The Uru ef the Knights Teapiar. The originators of it were two young French Knights of itoble birth, Hugh de Payens and Godfrey of St. Omer. They found seven others ready to join them, all like themselves of high rank, who had von their spars in the battlefield. They called themselves poor brothers in Christ. They devoted themselves to Christ's service and his mother's. They took tows in the presence of the Patriarch, tows of the usual kind, to cot themselves off from all worldly interests ; the tow of poverty, the tow of chastity, the tow of absolute obedience to the Patriarch, and to the one among them whom they shonld choose as their head. Thus organized, they took the field as mounted police on the pilgrim's road. The palace of the Latin kings was on the site of Solomon's Temple. A wing of it wss set apart as a pilgrims' home,' and as the home and station of their guards The knights had their suites of rooms, with appointments for their horses and servants, and it was from this that they took their name as Brothers of the Order of the Temple. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was their chapeL They had a Gothic hall with lances in rank, and suits of armor banging on the walls, and long swords, and crossbows, and battle-axes very strange objects in the Temple of Jerusalem, almost as strange as the imaginary Gothic castle 5n the mountains above Sparta to which Faust and Mephistopheles transported Helen of Troy. It was here and thna as the Knights Templar, who were so goon to fill a largo place in the world, began their existence nine young gentlemen 'whose sole object in life was to escort pious soak to the scene of Christ's snffering8 and resurrection. So much belief was able to do. Their life was spent in fighting.

The old proverb says: "People who lire in glass honses should not throw stones;" but among the marvels of modern mechanical invention is a glass bouse in which von can throw stones, if

you have a penchant for that kind of

exercise. It seems the root lor mating glass has been greatly reduced of late years, so that it is possible to furnish huge blocks of white or colored glass for. about the same price as ordinary granite. Nor would the blocks be in the rough, bnt would be furnished in pillars, in highly ornamented and beautiful designs. A glass house would

be more durable than one of stone,

while it conld be made as resplendent

as the dream of Knbla Khan, whose

marvelous mansion is described in Coleridge's poem, whore "Aiph, the acred river, ran down to the sunless sen." Glass, it is found, can be made Jour times stronger than granite, and

can be supplied in immense Mocks,

highly ornamented and in different colors, for about the same cost. There is no difficulty in cemonting the blocks together, as sand can be fused so as to make the joinings as durable as my part of the structure. Glass ean be made ductile, and even elastic, for balls are made of it which will rebound from the floor. Its uses are extending. It is employed in a hundred ways not thought of a century ago. It is replacing wood as ties for railroads Scientists predict the time will come when the wealthy- will lire in glass houses, sit on glass chairs, rtcline on glass couches, and array themselves is glass oannents.

