THE CEDARS OF LEBANON.
Several Groups of the Famous Trees
Are Still Standing.

Several Groups OF the Famous Trees
Are Still Standing.
Every girl and boy of the Christian
world has heard and read, over and over
again, of the ''Cedars of Lebanon;" but
very few have any idea of the locality
and surroundings of the famous grove.
1t is a popular error, by the way, to
suppose that there are no other cedars
remaining besides this group at the
head of the "Wady" (valley CT canyon
Kadisha. There are, to my knowledge,
ten other groves, some mum boring thou
sands of trees. This particular group
that we are about to visit is called by
the Arabs by name which means,
"Cedars CT the Lord" They number
about q trees, among them u circle Of
gigantic fellows that are called by the
natives The Twelve Apostles" upon
the strength of an old tradition that
Jesus and His disciples having come
to this spot and left their slaves stand
ing in the ground, these slaves sproutcd
into cedar trees.
There is every reason to suppose that
in the time of King Solomon these scat
tered groves were part of an enormous
unbrolten forest, extending the entire
length Of the Lebanon range of noun
tains, about 100 miles, running nearly
parallel with the Mediterranean shore
from little below Beirut. Tie sum
mits of the range are from Is to
miles from the coast.
The Lebanon-that is, the "White"-
does not derive it's name from glitter
ing snow peaks, but from the white
limestone cliffs of its SUBMITS. The
first historical mention of the trees is
in the Bible e Sam.v. ny: "And Hiram,
king of Tyre, sent messengers to David,
and cedar trees, and carpenters, and
masoas; and they built David an house"
From that day to this the people have
been almost as reckless and wasteful
of these noble giants Of the mountains
as our own people are of these cedars'
first cousins, the redwood trees of the
California coast range. AS we approach
the grove, which stands upon the top
of q small hill, the foliage Is almost
black against the snow-covered craga
of Dahrcl-Kidib which rears its highest
peak over 10000 feet above the sea.
There is a Maronite chapel in thu
grove, its patriarch claiming the sole
right to the sacred trees; and, luckily,
the superstition with which the trees
have been surrounded has been their
salvation. All the cedars of Lebanon
would have been demolished for red
wood years ago were not the people
threatened with dire calamity should
they take single stick.-Harry Fern,

THE CAPE OF STORMS. {

We may steer our boats by the compass,
Or may follow the northern star;
We may carry chart on shipboard
AS we sail DER the seas afar.
But, whether by star or by compass
We may guide our boats on our way,
The grim Cape of Storms Is before US,
And we'n see It ahead some day.
How the PROV may point Is no matter,
Nor Of what the cargo may be,
If we sail on the northern ocean
Or away on the southern sea;
1t matters not what Is the pilot,
To what guidance our course conforms;
No vessel sails DER the sea of life
But must pass the Cape of Storms.
Sometimes we can first sight the head
land
On the distant horizons brim;
We enter the dangerous waters
With our vessels all taut and trim;
But often the cape in its grimness
VIII bGore us suddenly rise,
Because " the clouds that have hid It
Or the binding sun in our eyes.
Our souls will be caught in the waters
That are hurled gainst the Storm Cape's
face:
Our pleasures and joys. our hopes and
fears,
Will Join in the niaddening race,
Our prayers, desires, our penitent grlels'
Our longilgs and passionate pain,
Be dashed to spray on the stormy cape
And fly back in our face like rain.
But there's always hope for the sailor,
There is ever passage through;
No soul goes down at the Cape of Storms
If the life and the heart be true,
Ii in purpose the soul should be stead
fast,
If faithful in mind and in will,
Tho boat will glide to the other side,
Where the ocean of life is still.

a Massachusetts Civil Engineer Pre-
scnts His Views.
Massachusetts, is foremost in the
work of constructing better roads, her
example having already been followed
by si:; other states. The system which
the commissioners in this state have
adopted of building one-mile sections
in different parts of the state is that
they are all parts of one general plan,
simply links in the chain, and when
completed ard joined will make contin-
uous good roads through the state each
way. east, west, north and south-a
work that will contribute greatly to the
prosperity of this state. believe every
branch of industry, agricultural, man
ufncturing and commercial, will be
stimulated and made more productive
by it. Good roads are special benefit
to the country districts, where the de-
mand is for better roads than the towns
can afford to build and maintain.
Prices of farm products are fixed at
the great cities, centers of consump-
ton and distribution, and are largely
beyond the farmers control, and the
cost of transportation is a principal
factor in determining whether there
is any profit for him or not. The diff
ference between good and bad roads is

LAWS OF THE ROAD.

Facts Not Known to All Who Go Upon
the Highways.
The talk of the many thousands is
often turned toward the law of the
road. for there is no one who does not
make use of roads either to ride, drive
or walk upon. For the protection OF
the travelling public it is necessary that
certain rules regulating travel upon the
public highways be generally observed.
Our statutes do not require traveller
to keep upon any particular part of the
road, nor to turn out in any certain di-
rection, but at is universal custom In
this country for vehicles and animals
under the charge of man to take the
right side of the road when meeting
others, if 1T is reasonably practical to
do so. A team should, in general, keep
the right side, whether meeting an
other or not. Yet, when two are going
In the same direction, and one wishes to
pass the other, he should pass on the
left side, as the first team has the right
of way and cannot be expected to de-
waite from his course upon the right
side. One passing another must use
great care to avoid collision, as moth
ing but necessity will warrant him in
doing this, for both, going in the same
direction, belong upon the right side,
ard by any deviation from his proper
side one assumes all risk of the experi-
ment. The rule must be very strictly
observed at night, or when, by reason
of storm or fog, it might be difficult to
distinguish others approaching.

conversation. The stranger was Jacob

Irving gave that picturesque country its

MIR. Liant took him in his carriage. and

his grandmother, Mrs. Jones, lived; the
Bill Carl house, the Furman house, and,
lastly, the old schoolhouse, which he at

new schoolhouse recently erected by
John D. Rockefeller, while the school
was in session, and made a few interest
ing remarks to the scholars, touching
upon the difference in the manner in
which the present school is conducted
compared with the one of half century
ago. After signing the school register
he journeyed down Broadway to visit
relatives in larry town whom he had not
seen since he left home. The house in
which he was born is now FILLING to

vines which now almost conceal it from

demand comes from our cities, towns
