A Colony Of Yegetarians.

AT Oranienburg, near Berlin, a
colony of fvegetarians was started some
years ago, and is growing slowly but
steadily. Founded in'1S93 by seven
enthusiasts on the subject. there are at
present forty-seven homesteads, where
thirty seven families and ten single
men have built houses and raised
their cabbage. Outside of the vege.
tables necessary for their own food,
they have planted 35, 900 fruit trees,
and $4,000 berry bushes, and have
fenced in the entire property, with q
hedge of hazel nuts. From fnan.

we'll, because they realize excellent

farms, the quality of the vegetables

SMILES AND TEARS.

Ihe smiles that light some kindred face,
To cheer MS when by sorrow bowed,
Are like the glory beams fhat chase
The darkness from the GUNNER cloud;
Dear, radiant gleamings Stthe soul,
The sunshine OF affections sky.
They lit the heart from ghers control
And wipe the tear from sorrows eve.
The tear-drops on some hndred cheek,
When joy is mingled With despair,
Our spirits gloom can II. and break,
And leave joys light rhclouded there;
Can lift and thrill the tbmbling heart,
And soothe us In life'j saddest hours,
And sparkle ON the soul as clear
AS dews that sleep on fainting flowers.
Loves holy smile and PHYS tear,
Like angel footprints from the skies,
They lift us DER the mtrta sphere,
And give us CLEANS pf Paradise.
Oh, Smiles and Tears, yy these alone,
Had we no higher rapture given,
The heart might hope for glory's zone
The soul might wing its way to heaven

Professor Hilgarl of tne Agricul-
tural College at the University of Cal
ifornia has succeeded in growing
melons on a tree. The strange horti-
cultural combination is in the univer-
sity conservatory, and has been pho
graphed ana labelled "melon tree" in
the album of the Agricultural College.
1t stands about ten feet high, has
large green leaves, and would create
wonder in the eyes of any farmer.
Professor Hilgard says that attempts
have been made for some time to Sc
cure fruit on this particular tree, but
all efforts had failed until recently.
Among scientific men the tree is
known as the papaya, and is product
of the tropics. From it pepsln is ex-
tracted, chiefly from the leaves. In
California the tree has been fruitful
in the open air in Santa Barbara, but
none has approached the growth OF
the specimen at the University OF
California. Professor Hilgard regards
it as one of the most peculiar and IN

The melons are similar in shape to
the ordinary elongated melon that
grows on vine, and are pleasant eat

taste. It belongs to the same family,
and its growth from the flower pro-
crosses in the same manner. Hereafter
Professor Hilgard says he expects to
make the tree bear every year. -Balti-

According to Max Muller, there are

which are found in every language.

imitation hair and badly made. 1t was
