The Acacia Tree. There has just been discovered in the far east a species of the acacia tree which closes its leaves together in coils each day at sunset and curls its twigs to the shape of pigtails. Af ter the tree has settled itself thus for a night’s sleep, if touched the whole thing will flutter as if agitated or im patient at being disturbed. The oftener the foliage is molested, the more violent becomes the shaking of the branches, and at length the tree emits a nauseating odor, which, if in haled for a few moments, causes a violent dizzy headache. It has been named the “angry tree.” Story From Patti. In Syracuse, Adelina Patti told a reporter how she had recently been teaching music to a little American girl. “This little girl,” she said, “is a delight. Her questions and answers are as entertaining as a comedy. The other day, I was explaining to her the meaning of the signs f and ff. ‘F,’ I said, ‘means forte. Now, if f means forte, what does ff mean?’ ‘Eighty,’ said the little girl.” A HEART STORY. Folsom, S. jjak.—In these days when so many sudden deaths are re ported from Heart Failure and vari ous forms of Heart Disease, it will be good news to many to learn that there is a never failing remedy for every form of Heart Trouble. Mrs. H. D. Hyde of this place, was troubled for years with a pain in her heart which distressed her a great deal. She had tried many remedies but had not succeeded in finding any thing that would help her until at last she began a treatment of Dodd’s Kid ney Pills and this very soon relieved her an$ she has not had a single pain or any distress in the region of the heart since. She says: “I cannot say too much praise of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are the greatest heart medicine I have ever used. I was troubled for over three years with a severe pain in my heart, which en tirely disappeared after a short treat ment of Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Love is a double-back action of the skyrocket and the match.

J., Feb. 17,130ft Energy Wasted After Business Hours. A great many people dissipate more energy between the time when they leave their work at night and when . they return to it in the morning than they expend all day in their vocations, though they would be shocked and of fended if anyone were to tell them so. They think that physical dissipa tion is the only method of energy sapping. But men and women of ex emplary moral habits dissipate their vitality in a hundred ways. They in dulge in wrong thinking: they worry; they fret; they fear this, that, and the other imaginary thing; and they carry their business home with them, and work as hard mentally after busi ness hours as during them.—Success. Anecdote of McMahon. The late John MacMahon, of the Trish bar, although a Celt, had a pon derous, heavy style, and no sense of humor. On account of being deaf he agreed, out of policy, with any re marks made by the judge, even though he did not understand what was said. On one occasion he was appearing before a master of the rolls, who thought that MacMahon was ar guing rather elementary law for such a court as his. "You are speaking as If I were a mere typo in the law, Mr. MacMahon,’ said the master of rolls, testily. "Quite so, my lord,” said counsel, airily, proceeding with his ar gument oblivious to and regardless of what the judge had said. HAS A SAY. The School Principal Talks About Food. The Principal of a High School in a flourishing Calif, city says: “For 23 years I worked in the school with only short summer vacations. I formed the habit of eating rapidly, masticated poorly which coupled with my sedentary work led to indigestion, liver trouble, lame back and rheuma tism. “Upon consulting physicians some doped me with drugs, while others prescribed dieting and sometimes 1 got temporary relief, other times not For 12 years I struggled along with this handicap to my work, seldom laid up but often a burden to myself with lameness and rheumatic pains. “Two years ago I met an old friend, a physician who noticed at once my out-of-health condition and who pre* scribed for me an exclusive diet ol Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit. “I followed his instructions and in two months I felt like a new man with no more headaches, rheumatism oi liver trouble and from that time tc , this Grape-Nuts has been my main food for morning and evening meals am stronger and healthier than I have been for years without a trace of the old troubles. “Judging from my present vigorous physical and mental state I tell my people Methuselah may yet have tc take second place among the old men for I feel like I will live a great many more years. “To all this remarkable change in health I am indebted to my wise friend and Grape-Nuts and I hope the Postum Co. will continue to manufac ture this life and health giving food for several centuries yet, until I move to a world where indigestion is un known.” Name given by Postum Co.

