THE WAVERlEY OAKS.
Ancient Trees Of Woadrous Beauty In the
State of Massaohusetts

Ancient Trees of Wondrous Beauty In the
state of Massachusetts.
The great oaks at Waverley. Mass,
are survivals of anoak forest that must
have existed in that regiou, according
to the biologists and students of trees,
as far back as the tenth century. They
bear every evidence of great age, and
an elm tree in the neighborhoOd, now
almost dismantled, with its great limbs
living on the ground and nearly all OF
It's branches deoayed, is the most vener-
able object IN the line of trees that can
probably be displayed in any part of
New England. II is well worth a visit
to Waverley just 70 see this venerable
elm. It is immense in the size of its
trunk, and its dignity in decay is very
impressive The dozen oak trees in the
neigh borhood are of the sort that at
tain a very great7age, and that main
tain their virility unimpaired. We
know of only one other oak tree in
New England, says the Boston Herald,
that can be compared with them. That
Is located in Ipswich, and is larger and
more venerable, apparently, than any
of the Waveriey oaks, and that and the
Waverley oaks, we are glad to know,
have been inspected by the state park
commissioners and are likely to be pre-
served. 1t is worth ones while to see
snd study these majestic oaks They
are seen to great advantage in the win
ter, when their rugged limbs are bare
and their immense strength is revealed,
and in summer, when they are covered
with foliage, they are AFFECTS of Won
derful beauty. The state of Massachu-
sets has a duty to enfranch1se these
trees and make them public property.
They are the glory of the state, and al
most as much an object of interest as
the old state house, or the venerable
structure called the Old South Meeting

Presence Of Mind and ConnendAbie
Pluck of a Colorado 1Iiae Owner.
81 have heard of some rare cases of
presence Of mind" said traveller to a
reporter for the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat, but / saw case a few days ago
that struck me as among the rare ones.
We were coming south on the Santa Fe
from Denver few nights before Christ
mas. At about two o'clock in the morn
ing, somewhere north of Colorado
Springs, we went over an ernbankment.
The papers were full of it and I won't
90 into details, but nobody knows how
a millionaire saved the lives of a dozen
people that awful morning. As soon as
we came to our senses we all tried to
get out of the sleeping car. When we
did we found that the forward end was
afre. Jdst then Bill Yankee. a million
aire mine-owner, who has property all
over the state of Colorado, ora bbed up
an armful OF blankets, and, Jumping
across the flames, landed in a deep
snowCrift. He was barefooted and clad
only in his underclothes, but he didn't
seem to mind that bit He spread out
q blanket, piled it full with snow and
threw 1T over the flames This he did
time and time again until he had the
blaze completely smothered- There
wasn't another man in the car who
would have thought Of that but Yam
kee, and tell you it was a plucky thing
to do. don't know whether I'd like to
freeze or roast to death. 1t looked as

As proof of this La Gazette Geograph-
ique says that Quito was 1896 feet above

having sunk 20 feet in the SIS years fol-
lowing 1T45, and but three feet during
the 81 years which interviewed between
1900 and 1881. In 1888 the city's level
had been reduced to $500 feet above

up the total. we find that Ecuador's
capital has sunk 76 feet in l22 years,

iRVING'S COLUMBUS.
A Statue That BIAS stood In Nassau tor
Sixty Years.

There stands in front of the govern
ment house at Nassau. the Bahamas. a
statue of Columbus that has had its
troubles. Historically this statue is
valuable from the fact that Washington
Irving assisted in designing and execut-
ing it. There was time, however,
when armed sentries guarded it night
and day. Unauthorized persons were
forbidden to approach the spot where
it stood. If these precautions had not
been taken the statue would undoubted-
~ have been destroyed. That was in
the days when the home government
was trying to abolish slavery on the IS
land. Gov. Smyth was sent out to the
Bahamas to prepare the property
owners for this change and public senti-
ment was against him. Gov. Smyth
was captirated by beautiful Nassau,
and he presented 10 that city this statue
of Columbus. The donors unpOPuIarity
was for several years reflected on mrs gift.
Slavery was abolished. however. public
sentiment in the Bahamas changed, and,
according to the New York sun, this
same statue Of Columbus is now consid-
cred one OF the greatest treasures Of
Nassau. Graggon. an artist of some local
reputation, modelled 1t in London
in 1851 Washington Irving was IN
England at that time, and he brought
70 Grag9on's aid the results Of his own
extensive research IN the libraries and
galleries Of Spain in qEest OF material
for his Life and Voyages Of Colun-
bus" He displayed much interest in
this work, and the design Is strictly IN
accordance with Irving's conception Of
Columbus The statue was brought
out from London by the British brig
Rose Hill, and was landed az Nassau or

GLADSTONE AS A READER.

a Minutes Time.
II is rather discouraginq to know that
# one should read more hours a day
than the average American is able TO
spend away from business. he would be
able to read only few of the works

Mr. Gladstone, however, is not to be
discouraged by this knowledge. He
goes upon the principle that the only
way to get any reading done Is to read.
In volume of conversations, recently
translated, DR.. Dollinger said: Il think

WAsHSoroS, Sept 23.-There is a
