The Plant of a Pessinist

Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear but clothes
To keep one from going nude.
Nothing to breathe but air,
Quick as flash its gone;
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to comb but hair,
Nowhere to sleep but in bed,
Nothing to weep but tears,
Nothing to bury but dead.
Nothing to sing but songs:
All, well, alas! alack!
Nowhere to 60 but out,
Nowhere to come but back.
Nothing to see but sights,
Nothing to quench but thirst,
Nothing to have but what we've got;
Thus through life we're cursed.
Nothing to strike but gait;
Everything moves that goes.
Nothing at all but common sense
Can ever Withstand these woes.

trees will produce as much sap as

explained by the curious fact that trees
standing close together divide the ag
gregate flow made possible by the area
of soil they cover, which aggregate
would be as great if there were half as
many trees draining the spot. An acre
of ground should not be called upon TO

sugar-that is. no matter how many
trees farmer might tap on an acre. he
would get no more sugar than if he had
but thirty trees on an acre. A we'll
kept sugar bush should yield ten pounds
of sugar to the tree, or 800 pounds TO
the acre. Five gallons of good sap will
make one gallon of strip. a gallon of
sirup will make between six and eight
pounds of sugar. 1t is the hard maple

STYLES In Wearing the Eeard.

Men and women who are fifty years
old remember when the smooth shaver
face was almost invariably the mark OF
a gentleman. 4 few men wore light
side whiskers, but the chin was kept
bare. and such thing as . nustache
was known only in pictures This was
true in Europe as well as in this coun-
try. until the Crinean war. when the
fashion of shaving changed and the
mustache and full beard came in. When
our own war broke out the rnustache
broke ont too. Everybody wanted 10
look fierce and warlike. Since that
time the fashion in boards has varied
somewhat. The mutton-chops had a
period and died out, but full boards,
half boards, side whiskers, inustaches.

however, there IS noticeable tendency
toward 4 clean shave, and il is possible

OIL WELLS IN JAPAN.

Although Japan is one Of the oldest

wells in Pennsylvania have been in
Japan for year sinking wells for the
japanese government. oddly enough,
these wells are drilled under the waters
Of the Japan sea, on the northern
coast of the empire. For at least
twelve hundred years the Japanese
have known of the existence of pc

WAlRUS MEAT.
4 Few Points Of Interest Concerning rhAs
Strange Animal.

Strange Animal.
Lieut. Schwatka described the wal
rus as huge seals. with upper canine
teeth prolonged into tusks-" These
tusl1s are usually from one 10 two feet
in length. and have seen some that
were two and one-half and even three
feet long. When full grown the tushs
weigh about five pounds. Their length
does not seem TO be dependent upon
either the age or the size of the animal.
as often young, small walrus will
have long tusks.
The average weight of the animal Is
about a ton. and ours weighed between
twelve hundred and fifteen hundred
pounds. One was ten, the other thir-
teen feet long. They attain, how
ever, length Of from fifteen 10 eight
cen feet. and half as much around the
fore nipperS. The flippers are some
two feet long. and capable, when ex-
tended, OF covering q considerable
area, and Of forcing the animal rapidly
through the water. Walrus also use
these fiippers 20 protect wounded COM
rades or TO carry their offspring. Tho
inside of these paws is covered with q
horny skin that serves 10 protect their
palms in scranbling around over tho
rough ice.
The wSlrus fippers, when properly
cooked, are considered great delicacy
by the Esquimaux. The flavor Of the
flippers is very similar to that of the
coarser clans. The meat did not seem
as delicate as that of the seal or mar
whal The flesh of the walrus is pro-
tccted by thick blanket of fat-the
which enables IL to resist the
icy waters of the arctic seas. This fat
yields nearly barrel of oil The hide
ard tusks arc also valuable. The hide
is used by the Esquimaux to make
solcs for their boots, or kamiks. and IL
is also cut into strips for their harpoon
lines. IL is from one TO one and half
inches thick.
The formidable tuslIs are used a.
weapons of offense and defense. and
also, it is stated, TO gather their food.