would be voluntarily ealled to the settlement of controversies of less extent and not necessarily within the domain of Federal regulation. X am of the opinion that this suggestion is worthy the attention of Congress. But after all has been done by the passage of laws, either Federal or State, to roliovo a situation lull of solicitude, much-more remains to bo aoccnlished by tho reinstatement and onltiv. turn of a true American sentiment, which recognises thewquality of American citizenship. This, in tho light of our traditions and in loyalty to the spirit of oar institutions, would toaeh that a hearty co-operation on the part of all interests is the surest path to national greatness and the happiness of all our people ; that capital shonld. in recognition of the brotherhood of onr citizenship, and in n spirit of American fairness, generously accord to labor its Just compensation and consideration, and that contented labor is capital's best protection and faithful ally. It would teach, too, that the diverse situations of our peoplo are inseparable from our civilization; that every oitisen should, in his sphere, be a contributor to the general good ; that capital does not necessarily tend to the oppression of labor, and that violent disturbances and disorders alienate from their promoters true American sympathy and kindly feeling. THE -HIUCUI-TURAI, BUREAU The Department of Agriculture, reprosont'ng the oldest and largest of our industries, is subserving well the purpose of its organization. By the introduction of new subjects of farming enterprise, and by opening new sources of agricultural wealth and the dissemination of early information concerning production and prices, it has contributed largely to tho country's prosperity. Through this agoncy, advanoed thought and investigation touching the subjects it has in charge, should, among other things, bo practically applied to tbo home production, at a low cost, of articles of food which are now imported from abroad. Such an innovation will necessarily, of course, in the beginning, be within the domain of intelligent experiments, and the subject in every stage should receive all possible encouragement from the Government- The interests of millions of our ciUzensengaged In agriculture are Involved in an enlargement of the rosults of their labor ; and a zealous regard for their welfare should be a willing tribute to those whose productive returns axe a main source of our progress and power. CATTLE DISEASE. The existence of plenro-pneumonia among the cattle of various States has led to burdensome, and, in some cases, disastrous restrictions in an important branch of our commerce, threatening to affect the quantity and quality of our food supply. This is a matter of such importance, and of sueh far-reaching consequences, that I hope it will engage tho serious attontion of the Congress to the end that such a remedy may be applied as to the limits of a constitutional delegation of power to the General Government will permit. I commend to the consideration of the Congress the report of the Commissioner, and his suggestions conoerning the interests intrusted to his oare. CXVnV-SEBVICE REFORM, The continued operation of tho law relating to onr civil service has added to the most convincing proofs of its necessity and usof olness. It is a tact worthy of note that every public officer who has a just idea of his duty to the people testifies to the value of this reform. Its staneheat friends are found among those who understand it best, and its warmest supporters are those who are restrained and protected by its requirements. The meaning of such restraint and protection is not appreciated by those who want places under the Government, regardless of merit and efficiency, nor by those who insist that the selection for such places should rest upon a proper credential showing active partisan wort. They mean to public offlcors the only opportunity afforded them attend to public business, and they mean to the good people of the country the better performance of the work of their Government. It is exceedingly strange that the scope and nature of this reform are so little understood, and that so many things not included within its plan are called by its name. When cavil yields more fully to examination, the system will havo large additions to the number of its friends. Our civil service reform may be imperfect in some of its details ; it may be misunderstood and opposed; it may not always be faithfully applied ; its designs may sometimes miscarry through mistake or willful intent; it may sometimes tremble under the assaults of its enemies, or languish under the misguided zeal of impracticable friends, bnt if the people of this country ever submit to the banishment of its underlying principle from the operation of their Government, they will abandon the surest guarantee of the safety and success of American institutions, I invoke tor this reform the cheerful and ungrudging support of Congress. I renew my recommendation, made last year, that the Commissioners be made equal to other officers of the Government having like duties and responsibilities, and I hope that such reasonable appropriations may be made as will enable them to increase the usefulness of the cause they have charge of. fbesduan's BANK depositors. I desire to call the attention of the Congress to a plain duty which the Government owes to the depositors in the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company. This company was chartered by the Congress for the benefit of the most illiterate and humble of our people, and with the intention of encouraging them in industry and thrift. Most of the branches were presided over by officers holding the commissions and clothed in the uniform of the United States. These and other circumstances reasonably, I think, led these simple people to suppose that the invitation to deposit their hard-earned savings in this institution implied an understanding on the part of their Government Out their money should be safely sept for them. When this company failed it was liable In the sum of S2.933.925.22 to 61,131 depositors. Dividends amounting in the aggregate to 83 per cent, have been declared, and the sum called for and paid of sueh dividends seems to be tl, 613,181. 72. This sum, deducted from the entire amount of deposits, leaves $1,291,744.50 stUl unpaid. Past experience has shown that quite a large part of this sum will not be colleC for. There are assets still on hand amounting to the estimated sum of (16,000. I think the remaining thirty-eight per cent, of such of these deposits as have claimants should be paid by the Government upon principles of equity and fairness. The report of the Commissioners, soon to be laid before Congress, will give more satisfactory details on this subject; DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The control of the affairs of the District of Columbia having been placed in the hands of purely executive officers, while the Congress still retains all legislative authority relating to its government, it becomes my duty to make known the pressing needs of the District, and recommend their consideration. The laws of the District appear to be in an uncertain and unsatisfactory condition, and their codification or revision is much needed. During the past year one of the bridges leading from tho District to the State of Virginia became unfit for use and travel upon it was forbidden. This leads me to suggest that the improvement of all the bridges crossing the Potomac and its branches from the City of Washington is worthy of the attention of Congress. The Commissioners of tho District represent that the lawB regulating the sale of liquor and granting licenses therefor should be at once amended, and thai legislation is needed to consolidate,' define, and enlarge the scope and powers of the charitable, and penal institutions within the District. I suggest that the Commissioners be clothed with the power to make, within fixed limitations, police regulations. I believe this power granted and carefully guarded would tend to subserve the good order of the municipality. It seems that trouble still exists growing out of the occupation of the streets and avenues by certain railroads having their termini in the city. It is very important that such laws should be enacted upon this subject as will seoure to the railroads all the facilities they require for the transaction of their business, and at the same time protect citizens from injury to their persons or property. The Commlsloners again complain that the accommodations afforded them for the necessary offices for District business and fox the sole keeping of valuable books and papers, are entirely inefficient. I recommend that this condition of affairs be remedied by Congress, and that suitable quarters be furnished for the needs of the District Government, cokclusios. In conclusion, I earnestly invoke Buch wise action on the part of the people's legislators as will subserve the public good, and demonstrate, during fiie remaining days of the Congress as at present organized, its ability and inclination to so meet the people's needs that it shall be gratefully remembe red by an expectant constituency.

