharged. His fellow clerks
then subscribed and put his wife and two
daughters into business. On this particular
debt he borrowed £ 2 and gave a bill for £15.
He had paid interest at the rate of 120 per
cent. for six years, or 720 percent on the origi-
nal loan, and was now summoned for the
amount of the loan. The judge made an or—
der for eight shillings per month—Chicago
Herald. '

A Remarkably Fatal Poison.

A poison has been discovered which is said
to have one hundred times the power of
strychnine. The effect of an inappreciably
small particle pricked into the cuticle is to
almost instantly coagulate the blood of the
whole system, and the victim is as dead as
though he had touched a “dead” wire. As
soon as druggists make the new poison acces-
sible to the public the man who goes about
with a stomach pump pumping out would be
suicides will be left without an occupation.
The possibilities of the drug in connection
with smokeless powder and dynamite shells
in destroying life by wholesale remain to
be tested—New York Telegram.

A Poet’s Good Digestion.

I like the Japanese food very much. I can
eat everything—raw fish, fish and sweets to-
gether—evcrything. I like sake. I can drink
any quantity of it; it never makes my head
ache. I am not sure if I have any digestion;
I have llchl‘ had any evidence of it. I at-
tribute part of my success in life to this, like
my friend Gladstone. I observe one precau-
tion which Gladstone tells me he always does
——to eat very slowly and talk a good deal be-
tween. Gladstone thinks good eating the
mother of good digestion. I-Ie bites every-
thing twenty-fivc times before he swallows
it.—Sir Edwin Arnold’s Letter from Tokio.

From the North Pole.

The North Pole may at length be reached,
and all on account of a pair of trousers—oil-
skin ones—which were on board the ill fated
Jeannette. The garment is said to have been
found on the coast of Greenland, showing
that on their journey from the Pacific to the
Atlantic the breeches must have passed the
pole, carried that way by a current. Dr.
Nansen, who discovered that act, thinks that
it is possible to make the sonic route—New
York Sun.

 

Buddhist Ilumauencss.

A clergyman declared that no people are so
humane in their treatment of the lower ani-
mals as the Americans. But what about the
Buddhists, who, in order to avoid destroying
life, carry a broom with which to sweep
away insects, when they, the Buddhists, of
course, desire to sit on the ground, and who
wear a sieve over their mouth when drinking
water lest they might swallow and so destroy
some living creature—New York Tribune.

One of the Old School.

A good story is told in Melbourne auent
the late Dr. Bromby, the head master of the
local grammar school. As he was flogging a
recalcitrant boy, the lad fell against a fender.
The doctor picked the youngster up and said,
most compassionate] y, “Are you hurt, my
poor boy?”

“No, sir,” replied the boy.

The doctor then went on flogging him.—

Compressed Coal Dust.

One—seventh of the coal mined is lost from
being broken up too finely to be burned with
profit. A prominent railroad company is
now mixing the dust with pitch and com-
pressing it into blocks that burn like hard
coal, with the advantage that they are er.-
tirely consumed to ashes and leave no clink-
ers.—New York Commercial Advortiser.

Had .More Light.
Mr. Grane—Say, Eltrida, you’ve got t’
break off with that Lord VVishwater.

19-day that I won’t be anymore of a duke

"RARE, CURIOUS " PLANTS.

FIFTY THOUSAND SPECIMENS IN A
PHILADELPHIA HERBARIUM.

Flowers, Seeds and Vegetable Curiosities
Secured Through Risk of Life—A Re-

markable Collection of Nature’s Won-
.

tiers—Plants from Everywhere.

The biological school of the University of
Pennsylvania can boast of a herbarium of
50,000 botanical specimens. These are large-
ly plants gathered in Philadelphia from all
over the world and dried and preserved.
There is included an almost complete col-
lection of North American fauna; another,
nearly as full, of the flowers of the Sand—
wich Islands; a number of specimens from
Russia, Southern Europe, the Cape of Good
Hope, Australia, the West Indies and the
northern part of South America; an almost
perfect representation of the mosses of
eastern United States and of the ferns of
North America, and a very good working
exhibit of American lichens. Many of the
plants were secured at the risk of life.
Some were plucked from dizzy heights by
the adventurous collectors, and others call
to mind interesting facts of another kind.

' The group of clematis, or virgin’s bower,
is represented by specimens from all over
the west, Florida, Mexico and Australia.
One western variety, with long, fuzzy white
bunches of blossom, tradition says, has
been used by Indians to revive their horses
when drooping. The specimens of coptis,
or golden thread, a small and delicate look—
ing plant, show that it grows all over the
northern part of this hemisphere, in Penn-
sylvania, Labrador and Sitka, Alaska. The
native country of the monk’s hood is
equally eittended. In 1874 the seeds of the
long spurred, yellow aquilegia were selling
at a fabulous price, owing to their scarcity.
Prior to that time the plant was scarcely
ever seen in larger quantities than bunches
a foot square. Dr. Rothrock, professor of
botany at the university, went west that
year, and at Willow Spring, Arizona, he
came upon twenty acres of these beautiful
flowers, with spurs four or five inches long.

