Tho oldest Tree on Esrth.

! Tho oldest tree on earth, at least as
far as any one knows, is the Boo tree
in the sacred city of Amarapoora, Bur
nah. 1t was planted, the record says,
in the year 2SS B. c., and is, therefore,
nearly 1900 years old. Its great age is
proved according to historic documents,
says Sir James Emerson, who adds:
ITO it kings have dedicated their do
minions in testimony of q belief that if
is q branch of the identical fig tree un-
der which Buddha reclined at Urumclva
when he underwent his a%potheosis."
Its leaves are carried away by pilgrims
as relics, but as it is too sacred to touch
with a knife these leaves can only be
gathered after they have fallen.

SISTER KATHERINE.
a New Order to Be Founded by,
Miss DrexeL
Tho Philadelphia Heircss to Devote tho
Balance of Her Life to Catholic Church
Work Among the Indians and tho
Negroes OF tho South.

Miss Katherine M. Drexel, a daughter
OF the late L. A.. Drexel, who has been
ut the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy
in Pittsburgh for about q year and O
half, made her profession ut tho house
of the order in Pittsburgh.
This step, while not absolutely final, is
regarded by the Philadelphia Press as
decisive of Miss DreXel's intentions.
Her retirement to tho convent at first
was In the nature of q trial of her call
ing, and was intended as n means of
learning whether the religious life was
her vocation. She has been very happy
in the life, with its regular routine of
charitable deeds and its offices of
prayer. T.
Aside from the prominence Of the
name which the religious candidate
represented the event was notable for
another and very important reason. A
This was that, ms Miss Drcxcl did
not join the Order of the Sisters
of Mercy. but founded an alto
Igether new order, non OF the
rituals used in connection with existing
orders sufficed. The new form received
tho appreciation Of Archbishop Ryan,
who had the matter under consideration
for q long time, and it is understood that
it also received the favorable considcra-
ton Of one of the congregation of Car
dinals, who are entrusted with author
lity and discretion in such matters. Miss
,Drexel's order will devote itself partic-
ularly to the welfare of the Indians and
poor colored people. p.
She has received n beautiful trdfning
in disciplined works Of charity during
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1891-04-19

her life in the convent of the Sisters OF
Mercy. The latter body is devoted, as
its name implies, to work among the
sick and needy as we'll as religious
teaching among those with whom their
errands bring them. For instance, it is
not generally known that the Sisters OF
Mercy in this city lave visited the wom-
en- in the county prison for many years,
and even on n occasion helped minis
ter to a Catholic who was under SEN
tence of death. Miss Drexel's object in
taking upon herself q religious habit,
on the other hand, is for the purpose OF
establishing means of educational and
religious work among the Indians and
among colored people in places where
these advantages are needed. To do
this, she proposes to devote her income,
known to be much more than $500, 900 q
year, to the work of her order, of which
she is to be the Superior.
One OF the executors Of the Drexet
estate said that, as Superior of the new
order, Miss Drcxel will retain personal
control of the fortune which she has al
ready begun to spend in this work.
Her income is the only mount which
she controls, however, as the estate Of
the late f. A.. Drexel was left in trust
for his daughters during life. Whatever
Miss Katherine Drexel's intentions may
be as regards the disposal of her in
come, it, it is authoritavely stated, will be
paid only to her by the trustees. Real
estate or property that she may ac-
quirc with it she may convey to her
new order or otherwise, as she may see
fit.
At present her income, Il is said, has
not been allowed to accumulate, all the
sisters having long pursued the course
ofsgiving large sums in cid of various
charities of the Roman Catholic Church.
She is ready to begin at once building
the parent house of the new order, at
Torresdalc. The womcn whom she
will associate with her in the new
work, it is intended to recruit from
those of such culture and mental
.calibcr as, for instance, those who have
lately floclled into the profession Of
nursing through the hospitals and train
ing schools. Missions will be cstab-
'1ished as opportunity may present, at
suitable points in the Indian country
and in the South.

The Earliest Lens.

The earliest known lens is one made
of rock crystal, unearthed by Layard at
Nincvch. This lens, the age of which
is to be measured by thousands of years,
now lies in the British Museum, with
its surface as bright as when it left the
makers hands. BY the side of it are
very recent specimens of lens which
have been ruined by exposure to Lon
don's fogs and smoke.

In a thriving village of Oxford county
are people who still enjoy relating little
incident illustrative of the confusion
likely to fall upon the stranger to our
language who uses synonyms indiscrimi-
nately. The pastor of the leading church
had made arrangements to exchange
with a good German brother of the same
denomination. Having himself been a
witness to some ludicrous mistakes Of
that worthy, the minister was not with
out feeling of uneasiness.
The German having arrived in the vii
lage Saturday was courteously invited
to pleasant gathering near the parson-
age. The elite of the town were pres
ent. All went well with our German
friend until he was introduced to tho
beautiful Miss Howard, whose match
less complexion was the pride of the viii
lage. Feeling that such beauty deserved
some recognition, and wishing to COM
pliment the beautiful stranger, the Ger
man exclaimed with his beaming ad-
miration, why, fraulein, what beau
