THE MONTEREY CYPRESS.
Found In Its Wild State In Only Two
Spots In the World.

Found In Its Wild State In Only Two
epots In the World.
One Of the most interesting and pic
turesque trees in the world. as well as
one of the most ancient. Is the Cupres-
sus macracarps, or Monterey cypress.
Its native habitat is extremely restrict
ed, for 1t is found In It's wild state In
only two spots In the whole wide world
on the edge Of grove Of conifers
stretching for a few miles between
the bay Of Monterey and the bay Of
Carmel the latter Of which bears a
striking resemblance in outline and
color to its prototype in the Holy Land
and In similar spot near PescaderO, q
little town lying on the coast between
Monterey and San Francisco. The
Monterey grove consists OF only doz-
en- or two expresses Of large size and
most striking appearance. Their trunks
are massive and wrinkled with hoary
age, while their boughs. gnarled and
twisted, grow chiefly on one side away
from the stormy winds that have buf.
feted them for thousands Of years. The
noble trees are limited to the rocky
wind beaten shore, on which some Of
them have but a precarious hold.
Hemmed between the slowly encroach.
ing ocean on one hand and pine for.
est on the other, their future Is ex.
posed to great hazard. 1t is therefore
gratifying to observe that fair num-
Der Of thrifty young expresses are
holding their own against the pines fer

The Mend,cant,

There aro those who ascribe the
word "mendicant" to the silly appella
ton put forth as conundrum. neal
ing poor wretch beyond the power OF
mending. But something very close Il
the term was in use as long ago a.
when Chaucer wrote his 'Canterbur!
Tales" In the "Sompnoures Tale
this occurs:
Therefore we "mendiants." we sely freres.
Ben welded to poverte and confluence,
To charitee humblesse and abstinence
etc.
The ''sompnoure" Of Chaucer was, OF
course, summoner. or apparitor. and
a person Of low estate. and here we
have, 1t is believed, the origin Of tt
word. which came into common EN-.
ployment later.

Ward Law Sustained by Supreme
Court of Virginia

The Supreme Court of Virginia,
sitting in Richmond Thursday,
handed down an opinion in the
celebrated Frederick sburg local
option case, in which the Corpora
tion Court, of the city of Fredericks'
burg, is reversed and the Ward
act, under which the election was
held, is declared constitutional.
The opinion was written by
Judge Keith, president of the
court, and was concurred in by all
of the other judges except Judge
Harrison. The opinion contains
nearly six thousand words.
The dec,sIon affects not only the
city of fredericksburg and makes
that city dry, but it also decides
the questions raised in the cities of
Roanoke, Lynchburg, Bristol,
Suffolk and other places which
have voted "dry," and in some of
which the result wac attacked
along the same lines as the Fred.
ericksburg case, and all of which
are involved and are affected by
the opinion of the court.
The legality of the election in
the case at bar wac attacked on the
ground that some of the petitioners
for the election, and come of the
voters who participated in the
election, were not qualified to
exercise the right of suffrage, hav-
ing failed to qualify" by paying
their poll taxes six months prior
to the regular election next sue
ceeding the special election. The
Ward act permitted voters who !
bad paid their poll taxes but not
six months prior to the regular
election, to participate in local
option elections--as to closing Of
saloons, issuing bonds for road and
schools, and the like. No person
could vote, however, who had not
paid his taxes, the exception in
the case being it's application to
purely local contests.
1t is held that the qualifications
prescribed by the constitution for
voters apply to elections held for
mem bers of the General Assembly,
and all officers elected by the peo-
pie, and that this provision does
lot prevent the Legislature from
prescribing the qualifications for
IN electorate in special elections
'or which the constitution does
lot provide.

Scribner's Magazine for Month
of April

The April number of Scribner's
Magazine is made notable by the first
instalment OF General Sherman's
Letters Home" 1t is more than thirty
years since his Memoirs we're publish
ed; no important addition to Sherman
literature was made until five years
ago, when the life long correspond
ence between the General and his
brother, the Senator, was published.
The last important ligh5 to be shed on
his career is In this present intimate
correspondence between General Sher-
man and his wife, Ellen Ewing. who
was his boyhood's friend. M. A. De-
Wolfe Howe has selected and arranged
the most important of these for the
Magazine in such way that the sig
nificant and most human characters
tics OF the General appear The letters
beginin 1859 when Sherman went South
to take the head of Military Academy
in Louisiana.
The anonymous papers on Eng.
land and the English from an Ameri-
can Point of View" have attracted the
widest curiosity and comment. In
this number the author pictures the
charms of can English Country Town"
Of about 6, ZOO inhabitants, as compared
with similar town in this country.
The social difference and the political
attitude OF the people are well contrast
ed, and the ease of life in England is
pictured with rare appreciation.
Professor Laughlin very clearly
shows in his paper on Valuation Of
Railways" why 1t Is unfair that the
present cost of reproducing railway
system should be the basis of its valua-
ton for taxation, unless all other prop
city is taxed on the basis OF its tangible
value.
A panoramic view of a little-known
region vf the Northwest is given in
Agres ,Laut's account Of Fifteen
Hundred Miles Down the Saskatche-
wan." She made the journey In ca
noe, taking pictures by the way, and
the varied life of pioneer
country in the making.
In addition to Thomas Nelson
Pages absorbing serial, John Marvel,
there are the following
short stories:

by Jesse Lynch Williams-a very mod
ern story of a young wife who kept her
husband. ''s-- .s1aas