Dbexbl Biddle | CHAPTER NINE—Continued Two warm arms were around his neck, a face wet with tears ; nestled for a moment on bis shoul- | der, and she kissed him twice, with i the live kisses that come from the j heart cf a woman whose affection has passed the mysterious border that sep arates friendship from love, “Good-bye. John; God bless you and guard you!” "Good-bye, Jessie; good-bye!” He watched her as she faded away from him and disappeared beyond the vines which shaded the veranda. Under the aiched maples where he had walked with Jessie so many ! times, and down the sandy road where they had loitered in summer days now gone forever, John Burt urged the horse along. It was two miles to Peter Burt's, and he soon reached the gloomy old house. A fig ure stood by the gate. John rode for ward and recopmijed his grandfather. “You did well to come home, my boy,” said the cld man, whose deep, calm voice held an anxious note. "Something has happened, and my soul has been calling you since dusk. Ride to the graveyard and I’ll follow you. It isn't safe to talk here.” In the far co ter of the old grave yard John Burt nitehed his horse and | turned to meet his grandfather. The i old man seated himself on the grave of the pioneer Burt who. two hundred | years before, had dared the dangers | of the wilderness. "Now we can talk.” he said. “Tell me what has happened.” Quickly John Burt related the inci dents of the tragedy. The old man made no sign during the recital, and was silent for min utes after John had ended. "He deserved to die, and it w'as written that he shculd perish by vio lence; but his blood is not on your head," began the old man calmly. •■Murder, in the sight of God, is in the1 panion, the larger of the two rushed in. As the man crossed the threshold the patriarch’s left arm flew out, and the corded fingers gripped the reck less intruder by the throat. The sec ond man hit the old farmer a glancing blowr with the butt end of a revolver. With a catlike movement. Peter Burt wrenched his opponent’s forearm. With a cry of pain the man dropped the weapon to the floor. Before he could guard himself Peter Burt dealt him a hard blow on 'the face, and gripped him by the neck as he reeled against the wall. Holding the two men at arm’s length, Peter cracked their heads to gether, and then dragged them into the room, where the lamplight fell on tneir faces. The protruding tongue and the blood-surged face of the one who had led the charge caused Peter Burt to relax his hold, and the man fell ’limp to the floor. A glance showed that his companion was sense less, and the old man stretched him out on the carpet. Peter Burt produced a coil of rope from a closet, and with the dexterity of a sailor bound the senseless men. He then proceeded to revive them. “I have not gagged you,” said Pe ter Burt, as he stood over them, “for the reason that your cries would bring you no assistance. As soon as convenient, I will give you more com fortable quarters. Now that you are here, you may spend the night with me.” Seating himself at a desk, Peter .Burt wrote two letters, and sealed them. He then opened a huge, iron bound chest, and for half an hour was busy with its contents. When his work was ended, he quitted the room without so much a glance at the silent figures on the floor. John met him at the gateway. “Here are your instructions, John.” he said. ‘ Go to your room and select Ill 77ZE3T KZZ2E TZsZRs \ N J7V 77JZT <^ryz2.v pryrp~ heart—not in the hand. I—I am-” 1 Peter Burt’s voice broke, and a shudder swept over him; but he con trolled himself, and continued: i “My boy. will you take your grand father’s advice?” "I will, grandfather—I will!” re plied John firmly. “It is written In God's word; ‘If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small; for a just man falleth seven times and riseth up again,’ ” said Peter Burt, laying his hand on John’s shoulder, “God has j willed that you shall be His instru ment in great undertakings, and it is decreed that the events of to-day shall not be a stumbling-block to your feet. You are now to go out into the world, and though you may know it ’>ot, God will guide your footsteps. It He folly to imagine that this un- j i provoked quarrel points to your un doing. It is the sign that you are at once to depart from fields you have outgrown, to take up your work in that broader sphere which is waiting you. Something has whispered to me that you should go to California. To day’s event is the sign that you go now. You will start to-night, my boy, | and God will be with ycu. Hush! I hear the hoofs of horses!” The old man jumped to his feet. ■“Officers are coming!” he said in a low