A MONSTER CHESTNUT,
The Largest Tree of Its Kind Growing on
American Soil.

- AAA AS oA
American Soil.
According to DR.. George w. Russell OF
Hartford, the largest chestnut tree now
growing OH American soil is one standing
In the town of Mansfield. in the above
named state, on the land of a MI. Whip
pie Green. 1t is in an open pasture, about
three-fourths of a mile east of Mansfield
citation and only about sc rods from the
owners residence. The circumference OF
tho tree at "A height of four feet from the
ground, which is sufficiently high to be
clear of the gnarled roots at the buttressed
base, is 23 feet and 3 inches-23A feet.
1t is heavily buttressed with exposed roots
Of enormous size, which would make the
actual circumference at the base not less
than 81 feet.
There are four immense branches to the
original stem. The first, which puts out
at a height of 10 or 12 feet from tho base,
Is 16 feet 3 inches in diameter two feet out
from the fork which separates it from, the
parent stem and extends laterally, with /:
slight upward pitch, to a distance of ~
feet from tho main shoot. The above is
the largest branch Of this titanic nut
bearer, although there arc at least three
others almost equal to it in both length
and diameter.
Some of the higher and larger branches
have been broken by the winds which
have whistled through them for the last
two and a half centuries, and on this ac-
count the tree is not perfectly symmetric-
al. However, it is what would he called
q noble specimen Of it's kind, as will be
seen from tho following figures on it's gen.
eral dimensions: Average diameter of
main trunk between ground and first
branch, 15H feet; total height, 81 feet
diameter of spread from southwest to
northwest, SO feet, and from northwest to
southeast, 100 feet.-St. Louis Republic.

ignorant interpreter, he found it difficult

thousands persisted in battle, so many
that tho bodies could not be buried, and
all, friond and foe. were thrown into these

were Spaniards, and that these people had

She Forgot the Baby.

A rather amusing story is told on q
young society matron. The daughter of
wealthy and indulgent parents, she had
never known a care until she assumed the
responsibility of housekeeping at the time
of her marriage a few years g She is
now a mother. Her younger sister was
seen recently in a street car with a child
in her arms.
"Whose baby is that?' inquired a friend,
who was rather astonished to see the young
lady taking care Of a child.
"Oh, it is sister's!" she replied. "She
was out at the house last night, and when
she left for homo forgot the baby. / am
taking it to her now"
But how did she forget her baby?" in
quirod the surprised friend.
"She knew she was forgetting some
thing when she left, but could not think
what it was."-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

I made a trip from Chicago to st. Pau

famous North Western Limited. For
the price of a section in an old style
sleeping car, I secured in the Private
Compartment Sleepers, as cosy a little
room as was ever built inside a railroad
car-not so very little either; it took up
the whole width of the car excepting a
narrow aisle at the side and had two
large berths. I said it was cosy-it was
more; it was magnificent, and we spent
the evening as comfortably, and with as
much privacy as If we had been in our
own home. I do not put it too strongly

Women. with Mustaches.

One Of the old fogies who spend their
days compiling disagreeable statistics
says that mustaches are more common
among women now than formerly, and
that fully eight per cent. Of the women
are thus adorned. This is nonsense.
Probably this curmudgeon's eyebrows
are so thick and overhanging that every
thing he sees appears to have whiskers.
In the countries of the Latin race
Italy, France and Spain omen with
mustaches are plentiful enough. There
is the queen Of Spain, for one. She
does not mind it, for women with
downy lips are admired in those parts
OF the world. Among nations of the
Teutonic race, on the contrary, there
Is squeamish distaste for them,
probably because they are 50 rare.
Women u England are not usurping
mustachesa along with other institutions
which uaan has SUI rendered to g az
vided With them.

One Period In q Chinese Girls Life When

The following letter was written by
Chinese in China, who desired the
daughter of neighbor as wife for
his son:
Son my knees l beg you not to despise
this cold and common request, but listen
to the words of the matrimonial agent
and give your honorable daughter to
my slave of a son so that the pair,
bound by silken threads, may have the
greatest Joy. In the beautiful spring
time / shall offer wedding presents and
give couple of geese, and let us hope
for a long and continuous fortune and
look forward through endless genera
tions to the fulfllment Of genuine love.
May they sing Of plenty and have every
joy. On my knees l beg you to con-
slider my proposal favorably and throw
the mirror-like glance of your eyes on
these lines. .
To this letter the father of the bride
replied that he would .'attend to the
portion Of his poor and poverty stricken
daughter, that she might not be with
out bedclothes, cotton clothing, hair
pins and earrings. Therefore, it was
to be hoped that the couple would have
constant fortune

