family and servants had gone out Of

The Wesley Oak.

The Wesley oak, according to the At
lanta (Ga.) Journal, stands on St ST.
mons island, less than a mile from
Fort Frederick 1t is 200 feet high.
and its cool shade rests like a bene-
diction over an area Of several acres.
According to local tradition, this tree
marks the exact spot on which the
Wesleys preached. Charles Wesley en-
gagged himself to Oglethorpe as private
secretary before leaving England. But
he afterward took orders and devoted
much of his time to preaching near
Frederick. From time to time John
Wesley came down from Savannah to
Join him. This famous oak stands at
the gateway to the churchyard Of
Christ church, and several generations
sleep within the Enclosure that it
guards. Moses hang down from its
limbs, and it is solemn and beautiful.

United States.

If you should hear some stranger
mention the United States are you pos
tive that you would know what he
meant? In the eastern part Of South
America the term United States" is
regarded as an unqualified designation
Of the republic of Brazil, while little
way to the north the term is taken to
refer to Venezuela. In almost all parts
Of the southern continent the mention
Of a country in the northern hemis-
phere called United States" is likely
to suggest Mexico, whose official title
Is Estados Unidos Mexicanos. There
are still those who speak Of the repub-
Lie Of Colombia as 1.-THE United States"

federal constitution was in force, from
1861 to 1856, it was called Estados

French Army Helmets,

There are sixD-four distinct opera
lions necessary in turning out one of
the plain steel helmets worn by French
soldiers. The first step Is stamping
sut disks from large sheets Of steel A
special machine Is used for this pur-
pose, exerting . pressure Of $50 tons
and capable Of cutting out 5000 steel
disks a day. Each disk Is placed un-
der a shaping machine, which presses
the disk into the form of a helmet with
q broad rim. Polishing and cutting
machines remove all irregularities In
the helmet, after which it has holes
punched In the crown, some for ven
tilation purposes, others for fastening
on the regimental crest. Each helmet
Is cleaned and dipped In a special mix
ture which makes it dull, inconspic-
uous bluish-gray. A lining and leath-
er chin straps are then fastened on,
and the helmet is complete.-Pearson's.

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root Of
all genuine growth in the individual,
and, exhibited in the lives of many, it
constitutes the true source Of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in its effects,
but help from within invariably invig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves, and where men are sub
jected to overguidance and overgov-
eminent the inevitable tendency Is to
render them comparatively helpless

desirable acquaintance we find several
good people worth knowing. You,
