A FAMOUS LIBRARY.
It's Hundreds of Unique Volumes Ar
Made Entirely Of Wood.

In retired street Of Cassel stands On
old fashioned, roomy house, the depository
of the Natural History museum Of Hesse.
The most unique and interesting Of the
various collections is the so called HOLY
bibliothek," or library of wood, consist
ing of $40 volumes in folio, octave and
duodecimo made from trees growing in
Wilhelmshire park and representing 100
genera and al species.
On the back of each volume Is q red
morocco shield bearing the common and
scientific name of the tree and the class
and species to which it belongs according
TO Linn9us, specimens of the moss End
licken peculiar to it, bit Of the rind or
bark, and Il it is resinous drop or two Of
the rosin. The upper edge shows the yo ung
wood cut crosswise to exhibit the rings
and pith, while the under edge is of old
wood cut I'm the same manner to illustrate
the changes which take place in the tex
ture as the tree gains in age and size.
The top cover is of unripe wood in the
rough; the front edge shows the polished
grain and also the fungi to which tho
tree is liable when in the stages of decay
or disease. Attached to the front edge is
q cubic inch of mature wood, on which is
noted its specific weight when the sap is
flowing in the early spring, again in mid
summer and still again when thoroughly
dry. Under this is given the degree of
heat obtainable from a cubic inch of dry
wood in a cubic foot Of space, that given
out by the same quantity when it becomes
a glowing coal, its diminished size and
weight when charred, and the properties
of the tree, together with description Of
the soil in which it fourishes best.
The interior OF the book or box contains
a complete history of the tree, especially
of tho organs Of nourishment and fructif-
cation. There are capsules, with seeds;
the germ bud, with rootless and first leaves;
a branch, with leaves in various stages of
development; the flower from the tiny
bud to the perfect blossom; the fruit from
the embryo to its full maturity, and last
of all a skeletonized leaf.-New York

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.
How She Was Entertained by . Quaint
Old ScotChwOman.

OiQ SCOtCoWOm8ns
One autumn day an old woman, while
busily engaged in picking up firawood in
the woods adjoining Mar Lodge, became
aware of a lady quite young, as she
thought, reckoning her to approach. With
true Scottish indifference she. however,
hesitated to do SO, for 80 / jist tocht 1t wad
be the Duchess O. Fife the old lady ex-
planned, land l was thinking she MIGHT
as well come to me as | to her." This in
deed the young lady-who, as 1t happen
ed, was not the duchess, but tho Princess
of Wales herself-soon did. Her royal
highness was the first to commence the
conversation by the somewhat characters
tic inquiry:
do you think look like grandmoth-
err" Deed no. / thocht ye was her,"
was the old woman's reply, pointing to
the Duchess of Fife, who at that moment
joined her mother. The princess, smiling
at this artless tribute to her still wonder
fully youthful appearance, after q little
further conversation took out her purse
and offered a piece of silver to the old
woman. This was gladly accepted, for
Mrs. Mob, although widely known in
Braemar as decent old body, is not
abundantly blessed with this worlds
goods But, alas, when she essayed to put
away the coin the pocket, which proved
refractory, as pockets will, had twisted
round somehow, and, in fact, could not
be found.
With charming courtesy the princess
assisted her humble acquaintance to find
it, and then lifted the bundle of sticks
which had been placed for the moment on
tho ground on to the old woman's shout
ders. and with a CHEEKY "Goodby," &C.
companied by bright nod and smile,
left her. Perhaps the best part of this well
authenticated story was the remark of the
old lady, who, by the way, was not in the
least overcome by the condescension of
royalty, The princess was real helpful
and bonnylike. Liverpool Mercury.

CHESS CHAMPIONS.
Lasker Has Completed the Greatest Record
Ever Made by Any Player.

Lasker Has Completed the Greatest Record
Ever Made by Any Player.
Laslzer, the new champion, has ev-
cry reason to plume himself on this re-
suit, which is almost identical with the
result of Steinitz versus Zukertort in
1SS6-10 to 8, with five draws Lasker
has beaten the man who had beaten all
the world for 80 years or more. He has
played in the past five years 189 record
ed games in matches and tournaments,
Of which 35 were drawn and only II
lost. 1t is enough to say that nobody
has ever shown such record as that.
Steinitz, in his matches and tourna-
ments, has played 259, Of which he drew
7S and lost 81. He has played against
stronger players, especially in tourna-
ments, and has played more open and
hazardous game, content to be superior
without reckoning by how much.
s. No close comparison is possible be-
tween Lasker and Morphy, the less SO
because our fixed idea Of Morphy re-
calls him as youth of most subtle and
fortunate imagination, which seemed to
picture not only the natural effects of
his own moves, but the choices and mis-
apprehensions of his antagonist. His
style was above everything picturesque
and we are losing the picturesque in
chess or should be losing it if it were
not for the brilliant eccentrics of the
amateur clubs.-Saturday Review.

Another French Enterprise.

Undismayed by their experience in
the Suez and Panama enterprises, the
French are undertaking to build another
great canal They have now determined
to connect the bay of Biscay with the
Mediterranean by canal over 400 miles
long, from IA to 215 feet wide and from
28 to "a feet deep and with widened
passing places every eight miles. There
will be 90 locks, each $50 feet in length
and 80 feet in width. The cost is calcu-
lated at 500, 900, 900. It is, however,
safe to say that it will be much more.
It is claimed by its promoters that be-
sides greatly expediting commerce this
waterway will be of vast political sig-
nificance If it could only be kept open
in war, Gibraltar, the strongest fort in
the world, would be rendered useless,
and France instead of England would
hold the 'tkey to the Mediterranean. -

Bought the Ship That Brought Him.

An interesting anecdote is told of
the late Captain Theodore Julius. Some
time ago Captain julius went over to a
shipyard in Camden to take look at
the old packetship Tonawanda, which
was being converted into coal barge.
The captain took particular interest
in the old ship, because of his having
served as mate aboard her in the early
sixties. While he stood Watching the old
vessel, tall stranger approached him
and asked, "Isn't your name Julius?"
The captain replied in the affirmative.
