"A benevolent Brooklynite whose
summer home is at Washington, CT,
has hit upon an ingenious plan to pre-
serve trees on land not belonging to
himself. Soon after establishing his
summer home at Washington, he learn
ed that the natives Whereabouts had
scant respect for the noble old trees in
which the region abounds. He is him
self lover of trees, so he hit upon the
expedient of purchasing the trees them
selves without the land from which
they draw their nourishment. He has
paid as much as twenty-five dollars for
the title to tree, with the understand
ing that neither he nor the owner of
the land shall disturb it for term of
years. In some instances he has pre-
scented these trees to his fellow summer
residents

A BOYS COMPLAINT.

! think IL really mean-don't youi-
To leave us nothing at all to do
In world all made to order 80
A modern boy has no earthly show.
Columbus sailed across the sea,
Which might have been done by you or me,
And now they call him great and wise,
They praise his genius and enterprise,
Although when he found our native land
He took it for midas coral strandl
There's Newton, too, saw an apple fail
Down from the branch, and that was all
Yet they talk of his great Imagination
And say he discovered gravitation.
Goodness mel-why, / could have told
Him all about it; at ten years old
] knew why things fell, and studied the rule
For failing bodies" in grammarschoOll
There's noble George, who wouldn't lie
Perhaps he couldn't. He didn't try.
But II should cut down cherry tree
My father would only laugh at me.
Benjamin Franklin-what did he dot
Flew o big kite; on Sunday, too,
Standing out In heavy shower
Getting soaked for half an hour,
Fishing for lightning with string
To see II he couldn't bottle the thing
Suppose should fly my kite in the raint
OOplC NOuiu ody bhdu 0unC'
Why should there such difference be
Between Ben Franklin, Esq, and mef
I can see steam move kettle-lid
Quite as well as James Watt did
And l can explain about engines too
Bigger and better than Watt ever knew;
But somehow he took all the praise,
And I'm neglected nowadays
Then there's Napoleon First Of France
Suppose that we had had his chance,
No doubt we'd have been emperors, too;
But we'd have conquered at Waterloo.
Wouldn't have had old Grouchy make
Such stupid and grave mistake;
1 should have sent him the proper way
To arrive in time to save the day.
STILL what makes me feel the worst
Is Adams renown for being first.
That was easy enough, you know;
II was just thing that happened So
And my sister says: IF 1t had been me,
wouldn't have touched the apple tree"
That's So II she sees snake to-day
She gives scream and she scoots away,
To write such things as Shakespeare's plays
Was not so hard in Queen Bess's days,
But now, when everything has been DONE
cannot think of single one
To bring boy to wealth and fame
It's regular downright burning shamel
P.S. When it's fine, shall play baseball;
For you know IT never would do at all
To forget about Jack" who becomes, they say
A very dull boy, without plenty Of play
But wait lswhen q rainy Saturday comes,
AS soon as I've finished Mondays sums
I'm going to build great flying machine
That will make T. Edison look peagreenl

stir. Then the count stepped forward,
saying gravely:
Respect the dead, friends! Fall
back and let the bier pass"
He was instantly obeyed, and the
funeral moved on past the gorgeously
attired throng, who made way rever-
entity, the ladies crossing themselves
and the lords removing their hats. AS
the bier passed the bride, she was filled
with pity at the sight of the young
still form under the white pail, and
taking sprig of orange blossoms out
of her bouquet, she laid it gently upon
the bier. The stern mourner saw the
act and his expression softened little;
then covering his face again, he broke
into low sobs.
"Who is that man?" asked Count
Clairville.
~ do not know, my lord" replied
the man addressed. HE is stranger.
He came to the inn few days ago with
his sister. She was almost dead, as
any one could see. He seemed to love
her very much, and when she died he
cursed like hereto and shook his fist
at Heaven. This morning told him it
was too early to have the funeral and
that he ought to give the cure time to
change his stole after the wedding, but
he would not listen to me-"
The bridal party moved on, and soon
the merry peals of the church bells
were changed to mournful tolling, as
the bier passed under the gay floral
decorations of the door,
"Who is that young lady?" asked the
mourner of bystander.
1.-THE bride? That is Mile. Yolande
de Clairville," was the reply, and the
stranger murmured softly:
MAY she always be happy"
Then he went into the church.

