Q TREE.

Il Arises from the Sea 3nd Adds to the
Surface of thu Earth.
Every one has read Of large islands
being produced by the mineral dapos-
its OF innumerable coral animals, but
few people know that there exists a
tree which, like the coral island, arises
from the sea and adds to the surface
OF the earth. Some twenty years ago
a schooner, while sailing along the
South american coast. was wrecked
on a sand bank. The captain of the
vessel CHANGED to have a number of
seeds, which we now know were given
him as a token of friendship Ly a
Mexican. In the confusion Of the
wreck these seeds were lost in the
sand, and, finding their way into the
soil, took root. The tree which arose
Is such as is found only in the tropi-
cal countries OF America. Like a mon
strous vine it crawls along the ground
and spreads with marvellous rapidity.
It's huge branches ~interlace and form
q surface as solid as earth. The i'm
mense vine first grows under water
along the sand, and then, like the coral
rising upon itself, at last comes above
the sea. The sand stretches for miles
and miles beneath the surface Of the
ocean, so that there seems no limit to
this monstrous tree.

Sleeps In q Paupsrs GFaves

Rev. Edward Dunbar, who wrote the
old religious song, There's q Light in
the Window for Thee, Brother" sleeps
In a p~auper's grave at CoReyEIlle, Kan,
where he died a tramp in the town
fail ten years ago. His name became
a byword In the places where hs was
known, and from q prison cell he went
forth q vagabond on the face Of the
earth. In 1857 he was arrested at
LeavsnWorth, while engaged in hold
ing a series of revival meetings, ana
taken to Minneapolis, where he was
tried for bigamy, convicted and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for TIRES
years and eight months. One night,
in the spring Of 1890, Dunbar applied
at the Cofeyville jail for lodging. He
was Ill, and the authorities took him
in. He died the next day. Papers In
his pocket revealed his identity. and
showed that he had tFampe0 ali over
the country. Some church people have
lately erected q marble slab over his
grave, on which these words are In
scr1bed: "Aere lies Edward Dunbar,

In the good old days when postage
was SO high people wrote small hands
aud crowded q great deal Of news and
gossip into a letter, seldom using more
than a single sheet, writing on both
sides and crossing the lines. The
habit Of crossing fingers yet with some
women. With the advent Of cheap
postage chirography changed its Style,
leaping at a bound from the inclined
in6nitesinal to the nearly vertical
vast and unrestricted. Note paper OF
the ordinary width sustains but q
single word to the line, whereas three
quarters Of a century ago twenty
words might have been written In the
same space. There can be no doubt
that cheap postags has destroyed the

the manner Of serving the meals of
the family. In the first place the very
dining table Of the ~colonists was not
like our present ones. 1t was a long
and narrow board, sometimes but
three feet wide, with no legs attached
to it. 1t was laid on supports or tres
ties. shaped something like a saw
horse. Thus it was literally a board,
and was called a tableboard, and the
linen cover used at meals was not
called a ~tablecloth, but a boardcloth
