The counting of the rings added by
exogenous trees every year to their cir.
conferences a only, without risk of
great error, be applied to trees cut down
in their prime, and hence is useless
for the older trees which are hollow and
decayed. Trees, moreover, often de-
velop themselves SO unequally from
their center that, as in the case of a
specimen in the museum at Kew, there
may be about two hundred and fifty
rings on one side to fifty on the other.
Perhaps the largest number of rings
that has ever been counted was in the
case of an oak felled in 1912, where
they amounted to seven hundred and
ten; but De Candolle, who mentions
this. adds that three hundred years
were added to this number as probably
covering the remaining rings which it
was no longer possible to count. This
instance may be taken to illustrate how
unsatisfactory this mode of reckoning
really is for all but trees of comparative.
ly youthful age.
The external girth measurement is to,
these reasons the best we can have,
being especially applicable where the
date of q trees introduction into a coun-
try or of its planting is definitely fixed,
since it enables us to argue from the
individual specimen or from . number
of specimens, not with certaintv, but
within certain limits of variability, to
the rate of growth of that tree as a
species. In these measurements of
trees OF q century or more in age, such

A Very Self. Willed Horse.

1nere Is an OLD nursery rhyme which
teaches that kindness and patience are
the best methods to pursue in the case
Of a donkey that wouldn't CO." An
English gentleman relates that he had q
horse that ''worldn't CO." but when he
came to try the patience remedy he
found that the horse had a larger sup
ply of that virtue than he himself DOS
sessed. which, as will presently be seen,
was considerable.
The English gentleman's hors, was a
confirmed ''balker." One Saturday af-
ternOOn, when he was returning home
in his dOg-cart, the horse baked, as it
had often done before, and its master
thought that this time he would try
what calmness and patience would
do. Accordingly he sat still in the
dOg-cart, and addressed the animal in
soothing tones and kindly words; but
to no purpose. 1t was exactly ten min
utes past four on Saturday afternoon
when the horse stopped in the middle
of the road.
The afternoon wore away. the sun
sank below the horizon, darkness set
tied down over the landscape, and yet
b man and horse remained to fight
out the battle between Obstinacy and
patience. Through the long night they
staid there, the whip remaining quietly
in the socket, and when the sun arose
after his voyage around the world he
found the contest still going On.
At six O'Clock in the morning the
owner babe Ms groom fetch a car rope
and tie it to the horses fore-leg; but
when the groom did 50, and pulled with
all his might, the only result was that
the horse stood with his fore-leg stuck
out IS if 1t were q bronze statue. At
seven O'Clock the horse became perfect
ly furious, selling the shaft with his
teeth, and shaking it, kicking and
stamping with rage the while. At half
past eve the groom tried to tempt
him with q measure of oats, but the
angry beast would have none of il, not
outstanding that it was twenty hours
since he had had q mouthful of food or
q drop of water. 5a

was concerned. 1t was then twenty |
minutes before eight on Sunday morn |

hours and a half during which the |
horse did not bulge an inch, nor his |
owner stir from his seat in the carriage. |

VIRGINIA.

ALEXANDRIA, Nov. Especial I,
the Picayune: Returns come showing
steady and large Democratic gains
The Democrats gain members Of the
House of Delegates in Culpeper, Fan
fax, Princess Ann, Charlotte and Hen
ry. We are expecting popular
Democratic majority of $1,000 and
upward. There is Democratic gain
of $50 in Petersburg, Mahone's home
Reports continue to come in at head
quarters of the Democratic Commit
tee with large Democratic gains. The
gains SO far assure both houses tC
the Democracy. The Democrats are
certain now of 22 Senators out of 30
with fair chances for several Other
districts. They have gained so fal
ten Delegates, and need only one
more to secure a majority. The
Democratic counties are coming il
strong. There are no losses of Demo
cratic counties.

The Result in Monroe.

The election in Old Monroe re-
suited in the success of the entire
Democratic ticket as nominated and
placed in the field by the County
Convention of July 2Sth, by MAORI
ties ranging from 800 to l,l00. 1t
was confronted by ticket gotten up
at the Athens Camp Ground, which
contained several worthy gentlemen,
some of whom had heretofore been
honored by the Democracy of the
county, and which would have re-
ceived u more liberal vote but for
the fact that it was supported and
bolstered up by the Republicans and
independents who have fought us at
every election since 1879. This
ticket was called by me,''The True
Democracy" but when the voters of
Old Monroe observed that every ele-
