big Trees Are Natures Reserxoir.

why" it will be asked, ARE the
big free groves always found on well
watefed spots?' Simply because big
trees give rise to streams, says John
Muir in The Atlantic. 1t is mistake
to suppose that the water is the cause
Of the groves being there. On the con
trary, the groves are the cause of the
water being there. The roots of this I'M
mense tree fill the ground. forming
sponge which hoards the bounty of the
clouds and sends it forth in clear percn-
NAL streams instead Of allowing it to
rush headlong in short lived, destructive
floods. Evaporation is also checked and
the air kept still in the shady sequoia
depths, while thirsty robber winds are
shut out. The value of these forests in
storing and dispensing the bounty Of the
mountain clouds is infinitely greater than
lumber or sheep. To the dwellers OF the
plain dependent on irrigation the big
tree is tree of life, a never failing
spring. sending living water to the low
lands all through the hot rainless sum-
mer. For every grove cut down a stream
is dried up.

King of ItaIy'a Governess.

The king of Italy's great regard for
England and English customs is due, no
doubt to the fact that he was brought
up by an English governess, Mrs. Lee,
who had almost entire charge of his edu-
cation during his early boyhood Mrs.
Lee was always extremely well received
at the Quirinal, the late King Humbert
and Queen Margherita having the great
est regard for her. What was still more
wonderful, she managed to secure the
good will of the Italians about the court
without in any way mourning their jeal-
ousy.
When Mrs. Lee died. the Italian royal
family took her death quite as per-
sonal loss and showed every possible
mark of affection and esteem for her
memory

A Good Dishcloth.

An exchange says that an old half
worn paintbrush is the best "dishrag"
ever used. 1t is as much superior to
the nasty little mops as anything can
be- need never be dry, does not get
foul and will last for years. 1t should
be a brush the butt of which is full Of
old dry paint. After using rinse and
throw the water out, and don't stand it
up. 1t is the finest thing imaginable
for washing milk pans.

THE PATH.


There is path that l would lead you by,
II you will trust yourself TO me for guide
path that bends along the woodland side
Beyond the churchyard where the dreamers lie
Dreaming their last long dream. quiet sky
Leans over it, and grdinfolds poppy pied
Stretch hillowy to eastward, amber wide,
From Where the forest brethren sway and sigh.
Below the wood stile stands; then a brook
losses its unsoiled silver down in glee;
Next is thymy slope which we must breast
Climbing the gradual pathway TO its crest,
And now that we have won the summit, look!
Mysterious as our human life-the sea!

Care of silver Made Easy.

Much trouble might be saved by
Keeping always chamois or one Of
the silver cloths" sold by most good
firms, at hand in the dining room and
giving slight rub over to each piece
as 1t is put on to the table, especially
avoiding any touching with the hands
after it has been thus rubbed up. A
little care of this kind adds enormously
to the appearance of the plate and
lessons the actual labor Of Keeping 1t

DISASTER In GERMANY
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN CHEMICAL
WORKS AT GRIESHEIM.
Nearly Two Hundred Persons he
Injured-Big Fire Afterwards.

FRANKFORT, April 25.-One Of the most
disastrous explosions on record occurred
this afternoon at the electro-chemical
works, near Griesheim. where smokeless
powder is manufactured. Most of the
boilers exploded The noise was so
tremendous that 1t was heard at
great distances, including Frankfort
and Mayence The factory immedi-
ately became mass of flames and a north
east wind carried the sparks TO neighbor-
ing villages. wnere several houses were
also set on fire Eighteen cylinders, each
containing about one hundred weight of
smokeless powder. were in the room where
the explosion occurred.
Troops were Immediately ordered to
Greisheim TO prevent the fire spreading TO
the large benzine reservoirs near by. Fire
brigades from every place in the neigh
borhood hurried to the scene. but owing 10
the dangerous nature of the disaster and
the fear OF a renewal of the explosions the
greatest difficulty was experienced in stop
ping the progress of the flames. Only after
five hours of strenuous effort was the con-
migration to some extent controlled and
the danger passed, so as to make it possi-
bic to begin the work of extricatng the
bodies. 1t is feared that nearly two hun
dred persons have been killed or injured.
The last explosion occurred at 7:30 n.
m, and when IL was ascertained that no
further danger was anticipated the in
habitants were allowed TO return to their
homes. At $50 the fire was still burning In
the center and the work of extricatng the
bodies from the debris was being carried
on bv torchlisht gaslight not being OBJ
tainable. All railway traffic with Frank
fort was stopped during the fire. except fer
trains carrying the injured, but II has since
been resumed Four sheds for dressing the
wounds of the injured have been erected.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Agents for the

