How the Judge Crossed the Stream.

"We were riding along the road one
chilly day in November said General
Craig, talking about court business ana

stream that appeared to be about thirty
yards wide. Hello, said Judge Nor
ton, of Missouri, this is new stream
to me. How shall we cross it 2 Taking
advantage of his ignorance, pretended
to survey the situation, and after emerg-

choked my handkerchief into my
mouth to keep from laughing, while
the judge gravely waded across through
exactly four inches of water; but you
would have died to see his look of un-
utterable disgust when he reached the

mud, but his ankles were scarcely touch

Pennsylvania Forests.

We are glad to perceive that some
interest is at last beginning to be taken
in the subject of preserving the Penn
sylvania forests, which are threatened
with complete destruction. The Pitts
burg Post informs us that the State
Board of Agriculture, which recently
met at Harrisburg, took steps to ascer.
tain what proportion the timber land of
the state bears to the entire acreage
Since then statistics which have been
obtained indicate that about one fourth
Of the ascerage is woodland, and that
its tendency is toward marked de-
crease in quantity. The chairman of
the committee on forests and forestry,
VIM. S, Roland, of York, foresees i'm
paired health and comfort of the peo
pie, and deleterious effects upon the
business relations ofthe state, if the de
struction of Pennsylvania forests, is al
lowed to go on without something being
done in the way of repair. ''Trees are
the dominating members of the vege
table kingdom. They are the neces-
sary factors in the sum total of those
influences which constitute the environ
ment of animal life. Trees, by absorb
ing carbonic gas and emitting oxygen,
act as agents in rendering the atmos-
phere lfe-sustaining. BY interposing
their foliage between the sun and the
earth, they serve useful purpose in
shelterng the soil from the heat, and

part of the dirty house, but we soon
discovered that there was nothing to

take to starve person to death there,
or to disgust him with victuals to that
extent that death would seem prefer

upon the probable limit of endurance
in five days. 1t was a lengthy cam
paign of a morning to get simple
early breakfast 1t was work of
time, in the first place, to find anybody
to serve it. When the one waiter was
discovered and coaxed into the dining
room, ordered coffee and the usual
accompaniments. In about fifteen
minutes he brought in pot of muddy
liquid and a cup. suggested then, in
reason, spoon ought to go with it.
A spoon was found after some search

also, was called for, not that | wanted
it, or could eat it when it came, but
because butter is conventional thing
to have for breakfast. This butter
was a sort of poor cheese gone astray.
The last aricle to be got was knife.
The knives were generally very good,
or would have been if they had been
clean. By patience, after this, you
could have red mullet ahd an egg and
some sour oranges. All the oranges
in Sicily are sour. The reason given
for this, however, is that all the good
ones are shipped to America. The
reason given in America why all the
Sicily oranges are sour is that all the
good ones are kept at home.

soul connected with the hotel was

himself making out our bills. There
was some difficulty in separating our

The Language of the Face.

1t is surprising how much can be
learned from the face. Physiognomy
seldom lies. This lady with the dia-
monds in her ears is not a person of
position. Her dress is faultless, her
movements elegant; she is very hand
some, but, somehow you know. 1t
is that peculiar, half-doubtful, half SUI
percilious expression of hers that tells
its own story. She is at once defiant
and ashamed. Yonder sits an i'll dress
ed. far from handsome, middle-aged
woman, but there is gracious, matron-
ly look upon her face. You place her
at once as an honest wife and careful
mother. You have no doubt of her,
nor of the girl at her side, her daugh-
ter. The language of the face is very
plainly written, if one will only learn
to read it. think if girls knew this
if they took it to heart and believed
tit would be we'll for them. This
wish to look well is strong in all femi-
nine hearts with this end in view they
will starve or take bitter medicine, rub
bismuth or arsenic upon their faces,
cover their hands and foreheads with
sticky pastes on retiring, and forbid
themselves fresh, breezy walks or
pleasant sails for fear of tanning. Yet,
at the same time, they will think and
do many things which stamp an ex-
preston not to be coveted upon their
young faces, and quite forget that,
after all, the face is but vase which
the lamp of the soul illuminates, and
that the best beauty comes from with

