But it muet be owned that tbero ib too much truth in it. Woman's inhu manity to mas ia a good deal in evidence. The late Senator Morton, ot Indiana, wa6, it will ba remembered, an invalid and a cripple. He came into a company at the capital one day in a state of great indignation because, in a street car crowded with young women, not one had offered him a seat, and ho bad been compelled to make the journey pain fully and precariously supproted upon his crutches. The like of this may very often be seen. Humanity, considera tion for weakness and belpleesneEs, is the root of which chivalry is a tine flower. It iB a startling proposition that man's inhumanity to man is Iobs than woman's, but the time seems to give it some proof. At any rate, a man evidently disabled would not be al lowed to stand in a public conveyance in which able-bodied men wore seated, even in the most unchivalrous part of our country, which I havo given some reasons for believing to be the city of New York. And, if that bo true, it seems that the assumption of the right of' an able-bodied woman to remain seated while a disabled man is standing iB an asaump'ion that the claims of chivalry are superior to those cf hu manity. On the other band, it may fairly be said that the selfishness ot -women with regard to the wayfaring man Ib more thoughtless and perfucc tory than the selfishness of men with regard to the wayfaring woman. In this country, at least, this latter is iu all cases felt to bo a violation of prop erty and decency. The native Ameri can feels himself to be both on bis defence and without defence, when be ib arraigned for 't. Prom "'lho Point of View," in the July Scribner's. The Life riant of Guadeloupe. There Is a strange wild plant In Guadeloupe called the "life plant." If a leaf be broken off and pinned by the stem to the wall of a warm room each of the angles between the curves of the leaf margin soon throws out a number of very white tentacles or roots and soon a tiny now plant begins to sprout, and In the course of a week or two attains a height of two or three Inches. When tho old leaf shrivels the new plant is cut off and planted. When carefully cultivated tho life plant pro duces curious red and yellow blos soms. Whilo tho plant Is native otily in a warm country, there Is no doubt that it could bo successfully grown In any greenhouse, and as a plant freak it certainly Is as Interesting as the everlasting plant of Mexico. THE NUTMEG TREE. How tho Fruit Crmu anil Ih Propiiro.l for I7nt. The nutmeg tree is largely cultivat ed in the Banda lblos. Java. Sutmur.i and Bengal. It is an evergreen, and usually grows to a height of about 2j feet. The leaves resemble those of the laurel and are very aromatic; the flowers are white and from two to three grow on a peduncle. The nutmef grows from a reddish knob In the center of the flower. When matured thr fruit Is about the size at an apricot and looks very much like a peach; I1 has a longitudinal groove on one side and when ripe bursts Into two pieces thus exposing the inclosed seed cov ered by what Is known to commerce as mace. The seed Itself has a thlc.i hard shell, and inside of the shell It found the nutmeg proper. Much can is used in drying tho seed, and the are not broken until the nutmeg In side are loose enough tc rattle. Ti preserve the nutmeg3 from lnsectt they are soaked In sea water and lime Nutmeg trees begin to hear fruit whei about eight years old, and continue tc bear all Vfct yar round for sixty oi more years. Fenang nutmegs are tin best; iiey are about an Inch in lengi' of a pale brown color externally, a:a Internally they are gray and have roil veins. UMBRELLAS TO LET. IIunIiiiC Ought to Hit it (IixmI Oiiu In Shopping OlHtrli-t. Even on ilieso spring days, when I; is bound to rain before the sun sets, some people with new hats will start out without an umbrella, says tho New York Herald. What to do when the shower comes Is then a question. If you chanco to he where you can bor row or buy an umbrella, you are lucky and stand some chance of preserving hat and gown for another occasion. Coming In on a suburban train the other day I was in this preu.camcnt and hardly knew what to do. Imagine my surprise and delight, then, on pass ing through the station, to sec a sign. "Umbrellas to Let," and I cheerfully paid the rentnl and reached home with out damage. This enterprising station oiliclal makes good profits on his in vestment in umbrellas and scarcely ever loses one, as his customers ate largely those who make dally trips to and fro. Similar bureaus might be es tablished with profit in the shopping districts, and the surprlso Is that it U not more generally a custom. I don't remember ever to have had fuch an op portunity elsewhere. TO MOUNTAIN VIEW.OKLiHOMA And return, one fare, plus $2.00. Tickets will be sold June G, 1899, good to return untilJune27.

