STRONG TOMB RENT BY TREE,
Striking Instance Of the Great Power
Of Vegetation.

A correspondence calls attention to
q curious instance Of the mechanical
power of vegetation in the out-of-the-
way churchyard Of Tewin, in Hartford
shire.
A tree, which has been divided into
two or three main stems Crews
straight out of the tomb Of a noble
dame who departed this life over two
centuries ago, and has rent her gloomy
home into pieces. Strangest sight OF
all, 1t has wrapped itself round the
iron railing which used to guard the
grave, and which is thus now almost
entirely concealed inside the tree.
People come from far and near to
see the wonderful sight: and to them
is told q story that the quiet inhabS
tant Of this disrupted sepulcher was in
her day q lady Of very free thinking
opinions, and had said she would have
placed above her remains tomb that
no person could read.-The Scotsman

prIvats Eorestrx In EnaIand.

Everywhere in England you see pri.
vate forests planted for profit. Eng
land first won her naval supremacy In
ships built of English oak trees which
were practically planted for the pur-
pose on private estates. Public or
state forestry hardly exists In EMS
land Here we commonly think that
forestry concerns the government
only. A few Americans will plant ca
tAlpa, locust, or some other tree crop
that natures in seven to fifteen years
but when the passion for enduring
things becomes a national trait with
US we will plant oaks and other spe
cies that require hundred years OF
more to mature. Meanwhile, the Blu
reau OF forestry at Washington has .
plan for cooperating with anyone whc
has a forest in which profit is the chief
consideration.-Gar Magazine.

BOYLE'S TRIAL POSTPONED
kldnaper Of "6iIIy" WhltIa Collapsed
When Case Is Postponed Until
Next "Wednesday.

Mercer, Pa, May 1.--James H.
Boyle, whose trial on a charge of
kidnapping BILLY" Whitla was con-
tinued until next Wednesday, col.
lapsed in the Mercer jail and is said
to be In a critical condition. Boyle's
system has been weakened by inability
to hold anything on his stomach and
the postponement Of his trial Friday
had a bad effect.
The reasons given for the continu-
ance were the illness of the wife Of w.
S. Anderson, attorney for the defense,
and the mysterious disappearance OF
the original information against
Boyle. But there is a prevalent be
lief among the people here that neither
side is anxious for an immediate
trial. The members Of the Whitla
family are greatly displeased because
Of the postponement.

pEcuLIAa ApsrAL 10 HEAVEN.
Ceremonial Observed by Chinese
When Rain Is Desired.

Prayers for rain are a common fea-
ture OF religious observance In China,
and the attendant ceremonial some.
times takes strange forms. A CORE
spondent Of the North China Herald
reports a curious celebration which
recently took place in Chenyuan. The
orthodox three days fast was pro
claimed, and the oficlals went to the
temples to present incense, while the
people organized procession with a
plenitude OF gongs and drums. AS the
professionals passed along the street
they we're drenched with water by the
residents, who had tubs in readiness
But the great popularity Of the occa
sion was dog. He was tied sitting III
in a common chair with an old gar
ment round his shoulders and an old
big mans hat on his head. He got
a double share Of the water along the
route and seemed to have entirely ex
hausted the glory and the fun of his
position. The explanation Of the cere
mony was this. Among the domestic
animals the dog is placed lowest. But
the people in their attempt to move
the pity Of heaven said in effect: We
will put ourselves lower than the dog
we will give him the honor Of riding ir
state as our master, If only you will
give us rain" The correspondent
adds that rain fell before sunset.

IcELANDlo FORM OF PEDIGREE.
Simple But Effective Manner Of Keep
inc the ReeOru.

The inhabitants Of Iceland have kept
their pedigrees in q jealous way. Num-
bers of them can trace their descent
from the Vikings whS emigrated from
Norway to IcoIaad in the Aintk cen
tury. Unlike many other countries,
there have never been really any no
bles in this island, the nation having
ever been a republic in spirit Conse-
quent upon the smallness Of the popu-
lation there has been a considerable
amount of inbreeding, and all Iceland
ers seem to be cousins. There Is an
old Icelandlc adage which translated
into English reads: Cousins are worst
to cousins" The most curious circum-
stance in this connection is that there
are scarcely any surnames, as known
on the American continent. As a dis
tinctiVe mark an Icelander places his
fathers Christian name after his own
Christian name, adding to the former
'sson," which signifies "the son OF"
and this is continued from generation
TO generation. An Icelandic pedigree
reads az follows: Thorstein Az
giersson, Sigurd ThorSteinsson, Einar
SiEurdsson, BaIdur Einarsson, Thor"
stein Baldursson, Hafstein Thor
pteinsson, and so on.