MERCHANTS AND CRAFT GUILDS

A Sort of Trades Union That Existed In
the Twelfth Century.
I During the twelfth century merchant
guilds arose in all the towns OF impor-
lance in England, and in the nextscen-
fury further development of town
life took place in the rise Of craft guilds.
These associations were composed of
the artisans engaged in q GER
tain industry in a particular
town, BY the growth of popula-
ton, it is evident that when the
merchant guilds had attained their
first century there would be a consid-
cradle number of persons dwelling in
the town who would not be eligible to
membership of the guild either as land
holders or as the heirs OF guildsmen.
Many of these would be skilled in some
pursuit or calling; and naturally they
would adopt the best means of secur-
ing their rights and protecting their in
terests by taking common action against
the rest of the community.
The earliest craft guilds were those
Of the weavers and fullers of wooden
cloth. says writer in the Westminster
Review. The guild Of bakers is nearly
as old, and that of the leather dressers,
or corvesars, dates from about the same
period. At first there was a struggle
between the merchant guilds and the
craft guilds, as the one body naturally
strove to retain It's monopoly of the
government of the town and the other
endeavored to share in its municipal
privileges. But the circumstances OF
the time were such as to quick
ly unite the two bodies in a COM
mon resistance to the tyranny OF
the sovereign power, or Of the great
feudal lords. In turn, the monarch
found it good policy to foster the towns,
both with the object of developing their
wealth, and SO Of acquiring source of
revenue for himself, as well as Of bring
ing into existence factor to counter.

mobiles.

ABOUT CUT GLASS.
The Kind That Il In Vogue and How t
Take Care of 1t.

The Kind That Il In Vogue and How to
Take Care of 1t.
Imported cut glass is now rivaled by
the American production at a price
which,. though high, is considerably less
than the foreign. Owing to the great
amount of work required in cutting
and polishing and the large percentage
of breakage while in the hands Of the
workmen cut glass must always be val
liable. Once, while watching the
process at an American factory which
turns out some of the finest in the
world, / saw salad bowl break just as
it was receiving it's final touches, and
this without any fault of the artisan.
On the piece had already been expended
enough work to bring the value Of the
article up to forty-fve dollars. OF
course, the labor was totally lost.
The two finest kinds of glass, Bo-
hemian and Venetian, are named from
the countries in which their manufac-
ture has reached high degree of per-
lection. In the Venetian the beauty
consists in the delicacy of the material
and form Its production requires both

blowing, while the Bohemian is dis
tinguished by richness OF ornamental
ton through polishing and engraving.
After the rivalry Of England in add
ing a mixture of lead to flint glass,
by means of which was produced
substance superior in brilliance
and transparency to the Bohe,nians,
the continental workers set to
work to regain their supremacy.
This they did by discovering how to
make colored glass or rather by redis-
covering the old process and popular
izing it. AS result we have to-day
the Bohemian and Carlsbad glass,
which is beautiful, though sometimes
made gaudy by ornamentation of so
styled Jewels is, imitation of
pearls, rubies, emeralds and garnets in
colored glass. The result is often a
brilliant medley that will hardly bear
inspection.

A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

How Two Warriors in the Interior Of

Even in the interior of South Africa
jealousy will induce men to fight. If

to decide the superiority of one or the
other, and one Of the combatants is

Toward shutdown while resting near

servant Tom what was the matter. He
replied this was duel for woman
| Upon sign Of the umpire, who watched
the fray, motionless, the sticks were
changed for clubs, and another sct-to
with this formidable weapon followed.
Suddenly another sign was given, the
clubs were thrown away and both ran
in different directions. About thirty
yards from the former position both
turned and lifted the assagais, throw

THE DREAM or CHEMISTRY.

Hopes In Time to Produce Palatablo Reef
steaks Out Of the Elements.
The electrician has one dream and
the social philosopher has another.
But the chemist has also vision of the
alchemist Of the dark ages. This is
how he would solve the problems Of
comfort and happiness which have been
put to the human race:
.'The chemist hopes for a synthetic
beefsteak, for chemical loaf, for a
cup of coffee made. like his saltwater
extracts, out of inorganic matter. He
wants to see the day when synthetic
climate shall envelop the earth, when
the rainmaker shall be a prophet and
man shall hold the string to the unruly
bags Of Aeolus.
Gin that day the food and raiment OF
mankind will be produced in the
crucibles of the chemist. Once more
verdure will clothe the fields now de-
faced by human toll, and the shaggy
woods will spring anew on the de-
spoiled slopes of the hills. There will
be no tilling or harvest, no slaughter
ing of tame beasts. Out of the original
elements chemistry will compound
chops and outlets, knead the dough
and brew ale.
1.-The battle has already been partly
won in the case of medicines and drugs.
The wine at the table d'hote never saw
the vineyard. The prize fruit flowers
of the drug store are innocent of the
orchard and garden. Synthetic chem
istry is yet young. It has made great
advances in the production of glycerine
and sugar It has four thousand devo-
tees in this country who hope to make
the dream reality"
