. King of All Trees.
Fred W. Clough, :i well known en
gineer of the Comstock, has been
spending some weeks in the wilds of
the Sierras, about the headwaters of
the Kaweah river, Tulare county, Cal
ifornia. He was accompanied in his
wandering;! by Westley Warren, an
old Comstocker, who now resides in
Tulare valley. About the headwaters
of the Kuweahthey got into an unex
plored and almost impenetrable re
gion. In one place they woro obliged
to cut p trail for almost a mile in or
der to pet through the ehti|>arml that
blockaded tho mountain pass. Mr.
Clough says that on tho trip they dis
covered a tree of sequoia species,
which he believes to bo much tho
largest on tho continent of America.
Mr. Warren, who has seen the big
trees of Mariposa, those of the big tree
grove in Calaveras county, and all the
nig trees of the coast range, says there
is in no pluco in California a tree
which approaches in size that on tho
Kaweah.
The men had with them no rule,
tupcline or meusuro of any kind, but
Mr. Warren measured the tree with
hia rifle, which was four foot in length.
Ho found it to bo forty-four lengths of
bis gun in circumference ut a point as
hi”h above the ground as lie could
reach. The top of tho tree had been
broken oil', but it is still of immense
height. This monster tree stands in a
small basin near tho Kaweah, and is
surrounded on all sides by a wall of
huge, rugged rocks. There is so much
brush in tho vicinity that tho little
valley in which the tree stands is al-
i nost inaccessi bio. — Amador Sen ti ucl.
A Historic Old Clock.
There is in the eslablishmen t oi John
McDuflie, in Albany, one of the finest
specimens of antique clocks over seen,
i t was procured at Amsterdam, Hol
land, by Mrs. McDuflie, The timepiece
was made at Amsterdam in 1080 by
Andrian Bagltyn and is a marvel of
mechanism. It stands twelve feet
high. The caso is of bird’s eye black
walnut and on tho top of it stand three
golden statuettes. The central figure
represents Atlas bending beneath the
weight-of a miniature globe. The
right and left figures are counterparts
of Gabriel in the act of blowing his
trumpet. When wound the clock runs
eight days. It gives the day of the
month with the phases of the moon as
well as the hour, and strikes every
quarter. Considering that it lias been
ticking, away the hours for over two
centuries, it keens remarkable time
and is in a wonderful state of preser
vation. It has an air of past ages
about it and is undoubtedly a histori
cal landmark of post centuries.—New
York Telegram.
A liunuel for n Text-
There have been many preachers
whose pulpit jokes are the only re
membered portionsof their harangues.
.Michel- Menot, reproving the ladies
for being late at chureu, told them
that it would take less time to cleanse
the Augean stables than to stick in all
a woman’s pins. The story is told of
Rowland Iiill that he once began a
sermon with the words, “Look at my
wife there, with a chest of drawers on
her head.” The congregation stared
at the poor lady thus pointed out, but
only perceived that she wore a new
bonnet. “She lias sold a chest of
drawers and bought a new bonnet
with the proceeds.” Then lie went on
to inveigh against female loveof dress.

The Man Tiifit Ev«r Lived.
A flutter of excitement was created
here by the arrival of Obey Grif
fin with a large trunk containing tlic
wearing apparel of his dead wife, a
very estimable lady, who died several
months ago. He immediately mounted
a dry goods box in front of the post-
office, and in a shrill voice urged the
negroes and loungers around to come
forward and give him a bid on tho
: dresses and underclothing of his wife,
and the negro women of the demi-
1 rnonde attended in droves, .purchased,
land are today flaunting around ar-
| rayed in their second hand dresses,
; and grinning from ear to ear at their
luck in cheap bargains. Alepaha

