Noah's Ark Wood.

Within radius Of sixty miles of
Nashville, Tenn, there is said to be
found tree that is said to be the
shittim wood of ark fame. Celebrated
botanists from all over the country
have examined the trees and agree
that they grow nowhere else ON the
globe. They have decided that it is
the shittem wood Of which Noah's
ark was constructed, mention of
which ismade several times in the
Bible. The tree is medium sized,
with very dark, smooth bark, and
the wood is of bright gold color.
In early spring the trees are laden
with long, white blossoms, closely
resembling great ostrich plumes.
There seems to be no doubt about the
identity of the trees, and it is re-
markable that they are found only in
this small area and so few at that.
The chief difference between the
savage and the civilized man is in
the power and the habit of self-con-
troll. The savage may be master
over other savages, but his own
feelings he never masters, and their
utterance he neither subdues nor
regulates. Civilization however and
experience teach men that both
should be cultivated. Some of the
emotions need development, some
restraint; all need training. They
are not all fit for utterance, nor O.
those that are is it wise to give al
unreservedly to the world.