P. & T. A., Chicago. A Fulthful FrluuU. A touching little "dog story" cornea to us from tho Austrian Tyrol. One afternoon, a few days ago, two farm ers heard a peculiar bark which seemed to como out of a deep abyss near a neighboring Alpine hut. After awhile, as the whlno continued, tho men fol lowed the sound and climbed down to the place whence it came. Hero, to their distress, they found the corpse of an innkeeper near by, who had evi dently been killed by a fall. By the side of his dead master sat a little dog For thirty hours It had kept Its watch and its plaintiff whines only ceased whon the man's hotly was taken up am! carried home. Westminster Gazette.

Foxes may or may not enjoy a run before hounds, but there Ib one thing thoy enjoy that may not be generally known, and that is a sun bath. While It Is true that one rarely overtakes a fox asleep by the wayside, neverthe less it is a matter of fact that foxes are very fond of taking naps In tho open in tho daytime. Hoynard iu no house bird. Ho loves tho open air and tho freedom of the fields. Whenever ho Is caught taking a fitful day nap, ho Is usually found reclining at full length on the warm flat faco of a sunny rock in an old pasture, remote from human habitations, or curled on tho ground in a round, clear opening among clumps ot bushes. But he is an extromely light sleeper, and at the rustle of a twig or the almost noiseless footfall of an in truder, or tho faraway note of an on coming pack, ho is awako instantly and up and away with the soundless celer ity of a retreating specter. Ex. Iiiciriililcrsilr. FlrBt Lady -Do yen sco that man over there? Well, I want to tell you about him. IIo'h a most ir.Hiiltin:; creature. I got Into tho electric car tho other day, and he gave mo his seat. After I had been seated, perhaps for a mile or so, ho comes up to mo and says he, "If you aro .-jsted, marm, I think 141 take my seat again." Second Lady Mercy! What did you say? First Lady Say? I said nothing; but I gavo hlni'sucli a look! Second Lady And served him right. The presumption of tho monster. Boston Transcript. "Mamma, what would you do if that big vase in the parlor should got broken?" said Tommy. "I ehould spank whoever did it," said Mrs. Banks, gazing severely at her lit. tie Eon. 'Well, then, you'd better begin to got up our muscle," said Tommy, glee fully, "'Co, papa's broken it.'' -Harper's Bazar. "It's too bad." said little Bessie, "that there isn't another little Peters boy." "They have six,' said her mother. "I should consider that about enough." "Well," said the little girl, "they can all take each other's clothes as they grow up, but there isn't any one to take little Johnnie's, and it seems kind of wasteful.'' Harper's Bazar. The Count (rapturously) Then J mav speak to your father? Tho Heiress Of course. I am no business woman. "There are thousands of unemployed joung women in Boston." "Couldn't they be used for cold stor age purposes?'' ' Don't you think Mr. L?o is quite a lio.,?'' "Woll ho is tho king of beasts, if that's what you mean." He Culld lfn. Oti "l'iml." Fry relates tho following incideut as having taken place on the Kansas filing line: "Gen. Otis came along, and once when the boys had ceased firing for a minute he said: 'Well, boys, how are you coming?' Only a few of tho boys knew him, and one of them said: 'AH right, pard, how's yourself?' Another of the boys that ri6w Gen. Otis told him to shut up, that the man was Gpn Otis. Thft m eral overheard him and said: 'That's all rl?ht; "pard" is as good a3 "gen eral" to-night.' "Kansas City Journal.
