Many a love affair which promised

where he told her he Gould not live

abrupt turn, and the whistle Of an
approaching train sounded. itSeemed
right upon us. though it really was
on the other side OF the hill. Well,
he flew out on one side of the wagon
and she out on the other. and when
we turned Il ound to look for them
they had disappeared. One OF the
boys jumped out and helped her back
into the wagon. and ONE me res
cued him, but she was 20 indignant
to think that he had jumped without
| caring what became of her that she
hardly spoke to him again. So YOU

through thee thickets unless their
legs are protected in some manner
n thistle is particularly ruinous to
crops planted late in the spring, or
checked by early drought: the thistle,
growing at its best in dry weather,
crowds or starves out many of the
weakened plants. and the grade of
those that survive is seriously lowered.
The crops of N3 in many flax fields and
some wheat land was left standing as
not worth harvesting. This year the
injury is much more evere.
The smallest amoun of damage is
lone to corn and pc atoes for two rea
sons: n Is that the thistles can be

are nearly mature before the thistles

noble memorials of the past. but Il
few still remain, venerable in their
age and sublime in their growth.
The largest and n of the OldcS'
trees in England. a country that pos
SeSses many historical trees, is the
great Salcey oak near Northampton.
Its circumference at its base, where
there are no projecting spurs, is
46 feet 10 inches. One yard from
the ground it IS 30 feet 10 in hes,
and at three yards it is 81 feet. The
trunk is hollow, and neal the ground

l,600 years old.
Near London is Fishers oak. the
trunk Of which is over four fathoms
in compass. When King James made
a journey in that neighborlood. the
schOolmaster and all his pupils came
out OF this tree and entertained the
King with an grafton. In Sherwood
Forest and in other places are his.
torical oak trees dating back to an
cary period in the life Of England.
In the burial ground of AllOnville,
France, there is an oak tree neasur-

Generally u Trying Client.

1t is in dealing with her own Law,
yer that the daughter of Eve come!
out in her most vivid %colors, says the
san Francisco ArgOnaut. When q
woman has a lawsuit she, as a rule,
mentally selects a lawyer to conduct
her case. If. on applying to him.
she finds, as she often does, that he
is not hankering after female clients,
and he observes that he is really sc
overwhelmed with work that he is
taking no new cases, she becomes
convinced than ever that he is
the only lawyer to whom she can
contide her interests. and she half
suspects that his reluctance to act
for her is part Of a conspiracy against
her rights. She insists. implores,
beseeches, e%ntreats, with tears and
sobS, and, in the end, the lawyer
yields and takes the case. From
that hour his peace of mind is at an
end. She is at his Office daily and
hourly. She insists On confding to
him matters which have no bearing
IN the case. She puts hypothetical
questions to him which drive him
out Of his wits. She overwhelms
him with suggestions and objections
t. the course he proposes to pursue.
She interfereS with him in court and
almost takes the case out of his
hands. At last the case is tried and
is either won or lost. If it is won
she believes that it is won on its
intrinsic merits, in spite of his blum
dering. If it is lost it is lost through
his mismanagement. Whichever
happens, she is in no mind to pay
him his fee. 1t is only by threaten
ing her with legal proceedings that
lie can collect his cost and honorari-
nm.

It may be that his immense blast fur

OF instruments of war. These fur.

PetrifactioD.

A remarkable case of petrifaction
was discovered when the body OF
Solomon krcppeS was eXhumed in
Taylor'S Cemetery, near Brownsville,
Pa. for removal to another grave
yard. The grave was near the fence
which separates the cemetery from
the national pike, and it is supposed
that water percOlating through the
limestone road bed had kept the body
covered with a calcareouS solution.
The clothing was found well pre-
served, although the burial took place
eight years ago. The hair and beard
were crisp and felt like threads Of
glass. The body was entirely turned
to stone, and so hard that smart
blows with a pick made nc impress.
