restaurant which is frequented by
literary people last evening, with her
parents. "A large and somewhat savage
bull pup stood right in her way as she
attempted to pass: The. baby, however,
was we'll posed and, walking straight
up to the ugly dog, said, as she patted
him on the head: why, doggie isn't

REMARKABLE TREE.
1t Has Enormous Branches but No
Trunk, and Is Kin to the. Boabab.

1t Has Enormous Branches but No
Trunk, and Is Kin to the lsoabab.
What is probably the most remark
able tree on earth was lately discovered
on the promontory of Kinsembo, south
of the mouth of the Congo. It has not
even the vestige of trunk, but spreads
it's immense branches directly on the
ground. Naturalists say that this curio
from natures workshop is a. relative
of the bOabab, the well-known giant
tree growing on the prairies in many
portions of the dark continent, which
has trunk measuring sometimes near
ly fifty feet in diameter, while the
branches often extend seventy-five feet
and more, their ends touching the
ground, so that the tree forms huge
skeleton tent.
For short time every year the boa
bah shows scant display of meager
leaves, but generally the tree is bare,
except for the large, melon-shaped fruit.
The shell of the fruit incloses a dry,
white substance, which can readily be
reduced to powder, and in that form
serves as a specific against fever. In
some districts the negroes eat the
leaves. The trunk of the common boa
bah is often hollow; such hollow trees
are used as the burial places for the
"sorcerers" Of some tribes, that the
earth may not be polluted by their evil
remains. Adamson pretends to know
that one of these trees, which he had
seen himself, shows evidence of being
$3.50 years old, while the untutored
savages still look upon the boabab as
puzzle old and big enough for wor-
! ship.

One of the elevator men in the city

A Years Work.

The twenty-frst annual meeting Of
the United Hebrew Charities was held
in Temple Emanuel in New York
city the other night. The managers re-
ported an expenditure of $138, 895.11
during the year among 1882 appli-
cants. Of this number 544 were trans
ported to foreign countries and 1856
were sent to various sections of the
United States and Canada. There
were 3,545 cases of sickness attended
by physicians, and 1908 articles of
clothing and 1.073 tons of coal were
given to the poor. The total receipts
amounted to $144, 1890.

DIR. CIark's Novel idea.

The Rev. F. E. Clark, president of the
Christian Endeavorers, suggested a
unique plan week or two ago. 1t is to
start a 'tchain of prayer" to reach clear
around the world, and in which every
member Of the society, if he wishes,
might form a link. Each Endeavorer
Is to offer one short petition every day
sor other members and for the cause
at large. Special objects may from
lime to time be included. To become a
link in the chain requires but one con-
aiti0n, viz, belief in prayer.

THE BEGINNING OF the END.

THE BEGINNING OF the END.
The end of tribal government
is at hand. This edict has now
proceeded from the highest Off
cial source in the land, and
those whom it will affect may
rs we'll prepare themselves to
accept it, first as last. There
can be no mistaking the import
of President Cleveland's words
on this point in his late mes
sage to congress, nor is there
any reasonable grounds for as
suming that succeeding eXecu-
tives will deviate from the
course now established on this
matter. No amount of recalcit-
rancy can longer stay the pro-
gress of civilization in the In
dian domain or divert the pur-
pose of the government III
righting the inequalities which
exist within.
Hundreds and thousands of
people in the Indian Territory
will read the recommendations
of the president, so far as they
relate to Indian Territory af-
fairs, with degree of joy
which rarely springs from
promised relief in more import
ant public matters. They will
at once realize that time-worn
systems must give away to a
new order of government which
protects all alike. That old
systems have endured as long
as they have is a matter that
battles comprehension in this
enlightened age. Thousands oil
children are growing up in the
territory in ignorance and crime
while the sway of the bosses
remain unbroken. This thing
is going to stop. 1t is a crime
against society-a foul blotcf
upon the nineteenth century
civilization. Out of the debri:
of tribal government we ar,
going to build a state. throw
the mantle of law and ordel
