bricatd, the young Chilian tree seen
among them The Araucanians were
a South American tribe, noted for
their fighting qualities. In the late
Chilian war the best soldiers are said
to have been the descendants of those
Indians, and the most capable states
men and commanders of that plucky
little country are said to be men of
Araucanian blood. This tree is not un-
like them. 1t is called InebTfcdtG be-
cause its stiff and hard leaves, with
points sharp, are imbricated, or over
tapping, like the shingles on roof. 1t
bears edible nuts, which the monkeys
are said to like, but it's branches are so
arranged and its leaf points so needle
like that it puzzles a monkey to climb
it. In it there is no sign of stupidity.
1t is wide awake, on guard at every
quarter, fighting off everything that
would rob it, not only with its weapon
like leaves. but with such placing of
its branches as to prevent the agile
monkey from ascending it. In it's
strength, its resoluteness its capacity
for self-defense, in it's dark green, al

valiant Araucanian tribe.
But is there not fighting enough in
our own struggle for existence that we
need dwell on the fighting qualities of
plants? Let us go and look at some
thing different; at the sweet and gra-
cious cyclaman, child of southern Eu-
rope and western Asia, the embodiment
of the loveliness of nature, to which
some reprobate gave the degrading
name of sow bread, because the pigs like
the bulb. Here you see the bud opening
there the long petals shooting down
ward in twist, yonder untwisting,
and one after another rising at the call
of the sunlight and enveloping the bud
in glory of exquisite white or pink.
Stay and look long. The longer you
look the better you will be, for here
nature is tender and merciful and will
drive out of your heart the warlike
feeling aroused by the sight of the
fighting plants. .-Pittsburg Times.

FRATERNITY BADGES.


College Boys Spend Fifty Thousand Dol
lars Year for Their Pins.
At such times as the Thanksgiving
football game, when the college man
is very much in evidence, you may
have noticed the little ieweled pin or
badge that he wears. To most people
these insignia are more or less of a
mystery but the college man and the
college mans best girl will tell you
that the dainty thing in gold and
enamel is a frat. pin, and if you care
to learn more about it you may go to
some man who makes them, who will
tell you that the gilded youth and CO.
eds in this country spend about fifty
thousand dollars year on these bau-
bles.
The Greek-letter college secret So
cieties, or fraternities. as they are
called, have each their special emblem,
which is worn by nearly all the active
members. The design is usually a
simple one in gold and enamel, but ad-
mitting almost infinite elaboration in
precious stones. A plain pin costs
about four dollars; jeweled one may
cost almost any price One of the finest
ever made was the Sigma Chi pin pre-
sented by the fraternity to President
| Cleveland about year ago. The pin
is shaped like aMaltese cross, and was
set with diamonds all around the bor-
der. 1t cost five hundred dollars. The
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity recent
ly presented a very fine pin to United
States Senator Calvin S. Brice 1t was
| diamond-shaped, set with the finest
blue-white diamonds and cost nearly
as much as Mr.. Cleveland's pin. AS a
usual thing, however, the pins do not
cost more than fifty or seventy-five
dollars, although some students spend
more. There is a tendency among
some ffaternities of late to use only
plain badges.
The shapes of the pins vary greatly.
Phi Kappa Psi has a shield, Alpha
Delta Phi star and crescent, Delta
Tau Delta square, Sigma Chi st.
Georges cross, Phi Gamma Delta and
Psi Epsilon diamond Beta Theta Pi
an eight-cornered shield, and Alpha
Tau Omega Greek cross. MANY have
a monogram pin. OF the ladies' socie-
ties Kappa Kappa Gamma girls wear a
key, Kappa Alpha Theta kite, Delta
Gamma an anchor, Alpha Chi Omega a
Tyre, Pi Beta Phi an arrow and Phi Mu
Epsilon harp.
Besides the badges, the fraternity
jewellers also make an almost endless
variety of rings, keys, pendants and
cuff links bearing the fraternity en-
blems. Some odd combinations are also
made, as when a man belongs to class
society such as Theta Nu Epsilon in
addition to fraternity, he will have
pendant with his fraternity pin on one
side and the skull and cross-bones of
T. N. E. on the other.-N. Y. Mail and

PLATONlC LOVE,
Reasons Why 1t Is Not an Enduring Sci
timent,

Reasons Why 1t Is Not an Enduring Sem
timent.
Love between women and men was
not invented for the entertainment of
philosophers, but largely for domestic
purposes; and if platonic love is to
have anything better than hazardous
and unstable existence, the conditions
of it must be such that it may prosper
without conflict with natures more
important ends. Thus we see why pla-
tonic friendships between young peo-
pie who might marry do not endure.
Such couples get married, and their
friendship merges into more durable
sentiment, or else one of them marries
someone else, and then it lapses. At
least it should lapse, for if it does not,
it not only initiates against peace
in a family, but it tends to
keep the unmarried platonist from
going about his business and find
ing himself a mate according to
natures design. 1t is true that there
are women, and young women at that,
who can contrive for a time to main
tain husband and one or two stimuli
taneous platonic intimates. But in
