I Worms That Sprout and Grow. The headline above 6houlil properly have been r full sentence something like this: "Worms that sprout and grow like shrubs;" and the story itself, were it learnedly told, would be a remarkable narrative of one of the most wonderful vegato-animal growths in existence. The scientists say nothing about this great creature, if creature it can be properly called; at 1 ^ T 1 1 K:wst j. juuve ut't'u uuttuic iu uuu the remotest allusion to its existence, and those who have regularly read this department for the past five years will, I believe, cheerfully testify that my facilities for looking up natural and unnatural oddities are among the very best. This vegetable worm has been reported from but one State (Ohio), as far a8 I have been able to ascertain, and there it has never been made the subject of scientific investigation. My informant, a valued and observing friend of liberal education, whom I ?hall designate as "JR. C. N.," says that the creature, when playing in the single role of a larva, is a nine-segmented caterpillar with a hard, yellowish-red head, the body much resembling the common "grub worm." It spends the winter in the loose soil of hazel thickets, and is seldom found except by persons engaged in preparing these jungles for farming purposes. While in his enforced winter sleep, this red headed grub is attacked by a queer species of fungus which always, so far as has been observed, fastens itself in the fold of the eighth segment, about a quarter of an men irom tne veni. &.a approaches this vegetable germ feels the warmth before it has had any effect npon the sleepy worm, and this is sadly to the grub's disadvantage. Immediately the funfctis begins to grow in two directions; a woody stem starts for sunlight and air, and a corky or pulpy substance begins to fill the skin of the worm. Every leg and fold ie filled with the fungus growth; nothing cscapes; it is a clear case of transformation of animal into vegetable tissue. The stem buds when about six inches above ground and bursts into two leare6 resembling those of the hickory.?St. Louis Republic. tm, _ He Thought She Was in Fault.

The readers of this paper will be pleased'to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Care is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Core is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in Its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that It fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J.

NEVER say tliftt the twelve-foot globe in the Brazilian section of the Shoe and Leather 6 Building is made of "India rubber." Call it Para rubber or Baron de Miwajo, the Brazilian Commissioner, will make a correction. He will say that Para rubber iR the best rubber in the world, and that all other rubbers aro imitations. He will then lead the way to the enormous rubber sphere, which has its axis resting on the pol ished stump of a rubber tree, anil will point out ten different varieties of rubbe'r, each from a different river. The Baron is high authority on rubber and has all the simple appliances used by the seringueiro or rubbergatherer for tapping the trees and collecting the milk. He also has the queer inverted vase-like fumatory or furnace, the wooden mold and nuts of the urucury tree, used as fuel for preparing the crude rubber. The seringueiro begins work about 8 o'clock in the morning. He carries with him a little hatchet like a miniature tomahawk, and going along the estrada, a winding path through the forest, makes small cuts in the bark of the rubber tree. Under each gash he i fastens a little tin or clay cup, to collect the white sap which drips from the wound. He goes on blazing a line of trees until noon. Then he retraces his steps with a bucket or gourd and collects the sap from the drip cups. Some of the rubber gatherers prefer to work at night, and to collect the milk in the morning. The gatherers empty their buckets of rubber juice into a large vessel, and the work of smoking begins. This is done to [ harden the sap. The fnrnace is set up in a hut or on a terrace, and a fire is built under it of the nuts of the urucurj', a species of palm tree. It makes a dense smoke, which pours from the circular opening in the top ot the furnace. The work INDIA RUBBEB BALL IN THE B man, sitting beside his fire, with a round wooden paddle dips it into the sap. It clings in a thin layer to the mold, which is turned in the smoke until the water in the sap evaporates. When this is done u thin sheet of solid rubber is left on the paddle. The j operation is repeated nntil a ball of j rubber about the size of a man's head is formed. With a keen knife two ; lateral slashes to the paddle are made, and the wooden center i6 taken out. The rubber is exposed to the sun to BT-RBEK OA THERE It. finish the drying process, anil is then ' ready to bo bent to the nearest shipping point. The product of rubber from Para in : ] 839 amounted to 426,300 kilogrammes, j valued at 237,458,000 rels. One thousand rels are equal to fifty-four centa. In 1892 the rubber produced had increased to 10,891,888 kilogrammes, valued at 45.000,505,551 rels. The visitor to the sho? and leather building will timl rubber boots anil ahoes everywhere but in the Brazilian section. Yet Brazil need to export rubber .shoes by the thousands. Up to j 1840 rubber was exported almost ex- ; clusively iii the form of shoes. JJut the business dwindled, for crude rubber went out instead of the manufactured product. American, English, French and Gorman manufacturers improved the method of manufacturing rubber shoes aud anfced for the crude rubber. This conditions of affairs lowered the exportation of, rubber A - - - * ^1.... shoos, and, although in 1850 138,883 pairs were shipped from Brazil, in 1854 exportation ceased, and since then nothing but smoked rubber has been exported. Rubber for foreign trade is divided into fine, entrefine andsernamby. The last variety is made from the residues of the coagulated sap that escapes from HOUSE ON A RUBBER PLANTATION. 11 1 xl. ^ X tue cups ana nown aioug me ixeeo ur drips to the ground. Rubber was first brought to the attention of Europeans by La Condamine, a Spanish astronomer. In 1741 he arrived in Para on his return from a commission, on which he was sent with other Spanish and French astronomers for the purpose of' making geodetic observations in order to determine the real form of the earth. He did not confine himself to star-gazing, for in several important scientific works which he published he gave Europe information of great value regarding the principal natural products of Brazil. One of them was rubber, which, up to that time, had been unknown to Europeans. ?Chicago Record. 1 How Xature Drives Out Disease Germs. With every twenty breaths a human being inhales from eleven to 375 germs, together with a varying amount of inorganic matter. In a town, of course, the micro-organisms are much thicker than in the comparatively pure country air. Such foreign particles are mostly caught in the mouth, nose and uDDer throat or swallowed, while a certain number pass into the air tubes or lungs. But to drive out all intrusive germs and particles nature has established a wonderful arrangement.

