The Silver IU»1«.
i The highest pinnacle of tree develop
ment seems to have been reached when
! the silver maple was formed In na
-1 lure’s crucible. Think of all the good
points In a physically perfect, high
strung, blooded horse, apply these
points to tree life and we have the sil
ver maple. From the ground up to the
topmost leaflet we find expressed In ev
ery atom of the tree strength, vitality,
purity, beauty and usefulness. The
trunk of this tree Is as sleek and clean
eut as any one could Imagine a tree to
be. The leaf Is beautiful In Its shape
and eolor, the underside being a sil
very white —from which It takes its
name- and ns one stands under It and
looks tip he sees a silver dome, or, If
a breeze Is blowing, the green and sil
ver leaves shimmer and vibrate like aa
aspen, giving the appearance of pale
green lire, which Is especially notice
able on the approach of a storm. The
leaf Is five pointed and the entire edge
Is again indented with well defined
teeth. Tills is the common shade tree
of our cities.- St. Nicholas.
A .\linlnter*M Wooing.
i The Rev. John Brown of Haddington,
the author of the “Self Interpreting Bi
ble,” was a man of singular bashful
noss. His courtship lasted seven years.
Six and a half years had passed away,
and the reverend gentleman had got no
further than he had been in tlie first
six days. A step in advance must be
made, and Mr. Brown summoned all his
courage for the deed. “Janet,” said he
one day as they sat in solemn silence,
“we’ve been acquainted now six years
and inair, and I've ne’er gotten a kiss
yet. I,’ye think I might take one, my
bonnie lass?" “Just as you like, John;
only be becoming and proper wl’ it.”
“Surely, Janet; we’ll ask a blessing.”
The blessing was asked, the !;h 3 v.as
taken, and the worthy divine, overpow
| ered with the blissful sensation, raptu
rously exclaimed: “Heigh, lass, but it
|is glide! We’ll return thanks!” Six
months later the pious couple were
made one flesh.
Soiled Clothes Barrel.
“When I was in Sydney, New South
Wales,” said a traveler, “I visited the
botanical gardens, the largest and
most magnificent park in Sydney, but
I had hardly stepped inside the grounds
when I saw a sign that nearly took
my breath away.
“The sign was a notice to the public
that no person wearing a dirty shirt
would be permitted to enter the
grounds. It was such a remarkable
notice that I looked up one of the
keepers for an explanation. And, do
you know, his explanation was quite
plausible.
“We don’t want a laboring man to
come here In his working clothes,” he
said. “We w ant him to go home and
put on clean clothes and bring his fam
ily here, looking neat and clean and
have a good time. That: makes the sur
roundings more cheerful for everybody
concerned.”—San Francisco Chronicle.
How nn«l Why It ItHln«.
Rain is an accumulation of the tiny
particles of the vapor of the atmos
phere into drops. These drops, first
small of size, attract others of their
kind and become drops of such magni
tude that they fall to the earth because
of their weight. There is a limit to the
quantity of water which the air is capa
ble of absorbing and retaining as in
visible vapor. Warm air is able to bold
more than cold air; hence when the
air which is saturated with moisture
becomes cold for auy reason whatever
it can no longer retain Us moisture. A
portion must under such condition ac
cumulate into drops. These fall to the
earth in the shape of rain.
Ills Hunt! Bath.
Arguing forcibly, if not convincingly,
against the custom of taking a bath,
still happily prevalent in certain quar
ters, a writer relates the savory story
of a Kentish f amp worker whose horny
hand he grasped. “Good Kent dirt,”
said the man, catching a critical glance.
“Haven’t had time to wash your hands
before tea?” w;as the question. “Wash
my ’ends!” exclaimed the man. Then
he became explanatory. “I ucver
washes my 'auds. When they gets ’urd
I ”es ’em.”

Venice.
Throughout her career Venice In
spired in her sous such devotion at
passes the patriotism of most peoples
They revered tier as queen, they loveo
her >ij) mother. Although an exclusive
oligarchy 'ruled the state, yet every
Venetian to!t that Venice belong ’ ’
him. St. Mark was the patron equally
of doge and dustman. The legend
which all believed, tlie pageants in
which ejaaa the humblest had his place
sprang out of the heart of the wholi
people and symbolized the unity which
bound all together. And life in Venice,
mere physical life, was pleasant to a
larger proportion of the inhabitants
and during more generations than it
has been in any other city. No wonder,
therefore, that when Tintoret, the
greatest of her painters—in so many
respects the greatest of all painters—
was commissioned to decorate the va-vi
wall of tlie hall of the great council,
wishing to express the feeling of every
Venetian toward his incomparable city,
he chose for his subject paradise.—

First Transatlantic Yacht Kace.
I The three schooners, Henrietta,
Vesta and Fleetwiug, were the con
testants in the first across the ocean
yacht race, in 1806, for a stake of
$90,000. Those three yachts made the
race in the depth of winter, starting
from New York harbor on Dec. 11,
1806, and finishing off the Needles a
fortnight later, tlie Henrietta crossing
the line on Christmas eve, the Vesta
and Fleetwing finishing in tlie early
; morning hours of the great holiday.
And for almost the entire length of
i that 3,000 mile passage they were ac
companied by strong westerly winds,
heavy seas and alternate squalls of
; rain, hail and snow. Neither the pas
! sengers nor crew were in dry clothes
from beginning to end of tlie race,
and they suffered every hardship, bar
ring shipwreck, that could come to
any one making the passage in the
I winter months,
Cliiaa*s National Tree.
I The tung-siiU, or wood oil, tree is
; worthily named the national tree of
I China. It is stately in appearance,
I with smooth green bark and wide
1 spreading branches, affording a fine
j shade. It belongs to the eupliorblaeae,
I or spurge, family, of which the castor
j oil plant Is a member. It bears a fruit
resembling a shell bark hickory nut,
but as large as a small orange. Each
nut contains three triangular seed sim
ilar to small Brazil nuts. The oil Is
pressed from these seeds, and the ref
use Is used as a fertilizer. The oil is
used principally for polishing wood
work and dressing leather. Consid
able quantities are exported. TJie wood
of the tung-shu is used for making mu
sical instruments, fine boxes and the
framework of small houses. It is free
from the ravages of insects.
An Odd WreMtlfiiß Match.
The extraordinary custom of wres
tling for a bottle prevails at Ilallaton,
In Leicestershire, England, where (he
villagers have to brace themselves for
action on Easter Monday In order to
retain possession of a plot of ground
left to them in the good old days. The
botlie is a large wooden one, bound
round with Iron rims, and contains
ale. It is thrown on the ground that
the men of the neighboring village of
Melbourne may try to wrest it from
the inhabitants of Hallaton. When the
battle is over, the victors drink the
contents. The san e bottle has done
duty for nearly half a century. As a
pr iminary to the great struggle, two
moat pics and two dozen penny loaves
are scrambled for.