It Is Hard to Fight the Fates. The most peaceable and dangerous

in all this united states lives in

Murray County, Georgia. He is kindhearted, good-tempered, never had a quarrel in his life, wouldn't hurt a fly, and everybody is afraid of him. About a year ago he was cutting wood, when the ax flew off the handle and killed a man who had come to pay him $50; he never got a cent of the money. The next week, while ferrying a friend across a river, he ran the boat against a snag and his friend was drowned. About a month later he felled a tree on a stranger who was lying asleep in the woods, killing him instantly. Not long after he shot at a wild turkey and killed a neighbor whom he didn't see at alL Three weeks afterward he lighted a kerosene lamp, when it suddenly exploded, burning to death a colporteur to whom the inoffensive Georgian had courteously extended the hospitality of his home. His last pubIk; act was to cross the street with a ladder on his shoulder, last Fourth of July, while the procession was passing, and, when somebody shouted to him to "hurry on," he obligingly turned around and started back. The procession was laid out and the day spoiled. Suriette.

THE STYLES.

Some of the Very Latest Decrees of the World of Society.

A GLANCE AT THE FASHIONS.

Including Many of tho Minor Accessories Which Make or Mar Qlherwise Complete Toilets.

atones.

Black kid gloves promise to be in Tery general use for even the most dressy toilets. They are without ornament sae plain stitching, are very long and in mousquetaire style. There are elegant new gloves in pearl sliados with heavy block stitching, also pale straw and biscuit shades with black. While undressed kid gloves are preferred iu Paris to those that are finished, they do not obtain the same degree of favor here. Many ladies object seriously to the feeling of undressed kid and will not wear it under any circumstances. It does not retain its shape as well as dressed kid, and is not nearly so durable.

Bracelets. Bracelets aw shown in great variety and in soir 'e unique and elegant styles. All strictly fashionablo bracelets are either in n arrow flexible bauds or hoops of slender wire. There are no broad bands of rigid metal in the novelty cases, the genaral effect being light and delicate raf her than strong or durable, although as a matter of fact these slender bracelets are the more durable of the two styles. There arc somo very pretty checker-board patterns in emeralds and diamonds, also in rubies and diamonds. A choice bracelet shows a very large black pearl and a diamond, set one on each end of a hoop of gold. The ends pass each other so that-when on tho arm the two gems are side by side. A fine bracelet of beaten gold is sot with very large fresh-water raoarls.

