The Value of Pine Trees.

In the dark green foliage of the ever
living pine, science has discovered a tex
tile fabric, not only for the covering of
feecy bales of snowy cotton, but for
carpets, mating. and many other prod
ucts of the loom yet in their infancy,
but still to be brought to perfc ction.
The limbs and laps can be converted
into charcoal or distilled into rosin.
The bark and burrs are used for fuel,
the trunks for lumber and even the
sawdust is commercial product, VIII lie
the stump and roots will sell for more
as lightwood in any city than the whole
tree commands in its native forest
Poor, short-sightel mortals, who have
waited long for the day of deliverance,
cannot yet fully realize that it has come
at last. and that they have indeed
treasure in the matchle's pine forests of
Alabama. -Aia6an,a Mirror.

A Desirable Name,

'In the year 1864. says the Leeds
Eng) Mercury, :" on the 5th day of
December, the English ship Menai was
crossing the straits, and capsized in
gale. OF the eighty-one passengers on
board but one was saved his name was
Hugh Williams. Ono the same day, in
the year 1855, pleasure schooner was
wrecked on the Isle of Man. There
were sixty persons on the boat, among
them one Hugh Williams and family.
OF the threescorc none but old Hugh
Williams survived the shock. On the
5th day of August, 1920, picnicking
party on the Thames was run down by
a coal barge. There were twenty. five
of the picnickers, mostly children un-
der twelve years of age. Little Hugh
Williams, visitor from Liverpool,
only five years old, was the only one
that returned to tell the tale. Now
comes the most singular part of this
story: On the 10Th day of August, in
the year 1889. Leeds coal barge, with
nine men, foundered; two of them
both Hugh Williams, an uncle and
nephew-wero rescued by some fisher
men, and were the only men of the
crew who lived to tell of the calamity.
These are facts which can be substan-
tiated

Influence.

The morning broke upon sullen world;
A heavy mist encompassed sea and land;
The city's smoke hung low on every
hand;
The roses stood with velvet petals furled,
Like pouting maids with pretty lips half
curled,
Waiting, with dropping heads and cheeks
Unframed,
Their zephyr-lovers-a detected band;
While listlessly the languid windmill
whirled.
Then, suddenly, ray of golden light
Fell on the earth; the gray mist skunk
away,
The smoke sped upward in majestic flight,
The zephyrs sung a merry roundelay,
The roses laughed, the windmill whirred de-
light,
The sunbeams danced, and all the world
was gay.

A Plea For Unsung Flowers.

The poet sighs, with fearful eyes,
About the flowers dying
When autumns breath, o'er hill and heath,
Sends falling leaves a-fying.
He sings a song column long,
All of rose that's faded;
He prates of blooms consigned to tombs
By frost, until we're jaded.
The golden rod is ruthless trod
To earth by storm and raining;
The sight of it gives him fit,
And raises dire complaining.
When from the north the cold comes forth,
And slays the morning-glory,
He lifts his voice in painful noise,
And numbers lame and hoary.
Why won't he sing some useful thing,
Whose lifes cut short in autumn?
There plenty such, with quite as much
OF beauty, ere frost caught 'em.
The cornfield pea, as he might see,
Blooms prettier than the daisy;
And as food-stutf, its good enough
For rhymester, sane or crazy.
The mustard shows head that blows
Rare as aught sang in ballard;
Its incense sweet the wind does greet
And then, its good for salad.
The okra bloom-without perfume,
A fashion now in flowers
Bright red and cream, sure it would seem,
Would tempt poets powers.
A dirge chant for every plant
That sleeps on earth's cold bosom;
I would that they might with us stay,
weep when we lose 'em.
But those that bring some useful thing
Beside their bloom, are sighted;
Their virtues l extol, and try
Their wrongs to have arighted.

Commodore Vanderbilt.

Commodore Vanderbilt made 500, :
900, 900, beginning with no money and
very little education. He could write
his name, and that was about the extent
of his scholastic requirements. His
name which was good for any amount
on check, was not much to look at.
He could not pronounce the letter V,
and always called himself Vanderbilt.
A new clerk at the postoffice
greatly annoyed him by looking for
letters under the WIS. "Don't look
among the WIS; look among the Wees"
said the millionaire. At the age of so
the Commodore was a match for the
whole street. He opened all his own
letters, dictated his answers on the mar
gin, spent an hour in transacting bust
ness involving many millions and then
went to his stables. He was very proud
of his horses and liked to lead the road
and he generally did. Chicago Nal.
