A vine known as the wutervine is found all through t hat region. It yields an abundant supply of excellent drinking fluid whenever It Is called upon. This vine grotfs toahp.Kht of sixty tontuuty fwt. It in usually atiout as tbiuk an the uppw part of the human arm. It winds Itaelf loowty around tree, fllamhera up to thair mi mm its and then falls down perpendicularly to the ground, where it take root again. The natives out thin vine off at the ground and then, at a height of atiout nix or seven feet, they cut it again, which leave in their band a very stout piece of wood a little longer than tiieniHelvm. In order to obtain it wip they raise the lower end of the vine upon Home mipport and ap ply the upper end to their mouths, Tbe auction of the vim, while showing a month, apparently compact aurfaoe, is pierced wit-b many little vein, through which the aap flows freely, blx feet of the vine gives about a pint of water which in slightly swtwt to the ttmte, Cowlreao aavs that it quonohea thirxt as nftectfrely as water from tbe moat refreshing brook. New York Sun. nventurs and Imv, There is no doulit tlmt inventors do not, as a rule, make good lovers. The man whoa? brain is full of some great mechani cal project, whose heart ami soul are cen tered on t be achievement of aome wonder of wheel or pulleys, or fire or ateam, has not much room for tbe softer feelinga which supply so much of the poetry of cnrnttion humanity. Hi love is given to his invention. Uf it he dreams by day a well as by night; for it he makeii hl sacri fices, undergoes privations and waits and laiKtrs with Hocb patient endurance. He will often woo and marry, after the manner of meu, but he will never become the "moonstruck," lovelorn individual which more purposeless men are capable of Iteooming. He will Ik a businesslike rather than an ardent lover, and will make a dut iful ruther than uu affectionate bus band; the romance of his life is his life's work, his invention, uud as tlmt goes well or ill no will bin heart be light or heavy. Castien's Mugozine. Keedtework In the toventh Century. Before the end of the Seventh century needlework wax curried to great perfection in convent, where It was used, for the em bellishment of the church and the decora tion of priestly robes. Artist did not think it U'tieat h their dignity to trace the pat terns used for embroidery in their natural colors. A certain religious lady, wishing to embroider a sacerdotal vestment, asked no lean a personage than St. Iunstan, then a young muu, but already noted for his artiKtic tiki II and taste, to draw t he flowers and figures which she afterward worked in gold thread. Wonmu's Work. A Warn lot; to PsrenU. Over and over again it has been asserted that it is uot the Iwnt, but one of the worst tbiugs to do with our boys, to make them clerks; but parents, it would seem, do uot think so. There are at this moment over 300 names on the list of applicants for the next vucaucy at a londou bank where the seniority principle is in force, and the uew comer would begiu at rather lean than forty pounds a year. At a large iusurauce office there are 1K0 waiting for the ftmt chance. London Tit-Bits. Substitute far a Diamond.. It has been found that half burned arc carbons will cut glass. Containing as they do mauy of tbe characteristics of tbe diamond, this is not surprising. Unfor tunately the street arah has discovered this fact and now amuses himself by scratching plate glass windows and doing other destructive work. The only remedy is for tiie lamp trimmer to leave no frag ments of the caudles in the streets. New York Telegram. Qaeer Ideas About Birds. The blackbird and thrush are "wander ing souls" whose sins must be expiated on earth, bene they are forced to endure the rigors of winter. Rooks, jackdaws, bats, hawks and owls are animated by toot sou Is, The wagtail is called the "devil's bird," fur no other reason, I suppose, than that it cleverly evades the missiles thrown at it. A dead wagtail is a rara avis. Irish Times, A Powerful Explosive. The most wonderful and the most pow erful explosive known is said to be chloride of nitrogen. It is believed to be the only substance that will explode on coming in contact with a bright beam of light, whether the beam be from an electric light or the Hun. Philadelphia Ledger. The members of the Japanese club in New York city issue a Japanese news paper. It is printed on a hektograph, and ouly a small number of copies are made.

