White Oaks 1900 Years Old.

From the Chicago Record.
Maj. Jed Hotchkiss, of Staunton,
Va, who was one of the judges at
the Worlds Fair, has been prepar-
ing a report on the forestry exhibit,
from which the following inter-
esting fact is learned: In the year
1887 a patent for 10000 acres Of
land in the forests of Virginia was
surveyed, and the usual mark,
probably by big knife, was blazed
on the trees. Maj. Hotchkiss has
found five corner trees thus blazed,
and has cut off blocks showing the
mark made at the time Of the sur
vey, and also showing the rings OF
growth from the point Of the orig
inal mark, which rings correspond
in number with the lO7 years which
have passed since the patent was
surveyed. The average growth in
white oak is only about four-one-
hundredths of an inch year. The
marks are as sharply defined as
the line where two different kinds
of wood are joined, and yet the
outside of the tree scarce shows
the trace of the mark. In that
region there are trees that range
in diameter from Is inches up to
IL feet, and it is probable from
these facts, as revealed by these
sections of wood and from careful
observations by DR.. Hopkins, OF
the West Virginia Experiment
Station, that some of these trees
are over 1900 years Of age.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The World to-

was for this reason he retired from

Gladstone's health and sight allow
it he will shortly be candidate

The Heavenly Blue" Morning
Glory.
From Garden and Forest.
Two or three correspondents
have written about the morning
glory known in California as
Heavenly Blue Gpomoea rubro-
coerulea), to inquire whether it can
be grown in this latitude. There
seems to be no trouble about this,
and although Mr.. Sturtevant stat
ed that it begins to flower late, we
have seen plants in Jersey City
which have been producing flower
in abundance since the LIST OF
Septem Der. The seed should be
sown under glass in small pots in
March, and the plants should be
carefully hardened off before set
ting them out of-doors. This
should not be done until the
ground is thoroughly warm-that
is, not before the middle or latter
part of May in this latitude. If the
plants have become somewhat pot
bound, they will be all the better
for it. When the hot weather
comes they will make a rampant
growth, and soon climb up 20 feet
if they have chance, and every
morning they will produce num-
bers of flowers of the rarest blue,
and from to 81 inches across.
The rich green Of the foliage OF the
plant and the depth and purity of
the color of its flowers make it a
striking object at this season.

Maude was standing in the hall
the dining-room and the kitchen. Mrs
O'Meara was in the kitchen examining
with evident displeasure a sample of
the tea which Maude proposed to serve
Nine. Maladroit was sitting by the
dining-room window, smiling on the
janitor who stood in the back yard de-
batting whether when the grass should
begin to grow, two or three months
later, he would simply let it grow or
persuade the agent to hire somebody
to cut it.
II haven't any of those things"
SAID Maude, but have nice piece of
steak" .
Very WELL" said Mrs O'Meara, re-
signedly. ''The Lorrud knows Oi'm

Mime. Maladroit?"
"Yes, yes; you shall please yourself"
said the dressmaker airily. Then she
sighed and turned her eyes upon the
janitor, who was gently scratching his
left shoulder blade on one of the
clothes poles. Presently the janitor
went into the cellar to issue ukase to
our iceman, and Nine, Maladroit saun-
tered into the kitchen to give Maude
some directions about cooking the
steak. The ice had come pand Maude
was holding IL in her hands, which
were naturally growing colder every
second. But Nine. Maladroit stood
gracefully in the doorway leading to,
wards the refrigerator and Mrs.
OMeara sat on the kitchen table. So
Maude continued to hold the ice be.
cause there wasn't any place to put it,
except on top of the stove.
"Yes, yes, the cookery, it is an art"
said Nine. Maladroit. "In this coun.
try, you know little of it. Now, Mrs.
Fielding, if you will permit, will say
few things how steak should be
cooked. Very well, to begin"
But at this moment Maude discov-
cred that all sensation had vanished
from seven of her fingers. She could
not tell where the ice left off and her
hands began.
"Oh goodness gracious mel she
cried, my fingers are frozen off"
She plunged madly in the direction
of Nine. Maladroit, who retreated pre-
cipitately uttering French words which
ought to be prayers but they are not.
Maude rushed to the refrigerator and
hurled the piece of ice into it, thereby
annihilating the butter which it had
had been her intention to preserve.
When Maude regained the use of her
hands she cooked the steak and every
thing else she could find, and put it on
the dining-room table. Then she had
private interview with Nine Mala-
droit, who refused to eat with the
washerwoman; after which she had an
interview with Mrs. O'Meara, who de.
