St. Auoustine and His Flower


 St. Augustine of Hippo, the great doctor of the church, whose festival falls on Aug. 2S, is sadly neglected saint among modern ritualists and even occasionally confused with his name sake, who insulted the British bishops. Yet he is pronounced by Hooker with out any equaT and regarded by liar mack as ''the first modern man." He has been better honored in the floral world, for to him is dedicated the goldenrod, or woundwort (Solidago vir- ga-aurea). Old Gerard, with whom this was favorite remedy, tells us that goldenrod fetched a high price as a foreign herb until discovered grow ing near London. when the plant was neglected. He adds the caustic com ment, This verifieth our English prov erb. Far fetcht and dear boughte is best for ladies' or for fantastical phy- sitions." Before tobacco the golden rod also furnished snuff for our medi- aeval forefathers. - Westminster Ga xette.

SERVICE IN THE CABINET.
The Custom of Our Presidents In the
 Republics Early Days.

Republics Early Days.
 If President John Adams had been man of different temperament the GUS tom might have been established in the early years of the government of the United States of retaining the cab inet of one administration for service with its successor where that success sor succeeded to the political ideas of its predecessor. President Adams sought at first to retain through his administration the members of the cabinet of President Washington. h. deed. at that early period the status of cabinet officer was not exactly that of the present time, and in the the members of his official household he resorted to the strange step of re- moving his secretary of state, Timo- thy Pickering, and James McHenry, his secretary of war.
 President Jefferson of course took a new cabinet. President Madison con- tinued in his administration number of the cabinet officers of President Jefferson, and President Monroe held some of his predecessors. John Quincy Adams also continued to meet about his council board some of the advisers of James Monroe. but Andrew Jackson began his administration with an en- tirely new set of official counselors. He maintained also another set of ad- yisers, unofficial, who became known as the "kitchen cabinet"
 For some time the gentlemen who had acted respectively as secretary of the treasury, secretary of war, secre- tary of the navy. postmaster general and attorney general in the cabinet of President Jackson retained their seats under President Van Buren, but changes only awaited the passage of time.
 President William Henry Harrison's cabinet was brand new, and John Ty- Ter sought to keep it together after Harrison's death. but fin less than six months all had resigned except Dan iel Webster, the secretary of state. Presidents Polk, Taylor, Fillmore Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln each formed new cabinet.
 President Johnson's difficulties with certain members of the cabinet that existed at the death of President Lin- coin are well known. Since that pe- riod, when for the second time in Amer ican history the question of cabinet officers right to retain seat which the president wishes to have vacated came up for angry controversy. cabi- nets by mutual but tacit understand ing end with the Administrations Boston Globe.

A CHINESE STORY.
The Way a Mandarin's Wise Wife De-
 cided Baby Case.

Two women came before a mandarin in China, each of them protesting that she was the mother of little child they had brought with them. They were so eager and so positive that the mandarin was sorely puzzled. He re- tired to consult with his wife, who was wise and clever woman. whose opinion was held in great repute in the neighborhood. She requested five minutes in which to deliberate. At the end of that time she spoke, "Let the servants catch me large fish in the river, and let 1t be brought here alive" This was done. Bring me now the infant" she said, but leave the two women in the outer chamber" This was done too. Then the mandarin's wife caused the baby to be undressed and its clothes to be put on the fish. Carry the creature outside now and throw 1t into the river in the sight of the two women" The servant obeyed her orders. finging the fish into the water, where It rolled about and strug- gled, disgusted no doubt by the wrap pings in which 1t was swaddled. Without moments pause one of the women threw herself into the river with shriek. She must save her drowning child. Without doubt she is the true mother" she declared, and the mandarin's wife commanded that she should be rescued and the child given to her. And the mandarin nod ded his head and thought his wife the wisest woman in the Flowery King dom. Meanwhile the false woman crept away. She was found out in her imposture. and the mandarian's wife forgot all about her in the occupation of donnlng the little baby in the best silk she could find In her wardrobe Bystander.

COMEDY IN CRIME.
The London Urchin With the Bun

tH0 @oHuon SFSflH NFiin HG odH
 Down His Back. It has been matter so customary to look upon crime as tragedy and crimi- nals as tragedians that to aver that comedy is more frequently to be found fin crime than tragedy seems at first view paradoxical. Yet such is the case A little London urchin ran into q bakers shop and, placing halfpenny on the counter. asked nervously and timorously. Mister. lave you a 'alf- penny buster (bun)?"
 "Yes. my little man. Here is one quite hot"
 Thanks. mister Would you mind a-shovin' 1t down my back?' Down your back. my little man! Why down your back?" Cos, sir, I'm only little un, and if those chaps outside know I've a buster they'll take 1t, and am so 'un- gry. I am"
 Dear me. how wrong of them! Come round here, my little chap. There there, it is down your back" The boy ran of. In an instant an- other entered-a bigger boy "I say. mister, 'as a little boy just been in 'ere?"
 "Yes."
 And did e buy 'alfpenny buster" "Yes."
  "And did e arsk you to shove it down is back, as us big fellows would take it?'
 "Yes."
 "Yah! Where's your watch and chain? Els got 'em. Els just round the corner"
 Out rushed the baker. In trice the big boy collared the till and bolted. The shopman never saw the comic side of 1t all-London Strand Maga- zine.

 Take look at the wheatfeld that has been brought up to perfection as 1t stands, yellow as gold, with the sheen of the sea. billowing from sky line to sky line like m ocean of gold, where the wind touches the rippling wave crests with the tread of invisi- ble feet. In California, in Oregon, in Washington, in Dakota, In the Cana dian northwest, you may ride all day on horseback through the wheat6elds without break in the flow of yellow heavy headed grain-no fence lines. no meadow lands. no shade trees. no knobs and knolls and hills and hol- lows of grass or black earth through. From dawn till dark, from sunrise, in burst of fiery splendor over the prairie horizon. to sundown, when the crimson thing hangs like n huge shield of blood in the haze of heat twi- light. you may ride with naught to break the view between you and the horizon but wheat7-wheat. It is like the gold fields It goes to your head. You grow dizzy looking at 1t. You rub your eyes. Is 1t mirage? The bill lowing yellow waves seem to be breasting the very sky. You look up. The sky is there all right with the black mote of q meadow lark sailing the azure sea- He drops liquid notes of sheer mellow. music down on your head, does that meadow lark, and that gives you back your perspective. your sense of amazing reality. You are literally, absolutely. really, in the midst of sea of living gold. It is you and not the lark that is the mote. You begin to feel as if your special mote might be a beam that would get lost in in6nity if you stayed there long, and so you ride on and on. and some more on. and by and by come out of the league long, fenceless fields with an odor in your nostris that isn't ex- actly like incense-it's too fugitive, too fine, too sublimal of earth.