WELL FORMED CHILDREN.
Pacts nml Conrlnslons Dmu-n from tin In*
ventilation of tho School*.
Tito common school teacher finds
perfectly healthy children am a rarity.
Seldom will 10 , ir cent, of herclussof
fifty be found free from any physical
defect whatever and with true devel
opment for their age. Of these it
must lie regretfully admitted that the
smallest number are Americans, The
best, formed school children and the
healthiest arc the Germans and Bohe
mians, the next of Irish parentage.
Nowhere, as in the south and west of
Ireland, where children run free, of
care all the year round, liatless, shoe
less, living on the coarsest, plainest
food, and yet with some measure of
school restrictions, can such specimens
of perfect physical beauty in form and
face be found. Glance over any school
room, with its upturned faces "inquisi
tively questioning the thought of tho
observer, and but few really fine fea
tured children arc to bo found after
the age of 10 is passed.
When a handsome face, answering
all the laws that govern beauty, is dis
covered, it is invariably synonymous
with good health in its possessor, and
all too often of foreign parentage or
birth. For these two defects, the
want of good health and good looks
and the added otic of grace, in the ma
jority of public school children, one is
naturally led to think of a cause, but
instead of ono there are many. Tho
nrimury one may be found in the fol
lowing remarks of Francis Willard:
“Women’s everlasting bel'rilled, bedi
zened and lied ragged stylo of dress is
today doing more harm to children tin
born, born and dying than all other
causes t hat compel public attention.”
Class recitations where pupils stand
are now in most, schools done away
with, and this is fortunate, since pu
pils woro sometimes kept an uncon
scionably longtime oh the floor, result
ing in evils one dreads to think of. and
unfortunate in that tho children have
all tho session long no change of po
sition. But the teacher who insists on
having her troublesome, uneasy little
follows stand fora half hour lias much
to answer for, as Well as one who at
gues strongly on tho abolition of the
recess. One cannot but be sympathetic
with the teacher. If she does not keep
her pupils like so many trained dum
mies she is a poor disciplinarian and
subject to dismissal. If her class docs
not know every date from Adam to
Harrison, and the location of all cross
road towns from Siberia to Patagonia,
she is not keeping up that modern
bugbear, the “course of study.”
Dr. Anderson gives a list of the most
common physical defects found in
pupils in the public schools. They are
summarized as;
Head—Droops forward; carried u
little to one side; chin raised too high.
Shoulders—Round, sloping, stoop
ing and uneven; ono lower than tho
other.
Thorax—One side better developed
than the other; tho diameter at the
base too short.
Upper Back—Right shoulder blade
too pworninentin right lmiulcd people.
Spine'—Bends too far forward from
between the shoulders.
Waist—Too narrow; abdominal
muscles weak.
Hips—Thrown too fur forward.
Arms—Forearm bettor developed
than tlio upper arm.
Leg—Better developed than thigh.
Thigh—Inside and back poorly de
veloped.
Any person entering the examining
room of a gymnasium for boys would
be astonished at the large number that
have one or even more of those defects,
and with girls this is found almost uni
versal. While with hoys indulging
in frequent play there will be found
good muscular development of the
lower limbs, the trunk, that part hold
ing the vital organs, will hut occa
sionally be found perfect on exami
nation. As every one knows, poor
circulation is a common fault, and
can be remedied by exerciso properly
taken.—Boston Herald.
ImltiHtrlul AhsucIuUoiih in Frunze.
There are in Franco 877 associations
of employers, 81)1 of workingmen and
5!)7 of farmers. The workingmen’s
associations, which were formerly po
litical organizations, have become for
the most part purely mutual benefit
.societies of late years. The agricult
ural societies do not agitate political
ly like our grangers. They are to a
largo extent co-operative and techni
cal. The Farmer’s association near
Fontainebleau, for instance, owns a
slaughter house at which every mem
ber lias his cuttle killed at very low
prices. This and other similar co-op
erative devices of the French farmers’
associations show that the French
peasant is not so stupid and helpless
as he is generally supposed to be. —

Grape Fruit in tiie South.
It has been said by more titan one
southern fruit grower that a fortune
was waiting the man who had the
courage to plant a grove of grape fruit
trees, and depend on them fora living.
Heretofore there has been unsystematic
cultivation of the trees. Two or three
trees arc- planted around the yards or
orchards for ornament as much as for
anything else, and allowed to take
care of themselves. If properly treated,
however, their yield would be much
larger than it is today, and a good
profit con hi be made from them.

Best Thing He Ever Saw.
The following is an extract from a
letter written by Mr. I). A. Reynolds,
editor and propriety’ of tho herald,
Lyons Mich., under date of January
11th, 1800: “You will observe that 1
have given your advertisement, position
on the first page of the Herald, while
other proprietary medicines have had
to take the tun of the paper. The rea
son for doing this is, that upon receiv
ing your "copy” a number of the cures
effected seemed similar to t hat of which
my little son was suffering, a case of
blood poison, or irritable sores break
ing out all over bis body. To-day lie is
entirely free from disease, and one bnl-
tlo of Swift’s Specific (S, S. S.) did the
work. Now this is the reason for giv
ing you the position, us I consider
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) the best medi
cine 1 ever saw. I wish you unlimited
success in your business.”
Tho above is a sample of lelteis
which are coming to us all the time.
S. S. S. is nearer infallible than any
remedy made, and lias probably done
more good than any medicine known
lo mankind.
