It is a round black nat on which ail the parts of a man's head may be seen-- mouth, nose, eyebrows, eyes, hair and whiskers--before it was formed from Adam's clay. | A wonderful sight! From the same clay God created also the wakwak, found in India, the fruit of which resembles a man's bead, which, shaken by the wind, emits thé sound of wakwak. sadlinally was created also the palm from the remainder of Adam's at Kufa, near the water Tinnoor. i% 4s sald to be the reason why the iii trees of"Kufa, Medain and Om- jutk are straight and upright, like jiture of a man.

Things werd made so unpleas- | ant for him he was not seen in the House lof Lords for many years, and when Ye did make his appearance a | couple 'off years ago to vote on a divi- | sion of great importance to his class he was shunned by every one. A great English landlord, Lord Bt. | Aldwyn, who is better iy by his | former title' of Sir Michael Hicks- ach, even went so far in a debate | as to declare that Clanricarde"s vote | in favor of a measure was equal to ! half a dozen votes against it, and to | denounce him as a disgrace to land- lordism, Tr Clanricarde has not been in Ireland for at Jeast thirty years, and probably i for a good deal longer. He had not | even the courage to face his tenants, | but left that dangerous work to his agents, and more than one resigned rather than carry out his orders. He lived alone in London, occupy- ing a little flat in Piccadilly, amusing | himself by collecting pictures and antigwes. , Although a wealthy man, | he probably spends less on himsell | than most clerks, and few of the peo- | ple who meet the queer old man in the | garb of nearly a century ago walking | along' Piccadilly every fine morning; | realize this is the. man whose fame as the worst landlord even Ireland ever | produced is known te orld. | - The pity of it t Clanricatda Ta the last of a race that has been great | } | of whose members really served their | country.

His aon 1 became Earl of Ulster, and' fot | erations later the present title w created. Other branches of the family are the Earls of Mayo and Viscous |. of Galway. There isn't any doubt that Lord Clanricarde has made up his mind to | sell his estates because he sees that Home Rule is inevitable, and knows he will receive much less considera- tion from an Irish executive than he | will in. making a bargain with the | congested districts commissioners, to | whom he has signified his willingness | to consider a fair offer.

Curious Instance of Telepathy Dp« Ne! scribed by John Muir, John Muir, in his book, "My First Summer in the Sierras," relates a tu. rious instance of telepathy. He spent the summer of 1869 in the beautiful dey r wilderness around the Yosemite valley. Ome day he was busily sketching on the North Dome, when suddenly be became possessed with the notion t his friend Professor. J. D. Butler of the University of Wisconsin was be- 1ow Him in the'valley. He jumped up, | full of the idea of meeting him, being almost as much startled gas if some one bad unexpectedly touched him and made him look-up. Instantly he went running down the slope and along the brink of the valley, looking for a way to the bottom, feeling drawn irresisti- bly. 3 Gradually his common sense con- vinced him that he could not possibly reach the hotel until after everybody would be asleep for the night. He | therefore compelled Mmself to stop, ! but the next day he went into the valley and found that' Professor But. | ler had arrivéd the evening before, unex by anybody. He had been four or five miles distant at the mo- ment when Mr. Muir was so suddenly apprised of his presence. "He had just entered the valley by way of the Coulterville trail" says the author, "and was coming past El Capitan when his presence struck me. Had be then looked toward the North | Dome with a good glass he might have seen me jump up from my work and | ran toward him. This seems the one well defined marvel of my life of the kind called supergatural." oy oy RESURRECTION PLANT. It Comes to Life, After Drying Up, if Plunged Into Water. One of the most extraordinary plants the world is undoubtedly that known to botanists as Anastatica, com- monly called the Resurrection plant or occasionally the Rose of Jericho.

When removed from the wa ter the plant returns to its original apparently dead condition until again placed in water; hence, its titie of the | Resurrection plant. There are many superstitious tales concerning this so called rose afloat in the east.
