THE PHILOSOPHER.

The faculty of enjoyment changes, but
never expires.
Evil and night have been partners from,
the beginning
There is nothing modern in the world's
love of lover.
Time and patience are good angels to the
unjustly accused.
Similarity is law, and the law of nature
is the will of God
There is no enigma to us like him who il
broadly our antipodes in moral being.
Time has medicine for almost every all
ment of the mind, every distemper of the
soul
Nothing so becomes woman as caro-
where words may be the occasion of mis-
chief.
Old people are always forgetting they
cannot make young people old like them
selves.
There is nothing stranger than how small
cause suflces us to set man against man,
life or death.
The beggar polishes his crutch for the
same reason the king gilds his throne--it
belongs to him.
Though one be rich, or great or superior
In his calling, wherein Is the profit II he
have lost his love?
Tomorrow may be long coming, but they
keep coming Time is mill, and tomor-
rows are but the dust Of its grinding
There is nothing comes to us, whether in
childhood or age. SO crushing as q sense of
Northumberland Lew Wallace in 1.-THE
Prince of India"
How many there are who spend their
youth yearning and fighting to write their
names in history, then spend their old age
shuddering to read them.

moisture. Over this place flannel or
blotting paper, and taking hot iron

the creases have been made until they
disappear, and then submit the draw

The oldest Trees Tn the world,

The DO tree of Anuradapura was
planted 2SS Should DO 245, Davids)
years before Christ. It's age is matter
of record, its conservancy has been an
object of solicitude to several dynasties,
and the story of its vicissitudes has
been preserved in "a series of continuous
chronicles among tho most authentic
that have been handed down by man
kind. The yew trees of Fountains alb
hey are believed to have f1ourished there
1900 years ago. The olives in the
garden of Gethsemanc were full grown
when the Saracens were expelled from
Jerusalem, and the cypress of Soma, in
Lombardy, is said to have been tree
in the time of Julius Cesar, yet the
DO tree is older than the oldest of these by
a century, and would almost seem to
verify the prophecy pronounced when
it was planted-that it would flourish
and BIO green forever. "-Rhys Davis

We Like Olives.

This country has become within three
decades one of the most important olive
consuming countries Of the world When
olives were first imported into the Unit
ed States, they were a luxury of the
rich. They are still consumed in cities
rather than in the country districts,
and New York, with its great popula-
tioh of people from the Mediterranean
regions, is Of all American cities by far
the greatest consumer of olives. Chi

so called was about one-fourth of the

Gangway has been handed down from
the days of tho ancient galleys of the
PhGnicians, Carthagenians and Ro-
mans, it having been a board which
ran along the whole length, serving as
a passage for. the rowers to and from
their seats 1t was also utilized as a
resting place for the mast and sail
when not in use. The term now denotes
place of exit or entrance from or to a

attack bees on the wing and snap then
up for the tiny speck of nectar contained
in their sacks. Blue jays often take a
position near beehives end fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee ie
caught, but not devoured, for birds will
kill the bee only that they may sip up
the honey. Unless driven away a few
such bird robbers would soon depopu
lats hive.
occasionally the bees organize and
fight the birds. They issae in body
from the hive and make bold attack
upon the assassins. In the quick, sharp
conflict that follows the birds invaria-
bly, get defeated. Indeed they do not at
tempt to resist the onslaught, but seek
safety in flight. If the bees surround
one of the birds quickly enough, there
is little hope for the robber. They settle
down upon him and sting him TO death
He may fly away, but the bees cling to
his back and sides tenaciously. His
fight soon becomes less energetic and
more and moro uncertain until at last
he drops to the earth and gasps out his
life among the leaves and bushes. while
the bees return triumphantly to their
home
