Highest of all in Leavening How a Tree Growl If yon wish to become thoroughly ac quainted with the tree's mode of growth the first thing of importance is to keep in view the fnnction of the "cambian layer" the soft, spongy substance lying between the. wood proper and the bark. The pulpy, porous substance is really a tissue of minute cells, visible only un der the microscope, and apparently all of the same size and shape in any given variety of tree. The cells lying nearest the bark contribute a permanent accre tion to the tree's covering, while those which lie nearest the wood slowly change from "cambian layer" to real tree fiber.' In this way the bark beoomes thicker each year, and at the same time the tree itself is permanently enlarged. In the spring and early summer the bark on all trees is to a certain extent loosened to permit of the cambian layer exercising its functions, and when this ' wholly ceases the result -is manifest in i the "ring" of new wood and the thin layer of newly formed inner bark. The ends of each limb have also grown per ceptibly from two inches to two feet, according to the speoies but knots, marks, forks, etc. , on tree trunks are no higher from the ground than they were the year before. If some one tells yon that a limb which is now but three or four feet from the ground "will be high v - enough to walk under when the tree gets its growth," put him or her down as a person knowing but little about the natural history of trees. St. Louis Re public s "Her Speech an Accent." No section may exclusively claim ! Octave Thanet and say, "She is mine,'! in the sense that Miss Murfree belongs to Tennessee or Miss Wilkins to New England, writes Mary J. Reid in The Ladies' Home Journal. Miss Alice French was born in Andover, Mass. , her ancestors on both sides belonging to well known Now England and Vir - ginian families, such as the Mortons and Lees. When but 5 years old, her fa ther removed to Davenport, la. , but she was sent to Andover to be graduated from the same seminary which her Grandmother French had attended when a girL There are strong fibers in her na ture which draw her to the south and , midwest. Some portions of those re gions she says she knows like her own soul. Her fair complexion, fathomless blue ' eyes, light brown hair and also her ten der conscience and love of learning ally her to New England. Her manners, speech and magnificent physique are southern, while her humorous month and vigorous, practioal mind bespeak her a daughter of the west. A long resi dence at the south and a study of vari ous dialects have somewhat affected her . pronunciation. "If Miss French were a foreigner," a New England poet re marked, "I should call her speech an accent,", but I have heard the same pro nunciation in old Virginian and Mary land families. jume. zvosio wua. . Mme. Rostowska of Lille, Franoe, is 113 years old and a major's widow.

Americans spend at least $75,000,000 a year in visiting Europe for pleasure ' and hardly $1,000,000 at our own nat ural wonders of Niagara, the Yosemite yalley and the Yellowstone park. Most of the tourists at thess home resorts are Europeans. Among, the 8,000 visitors to the Yellowstone park during the last three years only 00 were Americans. It seems to be the opinion of the American that the proper study of mankind is man, and not scenery. St. Louis Globe Dflmofirat. THE GREAT Family Medicine of the Are.

