In March, 1S4S, had to 60 over to
Paris to finish up some work there andt
lust came in for the revolution. From.
nv windows l had fine view of all
that was going on. well remember
the pandemonium in the streets, the
aspect of the savage mob, the wanton
firing OF shots at quiet spectators, tha
hosting Of Louis Philippe's nankeen,
trousers on the flagstaff Of the Tuile-
ries. When the bullets began to come
through my windows, thought 1t time
to be of while 1t was still possible.
Then came the question how to get my
box full of precious manuscripts, etc.,
belonging to the East India company.
to the train.
The only railroad open was the line
to Havre, which had been broken up
close to the station, but farther on was
intact. In order to get there we had
to climb three barbados. l offered
my concierge ) francs to carry my box,
but his wife would not hear of his
risking his life in the streets. Ten
francs; the same result. But at the
sight of louis dor she changed her
mind and, with an "Allez, mon ami;
allez, toujours," dispatched her hus-
band on his perilous expedition.
Arrived in London, went straight
to the Prussian legation and was the
first to give Bunsen the news Of Louis
Philippe's fight from Paris. So even
a poor scholar had to play his small
part in the events that go to make up
history.-Max Mullers Autobiography.

Abe Lincoln.

Lincoln is the one who has left upon
me the impression of sterling son of
God. straightforward, unfinching, not
loving the work he had to do, but fac.

whenever he had chance, stern as
iron when the public veal required it,
following bee line to the goal which
duty set before him. l can still feel

searching look of his kindly eye. l re-.

One of the most pleasing natural
curiosities in the territory Of Arizona
Is the pool of water known as Monte
zuma's well. 1t is situated Is miles
northeast of the old abandoned mill
tary post known as Camp Verde. 1t is
$50 feet in diameter, and the clear,
pure water is about 60 feet below the
surface Of the surrounding country.
Some years ago certain military off,
GERS sounded the pool and found that
1t had a uniform depth Of 80 feet of
water except in one place, apparently
about six feet square, where the sound
ing line went down about 800 feet
without touching bottom.
The well empties into Beaver creek
only about 100 yards distant, the wa
ter gushing forth from the rocks as
though it were under great pressure.
The we'll is undoubtedly supplied from
subterranean sources, possibly through
the hole sounded by the army officers
years ago. The sides of the well are
honeycombed with caves and tunnels,
permitting sightseers to descend to the
waters edge.
Montezuma's well contains no fish.
The flow of water from it is the same
throughout the season. Popular Opin-
ion has attributed the origin of the
we'll to volcanic action. but as the rock
surrounding it is limestone 1t is more
than probable that the action Of the
water is responsible for its CREATION

Millions Made by Planting Trees.

Millions Made by Planting Trees.
Any one who takes vital interest in
the welfare of his grandchildren can
insure their being rich by planting
trees on treeless land, which land he
can leave to them in his will Some
big British fortunes have been provid-
ed for in this manner. a predecessor
of the present Duke of Athole had lot
Of land, but it was not especially valu
able-in fact he was land poor"
He determined that his descendants
should fare better and so began plant
ing trees. In the course of his lifetime
he planted 14.O95,71 larch trees alone,
covering an area Of 1924 acres. His
last plantation covered $500 acres,
which in the ordinary way becomes a
forest of mature timber 20 years after
planting. Trimmed down to about $50
trees an acre, each tree will contain at
least 30 cubic feet of timber, which, at
% cents foot. gives a sum of $4,37j
an acre, a total for the value of the
timber on the last plantation alone of
$34 100000.
The whole initial outlay for this plan.
tatiOn, which has so increased the
wealth of the ancient house of Athole,
is said to have been only about $1,000

the labor of planting them. The main.
tenance of the wood was paid for out
of the profits arising from the sale OF
young wood when thinning the planta.

ONE CENT POSTAGE.

The tendency Of the present day is
to demand cheapness in nearly every
commodity for which we expend our
hard earned dollars. Among other
demands there has arisen now and
then one for one cent postage, about
which the Hartford Daily Courant has
the following ARTICLE
"There is a great deal Of talk In
Congress every year about 'one-cent
postage The notion seems to pre-
vail down there that the people Of the
United States are sitting up nights
counting the days until letter postage
is dropped to one cent
In our opinion there is no call for the
change and it's ultimate effect would
be far from commendable. When our
postal service begins to show any pro-
fit, there will be much better ways
for expanding the gain than by cut
ting the postal rate right in two and
starting the deficit off again with in
creased dimensions.
The fact is that the government is
shockingly parsimonious in its pay
ment for many parts OF the postal
work. 1t may give the railroads OF
the country very large compensation.
This is frequently alleged. But,
when it comes to dealing with the
unincorporated mail.carriers, there is
nothing in sight to he charged up to
One instance that re.
Gently came to light in this state is
an illustration in point.
A man who is married and has a
family to support out in Litchfeld
has the contract for carrying
the mails over a route that measures
about twenty.one miles. He supplies
the horse and wagon and for all this
he is paid sixty.two cents a day. A
while ago the wagon broke down and
the carrier had to take to bis horses
back, as bis suplus did not justify re.
pairs to the rolling stock.
No doubt, there are plenty Of other
similar cases, and, so long as there is,
talk af one.cent letter rates Oupht to
be suspended. Pay decent compensa.
tion before trying to lower postage,
which already is marvelously low,
though relatively not so low as the
pay for the work DONE"

We are told that when Solomon Of
old was given permission to ask Of
God the thing he most desired, his
request was for wis 1om and it was
granted him. Hence, we have been
taught that Of all men Solomon was
the wisest. During his reign this
wisest of men, gave his people instruc-
tion in reference to the training of
children which instructions having
grown obsolete it might seem well to
revive them for the benefit Of the rising
generation. 1t seems, to some Of US,
as though there must be some defect
in present home training, when our
young people, who would be offended
if not called ladies and gentlemen,
attend public gatherings not to listen
to the speaker, but apparently for a
little visit among themselves
which, If it did not disturb those about
them and spoil for others what might
otherwise be an hour of entertainment
and pleasure would still be showing
most marked disrespect for the speak.

pairing for the occasion that which he

our public school instructions but this
seems to be a matter to which every

personal attention and thereby lessen
If not wholly eradicate, what is at
best a growing, serious, annoyance.

In asking the natives for water in
the Philippines our soldiers learned
that in one province the word was
"aqua," in another "tubig," and in a
third "dunum." So "wate' or swat
ty" has been implanted in the Fill
Pine dialects. Is it to be wondered at
that when water is obtainable only
under such linguistic difficulties, that
the soldiers get discouraged and form
the habit Of pronouncing that simple
word "beer," so universally under
stood.
