BCMIlETS AND CIGARS.
Sure RELIEF for the Man Whose Wife Bu
Cigars for Him.

Sure RELIEF for the Man Whose Wife Buys
Cigars for Him.
Whom lovely woman stoops to folly
and sets out to buy her husbands
cigars for him one of two things is
reasonably sure to happen, says the
New York Press. If the unfortunate
head of the household is of choleric
temperament he uees language and
pitches the offending weeds out Of the
window. This naturally gives pain TO
their innocent purchaser. and is ex-
tremely likely to bring about family
hurricane, with plentiful shower of
tears. If the victim of his wife's good
intentions is suave and a diplomat he
says nothing, but adroitly substitutes
a box of cigars of his own choosing for
the gift which was meant to add to the
comforts of home, and generously pre-
sents the first box to the Italian boot
black around the corner. This is un-
doubtedly the better method of the
two, but it has the serious disadvan-
tage of encouraging the misguided
wife to repeat the experiment which
apparently worked so we'll. This is
apt to be trying to the patience even Of
patient husband. Besides it is very
hard on the bootblack.
Assuredly some method should be
adopted TO prevent occurrences so re-
grettable. Since argument in such
cases would in all human probability
be utterly useless, we venture to sug-
gest another remedy. When mans
wife inflicts on him the gift of box of
cigars let him accept them smilingly,
remembering the bootblack around the
corner Then let him reciprocate by
going out and purchasing his wife a
bonnev approved solely by his own
masculine judgment. The cure may
seem a trifle expensive, but it will
work. The woman does not exist who
would not take the hint. For the bon
net chosen by man without reference
to his wife's tastes is certain to be as
acceptable as the cigars which the wife
buys for her husband.

FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT.
Peculiarly Adapted Co Attract Winged
Insects.

Peculiarly Adapted Co Attract Winged
Insects
AS we all know, there are day-bloom-
ing and night-blooming flowers, says
eshe Cornhill Magazine. The former
lay themselves out for the fertilizing
visits of bees and butterflies; they
are generally decked in red, blue, yell
low or purple, and have often lines, spots
or markings on their petals which
point to the nectaries and so act as
honey guides. The night-blooming
flowers, on the other hand, lay them
selves out for the visits of moths or other
crepuscular, insects, and therefore have
recourse to something like the tactics
of the firefies and the glow-worms.
They are usually pure white and the
petals are often of such peculiar tex
ture that they seem to glow with in
ternal light in the dim shades of even
ing. At times one might almost fancy
they were stained by nature with
some curious forerunner of luminous
paint, so strongly do they reflect every
invisible ray of the faint twilight.
They thus succeed in catching the
eyes of moths, which, of course, are es-
pecially modified for receiving and per-
ceiving the slender stimulus of dusk
and the gloaming\
But the nocturnal flowers have no
lines or spots, because these last could
never be perceived in the gray gloom
of evening. phey make up for it, how
ever, by being heavily scented; indeed,
almost all the strong white flowers,
like jessamine, tuberose, gardenia,
stephanotis, cereus and syringa, which
are such favorites with florists, belong
to night-blooming plants, specially
adapted to attract the eyes and noses
of night-hying insects.

TREES AND THEIR AGES.
They Are the Only Forms of Nature Which
Accurately Record tho Years.

They Are the Only Forms of Nature Which
Accurately Record tho Years.
Elm, 300 years; ivy, 1856 years; maple,
$40 years; larch, 576 years; orange, $50
years; cypress, 500 years; olive, 800
years; walnut, 900 years; Oriental
plane, 1000 years; lime, LOO years;
spruce, 1900 years; oak, 1,5OO years;
cedar, 1000 years; yew, 5000 years.
The way in which the ages of these
trees have BEEN ascertaincd leaves no
doubt of it's correctness. In some few
cases the data have been furnished by
historical records and by traditions,
but the botanical Psychologists have q
resource independent of either, and,
when carefully used, infallible.
OF all the forms of nature, trees
freely. In the stems of trees which
have branches aud leaves with netted
veins-in all exogens, as the botanist
would say-the increase takes place by
means of an annual deposit of wood,
spread in an even layer upon the sur
face of the preceding one.
In the earlier periods of life trees in
crease much faster than when adult
the oak, for instance, grows more rap
idly between the twentieth and thir-
tieth years-and when old the annual
deposits considerably diminish, SO that
the strata are thinner and the rings
proportionably closer. Some trees
slacken in rate of growth at very
early period of life, and layers of oak
become thinner after 40, those of the
elm after so, those of the yew after 90.

THE USE OF PAPER MONEY.
Common to Nearly All Civilized Countries
Issues in Various Nations.


