Facts About the Birch.

The birch is capable of supporting a
much greater degree of cold than any
other tree. In the old world its north
ern limit is II degrees upon the west
and So degrees upon the east coast; in
America its northern limit is GA degrees
upon the west and 5s degrees upon the
east In Germany the highest eleva-
tion at which it is found is $500 feet
above the level of the sea; in Sweden
8 900 feet and in Lapland l, 1872 feet. 1T
is worthy Of remark that this tree de-
creases in size not only as it advances
toward the north but also as it proceeds
southwark beyond the limits OF Its
native region. 1t attains it's highest
perfection and greatest height IN Ger
many and southern Sweden. Ihe bircn
is not particular in its choice OF soil or
situation, and will grow almost equally
well in sandy, rocky, dry or damp soil

bear Mohammedan names and in every
village there is mosque. As Christian
subjects in the Ottoman Empire they
are exempt from military service, pay

RECRUITING FOR HAREMS.
How the Girls Are Trained and Where
They Are Taken From.

The Revue Britannique contains an
article descriptive of the training OF
girls for harems. Their education IS
begun at very early age, children Of
from seven to ten years being usually
chosen for the purpose. The girls are
then sent to regular harem school,
where they are educated and taught
various accomplishments Those in
tended for the Sultan's harem are
taught music and French; if, however,
as they grow older, they are found to he
stupid or wanting in good looks, they
are sold as slaves to the lower nobility
Girls from Persia and Afghanistan arc
in great demand, particularly from the
latter country. Circassians generally
supply the Turkish slave market, not
only with their own children, but with
girls who have been stolen in their in
fancy from Russia and the Roumanian
provinces of Hungary. The Gypslos, 1t
! is stated, up to the present time entice
Young children away from their homes
and travel with them to the market OF
| Ton Homo. where there is constant
demand for good looking girls Some
few years ago these thefts became so
common that the Hungarian Govern
ment instituted an inquiry into the
subject, and since then the trade has
decreased, but it is still carried on
secretly to certain extent. One of the
rules of the sultanic harem is that
when a slave has reached the age OF
twenty five and does not meet with the
approval of the Sultan she is immedl
ately removed and married to one o.
the court officials, whose taste is no
consulted, hut who acquiesces in the
inevitable with truly Oriental inditter
ence.

you can imagine the effect Of tho
bird-shot in the face of a robus. and
hungry panther. 1t simply maddened
MIN. The beast prepared to spring
upon the women, but could do nothing
with only an empty shotgun. At nv
first shot Mrs. Birgin had turned and
caught sight of the panther just above
her and fell in dead faint.
"The huge beast made the spring, but
went wide of his mark and rolled down
the bank to the bottom of the little
ravine. Birgln had been equal to the
emergency. He sprang up Instantly
when shot and drawing his Colts re-
VolVer sent thirty-eight caliber slug
into the panther's right eye. A second
slug caught him in the center of the
forehead just as he sprang clear of the
ground. He just grazed the form of
Mrs. Blrgin and was dead before he had
rolled down to the bottom of the glen.
"Birgin hurried up the bank to at
tend to his wife, who soon recovered,
and | went to look over the panther.
Its face and neck were peppered with
the little bird shot, but the empty SOCK
ct and the hole between the eyes told
the story. While l was overhauline
the panther Birgin came down and
looked on. Now | know what | have
been practicing all this time for was
all he said. He told me afterward that
he did not wait to fairly get the sights;
but his long practice made it impossible
to miss his aim.
"Birgin and the girl helped Mrs.
Birgin back to the cabin, half carving
her most of the way. I skinned the
panther leaving on the head and claws.
Btrgin took the skin with him to Buff
falo when his wife's health was fully re-
stored in the fall.
For awhile the boys had good deal
to say about cunning for panther with
bird shot, but they won't soon forget the
two shots with which Birgin brought
down the only panther ever killed in
these woods with pistol. Rochester

many people know that he has in his

porter? Yet such is indeed the case,
for after passing his state examination
in law at the University of Berlin, the
embryo Chancellor was made official law
reporter at one of the courts of that
city. But Bismarck the young law re-
porter lacked the discretion and diplo-
macy of Bismarck the Chancellor. He
ono day engaged in wordy war with a
certain pig-headed witness, and at last
threatened the object of his wrath that
he would have him kicked out. The
Judge, however, reproved the young re-
porter by saying that he attended to the
kicking out. "Well,' said Bismarck to
the Objectionable witness, 'be careful
what you say, Or l will get the judge to

THE MEANING OF SUCCESS.
ANY Thing Worth Striving for Is Desery-
ing of Our Best Efforts.

The sentiment that there is some
easv way to success in life is as per-
nicious as 1T is mistaken. Now and
then a man seems to be SO exceptional
ly helped by Providence that he may be
reckoned as if outside the rule, but he
should be SO esteemed, and not taken
as the gauge by which to set the
hopes of others. The rule is, and it is a
fixed one, that he who would be mas
ter, or even creditable competitor
in any department of life, must
base his expectation upon the
blessing that will rest upon hon
est and diligent effort. If one
be intelligent, he must study. If he
write, he must accept the necessary
training. In no profession is there a
place for him who refuses preparation,
and the rigorous, patient toll which it
demands. There are parents who sug-
gest to their children that they wish for
them some way of making living that
shall be easier than their own, think
ing thereby to do them a kindness; but
their tenderness has usurped the place
of their Judgment, and caused them to
give foolish counsel. 1t is the hand of
the iiligent that maketh rich in any
field. United Presbyterian.
