The Third HnndIA.

The best account Of the origin Of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry w of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and. feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for cup Of wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the han
ole. Some wine was spilled. and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethOught him
that a two handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this, so his majesty
had a two handled cup made at the
royal pOtteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine. when, to his astOnishment the
maid. having received Instructions
from her mistress to be very careful of
the kings cup. presented it to him by
holding it herself by each of it's han
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king of a cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said. Surely, out of
three handles l shall be able to get
one" Hence the loving cup.

The English Are UnmiIitary.

Partly from historical and partly per.
haps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that Of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. It's unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions. For many years il made
it impossible to have a standing army
Even when the course of events made
it necessary to cOncede that much to
the military necessities Of the time it
still remained maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
diers; that their business was to fight
our wars. and. this being done, that
there was little or no place for them in
the body polite.
We do not think it necessary to de-
fend this attitude of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it IS largely unjust,
but also. like many popular feelings, it
is based to some extent on a true con-
ceptiOn. Politically, using the word in
its largest sense. the domination of the
military idea in state is calamitous
1t tends, We believe, to destroy individ-
uality and is a serious menace to indi-
vidual liberty. = English Monthly Re

Spirit. Above and ReIou

"Many years ago." writes a New
Hampshire clergyman in the Boston
Journal, 'it was the custom to store
liquors in church cellars in Boston;
not all of them. but many of them.
As late as 1850. and probably later, the
cellar Of the stone church on BOwdoin
square was used by the Trull diStillery
near by pitts street. if | am right for
the ripening in hogsheads of New Eng
land rum. Some one found a hymn
book in pew and copied in there the
following verse:
''There are spirits above and spirits below,
The spirits of love and the spirits of woe.
The spirits above ere the spirits of love; =
The spirits below The spirits of woe.
The spirit above is the spirit divine;
The spirits below the spirits of wine.
81 have myself frequently watched
the men putting hOgSheads Of rum into
the cellars or taking them out"

PINE NEEDLE TRUST.
A New Oregon Industry Which
Promises to Pay Well.
Originated by a German from the
Forests of Tburingin-Lcnves Fur
nisb Medicinal OIL and
Fiber for pillows.

The utilization of the pine needles
of the yellow Oregon pine, botanical
ly Pinus Ponderosa, is becoming an
industry of considerable Importance
on the Pacific coast. Fifty years ago
it was discovered that the extracts
and products of the long, slender
leaves of the pine possessed real eff
cacy in complaints of a pulmonary
character. 1t is claimed that insom-
MIA yields to the influence of the pun
gent odor, and asthmatics have found
real relief in partalling of the oil
and in sleeping upon pillows stuffed
with the elastic and fragrant fiber
manufactured from the interior sub
stance of the pine leaves. The il
limitable forests of yellow pine
abounding in the state of Oregon,
with their accessibility to through
lines of transportation, suggested to
German from the forests of Thurin-
gia the transfer of lucrative busi-
ness to the Pacific coast. In Ger
many the leaves never exceed two
inches in length. while in Oregon
they often exceed 30 inches, and av-
erage 20. In the former country the
forest laws are extremely strict and
often prohibitive, obliging the maker
of the product to use the dried leaves
that have fallen to the ground and
thus insuring an inferior and less eff
fective quality of goods. In the west
ern state denuding the yellow pine
of its leaves has been encouraged,
the expert of the forestry commits
sion having pronounced the process
as beneficial A tally kept of the
weight gathered from certain num-
Der of trees indicated, according to
the Scientific American, that the crop
taken in April weighed $50 pounds,
while that of the same trees in Oc-
tober yielded 775 pounds. Two crops
are gathered yearly, the later one

than that which was erected at the
Hotel de Vile by the inhabitants Of
Luneberg, in Hanover, in honor of a
pig. This, which took the form of a
kind of mausoleum, contained large
glass case in which was hermetically
inclosed fine ham cut from the ami

handsome slab of black marble, on
which, engraved in letters of gold,
was the following inscription in Lat

addition to the native population there
are on the islands approximately 100
whites.
Since his last report to the depart
ment Commander Tilley has visited the
islands of the Nanua group aboard his
station ship, the Abarenda, and has
found everything in a most satisfac-
tory condition. The natives of these
islands, he says, exhibit much more
kindly feeling than ever before. They

their officials and for other expenses of
the government.

being always the largest. The leaves
of the young trees are preferred,
yielding better quality of oil, it is
said, though this fact is doubted.
The leaves are stripped from the
trees by women and men who are
hired for the purpose, and who are
paid 25 cents a hundred pounds for
the needles. Five hundred pounds is
regarded as an average days work.
The. leaves are picked into sacks and
hurriedly sent to the factory. Ex-
posure to the sun causes the leaves
to wilt and impairs the quality of
the product. In picking, the thickest
punches of leaves are selected, and
the scanty ones neglected. The vast
quantity available, so far beyond any
present demand, permits the picker
to thus discriminate. The factory at
which the essences and extracts of
the needles are manufactured has
capacity for handling 1000 pounds of
leaves per day; but it is soon to be
enlarged to about four times its pres
ent size.
In the extraction Of pine oil 1000
pounds of green leaves are required
to produce ten pounds of oil. The
process is the ordinary one of dis
tillation. In the manufacture of fiber
the leaves pass through a process of
steaming washing, drying, etc, 10 in
all, occupying four days. Two quail
ties are produced, first and second.
The first, from which no oil has been
distilled, is worth upon the market
about ten cents per pound. The fiber
is elastic and the staple only little
shorter than the green leaf from
which it was made, and with strength
sufficient to enable it to be spun and
woven into fabrics. Mixed with hair.
the fiber makes an excellent mate
rial Tor mattresses or pillows, and
repose comes quickly when resting
upon them. 1t is also used as n par
tial filling for cigars, imparting
flavor not the least disagreeable, and
calming to the nerves. The oil eX-
/ tracted gives an agreeable flavor to
candies. Toilet soaps are made,
strongly impregnated with essential
oil of pine needless
The fiber itself, after curing, looks
like slender shaving of some dark
wood, retaining its odor indefinitely.
Insects abhor it on that account. II
is said that the Oregon factory is
the only one in the world outside of
Germany.
