STRANGE SELF-DeCEiT.
What Morbid Love for the Sensational
 Sometimes Leads To.


 Sometimes Leads To.
 A morbid love of the sensational sometimes leads young people, moro especially young women, into strange paths. Many extraordinary instances are on record of the singular manner in which they have imposed upon rela- tives and friends, representing them selves as suffering from a bafding malady in some cases, in others as the victims of injustice or persecution.
 A case of the latter kind was that of the Canadian girl. said to be perse- euted by the receipt of scurrilous anonymous letters. The whole popula- tion was reused into sympathy and in- dignation, and she herself was driven finally into her grave, amid the lamentations of the community, by her malevolent and undiscovera b1e accuser. Afterward, an examination of her pa pers and letters revealed the fact that she herself had been the unknown writer It would seem remarkable that one should be one's enemy to such an extent as to commit suicide by self-per- secution in this manner. Yet psycholo- gists know that such cases are not in- frequent.
 A recent illustration of that is afford ed by the story of spinster milliner, who not only wrote herself prosecuting letters, but actually set fire and de stroyed some of her personal effects in her little shop, in order to satisfy her morbid craving for the sympathy and attention of the community in which she lived.
 Someye ago Portsmouth was treat ed to rather more striking example of caprice, when a young woman of good family carried out for year or two 6 most extraordinary system of decep- tion. She asserted that while travelling she had become acquainted with a young American of enormous wealth. They became attached to each other, corresponded and were engaged. Every week or so she received letters and cablegrams from her imaginary lover, and these she woulduread to, and talk over with, her many friends. The we'd ding day was actually set, when ca blegram announced the death of her ex- pected swain. The bride seemed over whelmed with grief, but her friends be- came suspicious, and an investigation, quietly carried on, revealed the fact that letters and messages originated with herself, and no lover had ever ex. isted. -Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Old Age and Hard Work.

Old people make great mistake when they give up work. Many men who have made a competency in busi- ness and feel entitled to retire from ae- tive work, find themselves declining in health and becoming prematurely old for want of occupation. In most aged persons the vital functions continue in active exercise under normal condi. lions; but if the regularity and modera- tion of business life are departed from trouble will surely follow On the other hand. the Lancet held that If in any direction it is allowable for com petitors in the race of life to dispense with self-control, it would appear that they may to great extent, use this liberty with respect to physical and mental eKertion." In other words, we nalst not eat too much, or drink teo nlchs hutwe can study hard and take denty of exercise not only without arm, but with the best results, and if

THE sASSAFRAs.
One of the Interesting Trees Native in the
 Northern States.


 Northern States.
 The sassafras is one of the most in- teresting trees of the forests of eastern North America Tlie last survivor of race which at an early period of the sarth's history was common to the two hemispheres, it is the only tree in large and important family of plants which has been able to maintain itself 5 in a region of severe winter cold. The structure of the flowers, like those of other plants of the laurel family, to which the sassafras belongs, is curious and not easily explained with refer ence to special adaptation to special ends; while the extraordinary virtues which were credited to this tree for nearly two centuries after it's discovery have thrown certain glamour of romance about it's history.
 For nearly two centuries the reputa- tion of sassafras was maintained, and many medical treatises have extolled it's virtues, although now it is general N recognized as simply mild aromatic stimulant; recently the thick pith of the young branches has been found to yield mueilage useful to oculists, as fl can be combined with alcohol and subaeetate of lead without causing their precipitation. The oil of sassa- fras, obtained from the wood and roots by distillation, is useful to perfume soap and other articles, although syn thetical oils now replace it for most or dinary purposes, and perhaps after all the most useful product of the sassafras tree is the yellow powder prepared from the leaves by the Choctaw Indians of Louisiana, used to give peculiar flavor and consistency to gumbo file, one of the best productions of the creole Kitchen The sassafras is one of the coinmon trees of our eastern forests, and is found from the shores of Massa- chusetts bay to central Florida, with western range which extends beyond the Mississippi, reaching it's greatest size in southern Arkansas and the In- dian territory, where individuals, fully eighty feet tall, with trunks six or seven feet in diameter, are occasionally seen Usually, however, it attains more modest proportions, and trees exceed ing height of forty or fifty feet are nOb coum0n; Huu III tuS noItI1 the shS- safras is usually even smaller, and is often shrubby in it's manner of growth.
 The sassafras is a common native tree, and so is usually neglected by those who plant parks and gardens in the United States. No hardy tree, how ever, is more beautiful at every season of the year, or better worth eultiyat- ing in the northern states. Its fragrant leaves and branches, it's delicate in- dorescence and showy fruit, it's inn munity from the disfguring attacks of insects and disease, and the peculiar charm of the autumn colors of it's foliage makes it a beautiful object, and IS relation to the camphor and other valuable trees of the tropics make it in feresting Garden and Forest.