Each of these cells stands on end and has a sort of beard of very small hairs at its extremity. This beard serves as a broom with which the little cell is constantly sweeping night and day. So long as liie stays in the body these thousands of sweepers go on sweeping all foreign material up toward the mouth. In fact, they usually keep at it for a long time after death has arrived, being the last portions of the body to give it up and die.?Washington Star. A Balloon Plant, ( There is a very curious plant to be found growing in the vicinity of Oroville, in this State. The fruit is yellow and a little larger than an egg, and appears like an empty bag rather than a solid, though it contains a watsry substance which evaporates or 'dries up when the fruit is full ripe, leaving a sort of gas inside the fruit which is lighter than air. ' This inflated, bag-like fruit flips hack and forth in the wind till it finally breaks loose from its slender stem, sails up into tbe air, rising iuu or more ieei aud finally disappearing over the hill. Oroville (Cal.) Mercury. Wild Flax. There are three species of wild flax that have yellow flowers; the cultivated species, which has blue flowers, also appears as a weed quite frequently, the seeds being mixed with those of grains. All are annual, but some increase by suckers from the base of the stems, which makes theni perennial, in a way. These weeds are easily killed if prevented from seeding by plowing in the late summer by growing such crop6 as are cultivated, as potatoes, corn, or peas. The first two crops are the best for this purpose. ? New Yurk Times. 'Knocked Out." . The green apple knocks out theamall I boy with a hit below the belt.?Life. | ...... - *.-rfl-t-7 WORDS OF WISDOM. Stupidity is as thick as it is long. Youth wears a crown of to-morrow. Society is a lover of material things. A merry heart doesn't need a brass band. A full stomach maketh a fearless heart. The mother's heart is the child's school-room. Onr self-made men are the glory of our institutions. Personal cleanliness is more desirable than riches. Pleasure is far sweeter as a recreation than a business. That rich man is happiest who can 'convert his dollars into smiles. It is not necessary for a woman to mark each year of her life with a wrinkle. > j The woman who loves herself most can marry a man for his money and be satisfied. The man who is fond of boobs is nsnally a man of lofty thought and of elevated opinions. It is not proper for a man to think of himself first, any more than it is to think of himself last. Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there aro to assist in supporting it. | All the pursuits of men? are the pursuits of women also, and in all of them a woman is only a weaker man. Truth and fidelity are the pillars of the temple of the world; when these are broken, the fabric falls and crushes all to pieces. Life, to bo worthy of a rational being, must be always in progression; we must always purpose to do more or better than in time past. A secret is like silence; yon cannot talk about it, and keep it. It is like money; when once you know there is yi la Violf uiiy kuuucaicu, i? ID uu? <UXWT~?. Novel ?lk Hunting. In the latter part of July and during August the Mexican, or "Californian,"ashe is locally styled, has his greatest field sport?hunting the elk. At this season elk are the fattest. They come down from the mountains, foothills, and crags, attracted by the luxuriant pasturage of the valley lands, coursed by streams or fronting on the sea. In these favored losalities the heavy dews add luxuriance to the twild grassea At this season, because of their extra bulk, elk cannot run so tast. Ordinarily they give the fleetest horse a close race. The Mexican elk hunter is "armed" only with a lariat and a luna, a crescent shaped knife which is tied at the end of a slender pole about ten feet in length. The lnna somewhat resembles the moon, hence ite name. The luna is used to hamstring the elk after the lariat has been thrown over his horns. A party of ten or fifteen Mexicans thus equipped and mounted on the fleetest horses will charge a band of a hundred or more, each man selecting his victim. On being lassoed the elk [will plunge violently, almost pulling the horse forward, for the riata is fastened to the pommel of the saddle. Bnt the trained horaethrowshis weight (backward and stands stiff, with nerves strained to hold the elk in check. The Mexican situ calmly on the horse, talking sarcastically to the straggling jelk, bestowing praise npon himself and smoking his cigarette. After the janimal exhausts himself the Mexican [throws the luna and ,jtamstrings the ,elk. He then cuts its throat with the Juna or hunting knife, if he cares to r {take the trouble to dismount, i Immediately he is off after another, for the stampeded band will soon eecape to the foothills unless they have been run into a glen or on an isthmns, when the slaughter is terrible and cruel. It usually requires two men to dispatch an