Scene Of Deadly struaaIes.

1t is doubtful If there is any portion
Of the earth upon which there are so
many deadly struggles as upon the
earth around the trunk of tree. Up
on this small arena there are struggles
fierce and wild; here nature is red
in tooth and claw" When a tree is
small and tender, countless insects
come to feed upon it. Birds come to
il to devour these insects. Around
the tree daily are almost merciless
struggles for existence These death
struggles occur not only in the day
time, but in the night. Mice. rats and
rabbits destroy millions of young
trees. While at their deadly feast,
many a time have they been surprised
by hawks, and then they are at
banquet where they themselves are
eaten. The owl, the faithful night
watchman Of trees, often swoops down
at night, and as a result some little
tree is splashed with the blood of the
animal that came to feed upon it,

nUrHscHILDs ONE LARGE CLAN.
Remarkable Number Of Unions Pc
tween Cousins Belonging to Family.


The founder of the Rothschild fam
ily. Mayer Amschel of the Red Shield,
dying in 1912, exhorted his five sons,
engaged as loanmongers under him IN
Frankfort, Vienna, London, Paris and
Naples, not only to remain faithful to
the law Of Moses and stand ever
united. but to undertake nothing OF
importance without first consulting
their mother
Nathan, founder of the London
branch, also was SO convinced of the
business capacities of his wife, a
Cohen, that he not only left the huge
residue of his fortune at her disposal,
but, says the Ladies' Realm, added
instructions that his sons were to en-
gage in no undertaking Of moment
without her consent.
How far the instruction was OBJ
served one is not In a position to say,
but it is certain the Rothschilds have
done their best to live in family
unity, for from the Gentle point of
view the number that have married
cousins is appalling OF the five chill
dren of the great Nathan each mar
ried a cousin.
And, coming to contemporaries,
Lord Rothschild is the son of cousins
and the husband of a cousin. Re
turning to Nathan, the Sidonia of
"Coningsby," though his offspring
married cousins, a reaction followed
in the next generation, for three of his
granddaughters, two of whom have
been already named, married not only
out of the family, but out Of the
faith

While Great Britain may claim the
chief distinctions Of the maritime
world the largest single fleet carries
the red, white and black, and its
house flag is the Hamburg
Its 6S distinct services carry the
worlds commerce into and out of
nearly every important port of all
continents. If the entire fleet were
assembled in one harbor, II would pre-
sent an imposing array Of 100 ocean
steamers, eight others under construc-
tion. and 215 river steamers and har-
Dor craft--a total of 1888 vessels, with
a gross tonnage of nearly a million.
If this fleet were welded into one
mammoth steamer, it would be nearly
five miles long, more than a mile wide
and about a mile deep. To load it
with bales of cotton would require the
average yield of 100000 acres; it
could take the wheat crop of 5000, 900
acres, and half billion feet of lumber
would not fill it. This is the CONNER

TRUE MONUMENT TO DICKENS.
Found in His immortal Writings, Says
London Journal.

Whether a statue should be erected
to Dickens is the subject of an inter-
esting article in the London Spectator.
The writer in the course of his brows-
ing quotes from Micawber and says.
EVERY reader of Dickens, of course,
will be able to match his fayorite pas
sages against ours. The enthusiasm
with which such competitions are oft
en- conducted is the truest proof Of the
solace-we do not use too strong a.
word-which such memories bring in
time of vexation, dullness or grief. And
in them-whlcheve they may be-de-
tached as they are and properly should
be, but complete and memorable in
themselves, the true monument to
Dickens is to be found"
The monument to Dickens was
erected by himself. His characters
live forever. for they are human in
their nature, and we have all seen
them. One remembers more of David
Copperield, or Little Nell, or BarlSis,
or Little Dorrit, or Pegotty, or Sam
uel Weller, than Of the others, perhaps,
but where is there a reader of Dickens
who has not fixed in his memory at
least one of his characters?
