A Queer Peach Tree.

did you ever see anything like this 2"
said Mr.. L. E. Kirby, ticket agent Of the
East Tennessee road, as he held up a
peach seed as large a. mans fist.
well, know you haven't There's a
peach inside Of the seed, and the tree on
which the peach grew is the only peach
tree that ever heard Of that, instead Of
growing the seed on the inside OF the
peach, grows the peach on the inside of
the seed. Some years ago, while was
visiting in southern Georgia, grated o
peach tree on an Australian cherry tree.
The twig bore fruit, but the fruit ap-
parently was nothing but seeds. 1t was
not disturbed, however, until they had
grown very large, when one of the seeds
was pulled and broken open. On the in
side was perfectly formed green peach.
After that none OF the seeds we're dis
turbed antil they had changed color
from light brown to black. Then one of
them was broken open and ripe peach
Of light yellow color was found inside.

Why They Are Poor.

Country editions always remain poor,
but that Is because they are not mean
enough to get rich. In order to get rich
1t 10 only necessary to trust nobody, to
befrisnd none, to get everything and
save sll you get; to stint ourselves and
everybody belonging to US; to be friend
to no man and have no man for our
friend; to heap interest upon interest,
cent upon cent; to be mean, misery and
despised for some thirty years, and riches
will come as sure as disease and disap-
pointment. And when pretty near
enough wealth is collected by q disre-
gard OF the human heart at the sxpen %
Of every enjoyment save that Of wallow-
ing in filthy mesnness, death comes to
finish the work. Country editors prefer
to remain poor, live happy and die
happy. County (Mon.) Senti.

Japanese Fashions.

Travellers have puzzled and wondered
about the serene, sweet expression Of
face in Japanese women. They have
the sunny, merry countenances of child
hood even to old age. A look of sweet
temper and happiness fits across their
varying features from morning till
night, although japanese women have
not nearly SO many rights as western
women have.
What was the reason? At last some
body--it must have been woman-dis-
covered that the fashion of dress of
japanese ladies never changed. They
wear the same graceful, loose flowing
style OF garment year in and year out.
When one loose wasted, loose sleeyed.
all over gown is worn out it is replaced
by another of exactly the same pattern.
Perhaps as the lady grows older it gets
large around the waist and shoulders.
but this is all. The fashion is unchang-
ing as that of rose or lily.
Then the writer-it must have been a
woman again-had no trouble in put
ting the two together and deciding why
the Japanese ladies always are good
tempered and unworried looking. They
don't have to keep up with the fashions.
They don't have to rip out the gathers
OF dress one spring to make it over
into bell skirt, and the next spring
piece 1t down around the waist to make
long tailed skirt of it, and the next
fall cut off the tail to make it "walkinp
length again. Let us have japanese
fashions in America at once. Then our
ladies will look smooth and unwrinkled
and fair and rosy. For keeping up with
the changes of dress is more worrving
than the cares of state.

when Not to Leave q Church.

DR.. Lyman Abbott writes that as often
as four times year he gets letters from
perplexed ministers who declare they
can no longer agree in their minds TO
the creed of their church, and they ask
him whether ON that account they shall
resign and leave the church. DIR. Alb
bott answers unhesitatingly no. Such
course would block all theological
progress inside of any church. He in
forms us that, in his judgment, proha-
bly, half the best educated and most in
telligent preachers in all denominations,
not excepting the Roman Catholic, find
themselves at present in the same posi-
ton with regard to points of theological
belief as the perplexed minister WHO
writes to DR.. Abbott. Thus have ideas
and education changed in our time.
The doctor advises his perplexed friend
to go on preaching the truth exactly as
he sees it, without regard to conse-
quences, leaving the church to withdraw
from him, if there is any withdrawing
to be done. DR.. Abbott, however, coun-
sells way TO get around the rough cor
ners, which reminds one of the fact that
DR.. Abbott himself was lawyer before
he became preacher. The successor of
Beecher writes:
The example of Christ is good one for you
to follow. He knew that his teaching would
revolutionize Judaism. He went on preaching
In the synagogues and in the very temple
ITSELF He never communicated himself; he
left the Jews to do tho communicating.
Paul followed the Masters example He re-
mained a Jew to the end of his life and
preached in the synagogues whenever he could
get a hearing. Luther remained Roman Cath |
olic till the Roman Catholic church turned him
out. Wesley was always churchman SO far
as other churchmen would allow him. These
are excellent examples to follow. Stay right
where you are. Preach the truth; let it just
itself to old systems or remain unadjusted, as
may happen. And let other people find out
whether you agree with them and their creeds |
or not. BY leaving them you disfellowship |
them. Let them do all the disfellowshiping
In doing this, however, bear In mind what is |
the function of preaching. 1t is not to build up |
one system of theology or to destroy another |
system. 1t Is to make men. Do not exhibit your |
theology, but use it. Do not preach your un- |
beliefs, but your beliefs. Attack no mans |
creed; simply employ your own creed in |
making better men and women. If you pur- !
sue this course, avoid polemics, lay aside the |
ambition to be Il theological reformer for the |
nobler ambition TO be q preacher of righteous
ness, you may after all be astonished to find |
that your agreements with your brethren are
more radical and your disagreements more SUI
perficial than either they or you had thought

AS exciting as any horse race was the
trial of speed between the Cunarl
steamer Aurania and the Guion steamer
Alaska across the ocean from Queens

only few times in the history of ocean
travel that two ships have crossed the
Atlantic in sight of each other the whole
way as these two crack steamers did.

the distance in 9 days 10 hours and AZ
minutes, beating the Guion shin INV

The British in Egypt.

The report that since the advent
Of Mr., Gladstone's ministry British
officials in Egypt are treated with
impat!ence and insoleace il probably
true. The Oriental bows to nothing
but the strong arm, and If the
Egyptians have made up their
minds that English protection Is to
be withdrawn, and that they are to
be at the mercy of Frenchman and
Turk, 1t is natural that they should
seek TO curry favor with the latter
by insulting those to whom they
have heretofore been subservient.
Should the conduct reported con-
tinue, Lord Rosebery, as the sue
cessor of Lord Salisbury in the For
eign Office, will soon have to take
action that will either confirm or re-
move the existing impression among
Egyptians, and at the same time re-
lieve curiosity aud anxiety at home
in regard to foreign policy of the
government. Lord Rosebery Ia
known to be in favor of retaining
Egypt for the present, at least, and
II such is his purpose he must see
the wisdom of suppresslng with de-
clsion and promptitude existing
symptoms OF mutlny. The English
have tireless antagonists In the
French, who are never idle at Cairo
In spreading rumors injurious to
British prestige, and who are prob
ably responsible for the new and Of
fensive attitude of the Egyptians
toward British authority.
An addition of a few battalions to
the army Of occupation and an in-
posing demonstration of the British
fleet at Alexandria would do more
than any amount Of negotiation to
open Egyptian eyes to the fact, IL IL
is fact, that Lord Rosebery intends
no change In the course outlined by
his predecessor.
