The year 190S ho* been an eventful year In Egypt In many waya, aaya a rablegram from Cairo, but It will alto serve to mark the tllaappearance of one of the few early Chiiatlan rellca the country poaseaaea. From time Im memorial visitors, Impelled by curios- ity nr by plou* veneration, have made n point of trudging out to Matarleh, a village about C miles beyond Cairo, on the nnrtheaat aide, In order to have a look at the "Vlrgln’a Tree," a sycamore tree, under which the Virgin .Mary la said to have rested during her flight Into Egypt. Now the “Virgin'* Tree” Is no more, having fallen on July 14. The curious part about the venera tion in which the tree has been held la that It Is not the original tree which afforded a shelter to our Lord, for It is well known that it was planted to ward the end of the seventeenth cen tury. Tradition says that It sprang from the seed of the original sycamore, and the course of years has caused (Ida fact to pass Into oblivion and re placed It by the story that It Is the original tree. .Strange to relate, Moslems have al ways evinced a great respect for the "Virgin's Tree.” Ismail Pasha made a present of It to the Empress Eugenie when she came to Egypt for the open ing of the Sues canal, nnd It Is owing p> the Initiative of the present Khedive iliat cuttings were some time back taken from the sycamore. By these means a fresh sapling can be obtained, mill so take the place of the one that has fallen, and. If It does nothing else, it will mark the spot which has been the subject of veneration of the pious for nearly i.OOO years.

Mrs. Knlcker—What were the favors it her dinner? Mrs. Rocker—Her rook let her giro It nnd her doctor let her est It.—New York Him. Will council, with Samuel Spencer dead, confer upon him an honor to which he objected while living'.' Aldermen Holland 'and Hirach have Introduced an ordinance, changing the name of Madison avenue. Which the Terminal station faces, to Spencer ave nue. This ordlnnnce Is being looked upon with great favor by council, and there Is a strong probability that It will be adopted. It Is remembered that In 1903 a simi lar ordinance was drawn up and Intro duced by Alderman- Lallatte und.Coun- dlmen Terrell and Harwell, the last- named now an alderman. The ordi nance, so the records show, was re ferred to the committee on etreets March Id, 1903. and nothing else was ever heard of It. The purpose of the authors was to pay a fitting tribute to Mr. Spencer, who, as the president of the Southern railway, .had been the guiding and moving spirit that led to the erection of the Terminal station. Mr. Spencer, upon hearing that such an honor was planned, notified the com mittee on streets that he strenuously objected to the changing of the name of the street; that Madison was a great president of the United States and the name should be retained as Atlanta's memorial to him. It Is stated, however, that Mr. Spen cer's primary objection wns that he didn't believe In the principle' of nam ing a street after a living man. Now that he has passed away It is argued that It would be a fitting tribute to have the street faced by the Atlanta Terminal station officially named Spen cer av*nue. Got All But Name.