voice. “I will meet them. Re main here till I return. Hold that horse by the nose lest he whinny.” As John sprang to the horse's head, the old man vanished in the dark ness. Peter Burt entered the rear door of hi3 house and was in his room when the tramp of steps was heard, fol lowed by loud knocking. The old man waited awhile, as if dressing. He then lighted a lamp and stood in the hallway. The pounding had been re peated at intervals, and gruff voices were heard in impatient conversation. “Who’s there?” demanded the old man. “We are officers of the law. Mr. Burt.” a voice declared. “We are af ; ter John Burt, your grandson, who has killed a man.” “Have you a warrant for his arrest, or a search warrant?” demanded the old man. “Show me one at the win dow and I will open the door. If you have none, begone, and let me rest in peace.” A conference followed, and a gruff voice rose in anger. “Let us in, old man,” it thundered. “Warrant or no warrant, let us in. or by God we’ll pound your door down and take you along with your murder in’ grandson!” “Open my door at your peril!” said Peter Burt sternly. “Show' me your authority, and you can enter my hetma This house is my castle, and no man has ever entered it without my consent.” Growling threats, the men retired. In a minute they returned, armed with a log. Used as a battering ram, it was hurled against the heavy oak en door. For a time the stout frame resisted, but with a crash the jamb gave way and the door flew open. With an oath and a call to his com such trifles as you can carry in your saddle-bags.

Stay in his house all day. and start for New Bedford about ten o’clock to-morrow night. You must arrive in New Bedford be fore daybreak, and go to the address on this letter. When you find it show Captain Horton the letter and the ring. He wilP put you on board the Segrcgansett. which sails for the South Pacific in three days from now. This third package you will not ex amine until well at sea. Here is money. Enter the house and make no unnecessary noise. I will saddle your horse and wait at the barn.” The sky was aflame with lightning as John stood once more by the old man’s side. The rumble of thunder told of the near approach of the tem pest. “John.” said Peter Burt as he grasped the boy's hand in his, ‘‘I feel no sorrow save the pain of a tempor ary parting. I shall see you again, my boy; I shall clasp your hand in the vigor of your manhood, when suc cess has crowned your efforts, and when your happiness is complete. Do not write to me or attempt to com municate with me, or with anyone, until you are rich and strong enough to meet your enemies on equal ground. During these coming years let money be your ambition. You live in an age when money is the god of the material world. Understanding has been granted to you. and when you apply yourself to the struggle the thrill of knowledge will pervade you. You have received a ken of this world's affairs,* so that I can say to you in the language of Isaiah: ‘I will give thee the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places.’ Rest secure in that promise, have abiding faith in it, and hold no communication with those who love you until my prophecy has come to pass. Do you promise me, my boy?” “I do, grandfather!” said John, who was deeply affected. “You have been so good-’’ “Never mind, my boy; thank God. not me. Good-bye, John—God bless you! ” The first drops of the storm pat tered on the dusty roadway as the old man raised his hands and gave John his blessing. Springing into the saddle, the boy caught one last glimpse of Peter Burt in a brilliant Rash of lightning which glorified his heroic figure, his white hair shining as a halo above his brow'. It was four o’clock when he halted at a small house on the outskirts of Plymouth. Years before, with Peter Burt, he had visited the old sailor who was spending there his declining years. After repeated knocking, the old man opened the door. John hand ed him the letter and showed the ring. He read the letter and heartily greeted his guest. “Enough said, my boy!” h«N de clared, as he burned the letter. “You'll be as safe here as in God's pocket. Make yourself comfortable and I’ll stow away your horse.” When the cia rrwn returned he pr> pared a breakfast which Jokn ate with relish, and then his host showed him to a bed which, though hard, seemed the most delightful place he had found in years. The sun was low when John woke. The old sailer did not betray the slightest curiosity con cerning John's journey, and at ten o'clock his guest bade him farewell with sincere thanks for his hospital ity. The night ride to New Bedford was made without incident. It was