Easter Services.

Easter was duly celebrated at the
several churches in Wellington
with appropriate services The
regular Sunday services were varied
with musical programs Of unusual
merit. Sunday was an ideal spring
day, and the attendance was large
at all tie churches where services
were held.
At the M. E. church DIR. Thomas
Nicholson, president of the Mitchell
University, preached two powerful
sermons. The subject of the morn
ing discourse was 1.-The Resurrec-
tion," that of the evening discourse
was "Symetrical Manhood. DIR.
Nicholson also addressed the Sun
day School in the afternoon. AS
was to be expected from man IN
his position, the sermons were
scholarly and profound, and were
delivered in forceful manner. AT
the evening services a delightful
musical program was rendered, IN
which Addington's orchestra as
sisted the chorus.
At the Baptist church in lieu of
any preaching service, the Sunday
school held it's graduation exercise.
A class OF four were graduated from
the primary to the intermediate
class.
At the Swdish Lutheran church

OAK AND PINE.

The Value and Usefulness of These
= Classes of Woods.
Though generally assumed that oak
is the. wood capable of being put to the
greatest variety of uses, it is known, as
matter of fact, that the pine is really
the most used, on account Of its great
abundance. Nevertheless, the timber of
the oak combines in itself the essential
elements of strength and durability,
hardness and elasticity in degree
Which no other tree can boast, unrival-
ed as material of shipbuilding, also
superior in architecture, cabnetmak-
ing, carving, mill work, cooperage and
nnumerable. other purposes, while the
bark is of great value as furnishin
tan and yielding bitter extract in con
tinual demand for medicinal purposes.
But of uses for the pine details would
be we'll nigh endless: The timber is in
valuable in houses and ship carpentry;
common turpentine is extracted from it
in vast quantities and immense sup
plies of tar, pitch, resin and lampblack.
In the manufacture of matches, and,
above all, paper pulp, thousands and
tens of thousands of acres of pine for
ests are cut down every year, and,
briefly, the timber of this tree, consti-
tuting as it does the chief material of
English and American builders, may be
said to be more used than all other
kinds of wood put together.

Reading ON a Train.

If you travel back and forth into
town every day you no doubt read
your paper or magazine on the train.
While this is not, indeed, the best prac-
tice for the eyes, it seems a pity to
waste so much time which might be
turned to good account. Much Of the
annoyance which comes from train
reading is due to the jolting of the
cars, which continually knocks the
printed line out of focus with the eye.
This can be in some degree obviated
by laying card or some other object
below the line to be read and moving
It steadily downward while reading.
This acts as guide to the eye and
helps to keep the sight fixed. Those
who have tried it say that it wonder
fully assists to decrease the difficulty
of reading while in motion.

Tried the Effect of a Title.

Among the neighbors who annoyed
Carlyle none perhaps gave him SO
much trouble as the boys who played
about near his house. They made no
secret of their dislike of the philoso-
pher and stood in dread of his stick
when he went abroad James Waylen,
who did great part of the research
for the Cromwell" and who was at
Carlyle's house almost daily, was one
morning standing on the doorstep of
the house in Cheyne row waiting to
be let in when one Of these young
urchins came up to him in a deferen-
tial manner, and, touching his cap.
said: please, sir, would you ask
Lord Carlyle to give me my top? It's
tumbled down his airey." During the
mornings work Carlyle and Waylen
ehuckled together over the conciliatory
title which the lad had created for his
enemy.

where Total Ec,ipses Are Rare.

1t is a fact we'll known to astron-
omers that the average number Of total
and partial eclipses in any one year is
four; that the maximum is seven and
the minimum two. Where only two
occur they are always both of the sun.
There are a great many more eclipses
of the sun in the course of year or
a hundred years than there are of the
moon. This fact Notwithstanding,
however, London, the metropolis of the
world, seems to be place where such
distractions to the suns light seldom

The oranre Tree

The orange is the longest lived fruit
tree. 1t begins to bear the third year
after budding, and for 100 years it will
yield abundant crops. Orange trees
have been known to attain the ripe
age Of 300. The orange requires less
care and attention than any other fruit
tree. Its early growth is rapid. In the
first two years 1t grows more than 1t
win In the next fifty. This refers of
course to its height and breadth alone
Its fruit stems and consequently its
crops Increase more rapidly after the
first ten years.

So any mischief resulting from cutting

Opinions differ as to whether lash cut
