into the city treasury as compensation
for the franchise. for trackage and other
considerations, an estimated sum of from
$2,500,000 to s3,000,o00 during the twen-

pany have also agreed to similar terms,
both as to limit Of franchise and basis Of
compensation to the city, although not
having the great terminal advantages
that will accrue to the Pennsylvania

Not only does the city derive these di-

jected to a strong polar wind.
In such a climate it is impossible
for trees to grow erect, as they do in
other countries, but nature has
made amends by furnishing a supply
of wood in the most curious shape
imaginable. The visitor to the Falk-
lands sees scattered here and there
singular shaped blocks of what ap-
pear to be weather beaten and moss
covered powders. in various sizes.
Attempt to turn one Of these
'bowlders" over and you will meet
with a surprise. because the stone is
actually anchored by roots of great
strength; in fact, you will find that
you are fooling With one of the native
trees.
No other country in the world has
such a peculiar forest growth, and
1t is said to be next to impossible to
work the odd-shaped blocks into fuel.
because the wood is perfectly devoid
of grain, and appears to be a
twisted mass of woody fibres.

cent voyage. On voyage from San
Francisco to London the captains
attention was called to a large sea
monster, heading four points on the
port bow of the ship. The monsters
color was Of large blotches of black
and sort of sand and gray in be-
tween. The monster was of whale
back shape, and fully 200 feet long,
the highest part of it's back extending
nearly twenty feet above the sea sur
face. After approaching the steamer
the animal remained on the surface
for few minutes and then hurried
away. Capt. Stavely did not see the
two extremes of the monsters body.
After arriving in London Capt. Stave-
ly learned that the sea monster had
been previously reported by a steam
er that had passed it on moonlight
night. During his visit in Berkshire

noId alorv.

Many persons think, perhaps, that
the term, "Old Glory as applied to
our national flag, "just grew" like
Topsy, but there is on record an au-
thentic account of the fact that it was
christened SO in the year 1881.
In the history of the Driver family
OF Salem, Mass, it is related that
Capt. William Driver of the ship
Charles Doggett was at one time pre-
pairing for a voyage to the south Pa
cific ocean, when some of his fellow
townsmen came on board the vessel
and presented him with a very hand
somely made flag.
The flag was done up in stops, .
and when 1t was hauled to the mast
head and broken out to the breeze
Capt. Driver called it "Old Glory" 1t
is possible that he had heard someone
else use the term, but if so, he seems
to have given no intimation of the
fact, for the story credits him with in
venting 1t.
Capt. Driver took the flag to the
south Pacific with him and kept it
with great care even after he left the
sea. At the time of the outbreak of
the civil war he was living in Nash
vile, Tenn, and "Old Glory" the
original, used to kiss the breeze from
window Of his house every day, for
he was stanch Union man.
When Tennessee joined the confed-
eracy. however, he had to keep the
flag hidden, and the place he selected
was inside a big bed comfort, where
It lay until the latter part of Febru-
ary, 1852, when the Union troops en-
tered Nashville. He then brought it
out and offered it to Gen. Nelson, to
be hauled up over the capitol. The
general accepted the offer and Capt.
Driver himself hoisted the flag. So
highly did he value 1t, that he watched
Il during the night and when a strong
wind came up he hauled it down and
hoisted new one in its place
The captain treasured "Old Glory"
religiously. and when he died, in 1886,
it was sent to the Essex institute at
Salem, Mass, where It may now be
seen.

Needles. pins and euttons.

Have you ever met girl who
pinned on her shoe buttons? remem-
Der one that used to know at school,
and we girls pitied her with all our
hearts. We happened to have an old
fashioned teacher in the school who
told us that it was sin to use pin
where button should be, and that a
pinned undergarment was a deception.
So the poor, careless girl with pinned
eyes. This teacher who taught liter
ature had a sewing basket on her desk
and loaned needles with thread to any
one who had button off or glove to
mend.

Affection Of Seals.

Natural affection Of seals lin their
wild state) is well shown in the fol
lowing anecdote: A gentleman living
in Oregon, on the ocean shore, one
day caught in a very simple manner a
young seal. 1t had been stranded on
the plank wharf by a receding tide,
and left high and uncomfcrtably dry
as well. 1t had not strength to wad-
die into the water, and no one to
teach it the tricks of its tribe. The
gentleman kept the little glossy crea-
ture for several days, and then in pity
turned it into its native element. 1t
came to the wharf every night and
whimpered SO that he was Obliged to
take it out again and keep it in a
small tank, the seaI giving every dem.
onstration Of affection, alter the man
ner of young dog.

A statement in one Of the newspa-
pers that J. l.. M. Curry, who has Just
died, and Judge Reagan of Texas, who
IS still alive, we're the last survivors
Of the men who sat in the Confederate
congress has called out from the Nor
folk Ledger the correction that John
Goode Of Virginia is still alive. The
Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser makes
another addition to the list-Henry G.
Jones, John p. Rails and James l..
Pugh, all of the Advertisers own state.
The Nashville American cites two 9th
err persons as Confederate congress
aurvivors-Dr. Thomas O. Menees and
Col. A. S. Colyar. both Of Tennessee,
the Colonel. who is writing biography
of Jackson and who is a frequent con
tributor to the Nashville and Memphis
newspapers, being the liveliest sort of
a live person.
These Southern newspapers are for
getting the biggest of all the living
men who served In the congress of
the Confederacy-George G. Vest Of
Missouri. True, the Senator's state
did not secede. In fact, II decided. by
a majority of 10000. against seces-
sion. But Missouri had some very ar
dent secessionists in high places in its
government Among these We're Gov.
Claiborne f. Jackson and Lieut-Gov.
Thomas c. Reynolds. Jackson called
a rump legislature in session in
Neosho, In the southwestern part OF
the state, where II could be protected
by Prices army, in the latter part OF
1861, and that body made pretense
OF taking Missouri out OF the Union.
John b. Clark and II. l.. Y. Peyton
we're elected Senators from Missouri
to the Congress at Richmond and a
full quota OF persons were sent to the
House OF Representatives in the same
city, among them being George G.
Vest who was a member Of the Mis-
souri legislature at that time. and en-
tldsiastically in favor OF secession.
All this goes TO show that the mem
bers Of the Confederate government
were a pretty long-liyed race Of men.
Every man who sat at Lincolns coun-
ell table has been dead for years past
but John II. Reagan. Jefferson Dayiss
Postmaster General, who is getting
along toward the 90-year mark, is one
OF the briskest Of Texans. Several
men are or were in the United States
Congress who were there during parts
Of the Civil war days. among them be-
ing Grow Of Pennsylvania. who
stepped down from Congress on March
last, and Allison Of Iowa and Stewart
OF Nevada.
1t will probably be found that. in
proportion to the numbers in the two
bodies, there are to-day more suryi-
vors Of Davis's than Of Lincoln's Con-
gress. Longstreet, Gordon and other
commanders OF high rank on the
Southern side are still alive, while
Mosby, In his recent fights against the
cattle bandits Of the plains. has been

he displayed forty years ago in the

Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes
After its own life working child's kiss
Set on thy singing lips shall make thee
glad;
poor man served by thee shall make
thee RICH
A sick man helped by thee shall make
thee strong;
Thou shalt be served thyself by every
sense
OF service which thou renderest.