three o’clock when John knocked at Cap tain Horton's door; and, much to his surprise, that gruff old mariner was up and dressed. “Come in! I’ve been expectin’ ye!” he said as he opened the door. “Glad to meet ye. Joe.” he said, turning to a sleepv-eyed boy, “take care of this lad’s horse.” John secured the contents of the saddle-bags, and an hour later stepped on beard the Segregansett. Captain Horton showed him his quarters and advised him to “turn in.” He did so, and wrhen he awoke the heaving and groaning of the old whaler told him that she wras on the open sea. Not until the Segregansett had left the Bermudas did John open the pack age which had been given to him by Peter Burt. It contained a long let ter from the old man. describing a spot in the California mountains, of which a dying sailor had told him years before. The poor fellow de clared that he had found a rick de posit of gold, and that he was work ing his way back to Boston, hoping to interest the necessary capital. In Peter Burt’s letter was enclosed a rough map which the sailor had i sketched when he realized that death stood in the way of his dreams of! wealth. There was also a parcel with an ! outer covering of oilskin. John 1 unwrapped it and disclosed a large, j old-fashioned wallet, which he recog nized as having belonged to his grand-j father. In this wallet he found a layer of United States Treasury notes of large denominations. His fingers tingled as he handled the notes. Ten thousand dollars! Jessie seemed much nearer as John looked at those bits of paper. The scenes and incidents of that eighteen thousand mile journey around Cape Horn are worthy of ex tended recital, but are not an essen tial part of this narrative. One bright afternoon the Segregansett sailed into the harbor of Valparaiso, and a week later John Burt was a passen ger on the steamer Reliance, bound for San Francisco. A thousand leagues away, Jessie Carden treasured the secret of a sen sation strangely akin to new-born love. On the walls of her class-room was a large map, and she loved to look at it and wonder what spot ol land cr sea held John Burt. (To b continued.) NEVER LOSE THEIR NERVE. Popular Impression About Railroae Engineers Corrected. “Speaking of railroad wrecks,” said the commercial traveler in the smok ing compartment of the Pullman car "^ny observation leads me to believe they are due to the fact that the nerves of the engineers are broughl to such a high tension after a numbei of bad accidents that they lose con trol of themselves.” "That's just where you are wrong,” quietly said a gray-haired man with s tanned, weather-beaten face, who sal near the window smoking a cigar. "! think you will all credit me with knowing what I am talking about, as 1 have been a railroad engineer for the last thirty years, have run all kinds of engines, from a mine dummy to a hundred-ton passenger engine with a seven-foot wheel, and have railroaded on all the principal lines in the United States. “The majority of people seem tc have the idea that the engineer of a fast train is always in fear of run-ins and collisions, and that he is untfei such a nervous strain that he some times has to be lifted from the cat when he reaches the end of his run That isn’t so. An enginer has toe many duties, such as watching his signals, keeping water in his boiler, and seeing that he is on schedule time, to have much time to worry him self about accidents that are likely to happen. As long as he pays the prop er attention to his own train he knows that is all he can do, and that if anything goes wrong it is beyond his control. So he doesn’t take up any of his time worrying. Accidents will happen, no matter how much care is taken to prevent them, and some times there can’t be found any reason for them, but you may be sure that they are never caused through the en gineer losing his nerve.” An Unkind Question. It was shortly after the house com mittee of the Democratic club promul gated a resolution that evening dress should be worn byv members and visi tors who dined or paid evening visits to the club, that Tom Dunn, the for mer sheriff, fell into a library arm chair one night. Mr. Dunn’s own garb would have passed muster at Marlborough House so he looked around upon the throng in confidence and content. There came a certain man of busi ness to the club that night who wore an evening suit which was well-fitting expensive, and correct in detail. But he did not look comfortable Pride kept him quiet for a few mo ments, at the end of which pride caused him to ask: “How do you like it. Tom?” “It’s immense.” said Dunn: “why don’t you buy it.'”—New York Tele graph. Uncle Sam as Foster Mother.