How he Threw Her Love Away.
81 do not believe YOU"

81 do not believe you.
Ethelbert Mcclure WINGED as Myrtle
Hathaway spoke these words-cruel,
bitter words, that seemed to scar his
very soul as he stood there in the
cleaning, the time of silence and
shadows. The swallows were twitter-
ing among the leaves in their noisy
way, the ice cream lairs were casting
their baleful light across the broad
thoroughfare, from which the rattle,
the roar, and the crash of life in q
great city had just departed.
"You cannot mean it, Myrtle" the
young man says, his voice choked with
emotion. "You surely cannot doubt
my word-the word of one to whom
you have plighted your troth, and in
whose life your future is bound up"
But | do mean it" replied the girl,
although God knows my life would be
brighter, better, happier were it not so.
l have loved you with strong cous-
try-butter love that has become part
OF my very existence. And it is when
l have taught my heart to beat re-
sponsive TO your every word, when

the passionate trustfulness of wo-
mans nature, that you come TO me, and
here, on this beautiful June evening,
when the heavens are panoplied with
stars, and the air is balmy with the
perfume of roses, you say TO me that
you have never bet on horse race
you tell me this solemnly and earnestly,
knowing that my heart will not let me
Judge harshly any action of yours. No,
Ethelbert; l love you with madden

The opinion seems to be that the
forthcoming peach crop will not be so
large as recent reports would lead one
to suppose, but all the packers unite in
predicting a crop large enough to meet
all responsible demands. Peaches will
be cheap and plentiful and of good
quality, but no "gluts" are either anti
cipated or desired. This state of af-
fairs will be even more profitable to the
growers than if they secured full crops
and then had to bring the fruit to over
stocked markets. Judging in the light
ofpast seasons, the number of peaches
TO be packed this summer in Baltimore
will be about 100000 cases, or IA, ,400,-
900 cans, weighing 43,200,000 pounds
This enormous amount, which by some
is considered much too low an estimate,

God spake In voice OF thunder,
OF old from Sinais hill;
And the mystic words Of wonder
Thrill the belle er still;
He sees In the vault above him,
With the eye Of faith alone.
Gemmed round by the souls that love Him,
The great Creators throne.
He sees-in the day of danger
The column Of cloud that led
From the land OF the alien stranger
His Israel, whom he fed
And knows-tho' his footsteps wonder
Astray In the twilight land
That his home is building yonder,
By the one unerrlng hand.
lie sees, In the night Of peril,
The pillar OF fire that shone
From the hills of the pearl and beryl,
TO light Gods children on;
And feels that straight from heaven,
When the eye Of sense grows dim,
Shall grander sight be given
To all who trust In him.
on the page OF the mighty ocean
lie reads the mightier still
Who cuf fbs Its restless motion
By the law OF His royal viii;
And while in Its course diurnal
1t murmurs or sings or raves,
He lists TO the voice eternal,
In the language OF the waves.
He marks In the plants around him
The throbs OF a life their own,
While the worldless world that bound him
Whisper their undertone.
From the hawk and the hound yet clearer
lie hears the secret fall.
Which nearer to him and nearer
Brings the great God OF all.
In leaves that blow and perish
In the space OF a single hour
AS the love that most we cherish
Die like the frailest flower,
In the living thing whose living
Whlthers or e'er they bloom,
He reads OF the great thanksgiving
Which breathes from the open tomb.
The bright spring leave returning
To the stem whence autumn's fell,
And the heart OF summer burning
TO change at the winters spell,
The year that again repasses,
The grain that again revives,
Are signs on the darkened glasses
That bar and bound our lives
know how the glass must darken
To my visions more and more,
When the weak ear strains to harken,
When the faint eye gazes o'er,
But the glass shall melt and shiver,
Once kissed by the fighting breath,
And the light behind the river
Shine full In the face OF death.
Strong set in strong affection,
We look at the golden prime,
When mightler resurrection
Shall burst on the doubts OF time
And the thoughts OF all the sages,
Like the waves Of the fretful main.
At the base or the Rock OF Ages,
Shall foam and fume in vain.
