The press of Italy is discussing the

Leroy Dunstan, the well known nat-
uralist of Philadelphia, who has re-
cently returned from "Central America,
where he had spent nearly two years
in the study of the flora and fauna of
that country, relates to a Times report-
er the finding of a singular grpwth in
one of the swamps which surround the
lake of Nicaragua. He was engaged
in hunting for botanical and entomo-
logical specimens in this swamp,which
is kn own as San Sebastian's, when he
heard his dog cry out as it in acronv
from a distance. Running to the spot
from which the animal1 s cries came,
Mr. Dustan found him enveloped in a
perfect network of what seemed to bo
a fine, ropelike tissue of roots or fibres,
the nature of which was uuknown to
hi .
The plant or vine seemed composed
entirely of bare interlacing stems, re-
sembling more than anything else the
branches of the weeping willow den ail-
ed of its foliage, but of a dark nearly
black hue and covere d with a thick,
viscid gum that exuded from the
pores. Drawing his knife Mr. JUm-
stan endeavored to cut the animal free,
but it was only with the greatest diffi-
culty that he succeeded in severing the
fleshy, muscular fibre. To his horror
and amazement the naturalist then saw
that the dog's body was covered with
blood, while his hairless skin appeared
to have been actually sucked or puck-
ered in spots and the animal stagger-
ed as if from weakness and exhaus-
tion.
In cutting the vine the twigs
curled like living, sinuous fingers
about Mr. Dunstan?s hand and it re-
quired no slight force to free the mem-
ber from its clinging clasp, which left
the flesh red and blistered. The gum
exuding from the vine was oE a grayish
dark tinge,remarkably adhesive and of
a disagreeable animal odor, very pow-
erful and nauseating to inhale.
The native servants who accompa-
nied Mr. Dunslan manifested the
greatest horror of the vine which they
call "la sagenas de diabie," the devil's
seine, or snare, and were full of stories
of its death-dealing powers. One of
these stories was of an Englishman
residing in Managua, who, while hunt-
ing in the swamp a few years before,
lay down beneath a tree where a large
and powerful specimen of this singular
plant was growing and inadvertantly
falling asleep awoke to find himself
enveloped in its web, and in spite of
every effort made to extricate him,per-
ished in its deadly embrace.
Another story was of an escaped
convict who had hidden in the swamp
and whose bones had been found in the
folds of the sagenas only a short time
before Mr. Dunstan1 s visit. These
stories, remarkable as they may seem,
are firmly _ believed _in c
but the only three specimens which
Mr. Dunstan was able to find were
all small ones, though the meshes of
the largest would probably, if extend-
ed in a straight line, measure nearly,
if not quite. 100 feet He was able to
discover very little about the nature of
the plant owing to the difficulty oí exam-
ining it, for its grasp can only be torn
away with loss of skin and even of flesh,
but,as near as Mr. Dustan could ascer-
tain,its power of suction is contained in
a number of infinitesimal mouths or lit-
tle suckers, which ordinarily closed,
open for the reception of food.

STEVE FRANKLIN'S RAMBLE.
He Was Sound Asleep, but It Made
No Difference to Him,
One of the most marvelous freaks of
somnambulism ever known in Buns-
wick, Ga., is described in the Macon
Telegraph. The participant in the
semi-conscious night perambulation
was a negro named Steve Eranklin,and
the course of his stroll was from
Brunswick to the new docks and re-
turn. Franklin is a day laborer at the
new docks, and assists in loading the
vessels with cotton. He usually re-
turns to the city about 6 o'clock in the
evening and spends the nignt.. In or-
der to reach his work in due time next
morning he leaves Brunswick at 4
o'clock. One night last week, about
10 o'clock, he arose from his bed.dress-
ed himself, and struck out for the scene
of labor. On arriving he discovered
that he had forgotten his dinner, and
at once reversed himself and returned
to Brunswick. He was just entering
the city when he suddenly awoke. It
was several minutes^ before hp could
take in* the situation, and then he was
so badly frightened as to almost go in-
to convulsions.

