The Jewel Of Forgiveness.

Nothing is more moving to man
than the spectacle of reconciliation:
our weaknesses are thus indemnified
and are not too costly. being the
price we pay for the hour of forgive
ness; and the archangel who has
never felt anger has reason to envy
the man who subdues II. When thou
forgivest, the man who has pierced
thy heart stands to thee in the rela.
tion of the sea-worm that perforates
the shell of the mussel. which
straightway closes the wound with n
pearl.-Richter.

Company A Wins Flag.

The annual competitive drill of the
two companies composing the bat
talon of cadets, st. Johns College.
took place yesterday afternoon and
was won by Company A, commanded
by John i. Harrison, of Baltimore.
The battalion has reached a high de-
gree of efficiency during the last few
years under the command of Major
William A. Thompson, L. s. A., the
commandant. The judges were Cap
tain III. G. .Reisenger and Lieutenant
Harold III. Utley, of the Marine Corps.
The drills held in competition en-
braeed both close and extended order
and were SO finely and evenly execut-
ed that Captain Reisenger, of the Ma
rine Corps, was compelled TO make his
decision on but a shade of differ
eDce. The lines held the obliques and
the platoon movements were .ali well
done and Captain Alton Arnold, of
Company b Unanswered his men in
good style. The only comparison of
the two companies which was unfa-
vorable to Company b was the OBJ
liques in the rear rank.
Company A did fine work and we'll
merited the prize for which both COM
panies drilled their best.

ABOUT THE AGE OF TREES.
Oldest in Rings Formed by
Annual Growth an 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-
ton: on this occasion with re
yised" claim to the age of 1000
years.
1t has been repeatedly visited and
described, and there can be no doubt
as TO its being tree of patriarchial
generability. But the subject OF its
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 lit
tie startling. The facility with
which this result has been attained
is, however, eminently characteris-
tic. In a recent account of the tree
attention is called TO suggestion or
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 it can only be soberly
regarded as a 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 Caphyoe, In
Arcadia, is thought to ba tse idan-
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 to
look TO the German Forestry De-
partment for some of the most care?
fully ascertained facts and deduc-
lions. 1t is the opinion of those best
qualified to Judge that there is no
European tree which can be proved
10 be older than 500 years, and that
no tree in Germany attains that age
In a healthy state. The rings formed
hv the annaul growth of exogenous
trees are, Of course, the best evil
dence of their age. but this is only to
be obtained before decays effacing
fingers have obliterated the record.
Documentary evidence of the ex-
istence of a specified tree at a re-
mote date is not necessarily conclu-
giye. Trees are often thus referred
to as acknowledged boundary marks,
which seems to invest them with an
authenticity which they do not really
possess. 1t is not a question of the
truth of the record, but 1t is a fact
that young trees have not seldom
been planted on the sites occupied by
famous predecessors and, standing,
as 1T were, 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 a stone which was
itself restored in 1S41.
