A LUCKY PLANT,
Rosemary Was Supposed to Pessess Ma:
ical Properties.

Rosemary Was supposed to Possess Mag
ical Properties.
In the south Of Europe the rosemary
has long had magic properties ascribed
to 1t, says All the Year Round. The
Spanish ladies used to wear it as an
antidote against the evil eye, and the
Portuguese called it the Elm plant, and
dedicated It to the fairies. The idea Of
the antidote may have been due to a
confusion OF the name with that of the
Virgin; but, as matter OF fact, the
"Rosmarinus" is frequently mentioned
by old Latin writers, including Horace
and Ovid. The name came from. tho
fondness OF the plant for the scashore,
where it often gets sprinkled with the
''fos" or dew OF the sea, that is to say,
sea spray. Another cause of confus'on,
perhaps, was that the leaves OF the
plant somewhat resemble those Of the
Juniper. which in medieval times was
held sacred to the Virgin Mary.
In the island Of Crete. It is said, q
bride dressed for the wedding still calls,
last of oil, for q sprig of rosemary to
bring her luck. And now we come to
find rosemary in close association with
both marriage and death, Just as the
hyacinth was, and perhaps still is,
among the Greeks. 1t is interesting to
trace the connection by which the same
plant came to have two such different
uses.
Ono OF tho earliest mentions OF rosc-
mary In English literature is in poem
OF the fourteenth century. called ''The
Gloriouse Rosemaryne." which begins
thus:
This hcrbe Is caliit rosemaryn,
OF vcrtu that is code and tyne;
But all the vcrtucs tell no can,
Nor. ! trOwe, no erthely man"

OLD AGE OF RIVERS,

They Ara All Comparatively Recent in
Their Present Forms.
1t takes long time for rivers to pass
through maturity and reach old age.
and during this time it is doubtful If the
surface OF the land will remain in its
position. Geological processes OF ele-
vation and depression are almost con-
stantly in operation, says writer In
Goldthwaite,s Geographical Magazine.
That lands sink and rise by slow oscil-
lations is abundantly proved on all
coasts, and particularly on our own.
Since tho glacial epoch there have been
several such movements on the New
England coast. Every elevation gives
the rivera new work to do. and for the
time rejuvenates them, or ut least re-
wives them SO that old nge seems to be
not IN actual condition of rivers,
though 1t can be readily conceived, and
must result II the land remains still
long enough for its attainment. No
truly old river is known. though in
years most North American rivers are
vastly old. The hills of New England
are mountains worn to their very roots.
and thousands of feet of rock have been
removed from above them, yet the riv-
ers OF New England are barely mature
In Typographical form. There seems
good evidence that these hills have been
In the seat OF old rivers and that the
region was once worn down to almost a
plain or pene plain. and traversed by
sluggish streams, with little sediment,
flowing IN broad. low valleys An ele.
vation OF not very ancient date, geo
logically speaking. revived these old
streams, which now arc starting on q
new cycle.

ni,inoceros HORN.

The horn Of the rhinoceros is nothing
more than protuberance composed Of
agglutinated hair. Cut it in two, and,
examining its structure under the mi
croscope, 1t will be found that it is made
up entirely OF little tubes resembling
hair tubes. OF course, these are not
themselves hair, but the structure is
the same. The horns of the African
rhinoceros sometimes grow to- the
length OF four feet. From them the
Dutch boers make ramrods and other
articles.

How the Grcnt Preacher Appeared at the |

| How the Grcnt Preacher Appsarcd nt the
Ago OF Seventeen.
NY first meeting with Henry Ward
Bcechcr was in the carly part of May.
1880. He was classmate of brother OF
mine in Amherst college, and very close
friends. Tie two were just out OF their
freshman year when, together with an.
other college classrnate. they walked
from Amherst to my fathers house Mt
West Sutton for their spring vacation,
writes Mrs. Henry Ward Dccchcr in a
paper Oh "hlr Dccchcr as KacwHim,"
in the Ladies' Home Journal. At th At
time young 5eecher WIS not quite seven
| teen years cid, but SO young and boyish
was his appearance that no one would
have thought him more than fifteen
IA age when boys are usually awkward
and painfully bashful. For that reason
my family feared we might not be able
to entertain or make the young man
comfortable. But awkward he never
was, end his rcguish mouth and his
laughing, merry eyes, his quaint bunor
aud his quick repartec soon dispelled
all anxiety.
before the FIRST evening he spent ct
our house had passed none of the fam
lily felt him to be stranger.
Ny father was absent with some of
his patients when the young man ar
rived. but returned in the evening when
nll were laughing heartily ut some
story Henry had just told Father
stood in the doorway-tall, diynificd
and somewhat stern at such q tumult.
When aware ofhis presence my brother
at once introduced his classmates.
Little by little the same subtle inf,u-
enccs which had pervaded the whole
evenings enjoyment stole over fathers
face, and long before it was time to re-
tire they were telling nirth-provolsinp
stories as chcerfully as If they were
boys together.
When, at length, the good nights"
were exchanged, left father and moth
er by the fire, while made some prep
aratiors for breakfast.
AS returned to the room father was
saying:
well, he is smart. He'll make his
mark in the world If he lives"
''Who, father?" asked
"Why, that young Bcecher."
Such WAS Henry Ward Beecher when
first saw him; and, truth to tell, he
was not remarkable for his beauty.

Tho Musical Herald on the same
subject says:
"But when anything was said, sung

appreciated by all but very few. In
= narrow space immediately In front OF
the speakers there were seated men
and women who heard good part Of
prayer, ode and speeches. Beyond, oil
was u blank so far as the ear was con-
cerned. Nor could more than score

was the same with the music. The
only one In that 100000 who really
heard band and singers with anything

Internationally, gusts and pulls OF tone.
To this or thnt hearer, rs var,ously re-
ported, tho tone came sometimes ui.
rectly, us 1t seemed, at others ~ though
reflected. One hearer found that some
sounds were echoed with greater dis.
tinctness and force than was developed
for his ears by their original utteTance.
Something near to real musical effect
WAS felt when standing near tue sing
ers' high stage, on tbs floor at one side,
probably because there was a SHARP
angle OF reflection from the root, though
the rejecting surface was 200 feet oil.

Small wonder that, unable to hear
speeches or music, and often unable ~
well to distinguish the individuals on

roamed about the great building; or,
better still, went Into the grounds
