John Randolph of Roanoke, Ameri- can orator and statesman, died in Phil- adetphia In 1888, deserted by many of his old-time friends and a physical wreck through the use of opium. Nearing the end he attributed the fall- ure of his life to “uugovernable tem- per” and he died with the word “re morse” on his lips, Here are some of Randolph’s epi- grams: “I am an aristocrat—I love liberty, I hate equality.” “Asking one of the states to surrender part of her sovereignty is like asking a lady to surrender part of her chastity.” “Stick to a friend a little In the wrong.” “No man was ever satisfied to be half a king.” “The three degrees of compari- son—begging, berrowing and stealing.” “Pay ag you go” was a political proverb that Randolph started on its rounds. He hung this saying on Mar- tin Van Buren, that “he always rowed to his object with mufred oars.” Van Buren was a “gumshoer,” in the par- lance of the Twentieth century. Of Clay he said, “Clay’s eye is on the presidency, but my eye is upon him.” Referring to England’s naval strength in 1812 and Madison’s pamphlet on “neutral rights” Randolph sald, “Against 800 ships in commission we enter the lists with a three shilling pamphlet,” HAVE THEIR DISTINCT VOICES Lovers of the Wild Easily Able te Recognize “Tongues” by Which Trees Speak. It may not be generally known, but it Is perfectly true, that it is quite pos- sible to recognize trees by their voices, though not, of course, so simple & matter as that of identifying birds. In summer, the sounds are produced by the leaves rubbing against each other, and trees with small leaves, like the birch, for instance, speak in much more rapid tones than do the large- leaved chestnuts. Like the cuckoo, trees change their notes with the seasons. A dry leaf produces a different sound from a soft one. Tennyson the poet mentions the “dry-tonged laurels’ pattering talk,” In autumn all trees have drier leaves than In spring. In winter trees talk through their twigs. Thick branches proguce lower notes {han thin ones, as Professor Humphreys has pointed out, and when the branches vary in size the range of notes is correspondingly great- er. Hence the muffied plaint of the oak and the sibilant sigh of the pines, The murmur of the forest Is really the whisperings . of innumerable voices, each with its own distinctive character, blended into one current of sound,— Montreal Family Herald. , Found Nearsightedness a Boon. Most persons wity sufferers ot my- opia, which is a blurring of the vision through nearsightedness, But one vic time of the affliction, a theatergoer, says his nearsightedness is a distinct advantage. “Being a lover of beauty, when I go to the theater I like to see loveliness all about me,” he said. “Now, you know that one of the disappointing things you can look at is makeup at close range. Yet we all like to sit close enough to the stage to hear clearly, “Through my nearsightedness the garishness of the paint is softened and I see only a becoming glow on the cheeks of the players. When my friends have told me of unbeautiful things which they have seen upon the stage I have felt grateful that my eyes are slightly dulled by myopia."— New York Sun. Original “United States.” There were only 18 original col- onjes, and New York state has never been included in New England. The “Thirteen United Colonies” that sent delegates to the Continental congress on September 18, 1775, and afterward called themselves the “United States” were “Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hanipshire, New York, New Jersey, Georgia, North Caro- lina, South Carolina, Virginia, Penn- sylvania, Delaware and Maryland. The colony of Maine belonged to Massachu- setts and Vermont was claimed both by New Hampshire and New York, Ver- mont was admitted into the Union as the fourteenth state on March 4, 1791. The New England states are Massachu- setts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, Natural Curlosity. x! A natural curiosity is the “Devil's Well” in Washington, 35 miles north of Spokane. This well is a cylindrical shaft, 40 feet in diameter, sunk by some natural agency in solid basalt rock on a mountain top. The water level varies according to atmospheric conditions, the average being about 30 feet below the mouth of the well. The swirling water with logs floating on Its surface is said to inspire a feeling of awe ag one stands at the brink and looks along the smooth, sheer walls into its blue depths. Flowers and Love. Ever dear to the lover have been the fancies woven around flowers and the charms they were held to exercise in the profession of love. .For instance, to discover the initials of a future lover’s name you were only supposed to go and cut a bracken stem, and the Initlals would be found there.
