Monkey Puzzle Tree.

During the cruise of Vancouver's
expedition to the Pacific and north
west coast of America (179l-95) the
members were entertained at dinner
at Valparaiso by the yiceroy of Chile.
In the course Of the dessert some
"nuts" were served which, so the
host told Archibald Menzies, the
surgeon of the expedition, were the
seeds of the Chile pine.
The doctor, being wise man, put
few of these seeds in his pocket and
on his return to England had them
planted in the botanical gardens at
Kew. From them grew the first ar
aucaria ever seen in Europe. 1t be-
came the lion of the gardens and
was prime favorite with William
w., who never failed to point it out
to visitors when he happened to be
at Kew.
The kings interest in it first arose
perhaps from the fact that Menzies
had been a shipmate of his. This
historical tree died early in 1893,
and its kind, which stand the British
climate fairly well. are known by the
name of monkey puzzle.

The Victorious Flea.

One of the justices of the United
States supreme court dined with
Washington family who are ardent
advocates of vegetarian diet. In
the course of dinner, which consist
ed, says the New York Evening
Post, Of all the delieacies of edible
plant life in season, the hostess UNI
dertook the conversion Of her beef
reared guest.
But despite her arguments, which
were cleverly based on the chemical
constituents of various kinds of
food, the jurist was not convinced.
"But surely, Mr.. Justice" she
said finally, 'you must admit that
vegetarianism means strength and
ability when you remember that the
rabbit, which feeds wholly on vege-
tables, can make such great leaps
over the ground from hiding place
to hiding place"
"True, madam" answered the dis
tinguished man gravely, "but we
must also remember that the minute
creature for which naturalists claim
the ability to jump more times its
own length than any other belongs
in the class of pure carnivora."

MARCUS AURELIUS.
A Stoic Who Was Called the Most
Christian Of Pagans.

Marcus Aurelius, who has been
called the Glover of stoicism" and
the "most Christian of pagans," was
born in Rome early in the year 121
A. d. He was brought up by his
grandfather and in 1877, at the re-
quest Of the Emperor Hadrian, was
adopted by Marcus Titus Antoninus
Plus, who was heir to the throne.
He became Caesar in 139 a. ID.
About 146 he married Faustina, the
beautiful sister of Lucius Verus,
who was Caesar with him.
Marcus became emperor along
with Verus in 160 and sole emperor
on the latter's death in 1913. lie
died of illness brought on by ex-
posure in campaign on March II,
$50 A. D. AS he was the best man
of his time, she was the worst wo-
man. Her son, Commodus, followed
in her ste~s, not in his fathers.
This emperor-philoso regard
ed himself as being, in fact, the sery-
ant of all. 1t was his duty, he be-
lieved, to confront every peril in his
own person, to be foremost in the
hardships of war, most deeply i'm
mersed in the arts of peace.
He practiced what he preached.
He was one Of those who held that
nothing should be done hastily and
that few crimes were worse than the
waste of time.
His "meditations" were composed
only for his own eye and were jot-
ted down as he found time. The first
book was written while he was actu-
ally in the field fighting the QUAD,
q German tribe.
From an early age he had been a
stole, but instead of becoming cynic-
al and careless he softened stoicism
toward others, though not toward
himself. He learned to work hard,
to deny himself, never to listen to

The Two Crops.

a popular Chinese story runs as
follows:
"0nce upon time there were two
brothers who cultivated their farm
in partnership When the season
had come to harvest their rice
crops the younger asked, How shall
we divide the crop between u.s. Sac
Da, the elder, answered, Il will take
the upper half, and you shall have
the lower That wouldn't be fair,
said the younger man. If take
the top half this time, and You take
it next time, will that do% the elder
asked. His brother thought there
could be no objection to this plan
and contented himself with the
roots and stalks, looking forward
meanwhile to next years harvest,
when all the grain should be his, as
it was Sac Da's this year. When
seed time came round again the
younger asked, Shall we SOW the
flee now?' Oh said his brother,
my idea is that We should plant po-
tatoes this year.

MODS AND CROWDS.
Effect of Force of Numbers and Senss
Of responsibility.

Regarding the actions of mobs
and crowds writer on psychology
says: "a crowd is not an aggrega-
ton. 1t is an individual mind, i'm
pulsive and erratic, with its normal
or ethical level generally much be-
low that of minds that have lost
their individuality in it. The per-
sonality of the men in a mob is lost,
for it is recognized that back of the
avowed causes of human actions are
unconscious motives or forces that
defy Investigations and that these
are the handspring of crowd activ-
ity. These motives or forces are the
common characteristics of the race,
and in these points people are more
alike than in the acquired charac-
teristics that come with education.
"These forces are primitive, SO
that crowds are generally incapable
oforising above primitive actions.
And it is this that explains in part
how otherwise respectable people will
assist at lynchings and even at tor
ture. Some of the characteristics
Of the mob are a sentiment of in
vincible power, the force of sugges-
ton and contagion. The force Of
numbers and sense of Irresponsible
ity add to this sense of power. The
soldier in battle is Drawer and stron-
ger-or more cowardly and panic
sticken-than when thinking indie
pendently.
"By means of suggestion and con-
tagion the individuals in the crowd
are put into a sort of hypnotic state.
The power of the subjective mind is
seen and the personal will and OBJ
jective mind disappear for the time
being; hence mobs are impulsiye
and mobile. They are aroused one
minute to acts of generosity and
heroism and descend the next to
extreme violence and torture. They
are credulous, believing things that
would be absurd to one outside the
sphere of crowd influence"

The following telephone CONVEX

a woman whose home is in the sub

the curiosities of our language:

JAPANESE COMMANDMENTS.
The Law of the Land as Laid Down by
Prince Shotoku.