Bonnets anil Hats. Nothing is more mysterious than a bonnet, snys tho New York Telegram. It is apparently so easy to construct, and yet the slightest turn of a fold or loop of ribbon will make or mar the effect While a preference is given some shapes, anything is fashionable, and the chief aim is to have something becoming. A very simple, yet pretty, bonnet is of black velvet. Two flat steel ornamenss completely cover the crown. A large fold of velvet, lined with (ray silk, is plaited against tho front, the ends forming wings. Tho strings are of heavy ribbon, of the shade of the silk, and are folded across the back. A large round felt hat has a double-faced brim, the under sido corresponding in color with the high peaked crown. To the right of the front three-inch ribbon is fastened with smll pearl-headed pins. From this point it is carried to the top of the crown on the left side, and made into a large bow, tho loops mingling with five heavy tips in shaded colors to match tho left. Jprons, Some of the dressy aprons of spotted China silk are made in a loose boxplait style of fold, with insertion of lace brougtt from the waist to end in a point a short distance from the edge, and have lace bibs finished with clusters of baby ribbons. Others are entirely formed of Valenciennes insertion, and have rows of ribbon descending in a series of loops on either side. In strong contrast to these are the introduction of the French house wife's apron, which, made in fine nainsook to entirely cover the dress skirt, is bordered by a broad hem and a few rows of small tucks. It has a sensible-looking pocket on one side, and a bib large enough to protect the front of the dress. If more ornament is desired it is supplied in another example. This has iiprays of flowers wrought in satin stitch which extend from the border to the sides of the skirt, and likewise appear in bouquets on the bib. Another adjunct claiming to be a novelty shows in material what we have all seen in paintings of a century ago. It is the entire trimming of a low bodice effected in point d'esprit and presents the full baby sleeve, with the shaped and gathered bertha and full stomacher fashionable when necks and arms were less covered than at present. Clusters of the narrowest gauze ribbon hold the trillings in place and supply a large rosette to the bertha. Of course it can only be worn with a bodice that is entirely devoid of trimming.

be called tea gowns it is impossible to conceive. A bed gown would bo more appropriate when you take into consideration tho loose, fulling- to-pieces look they give to the wearer. However, people will w ear ihem, and consequently they must be written about. A now one just from Paris is of ohaudron plush, with a pinky tinge in the rod. It was rather long-waisted at the back, with heavy gathers, three large buttons marking the waist. It had u jacket basque at the side, with more large buttons, tho whole of the front consisting of a drapery of lace caught down here and there with loops of ribbons and long bows. The lace was arranged over soft silk of a lighter tone. It was lined with blue, and a narrow plaiti ig of the blue just showed occasionally when the wearer moved. This laco was tho new Aquitaine point, tho pattern thick and heavy. A dark-green satin had the edge of the pointed bodice outlined with cord; the front was pink, but the green satin down the sides had handsome galloons of green beads, and puffings of pink appeared at the edge of the basque. A less costly gown was made of light-liluo cashmere, with a deep puff to tho elbow of the sleeves, the rest of the aim covered with black velvet; a collar of the velvet and uiitered straps of the same to keep the fullness in its place at tho beck and front. A petunia plush had a front of lightpeach silk, veiled with black esprit lace, curving in tiny plaits from the waist and allowed- to flow. The tea gown which most resembled an ordinary dress was a golden-brown terry ottoman, fitting tho figure closely, velvet covering the front breadth. A tea gown made in figured nun's veiling, porcelain blue on cream, opened over a soft porcelain silk, the sleeves cut on the cross. A Watteau plait appeared at tho bnck, which was part and parcel of the ruff, tho same piece forming a.so tho rovers in front. A girdle of metal chain-work confined the fullness at the waist. A very exquisite brocade of a large Venetian pattern in gold and white was made with a Watteau plait, so arranged that it could bo dropped to the waist and there simply added to the drapery, and the back of the bodice was complete without it. The fullness of the front drapery was so planned that bodice and skirt were in one, tho material uncut falling in iudeseribablo cross-way folds. There is quite a distinction between fans used in the summer and those that appear iu winter. The former are usually light and simple. Feathers do not seem appropriate for day use. .But as fans are seldom used at this season of the year except for evening, feathers are not only appropriate but also beautiful. This year the si iff quills of the swan have been dyed to suit the color of the dress, and consequently are very popular. But the new fans, destined specially for the use of young ladies, are provided in gauze to match

