Some Old Acorns.

c. R. Robertson once found cavity in
a large burr oak tree in which about a
pint of pin oak acorns had been stored.
The excavation in which the acorns were
found had been made by woodpeckers,
and was in the most solid part OF the
tree. Mr.. Robertson says that, accord
ing to Chambers, there was 39S years
growth of wood over the end of the cav
ity, yet all the acorns we're as fresh as
if only put away by the birds or squir-
rels the fall before.-St. Louis Republic.

Height of Cruelty.

Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy
they deserve. While often the pictures Of health,
they are constantly ailing. To withhold sym.
pathy from these unfortunates is the height of
cruelty. They have q weak heart, causing
shortness of breath ,huttering, pain in side weak
and hungry spells, and finally swelling Of
ankles, oppression, choking, smothering and
dropsy. DR.. Miles New Heart Cure is just the
thing for them. For their nervousness, head

1890, he told his wife in the presence
and hearing Of Mrs. Bright, the colored
woman, that eff she wanted money she
could get out and rustic for it,'' she be-
ing then penniless and in starving con-
dition, he having spent their last cent
on the previous Sunday for liquor. The
prosecution, however, objected to the
form of question put by the defend
ants attorney, to this effect, whereupon,
Fl. H. Appel, Esq, stated what he ex-
pected to prove. He was interrupted by
the court in the midst OF his explana-
tions, Judge Smith remarking that he
could not see the necessity at that stage
of the proceedings for a ''stump speech"
to the jury.
w. A. Cheney, Esq, counsel for the
defense, jumped to his feet and said:
"lf it please your honor, we wish to
object to the court terming the remarks
of counsel a stump speech, and desire
that our objection be placed upon the
record"
The court, severely: 81 know of no
law that prevents you from objecting,
sir. Mr.. Reporter, read the question. !"
Mr.. Appel: II will explain, your
honor -"
The court, sternly: II have no desire
to hear from you, sir"
Mr.. Appel again, saying excitedly
"You have no right to address me in
that way, SIR"
Judge Smith informed the attorney
that he did not propose to be inter-
rupted further, and the case was pro-
ceeded with.
A few minutes later, however, another
rupture occurred between the court and
counsel, in which the latter was again
sat upon.

now TO BE HAPPY.
Or at Least How Not 20 He Perfectly
Miserable.

Or nj Least How Not 10 He Perfectly
Miserable.
1t is an axiom, and has become a COM
monplace, writes "Jenny June" Mrs.
Croly), in the Homemdker, that the pur-
suit of happiness defeats itself; but
nevertheless, since the formulators of the
Declaration of Independence laid it down
as human right great many people
spend their lives in a vain chase after it
as If it was something to be bottled and
taken like Apollinaris or Geisshubler.
Happiness is elusive, because ideas are
80 vague in regard to its nature, and be-
cause it consists of such very different
things for different people, and usually
the thing wanted is the very opposite of
that which each one has in possession.
With many happiness is simple proc
ess OF elimination-the getting rid Of
what has become burden. The difficulty
is that the naturally human instinct is to
hold on; there is nothing more difficult
than to give up, to sacrifice that which
we possess, or even that which we are,
and see others get the benefit. This is
money making and money woIshiping
age; but it is not money for its own
sake; it is because money represents
power, pleasure, luxury, participation in
world of new delights; because new,
wide doors have opened that all desire to
enter, but can not, for the keys are of
gold, and the labor to make them effect
i've costly.
Perhaps the first step toward being
happy is to find out what makes YOU un-
happy and eliminate it; but be very sure
you eliminate the right thing.
II does not really take much to make
people happy. Sunshine for light and
warmth, fresh air for growth, water for
refreshment, food for strength, parental
love, friendship, companionship, and the
blessedness of work to give perpetual in
terest to life, and produce comfort and
beauty everywhere.
All these lie at our feet; are ready
made to our hands.
There are two positive recipes in this
world for unhappiness. One is idleness,
the other accumulation. More than your
share of anything makes you miserable,
whether it be dirt, money, neckties, old
papers, or poor relations.
1t is great blessing to be born into
productive, working life, and greater
blessing still to be fitted into that work
ing place, to feel sense of mastery in it.
This is the way to true happiness.
Another secret of happiness is TO cul-
tivate the "lucky" people. Lucky peo-
pie are the sound people, honest people,
wholesome people, the healthy and
Straightforward people.

SEA SAND As SOIL.
II Is Better. They say, Than the Best
Garden Mold.

II IL Better. They say, Than the Best
Garden Mold.
This curious jot is from an article by
Professor Atwater in the November Gen.
tWry:
1t is hard to think of anything more
barren, more destitute of fertility, than
sea sand. la connection with some stud
les of the chemistry of vegetable pro-
duction in the laboratory of Wesleyan
University we have been growing plants
in just such sand, brought from thesh
Of Long Island Sound.
To divest it of every possible trace of
material which the plants might use for
food except the sand itself, it was care
fully washed with water and then heated.
The young man who prepared the sand
Tor use, in his zeal to burn out the last
vestiges of extraneous matter, heated the
iron pots in which it was calcined so hot
that they almost melted.
The sand was put into glass Jars, water
was added, and minute quantities of
chemical salts, which plants take from
the soil, were dissolved in it.
In the sand thus watered and fertilized
dwarf peas were grown.
Peas Of the same kind were cultivated
by askillful gardener in rich soil of
garden close by, and grew to height Of
about four feet, while those in the sand
with water and the minute quantities Of
chemical salts reached height of eight
feet.

The personal ascendancy Of Bonaparte
over the generation with which he came
into contact and from which France i'm
herits its present way Of thinking is
shown by numerous anecdotes.
When Napoleon, at 20 years Of age,

that he was to pass through Toulon.

the ground of my previous acquaintance

to arrest me. And yet there was moth

Recalling the description which had

ing:
"One Of Barras's favorites. The Vende.

They enter and Napoleon keeps them
waiting. AT last he appears with his
sword and belt on, explains the dispo.
sition of the forces, gives them their
orders, and dismisses them. Augereau is
thunderstruck. Only when he gets out
of doors does he recover himself and fall
back on his accustomed oaths. He agrees
with Massena:
THAT little fiend Of q general fright.

He can not comprehend the ascendancy
which overawes him at the first glance.
The fact that stern and proud men
freely confessed that they could not
understand the terrible personal magnet
ism of Bonaparte is not the least remark
able testimony to his force. They seem
to have accepted him as so immeasurably
superior to other mortals that there could
be no shame in their mental prostration
before him.
