~Old New York Tree

The Oldest tree in New York, OF
anywhere near the city, is probably
the famous tulip tree near the south
bank Of the Harlem ship canal, few
hundred yards from the Hudson
river. The foresters have estimated
its age at something near three CEN
turtles, but that guess may be some
what short of its true age, for the
trunk is far from symmetrical, and
had been subjected to hard usage be-
fore the park department repaired it's
burned and rotted interior and put
an iron fence around it to keep van
dals at distance.

Babies Burdened With Names.

1t begins to look as If the same per.
son who used to christen the Pullman
sleepers has taken up his residence in
this city and is now naming war ba-
bies. A glance at the vital statistics
records shows that some Of the girl
babies are going through life burdened
with Christian names that will compel
the growing generation to give consid-
cradle time and study to pronounce
them. All Of which recalls the words
OF General Sherman.-New York Sun.

THE SOLDIERS MAIL
Bv Harvey O'Higgins,

| by harvey ~ AHSSA~s
Associate Chairman, Committee OF
I! Public Information.
/. The mail service for our army
abroad has now been taken over by
the army. 1t is handling a million
letters a day that are received IN
France from this country, and about
100000 letters day that are mailed
in France for soldiers in France. II
has warehouses for sorting mail at
French ports. It has railway mail
clerks on some 1000 miles of French
railroads. It has a central postoffice
at Tours, permanent postoffices at
various points, mobile postoffices
right up to the firing lines, and mail
orderlies attached to each company
Of troops.
In the past, when the mail service
for the army was under civil control,
great delays were caused in the de-
livery Of mail by the necessary Sec
recy concerning troop movements.
Now, under military control, all
movements of the mobile postoffices
are telegraphed in code to the dis
tributing postoffices and the letters
follow the soldiers as they march.
All the hospitals notify the central
post office Of the identity of wound
ed soldiers received or transferred.
The central postosfice works with
the control Record Division Of the
Adjutant Generals office where
every soldier in the army is card
indexed, and Is men are there con-
stantly employed searching out ad-
dresses. A system has been devised
by which delivery may be quickened
to Replacement unitsi' who have
been scattered among widely sepa-
rated troops. And various means
have been found for overcoming de-
lays due to lack Of shipping facilities
or congestion of mail at crowded
posts.
1t still remains true that mail for
some $4,000 soldiers in France is de-
aged because the letters are made
luately addressed. In the future all
uch letters will be stopped at New
York and returned to their senders.
t is estimated that 100000 letters
month have been delayed in the |
,ast because the men were in ere
'lacement units" This "foater's |
nail" is now being handled expedit-
ously. The delay due to censorship |
) not great and it is being reduced.
The army authorities are aware
hat nothing sustains the morale of
older like letters from home. The
lobile postoffices now keep up with
he troops; the mail is received with
ne rations at the kitchen; and the
hole recognized postal service is
evoted to providing that the dough
oy's letters shall reach him as
and regularly as his meals.

Why the ssVon,n

"Von" before q name In German de-
notes a privilege title, either inherited
or bestowed by a monarch upon his
subject for meritorious services. While
formally this prefix was found in mill
tary or feudal families only, many
commoners, captains Of industry. sci
entists, financiers and artists were so
honored by their monarchs. The title
is either hereditary or ceases with the
death of the distinguished person.

Seeking Beauty,

: Girls are natural beauty lovers. The
thought girls give to their dress and
the pride they take in whatever Is
pretty and becoming, proves that. But
the girl who loves beauty must be
careful not to put higher estimate OH
the beauty Of bright eyes than on
that Of a sweet soul. Do not value
the sheen Of silk above the charm Of
kindly speech. In seeking beaury, do
not lose sight Of the beauty which Is
the highest of all.

Wars GLORY.

War, like all other situations OF
danger and Of change. calls forth the
exertion Of admirable intellectual quail

BY dwelling on these, and keeping out
of sight the sufferihgs and sorrows.
and all the crimes and evils that fol-
low in its train. that It has its glory
In the eyes Of men.-Bryant.
