Origin of " Hail Oolumbta.p ~

Perhaps few people know that our ma
tional air, Hail, Columbia" was orig.
inally called "Washirgton's March" and
was played for the first time on Tren-
ton bridge as Washington rode over it
on his way to be inaugurated at New
York; and during his administration il
was always played on state occasions, or
whenever Washington appeared in the
box at the theater. 1t wirs composed by
Pfyles, the leader of the few violins

ira. The air had a martial ring that
caught the ear of the multitude and
soon became very popular. When Ad-
ans was president, in moment of great
party excitement Judge Hopkinson
wrote and adapted to the music the fa.

name became the most stirring of ma

RAMS HORN BLASTS.

Nothing can make people go blind
any quicker than filing their eyes with
gold dust.
There is always hope for the man who
can be taught what q fool he has been
by one mistake.
The devil reaps sure crop from
among the people who expect to become
Christians after they commit one more
sin.
A wise man can learn something
worth knowing from fool, but fool
is made all the more fool by going to
college.

A WONDERFUL TREE.
1t Produces Glue, Towels. Cloth, Tin
der and Bread.

der and Bread.
Did you ever hear of tree bearing
glue, towels, cloth, tinder and bread?
There is just such u wonder. 1t is
found on the Pacific islands and it is
called the bread-fruit tree.
1t is about as tall as u three-story
house and the branches come out
straight from the tree like so many
arms. They are covered with leaves
nearly two feet long and deeply gashed
at the edges, while half hidden among
them are the fruits, growing like apples
OH short stems, but larger and having
thick yellow rind.
This fruit is like bread, and it is in sea-
son during eight months of the year, the
natives finding good living in it. They
gather it while it is green and bake it
in an oven. Scraping off its outer black
ened crust they come to the loaf, which
is very much like nice white bread.
But it must be eaten soon after baking,
else it grows harsh and loses it's pleas
ant taste.
AS for glue, it oozes from the trunk of
the tree and is found useful for many
purpoSesj the leaVeS make excellent
towels for the few natives who care
to use them; and from the inner bark of
the tree kind of coarse cloth can be
made. Besides this it's dried blossoms
are used for tinder in lighting fires, and
the wood Is in great demand for build
ing purposes.
With few of these wonderful trees
in the front yard housekeeping ought to
be an easy matter.-Chicago Record.

On the making of new sleeves, the

among fashionable models. The linen,

but they still share honors with the

elaborately trimmed and so elegantly
lined that they cost quite as much when

The closely woven but medium

present most attractive range of

are alike popular, but the new blues are
mostly dark, some with decided tint

the purple and silver tints.

CHICAGO, March 31.-The strike of
employees of the big tanneries took
place Tuesday, 1000 men refusing to
go to work. Previous to the time for
opening the tanneries large force of
policemen arrived at each of them and
stood guard for the purpose of protect
ing any employe who wished to violate
the strike order. They had no work to
do, however, as very few workmen APP
peared near the tanneries. The strikers
expect the struggle to last at least two
months and are prepared to remain
out for year in order to prevent the
changing of the hours in days work
from nine to ten.
