Shade Trees.

Plenty of shade trees about the farm
house and the home grounds are essential
both to beauty and comfort. In summer
they give sh, tier from the burning sun,
and in winter from the cutting winds.
I hey should, however, not be too densely
grouped close about the house, as then
they cause dampness. Plant judiciously,
but plant, and plant now, for anything is
better than bare grounds. II you chance
to get the trees in too thickly, part may
be easily removed when they have grown
larger, and so shown that they are not
needed.

Why Russia persecutes the Joxs.

The principal grounds upon which the
Russian justi6es the persecution of his
Hebrew brother arc as follows. He as
serts: First-That the Jews are too rs-
pacious and too successful in getting
money and property away from the sur
rounding Christians. Second-That they
hold themselves, as u class, apart from
the rest of the community. Third-That
they furnish many of the leading nihil-
lists and mischief makers. Fourth-That
they evade service in the army and do
not become patriotic Russians.
The first accusation may he ignored,
as it amounts simply to saying that the
jew is shrewder and more intelligent
than his neighbors of other races. AS to
the Jews refusal to mingle more freely
with his neighbors of different creeds,
or, in other words, to assimilate with
the population, it cannot be said that he
has as yet received any very warm iavi-
tation to do anything of the kind. lie
has been chased like IL beast of prey for
centuries. and now he is asked why he
does not like his prosecutors
The charge of nihilism is perfectly
true, to the extent that the Jews natur-
ally furnish their proportionate quota to
the malcontents who have tho courage
to act But that the Jews among the
nihilists exceed their proper proportion
to the whole population is denied by
many Trustworthy writer's. The charge
that the Jew evades army service is dis
proved by official statistics.-P. G..
Hubert, Jr., in Forum.

Its Origin in Doubt,

The other day casually asked drug
clerk the origin Of the many colorcd
lights which are now the universal signs
of a drug store. The youth referred me
very pleasantly to an older man in the
store, who finally admitted that he knew
about as little as his younger associate
called in every drug store on upper
Broadway and made the same query. At
each place the question seemed to par
alyze the younger members of the estab-
lish1nent. The older clerks contented
themselves with the opinion that it was
only to attract attention that various
cotored lights were represented by jets
behind liquid in glass bottle. ascer-
talned that there was q great deal of
knack ia preparing the liquid so as to
give clear light of whatever color de-
sired and to stand the test of time with
out precipitation.
One clerk said he thought that the
custom could be traced back two or three
hundred years until it faded into the
barber pole that is now the sign of the
tonsorial artists throughout the English
speaking world Another man, who
seemed to get a little nearer to it than
the rest, said that it originated with the
carly chemists and alchemists, who desig-
mated their places of business in this way.
All of them expressed desire that when
got the information sought l should
furnish it to those engaged in the drug
business. in New York

Her ROYAL Sweatness.

To be called Her Royal Highness is
the destiny Of every woman born to
wear crown, but it remains for one
woman among all the royal families to
have the endearing title of Her Royal
Sweetness given to her. and that honor
belongs to Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
She has that marvellous art of making
goodness seem attractive; of making
the fight act the pleasant one and of i'm
pressing upon all who know her the
knowledge that to do good is to have a
pleasant time, and not to do it is to miss
some of the pleasure of life.
Many princesses have been written
about as having been beautiful, as nav
ing caused great wars, as having done
great deeds of valor, of having made
men die for them and kingdoms quarrel
over them, but of none of them can it
be said, as it is of this gracious lady,
that the whole world bows down before
sweetness and goodness, that peace has
been the watchword of her life; and
not only does she value peace, but those
loving sisters, Faith, Hope and Charity,
abide with l,er.-Lady Elizabeth Hilary
in Ladies' Home Journal.

Too PeraOnaL.

the girl at his left at the dinner table,
upon whom he was desirous of making
a good impression, with an article !
-esd recently in one of the magazines on
the influence Of food upon the human
system"
"Yes," replied the maiden encourag-
ingly, and Trotter went on:
"The author maintained that man
becomes to great extent what he eats,

vinced that he is quite right?'

