Rev L. X. Foster, Of Auburn Theo-

the call extended to him 10y the joint
churches, the Sumner Avenue Preshy-
terian and the Taylor Presbyterian,
He has not definitely stated his inten-

taken to be favorable.
Mr.. Foster is young man. He
preached at the two churches with the
evident intention of being II candidate

he will accept the call.

The Old and New LiIacs.

few years ago the writer agreed
with the popular opinion that the good
old Lilac-purple and white-of the
old homestead would be spoiled by any
attempts to enlarge or double its flow
ers or modify in any way it's peculiar
fragrance. But the lover of the good
old varieties must decide in favGS Ut
the best new sorts after careful ex-
animation. The foliage is better, they
blossom profusely when much younger,
the trusses of bloom are larger, the
petals are larger and thicker, the fra
GRANGE is more delicate, and the doub-
ling of the flowers of some of them
give the rich expression and even the
colors of the best Hyacinth. Of the
single towering sorts, well tested in
Iowa, one OF the best is Charles x. 1t
is strong grower, has good foliage,
and its very large reddish purple
trusses are delicately fragrant. OF the
white single varieties Maria Legrayne
is one of the best. 1t flowers wbaS
very young and it's pure white trusses
are large, well formed, and very fra
grant. VI the uOuDlS Vdrl6Cl6S Wa
highly prize the following: President
Carnot, trusses very large, flowers per-
fectly double with peculiar mixed ex-
preston of light blue, pink and white.
Pyramidalis has very large compound
clusters that divide into small trusses
resembling the light blue hyacinth
spike. It's fragrance is peculiarly fine.
Madame Jules Finger, blooms very
young, trusses very large, quite COM
pact, flowers large, perfectly double.
Leon Simon only differs from the above
in the color Of its flowers being darker
in its purple and blue shades. Mons
Maxine Cornu is mentioned last but
in bush, leaves, great trusses of double
flowers, and rich fragrance it is one OF
the best. The only purpose of thess
notes is to draw attention to the re-
markable advances made in improving
this good old shrub.-Pro2 ]. L.

Glnnt Flr of WashIngton.

A tree that rivals in height and age
the monarchs of the redwood forests
in California has just been cut into
sections out in the state of Washing
ton, says a writer in St. PauPs Pho
ueer Press. All the terms which have
been invented to describe big trees
could be applied to this mammoth
without fiattery or exaggeration. An
idea Of it's size may be gained from
the fact that If sawed into inch strips
the lumber made from the tree would
fill ten of the largest sized freight
cars, and the strips of wood, if placed
end to end, would reach from the
town where the tree now is-New
Whatcom, Wash.-across the waters
of the Pacific Ocean to the land of Ii
Hung Chang. The total height of the
tree, as it stood before being felled,
was 465 feet, or about one-eleventh OF
mile. To the point where the first

The Little Girl with Two Faces.

I heard a strange thing the othel
day. 1t was of little girl who had
two faces! When she is dressed up IN
her best clothes, when some friends
are expected to come to tea, or when
she is going out with her mother to
call on some neighbors, she looks SO
bright and sweet and good that you
would like to kiss her. With a nice
white dress on, and perhaps blue
sash and pretty little shoes, she ex-
poets her mothers friends will say:
What pretty little darling!" OF
What a sweet little face! Let me
kiss it." And so she always has a
smile on her face, and when she is
spoken to, she says, Eyes, ma'am, .
No, ma'am," when she ought, and
THANK you," very sweetly, when any
thing is given her.
But, dc you know, when she is alone
with her mother, and no company is
expected, she does not look like the
same little girl. If she cannot have
what she would like or do just what
she wishes, she will pout and scream
and cry, and no one would ever think Of
kissing her then.
So you see the little girl has two
faces-one she uses in company, and
puts it on just like her best dress; ant
the other she wears when she is al
home alone with her mother.
also know little girl who has only
one face, which is always as sweet as &
peach, and never sweeter than wheI
she is at home, and her mother wants
her to be as useful as she can be and
help her. 1 think that l need scarcely
ask you which of these little girls yoI
like the best, or which of them yoI
would most like to resemble.-OliVt

known to science as balaeniceps rex
with its gaunt grey figure, some five
feet in height, its large head, sur
mounted by a little curled tuft, the
scowling expression of its eyes, and
its huge bill, in form not unlike a
whales head-this last suggesting its
generic name-but tipped with a for
midable hook. The shape of the bill
has also prompted the Arabs to call
it, according to their idiom, the ia
Their of a shoe" and it has been desig-
rated "shoe-bill" in English. This re-
markable bird is found in a limited
district of Africa, and nowhere else.

Remains of six Fingered Monkeys.

Science News says that in several
places in the Cape Colony and Orange
Free State of South Africa caves have
been explored which yielded hundreds
of mummified remains Of a queer
species of six-fingered monkeys. All
of the full-grown specimens Of this re-
markable race have the tail situated
high up on the back-from three to
Eve inches farther up than on the
modern monkey-and other distin.
gushing marks. such as two sets of
canine teeth, boards on the males, etc.

She might be fair
Her cheek is like a rose-leaf soft,
Like gold her hair.
But ah! her face is marred by frowns,
Her eyes by tears,
For none can please. I dread to think
OF coming years.
Would you, dear, grow to beauty rare
In thoughts and deed?
Then learn the lesson these two teach
To those who heed,
And in your heart, as life begins,
Give this truth place;
It's only lovely thoughts can make
A lovely face.
