The biggest tree in California is not
in the Yosemite Valley. Kings River
Valley, in Fresno County, is five thou
sand feet above the sea, and its walls,
which are about three thousand feet
high, are very precipitous. In this val
ley new grove of colossal redwood
trees has been discovered. One of them
eclipses all that have been discovered
on the pacific coast. Its circumfe renee
as high as a man can reach and pass a
tapeline around, is few inches less
than one hundred and fifty feet. thi,
is beyond the measurement of any tree
in Calaveras Grove. The hight is es-
tImated at one undred and sixty feet,
and part of the top lying on the
ground is over one hundred feet in
length.

HONE.

Oh, not the smile Of other lands,
Though far and wide our feet may roam
Can Ger unite the genial hands
That knit our hearts to home.
To cheer and cherish lifs's young flow'r

That stand in memory's tower.
With sweet, but melancholy care,
Perpetual homage loves to pay.
And keeps each trophy fair.

1t so happens that in every twent
eight years the 4th of March, the day
fixed for the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent, falls on Sunday. This occurs
next year for the fourth time in the his
tory of our nation, and following the
precedent established by three of his
predecessors, the new President will
take his oath of Office on Monday, the
9th of March. The first inauguration
on the 9th of March was that of George
Washington on entering upon his sec.
ond term. The next time the 4th of
March fell on Sunday was in 1921,
when james Monroe was President
elect for the second time, and he, too,
was inaugurated on Monday, March 9th
The third occurrence of this kind was
in 1S49, when Zachary Taylor was in
augurated on Monday, the 9th of
March. After next year inauguration
day will not fall on Sunday again until
1905.

FINDING THE KEY.

Several years ago the school in Will
low Dale district needed a teacher.
Having ascertained that the location
was pleasant and the salary good,
(that is for this State) | presented my
self before the Commissioners as an
applicant for the position. 1 never
shall forget that meeting. l can see
DIR. Green with his pompous bearing
which seemed to strike terror into the
the hearts Of the timid pedagogues.
Then there was Mr.. Smith, who, if he
knew anything seemed disposed TO
keep his knowledge to himself. for he
allowed the rest to do the talking.
Last but not least was Mr.. Kent, a ge-
NAL man, q gentleman and a scholar.
Fifteen minutes conversation with
him would make you feel as much at
ease in his company as if you had
known him for years. Such was the
board before whom 1 appeared on that
memorable occasion.
DIR. Green took my testimonials,
read them, and then passed them to
the others. He then asked me ques-
lions on the different branches taught
in the school. Mr.. Smith listened
and said nothing. At the close of the
examination a whispering conference
took place. Finally Mr.. Green ad-
dressing me, said:
"Mr-, we are perfectly satisfied
with your testimonials and with the
result of your examination, but We
very much fear that you cannot man
age the school"
"Why mott" inquired. "Let me
explain" said Mr.. Kent. "Our
school would be easily managed but
fer one boy, a great overgrown fellow,
whom none of the teachers can con-
troll. He has whipped two or three,
caused as many to leave, and has kept
the school in perfect confusion. He
neither loves nor fears any one, and
has earned for himself the unenviable
title of "Dare Devil Dick" ''Per-
haps," / suggested "no one has ever

POst-mOrtem Love.

Why it is that so many people keep
all their pleasant thoughts, and kind
words about man, bottled and sealed
up until he is dead, when they come
and break the bottle over his coffin, and
battle his shroud in fragrance' Many
a man goes through life with scarcely
one bright encouraging helpful word.
He tolls hard and in lowly obscurity.
He gives out his life freely and I'M
stintedly for others. / remember
such q man. He was not brilliant;
he was not great; but he was faithful
He had many things tOdiscourage him.
Troubles thickened about his life. He
was misrepresented and misunderstood.
Everybody believed he was a good
man, but no one ever said a kindly
or pleasant thing to him. He never
heard a compliment, scarcely ever a
good wish. No one ever took any
pains to encourage him, to strengthen
his feeble knees, to tighten his burdens
or to lift up his heart by gentle deed
of love, or by a cheerful word. He
was neglected. Unkind things were
often said of him.
1 stood BY his coffin, and then there
were many tongue, to speak his praise.
There was not a breath of aspersion
in the air. Men spoke of selfdenial,
Of his work among the poor, of his good
qualities, of his quietness, his mOdesty,
his humility, his pureness of heart, his
faith and prayer. There were many
who spoke Indignantly of the charges
that falsehood had forged against him
In past years, and of the treatment he
had received. There were enough
kind things said dnring the two or
three days that he lay in the coffin,
and while the company stood around
his open grave, to have blessed, and
made him happy all his years and to
have thrown sweetness and joy about
his soul during all his painful and
weary journey. There was enough
sunshine wasted about that black cof-
fin and dark grave, to have made his
whole life path bright as clearest day.
But his ears wers closed then, and
could not hear word that was spoken.
His heart was still then, and could
not be thrilled by the grateful sounds.
He cared nothing then, for the sweet
flowers that were piled upon his coffin.
The love blossomed out too late. The
kindness came when the life could not
receive its blessings.
And said then that 1 would not keep
all my kind words, and all my pleas
ant thoughts and feelings, about my
neighbOr, locked up in my bre asst till
he is dead. They will do him no good
then. His dead hand cannot feel the
warm pressure. Gentle words will
not make his pale face glow. 1t will
be too late, when be lies in the coffin,
to seek to make him happy, to lift the
shadows OH his life, or to brighten his
path.
