.Eb.e Bralns...or the Sensitive Pant. The Sensitive Plant, which is such a delicate house ornament with us, fairly enamels the earth in Ceylon, growing wild from Adatn's- Poant to Point de Galle, multiplying~ifs; dainty, bell-like pink blossoms, mingletTwth~ the deli cate feathery Acacia. Growing so ex posed and in weed-like abundance, It is. natural to suppose tUat it would be _ome hardened, as -t were, to rough 'Usage, but it-is not~so, as it retains.all itnative properties In exaggerated form if possible. Our puny little hot house specimens are not more delicate nor sensitive to the human touch than is this Ceylon Mimosa. It is the most impr ssible of all known plants. and is appropriately named. Curious experi ments prove this. If a person will fix his eyes upon .a special branch and slowly approach it, the plant is seen gradually to wilt and shrink within it self, as it were, before it is touched by the observer's hand. It is endowed with an inexplicable intelligence or in stinct, and what appears to be a dread as regards rude contact with hunian beings. A few years since the author was at Cereto, -in the island of Cuba. where he was the guest of an English phpsician-.who was -also a coffee planter. While sitting with the family on the broad piazza which formed the front of the bungalow, a thrifty Sensi tive Plant was recognized and mane the subject of remark. The doctor called his daughter of eleven years from the house. "Lena." said he, "go and kiss the Mimosa." The child did so, laughing gleefully, and came away. The plant gave no token of shrinking from contact with the pretty child: "Now," said my host, "will you touch the plant?" - Rising to do so. I approached it with one hand extended. and before it had come fairly in conract the nearest spray and leaves wilted visibly. "The plant knows the child." said the doctor. "but you are a stranigcr." It was a puzzling experience. which seem ed to endow the Mimosa with intelli gence.-Saturday Evening Post.

The Northerner reaching Tampa at night now can hardly realize that he left New York or Washington so short a time before. The real color of this first impression is given by the brown faced, roughly clothed troops, who tramp up and down, and gossip in the doorways-men who show in their faces the grit and daring that have led to victory since C.esar's time, and in their bodies the endurance of Indians and the strength of a 'Var sity rush-line. At first the careless ness of their attire creates an unfa vorable impression. Half of them parade the streets in their shirts. Every man seems to have an individ 'I - EVERY SOLDIER HIS O u al way of wearing his hat. Some stick the top straight up, otl,rs jam it flat, and the rest wear it as sane people always thought it should be worn. Their leggings are of un dressed leather, neat and serviceable. For the most part their chins are covered with the faizzy beginnings of campaign beards. Electri'c cars run from the camp. Once on the camping-ground the visi tor finds the soft shade of the pines in place of the whif,e glare of the open he has. left. He sees the new -K r ag -Jorgensen r ifl es stacked ,down the comn - / pany streets, and / th.e ammunition belts, each carry ing two hundred Scartridges, hung over them. The new bayonet is a knife-lime weapon several inches SHa wEnY wEArHER.. shorter than those! of the old triangular form, and fur nished with a haft. Most of the men, when at leisure, go into town, the others lounge in their tents, reading and talking. A reason able amount of good-natured horse play is seen among them. Among the men nothing but words qf praise are to be heard for their officers, and among the officers nothing but good things of their men. The officers know that in battle the i troops under them will do as they are1 ordered, to the let-I ter; and the menj know that they will be told to do the - right thing at the - righit time.

All the work of this sort in a regimont is done by its prisoners men who are under short arrest for misdemeanors or for some breach of military regalations; and, clad in brown, they go about in detachments of two or three under guard of a sen try, who bears a loaded rifle and who is responsible for the prisoners he is in charge of. '1..1 V " ASHE JbII%N." STORY-TELLING ABoUND THlE CAMP-FIR.E. When a regiment is going into camp the busiest and most harassed person in it is the quartermaster. He it is who has charge of all camp equipage and who is responsible for the trans portation of it. Also he must stand eady to supply any deficiency, from feed for horses or mules to a coat for some private who is suddenly minus his; and he and the commissary ser ge ant, his right hand man, think not of themselves until the regiment is in stalled under cover. Each offcer car ries his own camp outfit-tent, blan Lets and mers chest-aud sees to it before he leaves garrison. There his responsibility practically ceases and falls upon the shoulder of his' "stryker" -not a socialist, but a servant pro vided an oflicer by army regulations. The stryker is a sort of general facto tumn, and is usually a man from the officers own company or troop. .He is a jack of all trades, and good at them, too; and when the regiment hi .
