The MiStletOe.

Kissing under the mistletoe is relic of Scandinavian mythology. Loh hated Balder, the Apollo of the North, and as everything that springs from fire, air, earth and water," had been sworn not to hurt the celestial favorite, the wicked spirit made an arrow of mistletoe, which he gave to blind Homer to test. The God of Darkness shot the arrow and killed Balder. Being restored to life at the urgent request of the gods and goddesses, the mistletoe was given to the goddess of Love to keep, and every one who passed under it received a kiss, to show that the branch was the emblem of love and not of death. The mistletoe is parasitical plant which fourishes on the branches of many kinds of trees in northern Europe. It is the viscum album of botanists, and is fre- quently found on the apple, and less often on the oak. The druids regarded it with peculiar reverence, from it's con- nection with the oak, the favorite tree of their divinity, Tutanus, who seems to have been identical with the Phoeni- clan god, Baal, or the sun. The plant is very rarely found in Scotland and nowhere in Ireland. It abounds in some parts of England.-Brooklyn Eagle.

My boy of ten." said d ,n~tler re- gently, "has heretofore been my great est responsibility in long journey. He is restless and likes to go to the door of the car and wander about never feel sure that he will stay in his seat while read or doze. This sulnme, hit upon resource, by mere chance, that got him easily through twelve hours ride, and some other mother of an uneasy lad may be glad to initiate it. He got hold of time table, one on which was every station we passed, and he spent the entire trip in watch ing the progress of the train.
 ''He set his watch by the conductors, and was as interested as the engineer in making the stations on time. Once the train lost twenty-five minutes, which was a positive boon, for until we had made that up my boy timed the distances between mile posts in his desire to watch the train's speed. and when we got on time again he was as pleased and proud as if he were re- sponsible. A time table and watch are the best of travelling companions for boys."-Her Point of View in New York Times.

After four days and nights on the ocean she reached her destination and she sent the Kroo boys back to Monrovia. She discarded all clothes, and in the costume of the country-a cloth around the Joins began her journey for the chief town of the Bassas.
 Arriving at Whreabo's town, Jacinto found him busily preparing for his war like expedition against his enemies, but when she in her beauty presented her self before him and told him who she was, his purpose changed. Instead of proceeding to war he gave orders for feasting and general rejoicing to cele- brate the return of his long lost bride. Jacinto accepted this position, and used her influence in such a way that Whreabo forgot his warlike intentions. By de- grees she so influenced him that he dis missed his other wives. She induced him to look upon the Liberians without hatred, and so changed him that evGntu- ally, from being that colony's enemy, he became bulwark to protect it from it's foes. Finally she won him to Christi anity.
 For many years this woman exerted an influence for good over the savage chief, but some ten years ago she died. Since then Whreabo has never left his town, but aged, blind and feeble, pa tiently waited for the final summons New York Sum-

Our Two Oran1a Statas

In the United States oranges and lem- ons are produced only in California and Florida. The orange crop of the latter is practically out of the way before that of the former is ready for the market. The California orange is of slower growth than the Florida product and does not decay so soon. The orange sea- son in California lasts five months, be- ginning Jan. 1, and it will be prolonged in future, as the people are planting Valencia oranges, which do not ripen till July. The lemon is more sensitive to frost than the orange, and it is pro- duced with more difficulty in Florida than in southern California, for the req son that the former state is more subject to frost.-L.

Sings sweetly Though Nearly so Years Old.
 Mrs. Emma Bostwick, once known as the American Jenny Lind, has probably retained her voice to greater age than any other public singer. She is now seventyseven years old, but her voice is still pure and fresh, and she sings in ad- mirable time and tune. She is the daughter of an English violinist, named Gillingham, and began her career on the concert stage when only twelve years of age. By the time she was twenty she was widely and favorably known. Her voice had a range of three octaves. Theodore Thomas, then rising young violinist, was among those who took part in her concerts.
 She was married in 1886, but did not retire from the concert stage, For 8 number of years she was the soloist of the New York Philharmonic society. She has never sung in opera. and the wonderful preservation of her voice is to be attributed partly to that, and part ly to the care she has observed in her diet and mode of ife.-Exchange.

River Problems.

Should the rank of river be meas ured by its length or by it's average volume of water2 is question on which geographers have apparently failed to agree. On the first named principle the Mississippi would be only the chief northern tributary of the Missouri. On the second, the Mississippi and Missouri combined would be mere brooks, com pared with the giant streams of the American tropics Near their junction with the Amazon, both the Rio Negro and the Toncantins are at least three times broader and deeper than the Mississippi at New Orleans Philadel- phia Times.
