and carefully reared. A few Ques.
tions drew forth its history.
A way back in the POS the seed
from which this noble tree grew was
planted by the owners mother, who
then resided upon the Trv0n Lewis
farm in Radnor. Several times it
has been frozen down to Sthe large

at the Centennial in 1876, as the
largest and most flourishing tree
there, bearing $50 ripe lemons and
about 300 in all. 1t was badly
scorched by the fire at Lauber's res
laurant. which was quite near the
Horticultural annex, and it requ red
several years to recuLerate. 1t is
now perfectly healthy and wonder
fully luAuriant for its age, having
doubt ess few equals outside the
tropics.
Nothing would induce the owner
to send it to the Worlds Fair for

it would have reigned queen, for no

become quite an undertaking, and
often robs it of Its wealth of beauty

that it should be where it need not
be disturbed and have an even tenn

The Decimal Sxstern.

A modification Of the decimal system
for the division Of time and angles is
proposed by NJ. de Sarranton. The hour
must be retained as the unit of time
because 1t Is universally accepted and
1t is hopeless to try to change 1t. Ev-
cry hour. however, is divided into 100
minutes, and each minute into 100 Sec
Onds. The new minutes would be 80
seconds long, three-fifths Of the old
minutes. and the new seconds a little
over one-third as long the present Sec
Onds. Time would then be expressed
in decimals: thus. S334S would read 8
hours 33 new minutes 4S new seconds.
For angular measurements he proposes
dividing the circle into 24O degrees in
stead of 800, with the same subdivision
into 100 minutes of 100 seconds as for
the hour.

The Duty of Physicians.

The horror with which the dissec-
tion of human bodies by medical stu
dents was almost universally regard
ed generation or more ago, is grad
ually disappearing. Intelligent pub
lie sentiment now recognizes the ne
cessity of knowledge in the physic an
which he can gain in no other way,
and in Wisconsin and many other
States, there are statutes providing
means by which bodies for dissection
eau lie lawfully obtained.
II there ever was any excuse for
the crime of body-snatching, there is
certainly none now; and it would
seem to be in the interest of the
medical profession as we'll as in the
interest of the public for scrupulous
care to be taken to prevent lawless
outrage upon the feelings of people
who are bowed beneath the saddest
Of earthly griefs-the loss by death Of
a dear relative ur friend. No physi-
clan with exalted pride in his profess

If generally known would tend to
create in the comm unity a belief that
members OF that profession are de-
void of human feeling and ready to
ruthlessiy trample upon the tender
sentiment of people in deep affection.
The law providing bodies for dis
section In this State would seem to
be clear and ample. If not, it can be
amended. But every physician with

fessional honor must stOutly stand

face, aid he whispered very faintly
but still loud enough for her to hear
him, "Agnes, darling, I have come
back to you. knew yOu would be
true. Come and kiss me, darling"
A cry of pain found its way To the
woman's white lips. In that voice, so
weak and low, and by the words, she
recognized the man before her. John
Derwent had come back to her, and he
thought her true! And for . year
she had been the wife of another man.
"Don't you know me, Agnes3" he
whispered. "Pm dying, ! think.
Won't you kiss me?"
She sank down beside him and
kissed his face, her tears falling on il
like rain. Her husband came tOward'
her, wonderingly; but she motionec
him back, and he obeyed silently.
"It's different coming home from
the one we thought of, darling" Der
went whispered; "but l knew you
would be true, and 1 never doubted
you for q moment, though didn't get
any letter for long time-a very long
time. darling; but 1 knew you would
be true"
He said these last words in dreamy
way, and they knew he was drifting
out to sea again-out to sea, past all
wreck and storm; and on this voyage
there would be no coming back.
Every word was like knife-thrust
in the heart of the woman who had
been 90 faithless, and whom he thought
so true.
.Im sorry, DEAR" he said, mo.
ment after, opening his eyes and smif-
ing in her face; "but we can't help it.
l can die easier with you by me, darl'
ing. knew you would be true"
The bitter thrust again! She shiv.
cred like guilty thing.
"Kiss mel" he whispered,
And she kissed him, once and again
and John Derwent's life went out into
the great Eternal-sallied out to find
the Happy Islands and the lands OF
which we dream-died thinking that
the woman he loved was true.
1t was better thus.
But, | wonder if, in the Hereafter
he found out how faithless she hat
been? Did it touch his soul will
