Privileged Guest.

Of prominent lecturer of London
an acquaintance says: "On one occa-
sion he was the guest of a friend OF
mine, a busy Liverpool merchant, and
when the popular lecturer returned
from the hall he asked for all sorts
of impossible dishes and liquid con-
eoctions peculiar to abstainers-a de-
Eand which somewhat upset the rou-
tine of the household. When in bed
his nervous temperament was tried;
he could not bear the ticking of the
clocks, so he paraded the house in the
small hours of the morning and
stopped them all. In consequence of
this the servants had to be reused
by violent bell-ringing; but the guest
was not to be distressed, so he arose
again and ordered the servants back
to their rooms and locked them in and
then went back to bed"

8, Standing That Country. .
The depletion of forests in the
United States Is the cause. for the re-
cent attention which has been given
ito timber lands in Mexico. This
country has vast tracts of valuable
timber which only await the advent
of the railroads. to make them of
enormous commercial value. In the
southern part of the republic the hard
woods, such as mahogany, ebony and
cedar, have long been exploited and
the supply is growing very limited
within the access of transportation
facilities. Large forests of such tim
Der still exist, however, in the more
remote sections. In the central and
northern parts of the republic there
are large tracts of soft pine, oak and
miscellaneous varieties, especially ON
the western slope of the central
mountain range, where there are as
yet almost no transportation facili-
ties, and along a wide strip of land
extending westward from the gulf
coast.

Fine Tree From Slip Planted by Revo.

A magnificent elm tree on the Wal.

of Lexington, dates from 1892, and
was planted by the father of Jonathan
Harrington, who was a small drummer
boy in the revolutionary war. The
boys father was I. farmer and sold
his produce in Salem On returning
home from market one day the horse
was weary and tagging in his gait; so
to urge him along Farmer Harrington
plncked small sapling elm from the
roadside to encourage a swifter gait.
When he got home the sapling was
so straight and evidently alive that
he put it in the ground The switch
