Explaining the Cnne.

Cling to your appendix with both hands,
says the Clerk of the Day in the Boston
Transcript. Rev. Samuel Van Vranken
Holmes, who preached at Harvard last
Sunday, has furnished the clerk with docu-
mentary evidence regarding the inestimable
value of appendices. In Buffalo where he
ministers TO a large and influential church,
he has lately been involved in a little un-
pleasantness with the Torreyites 1t
Glanced that his course OF addresses on
the modern view OF scripture synchronized
with the Torrey meetings and drew down
upon him the rebuke OF that mighty evan
gelist; whereupon his mails grew heavy
with letters Of protest. One Of those

astray by the higher critics It is less

Lac claim ON nenutx.

From the standpoint OF civic beauty the
tree has a strong claim. The background
of foliage to we'll placed sculpture, the
softening influences OF leaves and trees
to stern stone facades, the play of light
and shadow on the pavements on hot sum-
mer days, the screening of the suns glare,
the chronicle of the seasons progress writ
ten in the trees, the home they form for
feathered songsters-all speak volumes for
the trees.
In Washington city there are $1,000 trees
on the streets and parks. all under tho
care of a commission. In Savannah e
special commission was appointed after g
devastating storm to restore tho trees.
They were considered as important as the
houses destroyed.
Paris, the artistic city Of the world, Is
noted for it's trees. Who that has wan
dered along its busy boulevards on a sum-
mer day has ever forgotten the graceful,
well kept trees that lend their cool shade
to even the busiest streets and spread their
branches in front of the most crowded
business emporiums? Every street of that
city more than sixty-five feet in width has
a line Of trees on each side. Some OF the
wider streets have strip of ground in the
middle planted with trees. There are more
than 100000 trees in the city and there is
an annual appropriation OF 100000 francs
for caring for them.

when the Maine blew Up.


Incidents of the war with Spain were be-
ing related the other evening at a session
OF the Soldiers union Of the First Con-
gregationai church, when Isaac N. Dolph,
who saw service on the high seas in 1898
under the command of Captain Sigsbee
on the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, related
a story as told by a son of Erin who was
on the Inflated battleship Maine when it
was blown up. The Inshman, who was
rated as one Of the best sailormen Of the
crew OF the Maine was suggested to relate
his thrilling experience at the time of the
explosion in Havana harbor. He was be-
fore an audience, and advancing to the
front Of the stage he bowed low and in a
faltering voice said:

his eldest son in st. Louis that the latter's
wife several days ago presented him with

were weighed and aggregated over two
tons. the biggest being 800 pounds.

Tree HospitaI In Paris.

Paris has a tree hospital" The French
regard the trees almost as humans and
1t must be admitted they know how To
care for them. The Inspector" Is really
doctor. He goes about ana examines
each tree along the streets He feels it's
pulse, as It were. When he finds one in
falling health he marks It for the hospital.
Workmen come along. dig up the invalid
and gently cart 1t away out of the city
and replant It where the sun and rain and
wind can get at It. There It is nursed
back to health and brought again to take
Its place along the beautiful avenues.
Trees in a city are great sanitary agents.
The foliage inhales carbonic acid and ex-
hales oxygen. 1t also inhales poisonous
gases generated by the decomposition Of
animal and vegetable matter. In winter
the trees actually radiate warmth.
Information as to what trees to plant
can be obtained from the park commits
