On Literary STYLE.

No man can be supremacy eloquent
In laconics. You cannot expresA the
rising and the expanding an: the
sweep and the circling Of eloquent
feeling In Z style resembling that
which seamen call 4 "chopping sea."
For such thinking you must have at
command style Of which an oceanic
ground swell or the Gothic inter.
weaving of forest trees Is the more
becoming symbol. In the constructions
OF such a style, you must use con-
nective words, links deliberately forged,
inserted in the right joints Of style,
to make them flexible without loss Of
compactness. One word Of such ex-
act connective force in the right place.
with the right surroundings before
and after may make all the difference
between the disjointed and the linked
style.-Austin Phelps.

Enemies Of Olive Tree

Like other fruit trees. the olive tree
has many enemies tn contend with
BESIDES the birds. there are numerous
insects which attack the fruit. the
wood. and the leaves The most
dreaded OF these is a small tiy called
Dacus eieae. which is about half the
size Of common house fly. The
female has sting like wasp with
which she punctnreS the fruit where
she deposits her eggs. 1t is calculated
that single fly will thus destroy

No TWO Alike.

OF course everybody has wondered
some time or other, at the astounding
fact that there are no two persons OK,
actly alike among all the countless
millions Of people that inhahit the
earth. But, have you ever stopped to
wonder at the also fact that of all the
millions of women's hats there are in
the world, you nor anybody else have
even seen any two Of them exactly

Green Always Restful,

Green is restful color. Oculists
say that of all colors green Is the most
friendly to the optic nerve. In lands
where eternal SHOWS or eternal white
sands flash up their glazing reflections,
men have to shade their eyes or go
blind. But green grass never bothers
the eye. One can stare a forest in the
face all day with impunity. Natures
green's never get on our nerves, and
they never~quarrel with any other Of

but in vain The loss of her husband

resolved to bring up her little daughter
In ignorance Of her fathers fate; and
when In two years she died, she left

Manette for many years had intrusted

was accomplished at last.

who, first noticing the extraordinary

himself rescued Charles Darnay from
the web of deceit which had been spun
around him.
Between these two young men, the
striking resemblance was in outward

of noble birth; but his ancestors had
for many years so cruelty oppressed
