Thn wife of a westorn Republican senator
fiys that when sho was a huiall girl sho used
to bear l craged grandmother t dl; of dishes
that were peculiar to Virginia, her grand
mother having gone west from that state.
Tlio senators wifo bad almost forgotten
these dishes, but on coming to Washington
to live sho emploj-ed a negro woman as her
cook, and it was not long t;fore "old aunty"
was placing lie fore her s-omo of the dishes
nh' had heard her grandmother speak of.
"Old aunty'' has succeeded in changing com
pletely tho diet of her western employers, and
they nre ro fond of the now way of eating
tilings, fo fr as they ara concerned, that
they prefer it to the western.
This is tho bright sido of tho culinary ques
tion in Washington. Some people have no
end of trouble, especially those who happen
to engage a restless, impudent and worthless
young lilac!; woman, who Ins at t imes had
her own way and literally bossed tho people
who hired her. They have this kind in Wash
ington ns treasures, and unhappy is tho lot
f tho family who has an experience with
cooks of this description. Ono good" house
wife, it bout six months ago, lost a valuable
cok who bad lieen iu her employ for main
years, and sho bad a tormenting esjcrieiioo
befuroshe secured a not her that approached
her After trying a half dozen sho hired ono
d 'y a likely woman who camo well recom
me:i -d and said sho had lieen walking
around for a week looking for a place, nnd
seemed glad to fiu I employment again. Do
ing told that she would be expected to pre
pare a light supp r on Sundays, she indig
nantly replied: "No, indeed, ma'am; you
caul git mo to cook not bin' on Sunday even

Apo, a party of botanical and ethnograph
ic;) 1 explorers found recently, at thu height
ef ,',r,i,lO feet above tho sea level, a colossal
flower The discoverer, Dr. Alexander Seha
doubcrg, could scarcely believe bis eyes when
he saw amid the low growing bushes the Im
mo'.ifo buds of this llower, like gigantic
brow i cabbage heads ilut ho was still more
astonished when bo found a sjecimeu in full
bloom, a five jctaled flower, my fly i yard in
diameter as 'iar&o its u curi-iao wheel, in
fact. This enormous blossom was borne on
a sort of vine creeping 011 the ground. It
was known to the native who accompanied
Dr. Schadenberg, who called it Bo-o. Tho
party had no scale, using their boxes and
s;.-ecimens as weights. Weighing these when
epport unity served, it was found that a single
C iwcr weighed over twenty-two pounds.
It was impossible to transport the fresh
flower, so tho travelers photographed it, and
dried a number of its leaves by the heat of ft
fir?. Dr. Schadenberg then sent tho photo
graphs and dried specimens to the Royal
Botanical Gardens at Breslau, where the
learned director immediately recognized it
C3 a species of rafibysia, a plant formerly dis
covered in Susnata. in4 namod arter tut
English governor, Sir Stamford Raffles.
The new flower was accordingly named Raf
fli?s;a Schadeubergia. The live petals of this
immense flower are oval and creamy white,
and grow around a center, tilled with count
less loiig violet hued stamens, thicker and
longer in tho female, or fertile liower.s, than
in the iufc-rtiloi. The fertilization is 'accom
plished by jniects, whose larva breed in tho
der aying flesh of its thick pctali TUo fertile
flower develops a Bote berrylike fruit, in
which countless seeds are imbedded. The
i'ower exhales a poisonous gas, even when
first opened, which Is- most unpleasant.

"Is this a coon or a fox bunt?" asks a lady
on a spirited little bronco. "I came out
for wildcats."
"Anil you Khali bavo one," said the master
of the bounds, as the bay of ol 1 "Music"
broke the stillness. "If that isn't n cat 1 am
greutly mistaken. Stand back, gentlemen,"
be cried, as a moment later the sounds grew
louder, and then tho whole pack swept by as
if in review by the sweating dialing horses;
away they go, a living whirlwind, the horses
leaping ufter. The plunging, rearing,
scrambling is indescribable. Down the bank,
up the other side, the green bands cursing,
while tho old climbers scramble over and
find themselves in tho thickness of thick ur-
1-03-0 jungles. Shouts come from all about.
Some see the game, and some merely think
they do; but linally, amid u icrfeet pande
monium, comes tho welcome sound, "Treed!
1 ne norses come struggling up, some
without riders and riders without bats.
Some are caught in the briars and seem un
able to get out, but finally the field is
assembled around a big sycamore, about
which tho dogs are grouped, making music.
Some attempt to climb and fall back. Ono
young dog gains ten feet up the slippery
trunk, only to slide down again. What Is it

