Leaves That Are Fifty Feet Long.


In our temperate climate none OF
the trees has leaves of size that
will even compare favorably with
those of the sea island and tropical
countries in general. The maple,
the oak and the elm leaves are but
infnitesimal bits of green when
compared with the gigantic sheets
of velvety verdure found on some
Of the trees, shrubs and plants of
South and Central America. The
South American tree which has the
largest leaf is the Inaja palm, which
grows on the banks Of the Amazon.
The leaves of this giant are often
fifty feet in length, but they are
very narrow, seldom exceeding eight
to ten feet. With the Ceylonese
cocoanut palm it is different. In
that species the leaves are from
twenty to twenty-five feet in length
and from sixteen to eighteen in
width. The natives of Ceylon are
said to use these leaves in tentmak-
ing, three or four being sufficient
to make a shelter for whole fam

Twelfth NIGHT.

Jan. 6 is Twelfth Night. OF old
this was night of revels and feast
ing, and in foreign countries the
peasants still make feast on the
evening Of the day, walking in the
fields and building bonfres, around
which they drink their neighbors'
healths and good fortunes for the
coming year. The church feast is
the Epiphany, and until the fourth
century al the world of Christen-
dom celebrated it as Christmas. The
western church then transferred the
date back twelve days. Twelfth
Night cake is an ancient dish and is
an invariable accompaniment Of any
festivity given in honor of the day.
The cake Is merely rich mixture
filled with raisins and nuts and is
ornamented with twelve candles,
representing the twelve apostles, al
though there were only eleven apos-
ties to whom the manifestation of
the Epiplsany was made. - New

THE OLDEST oBELlsk.
= Stands on the Banks Of the Nile Not
Far From Cairo.


Far From Cairo.
The Oldest of all the obelisks il
the beautiful one of rosy granite
which stands alone among the green
fields on the banks of the Nile not
lar from Cairo. It is the grave
stone of great city which has van
lshed and left only this relic behind.
That city was Bethshemes of Scrip
ture, the famous On, which is men,
orable to all Bible readers as the
residence of the priest of On, Poti-
pherah, whose daughter Asenath
Joseph married. The Greeks called
it Heliopolis, the city of the sun. be-
cause there the worship Of the sun
had its chief center and its most
sacred shrine. 1t was the seat of
the most ancient university in the
world, to which youthful students
came from all parts of the world to
learn the occult wisdom which the
priests of On alone could teach.
Thales, Scion, Eudoxus, Pythago-
ras and Plato all studied there; per-
haps Moses too. It was also the
birthplace of the sacred literature
OF Egypt, where was written on
papyrus leaves the original chapter
OF the Oldest book in the world, gen
orally known as "The Book of the
Dead giving most striking ac-
count of the conflicts and triumphs
of the life after death, whole copy
or fragment Of which every Egyp-
tian, rich or poor, wished to have
buried with him in his coffin and
portions of which are found inscrib-
ed on every mummy case and on
the walls of every tomb. In front
of one of the principal temples of
the sun in this magnificent city
stood, along with a companion long
since destroyed, the solitary obelisk
which we now behold on the spot.
1t alone has survived the wreck of
all the glory Of the place. It was
constructed by Usertesen l., who is
supposed to have reigned $500 B. c.,
and has outlived all the dynastic
changes of the land and still stands
where it originally stood nearly for
ty-seven centuries ago. What APP
pears of its shaft above ground is
sixty-eight feet in height, but its
base is buried in the mud of the
Nile, and year after year the inunda-
ton of the river deposits its film of
soil around its foot and buries it
still deeper in its sacred grave

THE MOOSE YARD.
Winter Quarters Of the Animal and ths
Hunt For Food.

Winter Quarters Of the Animal and he
Hunt For Food.
The yarding of the moose is IA
miliar phrase that has furnished the
ground for several misconceptions.
Many persons think that moose
yard is a large place, with all the
snow in it hammered down smooth
and surrounded by straight wall
of untrodden snow which rises to
the level Of the deep, soft covering
Of the forest beyond. They imagine,
further, that as soon as the new
snowstorm begins the moose gets
to work, hoof and horn, to hammer
it down smooth and hard within
the yard.
The fact is that when the snow
deepens the moose family, father,
mother and little ones, or sometimes
several families together, settle in
some place of abundant food and
by winding daily in this they cover
the ground with a network of path
ways. The longer they stay the
more and wider the pathways, so
that finally there are but few spaces
untrodden of twenty square yards
across.
The deeper the snow in the woods
the more the moose must work for
their food, since the lower bushes
and ground herbs are cut off, and
thus the difference between the
snow in the yard and that in the
woods increases. If the food is suf-
fciently abundant in the yard and
no hunters find them the moose stay
there till spring. If it gives out,
they must begin perilous journey
through the snow in search of an
other place. It is during this jour
ney only that they fear the wolves.
It is always done in single file, 50
that the young ones in the rear do
not have a very hard time, and it is
usually done with judgment found
ed on their memory Of the country.
The moose yard is commonly fire.
quented by. the moose birds, OF Cam
ada Jays. / am not sure why The
moose by tearing down and roofing
up logs and dead trees may expose
worms, etc., or the parasitic insects
in their hair may furnish food for
the bird. There are several other
cases of small birds associating with
large beasts, and in each the bird
is believed to serve the beast as a
Waterman and get his return in
parasitic insects.
With the melting Of the snow the
necessity for yarding ceases, and
the moose family scatters.-Ernest
Thompson Seton in Scribner's.

STRANGE. but True.

Il saw a curious thing the Other
day." said the favorite story teller
at party.
'sWell, what was it? Is it a true
story?" asked one of the listeners.
Yes;. perfectly true. I saw
duck swimming across pond and a
cat sitting on its TAIL"
sTndeed!" exclaimed another lis
tener. "What sort of a duck was it!
Any particular kind -
Yes; it was diving duck.
Strange to say, the duck dived.'
For some moments there was 81
lence; then a lady asked:
"And what became Of the poor
cat? Was it drowned, or did it
only lose one of its nine lives 2"
mo; it wasn't drowned" said the
story teller SSYou see, the duck
dived in the middle Of the pond, but
the cat was sitting on its own tail
