Inc Black Walnut

The Black Walnut, is one CT the most
valuable Of our native trees. 1t Is a
rapid grower, and attaiEs . height OF
sixty TO ninety feet. The largest black
walnut tree in the country is said TO be
growing at Roslyn, Long Island, on
the estate of the late lamenred poet w.
C. bryant. 1t grew from seed in the
year l7I3. 1t twenty-five feet around
it, three feet from the ground. At the
height OF about fifteen feet, the trunk
divides into several large branches,
and spreads out into large head, COW
ering space OF a hundred and fifty
feet in diameter. Usually, in the for.
est, or where these trees grow togethe,
in groups, the truna is single column
to the height of thirty to fifty feet
without bra nches. Although the blacl
walnut is found to q limited extent IL
almost every section of the country, i
Is only in the valley Of the Mississippi
and its tributaries that Ii becomes /;
prominent feature of forest scenery
From Ohio, westward to Colorado, it il
one of the most Important; or. at least
such was its rank before the native for.
ests were leyeIed. Al present II IS
comparatively scarce in the States east
Of the Mississippi, and, at the rate it is
now disappearing, another quarter OF .
century at most will exhaust the supply
for mechanical purposes. In view of
the great value of this tree for its tim
Der, the beauty and elegance OF which
for cabinet and other fine work 1t is so
well known, and understanding the
absolute certainty OF its high price in
the market OF the next generation, 1t
will be an act of only ordinary pru-
dence, for those properly situated TO do
so, 10 plant il. As nut, the fruit of
lie Black Walnut is Of little value, al
hough its peculiar flavor is enjoyed BY
some.

Wooden Swearing

A Sabbath school lesson was about
swearing, and when the children had
repeated their verses, the minister rose
to talk 20 them. 81 hope, dear chill
dren," he said, THAT you will never
let your lips speak profane words. But
now l want to tell you about kind
Of swearing which | heard a good
woman speak about net long ago. She
called It wooden swearing. It's a
kind Of swearing that many people be-
side children are given to, when they
are angry. Instead of given vent TO
their feelings in oaths, they slam the
doors, kick the chairs, stamp on the
floor, throw the furniture about, and
make all the noise they possibly can
Isn't this just the same as swearingf'
said she. Its just the same kind of feel
ing exactly, only they do not like to say
those awful words; but they force the
furniture 10 make the noise, and so /
cali 1t wooden swearing. Ihope dear
children, that you will not do any of
this kind OF swearing either" Il Is
better 10 let alone wooden and all other
kinds Of swearing.

discussion of this important topic one
of the children, who had aD open
Bible on his knees, said, "Weli, !
should like to sit on the roof all my
davs and have nothing TO do, just like
Joseph in Egypt" Very naturally the
attention of the family was excited BY
the remark, and the boy was asked tt
explain himself. He turned over the
leaves of the book, and triumphantly
read the passage which aroused his
envy: "And Pharoah put Joseph over
hi. house." There" he said, that
what would like, TO sit on the roof
and have large salary"

old Father Scarf, the minister of his
boyhood, which Is too good to be lost.
Ii was customary then to wear buck
skin brooches in cool weather. One
Sunday morning III autumn, Father
Searl brought his breeches down from
the garret, but the Wasps had taken
possession during the summer. and
were having nice time of it in them.
By dint Of effort lie got out the intrud-
ers and dressed for meeting. But while
reading the Scripture TO the cOngrega-
ton he felt dagger IRON one Of the
enraged small wasted fellows, and
jumping around the pulpit slapplng
his thighs. But the more lie slapped
and danced the more they stuug- The
people thought him crazy. but he ex-
planned the matter by saying: "Breth-

Lord is In my mouth. but the devil /:
in my breeches." Webster always told
it with great glee 10 the minist-Is.

ported to be undergoing very considera-
Bile changes in its level. Since the
posts Of the Hndson's Bay Company
were established at the mouths OF the
various rivers. there has been an in

with large craft, and this rising of the
earth is estimated at from five to ten
feet within the last hundred years.
Similar changes have been observed on

which is an island called Mile Lands,
now several feet above high water,
which, within the memory of man, was
always submerged at ioed time.
