Mrs williams had never been satisfied
with the arrangement of her old house,
and 50, when her husband proposed to
build anew one she said she would like to
draw the plans; then she should be sure
that she would have enough closets and
other conyeniGnces
Mr.. Williams said, Certainly, my dear
you draw the plans, and then you can have
Jones look them over and see that they are
practicable"
"Of course they'll be practicable, and it
will be only matter Of form for Mr.. Jones
90 pass approval on them said his wife
confidently.
The plans were made and remade, al
tered and realtered, until at last they gave
Mrs. Williams perfect satisfaction. There
were enormous closets at every turn, and
open fireplaces wherever there was a
chance for one, and with a sigh Of relief
she started for Mr.. Jones' Office.
When she displayed the plan of the first
floor she was much gratided at the archi-
tects evident approval, and although he
seemed on the poins of asking some ques-
ton once or twice he did not do so, and in
triumph she spread out the plan of the
second floor.
"What do you think of thatY she asked
in the tone Of one assured Of a pleasant an
swer.

said the suaye Mr.. Jones; "but--ah-oh-

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who GER
tainly may be considered to know what he
is talking about, expresses the following
unique news about poets and poetry in his
"Oyer the Teacups:"
Poetry is commonly thought to be the
language of emotion. On the contrary,
most of what is so called proves the abb
sence of all passionate excitement. 1t is a
cold blooded, haggard, anxious hunt after
rhymes which can be made serviceable, aft
err images which will be effective, after
phrases which are sonorous." And, again:
"There's nothing like rhyme to cool off a
mans passion. You look at a man work
ing on bit of iron orsteel Bright enough
it looked while it was on the hearth, in the
midst of the sea coal How it
fixes as it goes into the trough of waterl
and how suddenly all the glow is gonel 1t
looks black and cold enough now. Just so
with your passionate incandescence. 1t is
all well while it burns and scintillates in
your emotional centers, without articulate
and connected expression, but the minute
you plunge it into the rhyme trough it
cools down, and becomes as dead and dull
rs the cold horseshoe"

A Cabbnge Tree.

One of the most peculiar and most valu-
able trees in Florida is the cabbage tree,
says The New Orleans Picayune. 1.-THE
tree, in fact, belongs to the palmetto fam
lily. 1t grows to a height varying from
twenty TO forty feet, and there is scarcely
an inch difference in the diameter from
the roots up to the leaves. The leaves OF
bayonets all grow in "A cluster at the top.
The wood is very porous and extremely
light; it resembles cork. Its value lies in
the fact that it is utterly impervous to the
ravages Of salt water and barnacles, which
quickly destroy all other natural woods
Hence, the cabbage tree is much sought
after for posts and piles for building
bridges and wharfs in salt water. Pin,
piles that are used in building through sal
water have to be creosoted in order 20 pre-
serve them any length of time, and tn
process is n very expensive one, but tn
cabbage wood needs no application of an,
sort "

Snow has several curious methods of ex-
tending the sphere OF ITS hostile influence
The comparatively light SHOWS which fall
in our latitude are of minor Importance,
since they readily yield to the early spring
sunbeams. They are in some degree bene-
fetal to the fertile surface and protective
to its more tender annual plants, while
their only important adverse effect is the
dangerous flooding Of the rivers, due to
their rapid melting. But the deep and
persistent SHOWS Of northern regions are
far more exhaustive Of solar heat, and re
duce the agricultural season Of those re-
gions to a dangerously short period. In
their melting, also, the surface air is
chilled, and winds from the north convey
this chilled air far TO the south, thus
spreading widely over the warmer zones
the frost inducing influence of the melting
SHOWS.
We have seen how the tropic heats are
carried toward the poles by winds and
waters The frigid cold is carried toward
the tropics by the same agencies-chilled
winds and cold ocean currents. IL is car
ried by another agent OF great importance,
the direct creep Of the snow itself toward
the lower ATTITUDES This agency has once
perhaps many times-produced an ex-
traordinary effect upon the surface Of the
earth, one far surprising that OF volcanic
explosions and lava outfows in its adverse
influence. At present this glacial action is
greatly reduced, but is still Of much i'm
portance. Charles Morris in Popular
Science Monthly.

It is generally known that the three
leaved clover is an emblem Of the trinity
the legend being that st. Patrick first used
it TO illustrate how three separate objects
such as leaves, could yet form one. But
according to J. b. Fredreich, it was a
very ancient symbol, expressing religion
among the ancient Germans as setting
forth the three grades Of Druids, Bards
Neophytes. And as one legend or myth
or superstition begets many, so there grew
from this number which, however, al
refer to the clover with four leaves, tire
rarity of which gave rise to the belief that
it would bring good luck to the one who
carried it.
When sitting in the grass we see
A little four leaved clover,
Tis luck for thee and luck for me,
Or luck for any lover.

during the first quarter. His views are
