FossILIzED FORREST FOUND.
Another Big One Discovered in South
Africa.

The remains of what must have been
a large forest fgigantie trees in a fos-
SLICED state, have been discovered
about one mile from Dordrecht in Cape
Colony. What remains there show
them to have been huge monarchs of
the forest, and the distinct rings in the
many of the stone blocks prove them
to have been centuries old. Many of
the stumps projected out of the ground
II or ii inches, and measured over
three feet across.
The markings Of the bark and the
grain are still quite distinct, even after
the lapse of untold ages, the most deli
cate peculiarities Of the pattern being
fully preserved.
The trees are supposed to belong to
the lepidodendron and sigillarla
species. Similar specimens of this
species have been found in nearly
every coal field of the carboniferous age
throughout the globe.

all of her simple needs, and she would
not have exchanged her position for
that of any multi-millionaire.
1t was about o'clock when she
awakened suddenly, conscious of a
sound that did not belong to her house

CURE FOR KICKING HORSES.
Very Simple Remedy Will Eradicate
Dangerous Habit.

Many horses have an ugly habit of
kicking when in their stalls, and ap-
parently no method has yet been found
by which they can be effectually cured
OF this habit. Here, however, is a
plan which was recently tested in Ger
many and which is said to have proven
effective in every case:
All that is necessary is to hang bag
OF sand or gravel from the ceiling OF
the stable in such manner that the
bag will be q little distance behind
where the refractory horse is standing.
Whenever he kicks he will strike the
bag, and in return will receive smart
blow from it, which he will remember.
1t may take a few days to impress
upon his mind that he will always be
rewarded for this unmannerly conduct
in this manner, but unless he is ex-
ceedingly stupid he will quickly learn
the lesson, and the bag may be remoV-
ed. 1t is asserted thathorses once
cured in this manner will never think
of kicking again, but whether this is
true or not, time alone can tell.-St.
Louis Star.

she slipped the cold fingers underneath
the heavy wool folds that covered her.

MISS SUSAN'S BURGLAR.

thankfuIness and of gratitude to the
dead parents that she entered it's
after a brief absence around
the neighborhood.
For the Whitehouse homestead had
been at once the talk, the envy and the
pride of Centerport. 1t was not enough
that Emanuel Whitehouse had always
kept it clear and free from encum-
brance in the most troublous times, but
it was always in first class repair,
clean and glittering in its yearly dress
of white paint with green trimmings.
1t was not enough for Elizabeth White
house, widow, to have added the COM
modious red barn, with its fanciful
modern mechanisms, and to have kept
up garden and orchard after most ap-
proved methods, so that returns were
always more than any one else's, but it
remained for Susan WhitehOuSe, sole
heir and legatee to branch out into I'M
wonted extravagances, spring bed and
hair mattress, new parlOr carpet and
plush suit, new kitchen range and or
namental wood stove, to say nothing
of at least two best dresses and city
bonnet.
People shook their heads at first, but
the old lawyer whose counsel Emanuel
had always suoght, looked wise and
said Emanuel, in spite of his up-to-date
methods, had been rather near" and
he guessed the money would hold out
for Miss Susan.
So from criticism, the little Michi-
gan village passed on to the next step,
acceptance and tacit approval, till the
admonition, Don't take me for Susan
Whitehousei" grew to be a check for
all prospective spendthrifts.
Susan went in at the kitchen door,
hung her wool shawl upon it's accus-
toned hook, pulled up curtain to let
in the last rays of the afternoon light
and opened the oven door, whence a
most savory smell arose, with which
the tabled odors Of the spice islands
compared feebly.
A black cat, sleek and fat, jumped
from the cushioned rocking-chair with
the slow movements that age gives to
man and all animals, and with tail
erect, rubbed vigorously against SUI
san as she turned one chicken pie
around and, rising with another, de-
posted it upon the buttery shelf
Near by, a huge turkey lay ready
trussed for the morrow's sacrifice Pies

from the cellar to be in readiness, and
a great pitcher of fresh cider, made
from yellow spice apples, stood in one
corner in solitary glory.
Susan opened the pantry window a
bit, for the kitchen fire was hot, and
contemplated the good things before
her cOntentedly. To her they marked
the day and she had all her life been
accustomed to their abundance at this
season. She knew she should take as
much comfort in meeting tomorrow in
the thought Of her goodly store of pro-
visions for the day, as in the satisfac-
ton that her new black dress, soft and
fine and becomingly made, would give
her.
Closing the pantry door she return
ed to the warm kitchen with a yellow
bowl of butternuts and hickory nuts
which she began to crack for the
Thanksgiving pudding, till the cats
persistent mewing reminded her that
she had forgotten it's supper, and she
poured out a saucer full of cream and
set it upon the floor near the stove.
Somehow, the attitude of Lord-I-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. men
was particularly accented tonight by
the memory of the Jim Hutton of years
and years ago, when she was a girl at
the Academy and he had several times
accompanied her home and dallied with
her books at the gate.
Poor JIM Poorer than the proven
bal church mouse, also, said the good
village councillors rather addicted to
some wild ways.
All Of which, in connection with his
very black eyes, made him an inter
esting character to Miss Susan White
house, over those delicately cut feat
ureE lay the glamour and glow of
youth. Papa Emanuel did not approve.
A ne'er-do-well should never Squan-
der his substance in riotous living, and
so before it fairly began, the affair was
ended. The next thing that happened
was Jim's sudden marriage with Let
ty Bridgeman. People said they didn't
know as they could blame him, he
might as well take care Of his own
children as to have taken care Of so
many brothers and sisters, and one day
Susan, looking down the road from the
garden gate where she and Jim had
often fingered, saw that the young cou-
pie had taken a tiny cottage a piece
farther on and there begun their nest
ing.
Years passed. One after another five
little Huttons tumbled in and out OF
the cottage, and no other lover came
to Susan.-Pique glided into indiffer-
ence and Indifference into apathy, as

an integral part of the college. Indeed
so indissolubly are the two together
that it is impossible to conceive the
one without the other.
Books are perhaps indispensable in
the work of mind-training and charac-
ter-building, both of which are includ-
ed in what we term education. they
should be regarded more in the light
of means to an end, tools with which
the builder works; and so they are
viewed by every true teacher. The
college curriculum provides both work
textbooks and living teachers, factors
in the plan of education: but the
judgment OF all thinkers upon edUca-
tional problems, and of the founders
of all systems Of collegiate education
is that these are not sufficient. Some
thing more is needed to equip the col
lege graduate for his life work. Some
thing to place him upon the palestrae
of life prepared for its demands. This
is to be found only in the society
hall, and may properly be termed ex-
ira college curriculum. And instances
are not wanting in which the training
acquired there has been acknowledged
to transcend in usefulness and inn
portancesthat furnished by the regular
college exercises.
The necessity for the college society
needs no argument. If any were need
ed, human experience has abundantly
supplied it. The premises have been
acknowledged by the world to be sound
and the conclusions drawn from them
have been universally accepted.

its name implies. The societies meet
every Saturday night and the sessions
are two and one half hours long.

subjects of current interest, declama-

order of exercises. In addition to
this the public lyceum course con
Quoted by the societies is both inter,

few years after this institution was
founded, the members of the corps,
recognized that a college with no Liter
airy society is an anomaly in the educa-
tioal world. The Literary Society is