This Is the word: "Honhquellenwasser lief era n Barohrenfatalitaton." The mean descent of the Ohio river from the juuctlon of the Alleghany and the Wonoitgahela to the MiKissippt is about tX inches per mile, the distance being 975 xnilua. Gallantry Tlmt Matte a funs. Whether gallantry is at nil times a good thing to display In public is a rjufwUon that was debated mentally by a earful of people in H road way Friday night. The car was bound down town, and at fourteenth street it was comfortably filled. It was nearly 11 o'clock, and the outpouring crowd from the Star theater supplied enough mora passenger to pack tire car from door to door. Three or four men were seated, and half a dozen women, all young, vivacious and apparently robust,, were standing, Everybody was good na turod, and as the car bowled along there was not the slightest manifestation of dis comfort, lint there was one very gallant young man who could not let well enough alone. He was packed snugly between two women, whone skirts almost concealed the lower portion of his body. -. By frantic efforts he extricated himself, and with a polite bow tendered his seat to A young woman who was contentedly con versing with some friends who were also standing. She glanced ' at the vacated seat, saw about two inches of space, and smilingly shook her head. Butthegallant young man insisted, and, in an effort to make another bow, knocked a stout woman with a bundle off her balance. The woman felUnto the hip of an old gentleman am the bundle landed among the feathers and ribbons of a "love of a bonnet" at the other end of the car. The startled old gentlemen, in trying to assist the stout woman to her feet, lost his silk hat, which, in its downward course, swept a pair of opera glasses from the lap of the woman who sat next t o him. Mean while the gallant young man was trying to apologize to the stout woman. He stum bled over the feet of one passenger, knocked a woman's hat awry, and by the sudden stopping of the car involuntarily embraced the maiden to whom he had of fered his seat. There were muttered signs of discontent, and the embarrassed gallant would have left the car but for the nuissss of humanity packed between him and the doors. He therefore swung disconsolately from a strap, bumping against this one and that, and listening to such feminine ejaculations as "Well, I never!" "For goodness sake!" Gracious!" etc. And the young woman did not take his seat. New York Times. The Oame of Chews. The origin and history of tbe game of chess is involved in much obscurity. Some authors say that it was invented during the siege of Troy to relieve the tediousness thus imposed upon the Grecian chiefs. Others refer the invention to the Egyp tians and cite a sculpture of the time of the building of the Pyramids, where a lion and a unicorn ore depicted as being deep in the mysteries of tbe game. The Chinese claim the game as one of their inventions, and so do several other countries and no tions, -among them the Ceylonese. They say that while Kavan, a king of Ceylon, was undergoing a siege, Beffa, a Hindoo mathematician, invented the game for the amusement of his royal master, who was thus enabled to mimic the movements of his enemies on the tiny batilelleld before him. Although we can find no definite trace of the game in England prior to its introduc tion by the French in the Eleventh cen tury, it is known to have been the court game all over continental Europe at least fcOO years before. Alplionso, king of Cas tile, and Pope Innocent III, both wrote works on the game, and the second book printed in t he English language was "The fiame and Piaye of the Chesse." Sac cheiri, a Jesuit of Turin, ca'.led the "Chess Bishop," could play with three different opponents with' tut seeing oue of the boards, and talk with the company during the time of the play, St. Louis Republic, The Oranlwrewut Sandwrrh Man. Too much enterprise sometimes defeats itself. The erase for advertising by means of a big set Btieue iu u show window doubt less has its uses but it would shock the great merchants who pay the bills if they could see exactly how the scheme some times worked. .l-uch a window hod been decked out the i :t her day whether in the capital or the metropolis makes no differ ence and before it were gathered repre sentatives, both small and great, of the public who were to be captured by the free show. What did they see? Not one detail of the elaborate display prepared for their benefit, but instead four huge sandwich boards advertising the similar wares of a rival. It was not a deep laid scheme on the part of the rival either. He had simply sent out a brigade of such irresponsible citizens as are willing to be employed as peripatetic business announcements, with instructions to keep where the largest crowd was to he found. Attracted both by the throng and by the scene in the win dow they hud placed themselves in the front rank of spectators, and by leaning their boards in a row against the glass, hod transformed the costly advertisement of the wealthier house into a free boom for the cheap one. Kate Field's Washington. TalUes Cats. . Conditions other than those of mere breeding seem to have much influence on the development of physical charat ter in cats. In oue authenticated case a tabby, which had lost her tail by having that appendage run over, gave birth in ber next litter to three stump tailed kit tens out of seven. The Manx cat is not the only tailless variety. In the Crimea is found knottier kind of cat which has no tail. The domesticated Malay cat has a tail that is only about one-half the ' twial length, and very often it is tied by j nature in a sort ot knot which cannot be straightened out. Interview in Wash ington Star, ;:!,.', Tbe Color of the Itye. The color uf the trie in not uniform in any eye.
