E. Whiting recalls. in the Boston Herald a yarn he oaice read concerning a still more remarkable vegetable growth. Thus it goes: Sir Joseph Banks, a worthy English baronet who lived a hundred. ,eats ago, had a cask of wine rather too sweet for•imanediate use; he therefore directed that it should be placed in a cellar, in order that bhe saccharine matter it contained• : •;night be more perfectly decomposed by age. At the end of three years he d'ireoted his but- ler to aecertain the state of the wine, when, on btteni ting to open the cel- lar door, he could not effect it, in con- sequence of some powerful obstacle. The door was cut down, and the cellar found to be completely fined with a Arm fungous vegetable production— so rod fiction—so firm that it was necessary tp use the axe for its removal. ' This appear- ed to have grown from, or have been nourished by, tho decomposed par- ticles of the wine; the cask was empty and had been carried up to the ceiling, where it was supported by the surface of the fungus. The terrific consequences to the worthy baronet had he placed this too -sweet wine in himself, rather than in the cellar, are too appalling to cons - template, • IN SPARE TIME M"r um 0O a OM Witt moo Ii I Itw,.L,M,,,,Ilmo0, l F cid T 1 'At 1, na S.

Racine, the French poet, gave up writing for 'the stage while still at the height of his fame, but once more took up his pen at the request of a woman that he would write a -play suitable for performance by the' girls of a school she had founded. Thus, but for Mme. de Maintenon, there would have been no Racing's "Esther." Milton's: "Arcades"' was written at the requese f Lady Derby of Hare- field. Lady Derby was a generous patroness of poets. She was the mother of Lady Bridgewater, whose daughter and two sons, on their return Bram some relations, were benighted in Haywood Forest. Because he had already written the "Arcades," Lord Bridgewater asked him to write a masque, with this adventure as its subject, and Milton wrote his famous. "Comus." One day William'•Cowper was look- ing out of the window of his home at Olney, when he saw two charming ladies enter a shop on the other side of the street. He invited them 'to tea. This was the beginning of an intimate' friendship that lasted three or four years, and if it had ended in the mare riage :of Cowper. with Lady Austin it would probably haee saved the poet much ;misery: One evening Lady Austin called and found the poet very` melancholy.

Sleep for }lours After Going to Bed. "It is not natural for me to sit down and write a letter in praise of a pro- prietary medicine as I had always been skeptical as, to their virtues." Thus writes Mr. Arthur Seguin, Stortle oaks, Sask., who further says:—"But three years ago I opened a general store. here in Storthoai's• and placed on my shelves a few lines of the best known, proprietary medicines. Among these, naturally, were Dr. Williams' Pink Mlle.

"I..had been suffering from catarrh Ice years, and my inside work had completely broken down my health. I was Coughing all day, suffered from indigestion, and could not sleep until three or four hours after retiring. I started the pills, not with any great confidence, but by the time I had finished the se0ond box I marked much improvement. At the fourth box I felt quite recovered, but continued them for some further tithe. My cough has left me, the indigestion has disappear- ed and 5 now fa11 asleep allnost as seep as I am in bed. In my store now I do not hesitate to recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any who are feeling run-down or without energy, as I think they are a blessing to man- kind.

The rough bath towel that brings a healthy glow to the skin was an acci- dental invention. A manufacturer of fine smooth towelling had trouble with his ma- chinery. Inetead of the firmly woven material coming through as usual, the threads were loose and tangled, and, from his point of view, quite unfit for sale. He set to work to readjust matters, and after much: trouble got the a. chine working smoothly. But in the course of his work his hands had got coated with oil and grime and: he used a length of the fealty and apparently useless fabric to'wipe off the grease. IIs was quick to note that the rough discarded stuff did the work much bet- ter than ordinary towelling, and, be- ing always on tlfe alert for a new idea, he added rough towels tohis stock.
