Once there was a silly ass Who came
daily to his masters table to gather
the crumbs and frequently large pieces
of cornbread and other wholesome food
with which the table was furnished.
There we're many guests who came to
the table, and the master tried to please
them all. One day he put a nice red
pepper pod at the dish of guest he
knew it WAS appropriate for. When the
ass came to the table he thought the
pepper pod was intended for him, and
without further delay took it in his
mouth. Then he few into q passion
and tried to kick over the table. Fail
ing in that he withdrew sulkily and went
to the garbage heaps and nibbled at the
straw, dirt and refuse thrown there,
thinking, in his stupidity, that he was
hurting the master and the reputation
of his table when he was only starving
himself and becoming the laughing
stock of all the other guests.
Moral-Sometimes a man will find in
his well filled paper an article intended
for another person, but he takes it to
himself; and because it does not sait his
taste he flies into a passion and shouts,
stop my paper" and, like the silly asa,
reads trash and garbage or nothing at
all.

the AGE OF TREEs.

The cypress affords an instance where
the approximate certainty of its intro
duction into England enables us to
form some conclusions with regard to
its available age. The facts of its being
first mentioned in Turner'S "Names Of
Herbs" published in 154s, makes it prob
able that it was not introduced into
England before the beginning of that
century. But at all events the cypress
at Fulham, which in 1913 was 2 feet 5
inches at three feet from the ground,
cannot have been planted there before
1874, the year that Compton, the great
introducer OF foreign trees into England
IN the seventeenth century. became
Bishop of London. That gives q growth
of two feet in the first century; but
sometimes 1t attains higher rate, as in
the case of the cypress planted by Mich
aei Angelo at Chartreux, which was
lS feet IN circumference in 1917, giving
the average rate of over four feet in the
first three centuries. Now the cypress
az Somma, between Lake Maggiore and
Milan, Tor whose sake Napoleon bent
the road out OF straight line, is not
more than . feet in girth, 60 that the
tradition which makes its planting
co-eval with Christianity would seem
doubtful; though if we take three feet
as the first century's growth, and take
the, third as the average, il may evident
" have been standing in the time
of Cesar, as an old chronicle Of Milan
Is averred to attest. The Lebanon cedar
first planted at Lambeth in 1853 was
only feet 3 inches fgirth measure
ments alone need be given ITO years
later. DIR. Uvedale's cedar, planted at
Enfield not earlier than 1910, was Is
feet inches when measured in 1885,
=. e, f65 years after. And the large
cedar at Uxbridge. which was blown
down in 1790. was lis years old when
Gilpin measured il in ZIG, and he
found it to be Ii feet inches. We
should therefore be justified In assum-
ing II feet as the possible first century's
growth OF cedar even in England;
whence We may test the probability of
the Oldest cedars now on Mount Leban-
on having been growing there since the
days OF King solomon. In the year l696
the traveller Mandrell measured one of
the largest Of them and found il 10 be
II yards 6 inches. Four feet a century
being the average rate, the cedar meas
nred by Mandreil would have required
only nine centuries TO have acquired its
dimensions of 36 fest, 80 that il need
have been no older than the time of
ChariemsRne. and, allowing fer q more
rapid growth ON the site where il is in
dlgenous, may probably have been con-
siderably younger.