A specimen of the berberis, or mountain
grape, is particularly interesting, because
in the northern part of the western coun-
try, where doctors are not to be found, it is
used by the natives as a drug. It has alter-
native properties, is an efficient tonic, and
by mixing with sugar and fermenting its
small blue berry can be made into a whole—
some wine. There are dried tufts of draba
or Whitlow grass from half a dozen places
all over the world—Oregon, the Alps, Sibe-
ria, the island of Grand Manan, in the Bay
of Fundy, and British Columbia. One be—
longs to a variety which Dr. Rothrock
thinks has but half a dozen representatives
in all the herbaria in the world. It was
procured by Bischoif, accompanying the
\Vestern Union extension in Sitka, Alaska,
in 1865.

A Colorado plant of the same family was
found on a spot 9,000 feet above the sea. It
is curious to notice in this variety the draba
Alpina, that, owing to the coldness of its
native place, the foliage is all dwarfed and
knotted, while the process of producing
flower and fruit is as luxuriant as that of
specimens found in milder climates. An—
other draba brought from Wyoming by
the northwest \Vyoming expedition in 1873
is still more (I\ 'nrfed. Six specimens of the
cochlearia oblong’ifolia, or scurvy grass, are
particularly interesting on account of a
story that is told of the plant. It is princi-
pally found in the northern regions, quite
belting the vicinity of the north pole, and
appearing as it does very early in the year,
in times gone by it was the saviour of
scores of crews dying from scurvy, being
eaten with perfect impunity. The universi-
ty’s specimens come from Norton sound and
Sitkzl, Alaska, and Plover bay, Eastern Si-
beria. The Claytonia sibirica illustrates
how wonderfully plants adapt themselves
to conditions of climate. One of these in
the herbarium from California has leaves
and stem four times as large as those of
another from Siberia, while the flowers and
fruit of both are of equal size.

A dried plant named after Gen. Fremont,
brought from California, is called the slip-
pery elm, though it is not related to the

 

 

l

family of the eastern slippery elm, but is -
much more nearly related to the belly i

hock. There is no more interesting object
in the collection than a twig broken from
a. variety of the 'zlzlotin. which was found
in the Gila valley of Arizona. This isa
leafless tree, which winter and summer
alike stands extending into the air long,
bare, skeleton like branches. The flowers
grow out directly from the wood. Previ-
ous to 1874 there had been only a rumor of
the existence of this tree. During that
year Dr. Rothrock, while in Arizona, saw
several of them, but simply thought them
dead until chance led him to approach one
and he secured a specimen, which is almost
priceless in value to him.

A number of dried dahlias, some of them
also from the Gila river, illustrate, too, the
tendency of plants under certain circum-
stances to lose all large leaves and also to
acquire numerous oil glands along the
stems, which appear under _ the microscope
like knots of red and yellow gum. The
varieties of suniach represented in the
herbarium number among them one from

Center county, 1321., which is so poisonous

that susceptible people dare not approach
within thirty feet of it, and another quite
common in this neighborhood, with berries
covered by scarlet hairs. which is not dan—
gerous.

A dried tuft of chamaebalia from Cali-
fornia, although it has been preserved for
fifteen years, after having been soaked in
alcohol and corrosive sublimate still re—
tains something of the strong resinous odor
for which it is famous. A specimen of ivesia
Gordoni, nearly allied to the common live-
iinger, was secured in Colorado at an ele-
vation of 13,000 feet after a hard day’s
climb, Dr. lothrock, the collector, being
laden with a cistern thermometer, rifle and
tin botanical box. There are also speci-
mens of the horkelia, potentilla and a third
plant, which were not known until Dr.
I-tothrock came upon them, all within a
space of thirty square feet, in the moun-
tains of California. The presence of a num-
ber of plants of the scdum rhodiola or
house leek variety points a reminiscence of
the ice period in North America.

These specimens in the herbarium come a
respectively from the high mountains of '

Germany, Labrador, the island of Grand
Malian, in the Bay of Fundy; Colorado,
Eastern Siberia and t.‘.:e Roan mountains
The plant only grows
in very cold altitudes. The theory is that
long ago the ice, moving southward along
this continent from the neighborhood of
the North Pole, by cooling the surface of
the ground in British America and in the
northern part of what is now the United
States, made a path for this Arctic plant to
migrate southward. The ice melted and
the surface of the earth grew warm again.
The plant had already reached the moun-
tains of South Carolina, and on the coldest
peaks of these it still survives. It has al-
most entirely disappeared, however, from
the line of southern advance—Philadel-
phia Times.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever.
. 'A New Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that

these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membranes of the nose and
eustachinn tubes. Microscopic research
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are permanently cured in from one to
three simple applications made at home
by the patient once in two weeks.

N. B.—'I‘lns treatment is not a snufi or
an ointment; both have been discarded
by reputable physicians as injurious. A
pamphlet explaining this new treatment is
sent on receipt of three cents in stamps to
pay postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, 337
and 339 West King street, Toronto, Can-
adm—Oin'islz'an Advocate.

Sufferers from Caturrhal troubles should

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it. was granted for wounds or injuries the
disabilityinereases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first. rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a special
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you wil
present me with a. brief statement of your case,
stating by whom it was presented, I will obtaina
rehearing or your case, and, if it has merit. will
procure a. favorable settlement. ’ Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only reqmres a competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers safermg with disabilities
contracted in service, who have not applied for a
pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT.

SOLDIERS OF THE MEXICAN WAR,

Who were in that service sixty days, [or their
wldows if not rel-married] are entitled to $3.00 -per
