what caused him to act so rashly
is not known. He was not
drinking. He says that he went
to the cooler while the train
was passing Salem ana iook a
drink of water, and that he cannot
recall anything' whatever
after that. Some passengers
say that he appeared tc be nodding
when noticed just before
the train came up to the depot.
It is thought that he was either
half asleep when he attempted
to get off the train or had a
slight attack of vertigo.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is atleast
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying thefoundatiou
of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so ranch faith in its curative
powers that thev offer One Hundred
Dollajs for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

GALAX IS LOYAL
1 The Plant Will Grow Only In Certain j
Sections of the South.
Many persons whose interest is i
attracted dailv bv the wreaths of ]
i * . 1
dark green or bronze foliage labeled ]
j "galax leaves" at the doors of the ,
; florists' shops probably do not know j
that the plant from which these ]
leaves are picked is one of the most 1
loyal and truly American to be 1
found. In fact, the galax root re- '
i fuses to prow in any other soil than I
that of the United States.
Not only is the galax American. but
it is born and bred southen
It will no more flourish outside <>
Dixie than in an alien soil. Few
plants are restricted in growth to
so narrow an area. In a small see- <
tion of rugged country in the Ap- <
' palachian mountain range, where I
| the corners of Virginia, North Caro- ^
j lina, Georgia and Tennessee run up
j together, the galax clusters grow in j
| profusion. They are indigenous to ^
i this region, elevated many thou- J ^
J sands of feet above sea level, and, | (
j although many attempts have been i
I made to introduce the plants in ; j

and in foreign lands as well, the experiments

in the hothouse. Only the rare air
and mountain loam of its native soil
seem adapted to its growth.
Accordingly since the discovery
of the value of galax leaves for decorative
purposes hundreds of tons
of them have been sent to the
northern markets from their native
corner in the mountains, where dur.
ing certain seasons whole families
i devote themselves to gathering and
packing them for shipment. There
are many points in favor of the use
of the galax in decorative schemes.
A dark green during the summer
1 months and a rich bronze after being
touched by the frost, the leaves
retain their hues for weeks after
they are gathered. Furthermore,
> tjiey are very hardy, permitting
rough and ready packing, which
renders their shipment inexpensive.
They retain their freshness and color
for a long time without being
kept in water.
Possessing these qualities, it was
only natural that the galax should

The Age of Birds. ,
1 Birds of very small size and slen- '
dor build not only live to a very old
age, but in their old age are freer (
from accidents and sign of senility
than is always the case among animals.
It used to be said that crows:
and carrion crows lived over 100^
years. If this statement seems rath- }
er exaggerated, there is no question j
that well known naturalists speak (
of crows of fifty, sixty and even sev- ,
enty years old. Eagles, horned owls ,
on/1 liorniu oftnin cimilnr .icos, nrtd
Mr. Qurney, the English naturalist,
cites a condor of fifty-two years old,
a horned owl of sixty-eight and a 1,
'royal eagle that died in its fifty- j j
sixth year. But the record of Ion- j
gevity undoubtedly belongs to the
parrot. M. Abrahams declares an ,
Amazon parrot reached the ripe old ]
age of 102 years, and a Frenchman, ,
M. Lepaillat, tells us of a parrot,
Jacko by name, that had lost its

Bchich reveals animate objects. Xonhere
in the country are busybodies
mployed 60 extensively as in the
Quaker Citv. They are to be found
Dn almost every house, at least on
?very house of any pretensions.
^Unless you have fived in l'hilaelphia
such an explanation would
>t prove satisfactory, however. A

take the place of hay v.-'ndows.
The primary ohj.vt in setting up
i busybody is to see whu is at the
front door or who may be approaching
from eithq- side of the building
to the door. The topmost piece of
?lass is tilted so that it will show
the front doorstep. One piece of
^lass is set at an angle to catch a
reflection of all that is going on at
the right side of the street and anDther
to reflect the approach to the
left.
In Philadelphia, where ninetynine
out of every hundred houses
are built out to the sidewalk
ind all houses are built in a
line, busvbodies become great time

The Chewers.
"Tobacco isn't the only thing
ihewed," said the cigar store man.
'I wish it was. In the far east
they chew the betel. They wrap the
nut in a bit of leaf, and for seasoning
they add a little lime. It's a
;art tasting chew, not bad, and it
nas, like tobacco, a soothing effect.
Coffee experts and dealers chew coffee
beans, and tea dealers chew tea.
Very exhilarating, both chews, but
ruinous to the nerves and digestion.
Jockeys and trainers chew oats, hay,
straw?anything l^orsy. Horse feed
makes a cheapr a*d harmless chew.
In the spice trade the hands often
^et the habit of chewing ginger or
nnnamon or a ciove, out epices an;
bad for the teeth. Seamstresses

