* ? Lavender as a Weed. A promising industry has been started in Scrath Australia in a somewhat !curious way. The Central Agricultural ,'Bureau of South Australia was recently notified that a weed of very pronounced odor and aggressive growth had taken possession of about three acres of soil in the southern portion of the colony. The settlers in the neighborhood of the swamo where the plant had established ? itself -were inclined to look with distinct disfavor npon the "weed," which the horses and cattle wonld not eat, and which spread bo rapidly. It was presently found, however, that the weed was no other than the lavender plant, which though of no use as a fodder, I was otherwise a most profitable crop, as two or three tons of green stuff taken from it will yield when distilled by a very simple process $500 worth of lavender oil. In addition it would give 1600 pounds of lavender water worth sixteen cents per pound, after the first distillation, and thirty-six cents per pound after further distillation. The settler who was shrewd enough to make inquiries before rooting up his uni known crop has decided on the advice of the Agricultural Bureau, not only to carefully cultivate what lavender he has, but to plant several acres more. The soil, of a light, sandy nature with clay beneath and fairly moist, is eminently siiited to the growth, not only of lavender, but of all scent-producing plants, and many of the colonists are proposing to devote part of their land to such cultivation.?Courier-Journal A Piece of the Moon. A curious and very fine specimen of meteoric iron has recently been found in Rockingham County, South Carolina, and sent to the State Museum at Columbia. It is about twelve inches long and two inches through at the thickest part, flat in its general shape, and slightly concave on one side, and convex on the other, as though it had been broken off the outer surface of a much larger and rounded mass. It is entirely covered with a thick coat of rust, and weighs 25 3-4 pounds.

They were not V) beauties yet not one of ?8' t:S i I thpm lnnlcpd charm. The J\ attractiveness in each case ^ was of a different nature. Theywere all young and about tbe same age, yet [ I v only in the case of one I ' was the charm largely that of youth. The first was. perhaps, the "commonplace" one of the lot, but she had such a bright, wholesome face. The head was wide at the temples and just beiow; the cheek bones a little high, and so the cheek outline was marred somewhat; the nose, a JfltcJv") ''I V & '! ' V '%#/> sturdy little feature with a humorous tendency about the tip of it: a determined chin | and a mouth that needed softening a little? j kisses would do it, but make sure never a one but the rieht one would ever get a chance to do the softening. The ctMoring was raddy and wholesome and the hair full of glints.She had a round, pretty figure that might be made more of than that firm mouth and those level eyes of hers permitted. She looked a sweet, lovable girl, net beautiful,but who stopped to think of that! The next girl would nave .struck you as young before any other impression was made. Her face was not beautiful, either, so far as regularity of feature went, but she had such rare coloring. The skin was a pale pink, the hair like a childs, yellow without gloss, and the eyes, set very far apart, were violet under black lashes. Both forehead and cbin set back a little from the fullest curve of the pro*ile. A dreamy, loving intellectual face, the sort of face that makes one remember that the lovliest woman is not and never will be to many of na. the woman with "intellect." The aver age blonde is likely to have a sharpness of contour and wide eyes. In other words the face, though beautiful, is often a little cold, and a little shrewish?a face that easily suggests temper and discontent and primness. But it is not so with this tvpe.

The form is likelv to be slender, never angular, and the curve of the back is always lovely. The hands are delicate. The taste is so l'ifcely to select soft materials and delicate colors that such a girl seldom fails, al! unconsciously, to be quite in harmony with herself, from the sott knot of her hair to the soft folds about her feet, and the pale beauty of the colors she selects. The other girl will be prettier far in her thirties than she is now. The one takes more coances in me tnan does tne otner. What possibilities does modern life present such a face. Observe what narrow eyes and straight delicate brows, the short neck and well rounded figure; a strange mixture of feeling and intellect. The lower jaw is well in advance of the upper, the lips are full and red. It is not a modern face by any means. The pale hair and gray eyes belong to each other. A picture never does such a a face justice. One is likely to say "ugly" to the picture; it never occurs to one to say so of the original. Women with faces like this used to realize their powers. In modern society they may live and die and know only tbat they are bored a good deal, One always expects the nose to be the least bit the delicate Roman type. Perhaps it is the distinctly modern line of that feature that reconciles th^face to its surroundings. Such a woman js speculaintrnnneetive and ernel.too. if it occurs to her to be. Not cruel "to hurt," but to see how the victim will act A cold, bitter cruelty to encounter, yet one that means less harm than it may accomplish. Such a woman is round-limbed and lithe, except the short neck, that somehow goes with her bull dog chin and lower lip, and adds to that part of the strange fascination of her face. She dresses conventially always. The modern dress does not rouse her imigination. She could never realize her possibilities of beauty in it, so it is as well. She needs the vivid gowning of old times, and barbarous brilliancy of jewels, and rich drapery. It is a wonder she does not realize this! But maybe that is accounted for bv her pale hair. She is a women now at 22 far more than either of the others are, or, for that matter, ever will be. The years may bring her greater beauty; thev will surely add interest to her face. 8ne, of them all. has a future, and seems also tc have had a past. Her chances for happiness are few. She is likely to make nristakes in tier choice of companion. Intellect and inclination, too, must be satisfied. Mere affection will not suffice. She will demand much and give little. Unlike the blond just looked at, who will give all and ash only that sbe may give. Unlike the first girl, who will want little but practical com panionsbip and who will give just whole some affection and good natured comrade ship.

