POETRY or THE PERIOD.
TIE USFRUITFUL TREE
BY EDEN Il. RExFoRD.

BY EDEN Il. RExFoRD.
There stood in beautiful garden
A tall and stately tree;
Crowned withits shining LEAKAGE,
It was wondrous fair TO see.
But the tree was always fruitless,
Never a blossom grew
On Its long and beautiful branches
The whole bright season through.
The lord Of the garden saw It,
And he said, when the leaves were sere
"Cut down this tree so worthless,
And plant another here.
My garden is not for beauty
Alone, but for fruit as well
And no barren tree must cumber
The place in which dwell"
The gardener heard in sorrow
For he loved the barren tree
As we love some things about us
That are only fair TO see
t'LeaVe 1t one season longer
Only one more, pray"
He pleaded; but the master
Was firm, and answered, MAY"
Then the gardener dug about It
And cut the roots apart,
And the fear of the fate before 1t
Struck home TO the poor trees heart.
Faithful and true to his master,
Yet loving the tree so we'll,
The gardener toiled in sorrow
Till the stormy evening fell.
Tomorrow" he said, 81 will finish =
The task that ! have begun"
But the morrow was wild with tempest,
And the work remained undone.
And through all the long, bleak winter
There stood the desOlate tree,
With the cold, white snow about 1t,
A sorrowful thing to see.
At last the sweet spring weather
Made glad the hearts of men;
And the trees In the lords fair garden
Put forth their leaves again.
81 will finish my task tomorrow"
The busy gardener said,
And thought with a thrill of sorrow,
That the beautiful tree was dead
The lord came into his garden
At an early hour next day,
And then to the task unfinished
The gardener led the way,
And 10 all white with blossoms,
Fairer than ever to see,
In its promise Of coming fruitage
There stood the beautiful tree
at is well, ," said the lord of the garden,
And he and the gardener knew
That out of its loss and trial
Its promise of fruitfulness grew,
1t is SO with EOme lives that cumber
For time the Lords domain;
Out of Trial and mighty sorrow
There eOmeth a countless gain,
And fruit for the Masters pleasure
Is born of love and pain.

ROSH ~AASHANNAH.

The year 5646 commenced Wednesday
night last and the Hebrews throughout
the world met it in prayer and p~enitence
for the past. This nation. with the in
scrutable wisdom guiding its destiny,
counts on year after year waiting-for
what! At all events, it keeps up the
memories OF the past and maintains its
notable advance toward . brilliant future.
Wednesday night, Thursday morn, noon
and eve and Friday morning were marked
with New Years impressive ceremonies.
Every morning for some days before and
for eight days after propitiatory prayers
are recited among the Germans, while
among the Portuguese such prayers are
read every evening for a month before
and q week after, while service the day
before New Years an atonement is read
before daylight besides. The FIRST ten
days of the year are called the ten days
of penitence. the last of which is the Day
of Atonement. The ceremonies of the
new year, or Rosh Hashannah, to use the
Hebrew term, include the sounding of
the shofar in the s~ynagogues. to remind
the congregation of the approach of the
great fast day, and bid them make their
peace with heaven Oh the great holy day
of the year. White is q distinguishing
color in synagogucs for those holy days,
and the ladies are supposed to wear white
in their dress. especially on the Atone
ment Day. The prayers are remarkable
in their liberality of tone; there is prayer
for mankind's regeneration and the estab.
lishment of the Messianic age Of uni.
versal peace and brotherhood. May 5646
walk hand in hand with 1885 to its goal.

CONCERNING CIGARETTE sMOK.
INA.