There is a new way to care for ferns that has been found very suc cessful. Once a week they must have a Turkish bath. Put them in the bathroom, shut the windows and doors to exclude every particle of air. Then fill the bathtub with scalding water and allow the plants to steam for three or four hours. The room should be gradually cooled before the plants are removed to a cooler atmosphere. This process does away entirely with the laborious wrork of washing and spraying the leaves and is much more satisfactory. Pineapple Snow. Soak half a box of gelatin in a tea cup of cold water for an hour. Grate a small pineapple and stir in a cup ful of granulated sugar. When this is dissolved stir in the gelatin. Turn in to a double boiler the water outside, already hot, and stir until sugar and gelatin, are altogether dissolved. Take from stove and allow the mixture to .get cool, but not too stiff to whip in the whites of five eggs that have been | beaten very stiff. -Beat all until it is i well mixed. Put in glass dish and leave on the ice for several hours. Serve with whipped cream. Grape Juice Sponge. Dissolve a scant three-fourths cup ful of sugar in one cup of grape juice with the juice of one lemon; strain and add lialf an ounce of gelatin which has been dissolved in one fourth a cupful of water. Set the dish in ice water, stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, then beat in gradually the whites of two eggs beaten dry, and whip the mixture till very light. Turn in a mold, or pour lightly into a glass dish to thoroughly chill. Serve with whipped cream. ^iUben5^ If lard is ruobed over every part of a new tin it will remain bright and free from dust for an indefinite time.

Soot may be removed from the chimney by burning a piece of zinc in the 6tove. Boil three or four onions in a pint of water, apply with a soft brush to gilt frames, and flies will keep off. To avoid unpleasant odors from the sink keep on hand a gallon of water in which a pound of copperas has been boiled and at intervals clean with this. Do not use soap in washing a stain ed or painted floor; use clear water in which a little borax has been dis solved. To clean cut glass wash articles, let dry and afterward rub them with prepared chalk and a soft brush, carefully going into all the cavities. —Chicago American. Bouquet Centerpiece. An especially pretty idea for the ar rangement of flowers at a little dinner is that of the boutonniere centerpiece, to which many of the new low dishes lend themselves especially well, says the Atlanta Journal.

Made stitT, it neither dips front or back, and is straight all round and fastens with straps. It is not half so pretty as the crushed leather, as soft as satin, sparkling with a good harness buckle. All kinds of leather have been pressed into the service, and some of them have the natural hair left on them, such as calf skin. An all round belt is never so becoming as those with a slight dip. A stock or necktie of some sort should match the color of the belt. For a White Frock. In the way o* an easily made trim ming for a dancing frock of white point d’esprit or mousseline is thq shirring of a white ribbon, louisine or satin, through the middle, the ribbon not to be over half an inch wide, and using It to festoon the bottom of very wide fold tucks or sew on the edg® of three or more flounces upon a skirt. When making a curry of cooked meat all browned spots should be re moved. If you wish a cake to be light put it into a very hot oven at first and let the oven cool after the first twenty minutes. When bluing clothes tie the blue into a piece of flannel and you will avoid unsightly blotches of the ccior on your clothes. Before frying fish wipe it with a damp cloth, next dust it thickly with dry flour and then dip into egg and bread crumbs. When stewing fruit add the sugar after the fruit is eooked, but while it is still hot. In this way a smaller quantity of sugar is needed. After washing lace ties, etc., rinse them in milk instead of starching them. Let the lace dry, then damp and iron and you will find it looking quite new again. Wet umbrellas should be stood on their handles to dry. This allows the water to run out of them Instead of into the part where the ribs and the silk meet, thus causing the metal to rust and the silk to rot. -— For Brunettes. A combination most becoming to brunettes is the blending of pale pink and red. The pink is used for the foundation of the frock in some soft or gauzy fabric, with a garniture of cherry colored poppy, or even crim son velvet. Occasionally this order is reversed, and a red gown is decor ated with flowers or ribbons in pale pink, but the result in this case is not so satisfactory.
