The Sturdy Oak.

In the days of the Druids the oak
was the holy tree the earthly sym
Dol of the Supreme Being. Beneath
It's protecting branches sacrifices were
made, aud out of its groves spoke the
sacred voice of oracle. Whatever grew
upon it was reverenced, especially the
mistIetoe. Celt aud Saxon alike re-
garded it as representing strength.
dignity and grandeur. They leaned
their frail dwellings against its stron=
trunk, aud its sturdy branches so well
protected them from the fierce storm
king that in thanksgiving they hung
gifts upon them aud sang to the brave
old oak.

CURED BY IMAGINATION

what CoIored Water Did Plaques Killed
Less Than Fright. II
During ehersisgs d Bfeda, N che
Netherlands, the garrison was badly
afflicted with scurvy.
SO useless was the medical aid
offered the soldiers, and so desperate
were they in consequence, that they
resolved to give up the city to the
enemy.
The resolution came to the ears of
the prince of Orange. He Immediate
ly wrote addresses to the men, as
surfing them that he possessed
remedies that were unknown to ply
sicians, and that he would undertake
their cure, provided they continue in
the discharge of their duty. Together
with these addresses he sent to the
physicians small walls of colored water
which the patients were assured were
of immense price and of unspeakable
value. Many, who declared that all
former remedies had only made them
worse, now recovered in few DAYS.
A long and interesting account of
the wonderful working of this purely
imaginary antidote was drawn up
by NJ. Van der Mye, one of the
physicians of the garrison, whose
office was thus successfully usurped
by the prince of Orange.
A corroborative proof of the we'll
known power of the Imagination in
affecting disease is offered in the
following Arabian fable: One day
a traveller met the Plague going into
Cairo, and accosted it thus: "For
what purpose are you entering
Cairo?" "To kill 5000 people," re.
joined the Plague.
Some time after the same traveller
met the Plague on his return, and
said: "But you killed 1000"
Nay" replied the Plague. "I
killed but 1000; the rest died Of |

II Is a well.understood fact-at any
rate, il IL is not we'll understood. il
should be-that il is not work that
kills, but worry, and from this text
some very sensible and profitable
hygienic discourses have been preached
during recent years. The conclusion
of the whole matter is this Brain
work Is conducive to health and Ion
gevity, whilo brain worry causes dis
ease and shortens life. The truth Of
this statement and its application to
what we see around us are sufficiently
evident, yet il is well that such sub.
jects should he continually discussed.
A life of intellec ual labor, although
severe, like that performed by the
judges of our high courts or by schol-
ars and persons devoted to literary
pursuits, if unmiNed with excitement
and followed with regularity, is not
only happy life but is seen also to
promote bodily, health and long life.
On the other hand. mental anxieties
attended with suppressed emotions and
occupations which, from their nature,
are subject to great vicissitudes Of for
tune and constant anxiety, break down
the lives of the strongest. Every one
has seen class of men whose early
mental training was deficient, and to
whom the writing of memoranda was
irksome, engaged in middle life in
great undertakings and taxing the
memory with mass of complicated
business accounts simply because they
could more easily remember than
write. Their power of memory for a
certain class of facts is often truly as
tonishing, but the strain is at last TOO
much, and they die before their time.
The brain worry of some of our school
children might usefuily furnish illus
trations of the truth of the same gen
eral proposition. The Ledger,

Tho Art of Longevity.

II seems to be true, as far as the
histories of recorded cases enable us
to Judge, that great longevity has been
attained under such various conditions
of living as to render it impossible to
attach much importance to any Of
them. IL there be any single char
acter common TO long-liyers in general,
or to the majority of them, it il prob
ably the avoidance of excess-or rather
the habitttal practice of moderation
in eating. The old saying, that men
dig their graves with their teeth, has
manifestly basis of truth underlying
it, and it is possible that the art Of
the dentist, extolled though it has
been as factor contributory to length
of days, may sometimes, especially in
the moderately aged, exert an opposite
influence by allowing the digging To
be done more effectively. However
this may be, il is at least certain that

must prbbably be assumed that length

hereditary in families, and may be
characteristic of them for many gener-

SENATOR SALvANIA
Scores Ex-Minister Taylor for
Recently Published Article.
Says It Differs Materially from State
ments Made at Madrid.
Bank Of Spain At Havana May Take Charge
Of Islands Finances.

