Cannibal Plant. “ In the Indian territory is a remark- nble parasite called the air plant. One will frequently find the ground ov- ered with what seems luxuriant vege- tation, for this plant has a rich foliage of deep and abundant green. However, If one lifts one of these little twigs he will find it attached to a strong, woody stem. Continuing to lift it and following it for yards, he will find that the vine is not clinging to any- thing, but is simply lying upon other plants, and if he follows it its whole length he will come to the other end of the stem, without root and attached to nothing. Under the plant will be only dead twigs and stems of other vegetation, for nothing can live under this life- sapping vine. Cuts the World's Whiskers.

He tells the following story of the prima donna and the duke of Wellington: “In four months after her arrival in London the old warrior had be- come a captive to the enchantre He courted thé lady so ostentatious- Iy as 'to rouse the jJealousy of the Italian faction; his enthusiasm was rather awkward at times to the ob- ject_of his homage, 1 have her n duthority for saying that the duke always arrived early and seated himself In his box on a level with the stage. Directly he saw Jenny Lind he opened fire: ‘Good evening, Miss Lind, how are you tonight? All right, I hope’ These well-meant utterances were a tritle out of place at the particular time, for the Lucia, Amina, or Daughter of the Regi- ment was always so absorbed in her part as to be out of touch with all outside Influence.” | Penny-urious, So to Speak.
