The peach is always beautiful in
flower, but occasionally some individual
tree is almost startling in its attractive
ness. The rule seems to be that the
finer sorts of peaches have less conspicu-
Gus bloom. The handsomest trees in
flower are the wild ones along the way
side in Kentucky, Missouri and Arkan-
sas. Some of these ought to be selected
and treated purely as Towering trees.
Cherries, so far as know, do not have
blossoms which sport into colors, but
morello is sufficiently attractive in

and small enough to occupy place in
an ordinary shrubbery. Then, too, it

~. and Ferryboats In Tsngie, ana :
Gi,l In Red who Liked Gum.
A few minutes before noon the other
day tow of twenty-five loaded canai'
boats SWING briskly around the Battery
from the North river. The column was
formed of four fours and two thraes;
and was headed by two big tugs On
ono of the canalboats a girl in a vivid
red calico dress and with bare legs
swung in a hammock and chewed gum.
There was a strong ebb tide, SO when
the big tugs with their unusually long
tow lines had pulled up the East river
almost to the foot of Wall street and
had slowed up. the twenty-five canal.
boats bounded back like balls at the end
of rubber cords, lifting the two lines
dripping from the water.
The line of boats wrapped itself snug
Nv across the openings of five ferry slips.
Five ferryboats wanted to get out and
could not. Five ferryboats-the Bay
Ridge, Staten Island, South Brooklyn,
Hamilton avenue and Atlantic street
wanted to get in and could not. They
all whistled hoarsely and the passengers
crowded to the sides of tine boats to see
what was the matter.
Thousands of people on the ten locked
in and locked out ferryboats saw the
red girl in the hammock, but she swung
and chewed unconcernedly.
The river became dotted with tug
boats which wanted to get in other slips,
or which just pulled up along to see the
row. The biggest of the big tugs at the
head of the tow whistled for assistance,
and six tugs glided up alongside of the
canalboats and made fast. Then no
body seemed to know just what was
wanted and deafening lot of whistle
signals were sounded.
The captains of the ten ferryboats be-
gan making impolite remarks to the
captains of the eight tugs; the deck
hands on the ferryboats became pur-
pie in the face with suppressed emo
tions: the deckhands of the canalboats
drowned the screaming whistles with
strange oaths such as are used to exhort
towpath mules, and thousands of de-
layed passengers were bathed in sympa-
thetic perspiration, but that bare legged
girl swung on.
The wharves became lined with idlers,
who gave advice. Policemen appeared.
Other ferryboats, lighters, tenders, an
nexes, transports and more tugs came
up. They all whistled. The delayed
passengers lost their sympathy; the cap.
tains ceased to swear .or the want OF
breath; the deckhands howled hoarsely,
and when everybody was on the verge
of dissolution the canalboats were pushed
up against the wharves where they be-
longed.
The girl in the red calico gown swung
peacefully and chewed her gum in placid
meditation. New York Sun.

with the United States began. Iheir greas
chief. As-se-he-h o-lar, or Black Drink, usu-
ally called Osceola, has place IN history
with the most noted Of his race. When
the troubles began the Seminoles were tne
richest of all Indian tribes. When tneir
last war closed they were wretcneu ous-
casts, begging n refuge with tneir oreeA
kipsman in the west. In 1875 they were
by treaty recognized as a nation ana re-
ceiyed their allotment just west OF the
Greeks. Thus was completed the estao.
lishment of the SO called i've civilized
tribes. but the Choctaws anil Chlckasaws
are now one nation. The history of these
last is but commonplace one OF en-
croaching whites and slowly retreating
aborigines. :,
In the Cherokees, however, centers all
the romance Of Indian history. They are
sometimes spoken of AS the arlstocracy OF
the red race" and certain it is that when
first encountered by the whites they were
q superior people, and that they have main
tanned some progress ever since. Their
line of march and successive occupation
across the continent from the Yemassee to
the Arkansas can be traced by broad belt
of local names-C onesauga, Etowah, Cos
tenaula, Ellijay, Dahlonega, Chickamauga
and many more, each composed Of single
syllable descriptive words, the whole name
being simply brief description OF the
place or thing, or Of some marked feature
Of it as it appeared to the Indians. Such
is the genius of all the Indian tongues.
They are polysynthetic. that is, composed
of limited number of radical syllables,
which may be combined at will to form
any new word that is needed. But advanced
tribes, like the Creeks, Cherokees and
others have many fixed terms and more
complicated speech.
And it was this language, in what might
be called its second stage of Development

were beginning to harden into fixed words

1t is matter of common observation
that Hebrews as rule are more than
ordinarily devoted to their families, and
Their home life is beautiful in many
ways. As everything has cause, the
most plausible one in this regard appears
to me to be the severe prosecutions to
which that race has been subjected for
centuries, compelling clannishness and
aifording them their greatest happiness

through numberless generations would
surely Institute racial popularity such
as this.-S. V. Clevenger in Science.

When in HARLEM, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls, and without making
himself known said that he was anxious
to have his portrait painted, bat as he
was in great hurry he could spare but
two hours, at the end of which the por-
trait must be done. Halls went to work
and finished it, and vandyke was much
pleased. But portrait painting seemed
very little thing, said Vandyke. and
he asked Halls to change places with
him. Halls did so, and AS Vandyke fin
ished his work Halls Rugged him enthu-
siastically, saying; "You are Vandyke.

done" And so the two great masters
