A young botanist was showing a par- ty of ladies and gentlemen through the conservatory and explainiag to them the properties of soras of the choicest plants. Among the visitors was a would be young looking middle aged lady, who at every description volunteered the statement that the plants and flowers she had at home were quite equal to anything exhibited here or indeed any- where. Just as they were passing a giant cactus she was heard to exclaim: **Well, this is nothing extraordinary. I have a cactus at bome that is stil] | larger. I planted and reared it myself.”’ | *‘Reared it yourse.f,’’ the professor gently observed. ‘‘How remarkable! This specimen is 68 years old, and if yours is still larger’’—- The lady did not stay to hear any more, but executed a strategic move- ment to the rear.—Pearson’s Weekly. | a Her Beginning.

Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription is the greatest of all imnedicines for women. More of it has been sold than of any other medicine for women. Over ninety-theusand women have testified to its marvelous results. It acts dirertly on the distinctly womanly organism, ané gives it strength, heaith and vigor. It allays in- flammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones the nerves. It does away with the ailments ef the period of anticypation and makes baby’s ikoant easy and ‘almost painless. It insures tne n¢wcomer’s health and an ample supply of nourishment. In Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Ad- viser hundreds of women relate over their signatures their experieuces with this mar- velous medicine. It is sold by a good medicine dealers. ‘Last month I had no pain at all and »vorked every day without inconvenience. It was the firet time I passed that pe ‘riod without pain,’ writes Miss Lauretta McNees, of Reno (P.O. Box 723), Washoe Cea.

Some of the Conundrums With Which the Smithsonian Officials Are Assailed. The doorkeépers of the Smithsonian in- stitution havea hard timeof it in answer- ing the questions propounded them by the visitors to that place. These questions are original, if nothing else, and cover all va- rieties of subjects. Oneof the men who has been there for a number of years has become so accustomed to hearing these that he would not be surprised, he said, if some one should ask him gravely, where the right molar tooth of George Washing- | ton’s grandmother's great aunt could be found. Neither would he think that the propounder of the question was a lunatic. | Strange to say, though in some places , it might not be regarded as strange, most of these peculiar questions are asked by the feminine portion of the visitors to the institution. Some time agoa lady, who bad every appearance of being such, in addition to having an intelligent face and | cultivated manners, stepped up to a door- | | keeper and inquired, in a tone of voice | which showed that she was in earnest: “Would you kindly direct me to the por- | tion of the institution where I could find | the relics from the Garden of Eden. I un- derstand there are a number of them here, and I should like to see them very much.” The doorkeeper did not know whether she wished to see the traditional fig leaves | or the core of the apple which Adam is re- | lated to have eaten with such dire results | to the human race, but told her very frank- ly that the institution was not possessed of such treasures. The lady seemed sur- prised and stated that she had been in- formed correctly, she thought, that the relics were there. With an air of disap- pointment she went inside to see what else she could unearth. One day recently another lady asked a doorkeeper where the bottles containing | the elements of the universe were located. | In spite of his experience in such things the doorkeeper was rather nonplused and | shook his head. ‘“‘Why, I was told that they were here, | and was also informed that they were kept in bottles for inspection,’’ the lady said. “The only elements of the universe that I know of,” the doorkeeper replied, ‘‘are whisky, air and water, and they are com- mon most everywhere, 1 believe, madam. Further than these I know of none.’’— Washington Star. Field Sports In Shakespeare. When I began to collect and arrange the allusions to field sports and to horses scat- tered throughout the writings of Shakes- peare, nothing was further from my mind than to enter the field of criticism. But as my work progressed I discerned more and more clearly the true natureof these allusions, how they for the most part well up spontaneously as from the poet’s in- most soul, and are seldom suggested by the plot or character in hand #t the mo- ment, with which indeed they are often out of keeping. And according as I be- came better acquainted with the works of his contemporaries it was mere and more evident that thés peculiar mode of thought does not happen to be shared by other dramatic writers of his age. Thus the thought was suggested that the presence or absence of this distinctive note might be of some aid in distinguishing the work: manship of Shakespeare frem that of cer- tain other dramatists with whom Shakes- pearean criticism is mainly concerned. From the admitted writings of Shakes- peare it is never wholly:absent. In the admitted werks of Fletcher, Greene, Kyd or Marlowe, or in certain of the anony- mous plays attributed to Shakespeare, it is never found.—*A Study of Shakespeare and of Elizabethan Sports,’’ Right Hon D. H. Madden. The Mighty Cesar. It was om his way to the battlefield of Pharsala that Cesar uttered the famous saying to the fishermen. He had come down to Brindisi to crossto Dyrrachium, and, finding no galley, commanded the owner of a small sailing boat to put him across the Adriatic. On the voyage a vio- lent storm occurred, and even the expe- rienced mariners were terrified, but the great captain said: ‘‘Have no fear! carry Cesar and his fortunes.” Paris consumes 209,000,000 liters of milk a yeafY which comes to about cnly two-fifths of a pint daily for each inhabit- ant.

A little while ago the owner of a large estate in Norfolk caused a quantity of timber to be felled and summoned Davie, the head gamekeeper, to accom- pany him on a tour of inspection, with a View to estimating its market value. Davie had an old time horror of of: fending his master by too great famil- iarity, and as they walked along took great cure to agree with him in every- thing. After two or three trees had been examined the squire, who was at one end, called out to Davie, who was at the other: “*Here’s a fine elm, Davie.”’ Davie looked at the log, meditated a moment and then said apologetically: ‘*Yes, sir; certainly, sir. But it’s an ash down this end, sir.*’—Nuggets.
