The Origin of Famous Tree.

In the famous West Philadelphia Bar
tram Botanical gardens there fourishes
an enormous Florida swamp cedar, the
trunk of which is fully six feet in di-
ameter. This tree was planted under
very peculiar circumstances, we'll worthy
of narration. One day, many years ago,
the great Bartram was riding through
the state of marshes and alligators, and
the beast he bestrode was very Roci-
mantle. So, to accelerate his journey, he
dismounted at neighboring swamp and
cut switch, with which he belabored
to good effect the lean and hungry steed.
The switch did such good service upon
this occasion that he preserved it, and
upon his return to Philadelphia planted
it in his garden, and the huge swamp
cedar is the switch. Philadelphia Re-

Many Pretty Bed Coverings.

There are, and probably always will
be, many who prefer the all white bed,
and for these many pretty bed coverings
are provided. Linen shams, with Dor
ders Of elaborate drawn work, are used
with plain white Marseilles spreads. An
tique lace of firm, fine texture is always
suitable and makes a dressy bed, used
either over white or some delicate color.
The figured China and India silks used
during the last year or two are also still
in favor for bed and bolster coverings,
but newer material for this purpose is
the Hollywood sheeting, fancy double
width material of soft, cream-white cot
ton, whose rough surface is exceedingly
effective when wrought with the simple,
snowy patterns employed for this work.
A very handsome one designed for a
white and gold guestchamber has corr
ventional pattern scattered over it.
worked In shades of yellow and brown
The pattern is first outlined with long
chain stitch, the leaves and shadings
marked, then the intervening spaces
filled with a simple filing stitch, which
is very rapidly done and is yet exceed
ingly snowy. The spread extends over
the pillows, and band of colored rib
bon, matching one of the highest shades
of silk, is passed across the bed just be-

Uses for q Bottle 81 Gold Paint.

A twenty-five cent bottle of gold paint
is capital investment for any woman.
She will find a dozen occasions for its
use every week of her life. Perhaps she
chips some bit of japanese or other
fancy porcelain in busting; brushful
of gold paint over the chip will make
everything right. A gilt picture or mir
ror frame may be bruised or furnished;
call in the little bottle again and remedy
in five minutes and for fraction of a
cent a damage the cabinet maker would
charge a dollar to repair and keep your
frame couple of days besides.
By the by. you girls who are clever
with your paint brushes, did you ever
spend a few dollars at the damaged
counters of the large Japanese stores?
Do you know that you can buy for a
trife lovely delicate vases and bits of
oriental wares that would sell for many
dollars were it not for crack or chip
somewhere. Buy them joyfully, take
them home tenderly and spend half an
hour with your paint box, filing up the
nickswith -four paste, plaster of paris or
putty. Any of these will take color
nicely, and if carefully painted and
dried the vases will be practically as
good as the best.-New York Press.

CHARACTERISTICS of Hungarian Women.

Ao~A~os - AANAAS AtAsA w WHICH,
e The hungarian woman likes to eat
well, takes naturally to swimming, dane
ing, gymnastics, and has not the least
objection to being admired. Although
not specially inclined to sentimental eff
fusiveness, in one sense of the term, she
may, in moments of love and passion,
give profoundly stirring expression to
her emotions; she may clothe her senti-
ment in words of enrapturing naivete,
drawn from the depths of the national
temperament, if it does not find utter
alce in the all expressive "jai," whis-
pered in the acme of ecstasy, accom-
panied by an ineffably blissful glance.
This. is true Of the so called girls of
the people no less than of women of the
higher classes, for grace and beauty
know no difference between high and
low, and often bestow upon a poor,
barefooted, short skirted peasant girl
with her face in a kerchief tied under
the chiu) the same enchanting form, the
same magically attractive glance, as
upon her more favored sister.-W Wilhelm

The Apparition i'm the Elevator

some years ago young man came to
Chicago from Germany. His father had

grain elevators here. | do not know
what the place was except that he had
something to do on the top floor, away
up under the roof. Several men were
employed with him in the same place.
One lay while he was busting he sud
denly stopped and asked his assistants
who that nicely dressed old man was
that was standing back there by the
shaft. Strangers are never allowed in
these big elevators, and to see one there
well dressed was enough to excite COM

one. He insisted, and when they laugh

saw the figure standing. On his ap-
proach it vanished.

