THE CHARTER OAK.

Historical Trees to BE Found In All Part
OF the World.
On August 20, 1856. was blown dowr
the famous oak called Charter Oak,
tree which for many years was the OBJ
ject of veneration, because it was be
lieved that it had been the means O.
saving the charter of the State of Con

ing some seventy feet in circumference
and capable of holding in its cavity not
fewer than thirty persons, was called
the Old Oak as far back as the days OF
William the Conqueror What is known
as the Salcey Forest Oak, really pict-
uresque ruin, and the object of many
pilgrimages, is supposed to be 1,500
years old. 1t measures forty-seven feet
round near the ground. and has cav
its fourteen feet eight inches. and is
twenty-nine feet in circumference in
side. The Chandos Oak, near South
gate, on the grounds of Michendon
House, is sixty feet high and eighteen
feet three inches in diameter. When in
full foliage it forms magnificent nat
ural canopy, and has the appearance of
a gigantic tent. In 1888. there fell to
the ground one of the oldest and most
honored trees in England. 1t was called
Magdalen Oak, or the Great Oak OF
Oxford. 1t was called the Old Oak by
way of distinction when Magdalen was
founded; and it was supposed to have
been a sapling when Alfred the Great
founded the university. There was at
one time on Mount Etna chestnut

1t was in the depth of winter and bitterly
cold, so that the medical man was anything
but pleased at the prospect of the long jour
ney. But what was his disgust on being
met at the Cracow Railway station by a
deputation of long coated Polish Jews,
bringing the tidings that he came too late,
as Moses Abrahamson had died few hours
beforel As there was no train back to
Vienna that day, he was perforce compelled
to put up for the night at hotel. Meanwhile
the news of the great Doctors arrival spread
through the town, and sick people of every
description, both Jews and Christians, be-
s!eged his door. So many afflicted persons
touched his compassionate heart, and he
freely gave them the advice they needed.
When at last he got to the station and was
about to step into the carriage, a Polish
jew came sliding up to him with knowing
smile on his face and whispered in his
ear:
II say, Doctor, / only want to tell you
that Moses Abrahams on isn't dead. Not
bit of it; he was among those patients
whom you cured for nothing. Wa shing.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
SrRAYED AWAY.

sweet little maiden not quite three years
With sun-bonnet tied over ringlets of gold;
Merry brown eyes that the sunshine turks
Two rosy cheeks and white dimpled chin;
Dcar chubby HANDS kissed quite brown by the
And voice like the brooks. full of laughter
and fun!
She left me this morn with kiss and a smile
And now has been gone such a weary long
Oh. tell me, good folks. have you seen her
Chasing bird. or n gay butterfly?
She carried a doll and a little blue basket
And My name is wee Elsie" she'd say, If
you'd ask it.
She may have gone down where the chatter
ing brook
Runs round on itself with a queer little
And watching the fish in the shadows at
Perhaps She forgot she was running away,
Or it may be the fairies, by some mystic
Have lured her away to their haunts in the
dell.
II once they find out what a darling she IS
j fear they will keep her to love and to kiss.
Perhaps she lay down somewhere under a
Where the leaves with the sunbeams are
And gazing way up at the blue summer sky.
To watch the white clouds as they sail slowly
by,
She, too, may have sailed into dreamland
away
wonder, wonder how long VIII she stay?
Oh if you should see her, pray tell her from
me
That mammals as lonesome as lonesome can
be:
And if she has gone with the fairies to stay,
Or of into dreamland has drifted away,
Ill have to adopt some poor wandering elf
Why, who was It that kissed me? IT'S Elsie
herself.

THE THiBETANS.

Men and Women Who DO Not Believe 10
the Free Use of Water.
The Thibetaas who live in the val
leys are not as rule fine men physi.
cally, but the highlanders. or hill men,
such as the shepherds, ETC., up in the
high Thibetan Mountains, are massive
beaur hommes, having somewhat the
appearance of having been hewn out of
solid blocks The people of the valleys
are more or less idle gossips, disliking
work intensely. The men do not work
in the fields except blowing, and few
who can afford to pay another to do It
for them will do even that much.
When not in repose-i. e., when not alb
solutely doing nothing-the men occu-
py themselves by sewing, spinning,
looking after the mules. horses and cat.
tie, but above all in attending TO the
petty business of the family. The
women SOW, irrigate, weed, cut the
harvest. thrash, winnow, carry the
grain to the granary and do all the
household work as well. If there are
loads to be carried the women carry
them. If a man be asked to carry a
big case or heavy load he is certain, on
seeing it, to say at once: That! that's
a women's load" and of the baggage
he will select the smallest parcel he can
find as his burden. In the pasturages.
the women milk, make the butter and
look after the fiocks when these are
grazing near the tents or encampment.
The men herd the flocks when grazing
at distance. The women ride as we'll
as the men, and in the same fashion.
From constantly throwing stones at the
cattle the women are adopts at this,
and can and do make it very unpleas-
ant for any person who may have irri-
tated them into putting their science
into practice. Dirt is the ruling
feature everywhere in Thibetan houses
holds. 1t pervades their houses and
their persons, prevails in their customs,
and gives a tone to and bears fruit in
their speech. A European, an English
official in India, once desiring to see
the real color of the. Thibetan skin.
paid the parents of child to have it
washed in hot water, several waters,
and with an unlimited supply of soap.
Every effort was made in vain, the skin
could not be reached through such an
armor plating Of dirs. 1t is said with
every show of truth that it would be
quite impossible to wash an adult
Thibetan down to the skin. The beau
ty of woman in Thibet consists in her
being stout, broad. thick-set and heavi-
iy membcred. and the accomplishments
to be desired are that she should be
above all things audacious, good
hand at bargain and at repartee; in
fact a typical Billingsgate virago, if
massive enough, would pass as Venus
in Thibet--Nineteenh Century.

WHY HE COMES NOT.

She stands mt the garden gate tonight;
No word does the maiden speak,
But her eyes are fun OF an anxious light.
And teardrop CLEANS like diamond bright
On the rose OF her velvet cheek.
The sun in his glory has long since set,
The robin has ceased his song;
With the falling dew the leaves are wet,
The hour Is past and he comes not yet,
Oh, why does he stay so iongf
In vain she seeks to restrain her tears
As the precious moments fleet;
And her heart is filled with doubts and fears,
As she listening stands and strains her ears
For the sound of her lovers feet.
Oh, beauteous maid at the garden gate,
pity thy woeful plight;
But get thee in, for the hour is late,
For thy lovers coming no longer wait,
He will not appear tonight.
Fain would the youth to thy side have flown,
But he hadn't change of clothes,
For his washerwoman her patience gone,
To his shirts and collars and cuffs hold on
TIL he pays up the bill he owes.