Madrid, Nov. Ex-senator SaIvania has
written letter to the newspapers here
in reply to the article on the Cuban qlles-
| ton, published in an American magazine,
of which Mr.. Hannis Taylor, the former
United States minister to Spain, is the
| author. The senator says:
Il am astounded at Mr.. Taylor's ar
ticle in an important American review"
Continuing, the senator then proceeds to
tell the following story:
Il met Mr.. Taylor, last April, in street
in Madrid, and though, out of prudence,
l asked him nothing, he said: Spain
must not suppress the Cuban insurrection
by force of arms. She must carry out
reforms.
He did not mention a word about au-
tonomy, but he added: Peace will then
| follow immediately Spain has a friend in
the White House whose powers are on the

by the opportunity to obtain peace speed

President Cleveland.
Il recognized the Importance of the
foregoing declaration and / FASTENED to

thanked me in letter which 1 have re-

Shortly afterward. the reforms of Ca
novas began to be talked about. and L
was commissioned to explain them to Mr..
Taylor and to tell him they would be pub
iished within a fortnight, as actually Oc-,
| CURED. Mr.. Taylor embraced me, saying:
You and l will bring about peace in Cuba
and thus powerfully contribute to the
good of humanity and uphold the great
interests of civilization by ending the
war. the prototype of crime and a return
to barbarsm.'
Il again FASTENED to communicate the
words in the proper quarter.
Just prior to these events, Mr. Taylor,
at lunch in my house and in company
with CASTELAR, and others, toasted peace.
warmly protesting his admiration and
love for Spain, and expressing the desire
to see us succeed in the work of pacifi-
cation.
Shortly after the election of President
Mckinley, when it was mooted that Mr..
Sherman would be made secretary of
state, l asked Mr.. Taylor if Spain would
not have reason to fear a man who. in Il
speech in the Senate. had displayed such
hatred of Spain. Mr.. Taylor replied:
Don't notice that, for Sherman, as a re-
sponsible minister, will change his Opin-
ions. Spain has nothing to. fear in this
respect
In conclusion. Senator Salvania re-
marks: These ideas and sentiments differ
greatly from those now attributed to
him.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN KELLEY.
Ellsworth Officer Thinks stickney's Murderer
Was There, in April, 1896.

I Lewiston, Me-, Nov. Am Ellsworth
special to the Journal says:
Ex-City Marshal Thomas J. Holmes
Of Ellsworth, has received a photo
graph of Joseph Kelley, the murderer
of Cashier Stickney of the Great Falls,
N. H., bank for the purpose of identify
ing him with man held in Ellsworth
in April, 1896, on suspicion that he was
an escaped lunatic. 1t is hoped by this
identification to support the plea of in
sanity that will set up in Kelley's be-
half.
The man who visited Ellsworth gave
various names. His peculiar actions
gave rise to the suspicion that he was
insane. On Sunday evening he
visited several churches and disturbed
the meetings. He went into a restau-
rant and complained because there
were no flowers on the tables. He
could not eat without flowers. He
rushed from this restaurant saying he
would get some and going to green
house he demanded flowers.
He was arrested and banished from
E-iiS"oll III oH d suspeHueu HllttlHluS
Later he was arrested at Bar Harbor
on suspicion that he was James Nc
Gunnigle, an escaped lunatic from an
asylum in Rhode Island. He was held
over a week and then discharged, the
authorities deciding from his descIip-
ton that he was not their man.
EX-Marshal Holmes now believes
that that erratic visitor whom he ar
rested, over year ago, is no other than
Joseph Kelley, who afterwards muir
dered Cashier Stickney.

the WARSHIP LANCASTER
Expected at Boston, This Week, with the
Olive Pecker Murderers.

Boston, Nov. Sits expected that
the United States ship Lancaster, from
Bahia to this port, will reach here some
time the last of this week. She has on
board the members of the crew of the
schooner Olive Pecker. who are being
brought here for trial on the charge of
murder.
1t was thought that the Lancaster
would have reached port in October,
but it is probable that the terrible
weather along the Atlantic coast had
delayed her. owing to the fact that she
is making the voyage under sail alone.
No word has been received from the
Lancaster since she left port on this
trip and she may not be spoken until
she is sighted off the cape.