! the color of the toilet, and besprinkled

all over the surface or in a series of linos with spangles of silver, steel, or moonlight, according to the taste of the purchaser. For the wealthy there are no lack of the costly lace fans, in which diamonds are introduced as monograms. Some of the newest transparent black lace fans have a cascade of black lace on the outer rib, fastened here and there with diamond brooches, so that, if possible, they are rather prettier closed than when open. The lyre-shaped fans with pearl handles are very popular, and the feathers employed for them are very beautiful, especially the tufted marabout. Among the popular styles iu. the folding fans are those made of gauze mounted on ivory or wood sticks. Some of these are hand-painted in artistic sketches, flowers, landscapes, birds, or figures, and a combination of all. Crepe lisse folding fans showing nearly all the combinations it the summer-dress goods, handsomely embroidered, are among the novelties. A special novelty in Japanese folding fans is shown in painted (Tape. Tho mount has gold or silver figures in bright colored designs on the crinkly surface of the crape, and the effect is very pretty. Flat Japanese fans of embroidered silk, with tho embroidery alike on both sides, are very handsome. There are also fans of similar material with oddshaped frames that form the mount into a shallow bowl-shapod surface.

War an tho Biyh Hat. Now that war has been declared on the high hats worn at the theaters, says the Fittsburg Dispatch, good tactics would suggest some graceful way for tho ftir enemy, to retreat. This may be dono by giving a description of a few very becoming theater caps or scarfs which can easily be carried in the hiind or pocket, taking up no more space than a handkerchief. Escorts will readily be found who are willing to tike charge of these precious trifles which are not crushed in carrying, and can be adjusted either in tho lobby or after taking one's seat. A very pretty coyote can be made in this way. One coiner of a triangular scarf of pink car.hmere is either cut off or turned underneath for about eighteen inches, and this bias edge or fold is laid over a stiff piece of cape lace five inches wide and long enough to go around the face. A band of garnet velvet or a rich lace is laid upon this foundation about one &eh from the edge, and two rows of large pearl beads furnish a face trimming showy enough for any theater. Dainty scarfs of cashmere or surah, of any soft and becoming tint, with ruffles o!.' Spanish lace about the face are also exceedingly dvessy, and wearing these is a commendable step toward tho foreign custom of removing the hat and lotting the hair handsomely dressed be the only ornament for the head. If escorts will express approval and encourage this sensible innovation the war on tiats will be virtually ended.

Tea Uowim umt S'ans. This seema to be tho season when tea gowns are in request, says the Philadelphia Becord. Many wear them 4ox home dinners. Why they should

fashion fancies. BiiA.cs silk stockings are vsry stylish with red shoes. Is Paris most of the bonnets are worn without strings. The new burnt-ivoiy ornaments are very fashionable for buttons, buckles, and brooches. Some exquisite carving is seen in the lately-imported trifles. Silveb filigree jewelry is again becoming popular. Some of the pieces are very handsome, made of fine wire so as to resemble net or lace work. Butterflies, flowers of all kinds, and lace bows are arranged for head orna mentii. There are also necklets, lace pins, bracelets, and various other kinds of ornaments in this work. Something entirely new has been recently imported, comprising long panels and fronts for skirts, with bretelles for botbic.es, in jets and jewels. These passementeries surpass anything ever before manufactured in this lino, and are mar velously rich anc. beautiful: but, alas! can only be secured by those haviiig large bank accounts. Evening fans of gauze, hand-painted and with carved ivory sticks, are among the novelties. They have feather tips made of ostrich plumes turned into a circle. The combinations of color and material, as well as the designs, are exceedingly tasteful and elegant. Ostrich-feather fans are shown in new arid attractive designs. There are fewer fancy-feather fans than were shown last season, the ordinary form oi closing fan being generally preferred, A i. ate fancy in pretty and expensive trifles consists of a small mirror within a golden cas", to bo suspended from the waist by a chain four inches long. The case closes with a spring, and may be of plain gold or antique silver, or may be elaborately enameled or jeweled, according to tho fanoy or the length of tho purchaser's purse. One very lovely style shows the owner's monogram engraved on the back of tho case, the front being engraved in elaborate flower designs set with diamonds and rubies.

