Musical Recitation.

Although the Quakers, as sect, do not favor music, regarding 1t as a profit less amusement indulged in by the worlds people, there are occasionally stories told which show that tho love of music sometimes steals it's way into n Quaker household in spite of discipline.
 George Thompson, the famous English abolitionist, whilo featuring on the abo- lition of slavery in the British provinces, stopped one night with Quaker family. He was great lover of music, and at that time was good singer.
 During the evening he sang "Oft In tho Silly Night " which was listened to with the closest attention.
 In the morning his Quaker hostess appeared somewhat uneasy. She wished to hear the song again, but it would hardly do she thought, for her to re- quest its repetition. At last, however, her desire overeame her scruples.
 "George, ? she said, with faint pink color i'll her soft cheeks, twill theo re- peat the words of last evening i'll thy usual manner?" ?"-Youth Companion.

A Society In New York City to Beautify
 the Avenues.
 Without doubt the Treeg'Planing as- sociation of New York mas undertken most benefoent wonfk. So far q it proves to be practicable, it will contrib ute as much as any othelr scheme tbt could bo projected for the embellisi- ment of the city. The incorinorators re to considerable extent the same as tle incorporators of the Botanic A1arder- men well known for public spirit and intelligence, Thus the society begins under the most favorable possible aus. piees, for caution and discrimination as well as for enterprise.
 Of course it's work will be largely ex- perimental. There are streets, even resi- dential streets, in New York in which 1t may not Le wise to attempt tree plant ing at all, ftr the reason that the space cannot be spared, either from the side walk or the roadway, for the boxes that must protect the young trees or for the trunks of such as live to maturity. Even in those streets in which there is room enough for trees there are many places in which no trees can thrive by reason of the lack of sunshine and, indeed, there are scarcely any streets in New York below tho park in which trees can be expected 10 do so well as in a place like Washington, where the streets are so wide and tho buildings so low as to give all trees that may be planted a fair chance for life. Almost the only streets in New York that are as favorably sit uated are the Broadway boulevard and the Riverside drive. The boulevard has been until within the past few months dismal monument to municipal neg lecf Now it is kept in order, but time is required to replace the trees that have been allowed to die, and the double TOW of trees that were meant Thigh over arched to embower" does not embower at all, but presents upon the whole 6 seraggy and dismal spectacle.
 This, of course, comes mainly from neglect, for there is no reason why trees ill this thoroughfare should not thrive if they can be made to thrive anywhere in New York. The general introduction of electric lighting will do much for the trees unless gas is still carried through the ground for fuel. Itis given out that uneontaminated earth will be used for the setting of the new trees, but, judg- ing from what we have experienced i'll the opening of Fifth avenue for a sewer and the previous openings of other ave- nues for laying cables, the peroolation of tho gas through the fresh soil would be a matter of only weeks at the longest. The new association is plainly destined to encounter many obstacles. If it suo- ceeds in gaining even partial victory over them, 1t will entitle itself to the gratitude of all New Workers.

THE MISTAKE SHE MADE.

 stood Each Other.
 She sat by the car window. gazing out upon the unrolling scenery and DOS slbly dreaming of home and things like that.
 About six feet away from her, across the aisle, was an empty seat, which at the next station was filled by man With sample case. He was 50 years of age or thereabout and was quite as dap per looking as if he were 30 and still the knight to please every fair dame who set her soft eyes upon him.
 The lady was young and pretty, with perhaps shade too much display in her makeup, but still one could hardly say that, for all is not gold that glitters in such cases-or words to that effect.
 When the nan had sat down in the vacant seat and composed himself for the journey before him, he began to look about to familiarize himself with his environments, and in the course of his visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the young lady. He gave a slight start, as people do when they think they see somebody they know, and looked again.
 The lady wasn't looking, of course. But she wasn't asleep.
 Not i'll the slightest.
 After minute or two or three or four of hesitating investigation the trav- cling man, for it was he, arose and very politely and deferentially approached the young lady.
 It was done as if he had been praotio- ing that sort of thing ever since he had picked up the first sample case. Either that or he was to tho manner born.
 Il beg your pardon, he said as sho turned from the window to meet him with a half startled, fawnliko move ment not altogether unusual OH such occasions, "aren't you Miss Morton of Philadelphia?
 She gave him glassy stare with a raw edge on it.
 "You don't look like man, " she re. piled with an insolent air, "who would try to work as old a racket as that on me- Do look so green as that?''
 It was now his turn to gaze at her i'll startled wonder
 "Oh, that's all right, " sho laughed, moving over to make room beside her, and IT forgive you. You know am not Miss Morton of Philadelphia or any where else, and so do I know it. But sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just as soon have a pleasant little talk with you as not. I'm to meet mamma at the sta tion where we take dinner. '
 1T beg your pardon, said the travel ing man, backing away. I am sure il you are not Miss Morton I have no de. sire whatever to talk with you. :"
 Then he went back to his place, and the flip young woman was rather in- clined to the opinion that there was al least one man on the road who could be mistaken honestly.
 All of which occurred between Wash ington and New York within the last two weeks. Washington Star

KILLING WOLVES.
Some of the Methods Used to Get Rid of
 the Pests.

Some of the Methods Used to Get Rid oi
 the Pests.
 Whole families of the animals arc sometimes asphyxiated ill their dons. A wolf of tho gray variety generally makes its home by getting on the side of dirt guloh and burrowing straight inward until safe distance from the surface is reached There her young are born and raised to sturdy cub estate.
 When a cowboy locates a den ill which he believes the entire family to be gatIerod, q composite mass of cotton, saturated with damp flour sulphur and other noxious smelling substances, is thrust into the den and set on fire. The mouth of the hole is then filled with clay tamped down solidly, and the inn prisoned wolves are speedily suffooated within In this way from 6 to 10 and II wolves, young and old, are wiped out at one stroke.
 Another effective method is to bore four or moro holes ill flat piece of board and plug them up with beef fat soaked ill strychnino Tho odor of the fat attracts any wolves that may be ill the vicinity, and they lick tho fat yora- ciously until the leavefipg of poison does it's work upon thom and they drop dead Very often as many as dozen wolves are killed off hy this process be- fore the fat i'll the holes is exhausted.
 Strychnine inclosed in capsules is also used. The capsule is thrust into slit cut in chunk of beef, and the wolf, bolting the meat whole, falls all easy victim. Steel traps, baited with raw beef, are also tried with fair success. = Denver Republican.
