A SACRED BO-TREE 2I3O YEARS
OLD.

For time / become a pilgrim my
self. We reach the uppermOst of
three successive terraces of masonry,
which is crowned by the multiple
trunk of a venerable tree. The sew
eral divisions of this tree are feeble,
gnarled, and bent; the leaves lack the
fresh verdancy of a vigorous growth,
and plainly show the yellowish pallor
of decrepitude. The soil that nour-
ishes it's roots is well nigh saturated
with the oil of its anointment; yet,
bent with age, this patriarch spreads
its protecting arms over the jaded de-
voices, while they deposit beneath it
and around it their offerings of cocoa
nut-oil, palm blossom, champac flow
ers, and the bloom of the temple tree
(frangipani). Then their eager gaze
is turned upward to the branches; they
crave a single leaf, but none would
dare pluck it from the tree; it must
fall in full maturity to yield its maxi
mum of merit. A passing breeze
sways the branches; the leaves rustic;
GLO NctISIO4o S9elAO ;
a withered member is separated from
its branch and comes sailing down.
There is no whoop of exultation, no
trifling smile; but instead, deter
mined sally, pious scramble, a col
lision of Jealous hands and heads, and
the solitary leaf is borne away in the
happy bosom of the successful COM
petitor. The prizes were few and the
competitors were many, so [ could
only hope to secure one by remaining
till the pilgrims, at nightfall, had
turned their steps homeward; but
even then robed priests remained to
guard this holy of holes.
As if, however, to reward my pa
tience, two leaves fell at my feet,
whereupon, well satisfied, 1 turned
away from tree that is enshrined in
the hearts of four millions of the hu-
man family, and which is, in all prob
ability, the Oldest historical tree in the
world; and when tell the reader that
it has been dropping its consecrated
leaves into the outstretched hands of
pilgrims for 213O years, he will, trust,
pardon desire on my part to carry
away memorial.-jScribner.

In one of the Down East cities they
have an excellent clergyman whose
name is Johonnot. He is wide
awake, iberal-spir1ted fellow, and
takes a deal of interest in children. A
while ago he came across lad he
didn't know, and stopped to make his
acquaintance and have little chat.
So he began with: "Good-morning,
bub! What's your name?" the boy
was an older boy than he looked in
the ways OF Yankee colloquialism, and
responded cheerfully: "What's yourn?
You tell me first.' 'FOh my name, s
'Johonnot.'" "Huh!" said the boy.
&c 80 Hornet is it? Well, mines Joe
BumbIebee!" and off he flew.

THREADS OF THOUGHT

Life is double faced and double edg-
ed.
To know ones self is to distrust
ones self.
Each life may have a potentially
of greatness.
To be misunderstood by those we
love is bitterest of all.
Find disinterested friend and you
have found a jewel.
The greatest study of all is that of
the changes of the mind.
Success has sometimes to be paid
for, after having been fairly earned.
One is led to think that there is lit
tie that is constant nowadays save mu-
liability.
The philosopher takes his fortune
much as he does his health-enjoys it
when it is good, endures it when it is
bad, and seeks extreme remedies only
at the most urgent need.

There is now invested in breweries
in this country e18, 1884, 900 of English
capital. The total sales of the 81 brew
cries and malt houses controlled by
this British gold, for the fiscal year
1890, were 5,021, 12o barrels, or nearly
one fifth of the total production for
the whole country. These figures are
from the April Brewers Journal. To
get some idea of the political power
welded by these vast interests, it
should be stated that these breweries
control largely the saloons through
which their product is put upon the
market, and that the retail price OF
5,O21, 12O barrels of beer is from $780,
00O, 900 to 500, 200, 900.

ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN.

