Moacow's Magic Grove.

The cyclone which ragged around
Moscow on June %. causing great loss
Of life and tremendous damage to prop.
erty, was a storm such as Is seldom
seen in Russia. At intervals hall Of
unusual size fell-some stones as large
a. a hens cgg-and the wind blew with
terrific force.
Almost the first that suffered was
the historical ANONYMOUSLY grove,
which eye witnesses say was leveled to
the ground as II by word Of command
This grove was called into being by
the Empress Anna. One day from her
balcony she remarked, What beau
uful spot--if only there was grove
here!'
Next morning on going to her win
dow she beheld grove. The Duke Of
Biron had given orders that In the
night all the trees in the neIghborhood
should be transplanted there.
So in a single night the ANONYMOUSLY
grove was planted. On June 20 1t was
destroyed in second.--London Mall.

The EuRlish Veldt.

The London papers tell many stories
about Dom Paul Kruger, most Of them
familiar, but there Is characteristic
one, which Is new, about his visit to
England. Americans travelling In Eng
land are eXasperated by the warning,
"Trespnssers will be prosecuted"
which confronts one everywhere In the
rural districts Of England. On one 90
casion during his visit Mr.. Kruger
said: THE houses In England are very
nne but ind no happiness on your
veldt. l 60 right away from London
and sit down under a tree on the veldt
to smoke, but before get two whiffs up
comes some one who says the land Is
bis and he does not want me there. No,
there is no freedom on your veldt."

The constant use Of pen point for
fourteen years, penknke eighteen
years, an ordinary indelible lead pencil
ave years and key ring nineteen
years to the ordinary person sounds
Incredible, but such Is the case With
Carl Burba, clerk in the general Gus
toms Office here.
Mr.. Burba, who was In the drug
business at New Hope for more than
ten years, Is now using constantly q
pen point be secured, second hand,
while In the drug business. and since
be has been at work for Uncle Sam he
has continued to use 1t, preferrlng 1t
to any other. During that time he has
worn out two penholders, but the point
Is still In the prime Of condition, kept
% by the care bestowed upon 1t by its
owner.
A fellow clerk was discussing the
matter Of care Of pens yesterday, when
Mr. Burba remarked that any pen or
article Of any kind would last for years
II given the proper care. To prove his
claim he drew from his pocket knife
which he had carried eighteen years.
The blades gave evidence Of numerous
whettings, but not gap or break
could be seen. The knife, Mr.. Burba
said, had done a full share of work
since he had owned 1t, and Is good for
many years yet.
After exhibiting the knife Mr.. Burba
drew forth key ring bearing the date
Of 1886. 1t is a souvenir Of the Louis
Vile exposition, was purchased as such
by Mr.. Burba during the festal occa.
sion and has aince done constant serv-
ice. Mr.. Burba has special pocket
for all these articles and they may al.
ways be found there. He says he new.
Or breaks the point from pencil, never
loans It but that he watches 1t closely
and sees to 1t that 1t does not get
away; never leaves the pencil, key ring
or knife lying on his desk, but replaces
them in their respective pockets when
not in use, and by such inviolate sys-
tenn and care he always has them
about him-Louisville Courier Journal