[ Charles Stowe, of Girard,Penn.,adds 5 this veracious narrative to the recorded l instances of almost human intelligence 9 in animals: j "I've read a good deal," said Mr. i Stowe, ' 'about the intelligence of ele1 phants, but there is a circus elephant t out in Geneva, Ohio, that is thesmarti est and most intelligent elephant on a earth. "Once in a while a cyclone sweeps , over the Buckeye State and levels i buildings to the ground. This ele1 phant, whose name is Snoozer, knows as much about meteorological condi? tionB as the entire force of the weather - bureau combined. Not long ago, aa ? Snoozer cast his weather eye out of the f window, he saw a cyclone to the south s east headed dead on me menagerio f building. "Slipping nis cnam and grasping an ax in his trunk he wen t out to the 3 windward of the building and drove a s guy gtake deep in the ground. The - cyclone was then but a mile off and was rapidly nearing the building. Rushing inside, Snoozer unfastened t the cage containing the giant python, and seizing the big snake in his trunk f trotted outside and tied his tail to the f guy stake. Then rearing himself on , | his hind legs he fastened the python's e | head around the center chimney of the i. building. The cyclone was now but a e quarter of a mile away. ' ,f "Dashing around to the leeward of >- the building the intelligent pachyderm a braced his powerful legs in the ground and put his head against the side of the a building. The cyclone was now but 3 one hundred yards off. The next in3 stant it struck the menagerie with p terrific force. The superior intelli, gence of the elephant was here most i, evident. If he had taken a chain and s fastened it to the windward side of the s building it would have been snapped t like a thread, but the python was 3 elastic and he stretched just enough to 3 hold the building in place, together J with the elephant's brace on the other side. The force of the cyclone was so great that it stretched the python ten feet and shoved Snoozer's legs down into the hard ground up to his body. "When the cyclone passed over Snoozer trotted around, untied the python, replaced it in its cage, pulled up the guy stake with his trunk, returned the ax to its place, slipped the chain over his forefoot and contentedly resumed his noonday meal of hay."?

The Wonderful Esquimaux Whip. There was a contest between four Esquimaux in the Tillage at the Fair, ( writes a Chicago correspondent of the p New Tork World. The prize was a t contest for a five cent piece, which t some American willing to encourage t sport had bnried in the soil so that only <3 a fragment of its glittering rim was ? visible. The men stood eight feet apart, t with whips forty feet long. Such a f whip wonld have been a terror in the r hands of an Esquimaux if it had had a I real handle; but of the forty feet thirty- ? nine feet and a half were lash. The g handle was a stout piece of white wood six inches long, to which the lash of rawhide was fastened. Snch whips are Tiaorl Tw VdnnimmiT trnnn the teams of dogs whioh drag them over the snow. The contest this afternoon demonstrated the fact that it must be very uncomfortable to be an Esquimaux dog within forty feet of the driver. It would be no trouble at all for the Esquimaux to remove an ear or a pound of flesh, full weight, from any dog in the team. The most expert whip among the Esquimaux was a,little man, not much more than four feet high with slanting eyes, and a spiky, black beard, that made him look very Japanese. A movement of his wist sent the forty feet of lash curving back in a straight line like a long snake. Another movement and it came forward, noiselessly shooting through the air just above the surface of the ground until, with a loud report, the tip end of the lash struck the precise spot where the coin lay buried, dug it from the ground, and brought it spinning back to the Esquimaux artist. Such precision and such force are certainly unknown to any other whips in the world. Cowboys with their vaunted cracking TTT^ir*a ofo amall o.f\TO. pared to these wonderful Esquimaux. A man standing half way between the contestants could certainly have been hacked to death with the ends of their laeheB, in a very few minutes. The force with which the tip of the lash struck the ground was so great that the particles of dirt which flew about in- , flicted painful wounds upon the faces of the spectators. Elevator Sickness. Elevator sickness is a sensation analagous to sea sickness. You know if you've crossed Lake Michigan in a northerly gale that you bear with fortitude the motion of your end of the boat when it's on the rise, but listen for the angels' harps when it sinks.
