There is at Versailles an orange tree close upon 50Q years old. This tree, which was taken from Fontaine- bleau to Versailles on the completion of the Orangery, was already fa- mous under the title of the Grand Bourbon, According to tradition, the tree had been planted in°“4421 by a Princess of Navarre, and, after sev- ey changes of ownerss came into the paagession of Francois 1, by whom it placed at Fontainebleau.

In a small village ; there ig a famity of the name of Pan- rsini, and if all be true that is writ- ten of it we may think ourselves in the Dark Ages again. There are two: | boys in this “family, and they disap- pear” occasiona&$ in a most mysteri- vis manner. In fact, a few minutes after they disappear they are found miles away. How they get there no one can tell. They say they are car- Ghost. habit the house where® they live; plates and glasses are broken before - the eyes of all, aud cakes and sweets are showered over the boys’ beds | when they are asleep. One of the boys. falls in trances, when he speaks dif- ferent. languages (even Latin and ‘Greek) in a strange voice. He also -phesies. Doctors and priests have visited him, but cannot discover the machinery which is evidently at work -somewhere. The last who visited him was a Jesuit father. At his approach the boy began to curse and swear and kicked him. The Jesuit says the boy is possessed by the devil!--Vanity Fair. PROOF POSITIVE “OF MISTAKE Frog Was There to Back Up Assertion of Doctor, Many years ago Dr. Woodware, Quincy, Mass., was much annoyed by a wealthy maiden ‘tady who was very positive she had swal-! lowed a ‘young. frog and- that; it- was growing in her stomach. After many attempts to disillusion ber, the doctor resorted to a strata- gem. He procured a medium-sized frog, and placing it in his pocket, vis- ited the patient and informed her that he proposed to remove the frog. He administered a powerful emetic. He then produced the frog, and she was very happy, and kept the frog as a souvenir. In less than a week he had an ur- gent call from the lady, who tearfully informed him that the frog had left one ofits family in haz stomach He took the frag, placed him on a table, and with his microscope examineé him long and attentively. At last, with a sigh of relief, he exclaimed: you are mistaken; the frog | 1s a he one.”—Exchange. Thought Tom Was Near at Hand. She is a devoted mother, whose lov- ing attentions to her family have giv- en her little opportunity for keeping abreast of the world’s advancement. The eldest son had been absent from home for the first time, and the elder members of the family planned a surprise by placing her in telephone | vommunication with him. | ing the voice of her boy through the | receiver she could not believe that he was far away in Atlanta, Ga., as he assured her he was. Dropping the instrument, she looked under the ta- ble and called out, “Now, ‘Tom, come |.out of there and stop your nonsense.” ' —Baltimore Sun. Wrong Time of Year to Die. Some forty or more years ago there resided in West Gloucester, Mass., the parents of a member of one of Boston’s large jewelry firms. After | much solicitation the son finally in- duced his mother to abandon her hum- ble home for his palatial one, but no amount of persuasion could make the {father come. Not‘long after the ehange the old lady died, in the ; month of July, and word was sent to | her husband. The old gentleman took the “letter to a neighbor, saying: “Wife’s dead; can’t go anyway: right |in haying time. Why couldn’t .ske ; have gone in January?” . | A Providential Fire. Here is a new view. of providential j mterference in the affairs of this world: “Our neighbor, Abe Ingles, -had six mortgages on his house and barn, and, as-he couldn’t pay up, his creditors de- cided to foreclose him; but Just before the bailiff arrived with papers a prpv- idential fire broke out in the kitchen, and the house was burned to the ground. Then th@ bailiff, hastening to the scene, fell into a storm pit ant broke his good leg and lost his woo en one. How mysterious are the ways of Providence!”—Atlanta Constitution. * Avon Was Hard to Represent. Some years ago W. L. Wilson, a na- ‘tive of Avon, Conn., was elected to represent his town in the state legis- lature. Avon, being at the head of the list of towns alphabetically, was always called first when a yea and nay vote was taken, and consequently Mr Wil- son, as its representative, was obliged to go on record first. Of this fact he msed to complain bitterly, saying: “Avon is the hardest town in the state to represent, because you never can tell which way the majority is going te.” to vote. » Louisa Alcott Survived It. ‘Miss Louisa M. Alcott was once ting in a small town in Connectt- cut in which only a few days before exceedingly small child had been born. . In the course of conversation the child was spoken of, and Miss Al- cott laughingly said: “I have heard that 1 was a very small infant.

All good music is.a character build- | er, because iis constant suggestion of harmony, order and beauty puts the mind into a normal attitude. Musie clears the cobwebs out of many minds, so that they can think better, act, bet- ter and live better. Some writers are | dependent upon music for their . in- ‘| spiration and their moods. Somehow _it brings the muse to them. It adds brillianey te the brain and facility to | the pen which they cannot seem to | get in any other way. Good music seems to give us a poe of the divine and to put us in contact with divinity. It drives out them. It lifts us above petty annoy- | ances and little worries of life and gives us a glimpse of the idea which ; the actual is constantly obscuring.-- Success. MARBLES CAME FROM GERMANY. of Children World’s Toyshop. Marbles got their name from the | fact that originally little bits of mar- | bles were rolled down the hills and rounded and pounded by other stones until they become toys for children tc play with. It is said that the Dutchman ex | ported them to England, from where | we got them. Whether they did or not | makes little difference to the boys and j girls of to-day. No matter who intro- duced the world to marbles as toys, } they are with us, and always will be. Some of you win them from other children—some of you trade postage stamps for them; but some person or- iginally bought them from the little store around the corner, whose owner got them from that greatest toy shop in the world—Germany. In the beginning marbles were call- | ed bowls, and men and women played with them, as well as ‘children. Hun- dreds of millions of commies and ; agates and glassies and shiners are sent to America and the children get more pleasure out of these cheap lit- tle toys than almost anything else.— Washington -Star. | Delight i i i | Dynamite “Whiskers.” The name “whiskers” is applied to feathery crystals which gather upon the outside of the wrappings of frozen dynamite. The “whiskers” ‘are more “irritable” than dynamite itself. A case is on record where sticks of dyna- | mite had been thawed out in hot water apd the can of hot water in | which it was done left in the black- | smith shop without being emptied of he residual scum of grease and whis- - kers. The first blow of the black- smith’s hammer on-a nearby anvil was sufficient to set off the whiskers by concussion. The can was blown to pieces, but fortunately no one was hurt. Superstitious Zulus. An official in Africa writes of the | Zulus: “About 5,000 people were here | last Friday and, the ‘indaba’ (discus- ; sion) lasting antil after sundown, most of them were compelled ta | Sleep Levé. Having no food for their entertainment, I hurridly purchased two bulls, which I gave the chiefs. Knowing their superstition, I did not kill the animlas, but allowed them to | do so. However, none of them would touch the meat. They thought I might have bewitched the animals, and that by partaking ef the meat they would lose all influence with their people.” f Wood Was Coming Too Freely. Some sixty years ago the town of Palmer, Mass., had a settled minister by the name of Backhus. In those days the minister’s salary was paid in part by products from the farms. In | the month of February, with easy sledding, the farmers took to draw- | ing green birch wood to the minister ‘until his yard was piled full of it. ; his pulpit, and in a loud voice said:. “If I could have a few more loads of green bir®€h wood I could extinguish the fires of hell.”—Boston Herald. evil thoughts, making us ashamed of | Originated in | The following Sunday the minister | | reverentially ascended the steps to , he Fair Store - SECOND STREET ~ SHERMAN YOST, Prop’r ' This is the place to get goods at low prices.