How TO Preserve a Piano.

"Iu spite Of all the efforts of the
Makers" said piano tuner recently, "I
do not believe there is one piano in one
hundred that, with ordinary parlor use,
will stand In tune more than two months.
An unskilful musical ear, 1t is true, will
fail to detect any important discord in
piano for six months, or perhaps longer;
but no cultivated Gar can tolerate the
discordant notes that the best piano wilt
insist upon giving out after two months
of use.
"When you think once that the steel
wires and iron frames OF piano are al
ternately contracting aud expanding
under the variations Of the surrounding
atmosphere, giving constant movement
of the wires and consequent change in
the pitch and tone of tho Instru meDt,
the impossibility Of piano maintaining
q perfect tone for any length of time
must be at once apparent, aud If you
will but reflect OH the surprising fac,
that the tension Of the strings of
piano causes q strain on the body of the
instrument equal to the weight Of 10O,-
600 pounds, you will doubtless agree
with me that piano that will remain in
perfect tune for year Is an instrument
that must necessarily be Of extreme
rarity, IL not impossible to make.
"a piano, good, bad or indifferent.
when new, should be tuned once ;
month. The longer an instrument re.
mains urtuned the lower Its pitch o!
tone becomes; and when 1t Is desired to
have the piano drawn to concert pjfh
the strain on the body Of the inf n.
ment is greatly increased, so muchssin
fact, that the case is liable to yield
gradually, necessitating a second
tuning within week, or two weeks at
the furtheresi. It is common error
among non professional piano players to
think piano shout remain in tui, at
least yea. Proie..,JLa's know let

A large majority of the men who enter
the governmental departments at Wash
tngton remain in the service unless dis.
missed, says the Washington Post.
Many young men enter with the view of
studying for profession, and the short
hours aud regular salary offer ample op.
portunity for this. Some of them carry
out their intention and occupy leisure
hours reading law or medicine. Others
lose all ambition fer better things or be.
come eutangled in some love affair, marry,
and then are dependent on a salary for
, maintenance and compelled to keep up
the routine life. Continued service in
the departments has tendency to make
men timid, and many who quit aud go
out in the world find themselves united
to buffet with the rude, rough demands,
aud return to the treadmill existence.
Each year more women are added to the
department service aud in few years
they will monopolize the clerkship,.
The life of department clerk has some
attractions and may drawbacks. One
thing is certain, his salary, and this is an
Important item.

EXPLOSION ON LAKE GENEVA
Twenty-six Killed and Thirty 9th
ers Injured.

BERNE, SwITzERLAND.-A fri9htful
explosion occurred on Lake Geneva. The
steamer Mont Blanc WINS carrying con-
siderable load of passengers, including a
number of tourists, on tn, lake, when
the boiler exploded, killed manJ and
wounding number of others.
The scene is said to have been tie most
terrible ever witnessed on Lake Geneva.
The excursionists. were quietly enjoying
the beauties of the scene, the weather be-
ing delightful and the water placid,
when the explosion occurred, and in an
instant the scene of quiet pleasure was
converted into a spectacle Of horror and
death.
Not less then twentysi six lersons were
killed instantly by the jagged iron, pieces
of which swept the boat like grape and
canister. About thirty were injured, and
their screams and cries of agony could
be heard across the lake.
Other vessels went to the rescue, and
the injured and those who had escaped
injury were rescued from drowning in the
shattered steamer. No Americans, it ap-
pears. were among the dead OF injured.
