Poets and novelists alike have given mythical texture and ('olm' to the lotus The elder Dumas spolze of a lotus flow" er "pure white and with petals as deli- cate as fine muslin.“ Nor did the an- cients treat the {matter with more truth. Herodotus spoke of the lotus as of a plant which habitually de- scended below the surface of the w- - terat sunset to return to View only with the reappearance of the sun. The lotus known to modern man goes be- low the surface of the water, like all nymphaeas, when its beauty and its freshness have passed and when the lime has come to ripen its seed pod. Then by the law of life it closes its corolla and goes away from the air and the sunshine down into the water to prepare for the future of its family. It goes at the time when the sun sets, but, it does not reappear. When it goes down as an individual it is gone forever. The petals described by Du- mas as being “as White as the snows of Himalaya” are not pure white, nor can anything be called with justice “as white as the lotus flower,” be- cause a lotus flower may be red or blue as well as white.â€"â€" Harper’s. A Porterhouse Steak. According to the Encyclopaedia Bri- tannica, the word "steak” is apparently derived from Icelandic “steik,' us ed in the same sense as the English word, “which meant properly roasted meat. from steikja. to roastâ€"that is, placed on a stick or peg of wood before the fire (compare Snedish stek; Danish. stek, roast meatl.’ The same authority says: “A ‘porâ€" terhouse’ steak is a choice cut of steak from the loin. so named. apparently, first in New York from a well known ‘porter house’ and eating house where chops, steaks. etc.. and porter or stout were served. at which these steaks were a specialty. “A steak grilled between two other steaks, which are not served after the cooking is finished. is also sometimes called a 'porterbouse’ steak." Not in these days of high cost meat would such :1 practice as the latter be very generally followed. however.â€"â€"Naâ€" tional Provisioner. Lord Brougham’s Dream. Lord Brougham was one of the most stubborn‘bolievers in the “common sense” exnlanation of ghostly appear- ances as dreams. At Edinburgh unl- versity he and an intimate friend dreW up an agreement written with their blood that whichever of them died first should appear to the survivor. Years passed. the friend was in India, and Brougham had almost forgotten his existence. Arriving late one night at an inn in Sweden. Brougham had a hot bath, and was going to get out of it when he looked toward the chair on which he had left his clothes and saw his friend sitting on it. Brougham seems then to have fainted. On get- ting home he received a letter an- nouncing that the other had died in India at the very time. Yet this incl- dent, which most people would put down to telepathy. at least was dis- missed by Brougham as a mere dream and pure coincidence. A Rogue Elephant. In “Big Game Shooting In Upper Burma” Major Evans tells of a fa- mous rogue elephant that had for some time terrorized the jungle and that had finally been laid low by a bullet from the major’s rifle. The author says: “He measured nine feet seven inches at the shoulders and had but one tusk. That, however, was a beauty and weighed close to forty pounds. The other tusk had been broken off at the root, probably in a fight. 1 took a bunch of maggots as big as a football outof the broken tusk. The poor beast must have endured agonies similar to a toothache. No wonder that he had. turned rogue! I believe that nearly every rogue elephant is suffering from some physical hurt or disease that causes him constant pain and turns him from an inoffensive beast into a savage man hunter.” Wasted Wit. “Crude country, America,” the visit- ing Englishman condescended to say. “As how?” we ventured to ask. “I see by this mawning’s paper that a man was held up and robbed heah. yestehday in broad daylight. 'Such' things nevah could happen in London.” “Nvo, of course not.

The Iron Glove. 'A refinement of cruelty is the torture of the “iron glove.” as it is called, which used to be éommon in Morocco. ’A lump of quicklime is placedina man’s hand. which is closed up into a fist. Then the fist is tightly bound with leather thongs and plunged into a tub of cold water. The agony soon becomes extreme. The torture is con- tinued for eight or ten days, until in the end mortification ensues and prob- ably death. “It doesn’t flatter me,” said the cyn- ical statesman, “but it encourages me.

Lady Catherine Wyndham, daughter of the Duke of Somerset wife of Mr. William Wyndham and mother of the first Earl of Egremont, died (as was supposed) at Orchard Wyndhams, the family seat in Somersetshire, and was buried in a vault beneath the Church of St. Decuman’s, near Watchet. The sexton went down into the vault at night, opened the coflin and endeavored to force a ring at her finger. Lady, Catherine awoke from her trance, got up and lighted herself home with a lantern which the sexton had left he- hind in the vault when he fled in ten- ror. A few months after she presented her husband with twins, one of whom became Sir Charles Wyndham and Earl of Egremontâ€"London Truth. 1.111 \Vheat; ......... Sp; ing \Vheat ...... Turkeys ..........
