June 22.-Third musical jubilee Of
German singers, Saturday to Tuesday,
18th to 22d. The execution Of the
Magic Flute overture by 1000 voices
was very uncommon and surprising by
the New York clubs and was received
with great applause. The Eintrachts
Of Newark sang s'Wallisischec Schlf-
fergesang" in distinguished manner.
But the most marked performance was
Martin Luther's Elm Feste Burg lst
Unser Gott," arranged by Finke. We
felt Immediately what religious music
really is-how grand, solemn and sub
lime such a hymn is when performed
by large orchestra and hundreds Of
voices. It was something to be re-

THE SERPENT'S VENOM.
Mohammedan Legend OF the Origin
Of the Tobacco Plant.

Mohammedan Legend OF the Origin
Of the Tobacco Plant.
The prophet was taking stroll in
the country when he saw a serpent
stiff with cold, lying on the ground
BE compassionately took it up and
warmed it in his bosom. When the
serpent had recovered it said:
9.Divine prophet, listen. I am now
going to bite thee"
.Why, pray?" inquired Mohammed-
Because thy race persecutes mine
and tries to stamp it OUT
'sBut does not thy race, too, make
perpetual war against mine?" was tht
prophets rejoinder. "Eow canst thou
besides, be so ungrateful and so soon
forget that I saved thy life?'
sThere is no such thing as gratitude
upon this earth" replied the serpent
.sand if I were now to spare thee
either thou or another Of thy race
would kill me. By Allah, I shall bite
thee"
eff thou hast sworn by Allah, / wi!
not cause thee to break thy VOW" saiC
the prophet, holding his hand to the
serpent's mouth. The serpent bit him
but he sucked the wound with his lips
and spat the venom on the ground
And on that very spot there Sprans
I'D a plant which combines within It
self the venom OF the serpent and the
compassion Of the prophet. Men cal
this plant bv the name Of tobacco

A WILDERNESS OF TREES.
Inaccessible Forests That Abound In
Guatemala.

Inaccessible Forests That Abound In
Guatemala.
Nearly all of the northern and east
ern part Of Guatemala is covered with
a dense tropical forest, consisting Of
mahogany, different kinds Of cedar,
chicle and other hard woods. Along
streams down which logs can be float
ed much of the mahogany has been
cut, but as yet very little Of the other
woods have been marketed This is es-
pecially true Of the departments Of Pc
ten, Alta Verepaz and Izabal.
Most Of the forests still belong to the
government, and the usual method OF
securing the timber is by concession,
BY which certain number Of trees are
cut at a given price per tree, or stp-
uIated sum Is paid for the timber on a
given tract. It is not an easy matter
to get titles to large tracts Of land In
Guatemala, as it is discouraged by the
government These concessions are not
usually granted for a longer period
than FIVE years. Sometimes it is stipu-
lated that If certain number Of trees
are cut during that time they must be
renewed.
The pine forests are limited, being ID
the mountainous country principally
and inaccessible. Most Of the lumber
used Genes fIom the United States,
principally from California. The for
ests Of this country are generally so
inaccessible that the railroad compa-
MES import nearly all their ties and
even import coal, because it is difficult
FOR them to get enough frewood.-New

The Ideal Camera.

The ideal camera for naturalist pur.
poses is one Of the reflex type. In which
the photographer can see his object
the size Of it will be reproduced on bis
plate, the right way up-and can see
it until the moment Of exposure. Such
a camera with a long bellows and q
lens which Is intended for plate at
least one size larger than the plate
be Is using in his camera and also pro
v.1ed with a curtain shutter which
works just in front Of the plate, with
speeds varying from time exposure

RED OR GREEN.
Color Troubles OF the Color Blind
Poet Whittier.

Color Troubles Of the Color Blind
Poet, Whittier.
It is we'll known that the poet Whit
tier was color blind and unable to dis
tinguish red from green. He once
bought for himself a necktie which be
supposed to be of a modest and suit
able olive tint and wore it once. He
never wore it again, for his friends
soon made him aware that it offended
against the traditional quietness Of
costume enjoined alike by the habits
of the Friends and by his own taste
The tie was of flaming scarlet.
On another occasion, when he found
little girl In distress on account Of
a new gown, made over from her elder
sisters, which was not becoming tt
her coloring and complexion, he tried
to console her.
81 wouldn't mind what rude boy
says about it, Mary" he said kindly
wrhee looks very well indeed in it
like an Dread, Mary, dressed all in
green
Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed
in green. She was red haired, and hel
dress was red. That was the trouble
Once, on a day in mid-March, wher
out walking with Friend and deeply
engaged in conversation, Mr.. Whittier
approached too near for safety to a
place where blasting was going on
The danger signal was shown, but
neither Friend noticed it until work
man, violently waving his arms and
shouting, leaped before them and
warned them back.
''I didn't see the flag at ALL" said
Mr. Whittiec's companion.
Il saw it," rejoined the poet, with
a twinkle in his eye, ''but I thought ii
was in honor Of st. Patrick. Thee
knows my defect. I can't tell Erin
from explosions except by the harp

Feeding SiIkMornlS.

The quality and quantity Of silk pro-
duced by your silkworms will all de-
pend on how you feed them. Too
much food should not be given at once,
but they should never be left entirely
without at any time during the day
or night You must, therefore, watch
carefully to get an idea Of their appe-
tite and provide accordingly, says
Home Chat. Fresh nllberry leaves
are the proper food for silkworms, but
if at any time these are lot procurable
young lettuce leaves are the best sub
stitute, but they are only stop gap.
Silkworms cannot live for long pc
riod without their natural food.

