'% The clove tree is a native of the Mo­ lucca Islands and belongs for'the far- spread family of niyiiles. lt is a tall, very handsome, evergreen, with ovate, oblong leaves and purplislf flowers, ar­ ranged in corymbs on short, jointed, stalks/ The flowers are produced in great profusion, and when they appear, which is at the beginning of the raiuy season, they are in the form of elon­ gated. greenish buds. These unexpand- ed buds are the cloves of commerce, which derive their name from the Spanish word clavo, "a nail," so called from the real or fancied resemblance of the bud to a nail. Sometimes the clove fruit appears in commerce in a dried state, under the name of "mother cloves." It has an odor and flavor similar to cloves, but is much weaker. The flower buds are beaten from the tree and are dried by the smoke of wood tires and afterward by the sun. If the buds remain on tlie trees the ealices gradually swell, the embryo seeds enlarge and the pungent proper­ ties of the cloves are to a great degree dissipated. Cloves consist of two parts, a round head, which is, in fact, the flower rolled up. enclosing a number of small fila­ ments. and the four points that sur­ round the flower and form the flower cup of the unripe seed vessel. When tliey are soaked for a short time in hot water (lie flowers soften and readily unroll, so that all of the parts may be seen. The entire clove tree is highly aro­ matic, and the footstalks of the leaves have nearly the same pungent quality as the calyx of the flower.

A cable dispatch says that Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, will short­ ly announce the betrothal of the Arch­ duchess Elizabeth, his little grand- f o A l n l m n o « V T T T * v . t » - » -- T l a y of Spain. - ' ' The Archduchess Elizabeth seems to have been born to trouble. Her little life has been often clouded. Tragedy has chased scandal and scandal trag­ edy. Her father was the Crown Prince Budolpli, whose tragic death, murder or suicide, at Meyerling, after a life of escapades, was one of the most extraor­ dinary stories of his generation. Her mother, the Crown Princess Stephanie, is the daughter of the King of Belgium, a woman erratic as the wind, whose acts have frequently given rise to scan­ dals, and who has never shown a inotn- er's love for her child. Were it not for the affection of the aged Emperor, who has been not only a father but a com­ panion and playfellow of the little heir­ ess to his throne, her life would have been far from happy. But the Empe­ ror and to a less extent the Empress, have played the parts of father and mother and shielded her to the best of their ability. She was born--the child of a loveless marriage--on Sept. 2, 1883, and was named Elizabeth Marie Henriette Ste­ phanie Gisela. She took her first com­ munion when 12 years old in the chapel of the Imperial Pa*ace at Vienna. At the conclusion of the ceremony she gave her mother the cut direct, and walking up to the old Emperor, of whom sin Was passionately fond, was clasped in .his arms and covered with affectionate kisses. The Austrians and Hungarians, both of whom were very fond of good-na­ tured but profligate Rudolph, "Unser Rudi," as they called him, gave his place in their hearts to Elizabeth, whom they called "Our Little Lady." By Rudolph's will she was made the ward of her grandparents, and nobody was surprised or displeased, unless it was Stephanie herself, who never show­ ed any signs of anger at this post-mor­ tem evidence of the Crown Prince's sen­ timents regarding his wife. Should she become the consort of the youthful King of Spain, who is three years her junior, she will likely And more trouble awaiting her in trying to rest easy upon that tottering throne;-- New York World. Condition of the Lobby. What more particularly attracts the attention of the stranger when visiting the Capitol is the decayed, worn-out and unclean appearance of the lobby of the House, and the shoddy furniture that is supposed to decorate it, says the Washington Times. The walls are begrimed, the gilding is turning black, and the frescoing, which at one time was a "thing of beauty," now falls far short of being a "joy forever." The cheap woodwork of the furniture, the shoddy red plush that covers it, and the badly displayed portraits of some equally bad statesmeivihe emanations of inferior artists, Create the impres­ sion that the lobby is a weak imitation of a hotel corridor, instead of a loung­ ing place for the law-makers of the nation. were very much smaller than the horses of to-day. The remains were found in the gravel underlying a bog. The Western Union Telegraph Com­ pany has recently Worked direct, as it is called, from -New York to Mexico City, a distance of 3,41K) miles. This means that a message was sent this great distance without repetition. The oscillations of a needle, suspend­ ed from the apex of the dome of the national capitol, made by the contrac­ tion due to heat on the iron structure, made a regular series of tracings on pa­ per, varying with the temperature iu breadth. The European hornet is shown by Dr. L. O. Howard to have existed near New York City for at least fifty years, yet it has spread 150 miles. In Europe the species usually inhabits outhouses, but in America the nests are almost in­ variably built in hollow trees. The wings of birds "are not only to aid locomotion in the air, but also on the ground and water. One bird even has claws in the "elbows" of its wings to aid it in climbing. The clothing is a modification of the skin, just as hair and nails are, and sometimes it closely resembles hair. J. Carter Beard shows how, by draw ing an imaginary line from the heel through the ear, the characteristic atti tudes