Trees In Hawaiian Isles.

About fifteen years ago the Hawaiian
government undertook forest work,
and very soon the hills back Of Hon
olulu were clothed with a dense and
luxuriant growth of eucalyptus Of sew
eral varieties, the Australian waffle
and other trees of that character.
These trees have already exercised q
noticeable influence in conserving
rainfall and rendering the climate in
the vicinity more agreeable.

worlds Largest Grapevlne.

The largest grapevine in the world
is growing in secluded spot of the
Carpinteria valley, Santa Barbara
county, California. Its trunk measures
eight feet three inches in circumfer-
enee, and some of its branches three
feet i'll circumference. Its branches
cover nearly half acre and require a
frame having sixty stout posts to sup
port it. 1t is kept cut back every year
or ii would cover much larger area. !.

king George wa. W,se.

King George IL. once wished to add
the Green park in London to his pal
ace grounds whether the people liked

Little Countries In Danger.

They are already talking in Europe
of the possibility of Belgium being alb
sorbed by France as the outcome Of
the socialistic troubles in the former
country, and Of the temptation that
this would be to Germany to annex
the Netherlands. In this era of merg-
err it is just as difficult for the small
countries to maintain themselves as
1t is for the small business concerns.

Ping-Pong in Paris.

Ping-pong has arrived in Paris, ana
society men cannot go anywhere with
out being lassoed into a game OF ping

a distinctive button, so that the ladies
cannot feel offended when members
refuse to play, since they have sworn
never to participate in this foolish,
unmanly English pastime."

WORDS OF HAY
Thoughtful Discourse by the Secre-
tary OF State.

For the third time the congress of the
United States are embed to commemorate
the life and death Of a president slain by
the hand of an assassin. The attention Of the
future historian will be attracted to the fea-
lures which reappear with startling same
ness in all three Of these awful crimes: the
uselessness the utter lack of consequence of
the act; the obscurity, the insigniicance Of
the criminal; the blamelessness-So far as in
our sphere Of existence the best Of men may
be held blameless-Of the victim. Not one of
our murdered presidents had enemy in
the world; they were all of such pre-emi-
nent purity Of life that pretext could be
given for the attack of passional crime; they
were all men of democratic instincts, who
could never have offended the most jealous
advocates OF equality; they were of kindly
aud generous nature, to whom wrong in
justice was impossible; Of moderate fortune,
whose slender means nobody could envy. They
were men Of austere virtue. of tender heart
of eminent abilities, which they had devoted
with single minds to the good of the repub-
lie. If ever walked before God and man
without blame, it was these three rulers OF
our people. The only temptation to attack
their lives offered was their gentle radiance
to eyes hating the light that was offense
enough. ~ =.
The stupid uselessness of such an infamy
afrronts the common sense Of the world One
can conceive how the death Of dictator may
change the political conditions of empire
how the extinction of a narrowing line Of
kings may bring in alien dynasty. But in
a well-ordered republic like ours, the ruler
may fall, but the state feels no tremor. Oul
beloved and revered leader is gone-but the
natural process Of our laws provides us 6

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Gamble

counting so that congress may provide

Bravery without Glory

Fishing on the Grand Banks off the
coast OF Newfoundland is twice as deadly
as modern warfare. It calls for no
ordinary courage to face the dangers OF
the widest seas, with severe cold and
hours Of exposure, and the fishermen
realize that they take their lives in their
hands every day they go out. They often
work in their dories when the largest
ships fear to go out. Their bravery takes
steady nerves: there's nothing exciting
about it. Such nerves are as valuable In
business and ordinary life as on the
Grand Banks. They come with, drinking
Golden Grain Belt" beer, the purest and
most refreshing beverage ever produced.
Always keep case in your home and use
st regularly. II Will do you good.
