PRESENTIME TENTS.
Incidents In Which Coming Events
Cast Their Shadows Before.


Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore them. The writer Is led to be-
lieve this because several incidents In
the lives Of his parents corroborate
the theory that presentiments OF good
and evil do come to persons unawares.
/ will mention two Of them.
In the summer Of 1877 my father
late ut night was returning to his farm
from the little town Of Nation. He
had stayed unusually late. When he
reached the farm all was quiet. Re-
moving the harness from his horse, he
proceeded to the carriage house and
hung 1t In Its place.
He came out and closed the door. AS
he did SO he heard the harness fall. 1t
was very dark. He went back into the
house and found the harness still hang
ing in its place. The same occurrence
took place again. He went back again
and found it in its place.
When the third time he heard the
sound of falling harness he did not
go back.
Several weeks later his barn burned,
and it happened that the same har-
ness was in the barn loft, valuable
set. He attempted to save it. The
staircase burned behind him, and he
was compelled to jump for his life
from a window. His previous expert
ence came to him vividly. He saved
the harness. but Mt the risk of his life.
Another vivid incident I recall was
my mother sitting by the fire with a
sick baby. The nurse was present,
too, and both were wide awake. Her
father appeared to her and advised her
as to the baby's treatment and other
family matters. He vanished as quick
ly as he had come. The next day she
heard Of his death.-London Tit-Bits.

cCedingly when | receive n letter with

Yet as rarely make use of my pieces

Apropos of this subject, | remember
clergyman once telling me about an
aunt of his who in her cagerness that
nothing should be wasted insisted upon

THE MONTEREY CYPRESS,
Found In Its Wild State In Only Two
Spots 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.
It's native habitat is extremely restrict
ed, for II Is found I'm its wild state In
only two spots In the whole wide world
on the edge Of a grove Of conifers
stretching for few miles between
the bay Of Monterey and the bay Of
Carmel Uhe latter Of which bears a
striking resemblance In outline and
color to its prototype in the Holy Land
and In q similar spot near Pescadero, a
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
nge, while their boughs. gnarled and
twisted. grow chiefly on one side away
from the stormy winds that have buff
feted them for thousands Of years. The
noble trees are limited to the rocky
wind beaten shore, on which some Of
them have but q 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-
ber Of thrifty young Expresses are
holding their own against the pines for
short distance inland. Scientific