of various mammals may be il lustrated. Man alone habitually stands erect, with his head toward the zenith The exact antithesis of man in this re spect is the bat, which, when at rest habitually remains suspended in a ver tical direction, with the head toward the center of the earth. Between these two extremes all the other mammals are ranged, apes and monkeys ap proaching nearest to man, moles being horizontal, and sloths approaching the reversed position of the bat. Off the coast of Norway last year was captured a specimen of the shark tribe which, in the form of its teeth, and in other characteristic features, closely resembles a species of shark that in­ habited the ocean in that immeasurably remote period called in geology the De vonian age. A similar shark was cap­ tured by the Prince of Monaco's yacht off the Maderia Islands in 1889. These two specimens, with a few others found in the Japanese seas--which are re markable for the number of survivals of ancient forms of life that they con­ tain--constitute the only known repre­ sentatives now on the earth of the De­ vonian sharks. Hoodooed by a Black Hen. "There goes my Jonah," said Capt. Cardwell, the L. & N. conductor, one day as the O. & N. passenger train was entering the j*ards at Central City. When asked what he referred tQ, the popular old railroader said: "I mean that old black hen you saw- fly across the track in front of the en­ gine back in the edge of town. She is a bird of ill omen if ever there was one, and every time she flies across this track in front of my train I have bad luck be'fore I finish my trip. "I first notieed the hen about three years ago on the trip over from Rus- 6ellville to Owensboro, and we struck Leather Coats. Leather coats are made of sheepskin of borsehide and of dogskin. They are lined with corduroy, with flannel and with sheep's wool. The corduroy-lined coats are made reversible, so that they may be worn either side out. The coats of sheepskin are usually finished black, the horsehide and dogskin coats russet colored. A leather coat of sheepskin corduroy, lined, costs about $5; horse- hide coats sell for .$12 to $13, and dog­ skin coats for $18. Leather coats are worn in the West by truckmen and policemen and hunt­ ers and lumbermen. The leather coat is serviceable and warm, without great bulk. The duck shooter, lying, per­ haps, for hours in a battery waiting, keeps warm in a leather coat. The sportsman after big game wears a leather coat. It keeps the wearer warm without impeding his movements. A leather coat is sometimes worn un­ der another coat for the sake of its warmth, as, perhaps, by a policeman. And the leather coat may be worn with the corduroy side out, so that more leather coats are worn here in cities than might be supposed. A CHEERFUL WOMAN. From the Democrat, BFatit lna. Every woman cannot be beautiful; but a cheerful face often supplies the defi­ ciency. But no one can be cheerful and bring joy to others unless they have per­ fect health. Fortunately, science has placed this priceless boon within the reach of every woman, as the following incident proves: . Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife of Will­ iam Robinson, farmer and stockman, near Howesville, Clay County, Ind., is 32 years old and had for several years been in declining health and. despondent. For three months die was not only unable to attend to her domestic duties but too feeble to be up and about. To-day she is in good health and able to attend to her household affairs. She relates her experi­ ence as follows: "I was afflicted with female troubles and was in a delicate state of health. I lost my appetite, grew thin and was great­ ly depressed. After taking various reme­ dies without being benefited I was in­ duced by a friend to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "Early in the summer of 1897 I procured five b o x e s o f them and be­ fore finish- / ing the sec-„ ond box 1""^ began to im- prove and by the time I had taken the five box­ es I was able T> to- go aboutA Priceless BOOK my usual work and stopped taking the pills. "Our daughter Anna, 12 years old. was also afflicted with decline and debility. She lost flesh, seemed to be bloodless and had no ambition. She took two boxes of the pills and they restored her appetite, aided digestion and brought color to her cheeks. She is now in the best of health. I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People the best medicine we ever had in our family,and recommend them to all needing a remedy for toning up and re­ building a shattered system." Dotted Veil House. A doctor has moved into a now house, one of the finest in Washington. He calls it the dotted veil house. When people seem surprised he explains. This physician is a specialist. He de­ votes himself to diseases of the eye. The money to build the mansion was accumulated from fees which were earned in the treatment of eyes injur­ ed by the wearing of dotted veils.

'Ihe- New-Ballet.;".- The British Govfeynment is consid­ ering the adoption of a new bullet in­ vented by a Birmingham firm. This bullet, is of lead, and, ̂ Instead of hav­ ing a conical top, is level-topped, with a cup-like cavity, carrying the expan­ sive principle to its greatest ^extent. Upon entering the tlesli the front of the bullet acts like ;a punch, cutting out a clear round hole, which does n,ot close up. Expansion commences immediate­ ly, and after the bullet has traveled six inches it produces a jagged hole from three to four inches in diameter. Whether the Government will adopt this new invention remains to be seen, but if it does it wil be one of the niost terrible wound-producing bullets with which the British military could be armed. .
