Blasting Trees.

The woodman with his axe makes
a pretty figure in poetry, but he is
much too slow for the street contrac-
tor. During the progress of the work
in extending the streets in the north
western section of the city of Washing
ton, it has been found necessary to
remove large number of Of sturdy
oak trees, and it was at once decided
to blast them out. While it has been
common to remove stumps by blast
ing, the blasting of entire trees is a
novelty which has attracted large
crowds to the scene of operations.
the process consists of combining with
in a cavity directly beneath tree can
containing eight to ten pounds ofJud-
son powder, which is fired by the use
ola fuse. Whenthe explosion occurs a
dull rumbling sound is heard and the
huge tree is lifted into the air. The
powder used for this work is slow in
its action, and lifts trunk, stump and
all from the ground. The contractor
says that while dynamite is quicker
in action, that it would not produce
such satisfactory results.

His Affectlonate Mammals Desire.

A lad in school was found guilty
of a serious infraction of discipline,
and was directed by his teacher to
tell his mother when he got home
what misdemeanor he had commit
ted. The next morning the school
marin called Johnny to her desk,
when the following dialogue ensued.
"Well, Master Johnny, did you in
form your mother what infraction
ofdiscipline you were guilty of yester-
day, and the reprimand and punish
ment you received?" "Yes'm,"
was the sententious reply. "Well,
and what did your mother say?"
"She said she'd like to ring your neck
for you" No more discipline reports
were sent home to that mother.

How to Make Yourself Unhappy.

In the first place, if you want to
make yourself miserable, be selfish.
Think all the time of yourself and
your things. Don't care about any
thing else. Have no feelings for any
but yourself. Never think of enjoy
ing the satisfaction of seeing Others
happy, but rather if you see a smil-
ing face be jealous lest another should
enjoy what you have not. Envy
every one who is better off than your
self; think unkindly of them and
speak lightly ofthem. Be constantly
afraid lest some one should encroach
upon your rights; be watchful, and
if anyone should come near you snap
at them like mad dog. Contend
earnestly for everything that is your
own that may not be worth a pin.
Never yield a point. Be very sensi-
tive and take everything that is said
to you in playfulness in themost seri.
Gus manner. Bejealous ofyourfrien
lest they should not think enough OF
you, and if at any time they should
seem to neglect you put the worst con.
struction upon their conduct.

The English Sparrow.

The Federal Department of Agri-
culture has collected large amount
of material to be issued in bulletins
showing the relations of several spe-
cies of birds common in this country
to agriculture. The evidence collect
ed will have a strong tendency in
some cases to upset widely prevalent
notions respecting the habits and
value of certain birds, and, in others,
to lead to organized efforts for the
mitigation or extinction of pests that
threaten destruction to valuable
branches of agriculture. In the latter
category DIR. G. H, Merriam, the
head of the division, places the Eng
lish Sparrow as chief. This bird was
imported with q flourish of praise
some years ago, as an agent for the
protection of shade trees from the
ravages of caterpillers, inch-wOrms
and other creeping things, and has so
multiplied and developed among its
surroundings as to become, DIR. Mer-
riam thinks, vastly greater scourge
than the one it was expected to coun-
teract. The present rate of increase
is enormous, and the new territory
which it invades is estimated at more
than 10000, square miles annually.

The other day as two well known
citizens were standing together in the
corridor of the post Office one happen

to the holder.
"Why, how does this Gomez" was

"That's funny"
"Well, not so very. See the other

Quaint Memories of Old Times.

Here are some of "reminiscences of
Capt. Isaac Bassett, the venerable
assistant boorkeeper of the Senate:
"In olden days candles were used in
the Senate, and sperm candle in a
common brass candlestick stood on
each senator's desk. These and two
large brass oil lamps on either side of
the Vice-President formed the whole
light of the chamber. [ had to fill
these lamps every day, and we pages
had to put the candles and candle
sticks on each senator's desk. The
pages had to go around the Senate
during the evening and snuff the
candles. For this we used big iron
shutters, and during a long night ses-
sion we would use two candles, and in
the middle of it we would have to
take out the old ones and light new
ones. A night session of the Senate
in the past formed a weird scene.
The Pickering shadows would fall
upon the senator's face as he spoke,
and whenthe light burned low forms
would be hardly distinguishable.
The mellow lamps cast softened
light over the marble of the chamber,
and made the whole look like q
ghostly Senate, presided over by q
spectre Vice President"
