If you take an acorn and pass
through it a thread by which 1t can
be balanced in water, the acorn will
shoot in time. and little oak tree
will grow out of the acorn-in more

the widow of a clergyman, recently
set on foot a movement to supply med
icine bottles and acorns to dwelers
in the slums of London, that they
might have in their abodes the refresh
ing and elevating influence of oak
trees growing out of the necks of bot
ties
There were many favorable points
about the scheme. The members of
the society would be interesting in col
Letting acorns and suitable bottles:
the poor receivers of these miniature
forests would be edited by the pro-
gress of their acorns, and, until the
acorns began to shoot, they would
have a long and excellent lesson in
patience.
A hundred bottled acorns We're dis
tributed in the East End by the So
ciety's workers, but for lack on rea-
sonable support and cooperation the
scheme died down when, like one Of
it's own acorns, it was just beginning

FAMOUS cow THAT
CHARGED GLADSTONE
Lively Scramble to Procure Portions
of the Beast, After 1t Was Slain,
to Keep as Mementoes of the His
toric Event

In August, 1892, Paul Jones, of PEN
trobin farm, bought a COW at Chester
fair, England. She was a hrindled COW
with crumpled horns. ana had a fancy
for wandering, and a slneularly evil
temper. She soon escaped from Pentro-
bin and strayed into Hawarden park:
and of the historic adventure which she
had there, and her subsequent fate. a
recent article in the Strand Magazine
gives an interesting account
1t was in an unfrequented glade Of
the park that they encountered each
other--the owner of the estate and the

and showed it,lowerlngh her head threat
eningly as Mr.. Gladstone advanced.
In return, ne shook his stick at her.
Instantly. the enraged creature charged
him, threw him, and stood snOrting
above him as he lay prostrate; no
doubt, had her horns been sharper and
straight instead of crumpled, he would
have been gored. As it was, he escaped
behind a tree when she Withdrew a
few PAGES for a second charge, and
word was promptly sent out to one
Tom Bailey, of Hawarden village, to
come and shoot her.
MOI uHlll dllti SHE nau Deen dis
patched, and the body sent up to Ches-
ter to a butcher, however, did Tom
learn that his domestic game had ac-
tually tossed Mr.. Gladstone. 1t inn
mediately struck him that he would
like TO secure the horns as trophies;
and away he hurried to Chester to get
them
He was so lucky as TO get the hide
and hoofs as well, and with his booty
in a bag, he dropped into an inn for re-
freshments. Two cattle dealers hap
pened to be in the parlor at the time.
When he told them what he had one Of
them asked him what he would take
for the hide and hoofs. AS he had only
just given two guineas for ii he said
he would take five-pound note.
This offer was no sooner accepted
than 1t occurred to him for the first
time that the animal was worth much
more as a speculation. While he was
turning over the matter in his mind a
third person who had heard the con-
versation slipped out, and running to

very short time every pound Of meat

buy up the hide and hoofs from the
other two who had purchased them
from Tom Bailey, intending to stuff the
beast and send it to the Worlds Fair
in London,
Unfortunately for him, Tom refused
to part with the head and horns, and
the scheme fell through; as a headless
COW, even with Gladstonian associa-
tions, would scarcely attract the pub
lie. The head itself, however, was
stuffed and mounted, and still belongs
to Tom Bailey, who keeps it inclosed
in a handsome frame of llawarden oak,
and displays it proudly to all who care
TO see 1t.

QUEER NEW SOCIETIES.
Institutions of Recent Formation
Have Extraordinary Objects.

From the London MaH
Many societies with the most out
landish objects have from time to time
been founded Here are a few cases of
recent growth in London and else
where:
A lady of means living in a large
provincial town recently founded

ture." That the specimens of work
turned out by this society are moral
there can be no question; that they
are cheap must be conceded, for they
are given away; but that they are
literature may be open to grave doubt.
The really extraordinary feature Of
this society appears in the fact that
not only is the literature given away,
but the articles of the society provide
that all profits accruing from the sale
Of the society pamphlets are To be
devoted to the founding and mainten-
ance of a society for the protection Of
domestic servants"
Thus one thing leads To another, or
would lead if the moral literature"
sold. AS it is, it is merely distributed
to small tradesmen, who wrap
"ha'pOrths of tea and sugar in the
pages for the moral elevation of their
customers. Every week fresh bud
get of the literature" from the pen
of the socletys founder is distributed
free among the trades-pcople round
about
Another society has been formed by
three or four ladies for the purpose
OF providing boys over the age of thir-
teen with boxing gloves. The OBJ
ject sounds bellicose, hut really it was
most pacific, the society being i'm
pressed with the belief that IL street
boys were given more facilities for
fighting with their fists, the use of
knives and granite stones would event
uahy be numbered among the dead
arts.
Therefore, to encourage lighting
with fists and at the same time TO
minimize the facial damage which re-
suits from bare fstcuffs the society
suggested the distribution of the soft
est and most innocent of boxing
gloves. Numerous meetings of the
society were held, but it never got be-
yond suggestions, and so grand boxing
contests at street corners are still
things of the untamed future.
The courage of some people is real
ly stupendous, Fancy a sweet little
society of eight mortal beings having
for it's object compulsory arbitration
in international disputes" Yet, such
a society was actually founded and
with no intention of being funny, eth
en-. The society had fund, too,
amounting TO something like e150.
What this fund was for cannot be
decided, but it was probably intended
for buying off claims made by one ma
tion against another
1t was unfortunate that the society
became extinct before the outbreak
of the war between America and
Spain. 1t would have been interesting
to watch whether the society would
have bought Cuba from Spain and
have presented II to America, thus pre-
venting the war.

character and reputation. He stood the

Landing at Melbourne, l at once
made arrangements for going up coun-
try, to present certain letters to a
cattle owner, Mr.. Grant, among whose
acres and quadrupeds l was supposed
to have the best possible chance of re-
gaining health.
And here / settled down.
1t was less than eighteen months
afterward that 1 received an awful
note from Professor Whitcombe in
forming me that his daughter was mar
ried to a distinguished colleague, in
every way able to insure her happi-
ness" That was how he put it. / was
further requested to see both the alb
surdity and improperly of continuing
to address letters to Bella at her
fathers house.
My own people confirmed the miser-
able news. They didn't know the par
ticulars, but they had seen Bella's name
in the Times.
Once more had a fit of raving, but
It passed, and then / set to work to
make money, the only aim that seemed
left to me.
Under advice from Mr.. Grant I had
already bought a good block Of land.
I now prepared to stock it.
In three years 1 was worth 10000.
and scant joy the knowledge afforded
me.
This, however, was nothing to what
happened in the fourth year. Gold was
discovered all along our line Of coun-
try, and an expert had told me l was
a millionaire. So it proved. After q
vast deal OF excitement with flnanciers
and company promoters, / cleared out
of the country fabulously rich, consid-
ering my antecedents.
But though rich, 7 wasn't happy, be-
ing one Of those fellows sometimes en-
viable and sometimes to be pitied
who, having once desired a thing, are
never happy until they have got it.
Moreover, my heart had gone wrong,
what with the excitement and my rath-