1t was Prince Shotoku who in the
eighth century organized the admin
istrative system of Japan and laid
down those rules which are still call
ed "the constitution" From their
nature the word commandments
would be to western ears more APP
propriate. In part the ancient writ
ing runs:
Concord and harmony are price
less; obedience to established prin-
yiples is the first duty of man. That
the upper classes should be in unity
among themselves and intimate
with the lower, and that all matters
in dispute should be submitted to
arbitration-that is the way to
place society on basis of strict
justice.
Imperial edicts must be respect
ed. The sovereign is to be regarded
as the heaven, his subjects as the
earth; so the sovereign shows the
way, the subject follows it.
"Courtesy must be the rule. of
conduct for all ministers and Of
ficials of the government. Social or
der and due distinctions between
the classes can only be preserved by
strict conformity with etiquette.
"To punish the evil and reward
the good is humanity's best law. a
good deed should never be left un-
rewarded or an evil unrebuked.
"To be just one must have faith.
Every affair demands a certain
measure of faith on the part OF
those who deal with it. Every ques-
ton, whatever its nature or tend
ency, requires for its settlement an
exercise of faith and authority.
"Anger should be curbed and
wrath cast away. The faults Of an
other should not cause our resent
ment.
"To chide a fault does not pre-
vent its repetition, nor can the CEN
sor himself be secure from error.
The sure road to success is that
trodden by the people in unison.
"Those in authority should never
harbor hatred or jealousy of one
another. Hate begets hate, and jeal-
ousy is blind.
"The imperative duty of man in
his capacity of a subject is to sacri-
fee his private interest to the pub
lie good. Egoism forbids co-opera-
ton, and without cooperation there
cannot be any great achievement"

MINE SUPPLY HOUSE SOLD.
Big Fl Paso Machinery House Is Sold
 for Half a Million.

The Mine and Shelter Supply com pany has been sold. the sale was made to Joseph Seep and his two sons, J. H. and William J. Seep, for con- alteration of s500,O00.
 The principal stockholders in the company were Robert J. and John s. Cary. and their headquarters are at Denver, where the principal business is transacted. These two men built up one of the greatest establishments in the west for the manufacture and sale of mining machinery. The sue cess of the company was largely due to their efforts, and their successors will take hold of a business which is solidly established.
 Josph Seep was formerly interested in the company, and his son, J. H. Seep. has been connected with it for some time. Mr. Seep IS a Cleveland capitalist, but has been interested in various enterprises in the west for a number of years. J. H. Fennessy is also interested.

Tried to Steal
 Washington's Will
Burglars Blew the Lock Of the Vault
 in Which the Relic Is Kept.

Burglars Blew the Lock off tse Vault
 in Which the Relic Is Kept.
 Fairfax Courthouse, Va, March 5.-' Bnltaars made an unsuccessful at- tempt last night to steal the will of George Washington from the vault in the county court house.
 The thieves were unable to force open the doors of the vault in which the will has been kept in a glass case for many years. The combination lock of the vault was blown of and some of the glass in the windows of the court house shattered The large steel door remained firm. The police believe the burglars were frightened on by the explosion, which was heard by many residents of the town.
 George Washington's will is dated July g, 179s, and on his death was filed with the clerk of Fairfax county, in which county Mount Vernon is situ- ated. It remained in the clerks of fee until the beginning of the civil war, when 1t was taken to Richmond, for safe keeping, and placed in a vault in the capital of the Confederacy, for the state capitol.
 When the Confederate troops evac- uated Richmond, the will was found lying on the floor of the office of the commonwealth's secretary by sol dier Later a resident of Fairfax county obtained it, and by him it was returned to the county clerk of Fair fax county.
 The county authorities then had a vault built and the twenty-nine writ ten pages placed in a glass case, Sc curely locked and put in the steel vault
 About ten years ago safe-blowers forced open the vault, but did not take the will, which was found on the floor beneath a mass of other papers.
 General Washington prepared his '. will himself, and signed each of the twenty nine closely written pages. There were no witnesses.
 General Washington made another will, which has been lost. It was pre- pared in great haste when he left Mount Vernon to assume command of the revolutionary forces, and was sent back to Mount Vernon to Mrs. Wash ington-"Dear Patsy"-with a letter This will was probably destroyed, as ne trace of it has ever been found.