There does not seem to be any special
harm in cigarette smoking. The roll Of
tobacco is so little that it looks as if it
could hurt nobody. Perhaps it is just
because there is so little genuine
clean tobacco in ordinary cigarettes that
they are so injurious. And they are
not so small as they look. Break one,
and put the alleged tobacco in it into a
pipe Of ordinary size, and you will find
the pipe nearly full. Yet thousands Of
boys and young men smoke from ten to
thirty cigarettes q day, and think they
are not exceeding reasonable limits.
Major Houston, of the Marine Corps,
who is in charge of the Washington Navy
Yard Barracks, says that one.fifth Of all
the boys examined are rejected on &C.
count Of heart disease. His first ques.
tion to a boy who desires to enlist is:
"Do you smoke!" The almost ~invaria.
BILE response is "no, SIR" but the tell.
tale discoloration of the fingers fire.
quently shows the truth. The surgeons
say that cigarette smoking by boys pro-
duce heart disease, and that in SO cases
out Of 100 the rejection Of would.be ap-
prentices on account of this defect comes
from the excessive use of the milder form
OF the weed. This is q remarkable state.
ment, but coming as it does from such
high authority, it cannot be denied.
In some OF the New York stores and
Offices is posted this notice: "Do not
smoke cigarettes here" This notice is
printed fact which Of itself shows
that q considerable number of these
signs is required. One may smoke cigars
in such places, or even q pipe, but
cigarettes are prohibited.
To one who dislikes tobacco and the
smell Of it in any form. all smoke may
seem alike distasteful; but there is about
cigarette smoke . sort Of ~insinuating,
sickishly sweet sort Of odor that is pecu.
liarly offensive. This may be due to the
opium with which so many of the made
cigarettes are favored; but whatever is
the cause, it is evidence that the cigar.
cites are not all tobacco, or even tobacco
and paper.
The consumption OF cigarettes is almost
entirely by boys and young men under
twenty-five; and that is one Of the great
evils of them. 1t is 30 easy to learn to
smoke that scores contract the habit who
never would undertake but once to smoke
o cigar. But boys have no business to
smoke. The physiological effect OF
tobacco is to deter the change of tissue
which is necessary to growth; and if a
boy begins young enough to smoke. he is
pretty sure to stunt himself. If smok-
ing must be done, and we suppose il
always will be, more or less, let it be
done by men, and in the form Of cigars
or pipes. Cigarettes are nothing but an
injury to the consumers and q nuisance
to everybody else.

owes q great deal OF money and has no
chance Of paying. He gets hold Of $40
and tries his luck at faro. By chance he
runs his capital up to $50. and then begins
TO bet sums OF $25. He wins again and is
soon able to play the limit. Being reck-
less and desperate he simply guesses; he
bangs his money in q way to either break
himself or make several hundred. Very
soon he has $500 or 5000, and draws out.
He pays his debts and the bank never has
q chance TO win the money back, because
the most that man will have at q time lie
S. or $40. The bank will have to play
nfty or Q hundred times to get Il all
back, and he will have as many

Impure River Water.

II appears that impure drinking
waters contain bacteria in numbers
proportloned to their degree of impur-
ity. Acting upon this fact, MN.
Proust and Fauvel had been cultivat-
ing various river waters in gelatine,
and afterward, by the use of a micro
scope constructed for the purpose,
have succeeded in counting the number
of microscopic organisms in each cubic
centimeter of the fluid. The water
of the Vaune, which is considered
good, contained 1000 bacteria. The
Seine water was found to contain
242, 900 of the organisms, thus justify
ing the serious complaints made
against it. The result arrived at by
the microscope are in exact accord
with those obtained by tho ordinary
and expensive chemical

A Well of Castor Oil.

What there is just inside the little
earthly crust of this old globe of ours
will probably never be known In the
old-fashiOned- theolog ies it was con-
sidered prison or hospital for all the
small gods that the big gods knocked
cut but couldn't quite kill. After the
heather deities ceased to be looked up
to by anybody but poets and artists,
our religious ancestors fixed up the
interior of the earth and converted it
into a residence for Satan. And now
this idea is nearly exploded, and men
don't know much more about the
place than they did 1900 years ago.
Now and then volcano or an earth
quake will shake up something new,
and miners occasionally strike fresh
fact and bring it up to light, at the
risk of having it taken to some learned
professor, who will call it such hard
name that nobody will ever try to pro-
nounce it.
Mr.. William Gutchess, farmer of
Port Byron, dug well on his prem
ises last fall, and when he got to where
the water was due he struck OIL And
it wasn't kerosene, either, but real
good, sweet castor oil, such as his
mother used to give him when he had
the Group. Instead of running off to
some chemist with a sample of it, he
took a bottle of it to his neighbors.
and they all said it was as good rs
could be bought at the drug store for
81 pint. The whole country around
there is said to have caught the craze
and gone to digging wells.--Boston
