South America's Tall vulcano.

Cotopaxi is the loftiest of active vol canoes. but is slumbering now. The only evidences of action are the frequent rum blings that can be heard for a Hundred miles, and the cloud of smoke by lay and the pillar of fire by night, which COL. stantly arise from crater that is more than 5000 feet beyond the reach of man. Many have attempted to climb the mon ster, but the walls are so steep and the snow is so deep that the ascent is impos sible, even witt, scaling ladders.
 On tie southern slope of CotopaXi i' 2 great rock, more than 2,000 feet hish. called "the Inca's Head" Tradition say. that it was once the summit of the vol. cano. and fell on the day when Atahualps was strangled by the Spaniards. Thost who have seen Vesuvi'ls can judge of llie grandeur of Cotopaxi if they can imagine a volcano 15,000 feet higher, spurtinl flames and lava from a crest covered with 5000 feet of snow. with voice that has been heard GOO miles. And one can judge of the grandeur of scenery on the ,oad to Quito if he can imagine twenty of the highest mountains in America, three of them active volcanoes, standing along the road from Washington to New York ---American Magazine.

 Trees and Plants.

Books on Botany Bound in the Bark of
 Trees and Plants.
 At Warthenstein, in Germany, there is perhaps one of the most curiously original collections of books extant. This consists of botanical collection. Outwardly the books present the com mon appearance of block of wood, and that is the first impression; but minute examination reveals the fact that each is complete history of the particular tree which it represents. At the back of the book the bark has been removed from space which allows the scientific and common names of the tree to be placed as title. One side is formed from the split of the tree, show ing its grain and natural fracture; the other shows the wood when worked smooth and vanished. One end shows the grain as left by the saw, the other the finely-polished wood. On opening the book it is found to contain the fruit, seeds, leaves and other products of the tree. These are supplemented by a well-printed description of its habits, usual location and manner of growth. It fact, every thing which has bearing upon that particular tree secures a place in this wonderful, useful and valuable collection. Here is a prece- and although doubtless expensive, yet it will certainly repay in it's utility Christian at Work.

Gladstone Fifty Years Ago.

The following is description of Glad stone. published in London paper of 1888, the date of his marriage: "Mr. Gladstone's appearance and manners are much in his favor. He is fine looking man. He is about the usual height and of good figure. His countenance is mild and pleasant, and he has highly intel ,ectual expression. His eyes are clear and quick; his eyebrows are dark and rather prominent. There is no dandy in the house but envies what Tru(it would call his fine head of jet black hair. IL Is always carefully parted from his crown downward to his brow, where it is caIs fully shaded. His features are small and regular, and his complexion must be a very unworthy witness if he does not possess abundant good health. ."-Ncw York Commercial Advertiser.

He Had D Winning Way.

A few years ago the Episcopal diocese of Kentucky appeared to be torn up with dis sensions about high and low church. The bishop unfortunately allowed his sympathies to be drawn out to one party as against the other, and thereafter becoming disheartened and discouraged, resigned. The present bishop, when called to the diocese, was de- termined to ignore these disselisions, and if possible to harmonize his people. For some time no one was able to discover whether his sympathies were with one or the other party until, an occasion presenting itself in a social circle, lady with the curiosity of her sex) said Bishop, what are your viewsl We can't find out. Are you high church or low churchr Instantly the bishop replied: "Madam, am high, low, Jack and the game" There are no discussions now.-Pitts burp Post

 Palmer.
 When 5enatr Palmer recently took {, score of prominent men to the Michigan cluk reunion at Detroit, there were a few incl dents of the trip that the senator has thu far kept quiet. Among the diversions offered to his guests the senator suggested a trip tc his log house, few miles from the city. A party was made up, and the keeper of the rural retreat was told to get up dinner foI fifteen persons. But in some way the word got round that Senator Palmer was going tt give ''grand spread" at his log house, and when he and his guests started for theil drive through the woods they were surprised to find other wagon loads going in the same direction.
 q think" said the senator, ''that it woult be safe to raj D that dinner order to twenty i've"
 Accordingly he stepped into a store thai lad n telephone and raised his order ts twenty-five. When the log house wa, reached, the senator was appalled, % find about POO hungry and thirsty indiviiuali awaiting his dinner.