elk unless the hunters are very ekpert?one to throw the lariat, the other the luua. To cut the throat of a wounded elk I as he turns his large, full eyes, expres- | sive of fright, sorrow and reproach, upon his merciless captor requires a hardened heart and robs the sport of its pleasures seemingly. But the Mexican regards the coup de grace as the acme of the chase. An elk will yield seventy-five to twenty-five pounds of tallow. It is largely used by the rancneros for cooking purposes because of its superior whiteness, hardness aud delicate taste. It commands & good price in the market, as does the hide. How the Apple Tarts Went. Meyer, the confectioner, stood behind his counter and gazed sadly at the huge pile of apple tarts which were beginning to grow stale, for during the last few days business had been unaccountably slack. Suddenly he bethought himself ot a plan. Sitting down to his desk he wrote out the following advertisement and sent it to the pewspaper office: "Genuine Offer of Marriage?A poung man of agreeable exterior and ample means desires to form the acquaintance of a lady with a view to piaking her his partner for life. Beauty and wealth are not so much an object as a good character and an amiable disposition.

A few minutes after three the whole stock of apple tarts was cleared out. ? Sheffield (England) Telegraph. Economies of Clielnistry. Tn speaking of the economies that chemistry has wrought the Scientific American says: "Chemists turn scrap iron into ink, old oones into jucner matches, the shavingsofthe black smith shop into Prussian blue, fusel oil into oil of apples ami pears, the drainiugs of cow-houses into fashionable perfumery, beggars' rags into uew pilot coats, cesspool filth into ammonia ami tar waste into animal dyes and saccharine. In Paris, they first utilize rata to clear the flesh from the bones of carcasses, then kill the rats, use up their fur for trimmings, their skin for gloves, their thigh bones for toothpicks and their tendons and bones for gelatine wrappers. These are a few of i the things converted into uae by the | chsittifil am] inventor." ! A Matter ol Heal tit. Housekeepers faintly realize tho danger of an indiscriminate use of the numerous baking powders nowadays found upon every Land, and which are urged upon consumers with Bnch persistency by peddlers and many grocers E on account of tho big profits made in their sale. Most of those powders are made from sharp and caustic acids and alkalies which burn and inflame the alimentary organs and cause indigestion, heartburn, diarrhceal diseases, i etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash, burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc- " Sg agents in such baking powders, ost housekeepers are aware of the painful effects produced when these chemioals ijie.applied, to the.. external flesh. How much more acute must be ? their action upon the delicate internal j membranes! Yet unscrupulous manufacturers do not hesitate to use them, because they make a very low-costpow- , der, nor to urge the use of their pow- < ders so made, by all kinds of alluring ad- 1 vertisemente and false representations. 1 All the low priced or so-called cheap baking powders, and all powders ?old with a gift or prize, belong to this clftRfi. . j Baking powders made from chemically pure cream of tartar and bi-carbonate of soda are among the irost useful of modern culinary devices. They not only make the preparation of finer and more delicious cookery possible, but they have added to the digestibility and wholesomeness of our food. But baking powders must be composed of such pure and wholesome ingredients or they must be tabooed entirely. Dr. Edson, Commissioner of Health of New York, in an article in the "Doctor of Hygiene," indicates that the advantages of a good baking powder and the exemption from the dangers of bad ones in which the harsh and caustic chemicals are used, are to be secured by the use of Royal Baking Powder exclusively, and he recom- "* mends this to all consumers. "Tho Royal," he says, "contains nothing but cream of tartar and soda refined to a chemical purity, which when combined under the influence of heat and moisture produce pure carbonic, or leavening, gas. The two , materials used, cream of iartar and jj soda, are perfectly harmless even when eaten, but in this preparation they are combined in exact compensating weights, so that when chemical action begins between them in the dough they practically disappear, the substance of both having been taken to form carbonic-acid gas." Kence it is, he save, that the Eoyal Baking Powder is tho most perfect of all conceivable agents for leavening purposes. , It seems almost incredible that any manufacturer or dealer should urge, tho sale of baking powders containing injurious chemicals in place of those of a well-known, pure and wholesome 1 character simply for the sake of a few ! cents a pound greater profit; but since l. they do, a few words of warning seem I to be necessary.