Almost, If not quite, all. civilized
countries use paper money to facilitate
payments within their own jurisdic-
tions. says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat The United States uses paper
money to a greater extent than any
other country, and in notes of smaller
denomination than any other country
of equal Importance. All of our paper
bills except the gold certificates are in
the denominations of 81, So, S5. $40, $40,
$50, 800, $500 and 81, 900; our gold GER
tificates do not appear in denomina-
tions less than 800 The Dominion of
Canada issues 81 and So notes, and
various banks issue notes varying from
SIS to $1,000. Mexico issues paper
money of 10 pesos and upward and the
South American states issue paper of
similar denominations. The Bank of
England issues all English notes in de-
nominations of e5, a10, e2O, $50, e100,
e200. $500, e500 and el 900. The banks
of Scotland and Ireland issue notes of
Ell and upward. The Bank of France
issues notes for 80 francs, 100, 200, 500
and 1000 francs. The Bank of Belgium
issues notes of 90 francs and upward.
Italian banks issue notes of l lire and
upward to LOCO lire. The Bank of
Germany puts out notes for 5 marks
| and upward to 1000 marks. Austria
issues notes of 1 gulden and upward.
Russia is the only European country
which issues government notes, it's
paper money being of the denomina-
tion OF ruble and upward. Sweden,
Norway and Denmark issue by their
| banks notes for s krone, 10, 25, so and
100 krone. India does not issue paper
money, nor does China now. Japan
provides paper money of yen, 2, s, 10,
20 and 100 yens, and the other countries,
as a rule, issue paper money, the low
est denomination of which is usually
ten times the value of the coined unit

THE AUTHOR OF "spARTACUs."
Composed by Elijah Kellogg When = Stu

dent at Andover.
Talking with correspondent of the
Boston Herald Rev. Elijah Kellogg, of
Harpswell, Me-, thus described how he
wrote that favorite defamation of
school boys: "Spartacus to the Gladia-
tors:
1T was while I was at Andover,"
said he, smiling rs the remembrance
of the event came back to him. I'VE
were required to prepare speeches for
our rhetorical exercises, and after each
man had spoken he was subjected to
criticisms by his fellows-and their
comments weren't always so compli-
mentary as they were pointed. Then
the professor would follow with seri-
Gus criticism, and he always found
faults that needed correcting.
$50 these speeches came to be looked
upon with dread, and at last made up
my mind that I'd try to get something
so different from anything we had had
and so interesting that it would hold
their attention too closely for them to
think about points ON which to criti-
else me, and so would get off free.
"Well, wrote 'Spartacus. When
began 1t worked just as l had ex-
pected. They were SO taken by sur
prise that they never thought of any
thing but the speech. You could have
heard pin drop at any time while
was speaking, and they did not recover
until had finished and had come down
to ask for criticism.
"Then when Prof. Payne turned to
the students and inquired: What
criticism have you to offer, young gen
tlenen? there wasn't one of them had
word to say, for they were all think
ing of the piece and hadn't noticed
anyShing else.
Gentlemen said the professor,
we are not here for theological dis
QUESTIONS nor for learned arguments,
but these exercises are purely rhetor-
ical, and, gentlemen, that is rhetoric.
''Then, turning to me, he remarked;
i could criticise you, Kellogg, but
don't know whether it would do you
more good or harm, and so, on the
whole, think will say nothing.

chuckle, II escaped criticism"

Made Love by Lightning.

The late Prof. Morse made love by
Lightning, as it were. He met his first
wife during an evening call at the
house of her father and proposed mar
riage to her before he went away that
night. After some happy years she
died, leaving him with several children.
He remained widower until, at the
age of fifty-seven he attended the we'd
ding Of his eldest SON. One of the
younger ones was what the Scotch
tenderly call an innocent" }" and 1t was
the kindness of relative Of the bride
to this boy that attracted his fathers
attention. He invited the lady to drive
with him the following day. When
they returned from the expedition they
were engaged to be married.

The Superstition. Turk.

There is no land on earth where more
superstitions prevail than that of the
unspeakable Turk. Some of them are
interesting. Ifby any chance a sparrow
or swallow flies in the window and cir
cles three times around the room it is a
sign that a blood relation of some one
present is about to die. There are
many signs and happenings that are
supposed to predict marriage. For in
stance, if a horse sneezes when a young
girl passes in the street she is positive
that her time is nearly come. II her
hair becomes unfastened she knows
that she will soon be sought for, and
II she goes to eat peach and finds its
kernel split she is equally certain that
she will soon be welded.

NAPOLEONS HATS.
EXISTING Relics of the Great French EN-
peror.

Existing Relics of the Great French EN-
peror.
Careful inquiry has led to the discov-
cry that there are no fewer than nine
of Napoleon LIS hats still in existence.
A writer in The Vie Contemporaries
gives list of them. One is in the pos
session of Nine. Claitte, whose grand
father, Gen. Giraud, picked it up at
Marengo. At critical moment Bona
parte started off at gallop, and the
wind blowing of his hat he did not
stop to pick it up.
Another of the hats, says the London
Daily News, is in little crypt beside
Napoleon's tomb at the Invalides.
This was worn on the 7th, sth and 9th
of February, 1907, at Eylau, and it is
the identical one represented in the
colossal picture of the battle by Gros,
to be seen in the Louvre. During the
peace which succeeded the battle Gros
was commissioned to paint the picture,
and in order that the figure of the en-
peror might be faithfully depicted the
hat was given to the painter.
At the death of Gros in 1885 it was
found under a glass case upon a
wooden stand, and it was sold by auc-
ton among the painters effects for
two Thousand and ,forty-seven francs
fifty centimes to DR.. Delacroix, who
presented it to Louis Philippe. The
latter, after the famous second funeral
of Napoleon, ordered it to be placed be-
side the remains with the emperor's
crosses and the sword he wore at Aus
terlitz. OF the remaining hats, one
belongs to Prince Victor Napoleon and
another to the museum at Gotha.