So long as outward interests made
small part of the life of woman, and
her chief end was a speedy seeking
and finding of the individual man who
was to be her special phase of the gen
eral problem, women were for each
other a secondary matter. At last wo-
men seek to understand each other, all
the more eagerly, it may be, for the
long Indifference; and so each day
demonstrates more fully the falsity of
long accepted saying: Women can
not work together The passion for
organization is the outgrowth of the
new desire. Negative virtues summed
up in all that patient endurance of
/ hard conditions must mean, have filed
the past. To-day the positive ones
are uppermOst,a land to all women some
! form of action outside old lines is be-
| coming possible. No work has vital
power which does not arouse an i'm
| pulse toward personal betterment in
those for whom it is undertaken. For
every city where the experiment of
working girls clubs have been tried,
hundreds have learned two things
which underlie the formation of any
such organizations = first. that there
are means of happiness and growth
within the reach of all workers.; and
second, that out of such organizations
grows feeling of mutual trustfulness,
of solidarity, and of confidence in the
of tod h;
enable the worker to make effectual
claim to a larger and juster share of
the product of her labor. The cour-
age, the patience and fidelity of the
mass of these workers is beyond
praise. It is a demand upon more for
tunate women to tighten hard condi-
tions, and give to all the knowledge
wherein lies their only means of es-
cape. Often ignorant, incompetent,
undisciplined and insolent because of
all the conditions, the Individual is
sometimes terror; but dealing with
this phase, the first necessity is to ig
more it, and to look at the mass out of
which is to be developed that capacity
which is the sole title of rank as indi-
viduals. It is this work that is to be
accomplished by the whole enormous
system of clubs. It is liberty that is
to groW-not license which wears its
mask, but the liberty born of conflict
with and conquest of error, liberty
that will carry with it equal opportun-
ity for development of every faculty,
and thus secure to all honest work,
just wage to the worker, and some
thing in the life besides work. The
century SO near its opening holds the
promise for which the past has waited.
1t is Victor Hugo who shall give us the
key note: ''To satisfy the nineteenth
century, it is necessary to be the
painter of the sixteenth, the writer of
the seventeenth, the philosopher of the
eighte enth; and it is also necessary,
like Louis Blanc, to have the innate
and holy love of humanity which con-
stitutes an apostolate and opens up a
prophetic vista into the future. In the
twentieth, war will be dead, the scat
fold will be dead, animosity will be
dead, royalty will be dead,-but man
will live. For all there will be but one
country-tha country the whole earth;
for all, there will be but one hope;
that hope the whole heaven"

ANSWERABLE THEMSEL YES.

Our merchants complain about the
many bad debts on their books, for
which they deserve commiseration.-
They are of a somewhat varied char
dead-beat kind, whom no merchant
should trust without good security.
Others are of the happy go lucky peo-
pie, who are honest within certain
bounds, and will pay if everything
with them prospers, bnt they will live
well to-day without a care for to-mor-
row, but they will never undergo self
denial to do it. Others are those that
the merchants themselves are answer
able for. They are so anxious to do
business that when they get a Gus
toner who buys an article or two and
pays for them, they coax and wheedle
him to buy more. He needn't trou
bic about paying for it then. Some
other time will do. The poor dupe is
flattered and he yields, and his in
dependence and self respect are gone.
He knows he has bought something
he did not need, which will take
months of the most rigid economy to
pay for, and after the novelty of his
new possession has worn off that he
thought would equal or surpass that
of some other neighbor, he becomes
tired of this constant scrimping to
make ends meet, and lets the debt
pass unheeded Then the merchant
begins to worry and harass him.
Sometimes he gets his money, but
oftener he loses it, and he also loses
his custom in the future A merchant
who persuades customer to purchase
an article for which he has no pres
ent use, could as well do without, and
who has no money to pay for it, is
served right if it is never paid for.

1t was in 1905 that the notion of
chemical matches was first conceived.
In that year a French professor in
troduced for the purpose a small bottle
of asbestos, saturated with strong sui
phuric acid, into which little sticks of
wood, coated with sulphur and tipped
with a mixture of chlorate of potash
and sugar, were to be introduced
when light was wanted. When the
wooden splint thus prepared was
brought in contact with the acid in
the bottle ignition followed.
In the same year matches tipped
with Jumps of PHOSPHORUS seem to
have been known, but they caught
fire too readily by spontaneous com
bustion to render them very desirable
for household use.
An Improvement was introduced in
1923, when equal parts of sulphur and
PHOSPHORUS were melted together in
a glass tube, which was securely cork

HAMLIN'S LOVE FOR NEW ENG
LAND.

There have been few public men of
whom SO many good stories have been
told as are told of Hannibal Hamlin.
His was one ofthose sturdy, outspok-
en-, independent natures that was
bound to make the life of it's possess
ors replete with incidents character
istic of the man. The epigrammatic
answers made by the old Carthagenian
during the course of his life, would
make a most interesting collection if
they could be brought together.
What can you grow here? inquired
distinguished English agriculturist
of him one day as they were travelling
along the rock bound coast of Maine.
We can raise men here, was the
proud response of the sturdy son of
the Pine Tree state.
The old man was a most sincere
believer in New England and it's insti-
buttons. He regarded the old state as
the balance wheel for the rest of the
country. In one of the finest speech
es he ever delivered in congress he
said in an impassioned burst of elo-
quence: I glory in New England and
in New England institutions. There
she stands, with her free schools and
her free labor, her fearless enterprise,
her indomitable energy; with her
rocky hills, her torrent streams; her
green valleys, her heaven pointed
spires there she stands, a moral mon
ument around which the gratitude of
her country binds the wreath of fame,
while protected freedom shall repose
forever at its base.
