THE CUPEY TREE.
line of (he Mont C'tirlons Groirllm of
the Went Indien.
The cupoy, or. as It Is sarcastically
en I led in tbe English possessions, "tho
attorney," is one of the most curious,
ns It Is one of the most picturesque,
denizens of the virgin forests of the
West Indian islands. It belongs to tho
parasitical family of trees or plants;
but. terrible to relate. It invariably,
with the basest Ingratitude, destroys
nil life in the unfortunate tree that
cherishes It in Its early growth. The
reeds are borne on the vj-igs of the
wind and deposited on the branches
of other trees, when they burst Into
roots, which are dropped toward tbe
ground all around the "nurse" tree.
In tltne these roots reach the ground
and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger nnd stronger until they resem?
ble a lot of rope ladders thrown over
the tree. Next the parasite sends down
a great cord, which twines around the
trunk of tho supporting tree, at first ns
though in loving embrace, but II grows
tighter and tighter, eventually stran?
gling its benefactor nut of existence.
Tbe nurse tree thus killed rots to de?
cay, nnd from the Immense fibrous
roots of the destroyer now spribgs a
great .trunk, which rises high into tlu>
nlr. When a cupey Is full grown it
presents a magnificent spectacle, for
tbe cord like root rises often to fifty or
sixty feet nnd supports In midair tbe
vast tree Itself.
MARIE ANTOINETTE.
Two Dranintlc nnd Contrasting Epl
Hntlrn In Her Life.
Thlstelton-Dycr, in bis "Royally In .
All Ages," describes two dramatic j
and tragically contrasted episodes lu
tbe life of Marie Antoinette, tho lovely,
and ill fated queen of France. Once, j
In the days of her greatest popularity,
when she went to the opera of "Ipllb
genln," when Achilles came to tbe lino
"Let us sing and celebrate tbe queen,".
be turned toward the radiant young'
sovereign and sang two additional Im-1
prom pin lines of charming compliment, j
This graceful and unexpected homage,
so delighted the audience that "all was
shouting und ciapplng of hands, and?j
what never happened at the opera be-,
fore?the chorus was encored, and
there were cries of 'Long live the
queen:' at which expression of feeling
her majesty was so affected that she
?died tears."
On the next occasion, when Marie
Antoinette's sun of popular favor bad
set and she was hearing the tragic
close of her life, one of the actresses in
"Unforeseen Events" bowed to her as
she icing the words "Ah, bow I love
my mistress'." In n moment nil was in
uproar, and the theater was full of
hoarse, angry cries of "No mistress!
No master! Liberty'." and "No master!
No quern!" and It wos some minutes
before the tumult quieted down and It
was possible to proceed with the play.
SOUPS AND BROTHS.
They Are StlmulnttnR, lint IIotb Lit?
tle Nutritive Vitluc.
Soups and broths made of the ment
pieces alone hud without the nddltiou
of meat substance, eggs, vegetables or
cereals have little nutritive value, al?
though they do possess stimulating
properties.
A dog would starve to death In ten
days if fed upon beef broth pure and
simple.
Soup Interferes with digestion when?
ever a full meal Is eaten. I consider It
as being entirely superfluous and ad?
vise its discontinuance In u substantial
dinner menu.
Soup, being practically nil water,
plays an Important part hi conjunction
with the large quantities of other
liquids injected during mealtime In de?
laying and Interfering with digestion
nnd laying n foundation for stomach
trouble. Through It and lite other
liquids used the stomach Is not only
overfilled nnd unnecessarily burdened,
but the gastric secretions are so weak?
ened by dilution that they can net but
slowly upon the food mass. Here
again we have tbe food remaining In
the stomach for too long a period, and
there is likely Id be produced nil of the
symptoms nnd signs of an Intoxication
due to the absorption Into the system
of the products of decomposed foods.
Soup eaten by itself or with a light
meal, as n rule, does not act harmfully

A mist rial resulted, the jury stand?

At the coaling term of court in

THE ATMOSPHERE.
Flrnt Attempt ?<i Wet?h It "Wn* Mnil?
liy .?.rlv-toil,-.
Tf we arc to believe both legend nr.."
history, the (irst attempt to weigh til.'
was that made by Aristotle, Hie grea.
tlrceh philosopher of the fifth century.
He first weighed an empty goatskin
bag ami then Inllnted It and again put
it In the balances, and because h<
found no difference hi welsht undci
the two conditions announced to the
world that al,- was n substance wholly
Without weight.
With Hindern laboratory apparatus
most any high school scholar can dem
bnstrate I lie fact that a flask of tea
cubic Inches capacity weighs full;
three grains more when filled with air
Hutu It does after being placed under
the exhaust of an air pump. The till
morons experiments Hint have been
made on the weight of air warrant the
scientists In announcing that the
weight of Hie whole terrestrial atmos?
phere 1? nbmit equal to that of n solid
copper ball sixty-two miles in diameter.
The philosophers have also shown that
the weight of the atmosphere must be
limited lo where gravity overcomes the
centrifugal force. If it were of equal
density throughout Its height above the
earth, it could not extend n greater aid
tilde than 27.818 feet, which would
leave about 1,200 feet of Mount Ever
est sticking out above lite atmosphere
It Is n well known fact, however, that
air loses its weight and density as we
ascend from the sea level, and calcula?
tions which have been made on that
basis go to show that there may be a
Stratum of very thin air nt a height of
21,000 miles.
The Two of Quinine.
Teople who suffer with the liver and
who get run down In nerve strength
sometimes complain that quinine dops
them no good, shys n physician. The
reason Is this: When quinine passe.
Into the Intestine it Is noted on by the
bile ntitl forms with It n salt that is,
soluble only In n great excess of bile,
so It posses out of the system without
entering the blood nt all. To prevent
this bilious persons ought to clear out
the bile by a good liver pill or n saline
purgative before the quinine Is taken
Even when the liver Is not affected it
Is always best to tnko such medicine?
before using quinine.
