Grew over 100 Feet in Nineteen Years.

Monday morning the tall blue gum
tree standing at the northeast corner
OF German Senter's house was cut
down. A careful measurement OF the
tree showed 1t to be about 115 feet
high from the ground to the topmost
branch. 1t was four feet in diameter
and about twelve feet in circumference
at the ground. We are informed by a
Portuguese that he set the tree out
nineteen years ago. Think OF IL! A
tree only nineteen years old, l15 feet
high and showing diameter in pro-
portion. The residents OF that quar-
ter watched the fall OF the monarch
with genuine regret, but its great
height made the cutting OF it down
necessity, as 1t was liable to break
and fall on some of the residences near.

The SPIRIT OF THE TIMES, OF New York,
says:-"An extraordinary advance in the use
of cocoa seems to have taken place OF late
years in England. In the House OF Com
mons this last session the Right Hon. q. j.
Goschen, the Chancello Of the Exchequer,
called attention to ii as cause for much OF
the falling oil OF the use OF coffee. He
attributed 1t in a measure to the position a
preparation OF cocoa known as Grateful and
Comforting" had taken. In accord with this
suggestion 1t may be interesting TO follow
the course cocoa has taken in England since
1892, when the duty which had been stand
ing at I'd. per h., with an importation of
under half a million pounds, was reduced TO
I'd per ID, and not long alter we find the
homeopathic doctrine of medicine intro
duced into the kingdom, and that the use OF
cocoa was specially advocated by phys icans
adopting that mode OF practice. Soon after
we find the first homeopathic chemists
established in England (thc firm OF James
Epps ~ Coz produced special preparation,
which only needed boiling water or milk to
be at once ready for the table, and the super
Tor character of this production has, no
doubt, done much, as the Chancellor OF the
Exchequer said, TO bring about backed as II

A very novel suggestion for the con-
struction OF forts to defend our sea-
board cities comes from Mr.. Anderson,
the head Of the engineering firm which
has contracted with the governmental
build the lighthouse on Outer Diamond
shoal, at Hatteras. His proposition is
to sink caissons upon the sandy shoals
which exist at the mouth of nearly all
our rivers, and upon them to erect
forts OF 800 feet in diameter, built OF
solid concrete, with walls fifty feet
thick, with a bomb proof armor OF

Fashions for Men.

I According to the very latest English
kyles frock coats are to lead the season.
these are to be very straight and rather
long-no fulness in the skirts-to open very
low in front, and rarely to be buttoned. So
much for the leading article. The jacket
is tabooed. Its day is over. 1t may do for
the country; it is intolerable for the town
The double breasted pilot with silk facings
"a horrid hybrid-is also doomed. The
morning coat will be worn longer in the
skirts and fuller in the front. 1t is to be
more Of a coat than it has been.
The important question Of color, it seems,
is to be settled by a resolution. Gray goes
out, and what comes in--the very latest
fashion, the garment up to date-is brown.
We are to have all the browns, all the
ugliest browns, not the chocolates or the
cool tints, but the hot, the foxy, the cop

THE CURIOSITY SHOT.
An Old Superstition That Has Not En-
tirely Died Out.

An Old Superstition That Has Not En-
tirely Died Out.
Seven was considered a holy number,
and throughout the Scriptures it is fire.
duently used as such The seventh son of
a seventh son was formerly looked upon M
a natural doctor who possessed miraculous
powers of healing the sick, and could, in
fact, frequently effect "A cure by merely
touching the sufferer. Even at the present
day this piece of superstition has not died
out, and occasionally one may still meet
with these so called natural doctors, who
fully believe in the marvellous powers as
cribed to them. Among the Gaboon tribes
there is a superstition that on the seventh
day after the birth of child the woman
who is nursing the mother is in danger OF
being converted into an animal by some
evil spirit if the necessary steps are not
taken to prevent her metamorphosis. Ac-
cording to a popular superstition seven
years of bad luck may be expected by the
unfortunate person who chances to break
n mirror.
There is general belief with most PEG
pie that they undergo some change every
seven years; mans life Is popularity divided
into seven ages, and formerly it was sup
posed that seven and nine were capable of
exerting much subtle influence over men,
the product Of these two numbers being
particularly powerful in this respect. Thus,
sixty three years was called the grand eli
macteric, and that age was considered a
very important crisis in mans life. Wo-
men, on the other hand were supposed TO
be more susceptible to the influence of six.
/ Probably it was this belief in the supposed
| influence of nine and seven on mems lives
/ which originally gave rise to the custom OF
/ granting leases for multiples Of seven on
nine years. Long leases are granted foI
ninetynine or nine hundred and ninety
I nine years, instead Of a hundred or a thou
sand years, and there is, we believe, piece
of superstition that otherwise the hun
dredth or the thousandth year would b
under the influence of the evil one.