Latest U. S. Gov't Report Powder PURE Be Satisfied His Conscience. It was under some of the earlier bank rupt laws that this exhibtion of rare shrewdness occurred, when it was re quired that in case of a man's insolv ency he must turn over to the proper officer of the law every bit of his prop erty for the benefit of his creditors. The subject of this story was yet a young man and wealthy when misfortune over took him and failure I was inevitable. Some of his property was real estate, some of it was not, the latter consisting of securities easily converted into cur rency. A nice little bundle of bank bills could be more safely handled than cer tificates of stocks, etc. When the time came, being an honorable man, he con scientiously surrendered his entire ef fects, even a tubular cane from which the handle could be disjointed, the gift of an admiring friend. After handing the walking stick to the official, thus satisfying the law, he suggested its re turn. It was a present from a friend and could be of little value to any one but himself as a memento.- "Certainly," said the offioer. "Take it It's of no value to us. " "Thanks ! I'll prize it highly. " Some time afterward in his quiet home the shrewd financier disjointed the handle and removed from his tubu lar depository several thousand dollars of well crumpled bank bills. Syracuse Post. Symbolism. When you study the vast 6ubjeot of ymbelism, as has Professor D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, you are just as likely as not to be swamped. In a recent comprehensive study Professor Thomp son works in the direction of the heav enly bodies and the condition of the sky at certain periods. Lions, eaglet and all 'animals or birds have, as sym bols, something to do with the skies. It is true, as the learned professor states, that the Pleiades are very much mixed up with the names and images of birds. "The Hen and Chickens" is English for the Pleiades, and m many languages ex pressive of the same oonstellation there are birds. Carrying his ideas to their furthest limits, Professor Thompson believes that all coins have their typical animals, birds or fish, derived from the same ce lestial source, but the queerest conjec ture is one in regard to the old ratio ex isting between silver and gold. That ratio having been ltf.8 to 1, the profess or calmly asks whether that is not an evidence "that this ratio is preoisely identical with the ratio of the solar year to the lunar mouth namely, -865 to'27.4." When you make up your mind to go in for symbolism, there is no knowing where it may land you. Charon's Boat. . On one of the lakes in the north is land of New Zealand, near Auckland, there was a hotel "much frequented by fishermen. On one occasion when a gentleman, whom I will call Mr. X, was staying there, he was taken serious ly ill, and the landlord, supposing that he could not possibly recover, began to think of making preparations for his visitor's doath. Knowing a man who was a pretty fair carpenter and had owed him coney for some time and see ing little chance of being repaid, he told him to make a cofiin for the sick man. The coffin was duly made, but Mr. X., instead of dying, as ho ought to have done, recovered, and there was there fore no use for the coffin. The landlord, not caring to beat the expense, included a charge for it in Mr. X.'s bill, who, on seeing it, naturally enough demurred to paying for some thing which he bad not ordered and did not want. The landlord said it was very hard that the loss should fall on him, as he hud only done it for the best, and Mr. X. at last agreed to pay for it. De termined to turn it to some account, he had a keel put to it and used it as a fish ing punt during the remainder of his stay at the hotel. Realm. Others Have Sighed For This Too. The late Oliver Wendell Holmes, eays the London Queen, loved all kinds of knickknacks connected with writing ma terials. There was a large drawer in his library table in , his town house "on" Beacon street, Boston, which contained endless neat little divisions, full of the various articles of stationery which he used. The one whioh he was most anx ious to possess was not invented in his lifetime, and I do not think that it has been invented yet. The great little doc tor wanted, and believed in the possi bility of a typewriter no bigger than a cigar case, containing so many sheets of paper 4 inches by 2. As soon as the top sheet was full it was to be changed au tomatically by the machine which was, in fact, a typewriter notebook. Fancy the luxury of rough notes written with a typewriter instead of in blurred and untidy pencil sc'rawL first Use of Platinum. It is recorded that the first Ural min ers were much disgusted with platinum and did not know what to do with the hard, dirty looking metal, says a Lon don contemporary. They thought they had solved the problem of successful utilization when they had made bullets of it for their sporting muskets. The greatness of the human soul is shown by knowing how to keep within proper bounds. So far from greatness consisting in going beyond its limits, it really consists in keeping within it Pascal.

GUNMAKEft OF ILI0N JEFFERSON M. CLOUGH REFUSES A TEMPTING OFFER. His Health Wat Too Poor to Permit Attention to Business A Great Suf ferer for Many Tears, But He Has MoW Recovered. From the Springfleia, Mass. , Uulon. There isn't a gun manufacturer in the United States who does not know Jefferson M. Clough, and why? Be cause he has been intimately associated all his life with the development of the two best American rifles, the Reming ton and Winchester. For years he was superintendent of the E. Remington & Sons' great factory at Ihon, ,N. Y. After leaving there he refused a tempt ing offer of the Chinese government to go to China to superintend their gov ernment faotories and accepted in stead the superintendency of the Win' chester-Arms Co., at New Haven, at a salary of $7,500 a year. It was after this long term of aotive labor as a "business man that he found himself incapacitated for further serv ice by the embargo which rheumatism had laid upon him and resigned his position more than two years ago, and returned to Belohertown, Mass., where he now lives and owns the Phelphs farm, a retired spot where he has five hundred aores of land. Being a man of means he did not spare the cost and was treated by lead' ing physicians and by baths at celebrat ed springs without receiving any bene' fit worth notioe. . During the summer of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr. Clough was confined to his house in Belohertown, being unable to rise from his bed without assistance, aud suffering continually with acute pains and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain sufficient sleep. Early in the year 1894 Mr. Clough heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He began taking these pills about the first of March, 1894, and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The first effect noticed was a better appetite and he began to note more ability to help himself off the bed and to be bet ter generally. Last August (1894) he was able to go alone to his summer residence and farm of 163 aores on Grenadier island, among the Thousand islands, in the river . St. Lawrence, where from the highest land of ' his farm he commands a view for thirteen miles down the river, and sixty of the Thousand islands can be seen. Instead of being confined to his bed Mr. Clough is now and has been for some time able to be about the farm to direct the men employed there and he is thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for him. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. ; Williams' Medioine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $3. 50, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all drug gists or direct by mail from Dr. Wil liams' Medioine Company. "Did you bear the Joke on Dobson?"

In states and territories where snow and ice last all the long winters through, where men are much exposed and suffer much from cold, it is a wonder they do not pro vide better against some of the conse quences. In some lumber camps, ohop- Eers stand all day in knee-deep snow with alf frozen feet. Iht feet are much more tender than the hands from being covered up all the time. Men are often lame all sum mer from the frost bites of the previous winter. -Why it is so, is simply because they do not know that St. Jacobs Oil will cure frost bite in a night.
