NEW YORK CITY.

There is food enough wasted in New York city each day to feed a half mil lion persons.
 There are now being carried out in New York city new engineering works whose total cost is about $500, 900. This is more than three times as much as the Panama canal will cost.
 New Yorks oldest dealer in musical instruments says that there are more violins in the city bearing the name "Antonius Stradivarius" than the great Cremona fiddle maker ever had in his little shop.

THE PEAzEL TREE.
Its History as Told by the Rev. Jasper
 NapoIeon Pinekney.

It's History as Told by the Rev. Jasper NapoIeon Pinekney.
 The Rev Jasper Napoleon Pinckney of Punxsutawney parish used to boast that he could expound at sight any text in the Bible. Deacon Epaminon. das Johnson, who hated him, often tried to trip him. but without ever feazing him for a moment. A few Sundays ago he arose in meeting, dis played malicious grin and said:
 'Br'er Pinckney, will yo' be so kin an condescen'in', please, suh. as tuh expoun' untuh us de items an de sta; teestics ob de items tuh be foun' in de Fifty-seventh Psalm, las part O de eighth verse" k
 Br'er Pinckney glanced at the text without apprehension, for he had never read it before. Silently he conned these words: Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early" For a mo- ment he seemed puzzled. Then he pompously read the text aloud as fol- lows: Awake. peazle tree an harp: I myself will awake right early"
 Having paused long enough to let the words sink into the minds of his con. gregation. Br'er Pinckney repeated them and added this explanation:
 "My deah bruddern an sistuhs: King David wuz smaht man ~an' a pow'ful man, but he wuz also a terrible busy man. an he natter git up mighty early in de mawnin' foh tuh do his days wuk. des like all de rest un us 90 sinnuhs. Dem times he wuz of'n so terrible busy he couldn' play de harp 'ceppin' fus' ting in de mawnin.' vile de corn pone a-cookin' fo' breakfus', an las ting at night jus befo' he wint tuh bed. An on dem lattuh occasions, wen at las he hang de harp on de branch ob a mos magnificent peazel tree whut grew jus beside his bed room winduh - dem wuz extry fine trees. dem peazel trecs-he'd up n say: Awake. peazel tree an harp: myself will natter wake right early, COS I'm such busy man '"-Harper's Weekly.

THE LAND OF 0PHIR.
Where Was It-ln MashonaIand, South
 Arabia or India?

One of the most interesting and inn portant questions concerning Biblical sites perpetually invites research and consistently evades solution. Where Is the land of Ophir?" Dr. Karl Pe- ters at a public meeting in Berlin de- clared emphatically that this famous Biblical region is located between the Zambezi and LimpopO rivers. He told his German audience how he has dis covered many shafts of ancient gold mines, 800 temples, Qualifications and other ruins of Phoenician origin. Dr. Peters afiirms that coins unearthed in Mashonaland belong undoubtedly to the time of King Solomon. His opin- ion is that no other part of Africa could have exported the ivory, silver and precious stones which are record ed in the Bible as coming from Ophir.
 Against this theory. founded as it undoubtedly is on very plausible evil dence Bible students are still likely to maintain. on the testimony of Gene sis X. 20 that Ophir was a section of South Arabia. Here down to the time of Ezekiel the Phoenicians still land ed to procure gold and gems with which those famous sailors and mer- chants of the ancient world traded in many countries distant from their Syri- m shores.
 Many erudite writers have attempt ed to identify Sofala. on the east coast of Africa, with ophlr, while yet oth- CTS have located it in India. One of the most learned essays written on the subject is from the pen of Professor Hommel, who argued that the ancient land of gold was Arabia Felix.-Hom- iletic Review.

 "Ah" exclaimed her husband. Vow ! see how you happened to stick on Hawk. Go on; go on"'
 This Richard proceeded to do, giving a fuh account of his tribulations. but with such deep appreciation of their humorous side that the people most imposed upon could not find it In their hearts to be angry with him.

 The financier studied the floor in si- lence, making no reply till Richard presently touched his shoulder and spoke again.

