A foreign traveller tells of seeing mll-
sical trees in the West India islands and
in Nubia. It has a peculiar shaped leaf
and pods with split or open edge The,
wind passing through these gives out the
sound which gives the tree its peculiar
name. In Barbados there is valley.
filled with these trees, and when the wind
blows across the island constant moan
ing. deep-toned whistle is heard from it,
which in the still hours of the night has
a very wierd and unpleasant effect. A
species Of acacia, which grows very abun.
dantly in the Soudan, is also called tho.
"whistling tree BY the natives. III
shoots are frequently, by the agency of
the larv,e of insects distorted in shape
and swollen into globular bladder from
1 to 2 inches in diameter. After the ins
sect has emerged from circular hole ii.
the side Of this swelling the opening
played upon by the wind becomes mu-1
sical instrument, equal in sound to q
sweet toned flute.

LIS HAIR TURNED GRAY.
A.larta Constitution.

A printer, well known in Atlanta,
had an experience during the past few
days which he is likely to remember.
Like many a better man he got hans
up in Birmingham last week. He
wanted to come to Atlanta, and he
crawled into the first vacant stock car
he saw, and as it WAS night rolled into
one corner and went to sleep. He
was awakened in a little while by a
lot of mules being driven in on him.
"Scared? We'll, | think / was, ,,
he says in telling the story "But |
wanted to come, and thought I could
pacify the mules so they would let me
alone. | soon found that wouldn't
work. They eyed me suspieio,sly,
then bit at me until l began to realize
that there must be some change, or
my last days had come. / made up
my mind to ride one Of the mules. |
tried one and was promptly landed
against the top Of tie Car. Then an
other and another, with the same re-.
suit. The fourth one was docile, ant

a night It was the most horrible ride
anybody ever experienced, and YOU
need not wonder at my hair turning

PINE WEALTH.

An idea of the wealth contained in
the pine forests lying north of Sabine
Pass, i'll Texas and Louisiana, may be
had from the following extract from
the Southwestern Record:
"If all the pine timber standing
north Of Sabine Pass and tributary to
that port were cut into lumber and
shipped through the Pass i'll vessels of
800 tons burden, it would load 679,-
$50 such vessels. If they could be
loaded by magic at Sabine Pass, and
then followed stem to stern in one
continual line, it would reach around
the globe back to Sabine Pass, and
there the advance vessel would have
to wait for 600 miles Of the rear end
OF the procession to pass out Of port
There's lots Of lumber in East Texas.

More towns die for want of conf

More towns die for want of conf
dence on the part of the business men
and lack Of public spirit than from
any other cause. When man in
search of home or business location
goes into a town and finds everything
brim full of hope and enthusiasm over
the prospects of the place, and all
earnestly at work to build it ur, he
soon becomes lmbued with the same
spirit, and as result he drives down
his stakes and goes to work with the
same interest. When, however, he
goes to a town where every one ex-
presses doubt and apprehension for the
future prospects Of the place, moving
about and indulging in mournful
conplaints, he naturally feels that it
is no place for him, and at once shakes
the dust off his feet while he pulls out
with all possible speed for some ether
place. Consequently try and make
a live, enterprising town out of the
one in which you live. When you
are working for aud saying a good
thing for your own town you are ac-
complishing all the more for yourself.

"In May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on its head and body. We aps
piled various simple remedies without
avail. The sores Increased in number
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in a few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
AT last we began the use of Ayers Sar-

change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimin-

introduce to the laureate a musician
who had set some Of his songs to mu.
sic. A party was given for the occa-

musician sang his songs to him with
every power Of expression that he
knew how to produce. At the end Of
the performance every body awaited
the words Of the poet, There was a
blank silence. The hostess feared
that the songs had fot produced a
good impression. At length, from a
corner where Tennyson sat came a
voice choking with emotion: DO you
not see that I am weeping?n
