Ry.Produets of camnhor.

Every part of a camphor tree, even
to the leaves, contains camphor. The
forests are not confined to Formosa
alone, but are also found in Japan
proper. With the extension Of the in
dustry the large areas of this tree
have been greatly reduced, though
%replanting and cultivation are prac-
tised to a considerable extent, a tree
requiring fifty years to attain a di-
ameter of one foot. In Formosa,
however, there is still an extensive
supply of native forest growth, says
the Scientific American, and many
huge trees are to be found in regions
still u%nexplored. The supply, there
fore, is assured for years to come.

the memory of the dead comes over

I remember a delightful little sup
per which took place at the Fields
residence while the war was still in
progress. The guests of the occasion
were Mrs. Stowe, with one Of her
daughters, Henry Ward Beecher and
myself. Mr.. Beecher had occupied
part of the evening with a stirring lee
ture on some topic relative to the
crisis of the moment There had
been talk of a new federation of
states, from which New England
should be excluded. The lecturer had
said: IL take it that there will be
patching and darning on our national
map when New England is left out
in the cold" He had also humorous
ly commented p o the grandiose
style of Yankee lying in comparison
with that of our English relatives. At
the supper which followed Mrs. Stowe
said to her brother: Henry, when
you were a boy, you used to lie in
that lordly Yankee fashion of which
you spoke in your lecture just now
To this accusation Mr.. Beecher laugh
ingly pleaded guilty, amusing us with
some anecdotes of his youthful mis-.
chief.-Julia Ward Howe, in the Read

Gave Mistress Of White House Her
Empire over Hearts.
To define the charm OF a charming
is always difficult. Dolly Mad
ison's features were not regular, nor
vas her figure perfect. She was not
witty, nor al she wise, and she par
ticipated little, if at all, in her hus-
bands intellectual life. Nevertheless
she stands out as the greatest of all
mistresses Of the White House, and
her popularity was unbounded. She
ruled over her world in Washington
with genial good nature and instinct
i've tact. Her nature was warm, af-
f%ectionate and impressionable. She
loved life and people and her world
loved her. Her brilliant coloring, an
mated face and w~ell-rounded figure
went with a cordial manner and sym
pathy for those about her amounting
to genius, and she was always ready
to bubble into laughter.
Who could resist such a woman, the
wife of a President? She was the
center Of observation at the inaugural
ball, but she would have been the
center of observation at any ball, wen
If she had not been the presidents

Birds Lost in the Air.

In the far north, and particularly
along the ocean coasts, birds are fire.
Quently storm-driven and lose their
bearings, so that many of them are
lost at sea. They keep floating in the
air, aimlessly striving to live, until ex
baustion compels them to drop into
the waves, which engulf them. There
is a well authenticated case on record
of an ocean liner bringing into New
York on a winters day a large white
owl, which had dropped to one of the
forward spars in an exhausted condi-
ton more than 500 miles. OFF the coast
