Largest Tree In the World.

Notwithstanding the wonderful d.
mensions Of California trees, the reputed
largest tree in the work Is not to be
found among them. but is situated in
Mascoli, near the foot Of Mount Etna.
II is called the Chestnut Tree Of q
Hundred Horses" and moreover is be-
heyed to be one Of the oldest trees in
the world. Its name arose from the re-
port that Queen Jane Of Arrsgon, with
her principal nobility, took refuge from
q violent storm under its branches. At
one time it was supposed that it con-
sisted Of clump of trees united, but on
digging away the earth ths root was
found entire at no great depth. Five
enormous branches ariss from one great
trunk, which Is two hundred and twelve
feet in circumference. A part Of the
trunk has been broken away and It's in
terror Is hollow, and Is large enough to
contain . flock Of sheep or two car
riages driven abreast through II. Il
still bears an abundance Of fruit, and
Its collectors have built Q hut within
the trunk, the better to promote their
work.-[Prairie Farmer.

Organized Female Thieves.

A new method of stealing has Just
been detected at Vienna, Austria. A
number Of women established employ
ment offices for placing shop-girls, and
succeeded in gaming the confidence Of
numerous store.keepers. Tho young
ladies they recommended were first In.
structed to rob their employers and hand
over the proceeds Of their thefts to the
agents. The latter made regular rounds
every day. On entering a store the
agent would make small purchase, FOR
which she would pretend to pay with a
largo note. The fictitious difference,
consisting of money stolen, was then
openly placed on the couater and
pocketed by the agent. Tho latter re-
tanned fifty cents or 81 Of every days
takings Of each girl and paid the re-
mainder to the latter. The whole gang
is now in custody. The occurrence may
lead to the introduction Of our system
of q cashiers desk in every store to re-
place the ordinary money drawer, ae-
cessible to every employe. The losses
Of some Of the store-keepers are esti-
mated at So, 900 to $4,000.

$500 Picturesque Islands

My visit to Japan has been q delight.
full one from first to last. The surface
Of the country is broken and diversified,
and the scenery in some parts may be
called. picturesque and beautiful. As
you traverse the country, mountains are
almost always in sight. The valleys and
plains are uader high cultivation, and
the soil productive. A great system Of
horticulture rather than of agriculture
may be said to prevail, for the land is
for the most part broken up into small
patches of rice and cotton and millet,
and variety of garden vegetables, so
that large districts have the appearance
Of one great garden adjoining the vii
lages, o. with humble lodges or homes
scattered among the fields. Everything
here, from tho people to the national
territory, seems to be on rather q
small scale. Japan, with its $500
stands and its $1,000, 900 of peo-
pie, has q national territory of only
i51, 900 square miles or q little more
than three times the area of the state Of
New York. Hence the population In
many portions of the country is very
dense The japanese are an industrious
people, with simple habits and few
wants The laboring classes wear but
little and cheap clothing, and are salts
fed with very nmple food. A cup Of
tea, little rice q few vegetables and .
bit of dried fis6 make for them q salts
factory meal. But they strike me as q
very genial and kindly people, much
more so than the Chinese, as / have
seen them on the Pacific coast. They
seem to enjoy their domestic and social
life. They are rapidly becoming an IN
teliigent people, willing not only to re-
ceiye, but anxious and ambitious to OBJ
tain knowledge.-[Nsw York Eyange-

Al Generous Landlord.

Baron Vorwarts has near Stayenhagen,
in Mecklenburg, an estate Of about five
thousand acres. II is chiefly devoted to
wheat and beet root, and Is worked by
It's owner on form Of corporation; and
although the times arc bad he is
stili able to make a good profit on the
capital value Of his estate he is his
own farmer BE pays very small wages
In money, but the laborer is provided
with house, supply Of corn, piece
of grazing land, the means Of education,
and other advantages which enable him
to live In comfort. The baron is con
tent with four per cent. interest as his
own share, and once in ten years he
divides the remainder or the profits in
equitable proportions among the peas
antry. AT the last division, which took
place in 1884, as much as 5000 or $3.50
fell to the share Of single family. This
excellent landlord lives among his poo
PIE, and has so completely identified
himself with their well.being that the
peasants do not speak Of "the baroa's
wheat or horses" but of 'car wheat
and "our horses" The baron believes
that so far as agriculture is concerned
he has discovered the means of harmon
izing the interests Of capital with those
Of labor. --[Chicago News.

Historian Bancroft's Longevity.

Mr.. George Bancroft accounted for
his own longevity the other day with
three reasons: First, that hs was the
middle child in his fathers family,
equally distant from the youngest to the
Oldest; second, that he had always
gone to bed at ten o'clock, unless Il had
been impossible; and, third, that he
had spent four hours in each day in the
open air, unless prevented BY q storm.
He added that his riding, Of which tho
newspapers had made so much, was
primarily for the purpose Of being out
Of doors, and not Of being on horse
back.