Percoptemetry.

Tho mind eats an idea. The imago absorbed must be either retained and digested or it must bo vomited back into forgetfulness. This theory alone

explains the fact that the rural-bred

boy so uniformly excels in strong common sense tho crammed occupant of our city schools. Constant rotching

destroys tno vigor of the stomach ; so, tho perpetual cram of matter which no

body expects will be retained is making

our school children mental dyspeptics. Headers of the biographies of solfniadn men note the fact that these selfbuilders had a very limited supply of printed matter; therefore such as they had was well digested. I have made this matter iv subject of thought for several years. The profession of pedagogy can never obtain its duo recognition until the mind's state is known beyond cavil. As a preliminary step to this desideratum I am perfecting an apparatus by means of which the operations of the mind may be noted and timed. I use a stop watch to take the time consumed in the absorption of an image by the brain through the ear and through the eye. By deducting tho timo employed by a mere mechanical repetition of the names of the images employed, I get the jjeriod actually consumed in the process of mental digestion. The difference of time required among a class of pupils to receive and return an imago of the mind is really astonishing. It must be borne in mind that when an intelligible sound enters the brain through the ear, the brain must rapidly seize upon some standard object of the kind and build up a brain counterpart before the sound becomes live enough to return again to the teacher. Thus, if I call out "pig," tho pupil seizes upon some mental picture of an animal familiar to all ; it is erected in the brain structure and is then ready for reiteration. By going r.bout a class of forty pupils, giving every one a word in rapid succession, I get the exact timo of the exercise. By repeating to myself, in tho same common time, the words used, I am enabled to get the difference of time between the receipt and delivery and the mere delivery. This time represents the period of mental digestion. I think the process can and will be reduced to a scientific basis. I think, too, that in the hereafter the services of a teacher will be measured in part by scientific calculation, such as here outlined. When this can be done there will be a new era for professional school teachers and a hegira for mere school keepers. San Francisco Call.

OleoinargarhiP. No person with a keen sense of taste can be deceived about oleomargarine. Butter is pure oiL Put a little in a warm place and see how quickly it liquefies. If the temperature 'comes close to boiling the butter is "oiled," and unfit for food. Try the same experiment with oleomargarine. It will not harm it, and you -ill find it difficult to melt it if yon drop it in boiling water. It will dissolve like tallow, not like butter. It also cuts like tallow, with a sort of metallic glint. Oleomargarine, ii "flavored" with true butter and made, into "prints," always keeps the print; in tho original clear lines. You can handle it without crushing it. It seems as if it had just come off ice. The first time I ever found it on a table I thought it tho handsomest butter I had ever seen. It was at a hotel in Saratoga, where board was $5 a day, I tasted it, could not swallow it. In two hours my mouth was sore, poisoned by pviemic germs in this pretty butter ! I did not connect the two things, and continued every morning to toaeh tho butter to my tongue, in the vain hope of finding something eatable. After five or six days a well-known member of the Boston Board of Trade paused beside my table and said, "Mrs. Dall, I hope you are not trying to eat that poison?" And then I discovered what the substance was. The sore mouth continued for four months ! I ought to add that oleomargarine is gritty, though t;he grit is very fine, and it will not cream smooth with sugar or without, like true butter. Caroline H. Dall, in JBoston Transcript. Important.

