Tha Cakes of Our Childhood.
It must be a rouimoii experience
with ub all to look txuk with some-
thing of rondcr uvan of humilia-
tion to the things in literature or
art vq once thought exquisite and
of highest xrorth. The oratory we
onco sat under the music we once
sang or played the ongraving we
used to buy and hang on our walk
when we were eighteen and infalli-
ble how poor and cheap they often
seem after a quarter of a century or
so during which we have read more
thought more used our eyes more
and drunk deeper of the "itfll sod
music of humanity!"
Herbivorous Animsls.
Herbivorous animals do not eat
all of natures menu. The horse re-
fuses the water hemlock that the
goat oats with avidity wid on the
other hand the goat refuses some
pknt3 that are eaten by the sheep.
The tobacco plant is avoided by all
save the goat man and the tobacco
worm. Some botanists think that
no plant is absolutely poisonous but
only relatively so being harmful to
only certain animals.

GRANT AND L0NGSTREET.
A West Point Friendship That Held
Throughout Their Lives.
The strong schoolboy friendship
which began at West Point between
Grant and Xong3treet lasted
throughout their lives. Grant was
of the class after Longstreet but
somehow their silent serious na-
turts were in spontaneous accord
and says Helen D. Longstreofc in
"Lee and Longstreet at High Tide'
they became fast friends from thoir
first meeting. That one was from
the west and one from the south
made no difference just as later it
made no difference in their feeling
of personal affection that one led
the army of tho Union and the oth-
er was a Confederate general.
General Longstreet often spoke of
tho details of the capitulation at
Appomattox. He said that when he
went into the conference room in
tho McLean residence as one of the
Confederate commissioners he was
compelled to pass through the room
occupied by General Grant as hi3
headquarters.
He felt curious to know how Gen-
eral Grant would receive him. Ho
had loved Grant as one of his clos-
est boyhood friends but times were
much changed. Grant was victor
he was vanquished. He was there-
fore prepared to observe the rigid
demeanor of thpj& between whom
ceremony only forces recognition!
But as soon as he entered the room
Grant rose approached him with a
greater show of demonstration than
ever in the older days and slapped
him on the shoulder exclaiming:
"Well 'Old Pete can't we get
back to the good old days by playing
a game of brag?"
At West Point the nickname
among the boys for General Long-
street was "Old Pete."
The important part of that iaset-
ing the splendid bearing of the
conquered Confederates the nroJaat
demeanor of the Union victors
above all the noble generosity of
Grani in refusing to accept the
sword of Lee and in giving the fair-
est terms possible undop the existing
circumstances these are known to
all who have read United Stas
history.
Worth tho Money.
"You acknowledge that the bon-
net intrinsically is not wort o;er
$5" we say to the milliner r '.t.'ijly.
"Then why do you ask $25 fo;- it.?"
"I just wish you could con.-' in
contact with some of these shop-
pers" she replied plaintively. "I
wouldn't try to talk one of them
into buying a bonnet for less than
$20." Kansas City Independent.
A Night Shift 3.
The old joke about the man who
crossed his bees with lightning bugs
that they might see to work at
night appears to have been realized
m India whare an unusually large
species gather honey only in the
nighttime.
There are many night blooming
flowers in -that country and fills
bee apparently finds no difficulty in
gathering his store for it i3 record-
ed that the combs frequently reach'
a height of six feet.
It is not stated that the honey a
of food value and its use for huma&
consumption is to be qvadbotM
since many of the night fltweriaf
plants possess strongly hmcoc
properties.