make a note of the occurrence the date
and the time of day, He said the figure
he saw was that of his father. In

the old country telling him of his fathers
death. The date and time agreed with

A Terrible Insect.

a sailor ON coasting vessel which
plies between Galveston and ports on
the gulf has some very interesting spec
linens which he secured while on the
coast of Yucatan. Among them is
large jar filed with enormous spiders,
which he says are looked upon with
greatest fear by the Indians of the GEN.
trail portion of that country, and which
are undoubtedly the largest ever seen.
The body of the spider is fully five
inches in diameter and the legs are
short and thick, being especially adapted
to running and climbing. They are
about two inches long and are as big
around as an ordinary lead pencil. The
animal is of a grayish brown color. but
is most peculiarly marked by deep red
bands, which cross its body, extending
clear around diagonally from shoulder
to. hip, crossing each other at the middle
of the back and the center of the belly.
The fierceness of the insect and the
marking on the back have induced the
Indians to name it the Devils Soldier"
and they say that it is undoubtedly the
worst foe to man in that whole country,
making it almost impossible for any one
to go into the interior, for it abounds in
such numbers that no place is free from
it, and its bite is certain death. q
Only one instance is known to Indians
where man has been bitten and did
not die, and this man was wildly insane
ever afterward. The spider makes it's
home among the rocks, and when any
thing approaches it rushes boldly out
and makes an attack SO fercely that it
is almost impossible to escape it. 1t

Kind of Jurors Preferred.

Criminal court lawyers always like to
have their cases on the first two or three
days Of the term If possible The reason
is that the jurors in many instances are
fresh and green at the work of listening
to evidence, and invariably show more
sympathy for the persons ON trial than
they have after they have sat for a couple
Of weeks.
Jurors in the general sessions court
are chosen to try cases for a month.
Every term there are always some who
have never been in the court before,
while of course others have had plenty
of experience and are adamantine. So
the young lawyer at the beginning of
the month dwells on the sympathetic
side of his case and resorts. to all tricks,
such as bringing the weeping wife into
court, and tells the juries of the terrible
results of a term in state prison. New

Why the Shark Is Always Hungry.

B why WIG Is Always hunRrYs
AS it is a source of wonder how the
flea manages to exist in the sand, where
his chances Of obtaining a meal may
not occur once in lifetime, so natural
lists are puzzled as to how the shark
maintains himself. The ocean is wide,
and the number of men who fall over
board small indeed in comparison to it's
area. The vast proportion of sharks,
then, must go through their lives with
out remote chance of obtaining meal
at the expense of the human kind.
There is no ground for the supposition
that the shark can exist upon air; he is
not like the whale, provided with an ap-
paratus that enables him to sweep up
the tiny inhabitants of the seas. He is
too slow in swimming, and infinitely too
slow in turning, to catch any fish that
did not deliberately swim into his mouth;
and unless we suppose that, as it is said
of the snake, he exercises magnetic in
fuence over fish and causes them to rush
headlong to destruction between his
jaws, it is impossible to imagine how he
obtains sufficient supply of food for his
sustenance. M# 81
Indeed, it would appear that 1t is only
when he gets the good luck to light upon
dead or badly injured fish that the
shark has ever the opportunity of MAX
ing really square meal. His prolonged
fasts certainly furnish an ample explana-
ton and excuse for his alleged saYagery

Funny Incidents at Marriage Services.

Funny Incidents at Marriage Services.
Some funny stories are told about the
marriage service in the Isle of Man.

unexpected hitch the bride lost all pa
tience with her future spouse and burst
out with, $50 on. Say it after him just
the same as if you was mockin him."
The same difficulty occurred in another
case. The clergyman, after explaining
what was necessary and going over the
responses several times, without the
smallest effect, stopped in dismay,
swhereupon the bridegroom encouraged
him with, go ahead, pass'n, go ahead!

casion it was, strangely enough, the
