The canon, whose habits of quotation
had been thus sarcastically alluded
to. only smiled and shook his head.
you need not be afraid of my re-
peating anything, Miss Gilbert, said
the young scholar, gravely; and back

the room.
You've frightened that young
man very much, Sophy," remarked
her guardian, reprovingly; "he is a
mathematician, and takes everything
seriously, even your pert little jokes.
I'm so sorry" replied the girl,
with pretense of penitence and
running up to her guardian, she gave
him an affectionate kiss.
You could never have guessed from
her manner what was the actual fact
that, so far from frightening Mr.
John Adair, that gentleman had
frightened her to the verge of faint
ing fit.

This remarkable tree is a native of
Natal and other parts of South Africa.
Its odd name was given to it because
one cannot saw it without sneezing
violently. The dust Of its wood has
just the same effect as the strongest
snuff, and is so irritating to the nose
that workmen are Obliged to sneeze
even when they are planning it. If
piece of the wood of this tree is put
in the mouth it is found to have o.
very bitter taste, and no doubt it is
this bitterness which prevents insects
Of any kind from attacking the tim.
Der of the sneeze-wood tree. The fact
that insects find it SO disagreeable
makes its wood very valuable for
work that is required to last long
time.

Former Secretary Shaw has been
elected president of the Carnegie
Trust Company at New York. Asked
as to the effect that this step would
have upon his political fortunes, he
replied: "a man by taking thought
may make himself justice of the
peace, but no man in my time by
taking thought has made himself
President of the United States, and
those who have given the subject
most serious consideration have
usually died in disappointment. Ad-
mittedly some of the successful ones
have sought the place, but no one was
nominated because he sought it,"

Walter Wellman has never, in the
opinion of the New York Tribune,
said anything which betrays more
good sense than his remark that "the
plan of reaching the Pole with an
airship is too good to be ruined by a
premature attempt" Those who
hope for the ultimate success of the
methods which he has adopted will
rejoice to know that he does not in
tend to start from Spitzbergen until
he has made elaborate tests of his
vehicle.
