A Fine Point. The late Charles Spencer was pret ty quick wilted at times in seeing a point for a client. On one occasion in a trial for burglary he cross ex amined the policeman who had been stationed inside of the house to watch In anticipation ui a burglary, and the policeman admitted that when he heard the burglar fumbling with the lock he quietly adjusted the door so that it could easily open. Quick as a flash Spencer shouted, "Why, your honor, the policeman is the real burglar, for he opened the door " The result was that the prisoner was convicted only of an attempt at burg lary. -San Francisco Argonaut. A PI int That .Never Seed. Goes to A peculiarity of the sisal plant is that it seldom or never sets a seed. The flowers fall, carrying. the ovary with them; then on the ends of the branches young plants develop, so that the pole presents a rather odd appearance, with the plants growing out in the places usually occupied by the flowers. When tnese young plants have attained a height of from three to four inches they fall to the ground and take root. The old plants also reproduce themselves by means of suckers, and hence, when old and neglected, are often seen surrounded by numerous smaller ones, as in the common house leak (sempervivum).
