The SeckeI Pear-The original Tree.

The Seckel is a small pear, but it stands at
the head OF the long list of pears, as it is not
equaled by any in point OF quality-indeed,
it has long been regarded by pomolOgists as
the standard Of excellence. Like the great
majority of fine pears, this is a chance seed
ling. The story Of its origin, as related to
Downing by Bishop White, is that in the
bOyhOOd OF the latter now over a century
ago. there was. in Philadelphia, a we'll
known sporting character, one Dutch
Jacob" vino on his return from his
autumnal hunting expeditions, pre-
sened his friends with some very
chO ce pears, but would never tell
whtre they came from. After a time,
Dutch Jacob purchased the land upon
which the pear tree stood. The tract soon
after became part of the farm os a Mr.
Seckel, who introduced the pear TO public
notice. and it received his name The
original tree still stands, and we were pleased
10 receive not long ago, from Mr.. John g.
Browne Of Philadelphia A photograph he
had taken Of the parent Seckel pear tree and
the Seckel house. The property is situated
in the southern part of the city of Philadel-
phia, in a locality known as The Neck -
very close To Girard Point, where the Schuyl-
kill empties into the Delaware River The
old tree Is still bearing fruit, but in small
quantity. The trunk is much decaved and
can not last many years longer.

Some Hints for the Guest Chamber.

rectiOnS. Possibly the idea of few simple
articles of absolute necessity originated IN

Prophets chamber-the bed, the table, the
stool, the candlestick, were in all proba-
bility the usual number of pieces allowed TO
a home, even in homes of the Wealty, in
those days. But now when guests are re-
ceived. they should at last be treated as we'll
a the family, and even a little extra attention
would not be amisS. Have the room as pleas
amt and che cry as possible. Ii there is closet
in it, do not think it necessary to ill il up
with the family garments that look 10 the
visitors eye as if they were destined to hang
there for years. A guest does not enjoy liv-
