A Luminous Tree.

One of the most remarkable OF trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about 12 miles north Of Rlscarora.
It Is six or seven feet high, with a
trunk which at its base Is three times
the size of an ordinary mans wrist
It has numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat the
barberry. Its truly wonderful char
acteristic is it's luminosity, which is
30 great that ON the darkest night it
can be plainly seen mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by its light.
It's foliage is extremely rank, and
its leaves resemble somewhat those
Of the aromatic bay tree In shape,
sire and color. The luminous prop
erty is due to a gummy substance,
which can be transferred to the hand
by rubbing and with the tranfer the
phosphorescent light, while that on
the leaf disappears. The luminosity
is thought to be due to parasitic
form. The Indians regard 1t with
superstition and will not come near
1t even in daytime. They give it q
name which means witch tree. ~

A Singular Man.

The Hon. Henry Cavendish was a
mathematician, astronomer, geolo-
gist, alchemist, recluse and-eccen-
trio. Mr.. Cavendish was intensely
shy. He had quite a diseased aver
sion to all and especially to female
society. The only way to get him to
speak was never to look at him.
Talk, as it were, into a vacancy, then
It was not unlikely that he might be
get going. Nevertheless men were
a trouble to him and women an in
tolerable nuisance. We mention this
as an eccentricity. but there are
doubtless many men who share his
prejudice. He avoided communica-
ton with his female housekeeper by
depositing notes on the hall table.
A female servant he would never
see. If an unlucky maid showed her
self she was instantly dismissed. In
bis villa at Chaplain he had second
staircase built SO that he might pre-
vent the almost inevitable encounters
with the hated sex. To Mr.. Caven.
dish's town house in Cover street
few visitors were admitted. The
favored ones who crossed its thresh-
old reported that books and the nec-
essary apparatus for a science stu.

Then she Fed, Tho other passengers

English View of Our Cooks.

The American is an admirable cook
in theory; in practice indeed he
may fail. The rush of modern ideas
is too great for him. The sewing ma
chine, the reaper and the corn ele-
vator take up too much time. The
application of electricity and steam
to the arts of peace and the ever pres
ent' cares brought on him by the
working of the finest constitution in
the world distract him from his boil
ing and his baking. He has indeed
the same interesting reason for neg
lecting his clam chowder and his
baked pork and beans, that most in
genious and admirable Of all Ameri.
can kitchen products, that our King
Alfred had for letting his hostess

BOYS and their hazings and tricks,
but for real, genuine fun you can't
beat the college girls, said young
freshwoman the other day. Last
year-you know the. mems college is
right near our seminary and so they
cali on us every evening.-the presi-
dent made new rule.
HE declared that we must dismiss
our guests at 0 80, and we decided we
would not do it. After q great deal
Of plotting and planning, we hit
upon a delightful plan, and it was
great success. The boys secured q
big basket and two ropes and pull
ley for us, and this we hid during
the day and at night fastened two
great hooks on the sill of our study
window. The boys sent up their
cards in tho basket, and then after
inspecting them with lantern to
make sure they were not burglars
we hauled them up.
"But one night the grave and dig
nifed president caught us and
planned little surprise for us. He
found one Of tho boys cards in our
rooms and placed it in the basket. 1t
worked beautifully, and wo hauled
him half way up before any one
thought Of using the lantern,
"Then Miss Flyaway held 1t out
the window and took peep at him.
One glance at the spectacles and bald
head was enough. 1t was lucky for
that president that we did not let
him fall to the ground in our horror
and amazement, but we held on to the
ropes until we decided what to do.
1--WE couldn't let him down again,
he would only come up and catch US,
and we couldn't drop him, bad as ho
was, and we certainly didn't intend
to help him carry out his plan by
hauling him up, so we compromised
by securing the ropes and letting
him hang there in pidair,
"He begged and implored to be let
down, offered us any bride we could
wish for and wasted more eloquence
on us in that first hour than he did
during his yearly lectures. But We
had no visitors that night. He
amused us, and we wanted revenge.
SO we left him.
HE tried to jump, to climb down
the wall aud up on the rope, but
failed in everything. At last he
howled, yelled like an Indian, till
every one in the town was aroused

Versatility In Singing,

II asked what further quality Is most
necessary and desirable for u singer who
has acquired her art with fine perfection,
the most tempting reply is versatility"
1t is not enough that an artist shall be
able to sing perfectly one style or kind of
song. The public demands an infinite va
riety, and she must be able, therefore, to
appeal to all tastes, to please all sorts and
conditions of musical people Unfortunate
ly, though, versatility Is rare even among
artists, and far too infroqucnt among anna
tours. My plca Is that moro Of our Ameri-
can vocal students shall appreciate it's val
ue, and approaching It's Importance and
desirability rs part of the equipment Of an
artistic singer shall endeavor to secure it.
1t Is unnecessary to say that before versa
tility can DO acquired the foundations Of
technique and certain amount Of style
must be present The singer must know
how to cling, must have acquired correct
tone production and vocal technique. Then
will come the more specifically directed
labor. -Clementin de We're Sapio Ia La