lows alleged gambling club at No 50 Broad
street to-day, with warrants for the arrest

Roe, Dark Roe, Cuban Roe and Barlow
Roe Only four of these warrants were
served. When the raiders got into the
room more than thirty men. almost all of
whom were playing roulette, faro anu

the prisoners. gambling paraphernalia
worth upward of $1,000 and about $50 in
small change were taken away by the raid
ers, as we'll as the account books of the
establishment. In the latter an unexplained
item of expense in the sum of $500 led Mr..

item might prove an important link in the

LAYMAN CHOSEN EDITOR
NEW DEPARTURE BY THE METHO-
DIST BOOK COMPANY.
Preachers Ignored and ID. II. Thomp-
tian Advocate Editorial Chair.

CINCINNATI. April 25.-David D. Thomp-
son was to-day elected editor of the North
western Christian Advocate. of Chicago. by
the book committee of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, to succeed the Rev. DR.. Ar
thur Edwards deceased The action is de-
cidedly progressive. and was not accom-
plished without a struggle. Precedent was
entirely against the successful candidate.
for he is a layman. and hitherto only rever-
erds and doctors of divinity have been Sc
lected to sit i'm the editorial chairs of the
Methodist papers. as well as to fill almost
all the other places OF trust and honor. He
had against him as rival candidates such
distinguished men as Rev. Or. Jesse Bow
man Young. of Cincinnati. an editor of
many years experience; Rev. S. ]. Herten,
assistant editor of the New York Chris
tian Advocate; Rev. DR.. r. ]. Coke, of the
Methodist Advocate-Journal; Rev. p. III.
Swift, of Chicago; Rev. ID. w. Clark, Gin
cinnati Rev. Stephen III. Whitlock. Mat
toon, H.; Rev. William n. McElroy
Springfield, H.; Rev. Camden NJ. Coberr
Denver; Prof. c. NJ. Stuart. Northwestern
University and G. III. Potts, editor OF the
Michigan Christian Advocate Some Of
these were possibly receptive" candidates,
but all had their friends and promoters for
the position.
The contest was spirited, and the result
was not reached without a considerable
amount of debate and balloting. IL was
urged that Thompson had fairly earned the
place; that ne was an acknowledged power
as an editor of many years experience and
that, having been the assistant editor of
the Northwestern Christian Advocate, Il
would be simply following civil-service re-
fern methods 10 advance him. On the sixth
ballot the layman received a majority of
the votes and was declared elected.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago Mr.
Thompson began his connection with Meth
odist journalism by becoming proofreader
in the office of the Western Christian Ad-
vocate I'm this city. Subsequently he was
made news editor and finally assistant ed
itor and after a brief season of editorial
work OF a secular paper at Springfield. o.,
he became connected with the Northwest
ern Christian Advocate in Chicago. 1t is
something of a coincidence that I'm this new
departure in the elevation Of laymen two of
the chosen ones were coaborers years ago
i'm the Methodist Book Concern OF Cincin-
natl, DIR. ID. ID. Thompson and Mr.. S. II.
Pye, now one of the agents of this same
hook concern.