A CURIOUS PROBLEM.
The Trembling Pillar at Reims q
Puzzle to Architects

Puzzle to Architects.
The famous trembling pillar at Reims
presents curious problem to archi-
tects. The Church Of ST. Nicaise is sur
rounded with pillars constructed to
prevent the walls from straining. At
the entrance Of the church Is a bell
tower. On one of the bells in this tow
er the phenomenon of the trembling
pillar depends. When this bell is rung
or even touched the top Of this pillar
sways.
1t goes and returns about seven
inches on each side, although the base
Of the pillar is immovable, and the
stones are so firmly cemented that it
seems like solid piece Of stone.
An authority who states that no
satisfactory solution Of this popularity
has been gives writes: What is very
singular is that, although the four bells
are about the same distance from the
trembling pillar, only one Of them has
any effect on it. The others may be
rung singly or all together without
moving it."
In 1775 little window was made In
the roof Of the church opposite the pill
lar. A board was placed on top Of the
pillar, and on 1t were put two glasses
Of water. Then the bell was rung. I'm
mediately the pillar began to sway, and
at the fifth stroke Of the bell the two
glasses were thrown of.
The ringing Of this bell has no effect
on the pillars between the phenomenal
one and the tower nor on any Of the
others, but formerly 1t was the first pil-
lar which swayed, then it became i'm
movable, and some years ago the one
next to it became the eccentric one.

The Original.

Foley & Co., Chicago, originated
Honey and Tar as a throat and lung
remedy, and on account Of the great
merit and popularity Of Foley's Honey
and Tar many limitations are offered
for the genuine. These worthless imi-
tations have similar sounding names.
Beware OF them. The genuine Foley's
Honey and Tar is in yellow package.
Ask for it and refuse any substitute, It
is the best remedy for coughs and colds.

The AMERICAN FEELING.
Loyalty to the Principles of sels
Government.


Government.
Every American should realize that
the principle Of self government is a
higher principle than that Of loyalty to
the best sovereign, for it is fidelity to
the highest good Of all and to virtue,
;rtellicence and God He who shares
IN the government gains in moral dig
nity. His manhood is developed by re-
sponssbility. he loves and will main
tain a government in which his own
will and intelligent choice are involved.
He will feel that upon his single arm,
his single voice, his single life, hangs
the preservation Of the government
and the national freedom. This Is the
American feeling It. burns in every
true American breast.
England is the only truly free coun-
try Of the old world, and the English
man is a free man; but our glory is
that humanity itself, one and indivisi-
Bile, may rise to higher plane with
US than in England. In England the
son treads precisely in the footsteps Of
his fathers, and it Is hard for man to
rise above the dead level Of the class
of society In which he was born. There
IS an oppressive weight resting on the
spirit Of the lower classes, and as long
as the absolute caste system prevails
to such an unnatural and irrational
extent the COVE ment will feel no sin
cere desire to eoucate the people above
their present condition. Here is our
undeniable ground Of superiority. Let
US not cast it away by allowing the
really vulgar idea Of material luxury
to overcome and overWheln. the high
er and nobler good.-James N. Hop

A rormer Russian Statesman.

During the first half Of Catherines
reign the leading statesman was Count
Panin, almost the only one Of the en-
press advisers who dared to think for
himself. He was the most level head
ed of her statesmen, and yet we read
concerning him that his Incidence and
sloth were beyond expression. BE was
voluptuous by temperament and sloth-
ful in system, and to the industrious
Swedish ambassador, Holker, he once
remarked: "My dear baron, it IS EVIL
dent that you are not accustomed to
affairs Of state II you let them inter-
fere with your dinner" In ITS the
English ambassador, Harris, wrote to
the British foreign Office, 'sYou will not
credit me if I tell you that out Of the
twenty-four hours Count Paoin only
gives half an hour to the discharge Of
his official duties"

THE DESERT MIRAGE.
In Explanation of This. Peculiar
Eyrnal- nf Nature.

An Explanation Of This. Peculiar
Freak Of Nature.
One of natures true wonders-one
upon which much has been written,
but which is yet not understood when
it's varied phenomena are considered
is the desert mirage. Travellers in the
arid regions Of the western and south
western United States tell Wondrous
tales concerning the spectral pictures
which the desert mirage has presented
for their inspection. Cool sheets of wa
ter and waving trees and grassy
swards appear where all is known to
be parched earth and burning sands.
Occasionally a mountain range will ap
pear on what is known to be a bound
less stretch Of level plain, or a herd OF
deer, cattle or other animals will be
seen apparently contentedly grazing
on the CLASSY surface Of the atmos-
phere. Cities are occasionally seen
hundreds Of miles from civilization,
and phantom SHIPS nave Deen knoWn
to loom up against the sky and appear
as real vessels to persons who lived
so far away from the waters that they
had never taken the trouble to visit the
seacoast and who had never seen q
real ship.
The explanation Of the mirage, as
usually given, is as follows:
The sand, being intensely hot, causes
the layers Of air which rest upon 1t to
become greatly rareded, and under GER
tain circumstances this layer is quite
distinct from the denser stratum few
inches or feet above it-just as If it
were a sheet Of water upon which oil
rested. 1t is this rarefed stratum Of
air which acts as reflector and pic
lures to the eye those curious inverted