yes, sixty feet, and there is the object of all
tho work, sjort, early rising and general up
roar the arch chicken thief himself. How
big be looks crouching on a big limb, backed
ngainst tho trunk, looking down at his tor
moutors; his two eyes blazing green and j-el-low,
bis ears twitching nervouslv, and the
short tail moving back and forth, indicative
of rage and fear. Treed surely, but caught ?
JNo, indeexb The chances are that he will
make another treo before the finish.
"Give him a chance to rest," says tho mas
ter of. the bounds, who believes in fair play,
if anything. "He is winded, and so are the
dogs." But the latter do not care to wait.
They sit and look with eager eyes, tongues
banging out, and white, froth flecked teeth,
showing a formidable array for poor puss,
who looks down to almost certain death.
Still, cats nre said to have nine lives, and he
does not propose to give them up so readily.
A CIUCLE AROUND THE TREE.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen," says the
huntsman, "form yourselves in a circle about
tho tree, and give the dogs full play, and
don't sheot; the hounds have worked for tho
cat and they deserve it. Again, it is the
most humane way oMooking nt it; the dogs
will kill the cat sooner than a bullet."
With the little speech delivered for the
lienefit of tho excitable tenderfeet in tho
hunt, the horses are arranged in a big circle
about tho sycamore, and a young man who
wishes to beard the lion in its den crawls
slowly up. As he draws nearer the cat the
hitter looks around iu desperation. The tail
twitches quicker and more nervously; glanc
ing down at the open mouthed dogs, then nt
thu approaching human enemy, the poor ani
mal is evidently considering the chances.
Nearer the clinker comes, until man and oat
gaze into each other's, eyes soaroe three feet
away, for a moment puss hesitates; then,
turning qm'okly, he steadies himself, and
with a mighty spring, is in the air. Down
he goes fifty feet, bounces among tho bush, a
mass of springs, steel and rubber, and is
away. He has landed just beyond the cipolo
and d horse has dashed aside to. let him pass,
followed by the j-ol in full cry. They go
tike a dash of light, a roaring, crashing
sound; a scream and puss is again visible,
perched upon the limb of another big syca
more. The same thing is repeated again and
again, and the ladies repent, and cries of
"Let her go," "Poor puss," are heard among
tho baying of the dogs that are growing
fairly mad with uhappeased ferociousness
Again the young man faces th, cat, this, time
fuily sixty feet frpm, tUa geCiin.d. Surely, 1
ever ap animal had won its liberty, this ono
had. But the game is up; the dogs are
spreading, and as out into the air the cat
leaps, in magnificent form thoy collect.
Down becomes like a gigantic flyinij qqyrrel
wiih legs spread far p.rat, theVoft' cushion
like pads ready, for. a rebound. Like a flash

if HE AGO? IS OYER.
The agony of the cat is over in a second,
but the dogs fight, war and struggle until
each has vented his rage upon the inanimate
skin, that is now borne aloft as a, trr.hy.
Not a few of the dogs but have, not felt' the
sharp teeth aiv eiaws. of he vicious cat that
tips iue. scales, at nxty pounds,
"Well," said a tenderfoot, "for up and
down excitomont that beats anything I ever
saw or heard of. It makes your very hair
stand on end, and I fancy that if the cat
should strike any one during the jump be
would in ail probability go uudsr."
Two other cats wore, r&e$, and' those, with
a cc.en pod a ctoyotepeoistituted the morning's
hunt." Like fishing, wildcat hunting changes.
Sometimes they are plentiful, and again not
one Is seen. In all several hundred of these
mischievous animals have been killed by the
hounds of Mr. Bandini, and the FJW may

"Tlio owl shrieked at thy birth, an ev'l

was to sco tlio throne wrested from himself
and race, big queen and child flying panting
and desolate through the land tho one to
seek a lifelong and unhoiiored exile, the other
an early and unavenged death nt 11 caitiffs

in his own royal palace, which be had known
longer as a prison than n home.'
Again, "the bird of night did sit, even at
noonday, upon the market place, booting
and shrieking; four-and -twenty hours to

gers of friend and foe alike, with bis mautio
over his fuco to bide tho death ugony from
the bowling crowd around. Was Minerva's
bird of wisdom giving a fair and friendly
warning when ho left his day haunt and,
braving all the dangers if a superstition
steejied race, came out to lnxt Ca-snr back
behind his gates, or was bo reveling in the
knowledgo of the great Roman's certain
coining fate?
It is said that whenever a member of the

He spat joison upon those who chanced to