:hew gum."
Vegetable Ivory.
The plant yielding the vegetable
ivory is known to botanists as Phyielephas
macrocarpa. It is a native
)f South America, found chiefly
ilong the Magdalena river, in Coombia.
It is a stemless, palmlike
plant, the top of which is crowned
&*itn from twelve to twenty very
long leaves. The fruit consists of a ;
jonglomerated head in six or seven
sections, the whole being inclosed in ^
i woody covering, forming altogethjr
a globe as large as a man's head 1
\ single plant sometimes bears six J
>r eight of these heads, each weighng
from twenty to twenty-five
rounds. When young they contain
i milklike fluid, which with age
Hardens until it becomes valuable as
i substitute for real ivory.
BOBBY'S CHANGE.
He Returned From the Psrty Bringing
His Sheaves With Him.
Little Robert, aged four, present
ed his mother with a large sized
shock the other day. It was a case
of sowing a mild little breeze and
reaping a full crown whirlwind.
Robert is Mrs. B.'s first and has
always had a large front seat in her
affections. Even when Mrs. B. attended
parties she remembered
Robert and would slip a bit of candy
into her handkerchief to carry
home to him.
Not that Robert did not have as
much candy of his own as was good
? 1x1
lor turn?and more, too?out ne
took .-;n awed delight in anything
which came from a party. So his
mother always produced some soavc'v
r of her molest social dissipation?
with whicji to satisfy Uobert.
A few weeks ago Ro!>ert himself
went to a party, his very first. A
maid f ro.'aiit him home and left
him, t- rfier with a large paper
h;::. in ti t' eager arms of his weleomhig
mother. The first rapture
of description had scarcely begun
when Mrs. It. became conscious of
the hiiiky 1
"Why, Robert, what's this?"
'"It's for you. I brought it to you'"
from the party."
With some misgiving Mrs.'
opened the bag. It eontaine

That lady faced the double problem
of e olaining the situation to
Robert's ostess and of presenting
to Roh a clear reason why what
was pa j for the goose, so to speak,
was ' tally different thing for the
gar . The explanation, which
/red down, of course, to a
stion of size or quantity was far
being clear to Robert, who is
his mind and thinks he does
Lv ' for society at all.?New j

What David Said.
A country clergy man . kept a {
young servant lad. One Sunday
morning before service he gave him
his orders about the dinner and I
said:
"Go to neighbor David and ask
him for me to let you have some
tripe on credit, and then prepare
me a nice plateful." |
The lad did as he was told, and
the clergyman went to conduct the
icrvice. As he stood in the pulpit
l:e ended out in the middle of his!
sermon:
"And on this subject, brethren,
u!. .t docs David say?" ,
At that moment his little valet
stepped into the church, and, in the
belief that his master was addressing
him. he replied:
"P!e:-<-e, sir, he says, 'No money, 1
no trlpc.' " ?Answers.
His Stage Statistics.
Here are some amusing statistics
given by a well known German actor
at the close of a pamphlet con- 1
taining an account of his life:
I have played 455 different parts i
in 371 plays in 98 towns on 3,683 I
occasions. I have been married !
1,721 times, have died 1,120 times, |
been stabbed to death 61 times, i
chnt r?1 times drmvned 32 times.
poisoned 1G times, clubbed to death
8G times, beheaded 31 times, as-,
sassinated 100 times, hanged 37
times, committed suicide 314 times j
and died a natural death 55 times.

Sensible Suggestion.
He fell on his knees before her. j
"I will do anything to prove my
love for you," he said. "I will go to
the ends of the earth if necessary.
No task that you may set me can be
too difficult, too hazardous. Only
tell me what I can do to cbnvince
you"?
"You might marry me," she suggested
simply.
Taking everything into consider
ation, it finally occurred to him that
possibly the idea was a good one.
After all, it is not so hard to prove
one's love as it sometimes seems.

odd combination of breakfast
i balls and eggs is prepared in

Egg balls are an attractive break- j

boiled hard and the whites removed.
Some minced ham is miied with
white sauce and seasoned with a little
dry mustard and spread on

JELLYFISH. , |
One of the Peculiar Forme of the Ar.lmal
Life of the Sea.
\
Upon the sand at the water's
edge there lies a particle of jellylike
substance, inconspicuous and
almost invisible. But in early spring
one moves in such a world of wonders,
the merest atoms of tissue
- a a * %
are "seen to be informed witn simn
varied and vivid life, that I lift the
particle carefully upon a shell and
drop it into a jar of water to 6ee
a strange unfoldment, a beautiful
transformation. The central mass *
expands into a double chambered
bell of pure and transparent vesture,
and these gossamer globes begin
to contract with regular rhythmic
motion, lifting the creature up- .
ward and softly urging it forward
by their quickly repeated pulsa- , J
tions, while from below four gradually
lengthening tentacles trail
backward with graceful undulations.
This beautiful medusa, the Sarsia
mirabilis, is the earliest of our jellyfishes
to appear in spring. By its
pleasing and graceful form, by its
eager and tireless movements, it
seems to visit our shores at this season
almost like an Ariel of the deep,,
voiceless, it Is true, but throbbing
with its message that the ocean's
submerged shores and its dark abysmal
chasms are all alike awakening
to the spirit that transforms the
upper world. One is at a loss to
comprehend these creatures, so different
in form from any that we are
wont to associate with animal life,
for, although without a head, they
are yet capable of sensing the light ^ '
and auditory vibrations. Without
hands, arms or antennae, they are
yet responsive to tactile impressions
and, although of such fragile and
gossamer texture, are yet the vehicle
of vivid and intensive life. The
movements of the body and the
contained impulses that prompt
them seem one and indivisible. The
desires of its being seem themselves
to urge it forward. Like a thought
it seems momentarily embodied or
an emotion precipitated into the
visible as it impulsively mounts upward
in eager quest or in apparent
disappointment relaxes its efforts
and subsides with all its drifting
appendages a-stream, only after x&
moment to palpitate again with refreshed
intention and slowly pulse
on its softly insistent way.?H. J.