Self Acting Paper Cutter.

A Calcutta newspaper relates an Incl
dent which illustrates the magnificent
way in which the rajahs of India-or at
least those of them who remain opulent
and powerful-repay small debt. Not
long ago the Rajah Holkar, of Indore, in
paying visit to the viceroy, the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, at Calcutta, was
shown by the marquis several of the
London illustrated newspapers. In cut
ting the leaves of these journals, Lord
Lansdowne used an ivory paper cutter.
The rajah had never seen a paper
cutter before and was much interested
in the little instrument.
eff your excellency will make me
present of it," he said, II will send you
another in exchange"
Tho viceSoy promptly gave his guest
the paper edtter, and the rajah returned
with it to his own dominions.
Lord Lansdowne had almost forgotten
the incident when he received notice
that the rajah's return gift was on the
way, and he was presently astonished to
have brought to him q young and hand
some elephant, each of whose tusks had
been skillfully wrought into the shape of
q paper cutter.
A servant brought some illustrated
newspapers, at which the elephant seized
them with his trunk and proceeded very
skillfully to cut the leaves with his
sharply trimmed tusks. He had been
trained to this accomplishment under
tho rajah's orders.
The living paper cutter, it is UNDER
stood, is still in Lord Lansdowne's pos
session, but it is not one of the ordinary
furnishings of the viceroy's library. For
his customary opening of books and
newspapers ho keeps a less bulky i'm
plement.-Youth's Companion.

Easter EpRg.

The egg is the sign of the resurrection,
which the Easter festival commentaries.
The Jews place it on the Passover table,
thereby indicating that their race is
to be resurrected. The Pers;..ns and
Druids both used it in their religious
ceremonies, and not only the Russian,
but the Mohammedan, on the early
Easter morning gives the greeting,
"Christ is risen" and the reply, ''Christ
is risen indeed" is followed by an ex-
change of eggs, and the egg is as we'll o
feature in all the old Eastern legends,
many of which are too improbable to
even bear the semblance of truth; others
might be true, inasmuch as truth is
oftentimes stranger than fiction.-Emma
J. Gray in Good Housekeeping.

Dining with Discrimination.

If ono desires to dine with physiolog-
ical discrimination tho meal should b.
gin with u few uncooked oysters or CLAIMS,
which are immediately stimulating, nu-
tritieus and digestible; both oysters and
sea fish contain a tonic quantity of TO-
dino, and are good nerve foods. With
the exception of cayenne, the earlier
dishes should be mildly seasoned; the
entrees may become piquant gradually;
the ice or Roman punch rcfreshes the
tissues of tho mouth and throat. which
have been heated by the food and some-
what infamed or, rather, stimulated;
the liquid GOODNESS counteracts those
feverish conditions, and prepares the pal
ate for the flavor of the roast or broiled
game.
The accompanying salad greatly en-
hances the intense flavor of tho roast,
while the condiments and salad oil favor
digestion. The dessert sweets tend to
regulate tho combination of the nutri-
tive elements in the blood, exercising a
chemical action not yet thoroughly un-
derstood. Black coffee or tea without
milk has an astringent effect, that is, it
contracts the mucous membrane of the
digestive organs, interfering with the
flow Of the gastric and intestinal fluids,
and thus retarding digestion.
When their effect is desirable, the
warmth and stimulus derived from
either of those beverages can be replaced
by drinking glass of hot milk and wa
ter, swallowed rs hot as possible, in
large sips, and there is no handicap, as
with tea or coffee. The milk soothes the
sensitive digestive tract, which may be
disturbed by other foods, and the hot
water is sanative; the milk taken with
out the water would become solid
food directly it encountered the gastric
juice, thus lacking the necessary liqnid
quantity. Juliet Corson in Harper's
Bazar.
