The Hazel Tree.

A curious survival Of the days when
the magicians Of Europe sought indie
fatigably for the philosophers stone is
the superstition that attaches to the
hazel tree. The old alchemists used
to make their divining rods out Of
hazel twigs, and they fostered the be-
lief that it would mysteriously direct
its owner to hidden treasures, if it was
manipulated with the absolute faith
that was required in all thee occult
entertainments of the middle ages. AS
time went on, the rod Of Jacob" as
a branch of hazel was universally
known, gathered new powers. Not
only would it lead to the discovery Of
buried boards, but it would also act
as an infallible agent in locating run
away servants and escaped criminals.
It was a sure guide to underground
springs as we'll, and was an unfailing
charm against the lightning.

Protection For Swimmer.

"Cotton in the ears" said a physi-
clan, should be used by all those who
swim out beyond their depth. You
know how often good swimmers of
that type drown, don't you? Their
drowning is imputed to cramp, but
you will never find one of the drown
ed with his ears stuffed with cotton.
Why? Eli tell you why. Because it
isn't cramp that causes these drown
ings. It is a perforation Of the ear
drum, followed by inconsistencies,
due to the pressure of the water
Cramp isn't, after all, the deadly thing
it is made out to be. If you get a
cramp in your leg while swimming it
is easy enough to roll over on your
back and float. The cramp won't kill
you. But a perforation Of the ear
drum is different It takes away
your senses. and down you go like a
log. So always. if you are going to
do much swimming, stuff cotton in
your ears New York Press.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

No one is defeated until he gives up.
Hard times has a good many rela-
tives. 1t is the twin brother Of the
blues.
That man has failed who has not
been able to keep a good opinion of
himself.
Self control will succeed with one
talent where self indulgence will fail
with ten.
What the superior man seeks is in
himself What the small man seeks
Is in others.
There is no disgrace in unprevent-
able poverty. The disgrace is in not
doing our level best to better our con-
dition
Poverty itself Is not so bad as the
poverty thought. It is the conviction
that we are poor and must remain so
that is fatal
Confidence is the Napoleon in the
mental army. It doubles and trebles
the power Of all the other faculties.
The whole mental army waits until
confidence leads the way.-Success.

Diamond Mine Prisons.

Each of the great South African dia-
mond mines has its several compounds,
where the Kaft1rs are imprisoned These
are Enclosures with walls sufficiently
high to prevent escape. and around the
walls is stretch Of roofing sufficient
to prevent the inmates from tossing
diamonds to the outside to be picked
up by confederates. In the early days
the Kafhrs used to throw diamonds
over the walls in tin cans, so that their
wives or friends might come and pick
them up. When the Kafhrs go to Kim
berley from their tribes they agree to
submit to imprisonment. The shortest
period is three months, but there are
many who have never been out of the
compounds for two or three years.

THE MODERN HOTEL.
A Product of the Times, 1T Is Made by
the Guests.

Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping, one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns Of colonial
days. In these articles the writer di-
lates and expatiates on the hospitality
Of the old time tavern, and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands Of the modern
hotel man. OF course every one knows
if he will drop sentiment for a moment
and give the subject a little sober re-
Election that the modern traveller, tour
list or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn of a hundred years ago. The
only advantage Of hotel Of those
times lay in the fact that the lack Of
material comforts drew from the trav-
eler a warmer fellow feeling and great
er sociability-a condition in which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today. Again, the travel
by coach and the small number thrown
together, en- route Or at the hotel, made
closer acquaintanceship not only posi-
Bile, but far more desirable than in our
day Of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is a product Of the
times. The wants, desires. vhims, fads
and on top of all these, the imperative
demands Of those who travel have
| made the hotel Of today what it is from
| the standpoint of food, accommoda-
tons, method of service and manage
ment and from every point of view.
! The hotel keeper Of today responds to
| the bidding Of the guests. One might
! almost say Of the man and woman who
! travel: Here is your hotel. You have
| planned it, furnished it. You have out
lined its methods Of management, and
it is what you believe should be COM
! pretended in the modern hotel"
! The colonial tavern, which would not
be tolerated for moment in our days,
was adapted to it's times. To speak of
| It as being superior to the modern hos
telry Is to claim that the old stage
coach, which left you more weary and
worn at the end Of a hundred miles
than the palace coach does today al
the end Of thousand miles, was su.
perior vehicle Of travel to those used
on the modern railroad.-Hotel World.

A Funny Incident.

When Senator Wolcott first went to

firm name of ED Wolcott & Bro"
Later the partnership was dissolved.
The future senator packed his few as
sets, including the sign that had hung
outside of his Office, upon burro and
started for Georgetown, mining town
farthur up in the hills. Upon his ar
rival he was greeted by a crowd Of
miners who critically surveyed him
and his outfit. One of them looking
drst at the sign that hung over the
pack, then at Wolcott and finally at
the donkey ventured, Say, stranger,
which Of you is EdY'