One was happy, because they found grapes. The other was unhappy, because the grapes had seeds in tht.m. Two men being convalescent were asked how they were. One said : "I am better to-day." The other said: "I was worse yesterday." When it rains one man says: "This will make mud." Another: "This will lay the dust." Two children looking through colored glass; one said: "The world is blue." And the other said: "It is bright." Two boys eating their dinner ;one said: "'I would rather have something other than this." The other said : "This is better than nothing." A servant thinks a man's house is principally a kitchen. A guest, that it is principally parlor. "I am sorry that I live," says one man. "I am sorry that I must die," says another. "I am glad," says one, "that it is no worse." "I am sorry," says another, "that it is no better." One man spoils a good repast w thinking of a better repast of another day. A uother one enjoys a poor repast by contrasting it with none at all. ' One men is thaukfid for his blessing-, Another is morose for his misfortunes. wno man thinks ho is entitled to a better world, and is dissatisfied because he hasn't got it.

The ttion Hunter's Wife. A clergymen laboring in the mountain districts of -Fayette county, W. Va., gives the following imversation he had with a woman there recently : "Is your husband at home?" "No; he is ooon-huuting. He killed two whooping big coons last Sunday." "Doos ho fear the Lord ?" 'V "I guess he doea, 'cause he always takes his gun with him." "Have you any Presbytorians around heroV" "1 don't know if he has killed any. or not. You can go behind tho house and look at the pile of hides to see if you can find any of their skins." "1 ne that you are living in the dark." "Yes, but my husband is going to cut out a window soon."

At tho masquerade ball in Adin last wool:, St. Jacobs Oil took the first prize. Noth

it every xamuy wnere used especially m ours, Bieuer, Vul., Mountain Tribune. The Mahogany Tree. Full grown, the mahogany tree is one of the monarehs of tropical America. Its vast trunk and massive arms, rising to a lofty height and spreading with graceful sweep over immense spaces., covered with beautiful foliage, bright, glossy, light and airy, clinging bo long to the spray as Jto make it almost an evergreen present a raro combination of loveliness and grandeur. The leaves are very small, delicate and polished like those, of the laurel. The flowers aro small and white, or greenish yellow. Tho mahogany lumbermen, having selected a tree, surround it with a platform about twelve feet above the ground and cut it above the platform. Somo dozen or fifteen feet of the largest part of the trunk are thus lost ; yet a single log not infrequently weighs from six or seven to fifteen tons, and sometimes measures as much as sevculcu feet in length and four and a half to five and a half feet in diameter, one ..tree furnishing two, three or four such logs. Home trees have yielded 12,000 superficial feet, and at average prices have sold for $15,000. Without Adnquate Cause, Or with apparently no cause at all, chilis and feror, thought to ba cured, gorminateB and rofructillos in tho eyutoiii. This giant among dineass cannot be laid out with quinine. The only way to givo it a final and oxtinguishius quietus, is to use persistently the national antidote to miasma poison, HoJtctter'o Stomach Bitten, which roots it out completely. The process of cure is. of course, much easier if tho Bitters is u led as a preventive, whan the first chill is felt, bnt persons who aro not nc luaintsd with the nature of tho symptoms aro HOmotimos in error ai to their cause, and neglect tho simple and pleasant romvdy, of all others boat suited to chock the progress of this dreaded and destructive niftiady. Visitor to, or pojourners in, malarious localities will, moreover, act tho partot wisdom if thoy use the Hitters as u preparative. l:heninatism, constipation, biliousness, indi-B.-st on, and kidney troubles are removed by tho Hitters. No Excelling Without Great Labor. In all vocations of life it is practice that makes perfect. Whether it is the muscle, the eye, tho ear, the voice, the brain, we are called upon to use, if we would excel, there must be constant and unremitting training. Von Bulow, the eminent pianist, says: "If I stop practice one day, I notice it in my playing; if I stop two days, my friends notice it; if I stop three days, the public notice it. " Every young man and every young woman who would reach any exalted position in any field of labor will find that it must be attained at the price of great perseverance and constant watchfulness. . A Plague of Rats. The inhabitants of Pitcairn island, who are descendants of the mutineers of the ship Bounty, are not able to raiso grain on account of the large number or rats in the fields. These rats escaped from vessels that landed on the island and have multiplied to such an extant that they devour almost everything that is raised.