A VALID OBJECTION
Young Sheridan's Ready Wit Saved
 Him a Birchinq.

linn birching.
 Richard Brinsley Sheridan early evinced genius for getting something for nothing and. seeing the door of the refectory had inadvertently been left unlocked, peeped in and saw a huge basket of grapes freshly gathered from the orchard.
 Stealthily closing the door and ap- preaching the grapes, he thus address ed them: ''I publish the banns of mar riage between Richard Brinsley Sheri- dan and these grapes. Is there any one to forbid the banns:" And. having no reply to his query, he proceeded to fill his breadbasket from the other bas- ket with great gustO. But retribution was to follow, for on the class being reassembieG the master called upon Richard Brinsley Sheridan to stand forth and joined with his name the ominous name of Walker, who was the dunce of the school and selected from his weight and size to mount the cul- prit upon his shoulders in order that the master might get a firm surface upon which to use the birch with ef- feet.
 Sheridan being duly mounted and appropriately denuded of superfuous raiment, the master thus addressed him: "I publish the banns of marriage between Richard Brinsley Sheridan and this birch. Is there any just cause or impeachment why these two parties should not be joined in holy matri- mony?'
 "Holdr' yalled Sheridan.
 "Well:" 8dfd the master.
 To which Sheridan said. "Why, sir, the parties are not agreed!'
 This being not only witty, but apt. as being a valid objection in point of law, Sheridan was requested to re- tire and restore himself to his former habiliments amid the uncomfortable laughter of all concerned. including the head master-Exchange

It's mighty easy to be real cocksure about something that isn't.
 The other day woman attending an affair at the Colonial club reported the loss of an expensive fur neckpiece that she had worn there that afternoon. Yes. she was sure she had lost it there. she said. because she remem- bered just where she had stood when she unfastened it. Several women with her also remembered noticing 1t when she came in. One of them re- called that she had admired 1t particu- larly. There wasn't much question that it was lost in some of the club rooms. But as the woman was about 10 start home q friend called her on the telephone and told her that she had left the fur at the friends home earlier in the day.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

The head disappeared the melan- choly lover departed, with a dazed and gloomy air, and Harriet and Richard were alone at last. For moment nei- their spoke; then he took her unresist- ing hand.
 Harriet" he whispered, and now his voice for the first time trembled-. Harriet, do you understand why I stopped to this deception? I tried to { tell you over and over again, but fear ed to lose you in the telling. would gladly have faced death a thousand times rather than deceive you. and yet-for you I did it. Did you know did you dream that was an Amerl- can"
 Harriet laughed.

 Richard took the frsil silk cord be- tween his thumb and finger, whirling the glass around his head in the man. her of lariat

 "The cowboy:" she finished. "I-I hoped you were.'
 God bless you for that"' he cried. And, now that you know, may I tell you again that have loved you, wor- shiped you. since that first sweet mo- ment when I pulled you from your pony and held you in my arms? May I tell you that never for moment have ceased to dream of you, want ing you as I wanted nothing else in the whole wide world?'
 "You-you didn't think that way at first" she smiled.
 
 Harriet hesitated, blushed and then went on:
 ''Well-you-you put me down on the grass, gave me that awful whisky then forgot all about me-to go after your-horrid cows"
 It was Richards turn to laugh.
 But, you see" he explained, Fit was duty that called me then. even as another duty calls me now. I'm afraid I must leave you to look after an Eng fish calf" He smiled at Harriet's look of blank astonishment and con tinued, with a laugh: Tt is all on &C., count of poor Woolsey Bills. thought he had helped to steal your diamonds, and I'm afraid locked the Cardinal up in the bathroom"
 'Oh, please hurry and let the poor thing out"' Miss Harriet pleaded when she fully realized the situation. But Richard for once determined to put pleasure even before so plain duty as releasing an innocent prisoner.
 ANO, uC "hlSlltitus want lnt promise of another prisoner first-a prisoner for life-for all time-and one who will never wish to get away. I love you," he pleaded. with all my strength and with all my soul. Dear est. will you be my prisoner?"
 She checked his extended hands and asked. with q mischievous smile:
 "Will-will you lock me up in the bathroom?'
 If you need it." he answered auda- ciously. But at other times I'll lock you in my heart. Darling, will you come?"
 Again he came toward her, and this time he would not be denied.
 'Yes,' murmured Harriet faintly.
 And Richard the Brazen came into his own.