The chenille monkey is a delight to
the joker old and young, and is having
a great sale in the stores. He is an
inch high and two inches long, and
stands on all fours. Some master-hand
has made him, for there is the loofl: of
the lemur in his face and a most
artistic curl to his crushed-strawberry
tail. Some of them have blue bodies,
red noses, yellow tails. Others have
yellow bodies, blue noses, red tails,
and so on through all the variations of
the rainbow, and into tints of pink and
rose. He stands on a green cloth,
wire-rimmed base, and herein lies his
popularity, for beneath it is a string,
from side to side, with a little stick
twisted into it just as the old-fashioned
bucksaw used to be manipulated for
tightening purposes. A bit of shoe-
maker's wax is on the outer edge of
the base and the stick is brought back
and its end stuck to the wax. Now
for the life of the joke. The monkey,
all loaded, is placed beside the inno-
cent party. He is invited to inspect
him. Just about the instant that he
is lost in wonder at the curl of the
critter's tail the wax gets tired of
sticking and, as it does, the stick flies
back and the little brute in chenille
with fiery nose and tail jumps two feet
into the air and like a red-headed
comet goes over and over, lighting on
his feet again in front of the beholder,
who will if he is like us need two
weeks to get the kinks out of his neck
and be certain of its non-dislocation.—

Cheerfulness an Aid Cure.
There is a faith cure not often con-
sidered. but which is in constant ope-
ration and quite as effective in its
workings as that practiced by pre
fessional "healers" or "metaphysi-
cians," says the Indiauapolis Jour
nal. It is the cure brought, or as
sisted by the patient's faith in his
doctor. Every physician knows the
desirability of inspiring this feeling,
and the best method of establishing
this confidence in persons under hh.
treatment are made matters of profes-
sional study. It is only in pa"t a ques-
tion of medical skill. He may be
recognized as a man of gresjt knowl-
edge and ability, and may lack that
one essential characteristic th.it makes
him welcome in every household. The
possession of this quality is largely a
matter of temperament, and its useful-
ness is hardly recognized by the fortu-
nate practicioner, though he may con-
scientiously cultivate it through
knowledge of the fact that cheerful-
ness is better than gloom in all the re-
lations of life. It is the gospel of cheer-
fulness that this irían unconsciously
1 caches—not the aggressive gayety
u-.-i unsympathetic jocularity that is
an offense to an invalid and his friends,
but a brightness i f spirit that makes
glad all who meet him.

Campi^r in Africa.
The moment a suitable camping-
ground is reached "the loads are
stocked, and, with astonishing rapid-
it}*, born of fear and daily drill, a
strong circular thorn fence is built,
inside which we feel safe—yet not
quite safe, for no man dares lay down
his gun or leave a single article ex-
posed to the clutches of. the thievish
warriors. These may be prevented
from stealing, but cannot be punished
if caught in the act; so that for them
the attempt is only rare sport—for us a
constant source of danger and worry.
Soon the natives begin to appear.
First the women and married men

The Crater PlinT of the Mooa.
The members of the Baltimore So-
ciety of Amateur Astronomers received
a dispatch from Prof. Ritchie, at the
Harvard Observatory, announcing a
change in the crater Pliny of the moon.
This remnant of $ volcano is one of the
many crags and peaks distinguishable
through an opera-glass, field-glass or
telescope. The entire surface of the
moon is broken up by walled plains,
in the centre of «*ach of which
straight mound. Crater Pliny is one
of the best known of these, and is in
the north weslern quadrant cf the moon.
A Baltimore astronomer speaking of
the report, :vaid that he thought a
mistake had been made in regard to
the discovery, as the satellite is be-
lieved to be dead and no change can

in fiftee11 volumes, for only Two Dollars
Charles Pickens was the greatest nov-
elist who ever lived. No author, be-
fore or since his time, has won the fame
that he has achieved, and his works are
even more popular to day than during
his lifetime.
He is eminently the novelist of the
people, and his works are the most
widely read of any novels printed in
any language. The popularity of
Dickens is ever increasing, and f very
person should own a full set cf his
works. His books teem with shafts
of sparkling wit, touches of p tbos,
thrusts of satire. They abound ia hu-
mor, masterly delineation of character,
vivid descriptions of places anü iaci-
rises a dents, thrilling and skilfully wrought
¡ plots. Each book is intensely interest-
ing. His characters are origina and
real as well as quaint and grotesque; he
unmasks vice in all its forms. The lights
and shadows of life are delineated in a
thrilling and dramatic style. To own a
