Here’'s a pretty tale of domestic economy from an English paper. He bad been brought up in the lap of luxury and extravagance, and when bad times came and he had to go down to the city and look carefully after his shillings it was his pretty and tender little wife who helped him and encour- aged him by example In small savings. One fence he never would face. He balked at taking a bus. “It might pass the club, you know, dear, and the fellows at the windows.” One evening, however, he returned ra- diant to dinner. Tenderly embracing his life’s partner, he murmured: “I've done it, darling! All the way for three- pencel” Love and gratitude were in her eyes as she said: “My brave boy! Did you mind it very much?” With af- fectionate cheeriness he made answer: “No, dear! Got box seat; real good old sort, the driver. Told me lots of stories and was quite chatty. Capital chap! Gave him a big cigar and half a crown for himself when I got down.” e a The Disadvantages of Schools. “Why have you taken your son out of school without asking permission?” Father (a grocer) — But they were ruining him. I wish to bring him up to carry on my business, and they were teaching him that there are sixteen ounces in a pound.—Motto Pu Ridere. | How. Frost Affects Plants. Plants do not freeze to death in win- ter, but perish from thirst. The proc- ess Is simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells i of the plant, forming ice crystals out- side of the cells. The frost, cooling and contracting the surface, acts as a sort of pump, and as soon as the cell is emptied of its life giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has been-proved by numerous careful experiments, Great variation was found in the amount of cold necessary to cause the death of vegetation. Some plants dry out quickly and are killed before the freezing point is reached. Many plants will survive zero weather, and some die only at 20 degrees be- low. Certain vegetable growths never freeze. There are forms of bacteria that even when immersed in liquid afr, the Intensest cold available, come out of thelr bitter bath as chipper and live- ly as ever.—Chicago Tribune. Precious Plant Stones. Among the many strange things to be found in the Philippine Islands are the so called “plant stones” encounter- ed now and again in certain vegetable growths. The bamboo, for instance, according to Kultur und Natur, con- talns a stone very similar to the opal, but on account of the rarity with which 1t is found it is much more costly than the opal. In many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beau- tiful greenish pink scintillating stone has been formed from the minute parti- cles of siliceous deposit that imparts its intense hardness to the outer cov- ering of the cane. The bamboo cane stone is known as tabashirs. In the interlor of some cocoanuts a stonellke secretion is found that is not inferior In brilliancy to the most beautiful gen- uine pearl. S Wonderful Builders. A personal inspection of the pyra- mids made by an English quarry own. er led him to the conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He found blocks of stone in the pyramids weighing three or four times as much as the obelisks on the banks of the Nile. He saw a stone the estimated welght of which was 800 tons. Many of the stones were found to be thirty feet In length and fitted so closely to- gether that the blade of a penknife could be run over the surface without discovering the break between them. There is no machinery, he claims, so perfect that It will make two surfaces thirty feet In length which will meet together in unison ag the stones in the pyramids meet. Two Hundred Species of Roses. There are 200 specles of roses In ex- Istence, though perhaps not more than ffty clearly defined families. Of these families only two are of American birth. There are thousands of varle- tles, however, and of these our enter- prising rose growers have contributed by far the largest proportion. eagerly sought black rose is still un- produced, though a New York florist has a dark red one which in some lights has the appearance of black vel- vet—Kansas City Journal. The The Hymn He Didn’t Want. A young man who was to be mar- rled in church to a Miss Way, after a courtship of four years, privately re- quested-the choir not to open the sery- ice by singing, “This Is the Way I long have sought.” Mrs. A.
