Saving the Situation ‘HE manager of a New York theatre tells of the quickness of thought of a certain actor. The play being produced was a good, old-fashioned melodrama, with a snow-storm in the second act. The first act was a drawing-room. In this scene the hard-hearted parent orders his daughter from his house, and, as she remains, imploring his for- giveness, he pulls the bell-cord for a servant, that she may be removed by force. All went well until this point was reached. Unluckily, however, instead of pulling the bell- cord, he caught the one which opened the snow- box, and instantly the large white flakes filled the air and covered the carpet and furniture. “Bah! I have opened the skylight!” the actor said, with well-simulated disgust, and gave the proper cord an angry jerk.—Lippincott. LANT memory is a problem for the inquisi- tive botanist, says the Dundee Advertiser. In 1901 a plant allied to the squash and pumpkin was taken to New York from the desert of Sonora, in Mexico, and since then it has been kept—without watering—in a strange climate three thousand six hundred miles from home. During the six weeks of rain in the desert the plant grows its leaves and flowers and perfects its seed. Then it dries up, and leaves only a water-filled gourd, which a thick, hard shell seals against animals and evaporation. The trans- planted specimen still remembers the rainy f si It wakes, sends out rootlets, stems and then dries up again until the fol- lowing year.—New York Tribune. son HAT is asserted to be the only automobile house in the country is now in Chicago. It has a parlor, bedroom and kitchen, a hot-water heating system and a gasoline range, along with all the other comforts of home. It is propelled by 2 three-cylinder gasotine motor, set in motion by levers, so that all the owner has to do when he is tired of one set of scenery, climate or neighbor- hood is to place himself in an easy chair in his parlor, turn on a lever and start for pastures new. —The News. ~HINCKEL & WINCKLER Frankfurt a/Main Finest Rhine and Moselle Wines Grand Prize St. Louis 1904 Send for Catalogue of Specialties C.
