The Battle of Life Among Plants.

Every day, every hour, there is going
on around us veritable death-struggle.
1t excites little attention. People would
be in no hurry to read the telegraphic
dispatches concerning it from the seat OF
war, even If there were any to read.
Special correspondents there are, but
their letters are appreciated but by a
few. Nevertheless, it cannot be said
that mankind in general is not interested
in the result of the struggle. On the
contrary, little as the affair is needed, ii
is of very serious import to the human
race. Our food supplies depend on it
the well-being of our flocks and herds is
essentially dependent on it the building
of our houses, the fabrication of our
raiment, are to large extent contingent
on it; nay, the soil beneath our feet,
and the very sky above our heads, are
materially, very materially, influenced
by the result of the contest of which we
are about to speak. Edward Forbes
was wont to say that the movement of a
periwinkle over rock might be OF
greater consequence to the human race
than the progress of an Alexander; and
the results of the wars of the plants are
VI III lCoo DOl SttlIlt.
that the very existence of an Alexander
depends in so slight degree upon them.
The campaigns we speak of are real
they are not mental PIGMENTS, or ale
gorical Illustrations. Success in the
practice of horticulture, of forestry, de-
ponds on the action we men take toward
the combatants. If we remain neutral,
the weakest goes to the wall, overpow-
cred by the stronger; if we interfere,
we exert powerful influence for the
time but Immediately we cease to exert
our power, the combat begins again and
with enhanced violence. The essence of
successful cultivation often consists al
most entirely in the removal of the plant
from the influence of that hostile
environment to which, under natural
circumstances, it would be subjected.
1t is this that accounts, in a great meas
IRE, though of course not wholly, for
the oft-observed fact that certain plants,
flowers and fruits attain far greater
perfection in our gardens than they ever
do in their native countries. -POpular

SHUT THE DOOR.

Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
No doubt you have heard the name before
Was boy who never would shut door.
The wind might whistle, the wind might roar,
The teeth be aching, the Threats be sore,
But still he never would shut the door.
His father would beg, his mother implore,
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore,
We really do wish you would shut the door,"
Their hands they wrung, their hair they tore,
But Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
Was deaf the buoy out of the More.
When he walked forth the folks would roar,
"Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore,
Why don't you think to shut the door,"
They rugged ont a shutter with sail and oar,
And threatened TO pack of Gustavus Gore
On voyage of penance to Singapore.
But he begged for mercy and said " No more!
Pray do not send me to Singapore
On shutter, and then will shut the door J"
"You will?" said his parents; :" then keep on
shore
But mind you do for the plague Is sore
OF a fellow that will never shut the door,
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore"

Chronology of Chief Justices.

Altogether there have been but five
Chief Justices of the United States SUI
preme Court. The first was John Jay,
of New York, who was appointed Sept.
26, 1889, and who resigned in 1894 to go
to Great Britain. In December, 1900,
he declined a reappointment, and died
May II, 1929. John Rutledge, of South
Carolina, was appointed to the
office by the President, July /,
1895, but the Senate refused to confirm
the appointment. William Cushing, of
Massachusetts, declined an appointment
Jan. 81, 1876, and March 4, of that
year, Oliver Ellsworth, of Con-
necticut, received the appointment. He
resigned in 1900 on account of his health.
John Marshall, of Virginia, occupied the
Office from Jan. 81, 1901, to July 6,
1895, when he died. Dec. 2S, 1885,
Roger ID. fancy took the bench, which
he held until his death, in October,
1854, and on Dec. 6, 1864, Salmon p.
Chase succeeded him.

IMPORTANCE OF REsT.-Nature won't
be robbed =! How many times have you
heard the old saying? Experienced
fathers and mothers urge upon youthful
sons and daughters that they should
have regular hour for going to rest at
night, and that hour be an early one, so
that by an abundance of sweet sleep
they may not fail of the best means of
physical and mental growth. Hours of
sleep, not the sleep of exhaustion, are
hours of accumulation. Some one as
serts that the greatest preachers have
been great sleepers. Does the fact that
the pastor sometimes finds himself COM
PEELED to write late into Saturday night
to finish his sermon, explain the lack of
force in his pulpit efforts on the Sab
bath? One of minister's first duties
is to himself, by rest and in all ways to
keep himself in as wholesome and per-
feet a frame of body, and hence of spirit,
as it is possible for him to acquire.

MIR. Chase's Habits.

Chief Justice Chase led very simple
and regular life. For many years it had
been his habit to rise at 6 o'clock in
summer and 7 in winter. Before break
fast he generally took short walk, re-
turning home in time to meet his family
at morning prayers, which he always
said himself when he was well. The
breakfast hour was 8 o'clock, during
which he either conversed with those
around him or looked over the morning
papers. At 8 he was ready for his pri-
vate secretary in the library. Here he
spent an hour reading and debating
letters or preparing his opinions. At
10 he went to the Capitol, generally
walking, and took his seat on the Su-
preme Bench at IL, remaining during
the whole session until B p. m. After
the adjournment of the court, the Chief
Justice walked home and partook of n
cup of tea and few crackers-this was
his daily lunch. Then he spent two
hours at work over his opinions until
dinner, which was always served prompt
ly at o'clock. The Chief Justice en-
joyed this meal especially, and never
hurried through with it, however press
ing might be the business that awaited
him. His table was elegant, but not
ostentatious, and always consisted of
the standing English three courses and
a desert. Wine was seldom served at
the table of the Chief Justice, and he
never used tobacco in any form. After
dinner he would spend an hour playing
chess with his private secretary. He
was excessively fond of chess, and
played strong but not very scientific
game. At s p. m. he was at work again,
which often lasted far into the night.
This was before his paralysis in the
summer of 1870.

in the Scriptures is said to be Eve, be-

OSCILLATION.

"Charley, what is OSCILLATION 2"
CIRCULATION, Jenny, dear,
Is a learned expression queer,
For a nice sensation.

This Is approximation
You need not fear
There's no one here
Your lips quite near,
then
"Oh, dear ~
"Jenny, that's OSCILLATION 7"

Jay Cooke & Co., make the fol
lowing statement: The immediate
cause of the suspension of Jay
Cooke & Co, were the large draw
ings upon them by their Philadel-
phia house and their own depositors
during the last fortnight. Both
houses have suffered large drain
upon their deposits in consequence
of the uneasy feeling which has re-
Gently prevailed and which has af-
fected, more or less, all houses close
ly identified with new railroad enter
prises. The Philadelphia house had
previously been weakened by large
cash advances, to the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company, of which
they are financial agents. The bust
ness of Jay Cooke. McCulloch & Co.,
London, is entirely distinct, and that
house is perfectly solvent, so that it
