Oldest Living Tree.

The baobab trees Of Senegambia are
believed 70 be the oldest living trees
on earth. Some scientists have put
the age of one Of these trees at 5000
years; and the conscientious and con.
servative Livingstone was positi,e
that one he examined was not less
than 1,4O0 years old. This is the tree
that sends out the immense branches
that bend to the ground for support,
although they grow sometimes to a
length of seventyfive feet before they
bend downward. There is one Of these
trees with ground-resting branches,
covering such an area that the UNI
brageous spaces are used for the pur
pose of a public hall, its portals be-
ing ornamented by quaint, rude sculp
lures cut out Of the living wood.

GRIM JEST OF KITCHENER,
lrders Issued Placing Regimentai
Schoolma aster at Officers Disposal.

SchooImaster at Officers Disposal.
Lord Kitchener of the British army
recently made an army order placing
the regimental schoolmaster at the
disposal of officers that they might
have an opportunity to complete their
elementary educations-a good in
stance of his grim humor. But it
has often been demonstrated that the
"choolmaster is needed among the
British officers. Some queer, quaint
efforts at composition have been
made in brigade ORDERS
A certain major ordained not long
ago that "reveille will be at $3.50 a. m.
The brigade will parade at a. IN.
The brigade will move at 4:15 a. m.
The sun will rise at a. M" 1t was
during the guerrilla war of 190l-:,
after the building of the blockhouses,
that 1t became necessary to check the
habit of the men Of sleeping outside
the blockhouses for the sake of cool
ness and comfort. A certain staff Of
flcer thereupon issued the following
order: mo one is permitted to sleep
outside the blockhouses except the
sentries."
Tn ough the intention of this order
is clear, its phraseology is not: Men
on outpost duty are forbidden to
strike matches on the sky line"

Keep Out Of the Past,

Whatever you do in this wonderful world,
In business. in church or at play,
Whatever of gain or OF loss you have
With the others who go your way,
Keep out of the past
From the first to the last
And away from its worries stay;
The present has wealth YOU would never
suspect
If prudent you are and wisely elect
To live in the light of to-day.
The things that are past did very well
To-day they are rusty and stale.
Ihat trouble you had with your fellow
man
Did you struggle in vain and fail?
What of it. indeed?
There is all the more need
mat you start on a different trail.
Don't take to the woods, whatever you
do.
Just look right ahead; there's a fortune
for you
In keeping a well trimmed sail.
So cramped can We be in our mental
states,
So burdened with might-have -beens,
That life will become a woeful waste
For its many outs and ms
But stop and reflect
You will never be wrecked
BY your own or anothers sins
II the past you will keep in its proper
And meet what is yours with a candid
'Tis the man Of to- day who wins.

Hitherto the product Of the worlds

Unique Cycling Feac.

What is perhaps an unparalleled
feat IN cycling is reported in recent
Australian mail. a one-legged cyclist
has successfully pedaled his way from
Rochhampton to Sydney, a distance
OF about 400 miles by road measure
ment Not counting delays and stop
pagaS, ne did the journey in twenty
eight days on machine provided with
only single pedal. He achieved
ninety miles on his best day: and on
his worst, in bad, rough country, lie

going to essay the more perilous feat
OF crossing Australia from Adelaide IN
the south to Port Darwin in the north,
a distance of 1000 miles, largely uo'

Ave days he was assisted to escape.
He was furnished with a carbine and
food, and he went into hiding within
three miles of the fort.
He felt that he had been unjustly
treated and that he had been dis
graced without cause, and he calmly
and deliberately made up his mind
to kill the man responsible. 1t was
for this reason that he fingered near
the fort.
Almost every morning the major
rode down to the boiling spring, three
miles down the rough trail. and there
were fifty places where he could be
ambushed. The spot selected was a
big rock alongside the trail. and Tom
was on the watch there the morning
after his escape.
1t was seven o'clock before the
echoes of the iron-shod hoofs OF the
majors horse reached his ears, and
an instant later he was peering out
from behind the rock.
1t was the major, alone on the trail.

"she's got the face Of an ANGEL"
No one was in sight in either direc-
ton.
AS the soldier made ready with his
carbine the major let fall his reins
he did so photograph fell from the
letter to the stony highway unnoticed
by him. Queer as it may seem. curl
osity about the photograph overbal-
anced Tom Germans thirst for re-
venge for the moment, and he let the
officer pass.
A minute later he had the card in
his hand. 1t was the picture of little
girl not over five years old-a sweet
faced little thing-and underneath
was written From Elsie to Papa"
No soldier at Fort Brown had asked
or could know whether their martinez
was a married man or not. They had
not discussed his home ties-only his
discipline. Here was new factor In
the case. German crept back to his
ambush with his eyes fixed on the
face, and his own features began to
soften.
From Elsie to Papa" he repeated
over and over again. Damn me. but
it must be mis- kid! He got the letter
last night. She's got the face OF an
angel, and when her mother tells her
that her father is dead"
Private German found his heart in
his throat. He was not father but
he was a lover of children He'd have
given three months pay to pick Elsie
up in his arms and give her kiss.
There were dimples in her cheeks and
a smile on her mouth. He held the
picture to his lips and whispered:
"You amt to blame for it, little one.
Whatever he is to us, and badly as
he's used me, he loves you and you
him, and l can't break your heart in
trying to get even. I'm here to kill
him, and was going to do it when
he came back; but you're too sweet
thing to be left fatherless."
The major came riding back, his
eyes on the ground as if looking for
some lost object. At the rock he halt
ed.
"If you hadn't lost it you would have
been lying out there with bullet
through your heart!" whispered Cor
man as he rose and looked after the
disappearing major.
And then, thrusting the photograph
into his breast pocket, he shOuldered
his carbine, gave himself a shake, and
headed for the land Of the outlaw and
the deserter.-Thomas Foye. in Bos-

GROWS UPON OTHER TREGs.

Must Have Much Sunlight.
"Orchids are not the only planes

of the government bureau of forestry
recently in discussing tropical plantA
In the Hawaiian islands is tree,
growing from thirty to 100 feet hign'
which often begins life away Up on
top of other trees. Unless it did this
1t could not exist at all in those dark.
dank forests. 1t is sun-lOving tres,
of the kind that foresters call 'intol-
Grant, because they will not tolerate
other trees near enough to them 20
shade them.
These trees are the lehuas. When
mature lehua casts its seeds. good
portion of them fall on other trees.
Whether these other trees are alive
or dead, the lehua seed begins to ger
inmate on them as healthily as II 1t
has fallen into the richest earth.
"As soon as the seed opens and be-
gins to sprout tiny roots go climbing
down the trunks of the trees to the
ground. With time, as the little plant
becomes large, the roots increase IN
girth, until at last they are great
solid things, as thick and powerful
as those of any other big tree.
Usually the tree on which the
lehua grows begins to decay about
this time. and after awhile it withers
and rots away. This leaves the lehua
standing on its roots high in the air;
and such forest presents a wonder
full and weird sight
1T is no joke to get through lehua
forest where all the trees have grown
this way. The roots run one way and
another, and interlace so that often
there isn't space big enough for q
rabbit to crawl through. There ID
no use in trying to cut or hew a way
into the lehua woods, for the roots
are as tough as roots generally are.
and no American farmers boy who
has ever put in a season at breaking
out stumps needs to be told just how
| tough that is"
