Mr.. Samuel Howard relates curious
story about one tree growing on the in
side Of another, which he discovered on
his farm some time ago. He had occa-
sion to cut down large black locust
tree, which was found to be hollow, and
in the hollow of the locust tree grew an
other tree, of different kind, which was
ten inches in diameter and about twenty
feet high, and had put forth several
branches, though they were encompassed
in a very small space. The inside tree
was alive and seemed quite thrifty, but
how 1T grew and fourished in so small
space, without air or light, is a mystery
to him.-lMt. Sterling Ky Democrat.

Uncle Jake Vanderbilt of Staten Island,
who is not particularly liked by many
Staten Islanders in favor Of progress and
cheap ferriage, is noted for racing on
Harlem Lane at full speed, though blind
as an owl, and if overset and thrown out
he clings to the lines, is dragged on, and
sweeps the road. He says horses have
not got the staying powers they had years
ago. He thinks the deficiency lies in
the oats. Queer old man that. Reminds
one more Of the old Commodore than any
of the family now living.

A gentleman of this town, says the
Crittenden (Ky.) Press, having recently
made 2 trip through Webster county
tells nd Of . man he met who has never
taken drink of water, though now IS
years of age. His name is Thomas Law.
ton; and he is kinsman of w. c. Car.
nahan of this place, and Mr.. Carnahan
vouches for the truth of the statement
that he never drank water. Mr.. Lawton
says he has no desire whatever for the
purest beverage known to creation;
neither has he any inclination to partake
of it in any of the adulterated forms.
He has had raging fevers and shaking
chills, but nothing in his composition
calls for drink. He drinks milk for its
nourishing virtues, and coffee as q pre-.
ventive for painters collie, for he is a
painter by trade. He once drank some
mineral water, taking it rs a tonic, but
the fluid was 80 repugnant to his taste
that he did not remain long at the
springs. His diet consists chiefly of fruit
and vegetables; meat he never eats. He
has sister who drinks but little water.

Coquettes are like cats; they love pet
ting. This accounts for sparks in the
dark. Always make a friend of q
coquette before you fall in love with her.
Then you can corner her when she says,
But let me be your friendr-A coquette
can play her cards just as we'll when you
are holding her hand. Indeed, this is
her first trick. After all, there is one
nice thing about a coquette. She and

being called daisy. Il Life.a.

whereas is fact, it is an industry far
reaching and important in its relations te
almost every factorof National progress
and prosperity. From its most active
and alluring aspects gold and silver min.
ing have been given unusual prominence,

owed other branches Of the same business
Of equal If not greater Importance. Justly
understood and correctly estimated min
ing is a term which covers every activity
which has for its object the utilization Of
the mineral products Of the earth; and
this general characterization many under
branches Of manufacture can be traced to
this one center from which its life and
vitality is drawn. Blot out the industry
Of mining and the shadows Of death will
fall with paralyzing gloom upon the pros.
porous activity Of score Of other lines Of
business which claim to be independent,
and are classed under the head Of regular
industries. The great artery of the min.
ing industry throb through and give
life to the greater body Of our National
enterprise and prosperity. The agricul.
tural, manufacturing, transportation and
the financial interests of this country are
identified and largely dependent upon
the successful development Of the great
mineral resources that have been 80
beautifully bestowed to insure the high
EFT advancement of the millions that shall
occupy the wide spreading territories Of
the New World. Based then, as are the
foundations of National prosperity and
stability. and the basis of our financial
system, upon the corner stone Of tho Wit.
ally important industry Of mining, it is
clearly evident that the fact should DO

it and other interests SO that the best re.
suits may be received from its grand and

results. The magnitude and Importance :.
Of the mineral resources Of this continent
and their intimate relations to every
form Of industrial and financial activity,
has never yet been fully comprehehded
or realized by the favored people who are
the recipients Of such magnificent and
lasting lbene8ts. This mighty meteor,
