A Vegetable Candle.

One of the most remarkable of trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about twelve miles north of Tuscarora,
says the Horticultural Times. It is about
six or seven feet high, with trunk
which, at it's base, is three times the
size of an ordinary mans wrist. 1t has
numberlcss branches and twigs, and
resembles somewhat the barberry. It's
truly wonderful characteristic is its lu-
minosity, which is so great that on the
darkest night it can be plainly seen
mile away. A person standing near
could read the finest print by it's light
Its foliage is extremely rank. and its
leaves resemble somewhat those Of the
aromatic bay tree in shape, size and
color. The luminous property is due
to gnmmy substance, which can be
transferred to the hand by rubbing.

sell. Every one knows something of
Gresham and Carlisle, every one is
wondering about Holle Smith, but. be-
fore many months have passed, says
the Illustrated American, Wilson $.
Bisscll will loom up before the country
as one of the strong and silent powers
behind the throne.
He is Yale man.
Personally, Mr.. Bisscll is well calcu-
lated for any looming-up role. He

ing at his inevitable cigarette, and ra-
dating good nature from his round,
fat, clean-shavcn face Plainly, there
is nothing the matter with this mans
digestion.
Mr. Bissell does not give the idea OF
Romeo, and yet his recent marriage
has pleasant singe of romance con-
nccted with it. Miss Louise Sturgis, Il
few years ago, was teaching music in
the Buffalo seminary. She was pref
ty, brown-haircd girl, whose earnest
eyes lighted up with n glow of hope
whenever She thought of the ambition
of her life-musical success. That.
and not social distinction. was the OBJ

projects with Miss Frances Folsom,
her dearest friend. She was deter.
mined to go abroad and study voice

Again the KedIngote.

Besides the stylish and ladylil1e tailor
made coats, with their gracefully gored
skirts en- suite, rcdingotc effects will
multiply continually from this time to
the summer season. These, particularly
for matrons, will take the place of
many Of the cumbersome street cos
tunes now worn, us no wrap of any de-
scrption is needed. or indeed looks well
above rcdingotc dress. The modern
rcdingotc manipulated by French hands,
and much in its effect like a princess
gown open in front, has lost its original
severe appearance through the addition
of waistcoats, wide rcvcrs going over
the shoulders from belt to belt, girdlcs,
cape collars, pocket flaps, etc. Upon a
few of the new models suggestion OF
panier-lilSc draperies appears.

Lost His Pension.

In small village in Maine there
lives an old soldier who has for many
years received Il pension from the gov
eminent, which, with his small earn
ings by occasional jobs, makes him
comfortable.
One day, while at work in the house
of neighbour, he slipped at the top OF
fight of stairs, and fell to the bot
tom. The lady of the house heard the
noise, and hurried to learn the cause.
"Why, Ambrose" she said, ''is that
you? Did You fall downstairs"
Yes. marin, I did" answered the
old man, land for about n couple OF
minutes thought I'd lostmy pension.

meant by that, she said she was glad
of it. After spending brief time in tho
vice presidents room the little party
emerged from the capitol building, took
the Metropolitan street cars for papn's
office and there listened for II little
while to the music of n phonograph.
That little recreation having passed
by, the children sat quietly for five or
ten minutes while papa dictated this
letter concerning one little trip to the
capitol. There are great many chill
drcn in this city who have never been
inside of the capitol. Fannie, for in
stance, is now twelve years of age, and
that was her first visit to the great
marble building on top of the hill
Fannie has sister, Louise, who is in
her fifteenth year, and she has been
SO busily occupied with her school
work that she knows nothing about
the capitol as yet, but She is going to
learn all about it. She has been talk
ing about organizing party of school
girls for Il tour of the capitol building
on some Saturday.
You probably think that it is strange
that children in this city should not be
familiar with that famous building.
But 1T is not strange ut all. They 90

the will of God, whereas in Il republic
the sovereign authority is the will of
the people. 1t is impossible that there
should be any real friendship between
the two forms of government
We must, however, remember one
thing, and that is, that there is an Eng
land within England-an England that
does not belong to the titled classes.
an England that has not been bribed
or demoralizcd by those in authority
and that England has always been our
friend, because that England is the
friend of liberty and OF progress every
where. But the laclleys, the snobs, the
flattercrs of the titled, those who are
willing to crawl that they may rise are
now and always have been the enemies
of the great republic.
1t is Il curious fact that in monarchic-
al governments at least the highest
and lowest are generally friends.
There may be Il foundation for this
friendship in the fact that both are
parasites-both live on the labor of
honest men. After ALL there is q kim
ship between the prince and the pau
per. Both extend the hand for aims,
and the fact that one is jeweied and
the other extremely dirty makes no
difference in principle-and the owners
of these hands have always been fast
friends, and, in accordance with the
great law of ingratitude, both have
held in contempt the people who sup
ported them.
One thing we must not forget, and
that is that the best people of England
are our friends. The best writer's. the
best thinkers are on our side. 1t is
only natural that all who visit Ameri-
ca should find some fault. We find
fault ourselves, and to be thin-skinned
is almost plea of guilty. For my
part, have no doubt about the future
of America. 1t not only is, but is to be
for many, many generations, the great
est nation of the world.

Not Sure 1t Was His own Hat.

Gen. Wright. while in New York on
recent trip. put mp at big Broadway
hotel, where they had one of those
door boys ii the entrance to the dining
room with memory that is phcnomc-
nal. When Gen. Wright went into
dinner upon his arrival the boy took
his hat and put it in the rack along
with couple Of hundred others, many
of them seemingly exactly like it. About
tllrcc-quartcrs of an hour later the
general strollcd out and asked for his
hat. Instead of picking over the en-
tire lot in the rack, as the general
more than half expected he would, the
boy selected the generals hat as
though by intuition and handed it to
him.
'llow did you know that was my
hat"' asked Gen. Wright. his curiosity
aroused.

said the boy, but ltnowcd hit was
