AN ENORMOUS PLANT.
Tho largest plant in the world, says
a great naturalist, is a gigantic sea-
weed, known as the nereocy'stis,
which frequently grows to a height
of 700 feet. The stem of the plant
is as strong as an ordinary rope and
large quantities of it are dried and
used as ropes by the inhabitants of
the South Sea Islatnds, where this
curious vegetable growth is found.
The plant grows at a depth of from
two hundred to three hundred feet,
and as soon as it mires root a spear
steeped balloon or bladder is formed.
w•ltioi, grows with the stem toward
111e surface of the water. It keeps
growing until it floats on top of the
water. This enormous weed grows in
such quentities that large islands of
vegetation are sometimes formed,
which, flouting away as they occas-
ionally do, are a menace to naviga-
tion. This would read like a fairy
story if we did not know that down
on the St. Johns river in Florida the
water hyacinth, a harmless little
plant at the north, grows so luxuri-
antly that it chokes the channel of
the river.

A PET OSTRICH.
CHILDREN, AND TITh MOON,
To be born on the first day of n new
moon means that the child will have a
happy life and be rich.
.A child bore on the second day will
grow apace, and it is also luoky 0n
this day to sow seeds.
A child born on the third day, will
baro but a short life.
Never begin any work on the third
day, it is not lucky.
The fourth day is also bad, and it Is
said that anyone falling 111 on this day,
rarely recovers.
The f:1111 day is sold to be favorable
to begin any work, although a child
born on this day will be deceitful and
proud.
The sixth day, it is said, is unlucky
to the child burn on It, as its life will
be short.
The seventh day means that a child
born will live long, but have many
troubles.
The eighth day is a very prosperous
One.
The ninth day promises that a child
born shall have riches and honors.
A child born on the tenth day 'will
live long and be a great traveler.
The eleventh day is a lucky day to
be wearied or take a journey.
A child born at the eleventh day of
iho moon will be healthy and harid-
some, and if a girl, will be remarkable
for wisdom.
A child born at the twelfth day of
Lite moon will meet wits every affec-
tion, but have a bad temper. it Is an

EFFECTUAL POULTICES,
Poultices are valuable aids, not so

retain the heat for a long time. There
is w right and a wrong way of mak-
ing a poultice. Beat and moisture are
the two requisites. Whatever be used -
whether flaxseed, oatmeal, or what -
it should bo cooked well with water,
and if it bo soft some thickening sub-
sbances may be added. It should be
spread on a piece of linen, and not too

en inch thick. Cheese -cloth, muslin, or
other eubstancas, hold a potilLlc,bet-
