The little museum which forms part of the record office in Chancery lane is a British institution better known to Americans than to the thousands of | Londoners who dally pass its doors. Of course, the most treasured of the museum’s exhibits is the Dooms- day book, but hardly less interesting are the gunpowder- plot papers, the Wellington papers, the log of the Victory, the last letter which Nelson wrote with his right hand and the first he “scribbled” with his left hand after losing the right one, the treaty of peace—strongly reminiscent of the Field of the Cloth of Gold—between Henry VIIL and Francis L, illuminated bocks worth a monarch’s ransom and royal charters galore. All these things, however, do not seem to interest the Londomer, and seldom will one find more than a doz- en people in the museum and of these the majority wili not be Brit- ishers. “This museéum,” said an official, “is better known to Americans than it is to Englishmen. ‘Americans are not only interested in the Doomsday book, royal charters and exchequer records, but naturally in things pertaining to their own country. “They like to see William Penn’s signature appended to & petition .to King James II. praying that the .dif- ference between Lord Baltimore and himself may soon be heard by the lords of the plantations, ‘the delay be- ing very ruinous;’ that of George ‘Washington to a letter to his ‘great and good friend’ King George III., con- cerning the exchange of ratification of & treaty of amity, commerce and navi- gation conoluded in November,. 1794, as well as the signatures -of John Adams, Stephen Hopkins, Benjamin Fraoklin and Thomas Jefferson on various documents.”—Pall Mall Ga- sette. QUEER PLANT THAT COUGHS Works Ifself Into a Rage When Dust I8 Dsposited on .Its Leaves. All have read of carnivorous plants, of laughing plants and of plants that weep, but who has heard of & plant that coughs? There is the authority of a French botanist, however, for the statement that a plant in various tropical re- glons actually possesses the power to cough in the most approved man- ner. The fruit of this plant resembles the common broad bean. It appears that the coughing plant 18 something of a crank, that it easily works {tself into rage and that it has & curious horror of ‘all dust. As goon as a few grains of dust are deposited on its leaves; the aiy chambers that cover their faces and are respiratory organs of the plant become filled with gas, swell and end by driving out the gas with a slight explosion and a sound that resembles 80 much the cough of a child suffer- ing from a cold as to carry a most| U uncanny sensation to the one behold- ing the phenomenon.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Ald to Memory. Sally Sweeney was accustomed to visit Galway twice every week in or- der to get anything needed by the fam- ily. Though she could neither read nor write she never forgot any of the messages with which the family had intrusted her. But once, however, her memory failed her. She had been or- dered by one of the family to buy a yard of some color of satin. ‘The ac- customed word slipped her mind. But she was not to be baffled by that little word. She walked into a dry goods store near at hand, still thinking hard She asked of one of the clerks: “Say, mister, what is it you call de] divil, when it ain't divil you say ‘to Hm “Can you be meaning Satan?” asked the astonished clerk. “Fer sho! Fer sho! De very - wnn!" cried Sally. “Can you gi’ me a yard?" Author Who Can’t Be Tagged- The writer of fiction, who also looks for steady success, must.never by.any:|. chance get himself labeled. As soon as he finds his critics saying:. “This man writes sensation,” or “This..man ‘writes sentiment,” as the case.may be, that is the moment when he must suddenly switch off to something-else.
