Vegetables and Fruits.

The term vegetable has reference
to the whole or any part of a plant
cultivated especially with reference
to use at the table. Bat the use OF
the word vegetable doesn't always
depend upon cooking. for celery Is a
vegetable and apples are fruit
whether eaten raw or cooked. One
would suppose the tomato 10 be en-
titled to the term fruit. for the meth
cd of it's raising resembles that Of
fruit. But it is usually called yege-
table whether eaten raw or cooked.
in spite of its appearance. The ounce
is so fruitlike In appearance-so re-
sembling apples. pears. etc.-that It
persists in being called fruit. though
eaten only when cooked Sometimes
the vegetable is only a bud as with
cabbages and brussels sprouts, leaves
as spinach, stems above ground as
asparagus. stems enlarged ttubers)
underground as common potatoes, or
roots as sweet potatoes, turnips,
beets, and eaFFots.-St Nicholas.

pritou,s Love for Ruling Glass.

The presence of personal sover-
eign is the outward and visible sign
that caste is still supreme in the
British empire. The external abuses
of the feudal system have been abol-
ished in Great Britain, one by one,
until those that still finger are al
most harmless, but the inner spirit
survives to this late day, and even
now it's manifestations are abundant
in almost every part of the social
structure of the British Isles. There
are still alive the fiction that the King
rules and that the army OF the en-
pire is his majesty's army There Is
still willing acceptance OF titled
aristocracy and also of an upper
house, the vast majority OF whose
me lbers sit there by the right OF
birth only, without regard to their
individual merits No doubt the Brit
ish people could change these things
speedily and without violence IL they
really desired to, get rid of this in
heritanee from feudalism. But they
have not got rid OF It, and this IS eyi-
dence enough that they do not wish
to abolish state of affairs which the
American people look at with amazed
wonder as a survival of the dark
ages. A native American finds 1t
wholly impossible to understand tho
mental attitude of certain man OF
letters in London, who justified his
ingrained toryism by the assertion
that he simply would not be ruled

Europe has sold or liqudated its Am
erican stocks and bonds and the other
governmental and railroad securities
Of the continent during many months
past. Certainly, sooner or later. this
should produce an accumulation Of
money seeking investment. The reas-
ons many investors of the larger type
do not buy bonds is that they had eth

have been compelled to take them up

that they still think there are com
panies with ample security to get a

are therefore buying or have brought
into the better class of railroad and
industrial securities and they will not
sell these until the return increment
is about on a parity with some Of the

for they, the bankers, like the large

Stocks are generally net down in

healthy reaction and this affords
many people. especially the general
public an opportunity to put money

capacity of the railroads take care of
the future. Optimism is now in order.

ABOUT THE AGE OF TREES.
Oldest In Europc--iiings Formed by
Annual Growth an Evidence.

Annual Growth nm Evidence.
There are few questions OF nat
ural history more interesting or on
which Imagination allows Itself more
faraway flights than the ages OF
trees. The famous plane In the
Aegena island of Cos. which has been
the wonder and admiration OF cen
turtles, has again challenged atten-
tion. on this occasion with re
vised" claim to the age OF 1000
years
1t has been repeatedly visited and
described, and there can be no doubt
as to Its being a tree Of patriarchial
venerability But the subject OF It's
age has so often been dismissed with
the estimate that 1t must be "at
least thousand years old" that the
addition Of another thousand Is a lit
tie startling. The facility with
which this result has been attained
is, however, eminently characters
tic. In q recent account OF the tree
attention is called to a suggestion OF
the late Dean Farrar that both st.
Luke and st. Paul had probably
rested beneath its shade. The idea
Is highly picturesque, says the Lon
don Globe, but ii can only be soberly
regarded as piece of effective local
color.
This, however, Is by no means the
only tree Of its kind which has been
similarly endowed with a fancy age.
The famous plane near Capfyoe, IN
Arcadia, Is thought to be N iden-
teal tree referred to by Pausanias
In the second century; and another
near Constantinople Is considered of
equal age OF course these trees be-
long to the Oriental branch OF the
great Platanus family, the planes
with which Londoners are so pleas
antly familiar being all of the West
ern species
On such a subject we have still 10

partment for some of the most care?
fully ascertained facts and decuc-
tons. 1t ID the opinion OF those best
qualified to Judge that there Is no
European tree which can be proved
to be older than 500 years, and that
no tree In Germany attains that age
In healthy state. The rings formed
nv the annaul growth of exogfnous
trees are, of course, the best evil
dence of their age, but this Is only 10
be obtained before decays eifacing
fingers have obIiterated the record
Documentary evidence of the ex-
istence of a specified tree at a re-
mote date Is not necessarily conciu-
siye. Trees are often thus referred
to as acknowledged boundary marks,
which seems to invest thcm with an
authenticity which they do not really
possess. II Is not a question OF the
truth Of the record, but il is a fact
that young trees have NOT seldom
been planted on the sites occupied by
famous predecessors and, standing,
as 1t we're, in their shoes, have come
to be taken for them.
A good illustration of such pos
sibility is afforded by the Rufus
Stone in the New Forest. AS its
name implies and its inscription rec
ords, this stone was erected on the
SPOT formerly covered by the oak
from which the arrow which slew
William Rufus Is said to have
glanced, This tree In an advanced
state of decay, was in existence in
the eighteenth century, but was re-
placed in 1745 by stone which was
itself restored in 1871.

To Visit African Wilds.

PHILADELPHIA, August 16.-An an
nouncement was made that Mr. and Mrs.
Percy Madeira will forego the pleasures of
the coming social season for "a trip to the
wilds of South Africa. BY way of the In
dian ocean. which means twenty-one
days trip. Mr.. and Mrs Madeira will leave
in the latter part of October and their
nlans now are TO remain in the wilds during
the entire winter. To Mrs. Madeira is ac-
corded the distinction of being the first
American woman to attempt such an expe-
dition. although several prominent women
of England have accompanied their hus-
hands on similar ones and have returned
with glowing accounts of their life there.
IT Is now limited that one or two other
members of Philadelphia society are consid-
erng similar journeys.
Mrs Madeira is enthusiastic over the
prospect OF this novel experience and de-
cided change from the winters routine of
balls dinners and general entertaining.
