From an illustrated article on

the Century, the following is
quoted: Zone cause of the popular

prove for himself by taking the time
and trouble to look for it. 1t is
plausible theory that our forefathcrs
saw fewer tones and colors than we;
that they had, in fact, a simpler and
more naive vision; that the modern
eye is being educated to distinguish
completely of shades and varieties
OF color before unknown. And for a
comparison, take the sense of TASTE
which is susceptible of cultivation to
such an extraordinary degree that the
expert can distinguish not only diff
fcrent varieties and ages Of wine, but
mixtures as we'll; yet this sense in tho
generality of mankind, in comparison,
hardly exists. In like manner

Which is right, or nearest right?
"Another cause has been its sup
posed tendency toward iconoclasticism
and eccentricity. But in reality,

The Ponte Margharita, fine bridge con structed entirely of stone at the upper extremity of the Eternal City, is already completed. as is the Ponte Cestio at the Tiberine isle.
 This latter is bridge of three noble arches.

Members of the British House of Commons are signing a memorial to MT Gladstone. The memorial states that all the Governments represented Rt the recent Monetary Conference at Brussels favored the more extended use of silver in order to arrest increasing divergence in relative values of gold and silver and refers to the annual statement by the Finance Minister of India showing his difficulties conse- qusnt upon such divergence. The memorial also refers to the seyefc and increasing depression in agriculture, trade, and industry, and states the memorialists' opinion that the consid- atioR ef remedies connected with cur rency that may be suggested for the alleyiation of prevailing commercial troubles has become more urgent than ever. The memorialists therefore ask the Government tore-appoint delegates to attend the adjourned Monetary Con ference, and to instruct such delegates to use their best endeayors to satisfac- rily solve this important question. At meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce May lst resolution was adopted by a large majority urging upon the Government the desirability of the resembling of the Monetary Conference with view to the estab- lishment of an agreement on broad international basis, in order lo secure stable par of exchange between gold and silver moneys Mexican Finan- cier, City of Mexico.

The 'Yaverly Oaks.

Inc great oaks aU Waveriy, Mass. ars survivals of an oak forest that must have existed in that region, according to the geologists and students of trees. as far back as the Tenth century. They bear every evidence of great age, and an elm tree in the neigborhood, now almost dismantled, with it's great limbs lying on the ground and nearly all of it's branches decayed is the most venerable object in the line of trees that can prob ably be displayed in New England. It is well worth a visit Co Waverly just to see this venerable elm. It is immense in the size of its trunk, and it's dignity in decay is very impressive. The dozen oak trees in the neighborhood are of the sort that attain very great age and that maintain their virility unimpaired
 We know of only one other oak tree in New England that can be compared with them. That is located in Ipswich. and is larger and more venerable appar- ently than any of the Waverly oaks and that and the Waverly oaks, we are glad to know, have been inspected by the state park commissioners and arc likely to be preserved. It is worth one's while to see and study these majestic oaks. They are seen to great advantage in the winter, when their rugged limbs are bare and their immense strength is revealed. and in summer when they are covered with foliage, they arc objects of wonderful beauty Boston Herald.

 The government, so far. though sew eral times petitioned, seems indisposed to tackle the wild horse question or give permission 10 settlers to shoot down these miserable cayuses, thinking that they are all claimed by the Indians.

"One day, for some reason, he jumped overboard Tlle sea was little rough, and it was quite awhile before we got the boats lowered, and we lost sight of him. But we pulled back little way, and soon saw him swimming with all his might, but in the opposite direction from the boat l yelled to him, and when he saw he was discovered he made no further effort to get away. And where he was going is more than l know, for it all happened in midocean. We hauled him into the boat and made for the ship. It was four months before we made port, and yet in all that time Sandy, for that was his name, never spoho word. No one on board could get sound from him.
 "Sometimes he would lie down on the deck and seem to be asleep and some of the crow would slip up and stick him with a pin. At first he would twitch a little and then would not move at all. We made d bed for him down below and kept him away from knife or other weapon, You could tell him to take the wheel and he would steer right enough, but if you asked him what course the ship was making he was silent as the grave, And when we made the first port he went ashore, and l never saw him again. But some of the crew said he regained his tongue on land and thought he had been playing us all the time. But it was strange case. San Francisco Examiner.
