e.tt,nr Ready for the Dash.

A vigorous denial comes from st.
Petersburg of the recent report that
Russia had made secret bergain with
the Amir of Afghanistan for extending
Russian railway communication to
Herat. The story appears to have
originated in therecent opening OF the
line to Kushk, point two or three
hundred miles of. The arrival Of tho
first locomotive scared the natives so
badly that the amir caused a procla-
nation to be made that the Russians
had no other object than the improve
ment of the country. 1t is reported
also that the proclamation declared
that Alfghanistan could depend upon
her allies in the event of any aggres-
siye movement on the part of Russia.
The real truth appears to be that the
new Russian line is strategic coun-
terpart of q railroad which the English
have lust constructed on their side of
the Afghan. frontier. 1t is now said
in India that the Russians are accumu-
lating at the Kushk all tn, material
necessary for the construction of q
light railroad to Eerat, in the case Of
an emergency, while in st. Petersburg
the English are accused of doing e1-
actly the same thing. Evidently both
sides are preparing for forward dash

The conclave must assemble ten

cardinals go in procession, two and

singing "Veni Creator Spiritus," to
take possession of the cells assigned

reflections of Il Bachelor

The young die good.
WHAT'S the good of nothing? Any
thing.
A man loves an ideal; woman
idealizes love.
Lots of life's omelets turn ont to be
scrambles.
TO test woman's breeding, lie to
her; to test her tact, compliment her.
The more a man thinks OF who made
him do it the harder he beats the car
pet.
A woman thinks you can burnish
up your heart the same way you pol
ish the silver.
The only thing that keeps women
from starting revolutions is that they
have to so shopping.
From wifehood comes a woman's
disillusions and sorrows; from moth
erhood her hopes and ideals.
When a woman wants to he revenged
on man she only has to ask him to
carry haudbo2 for her.
1t is only small-souled women who
do not know that it is on ysmall-souled
men who 10 not she'd tears.
A man can't respect woman unless
she is better than he is woman re-
spects any man who admires her.
You can patch up broken heart SO
that it will keep on loving any old
thing, but when faith is shattered it is
done for.
No matter how much a man loves
his wife he will sneak out Of the room
when he hears her telling how they
never had cross word.

were rich she would do lots of good

acute interest to the civilized prld.
When the news of Leo XIII: 'ssud-
den illness was circulated receniy, it
was believed that his great ag and
feebleness would make it extrmely
doubtful whether he could un ergo
the operation which his physiciaB de-
cided to be necessary. His lines re-
suited from tumor on the thi9, of
thirty years growth, the ezcisiin OF
which he bore with much fortiilde.
His physical condition, however. was
such that the slightest indispostion
could only have a serious result, and
the princes of the Roman Chrch
realized the fact that the day was not
far distant when another Pontiff aust
be chosen to the throne Of the PapcS.

THE SAP OF TREES.
Does Not ASCEND in the Spring aneDe-
ftfrn iii the Fall.

ttrrn iii the Fall.
Probably nearly nine cut of every !
ten believe that sap ascends IN tne
spring and returns in the fall. AZ
though I have never been able to find
ANYTHING to the contrary in any book
l have ever seen, I know from long
and careful observation that this IS not
SO, SAYS an expert in Forest and
Stream. The sap never descends.
1t fulfills it's Office in causing the
growth of the leaves and adding an
other to the rings which indicate the
annual growth OF the tree. So soon
DIS the leaves fail the sap begins to re-
ascend: This can bs proved IN varl-
6us ways. Any farmer who has cut a
pile of hard wood III November has
noticed the sap flies gathering around
the ends of the sticks on warm days:
They are attracted by the sap, which
can be seen issuing from the ends OF
the sticks, which sap has already be-
gun to ascend before the sticks were
cut. Any hunter who has set line
of log traps for sable has noticed Inc
sap flowing from maple sticks on
warm DAYS in November. Partridges
begin to bud in November, and lind
something beside dry twigs, or they
would not bud. But still more con-
vincing proof is that in some warm
falls I have known maple syrup to be
made and sold in quantities of several
gallons at TIME. Pussy willows,
where growing in wet places, often
bloom In warm November and De-
eember: One cat see that the buds
ori the horse chestnuts .are swelling III
january. The sap which is proved TO
be present in MI these cases is not the
sap which went up in the spring de-
scending, but new sap, which is going
up. No one ever speaks of the sap IN
q cornstalb going down in the fall. 1t
has fed the leaves and matured the
corn; and its work ended there; so IN
the tree each year the sap has finished
its work when the leaves have ma
tured, and a new crop of sup at once
begins to take its place: VI course,
this sap cannot ascend when tile wood
is frozen, but whenever the wood IS
thawed it keeps ascending.
Another popular error is that trees
in growing carry their branches up
with them as they grow-or, to make
it palmer, that q limb which is five
feet from the ground will in time be
ten feet. The fact is that limbs grow
as much lower on the lower side as
they do higher on the upper side, and
no more. A limb which is an inch IN
diameter If il grows to be three inches
will be an inch further from the
ground on the upper side and m inch
nearer on the other side. The forks
or crotches in trees often get to be
considerably higher, from the two
branches which form it growing to-
esther as they increase in size. Ihe
top of the tree grows up, but limbs &c
not rise above where they are when
they first start out.

awakened by burglar who had en-
tered her bedroom. A light was burn
ing in the room, and she saw the man
standing at the foot of her bed. He
soon passed out of the door, and as
soon as she could command her
thoughts she went to the room of her
son James and told him. An exami-
nation showed that while Mrs. Skill
man was asleep, the intruder had been
looking under the pillows of her bed
for plumber, and that he had gone
through the drawers of the bureau,
which stood near the bed, and also
that he had visited the lower rooms OF
the house Mrs. Skillman says the
man had white cloth tied over his
face, had on pair of light overals,
and wore no hat. He got into the
house by placing ladder against one
of the rear windows. No clue has
been obtained as to who the man was
so far as is known, he got nothing for

time, it is supposed that he was after
